Nothing particularly surprising there desu senpai
what do Green Cherry MX switches do? its not in the guide
Someone left a Corsair Vengeance K95 keyboard and Corsair Raptor M45 mouse at the desk of a former employee whose desk hasn't been occupied for months. Decided to swap it with my shitty Adesso wireless keyboard+mouse combo that my workstation came with so I can take it home. LEDs still work and all but I heard how easily Corsair keyboard LEDs die so should I just leave them off? Not sure how long this has been laying around.

It's not like it's an important key or anything.
>>51282952
for data entry, you disgusting neet
>>51282911
Greens are like blues, but with a higher actuation force; much like clears compared to browns.
>>51282971
Do you use both sets at the same time?
>such data entry skills
>>51282971
not everyone does that, you stupid nigger
>>51282948
That is some funny shit desu anon not gonna lie
>>51282893
CLICKY LINEARS WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!
>>51282967
spacebar is the most important key, followed by shift, followed by control
>>51283017
I wish I was joking
Brown switch here.
Objectively the best switch for typers, minus the obnoxious noise of blue.
>>51283098
No, that would be Topre, silly anon.
>>51282923
No idea, and disgustingly, it seems to be completely acceptable here.

This desu
ordered this yesterday with Matias Quiet Click switches
>>51282595
Beautiful
Can someone recommend me a full size keyboard with brown switches that is under £400
>>51283478
You don't need a special mechanical keyboard for your video games.
>>51283508
Why, I'm new here btw
>>51283541
£400 is overkill nigga. Also, are you sure that you want browns?
Is it possible to get replacement keys for the FC660M? I've looked everywhere and got shit. The keycaps are a slightly different mold than usual.
>>51283553
Yeah isn't it good for double tapping? I play games such as osu where you have insanley fast keyboard tapping
>>51283541
Because they're just video games. You will be just fine with your current keyboard. If you're worried about quickly tapping keys, you might look into a chiclet keyboard. Expensive tactile desk fedoras are for people who type an excessive amount, or who have wrist/finger injuries.
>>51283585
I'd think you'd want linears for double tapping type stuff
>>51283585
Called it. You want the Amazon Basics wired keyboard; you'll have faster actuations than any mech let alone one with tactile switches like the Browns
Where do i get iso tenkeyless in Yurop?
Accented keys are a bonus but i can 3d print those it there are not available.
>>51283580
Typically, it's gonna be hard as fuck to find a right shift. However, you can rectify the issue with the spacebar by transferring and slightly shifting the stems with a file and epoxy.
>>51283608
Really? Can you link me to one, I want one the is full sized btw
>>51283620
It's on fucking Amazon.
>>51283629
Just a question, what are mechanical keyboard good for compared to basic keyboards?
>>51283620
I just told you the one to buy. A chiclet/scissor switch only has ~1mm of travel before actuation and returns faster than any cherry or clone. You might be able to get close with a linear switch, if you opened it up and put a spacer under the stem to raise the point it bottoms out at, but at that point you've made a switch that feels like a chiclet but is larger and more expensive.
>>51283620
hes saying you dont want a mechanical keyboard because the switches actuate somewhere in the middle vs near the bottom like rubber domes (like the Amazon keyboard)
rubber dome/chicklet double tap: bottom out actuation > release slightly > very quickly press down again
mechanical double tap: press halfway and it actuates, release to the top, press again quickly
Can someone link me to the dome keyboards?
Daily reminder that Ducky Shine 4 with blue switches is the best keyboard of all time.
>>51283647
Lots of typing. The "GAMING MECHANICAL" came around because as mechanical keyboards became popular, people began deriding the "1337 proskill Gamer" keyboards as cheap trash, which they were, based on their rubber dome mechanism. As such, manufacturers started making mechanical gaming keyboards and here we are today
>>51283661
Accidentally said the amazon basics kb was rubber dome.. disregard that part
>>51283647
It's subjective. Certain switches provide different levels of feedback when typing or and have different points of actuation. Different heights until you bottom out, etc.
