I want to try a Poker but for now my Model M is what I use
Has anyone here made a custom keyboard with a Teensy? How would one go about adding LED backlighting to it? I'd like to add RGB lighting to the case of the keyboard as well as within each switch (if possible, if not, then just regular lighting within the switch)
I want a thick, heavy aluminum cased full-size keyboard with standard ANSI layout. Preferably with green switches.
Don't give a shit about backlit, and would vastly prefer an unlit keyboard. I don't care about the keycaps since I like buying my own blank thick pbt keycaps.
What can I get?
>>51605658
The reason to get a teensy is the TMK firmware or one of its forks. In this firmware there will be some basic backlighting options, but no RGB support. In fact, there exist no custom keyboards/firmware with in-switch RGB LED controls.
>>51605690
There are full, aftermarket Al cases for some TKLs (Filcos come to mind) and a lot of options for 60% boards.
A lot of the higher-end customs also come with Al cases, so check the IC and GB pages on GH.
Copped a Rapoo KX for 15usd yesterday.
Is it decent? I'm not even sure it's using proper Kailh switches to be honest but I've been meaning to buy a wireless secondary for some time now.
>>51606192
>proper Kailh
>>51605613
i can't find a mechanical keyboard that fits my specs for shit
i'm looking for a TKL or 70-75% keyboard with browns and a white and/or off-white color scheme
suggestions? HHKB and pok3r are a bit small for my tastes
>>51606324
You haven't been searching pretty hard.
>>51606324
i can find lots of examples, but none in stock
I'm just coming off a crappy laptop, and I've found that I've become extremely used to insanely short travel time on keyboards. Is there anything mechanical that matches this? Should I get cherry reds with large o-rings? A short key travel is the primary thing i'm concerned with.
>>51606464
You don't want Cherry MX or its clones, period. You could look at ML switches, but you're probably best off sticking with scissor switches.
>>51606464
Either try to get used to farther travel distance (it's not hard, it took me like a day) or stick with chiclet keys
>>51606324
I think this is what you're looking for. Filco had a beige tenkeyless a while back. Good luck finding one nowadays though. With that said, you can probably find one on Geekhack.
>>51605613
>that pic
Spotted an imposter.
>>51606496
scissor switches might actually be up my alley. Pastebin doesn't recommend any scissor keyboards. Any advice there?
>>51606513
typing i'm not finding an issue, But I play World of Warcraft, which is 90% muscle memory, and I've been gaming on a chiclet keyboard for 2 years. The long travel distance is messing me up.
>>51606721
>Any advice there?
Whatever laptop you're using.
>>51606762
Let me clarify - I moved from a crappy cheap laptop to a gaming desktop. I have an old rubber dome keyboard to use for the desktop for now, and I'm thinking of upgrading.
>>51606721
I play csgo, and played on a chiclet keyboard for over a year, still got used to my new keyboard (WASD Code with clears) very quickly. Just give yourself a few days, trust me
>>51606229
I-I don't know if it's even Kailh who makes the switches I mean.
>>51606900
Are you suggesting that they would lie about using chinese knockoffs? Why, because they're using mole people knockoffs?
>>51605613
are model m as stiff as greens?
>>51606835
How's CS:GO with clears? I'm currently using blues and waiting for my WASD clears to arrive. Originally, I planned on using the latter at work, but I'm wondering whether stutterstepping with clears is easier.
>>51607200
having used both, I'd say stutterstepping with blues is probably a bit easier, but you'll be fine with clears. I play cs with clears all the time, no problems, feels fine
is the mem3r the best 60% i can get right now for the price?
>>51607262
Is it not tiring? Or I'm guessing you have to learn not to bottom out while holding down a key?
Still a classic
>>51607312
honestly not sure if I bottom out or not while playing, I don't really pay attention, but no it's not tiring
>>51607356
