Old thread: >>51856137
Is there a point getting mechanicals if I prefer bottoming out over touch typing?
I feel it just slows me down and is tiring
>>51877695
Bottoming out and touch typing are not mutually exclusive. The lighter switches are very hard to avoid bottoming out, so don't feel bad about it. Or you can get one of the heavier switches.
Or put thick o-rings to reduce the travel distance if you really want to.
>>51877695
>bottoming out over touch typing?
you mean light typing
touch typing just means not looking at the keyboard
widebasket replied to me I can't return an unboxed Leopold to him, as it can't be considered "mint in sealed box".
So that basically means I can't return if I regret the topre meme, and that means I'm not betting 250$ on a gamble.
I'm probably going to get the 109€ novatouch with 14 days return no questions asked and see how it goes.
And yes, I'm the same anon selling the mx blues Poker II.
>>51878079
I'd consider buying that off you if it weren't ISO, had ugly as fuck keycaps and a function row which I can access without having to press the FN key.
>>51878079
Why don't you get a pok3r with MX blues?
>>51878079
>tfw lost 20€ on my gamble
don't take the gamble anon
Anyone tried the new Corsair K95 or K70?
Looks like they ditched the tramp stamp branding
I like how the keys are all on the same surface with no onbstruction between them, seems much easier to clean
>>51878079
>No numpad
I guess that's fine, although more shortcuts and macros is nice to have
>No arrow keys/pagedown/page up/home/end
uhhh... I guess you can use the function keys?
>No f keys
Make this meme die already
>>51878652
There are F keys on 60% keyboards. They're just on a function layer like the arrow keys.
>>51878627
Nonstandard bottom row, LED issues etc.
Avoid corsair keyboards. They look like shit and they are shit.
>>51878079
Even my laptop has a fullsize keyboard, what is this memery
>>51878342
>had ugly as fuck keycaps
I have the complete dark grey pbt set in german layout.
>>51878652
>>No f keys
everything is at my fingertips from the home row.
>>51878728
Now just turn it into ansi and make the function row not be bound to the FN key and you've got a deal.
I already switched from ISO to ANSI, I'm not switching back now.
daily remind that topre isnt mechanical
>>51878964
Daily reminder that anything which requires you to press a switch is mechanical.
hey guys i have the CM quickfire TK and i dont like it much, the W buttons LED is flickering, and the finish on the button already is tearing off, after one year of use
also it merged the arrow buttons with the numpads and i hate it, i thought i wouldnt need to use the numpad or the arrowkeys that much but it turned out i do
all in all its meh 6/10

>>51879110
whats gamey about it? that it has lit keys?
>>51879202
ABTKB are pretty comfy but I still prefer mechanical
>>51879202
It feel like shit and it's really non-modifiable.
How do you even open those shits? I've opened some older apple keyboards, the old apple extended probably being the easiest, but I have yet to find a single screw on those unibody aluminum chiclet boards.
>>51879216
The design, the font and the nonstandard bottom row.
And lights which are anything else than white are often also considered gaymen.
>>51879239
>>How do you even open those shits?
I just hand 20$ to an apple genius
>>51879216
Yeah mate the xtreme gaming font, blinding blue LEDs, and speed vents, in no way scream "GAMING KEYBOARD"
Or, hang on, let's refer to Coolermaster Gaming's ad copy on their website
>You're a gamer. You know that a mechanical keyboard means the difference between winning and losing. The original QuickFire Rapid gaming keyboard was embraced by gamers worldwide because it made the difference. Now the QuickFire TK takes the QuickFire Rapid and put it on steroids! [...] Great for LAN parties.
Nope, not gamey at all. I take it back.
I really want to get these keycaps in ISO but the group buy that includes them seems to be failing.
Europeans complain when there's no ISO compatibility but never actually spend their money when an opportunity opens up.
>>51879621
Probably because they have good taste.

Is ducky shine good?
>>51880142
>five years
It would be funny if it wasn't true
>>51880142
I refuse to use a keyboard without a numpad for my desktop, so no TKL for me.
I should get my Ducky Shine 3 TKL tomorrow. Hope I chose well ( - Д - )

