They have this one, if you don't mind the white frame. MX Browns and cheaper than the one that's discontinued.
Looks like it's even $65 after rebate. Good price.
Reddit has a new Keyboard Wiki.

$55 @ newegg with $20 rebate for that monstrosity
It happens some times on Newegg, but I've also heard rumors of Cherry MX Black being labeled EoL. I don't know if it's true or not, but I wouldn't worry about it too much (there's easy ways to mod Cherry MX switches if you want to put the effort into it).
Blame the patent system! I think it's silly to monopolize what would other wise be popular tech if not for the patent holders; smart, but still silly.
Spilled tea with honey on my black widow ultimate a few days ago, promptly unplugged it and let it dry out. Already washed the keys and aprox a dozen switches are quite stiff from the honey so I was thinking I'd soak in distilled water and spam only the keys that I have issues with? Don't really want to soak it in isopropyl alcohol but I can. Any recommendations on how long to soak and etc?
I was just about to purchase a Ducky Shine II. But the Cherry Stabilizers are repellent.
They're different from normal Cherry stabs, not as much contact so they feel smoother.
Edit; almost every backlit board you'll find will have Cherry type stabilizers, only recently have Costar's been made compatible with LEDs.
I have way too many mechanical keyboards already, and I want more. I'm an addict.
Reliable key registering and even pressure are the main reasons why I use mechboards.
WASD is releasing LED boards with Costar stabilizers in March.
Zarathustra[H];1039027813 said:Thanks for the suggestion. I will check in with them. They may still have some older 1 piece keys in stock (the customizes used to come with them I understand) but as of today, everything they are making new appears to be two piece.
This is probably the right choice for them, as most people seem to prefer the two piece keys (and they appear more expensive to make), I'm just an oddball.
Maybe I can find an owner of an older customizer with 1 piece keys who wants to swap?
Problem is, most of those keycaps are going to be the ivory/taupe color scheme, not dark grey or black. I already have a full set of those keycaps from my 52G9700 that was water damaged (roof leak at work) but they look like absolute crap on a black keyboard.
I appreciate your suggestions.
I've been busy so thread has been forgotten. But finally the WASD V2 Keyboard is up for pre-order. http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/wasd-v2-87-key-custom-mechanical-keyboard.html
Some time next week I will start to update the OP with the new boards that have been released last and this year.
Just a quick question- I'm a nub when it comes to mechanical keyboards. I just purchased a Quickfire Rapid with black switches, and I will be using it via USB which does not have NKRO. However, it does advertise "anti-ghosting" even in USB mode.
I play a lot of fighting games, namely BlazBlue or SSF4AE, and I'm often pressing 4-5 keys simultaneously (A+S+D or Z+X+C at the same time along with a few arrow keys). Will it still have ghosting issues as I'm using a USB connection rather than PS/2?
I just want Corsair to release the Brown version of the K70 already. Gorgeous keyboard.
I've never tried any of these new mechanical keyboards, but I had an old keytronic in the 90's that I used until it broke sometime around 2001. How do they compare to these new ones? I guess a problem is that very few people have old hardware left to compare with...
I wonder though if we are going to get a new generation of youngsters hitting the keys so hard that you can hear them a mile away. My dad manages to break every single laptop keyboard in less than a year. Back in the early 80's he spilled a bottle of coke on his UNIX terminal at work and after that he had to punch the keys HARD in order to press them down. He got used to typing like that and never unlearned this typing habit...