Cool, thanks. If there's no improvement over blues, I'll just stick to blues for gaymen.
Do I have to repeatedly press the key in a mech to get repeated characters? Or do I just hold it down and it'll work?
>>51607412
Is this a real question?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Guess how many times I pressed the a key
>>51607393
No problem! I think I slightly prefer the feel of blues, but they're so fucking loud, and I can't deal with that.
>>51607412
That's a software thing. But generally the latter.
>>51607432
>That's a software thing
>tripfags are actually retarded
>>51607425
25 times?
>>51607480
>>51607432
I'd heard that in mechs the switch activates only once, when the key is pressed. To do it again you need to release it and then press.
Is that right?
>>51607576
>Is that right?
No you fucking retard. A switch is a switch, it switches something on and off. When you press it it's on and turns off when you release it, regardless of the type of switch.
>>51607589
What i'm asking is, is it activated the whole time it is pressed? Or does it activate only once when it is pressed?
that is, does it send a signal once, or repeatedly?
>>51607667
How do you cope in day to day life being this fucking retarded?
>>51607667
It sends a signal once, and if you hold it down, it sends the same signal repeatedly. On the firmware/software side you can change the rate of repeats and the required time needed to hold it down in order for it to begin repeating, but be aware that this is keyboard dependent. There are some keyboards that will let you do this, and some keyboards that will not let you do this.
>>51607687
This is what I was expecting.
thanks.
>>51607713
No problem. Good luck with your search.
so what keys have you guys recently joined/receieved/are waiting for?
still waiting for ivans pbt round 4 and i just joined the newest fallout cap set.
>>51607731
O Rings
NPKC puller
Pexon Cable
60% Case
>>51607889
is that puller the one with the metal handle?
i saw a gb on md and some people said it was shit and came apart
>>51607071
Stiffer.
What keycaps should I get for my Compact SQ?
I wanted Deep Space, but it seems pmk is sold out of all but the most basic set.
>>51607897
>shit
I dunno about that.
I bought the most recent metal one.
Looked different than sample picture but it.is FANTASTIC!
Blows my Filco one out of the water.
Besides, the massdrop comments are full of retards. It is better to ignore them and do your own research.
>>51608921
true but they do come through sometimes
i was in on the novatouch buy but then someone posted that the board was $20 cheaper on cms own store
cancelled my buy after that
where can a fag like me find some Japanese key caps for my Corsair K95?
>>51608971
hope someone from the round 4 pbt wants to sell their keys after they get them
but dont count on it. these shits look awesome and id never part with them when then get here in another year.
maybe never if ivan died
![TuOR4ZX[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/KyR9YDT.jpg "TuOR4ZX[1].jpg")
Quite happy with both.
Can I just go ahead and slap DSAs on any given MX keyboard? My Cooler Master is too ugly and too high-profile.
>>51608971
You don't.
First, not even japanese use direct kana input, the use microsoft ime. A lot of modern Japanese boards don't even print the kana anymore.
Second. the only readily available sets are ugly as shit.
Third, the JIS layout is different from ansi or iso. Even if you get keys from a doner japanese board they wont match up.
Should I get the Razer Black Widow or the Logitech g910 ? Or are they both shit?
I have cash now and I never bought a keyboard by myself.
I already read the Buyers Guide, but that doesnt really help, just shows some keyboards.
I want to pay something about 100€ for a full mechanical keyboard OR one without the tenkeys on the right.
Im really new to mechanical keyboard, but I really like the ones that click and where you know when you actually press the button. I hate the ones that have something like a silencer that makes it feel like pressing balls.
Please help me /g/entoo-men, even if you dont have to

