speaking of Topre, has anyone tried out a novatouch.
>>51724225
>muh gloried premium rubberdomes
>>51724255
using one right now. 10/10. awesome pricepoint and great topre feel. just make sure to buy new keycaps for it as the ones that are included are meh.
>>51724255
I own one. I like it. I still havent got around to lubing and silencing it yet. To me the size and keycap options are preferable over the RF even though the RF feels slightly more high quality.
Just ordered a custom tenkeyless from wasf. Anyone have any idea how long it takes for the order to process/ship?
>>51724225
if i buy a varmilo off mas drop will it have costar?
>>51724255
Very nice before silencing and adding thick caps, and excellent after.
>>51725763
Is having your pretty pictures really preferential to something of actual quality?

Is CODE a high tier keyboard?
I'm thinking about buying it.
Currently using Steelseries 6gv2 with default keycaps and switches.
>>51727516

It's acceptable.
>>51727542
What's high tier then
>>51727555
A Korean custom.

I live in Canada though so I got charged a fuck load for shipping then got raped by customs clearance and currency exchange. It was supposed to be 160$ USD but ended up being like 210$ USD or about 280$ CAD

I'm quite satisfied. Slightly tempted to find a blank red escape key.
PSA: mechanicals are shit. There's no proper feedback until you bottom out on Topre keyboards when typing fast. I've returned 2 Topres after incredibly underwhelming experience.

There are a lot of different switches out there.
>>51727516
It's regularly recommended. There's a drop on massdrop right now, so you better check that out.
>>51730120
I don't quite understand how massdrop works.
>>51730131
What's not to get?
>>51730131

>>51728777

Is the concept too foreign for your simple mind? How difficult is it to understand how groupbuys work?
>guy contacts supplier for bulk order of certain goods
>people interested in the product pool money to fulfil the bulk order which is cheaper than purchasing individual units
>goods are shipped to organizer's warehouses to be sorted and shipped to respective locations
>>51730146
>>51730167
Well I could order from any other official web store without any problem but I never heard about massdrop until the last week. I don't know what's the purpose of that site and why should I join it.
>>51730213
You join it if there is a product you want to buy. Just like if there's something you want to buy from Amazon, you make an account there.
>>51730190

>>51724900
where did you get those keys?
>>51730213
To save money. You're basically trading time for money.
I play games where I end up spamming buttons very quickly, and end up bottoming out the board nearly all the time. I need quick responsiveness too. What kind of switches do you think I ought to go for? Preferably something with shorter key travel.
>>51730348
reds with .4mm o-rings
>>51730325
barely save money sometimes it is even more
>>51730348
Scissor switches.
>>51730351
i assume the o-rings are to help with the bottoming out?
>>51730511
It seems there's very little in the way of consumer reviews / recommendations for scissor switch keyboards. Seems most people consider them inferior. I check the logicalincrements website, but they only recommended one keyboard.
>>51730817
yeah they make it softer and the thicker orings make the travel distance shorter
>>51724255
Felt like a Cherry switch to me for some reason when I tried it out. I have a Realforce.
>>51724225
Just ordered my novatouch.
Pbt next year probably.
>>51729038
It's ok anon you made me feel like shit since I just ordered a topre but then this so now it's gud
friendly reminder that novatouch is a poor man's realforce and feels nothing like the real thing
>>51731234

Why the fuck is the Sidwinder X4 still on there? It's out of production and $180 on Amazon, $270 Newegg.
Anyway I've been thinking of the Cougar 200k, maybe check that out.
Don't have any info on those switches, but I just dipped my board... Opinions?
will it ever be back in stock /g/?
>>51732031
what did you dip it it, diarrhea?
All I need is a cheapish mechanical numpad that actually has numpad input and is blue/white/green switches. does such a thing exist?
Will I ever need to buy another keyboard again now that I've discovered Cherry MX Clear?