are there any all-pink mech keyboards in the market atm
i want a pink keyboard...
>>51282948
Get memed
>>51283585
I use red switches for osu, make things like streaming and triples alot easier, i wish id gotten browns but reds r probably ur best bet
>>51283855
Yeah that what I was thinking, can you recommend me some keyboard for Cherry MX Red swtiches?
>>51283855
>>51283886
You guys are huge retards, fyi
>>51283898
ok ok, tell me what should I get then?
>>51283886
I got the corsair rgb k70 vengeance but its kinda expensive (got it for 200$ a couple months ago) whats your price range, or around what do you want to be spending bcuz you can get some quality mechanical keyboards for alot less, especially if you dont care about lights and shit
>>51283927
Don't care about lights, but I want a full sized one, I have a £400 budget
Thoughts on Clears? I fucking love my es-87.
who /ALWAYSBOTTOMSOUT/ here?!
CLICC DAT MAFUGGIN LIEK BUTTAN
>>51283914
You should buy the AmazonBasics USB Keyboard for Twelve American Dollars. You should never spend £400 on a fucking keyboard UNLESS it is absolutely necessary for you to earn an income despite your cripping injuries (see: Maltron, uTRON). What are you thinking? £400? What the fuck?
>>51283962
Just search around on amazon for what looks good to you, cm storm, corsair, anything that isnt razor and isnt some obscure shit youve never heard of, ill try to look and recommend one when im home but if youre willing to spend the money then id recommend the k70 vengance
>>51284017
I smash my blues right down every time. It's because I typed for years on a ms ergo 4k which was incredibly stiff; I slam my thumb into the spacebar so hard my desk shakes a little. It's probably a major contributing factor to my growing wrist pain and I'm trying to fix it.
>>51283689
That's not how you write clears anon.
looking to get my first mk soon, was thinking about getting the ducky mini with blue switches. going to be used for a mix of gaming and general typing/coding. any suggestions?
What is your opinion about pic related (Ozone strike battle). I know, hurr durr gamer food, but consider that I'm living in shitty eastern europe country and so far this is the only keyboard with 60%ish size, backlight and price under 85$
So, any opinions? I'd probably go for browns btw
>>51285120
germanfag here
got 2 battle strike
one for work and one at home
both with blues
i love it
Just finished converting this old Portable Model F to USB. I have a 122-key Model M in waiting for its conversion but I still have all the cleaning to do yet, and permamounting the new controller somewhere that makes sense.
Kind of a shame about the IBM portable computer. Couldn't get it to run as it had taken a hit from some lightning. The keyboard was all that was salvagable.
Apparently there's a sale on Aliexpress today. Had a look for mech-keyboard deals but didn't see anything good - looking at the site just gives me a headache. Anyone else spot any deals?
>>51283966
Too stiff.
You should dessolder those and make ergoclears.
>>51283580
Leopold's website sells them, if you can get them to ship from korea and speak korean, but otherwise there's the dude on ebay that apparently is willing to buy them for you and resell if you email him. I'm pretty sure it was widebasket?
>>51285120
edgy!
>>51282801
greens are stiffer blues
clears are stiffer browns
black are stiffer reds
so unless your a boipussi
you should use greens,clears,blacks
Hey guys, looking for a model like the IBM model M...I don't want something ricey, flashy, or anything that lights up or makes me look like a fucking 13 year old. is the IBM model M the only standard looking, basic mech. keyboard?
>>51287579
How's this for you, bro?
https://www.pckeyboard.com/
>>51287592
>https://www.pckeyboard.com/
Wow, thanks anon,...I seriously thought I was going to get shit. Thanks! I may nab one of these this week... any rec's?
>>51287620
They should all have the same switch, buckling spring, so they'll all feel pretty much the same. Color is up to you, as is whether you want a clitmouse. PS2 is most likely to have full NKRO if that matters to you, so keep that in mind.
>>51283716
Ducky had colored cases before but they're pretty expensive. Pink keycaps by themselves should be pretty common
>>51287673
Sweet! I just bought this one...can't wait..
http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UB40P4A
>>51287809
Awesome! I hope you get years of enjoyment out of it!
>>51287809