I just bought pic related with mx blues, I really like it, it doesn't have an ugly ass led color (rainbow pink shit) and the macro keys are really nice for gaymen.
>>51609655
holy moly, arent the mx blue super loud? i watched a video and i think the brown switches are the best avaiable

>>51609946
>i watched a video and i think the brown switches are the best avaiable
>>51609655
Thats a very sleek and simple keyboard, not too extreme. Good choice.
Got this CM storm quickfire with Blues today for 60 dollars. Did I do alright?
>>51609946
yeah there are loud but I like it, it reminds me of the keyboard that came with the IBM PS/2
>>51609946
how can someone even use red or black switches
they sound and feel so terrible, its like typing on a waterbaloon
>>51610021
Yes. I'm glad you chose blues instead of babby's first switches.
In murrica, the classical mech board is the IBM model M.
What board is common and can be bought for cheap in glorious japan?
qpad mk-50 pro brown switches for 70€
is this a decent entry level keyboard?
>>51605613
Alright /g/, I fucking jumped straight in and bought a refurbed Corsair K70 with blue switches for $80.
I know never to buy refurbed harddrives or mobos, but how badly did I fuck up?
Here's the link if anyone else wants in: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/corsair-gaming-k70-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-cherry-mx-blue-na-refurbished
The CM Storm QuickFire XT (Nordic) with brown switches I bought yesterday shipped 20 minutes ago.
This is my first mechanical keyboard.
Pic related, it's me right now.
i found an old mechanical keyboard, with what i would best guess is using white alps switches.
the keyboard itself and everything works fine after i cut the at cord and replaced it with a ps/2 cable, but the switches feel really really different from key to key. very hard to press. would my best chance to fix it just to open every switch individually and clean it out + lube?
>>51611208
Corsair are very focused on the gamer market but they still make solid stuff with genuine Cherry switches. Refurb should be alright since it's not really a sensitive piece of hardware.
Don't expect to be able to get aftermarket stuff like fancy keycaps for it and you should be fine. Not everyone wants to go that deep anyway.
>>51611329
Good choice for a first mech. A lot of people start with browns and you can always get something different later if your tastes change.
>>51611396
>Good choice for a first mech
Good to know.
Took some time to find an keyboard with good reviews that didn't look like a GAYMER keyboard AND has a nordic layout.
>>51611396
The sad thing is that most people who start out with browns never try out other switches and don't even know what they're missing out on.
>>51610117
>how can someone even use red or black switches
>its like typing on a waterbaloon
Probably because it's not like typing on anything rubber at all. It's a goddamned spring. You do know what springs feel like, right?
>>51611501
I wanted tactile but not CLICKETYCLACK, so I went with brown. I'll try others out when I have the opportunity.
>>51608905

I would order someplace else but I have gift card moonees there
Is there somthing wrong with they cheap keycaps on ebay? A set of keycaps where I live cost almost as much as the keyboard itself.
>>51611931
You get what you pay for

Some of those can be a really terrible typing experience.

I'm a mechanical keyboard virgin, there are some good prices on mechanical keyboards today (cyber monday) and I was just wondering if you guys could help me out with switch selection a bit. I'd be using the keyboard for both gaming and typing. Typically, when typing, I go with a "hard and fast" approach and will bottom out the keys with considerable force each keystroke. I'd prefer one of the "quieter" options as it's pretty loud when I type on even chiclet and rubber dome keyboards.
>>51613133
Did you design the PCB? Did you write the firmware? Kinda curious about your process.
>>51605613
Pastebin outdated no varmilo or taobao
We need a taobao guide
>>51613639
>quiet
Blue, green and bucking spring are out (loud switches).
>hard and fast
Red and brown are out (light weight switches).
This leaves...
Clear - Has a bump you can feel when it activates. It's the heavy version of a brown meaning it will be snappier and resist your heavy clacking better. A good compromise between typing and gaming. I'd pick this for you.
Black - No feedback at all (just smooth). Usually marketed as a "gaming" switch since you can "ride" the activation point to trigger it multiple times. Most people would not like these for typing, though.
Topre 55g - The superior tactile switch, but probably way out of your budget. /g/ would also make fun of you since it's a mech/rubber dome hybrid.
>>51605613
I bought a k70 RGB from corsair for 129.99. So basically I got the RGB leds for free. It also says its limited edition but when I look at the picture it doesn't look any different? Also its not going to take 4 weeks for this thing to ship is it?
>>51613921
Awesome, thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into the clears and blacks a little more.
>>51611501
I'm starting off with browns. I haven't tried them yet but my friend has blue switches in his keyboard. Man are those switches loud and annoying as fuck. I hear them through his headset and I'll never try blues or greens because of this.
how much would it cost something like in op pic but with the key symbols?
>>51612770
Can't wait.
>>51613960
>Corsair
>limited edition
>doesn't look any different
It sounds like you're on to something there, buddy.
>>51614221
Well I'm wondering why they said limited edition in the first place. Unless they meant it in the literal sense, that there are limited quantities available? /g/ pls
>>51614127
For the keycaps:
http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-stock-sublimated-keycap-sets/
These are the same kind of PBT keys but with dye sub legends.
$75 without numpad and different color WASD keys.
$22 to add a numpad.
WASD keys with legends aren't sold separarely.
Is your wallet hurting yet?
>>51614247
Because people like you will buy it when you can't even see a difference.
>>51614253
nah, i wanted to take something for christmas so it's ok, but i don't have time to deal with this shit or assembling, and i am in europe so the mailing etc might represent other problems
for that kind of money i want stuff that's ready to go
>>51614353
Well I bought it because as I said before, I got the RGB for "free." You know you can just take the traditional route and just call it ricer trash.