anyone here who owns a q-pad or lioncast (k20)?
I just want a reliable mechanical keyboard for 100€ in germany.
pls gib
>>51732938
If you're really happy with it, then no. At most, you can get another keyboard for work. Just call it a day and don't fall for the multiple keyboard meme.
>>51724225
Whats the point of having a programmable Mech keyboard
>>51736948
custom tasks. Like how some keyboards had an email or internet button. You can program a key or a combination of keys to do a certain task.
Is CM Quick Fire TK Stealth (with Browns) any good? It's on sale for 70€ here in Finland, so I was wondering if it's worth that price.
Just got one of these
Stupidly I thought the bottom middle was clear (but it's black, why the fuck is black included in test packs? oh well)
Since I wanted to try out if I wanted Green, Clear or NovaTouch next.
When it arrives, can you get the feel of a Clear some how? Like a black but with a bump?
>>51737218
I have a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i with browns which presumably is pretty similar.
I really like it, it's my main board
>>51737368
put the black spring in the brown switch
>>51737647
The brown slider is not the same as a clear.
>>51736948
Custom layouts, like making your caps lock something useful.
>>51737808
black spring in green and ignore the click?
>>51737949
That would be even more different.
Thoughts on the HHKB Pro 2?
I really like the looks and compactness of it, but I use the function keys a fair amount (not a crazy lot, but a decently fair amount) and I'm worried about having to use two fingers to access the function keys all the time.
The other option is getting a realforce or a novatouch, but I don't like the TKL look as much as I like the look of the HHKB.
Why not Novatouch?
>>51738288
I have a ducky shine mini
I have a hard time without the arrowkeys etc pretty often so i started maining TKLs
>>51738564
How does the Shine Mini handle arrow keys?
I barely ever use the arrow keys on my Ducky Shine 4. I don't think I'd have a lot of trouble with pressing the FN key with my pinky on the right side while using the arrow keys with the rest of my hand.
/g/ why is it so difficult to find an azerty mechanical keyboard ?
>inb4 yuropoor
>>51738781
Fn+OKLÖ in my case
>>51739044
Given the location of the function key, I can see that being a bit of a pain.
HHKB has the Fn key to the right of the shift key.
>>51739108
Th left Windows key can be made to a Fn-key as well (I have them both)
>>51739108
And even the caps lock
>>51724255
full mechs are not deliverying best typing experience possible,thats why we have godtier topre
Thinking about a mech for an Xmas present for my dad. Looking at full size keyboards under $150.
I thought about the Topre Heaven, but reviews leave me worried about build quality (and the ABS keys). This is disappointing, as I was hoping it would be similar to my Realforce.
Are there other options? He's obviously old school, hence full size. Also hits the keys heavily, so it's either a high weight Topre or maybe MX blacks or possibly MX clears.
>>51739382
Get him a buckling spring keyboard.
>>51739408
Unicomp is a possibility but I'm not sure if he already has a Model M. If he does have one, he would have needed to modify it to use a PS2 port right? Damn I don't know. Maybe I'll just get a Dremel.
>>51739382
Your dad dosent need a mech.Spend the money on something else,like something he can have fun with.Not a fucking keyboard.If he wanted one it would 1.get one 2. ask your opinion
>>51739533
>Maybe I'll just get a Dremel
My father gifts me hardware every so often and I can tell you that hardware makes for a great gift to anyone who likes to DIY or just tinker with shit.
I use my dremel to cut almost anything that needs cutting and that's small enough. Fuck saws, this is the 21st century and if I want to shorten the legs of a wooden chair I'll do it with a blade that rotates 30'000 times per minute.
![topre_key_diagram[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IZKnV0q.jpg "topre_key_diagram[1].jpg")
i wish there where more full sized keyboards with tropre or alps switches
i just prefer the feedback of high - low - high resistance
sixth LED died in six months on my Ducky keyboard
what a fucking piece of shit
yes, I am angry as fuck
I will sell it ASAP
what should I buy? Filco looks great
>>51739614
Nobody needs a mech, it's a luxury. Its a good gift for someone who would appreciate it but wouldn't normally splurge on that kind of luxury. Plus he's been into computers since the 80's and programming on a hobbyist level, so he isn't your average old dude struggling with an iPad.

