<p dir="ltr">Cherry browns are good switches, but it's not as though the mech options end there. What didn't you like about them specifically? I have everything from buckling spring to topre and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. The only switches I personally can't stand are linear, like cherry blacks (bigger with the gaming crowd).</p>

I've been interested in mechanical keys -- the story seems compelling.<br>
I've tried Cherry MX Brown keys in a store (not a fair test) and was<br>
not really impressed.<br>
<br>
I have seen mechanical keyboards with no engraved symbols. Would that<br>
do the job for you? I learned to type on a mechanical typewriter with<br>
no engraved keys.<br>
<br>
These people let you configure an expensive keyboard with Colemak<br>

They do seem to emphasize WASD (or ESDF).<br>

There might well be lots of other sources -- I didn't look.<br>