I am considering the same, but the stealth variety with the letters printed on the front instead of the top of the keys. Am I a faggot for falling for that meme? I like the minimal look, and I don't need to look at my keys anymore anyway
>>51614401
That actually was going to be my first choice of mechanical keyboard. Good luck finding the corsair stealth though that isn't used or overpriced. For some reason CM hasn't restocked it.
>>51614395
I'm trying to avoid insulting the product because it probably works and you'll probably enjoy it.
But Corsair is top dawg of component marketing, and that's a good example of it.
>>51614401
Front printed legends are perfect. They get out of the way and can't really wear out since you don't touch them.
The only time I might look at legends is when I have to type with one hand or in a weird position. Front printed legends are still there for you then.
>>51614531
Oh I see. Thanks I didn't know that about corsair. That's pretty smart of them.
>>51614401
I was considering this, but seeing as this is my first mechanical keyboard, I didn't want anything too new and extreme.
>>51612956
Thanks for the reply, I'm reading a lot of negative reviews about it, so the search continues

Also, how do you like that mousepad?
How's it compare to other mousepads?
>>51615351
Maybe get a full keyboard, decap the numpad and fix the pi in there? May need some extra plastic moulding, but that kinda project would need some handiwork anyhow
>>51615428
>there could be a difference in how fast the switches are or something like that
Not really, unless you're willing to spend 200 something bucks on a cherry mx board 6.0 with realkey technology.
Though I somewhat doubt that this makes a difference to you performance. I play FPS and I have yet to experience any problems with delay in my keyboard input.
>>51615633
>cherry mx board 6.0 with realkey technology
Yeah, that's just marketing. The latency difference isn't anything that they make it out to be.
Is there any way to get a WASD v2 in Europe without paying out of my ass? I can't do 50 bucks for shipping. Or I could, but I refuse to. And that's even before any possible toll fees.
Still, it's so simplistic, neat and perfect...
Any alternatives? Full-sized, no fancy gimmicks, MX browns?
WHITE CASE OR BLACK CASE
>>51615633
Okay, got that. So which switches should i go for if i don't want them to be too loud?
ergodox ez, thoughts?

Protip: Clears are the best.

I can only tell you it's way better than the Steelseries qck. I shouldnt have cheaped out and get the Hayate instead. Got it for 20 bucks or so on Amazon so cant complain.
>>51615563
I didnt go fot the black ones because I was after that white and black look.
>>51615860
I'm in the same boat, just looking for a tenkeyless.
The only decent board available here is the Quickfire Rapid-I, but I'm not a big fan of the leds that are supposed to die really quickly. I'd rather not have any leds at all.
>>51605613
what TKL keyboards have a floating key design and blue switches?
>>51609655
You better be fucking trolling anon.
>>51617191
Same. LEDs can look neat, but I probably wouldn't even use them at all. Still, if I wanted to turn them on and one of them had died I'd be really annoyed. So, rather no LEDs at all.
That has apparently become a rarity or really expensive though...