>>51739766
Why don't you just turn the neon off?
Just got my keyboard in the mail. Black ducky legend with blues. This fucker is heavy. Afraid to put it on my glass desk.
>>51740993
where did you get the black case from?
i searched for months and could only find the white case + blue led
Also yes its heavy as fuck,but i love it
>>51739922
what about swapping the modifiers. One red/white the other white/red
>>51740993
Post pictures please.
I like to look at sexy keyboards.
>>51741178
The problem with separate color for modifiers is that it doesn't look nearly as good on Nordic as on US keyboards
Why in the first place there are separate layouts for US and Europe is beyond me
>>51741528
idk why UK uses them but for Cyrillic ect you gain a couple more alphabet keys.
>>51741528
We invented QWERTY and Dvorak
So eurofags had to invent their own.
>>51741690
b-but we use qwerty
>>51741686
but you only gain 1 key (left shift) around the enter key they're just moved around but there's still only 3 keys in the same space
>>51728713
I really want a keyset like that
>tfw 99% of keysets are riced up neon coloured garbage
>>51741528
get an ansi kb, it's not too different that you cant use ISO again infact you can just alt+shift to toggle english on most computers by default and type like normal
>finally go to order DSA Dolch

>(forever)
>>51741151
I got it from ncix. It was on sale too. I'll post pics in a bit.
>>51741822
I wouldn't mind a ansi-layout. The only problem would be keycaps
My '*-button is a normal 1x1, but on ANSI it's the \|-button which is 1.25x1 or 1.5x1
>>51741945
just get a new keyset
>>51741992
I just mean that button would probably have to be specially made right. Sounds like a lot of hassle
And I really fancy the Pok3r backlit which seems to only exist in the US and ANSI version right now

Having 3 keys per finger in a way more ergonomic fashion.Having all modifiers available without further having to use modifiers to make modifiers.
tell me 1000 numbers in that your home row is more effective then numpad
protip:you cant.
>>51745324
it's more ergonomic to use the number row. Unless you work at a gas station or sit in a tiny cubical for a bank they are useless.

Go buy a nice keyboard. You know, with MONEY
>>51745829
Good idea!
>>51745851
I have a Realforce though. Doesn't change the fact that lurking /b/ in 2015 is for edgy 13 year olds who came from 9gag.
>>51745873
Call MA a thirteen year old again I dare you and I will take a Northgate omni key and smash it and give before and after pictures
>>51745556
Why do you keep going on and on about taxes?
>>51745908
Go ahead, 13 year old.
>>51745931
Cause in a real world,you will use the numpad a fucking lot.And being an aspie who thinks tkl is anything more then ricer shit to make you spend the same amout of money for a fullboard,is hilarious.
>>51745961
In the "real world" you do your taxes every day? How is a more compact board "ricer"?
>>51745961
I've never been unable to my taxes on a tkl. It's not a speedrun and it's not like I have to do taxes everyday. Where as tkl lets me keep my keyboard centered with my monitor and will not push the mouse off to the right.
>>51745976
Ignore him he's just trying to force his ideals on everyone else. I track all of my purchases and do my taxes without a numpad. If I ever, for whatever reason needed one, it's only a DIP switch away.
>>51745976
Right so you dont do any sort of math at all? ever? in any day?
>>51746012
If you dont have more then 4 ft on your desktop, i think the issue is somewhere else bud.
>>51745961
If only they made a small keyboard object with just the 10key.

>Right so you dont do any sort of math at all? ever? in any day?
Whoa there bro, you completely ignored my questions. Take a step back and try again.

I'd love to see a four foot keyboard tray.
>>51746076
>If you dont have more then 4 ft on your desktop, i think the issue is somewhere else bud
Never said I wouldn't have room for a numpad, it's nice to not have the mouse further away than it has to be, keeps the shoulder closer.
>>51745951
Here's the before picture. Roll dubs before 9:40 or the little keyboard gets it.
Either that or say "I was wrong, I'm a faggot, I'm sorry."

>>51746111
>I'd love to see a four foot keyboard tray.
So you buy a desk so you can not use it and you bitch about space?
Thats the problem pumpkin.
>>51746260
You know that putting a keyboard tray up on the top of your desk is bad ergonomics, right?
And you're still dodging the questions I asked. Seems like you don't have all the answers after all!
>>51746260
Even if you had a 10ft desk it would be irrelevant since the purpose of a tkl is so you can have the alphabet portion of the keyboard center to the screen and not push the mouse off to the side in the process, something you can't do with a fixed numpad.
>>51746284
>implying you need a case for any jack fucking reason.
I already told you why its ricer.You neglected to read.Must be related to your ricer board causing dementia
>>51746309
My keyboard is right in the middle of my left monitor and my mouse is right next to it.
Unless you're a midget or a manlet there is literally no problem
>>51746187
Because omni key ultras are rare
I've sent computers to hell that hipsters would dream to own, but it ain't my job to make sales to unreliable faggots because some shit is rare and others aint. Big boys with big boy money either come in and buy what we have or it goes to scrap.
I see tons of this garbage everybday. Mac SE? Garbage. Altair in a beat up server rack? Garbage.
>>51746332
But you have to extend your arm further than you would with tkl. I'm not saying it's hard to do, but after long periods it can get uncomfortable, especially with a big weighted mouse. For many people not having a numpad is a fair trade for this.
>>51746314
> a case
I don't remember talking about a case. Are you okay?
>I already told you why its ricer.
>How is a more compact board "ricer"?