the long wait begins...
>>51282897
>wireless
my nigga
>>51287930
takes a while to get it? It's okay, it's no rush. Thanks again anons. I'm excited. One question, how thick is the board? I hope it's not too thin. I want something chunky
>>51287998
>takes a while to get it?
Massdrop is known for taking up to a year to actually ship drops.
Oh, and censorship.
>>51287998
>>51288017
>only 82 sets sold
>its fucking nothing
>not a single one of the child sets made moq (10 units)
>the num pad set has so few buyers it is $40!
I mean, I know it is an ugly set, but the censorship bit them in the ass.
>>51282967
>It's not like it's an important key or anything.
It's a very important key.
Which is why it's fucking retarded to put it further away which is exactly what ISO does.
>>51288041
Wew lad my gateron yellows from assdrop are apparently shipping on the 30th
If not for the value in 120 switches I'd have just gotten them off taobao
Anyway, anyone here has a NPKC switch tester/numpad? I'm thinking of getting one to be a macropad for photoshop etc.
>>51287809
>>51287930
>>51287998
Excellent keyboard. Got mine about two weeks ago from Unicomp. They shipped it fast and UPS was great got to Tallahassee in about 2 days really.
The board is of substantial weight and heft. What about five pounds? Not obnoxiously large. It looks good in a retro/classic sort of way. To compare to my roseweill rk9000 it is noticeably larger.
I like it a lot. But! Wow, its loud. I have to turn the volume up on my computer when I type on this at full speed cuase it is loud. I type hard, but it is noticeably louder than MX Greens.
Keycaps feel pretty good. Nice and thick but not as nicely textured as some PBTs youd find.
>>51287947
>wireless
why
>>51285493
can't really see anything good, unless you want a varmilo for slightly cheaper
>>51284807
gaming on blues is arse
>>51284807
browns or clears
or topre if you're a big boy
I can't decide between reds and blues. I had browns once before but I fucked it up. I loved the tactile feel, and I liked how quiet they were, but I recently got to mess with some blues and they blew my mind. I'm looking for a Ducky Zero, but everywhere I've looked they're sold out. Are they discontinued or is it just the holidays? Anyway, I was thinking of a CM Storm Quickfire XT. Does cooler master make good boards?
Any opinions on cherry ml switches?
>>51288562
>I'm looking for a Ducky Zero, but everywhere I've looked they're sold out. Are they discontinued or is it just the holidays?
I think they're positioning the One in place of the Zero.
>Does cooler master make good boards?
They''re decent. Some are better than others.
>>51288262
I got the Yellows too. I'm still not sure that the $7 I saved versus the pack on Amazon with 2-day shipping is worth waiting so long.
>>51288262
>Anyway, anyone here has a NPKC switch tester/numpad?
I do, yes.
>>51288590
Ducky One is a bit more than I want to pay, and LEDs are are a bit too...flashy for my taste. I may just have to go with the Cooler Master if mechanical keyboards.com doesn't refresh their supply of them by the 18th, when I plan to get one.
>>51288685
>LEDs are are a bit too...flashy for my taste
Turn them off.

>>51288674
Is it programmed to use the numpad keys or the row 5 number keys?
>>51288763
Numpad scancodes. Uses a proper numlock, too.
>>51288524
That is weird.
Because gaming on greens is fantastic.
>>51288807
I ordered the Varmillo one from massdrop.
Not only is it taking two months to ship, it seems it is disgusting number row codes.
How did I do

lmao, eventually ill buy a nice complete set. As of now im using 4ctrls because I switch from macOS to windows, and I don't like the windows keys.
Also whats preferred to abs?
to make it more puke worthy, the caps are thin as fuck from aliexpress.
>>51282866
It was free, who cares if the LEDs burn out? As long as you aren't lying to yourself to justify your wasted 100$
>>51289349

why arent there any good mx green boards REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>51290102