do DSA caps feel nice to type on
or are they only for appearance???
Picked up a logitech G710 for 50 bucks plus a 2 year replacement plan from best buy
Loving the blues on this but the con is the full plastic body. Would have been better with aluminum keys but for 50 dollars I can't complain.
>>51618736
Personally I think they feel a bit weird. The spherical top and slanted sides really decrease the strike area.
They also aren't profiled so the entire keyboard ends up being much flatter which is odd but tolerable.
They aren't even that thick since they were designed to save on material cost.
I took mine off after two weeks.
SA caps fix all of this.
>>51619597
Also the keyboard is fairly bulky, had unnecessary side buttons which can be customized but for someone accustomed to a WASD keyboard are merely gimmicks. Quite a few gimmick buttons but I do like the volume control wheel. Overall a solid 7.5 to 8/10. I wouldn't buy it for the standard price of 130 though.
>>51610952
I am also interested in /mkg/s opinion on this

The RK9000 is made by Costar, so it's very well-built. The CM Quickfire XT is the same and five dollars less, though the font on the caps is fucking awful. Assuming you're going to get an aftermarket set though, that doesn't matter.

>>51620781
Not him but I was thinking of getting that CM keyboard. The only thing I didn't like was that it was not backlit. So then I moved on to the CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate. But then for that price I ended up getting a corsair instead. Plus I didn't like the fire symbol that was on it.
>>51621477
>The only thing I didn't like was that it was not backlit.
Get out.
I've never had a mechanical keyboard before, so I have a question:
With cherry MX blue switches, is it not possible to hover just above the point that the key registers for the purpose of double tapping? Would I need browns or a linear switch for that?
Also, why can't I find a keyboard that matches my specs? I just want dedicated media keys on a full size keyboard and whatever switches I end up on, either blue or brown. Nothing has dedicated media keys it seems like, and so many boards are tenkeyless or smaller cancer.
>>51621577
Well I like having the option is all. My desk has a keyboard tray and it gets dark in there. I do think minimalist keyboards are sexy like this one: >>51614401
Too bad that shit is sold out
>>51621619
>is it not possible to hover just above the point that the key registers for the purpose of double tapping?
Blues and browns have hysteresis. Reds don't.
>I just want dedicated media keys
Fag.
>tenkeyless or smaller cancer
Super fag.
>>51621628
>I do think minimalist keyboards are sexy like this one
Why couldn't you have gotten the XT and replaced the caps?
>>51621619

>>51621679
>Why couldn't you have gotten the XT and replaced the caps?
I was an uneducated fag who didn't know where to buy keycaps ;_;
>>51621714
And now, with a Corsair, you can never get a high-quality, matching set.
>>51621619
>>51621679
I have had no problem double tapping with blues.
>>51621748
It's far from challenging, it's just that the reset point is higher than the actuation point. It's a technical note that doesn't really matter to anyone except mlg pro 360 noscope types.
>>51621736
Maybe if I get really autistic about it, I can just buy another keyboard. Hell, I was thinking of building my own joystick gamepad for my PC a few months back. Pic related is from different anon.

most those mlg guys don't even use mechanical unless they are sponsored by one. Those Korean starcraft hand wizards have the shittiest looking membrane boards
>>51621926
The "mlg pro" thing is rather facetious - rather than guys who are actually good at video games, I refer to guys who are obsessive about making themselves look good at video games.
>>51610021
where at?
>all these numpads
disgusting
>>51621848
Good luck getting one.They sold out almost immediately on release
>>51621991
Wowie I thought I was considered a faggot for liking Tenkeyless keyboards.
>>51622399
numpad destroys ergonomics
>>51622430
numpads make boards sit nicely across the lap,for optimal enjoyment
I bought a ducky shine 4.
did i goofed?
>>51622084
>>51621848
Thanks but desu I think I am just gonna get a CM Quickfire XT and Zowie FK1.
Sell me on tenkeyless, /mkg/
>>51622438
I honestly can't remember the last time I used a numpad other then trying to turn off the numlock light
>>51622457
>Sell me on tenkeyless, /mkg/
It's an ergonomic advantage, as your hands don't need to be so far apart (less reaching). The numpad is duplicated across the top row. TKLs simply look nicer, as well.
>>51622457
unless you're doing accounting or data entry of some sort, you don't need it.
also, touch typing the numbers is faster in the number row once you get used to it
>>51622486
>4chan legacy captcha
>any online banking
>any data used at home documents/spreadsheets(financies/bills)
Now if you live in your mothers basement and dont have to manage a bankaccount/checkbook.Then yeah.But needing to type in a months worth of bills/expenses etc etc.A numpad is the best thing you can get.3 numbers per finger.plus the other keys
So yeah.Now if you're in your mothers basement,eating her food(or rather takeout) using your allowance on vidja each month from her banking account.Yeah you wont ever need it ever.But any adult adulting will
>>51622523
Tell that to me when youve got a month worth of data to enter and its all numbers and all you need is there right(including new line/cell)
>>51622584
>Tell that to me when youve got a month worth of data to enter
>>unless you're doing accounting or data entry
>>accounting or data entry
>>data entry
lern2read
>>51622562
maybe I just learned to type different. But I find it faster to just use the row. But if you enjoy ruining your work flow but moving your hand to the far right more power to you :^)
>>51609056
All MX caps should be compatible with any MX stem.
>>51622562
And a separate numpad is still better for that since it can be put on the left.
>>51622615
>Data entry
Bank accounts/Taxes != data entry
Some poor fuck typing literal pages of data os.
So why even get a keyboard ? why not use the mouth and a virtual keyboard?
Are you a professional typist?
Do only professional typist need keyboards?
You cant stand one logic and deny the other.
So data entry isnt common? How do you manage your banking accounts and taxes.
Even if you have it imported from your bank you still need to compile your own setup.
Unless you live with your mother.
>>51622665
data to enter != data entry?
news to me :^)
about to purchase pic related
are there better options for $90?