>>51880506
From what I've seen people say online...
the buckling spring is to cherry MX's,
what cherry MX's are to rubber domes
IE, people seem to cum buckets over them, especially the genuine IBM model M's. Of course, the noise factor can be career suicide depending on your situation at work.
And the EnduraPro...buckling spring with clit mouse, oh man. God I want one of these too, but my wife already thinks I'm nuts for spending more than $20 on my first mechanical.
Anyone here have an EnduraPro?
>>51884950
>being so brainwashed he can't use a new layout that makes more sense
>>51882345
Yeah, but zenkaku is used (on the HHKB JP it's the logo key to the bottom left), along with @[];:,./-^ layout etc. I used the Japanese layout for 6 years. I can fluently type at about 115 WPM with using shift 7 for apostrophe, which I actually prefer because sometimes I hit Enter on non-Japanese layouts when attempting to press the apostrophe. And shift 2 for quotes.
No big deal though, it's all preference. I have actually seen quite a few Japanese saying that the HHKB JP layout is terrible and they prefer the western layout, just because virtually all Japanese use romaji and tab/numbers/enter to write (hence the small spacebar).
>>51883506
Just to let you know the Novatouch doesn't have an aluminum backplate while the FC660C does. What this means is, they will feel entirely different even if they use the exact same switch. Same goes for the HHKB Pro 2 and FC660C, they use the same 45g Topre switches but they feel different.
>>51885028
I'm assuming hhkb and novatouch will be different as well.
Not like I care since I find the hhkb arrow cluster to be retarded (up and down two rows apart! lol)
>white leds
>cherry red or blacks (might settle for browns)
>tenkeyless
>no autistic layouts or design
what do you guys recommend?
>>51885083
I only have a HHKB Pro 2, but honestly if I had to buy between the FC660C and HHKB Pro 2. I would choose the 660C although I have not used it. They are about the same price, but the 660C's layout seems more worthwhile. It's all because of the aluminum backplate (and the ins/del which I would probably map to page up/down).
>>51885087
Ducky Shine Zero if you can find it anywhere or a CODE with browns (or clears, clears are better browns).
repostan because it didn't get answered last thread
>I know the CODE and WASD v2 have the same guts as the Filco and QFR TKLs. Where the ACTUAL fuck can you get aftermarket cases for any of these? The only ones I can find are those aluminum Vortex cases and they've been sold out for months.
>>51885428
>and they've been sold out for months
I asked them about those and they said that they're currently being redesigned, anticipated to be back in stock spring 2016
>>51884966
Yeah, I work from home so I'll be the only one who has to put up with the clak-clak.
>>51884982
I live in Japan and type Japanese quite often.
I'd prefer the JP layout due to symbol placement and the hankaku/kana/etc. keys.
But tibe honest I'd prefer a real board over both. HHKB is just too cramped.

>>51886419
Not really, a stiffer linear seemed to be the best option based on my experience with black, lighter and some accidental bombing happened. I had heard that Gaterons are smoother, which they are, and was thinking that Yellows would have a slightly different force curve. I can't really tell the difference besides the Yellows being smoother than Cherry Blacks.
>>51886895
Yellows are definitely lighter than Cherry blacks, yes. I also feel that they're slightly lighter at the top of the stroke over Gateron blacks, though the difference is minimal.

How much of a disadvantage am I at with a board with 125hz polling over USB (WASD CODE)? My mobo doens't have a ps2 connection?
I just tried spamming i down on wordpad for 30 seconds and got 917 i's down, then tried the same thing with my old ducky shine 3 that claims to have 1000hz polling over usb but that got a about 900 i's down so I assume USB polling is capped or something.
anyone help? sorry if I'm a bit board.
>>51887477

Can someone recommend me a good ten-keyless for $100-$200?
I'd mainly use it for typing/gaming, and I remember someone saying that brown/clear keys were good for that. Key type is really just personal preference though, isn't it?

Handwired. I'm not using a Teensy, but a cheaper ATMega32u4 board so I may have to play around a bit getting it to work. I won't have to set up a matrix because of how few switches there are, though. I started with the BrownFox guide on Deskthority.

I am confused. What is the MX Clear equivalent, but in 62g, in Zealio form? 62g Purple Zealio Tactile, right?
Also, have they ever offered a keyboard with 62g Zealio switches on Massdrop?
>tfw enjoying the smooth uninterrupted keystroke of an MX Red
why do you need the bump tactilefags? can't you tell you activated the key when the character appears on the screen?
>>51890644
Linears are the best. I prefer Kailh reds to cherry reds since they're smoother and a little heavier, but typing on them is so much better than tactiles. Some clickys are ok.
>>51890468
>What is the MX Clear equivalent, but in 62g, in Zealio form? 62g Purple Zealio Tactile, right?
What else would it be? Also, are you aware that the force rating on a Cherry switch is not the same thing as the force rating on a Zealio?
>>51881304
Does anyone on reddit have cute anime girl faces on their keyboards? Has that caught on yet, or is it just mikufag and watashifag?
>>51890848
No, I know nothing about Zealio. I have MX Clears and I wanted to get 62g Clears, preferably without modding, but it doesn't look like that's going to be possible.
>>51890914
A 62g Zealio is just barely heavier than a Cherry brown. The 62g tactiles had few orders, so Zeal didn't have very many produced and I believe they're all sold out, now.
Reddit had a poll where people picked their favorite keyboard.
Here's the top ten:
1. Pok3r
2. HHKB
3. Novatouch TKL
4. CM Storm Quickfire Rapid
5. Poker 2
6. Planck
7. Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless
8. IBM Model M
9. Corsair K70 RGB
10. Realforce TKL 55g
I'm honestly not surprised. It also matches the contents of these threads very well.
>>51891203