>>51290174

You like?
I like to have the lights turned off when I'm using my laptop at night.
But then I can't see the keyboard
What do?
>>51290213
Learn to touch type.
>>51290152
Clears are shit. Zealio is objectively the best switch ever made.
Only faggots without soldering skills and poorfags wont acknowledge that.
>>51290225
lol
>>51290225
I would be using them if not for the fact that I had already done ergoclears the hard way before they came out.
>>51283296
looks good anon, have fun with it
>>51289979
You have to make one. Pic related.
>>51290125
But buckling spring is cheaper?
>>51284807
As good as the lighting is on the Mini it has a massive bezel compared to other 60% keyboards which makes it look atrocious.
On top of that you'll probably end up wanting your numpad or function keys back
>>51290221
I'm not sure if this is a serious reply but the issue is finding the f keys, finding the number keys, typing with one hand, shit like that.
Doesn't sound that bad but these things add up and make things troublesome
My old amazonbasics keyboard had finally had enough and I had to replace it. After seeing some jewtube videos featuring RGB keyboards, I decided to be spendthrift for once and purchased this RGB memeboard. Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum with Kailh Brown switches. Typing on this keyboard is very nice, I had forgotten how mechboards felt while typing, and it's very refreshing.
I bought the cheapest RGB mech keyboard I could find. Paid $96 shipped for this board off newegg. Did I do good?
I have arthritis, what switches should I use?
>>51290305
>$96 for a keyboard with shitty chink knockoff switches
All because you just had to have gaymur rice backlighting?
>>51290225
Best switch if you are into light springed linear switches.
Still not as good as greens.
>>51290305
$96 for a Kailh board is kinda high.
>>51290322
Yeah, I wanted to 'treat myself' by being a shithead consumer.
Honestly though, as someone who doesn't know quality, I do appreciate the feel of typing this keyboard provides very much. The lighting options are neat. Certainly not something altogether practical given the price, but it's nice.
Who /pok3r/ here ?
Just receveid mine today. My pinky toe hurt from the arrows
>>51288564
They're kinda clunky for my tastes but better then most rubberdome.
>>51290299
All of that comes with learning to touch type.
>>51284030
kek anon pls,
it's a pleasant experience to write on quality keyboards. you don't have to be anything to want a good keyboard. you don't have to "need" it too.
>>51283886
I put gateron clears on my zx and I'm really regretting not just doing the whole keyboard While I had it in pieces. I did gateron blacks for the rest.
>>51290363
as much as i love the looks of 60% keyboards, I really don't like having to use the function key for fucking everything
68% 75% & tenkeyless are god tier
>>51287154
Clears have a larger bump in the stem its not just the weight of the spring.
>>51290544
I actually prefer fn + backspace for delete and a lot of others, but to each their own
>>51290544
In my country I have very limited access to mechanical keyboards, and this was the only one with brown switches and small enough for a nomad use... I would have liked a 68%
>>51290479
I'm typing this on a mechanical keyboard. I would never spend four hundred UK pounds on one, and stand by my statement that you absolutely shouldn't buy one if your application is "gaming"
>>51290332
>linear
It shares the same stems as cherry clears, the biggest tactile bump cherry ever made.
Btw, the more stiff the spring is, less the tactile bump shows. Blues are more tactile than greens. If you put 100g springs on blues, you wont even feel any bump.
>>51290363
>that stupid fucking font
>>51290610
It's really bad, but it's not like most people are going to stick with the default keycaps. I'm thinking of getting one just to put a sculpted SA set on it
>>51290457
was expecting this reply
no it doesn't
I'd explain why you're wrong but you're giving me the vibe that you'd continue arguing anyway, so I'm outtie
>>51290119
What numpad is that? Does it output numpad scan codes?
>>51290654
Do you know what a homing key is and what purpose it serves
>>51288111
why would you buy only hiragana keycaps?
they should've done something more classic and if they want to go with japanese/otaku themed keycaps.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/KB_Japanese_Mac_-_Apple_Keyboard_(MB869JA).svg/2000px-KB_Japanese_Mac_-_Apple_Keyboard_(MB869JA).svg.png

>>51290579
people spend money on beats headphones too.
I mean it's just your opinion, let it be.
>>51290791
>why would you buy only hiragana keycaps?
Yea, I don't get it either. They look really bad, especially since no one ever really uses them. Many JIS keyboards don't even have them anymore.
I am super weaboo and they don't even appeal to me. Though I have to admit that the numpad set was kinda cool though.
>>51290202

>own a JIS kyeboard

This sucks.
>reds or blacks
Into the trash.
>MX Clears
Too stiff.
>MX Browns
Tactile bump too soft.
>Gateron Browns
Perfect tactile bump.
>MX Blues
Great.
>MX Blues with o-rings
Literally perfection.
>Gateron Blues
Nice stiffness but click and springback clunk too loud. O-rings doesn't really dampen clack and the clunk persists. Especially notable on spacebars.
Everyone told me Gateron Blues is like MX Blues but better, but why don't o-rings dampen the clack? I tried using two o-rings and it's perfect but keypresses don't register. I thought the click is actuation point? I hear the click but my keypresses don't register, as if click is 2mm and actuation is like 2.2mm, it's real weird.
Is topre not considered mechanical?
>>51290654
>unable to hold a conversation with someone who may not have the same opinion as you
Social anxiety must be a bitch and a half...
>>51291095
Your best best is to look for a non-sculpted set that comes with extra modifiers and an ISO kit. You should be able to get enough stuff to make a whole JIS keyboard's worth.
>>51291157
That covers the bottom row, but nothing has the changed symbols and number key symbols.
Good full-size keyboard around $170? Preferably without backlights, that shit is tacky as fuck
>>51291105
How do you not live for and love the clack
>>51291298

>>51290544

Does anyone make keycap sets for KBT race II yet?
Also, is it possible to swap out the internals of browns and replace them with clears?
The Varmilo VB660M is dead right? What do we know about this 68-key teaser?
browns or reds
>>51290225
>I never typed on Matias QC
>>51292106
Reds
>>51291628
You should be able to replace the spring and stem
>>51290225
Are the actuation and reset points at the same place? Are they more like greens or clears?
Is anyone interested in a near-mint, just cleaned Northgate OmniKey Ultra (101, no Windows key)?

