ExonauticBrowns are slightly lighter than blues, and have lighter tactile bump, with no click noise. Clears are heavier browns with stronger tactile bump.
You can turn off the LEDs in the V60. The LEDs are big selling point

Vandenhulnot a matter of turning it off or not rather that i would rather it be a bit cheaper and not waste money on a feature that i won't need for a work keyboard.

AntonyFaragBUT, this keyboard is one of the cheapest around even if it has backlight.

Friskyand a $15 dolor jump just to get the cherry clears if only there was gateron browns. I hate cherry browns i feel a lack of quality for those.

AntonyFaragExactly, BS mark up for "clears". All styles of keys should be the same price. Otherwise don't offer them, just pisses people off. Most are educated here or so I would assume. Perhaps I assume incorrect?

PureDreamsI expect some markup for clears but $15 is way too much for my pocket book $5 would have been acceptable. i think i'm going to get this instead much closer to what i wanted. https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1371

AntonyFaragNot a bad deal but the key font looks terrible. I've never typed on Gateron switches. But from what I've read their tactile bump is around 85% of the key press vs. 50% for Cherry switches. That's probably too low of a strike to be able to use o-rings on the keys. I might just wait Black Friday and pick up another Max Blackbird Tenkeyless. I think it's the best overall Tenkeyless on the market. Just wish it had USB 3.0 support, RGB backlit keys, and a 60% mini layout version.

PureDreamsno the gateron is at about the same 50% point 2mm. it is a lot smother though with a more distinct bump.

Silent Holy Panda X?

I ordered some Holy Panda X switches, and I fell in love with them. They are a joy to type on. There's just one problem. The place that I use my keyboard to type the most is obviously at work, which is a problem if I want to use the Holy Panda X in the office around a whole bunch of people. I really don't want to torture my coworkers with the clack of these switches. I'd rather they still liked me. The good news is that, for me, the actuation of the Holy Panda X is the best part. I could take or leave the sound it makes; even if it is fantastic. Which leads me to my conundrum: is there another "silent" switch that feels similar to the Holy Panda X? Is there a piece I can remove from the Holy Panda X that would allow me to make them silent? Or am I going to have to wait and see if Drop will drop a Silent Holy Panda X for the in-office mech community?

Support for Alternative Layouts

This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....