>>51891229

>>51891303

>>51891203
And? Those are pretty much the best ones available. If you're keyboard isn't on that list, it's probably shit.
>>51891315
You're right, it would be renamed the DonaldNet in his honor.
>>51891203
I fucking hate this list. Not because it's from Reddit actually, but rather because I switch between a Pok3r and HHKB on a daily basis and have been doing so for the last 3 months. I just can't decide which I prefer.

The "build quality" meme is just what you use to rationalize buying 500$ keyboards instead of 150$ ones
Also tiny fucking 60 key keyboards being 300$ is retarded, and you're retarded for being so into it
>>51891396
I prefer the aluminum case and more industrial feeling Pok3r has, the HHKB feels kind of cheap in comparison. I also feel more confident in my typing on the Pok3r than I do on the HHKB, my WPM is higher too, although I like the HHKB's layout and the modifiers feel better.
I would like to get my hands on a 660C eventually. Same switches as the HHKB but aluminum so maybe it's what I'm looking for.
Friendly reminder that no matter how long you postpone it, a blank caps hhkb pro2 type-s with red ESC is your endgame.
Might as well get it now and stop wasting money on the intermediate steps.

>blank caps
Blank caps are literally pointless and exist just to appeal to massive autists. The only possible reason I can think of for blank caps is to avoid ugly wearing of the letters, but HHKBs are PBT anyway.
>red ESC
Why? What about this key is so special that you autists feel you have to make it red? Why not the enter key, or the tab key, or the meta key, or any number of other keys that are surely used more frequently?
So which am I better off doing; buying a random <$50 mechanical keyboard on newegg or amazon, or a regular keyboard? I tried looking for those cheap keyboards in the pastebin, but either I can't easily find them, or they aren't full keyboards and I'm not interested in that.

Red esc because panic exit

When mommy catches you masturbating?
>" Numpad keyboards are not even on my radar anymore. They take too much space and it makes it so much harder to use the mouse and the keyboard at the same time. So props to CM for choosing to only do tenkeyless on this"
What the hell? How close do you faggots have your mouse arm to your keyboard? This seems really awkward
Who SNES here?
>>51892817
Still no f keys, and what's the point of this? Just get a standard fucking layout for fucks sake
>>51892151
>no numpad for those times when you wanna roleplay a cash register worker or a call centre worker
I laughed
Guys i was gonna buy a corsair rgb k70 apparently u guys dont like it why?

I hope you're kidding, and you probably are, but it uses Topre, as the name implies.
>>51891507
The HHKB has a plastic backplate? I'm not saying this negatively, I'm actually curious how much of difference it makes.
>>51891975
>no dedicated arrow keys
I guess if you're pro ijkl you won't need them, but I could never get used to it.
>>51892021
Looks nice. WASD keyboard and caps?
>>51892069
Dunno, if it's a PCB with the controller soldered on you're probably not going to get far, but I don't know much about that stuff
>>51892193
They're good if you don't feel like purchasing caps for that super obscure language or layout you have. And ninja print is a good middle ground.
>>51892242
If you're not going all the way just get the Apple Wireless or Apple wired
>>51893070
Thr keyboard is a meme? Im being serious here it looks decent plus i want something full size plus with colors whats bad about thag keyboard?
>>51893077
>Looks nice. WASD keyboard and caps?
No, KBTalking 108 and don't remember the caps but they're really comfy with a nice texture.
>>51893088
Don't listen to the faggots in this thread.
LOOK at the keyboards they have, fucking living breathing memes.
The k70 is fine, aluminum base and the keys are all on the same height with no separation which is comfy.
I doni't even have it so this isn't shilling or buyers remorse, but the faggots who care this much about mech keyboards often have terrible fucking tastes, I mean look at this

