UPDATE: New switches installed and the keyboard is immensely improved by brown switches over reds. The KPrepulic switches went in flawlessly. The KPrepulic switches went in flawlessly. The only difference is that the frame/backplate of the switch is white instead of black but this actually seems to slightly improve the illumination of the keys. You're welcome. I'm sure you'll enjoy whichever one you go with. I've got a few Outemu red boards. I like their linear switches. You can't go wrong with a Red Dragon mechanical keyboard. They have Red, Blue, and Brown switch boards, that are all pretty solid offerings. In fact, HyperX’s third (still-to-be-released) switch is a HyperX Blue, which is intended to replace the vaunted MX Blues. The Aquas, oddly enough, are meant to fill the Cherry MX Brown slot. You will find Red, Blue, Brown, Black, Green, etc. colored switches which all function differently. These look much better than the membrane switches and are generally dust resistant. There are switches like Cherry MX switches, Kailh Switches, Romer-G switches, and many more which are used in different types of mechanical keyboards. It's available with Cherry MX Red, Brown, Blue, and Speed Silver switches. Comparatively, the Claymore II comes with a plushy wrist rest, and it has more extra features thanks to its larger size, like a volume control wheel, a USB passthrough, and a numpad. It's available with linear and clicky ROG RX Optical Mechanical switches. The legs of the traditional brown switch housing on the top is different with the brow cap switch, which has a four legged design. The Gateron Cap Switches can be adapted to Keychron K2, K2 (Hot-swappable) version, K4, K6 or K8 keyboards, purchase it in the link below if you like it: .