A case and a tray are not remotely the same thing.
>no numpad=ricer
You didn't give a reason, you just asked a question about the amount of math I perform in a day. Do you know what ricer even means? I feel like I need to crack out the dictionary for you.
>>51746486
>Right so you dont do any sort of math at all? ever? in any day?
I can do math in my head, do you have Aspergers or something?
>>51746486
I don't do math on my PC everyday, do you?
>>51746456
I work for a company that sells surplus. I go to lots of surplus stores as well. We sell about 100thousand dollars of shit a day.
I don't give two fuck about hipsters and would rather they stay out. You don't like price of shit? Fuck you that is the price. It goes down by half twice in time and then get throw away
>>51746543
You work for $12.50 an hour.You get between 30 hours and 45 hours a week,with 5 hours of overtime.Project how much you make per month,and how much you will make per year.Include state and federal income tax.Plus your tax deductions for this fiscal year.
In your head plz.
You should atleast have your monthly finances estimated.

I keep my bank account updated and my records updated for taxes?
I type out math for mathlab and autocad
>>51746563
I worked for a place that did pc recycling. I have no idea how many model m's I demolished at my time there. In my defense I had no idea there was a niche for them.
>>51746643
>I keep my bank account updated and my records updated for taxes? I type out math for mathlab and autocad
most people don't do these things everyday and so it doesn't warrant them having a numpad
>>51746678
You must pay an accountant $200 a year to do them for you dont you?
Money math is daily.
>>51746698
nigga turbotax is like $30
>>51746698
I keep records but not every single day. I keep my receipts and do them in bulk at some point in the month. When I do keep them I find the number keys to be perfectly suitable for the job without the numpad.
>>51746643
>You work for $12.50 an hour.You get between 30 hours and 45 hours a week,with 5 hours of overtime.
I'm salaried.
>>51746724
Only if you know what you're doing.
Since you dont bother balancing your checking+ accounts.Must be a horrible mess when you wait to the last day to do them and file late.
Point stands,you use math every day.And if you use only home row.You're a fucking retard.
>>51746643
Jokes on you because I work under the table.
>I type out math for mathlab and autocad
use autocad everyday without a numberpad zero problems

what is a checkbook and a pen

see above
>>51746749
LOL your csv export from your online banking dosent magically go in to a spreadsheet and have all the math done to make it actual data.
LOL not keeping hard copies in case your banking account isnt available online(internet outage,bank online mantances//ddos)
This must be ricer mentality

Jokes on you wageslave I have a TKL and a separate numpad on my left that I can position anywhere on my desk for maximum ergonomics :^)
Who would like to hear a story about Das Keyboards? I'm fucking pissed and want to vent, but if everyone here has common sense, they already know it's a shit company. So???

I bought a 8 month old Realforce 87U variable for $137. How hard did I fuck up?
Where can I get replacement keycaps for a filco majestouch that won't get a greasy/oily sheen to them? it drives me insane
>>51738288
I have a HHKB, and it was the best purchase I ever made.
It sits exclusively at my work desk, as it takes up hardly any space and all of the key combos just make sense...for office work.
Unfortunately gaming is an entirely different story due to the lack of dedicated function and arrow keys so I'm currently either looking at a CM QFR TK or a Royal Kludge RC930-87. I want it to be backlit, so the Novatouch and Realforce are out unfortunately.
>>51748783
am i looking for PBT keycaps? anyone?
>>51748919
Either PBT or POM. PBT is more prevalent. Try the Vortex sets as they're doubleshot PBT+POM.
>>51748961
thanks brrrrrrro
>>51746789