k70 is fine but there are SO MANY REPORTS of leds dying
look into if they fixed that shit yet, if not you'll probably get dicked too
Newbie on mechs here.
I bought Ducky Shine 5 (Brown) as my first mechanical keyboard some time ago.
Here is my toughs about it so far:
MX Browns feel amazing to type whit.
I really like general simple look of the keyboard.
It was expensive, but that is same whit every quality mechanical keyboard afaik. I paid 200€ for it. (Nordic)
Negatives: Only one. Space bar led lights will shine right in to my eyes from my normal sitting height. This can be fixed by adding small slip of tape to front edge of space bar.
>>51893212
>>51893237
Thanks i think im gonna go with it. The led problem a issue fo me i just like the design and knowing how good corsair products are i wanted to go corsair. I just though there was a big problem with the laptop since so many people in these thread seems to hate it
>>51893088
I recommend you get strafe RGB if you want Corsair keyboard
it has better leds
and doesn't have as many complaints of leds dying
only minus is that it's made of plastic which I prefer to brushed aluminum because it's much easier to keep clean
>>51893315
Laptop? What?
>>51893315
>The led problem a issue fo me i just like the design

uhhhhhh
anon?
if you like the design try checking out azio MGK or lolita spyder btw

What are kalih switches like?

>What are kalih switches like?
they are to cherry what macdonalds is to hamburger.

>>51893419
like cherry mx switches but slightly harder
red is 5 harder, black is the same, brown is 15 harder, blue is 10 harder
doesn't have greens or clears though
other than that they're "fakes" so people say they're worse and others say they're better. I doubt there's that much of a difference though
>>51893444
Why do people get linear switches if they want mech keyboards?
>>51893461
because they want easy double taps, because they like traveltime, because they like customization, because they want high build quality, because they hate the rubber at the bottom out
there's many possible reasons, not everyone gets it to be an obnoxious clicker
>>51893493
Did I hit a nerv?
>>51893509
no I think linears are godawful
stop being retarded then acting like you trolled someone when someone tells you you're retarded
>>51878627
I have the K70, it's a good keyboard, no matter what other people say
>>51893530
How long have you had it and have any leds died yet?
>some people are willing to spend 200$ on a keyboard
>but they are not willing to spend one or two afternoon to learn how to touch type
>muh leds
Pathetic.
>>51893539
3 months now
No LEDs have died yet
>>51893624
LEDs are for looks, not to help you find the key.
Filthy fucking faggot.
>>51893631
>LEDs are for looks
this is somehow even worse
do you also like neon lights under your car?
>>51893624
>>but they are not willing to spend one or two afternoon to learn how to touch type
took me years and I still don't know all the symbols
>>51893651
yes, if it has a moving rainbow pattern
>not going 40%
>>51893681
>not going 10%
Just ordered a ducky legend mx brown. Can't wait for it to break and take it out to the shooting range to see if that thing is bulletproof.
Anyone here used it before?
>>51893651
I wish.
>>51893681
This is the next stage of faggotvolution in the mechanical keyboard community.
>>51893711

40% have been around for 2 years already.

>The HHKB has a plastic backplate? I'm not saying this negatively, I'm actually curious how much of difference it makes.
It's not really a negative, just feels different. Take a look at some 660C and HHKB Pro 2 videos to see what I mean, they both use the 45g Topre with PBT keycaps stock.
>>51892193
>HHKBs are PBT anyway
Doesn't the lettering still eventually wear unless it is doubleshot?
>had to pay 16.40€ to return a board from belgium to the netherlands
jesus fucking christ, that's almost the shipping cost from the US
>>51893694
my TV controller has more buttons than this
>>51894132
What board and why did you regret it
I can get the Das Keyboard 4 Professional with browns for ~100€, should I?
currently typing on a cheap Logitech rubber dome, had Corsair K70 with blues before but didn't really like it
>>51894313
xt with blues
hurt like shit because I either had to rest my palm on the control's corner, turn the control around making it really hard to press or twist my hand in a weird way
I also didn't like the feeling of bottoming out and stopping before actuating made me mistype a ton and felt a lot slower
also was really hard to doubletap
so basically everything
>>51894411
>I also didn't like the feeling of bottoming out
>bottoming out on blues
you're doing it wrong
>>51894594
>and stopping before actuating made me mistype a ton and felt a lot slower
sure I fucked up "before bottoming out"* but you should still understand what I mean
>>51891229
I just visit that sub because they post good sales. Seeing autism is just an extra bonus like watching a car crash.
Typing this beacuse it's comfy to type on this keyboard
woo just got my Cooler Masters switch tester