>>51622511
>>51622523
I guess I'm just not used to using the keys on the top row then. I'll go ahead and stay with full size because I am an autist that does data entry to keep track of personal shit for fun. Thanks though.
>>51622891
You can get an external pad, you know.
Also, usually when people say "data entry", they mean the profession.
So I'm interested in a full size mech board having never owned one previously.
I saw that the Vortex/KBT One is in the recommended list and I found one for $109AUD which seems cheap.
The only concerns I have are the lack of info about this model and some posts on geekhack saying their vortex key legends all rubbed off/case paint peeled etc.
Lots of people are talking about the Race and Poker models but not this one.
Does anyone have it?
>>51622730
I hear Razer doesn't use true cherry switches, they use some korean-off brand switches. Don't know if you care though.
>>51622562
I don't know why you advocate for larger keyboard's when you have one so small that it' difficult to hit the spacebar.
>>51608971
I wonder about that. I decided to get this meme K95 RGB version of this keyboard on Black Friday, and it cost me $100 to get the brown version. I like this way more than red switches.
Did I do OK for my pleb taste, /mkg/?
>>51622915
Point is I use the numpad a lot with excel and other programs and use my pc for more than just gay men.
>>51622915
Or just use a fucking numpad and not have to have yet another peripherals that goes sliding around or can fall etcetcetcetcetc
>>51622933
Not bad for 100 bucks. I'm guessing you got the tramp stamp version?
>>51622920
>korean
In the keyboard world, that would be a positive.
>>51622936
And my point is you can have the advantages of a TKL and a numpad at the same time.
>>51622940
>goes sliding around or can fall
I don't know what you do with your keyboards, but I generally type on mine. This doesn't make them move.
>>51622755
I don't want an 80% keyboard
>>51622984
Then get the XT.
>>51622936
use what works for you. The autismos are fighting over personal preferences.
>>51622984
Nvm I'm retarded the full is almost the same price
It's kind of ugly though
>>51622949
Yeah. It's the tramp stamp. I was thinking of getting a proper Ducky, but I can't resist the meme at that price. It's a refurb so it came in a boring old cardboard box.
>>51622927
>have top teir lazyboy recliner
>use mount on arm on nice mousepad
>keyboard in lap
>rocking siping a nice 20yr old whisky with my left hand.Oh look i have to type a captcha for this post.Move hand to numpad enter 5 numbers move back to keyboard in less then .25s,not having to disturb home row with left hand.hand naturally goes to its home row.
Why would i want a shitty gaymen keypad?
God teir numpad already in place.
>>51623040
If I owned that keyboard I think I would get some black electrical tape and just put it over the logo. Fixed.
>>51623059
Good idea. It's normally dark at my cave, but I can definitely see why the whole tramp stamp with the CORSAIR GAMING is annoying to look at now that I have it in front of me.
>>51612765
hope you like that 5.5 spacebar
nothing will ever fit there
>>51623049
does your mom refill your cheeto dish?
>>51623217
Cheetos are disgusting.And dont go with whiskey
>>51622920
They use rebranded kailh switches with somehow even less QC than regular kailh switches
>>51622755
Have it, word of warning. The case is black if you get mx browns, not the silver on the amazon page
>>51623351
That bad? I don't get the feeling that the actuation force is uneven on one of the newer Blackwidow. Can anyone elaborate a bit more on the Razer 'green'?
>>51623351
They had their one chance to upset cherry switches with kailh and they go and do this shit.