What are you doing in a mechanical keyboard thread if you type like a twelve year old?
The risk of any of those things happening is pretty remote, and even then you will be down for less than a day.
I would rather be online and/or soft-copy only if it meant I didn't have to store a million and one hard copies.
>>51748747
Not that hard, although variable is a pain in the aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass.
You could always move around the cup rubber so the main keys are 45g.
>>51749100
So just got a 60% keyboard case to swap out the one of the pok3r. I kinda just fully realized there's a bit of a gap between the plate and case on the left side. Can anyone confirm this? It won't screw in or sit properly if I put the PCB in as I would like it.
Kinda disappointed to be honest family. Next time I'll probably just build my own with a teensy and handwire to avoid Vortex's bullshit.
>>51749253
Didn't mean to quote :^)
>seemingly a thousand choices for custom caps
>very few choices for PBT caps though?
>vortex sets have really awful legends
buhhhhhhh. might just order that miami set. looks nice. im legitimately from the 80s.
what's the most durable keyboard out there that can be had for fairly cheap?

Does a good TKL board with green switches exist? No ricer shit.
>>51749869
Code, WASD
>>51749999
yeah anything like that but with 20/NKRO without PS2, my Mobo doesn't have a port for it.
>>51750039
What do you even do to need NKRO that 6KRO over USB can't do?
Don't forget you'll be hard pressed finding greens on more mainstream manufacturers
>>51750076
Games that require a lot of buttons to be pressed at any 1 time.
>>51750121
USB does 4 modifiers+6 non-modifiers.
When would you ever be pressing more than that at once?
>>51750379
Well 2bh I did not know there was +4 modifiers. That's okay I guess.
CODE or WASD boards can do the 2x Shift quick brown dog jumps... thing flawlessly?
>>51750530
>CODE or WASD boards can do the 2x Shift quick brown dog jumps... thing flawlessly?
That's a separate issue.
There's matrix rollover, which isn't really a problem for any mechanical keyboard. It's only an issue with rubber domes since they don't have diodes, where any combination of 2 keys will work, but 3+ keys can cause problems depending on which specific keys and the layout of the matrix.
Then there's protocol rollover. PS/2 has NKRO, USB has 6+4 unless it has a better firmware which allows NKRO at the cost of possibly not working in BIOSes and such. Fancy once let you toggle it, even fancier ones guess automatically. This is generally the limitation on a mechanical keyboard.
Got myself a Deck Hassium Pro with browns for my first mechanical keyboard. Honestly the stink about the font used in most reviews is overplayed; it actually looks worse in the pictures than it does IRL. In fact I'm a little fond of the eccentric font. One valid complaint though is the spotty backlighting in some of the keys. Though I guess it's a decent compromise since it seems it's either PBT caps OR good backlighting.
Also, it took some getting used to the feel of a mk coming from a rubberdome. Like I would subconsciously press the strafe button in an fps and then wonder "hey why am I strafing?" And only realize a moment later I actually was holding the strafe button. Like maybe I should've gotten a higher force switch instead (I kinda impulse bought this, didn't get a switch tester first lol). Overall a very worthwhile purchase though.

You should shell out $1,000 for an industrial model M and destroy that, old man. You'd really show those hipsters
ITT: thread is derailed by two raging old men who won't rest until everybody does their taxes on a numpad and then destroys the whole keyboard
>>51752732
I just picture him doing his taxes today muttering to himself about tkl and hipsters.
>>51752232
Yes, actually.
Hey bros. Is there any noticeable difference between red and brown switches? Never owned a mechanical keyboard before. I keep hearing brown is the best for any first time buyer. It'll be used mainly for general use and RTS games.

It doesn't matter what it'll be used for.

Are CMStorm quick fires any good? Seem to be relatively cheap with good reviewsm
>>51753614
The quickfire rapid is a good choice.
>>51753441
Go to a store and test out different switches. If at all possible on a keyboard while typing stuff instead of trying out one of those test boards with one of each switch.
>>51753441
Get blues if you don't mind the sound. Blues are fine for gaming and great for typing. Don't let redditors fool you into thinking otherwise.
But of course, always, always try all the switches first if you can.
>>51753687
Noise is kind of the only thing I would like to steer away from. From reading, red seems to be the best for my needs. But I think you're all correct in me actually using them to see which feels the most natural. Much thanks.
Does anyone have this Vim keyboard?
Is it worth the price?