Anyone have some kind of experience similar to this?
Did I accidentally become a Topre elitist?
Do I need to try Red/Clear/Black?
>>51293325
I was the opposite, went from Topre to mx and haven't looked back
>>51293353
I like browns, but I also like Topre, so I think I'll like Clears. We'll see, my cousin has a swag of Pok3rs on order so I'll get to try all of them except for Green.
I want a keyboard that's English/Russian
Where would I get it?
Any good mech keyboard with preferably green backlight for a cheap price?
t. Rubberdome man
>>51291018
slider over dome maybe
>>51293838
buy one with white leds, put green covers on them
>>51293853
Isnt that a shitload of work?
>>51293881
like 10 minutes?
>>51293888
Oh.
Thanks for the advice.
Any 100% white led keyboard then?
>>51294014
If you can't find ones you like that are already green. yeah as long as it's cherry switches not sure if you can buy led covers for other switches
>>51294032
I never used or bought a mech. Keyboard.
Anything I should pay attention about?
I want to be part of the master race
>>51290596
There is both a lonear and tactile version of the Zealios, so he isn't exactly wrong.
I also prefer the heavy resistance of greens.
I'd like to try ergoclears, but just haven't had a chance.
>>51292349
>matias
Pleb, please. If you like dampened alps, at least try a SKCM complicated one. I do have an AEK II and a Silicon Graphics boards, both with white/cream dampened variants. Matias feels like shit compared to the original ones.
Yet, I still preffer Zealios. Alps lower than cherry travel distance fucks the switch feel.

I've been waiting to get my hands on a used V80MTS with clicky to see if they can compare at all to blue ALPS, white complicated, monterey blues or even type 1s. I tried the quiet tactile version with a friends V60 but 60%s without solid cases feel like dookie and I wasnt a big fan of the switches I thought they had an odd feel in the middle of the switch. I was hoping the clicky ones would feel a little more 'full' than the quiet click. If not i'll put orange ALPS in it.

>>51295510
I doubt it.
But hey, it's the internet, you're allowed to be a turd.
>>51296286
pretty sure it's a KMAC + GMK Red Alert caps.
assuming you can find a seller, the board itself without switches would be anywhere from $400-800, and the keyset would be $150~

Right /mkg/ I'm in the market for a mechanical keyboard.

Seems impossible to find one right now desu. Best option is to swap out the switches yourself

My mx green is better.
>>51293325
Brown is mushier.
I also experienced that after getting used to my green.

Filco.

How the fuck did you spend $150?
They're $80 new.
>>51298155
I said model m, not your shitty unicomp clone.
>>51298168
Original model Ms are even cheaper.
>>51298173
Maybe if you lived in the 90s.
>>51298168
even then, you can still get them cheaper. you wasted money fucking retard.

I have a couple years old Das Keyboard with blue switches that is holding up pretty well, no complaints.
Is there any reason for me to upgrade besides aestethics?
What switches feel the most like arcade buttons?

What's the most ergonomic switch, if it's even a thing? I have a cubital tunnel yo.
Considering red or brown 70%.
>>51298749

>>51298749
Ergo-clears. If you cant solder, then brows, preferably gateron browns.
>>51299707
>not bottoming out meme
>recommending ergo clears
stop posting, you dont even know what a zealio is. and how can you recommend browns when you cant avoid bottoming out on them
>>51299771
>cant avoid bottoming out on them
I dont. Nor do I on ergo-clears.
On topres on the other hand, the colapse mechanism turns just impossible to not to. Its not about the force of the switch, you can not bottom out even on reds. Its about the force needed to go through the tactile bump.
>>51299998
>I dont
so you type like a snail then
theres nothing wrong with bottoming out and topre is objectively the most ergonomic switch
Why don't you have the best keyboard in the world, /g/?