Ayy so did I, but for $70 on Newegg.
Also I bought Kingston HyperX Cloud for $60.

i mean i know the topre set is kind of lame but this shit is like double lame

I don't remember this scene. Lilly hammer or sopranos?
>>51623848
but muh animus

Is that even from an anime?

Eva is.
>>51624067
>>51624108
it's the joker
>>51623990
sopranos
>>51610952
They sell that same keyboard under a variety of names. I have the one from x armor (u9 plus?) and I guarantee it's the same.
It's fine. I have it in mx blue. No back lighting but there's a way to mod it. I bought a qfr with reds and the one with mx blues has been sitting in its box.
>>51624159
If it was the proper unit 01 colours with an appropriate font I can imagine that selling loads.
Any topre board deals for this monday?
If not I think it's time for me to switch from this shitty K95 with reds to a real typing experience.
>>51624993
cm is selling the novatouch for $119
anyone else /hhkb/ here? I've had mine for just under a year now, and it's been great.
>>51625139
As someone who has some wrist pain and wants a more comfy typing experience and ergonomics in general do you recommend topre or clears?
Still need to be able to play some games on it, nothing autistic though.
>>51625172
Everyone has a different idea of what comfortable means.
You can type or play games on any switch so long as you personally enjoy doing so.
>>51625172
i have no clue
i dont have a novatouch, or a board with clears or topre
but i hear topre is nice to type on. no clue about gaming, both boards i have use blacks in them.
perhaps someone here can tell us more

What the fug is this though it doesn't have any caps, don't see much point in bothering finding compatible and affordable caps at that point.
>>51625216
it takes cherry key caps
its for people that already have some sets and dont want to pay extra for some shitty thin abs keys
>>51613133

She looks as if she's never seen something quite so horrible, in all her life.
where the fuck are all the backlit keycaps at? i just want a windows key.

forgive me if my code keyboard isn't vaporwave enough for you guys
>>51625328
Why do you want your Windows keys to be backlit so badly?
For the thread where everything's a meme, here are some meme caps for you:
http://www.maxkeyboard.com/r1-1x1.25-cherry-mx-portal-keycap-set.html
>>51625328
do they even have led's under the winkey? Why would they go thru all that to just give you blank ones.
>>51625355
>>51625366
Code keyboard ships with blank OS keys, despite having an LED for those keys. They do this specifically because they want to market toward users of every OS. Rather than shitty branding or a proprietary OS keycap, they just used blanks to stay neutral. I just think it's a waste to not have something shining through.
I'd rather just a plain windows key and not fucking le may may key caps. don't understand why they're so hard to find.
>>51625399
That makes sense. I found these for you. they might make you start posting on pol http://www.ebay.com/itm/171678708363
>>51625399
It'd make more sense to have something generic, like "OS".
Aftermarket backlit sets aren't common. Vortex makes a full set of PBT+POM doubleshots, which are probably an upgrade over whatever comes stock on the Code.
>>51625468
They would be if it weren't for how the LED's light up on the code. The Vortex Caps Only light up the symbols because of how they're printed. the "win" keycaps would suffice, but i'm not spending 40 bucks on a set just for that.
pic related.
>>51625511
Well, I guess you have to deal with it. Or you could stop being a pleb and give up on having backlight-compatible caps.
>>51617368
no it's a nice keyboard and when I see the shit posted on here with rainbow color leds I know I don't want any advice from you fags
