I'm considering getting a ducky, but I've never actually owned a mechanical keyboard.
Is that an alright choice? Also, what's the difference between switches?
>>52009802
Thanks. I'd need the PCB mount one, correct?
>>52009736
I do have the horsey one but I like it :^)
>>52009832
>>52009742
I like it when the domes are a funny colour.
>>52009841
Probably not, but it's always a safer bet to get a PCB mount switch - you can just snip off the extra legs if your PCB doesn't have the holes.
>>52009895
OK, thanks so much.

I like the way the WASD 87 key keyboard looks, but I heard from the previous thread that the bare bones key board is fine, but they key caps are bad. What should I do about that, considering I want specific colors and also Cyrillic layout?

>>52011999
people don't buy diesel cars because they are more reliable, same as people don't buy mechanical because they need one keyboard to last 40 years.
typing on scissor or rubber dome now after using mech keys is painful. they aren't bad and certainly before I'd used a mech board I didn't even notice it. But domes fucking suck for typing.
>>52012172
All I'm getting from your post is that using a mechanical keyboard for any period of time breaks your fingers in such a way that will render you unable to use a modern rubber dome keyboard ever again because "it's painful to type on".
>>52012114
I'm not the guy with problems. None of my mechanical keyboards have had any issues.
>>52012058
I will buy those eventually but Ducky's LEDs are just sex. I don't need a new keyboard for those caps though. I have the White Edition, so as a base it would look really nice with a mix of orange and white caps.
>tfw my first mechanical keyboard was a black switch ss 6gv2
I kinda of like it but I think I would have like browns more, and this keyboards "/" and "\" are weirdly placed.
It's a weird feeling, on one hand I'm happy that it's build like a tank because it's good value on the other hand I kinda want to try something else too. I'm too jew to switch something that works just fine.
>>52012114

>fullsize

>>52012243
if you get another board it's easy to justify it if it's different enough
for me, all my mechanical keyboards have a different swift type and most of them are different form factors
for example I had a quickfire rapid with blues, then got a pok3r with greens
>>52012263
s/swift/switch
>>52012263
My next keyboard is gonna be a Quickfire XT with browns (really similar to the 6gv2).
I don't really care for having many "different" boards. I want one that's fits me and then I don't wanna have to worry about it anymore.
friendly reminder that this HP keyboard is virtually undistinguishable from a topre keyboard.
I did various blind tests side by side with my topre realforce 88U and they are the fucking same.
>>52012309
I find that really hard to believe.
I've had plenty of oem HP keyboards and they've never been anything more than mushy and annoying to type on.
>>52012336
>>52012309
oh wait, nevermind
i understood what you were trying to say
>>52012336
>mushy and annoying to type on.
So exactly like topre switches then.
>>52009567
How different are Blue switches from Browns? The model I am eyeing only has Browns on it, but a model close to what I want has Blue switches. I'm about to just go for that other model instead.

mechanical keyboards are easier and faster to use than rubber domes. You misinterpreted that. I feel like you have a chip on your shoulder maybe.
This isn't some stupid nerd thing like have a pocket DAC and amp for your MP3 player, mech keyboards offer a tangible benefit and if you use a computer a lot it is a sound investment.

>>52012401
>mechanical keyboards are easier
last time i checked, all keyboards worked the same way, you press down key to make the same letter appear on the screen
>and faster to use than rubber domes.
actually rubber domes are faster if you don't bottom them out like some kind of retard
do you even type?
>This isn't some stupid nerd thing like have a pocket DAC and amp for your MP3 player
No, this is very much a stupid nerd thing.
Most people don't give a shit about keyboards because they peck type and type too slowly to notice the difference between rubber dome and cherry meme switches.
>>52012448
you are woefully misinformed and I can tell you just want to argue so I'll leave it at that.

Great going.
>>52012470
it's rubber dome
pre-2000s rubber domes are really high quality tho, especially if they come with a steel backing plate for stabilty.
You can tell if a keyboard is mechanical just by looking at it's size, if it's beige, fuckhuge and predates 1990, it's probably mechanical

Read the op and wiki guide but they are pretty lackluster.

I have owned a poker with metal caps. Was very nice but 60% was never my thing.
Owned a noopoo choc mini. It is nice. But cannot type as fast even after a month. And do not really like the 75% layout too.
Owned a DAS keyboard. Full size with blue switches. Have hit 120 wpm consistently and is a great keyboard, but too big and plastic.

Are topre really that good... I found blues/brown to be great.
>>52015220
>Are topre really that good
>>52015220
They feel like how people expect browns to feel before being disappointed. It has the benefits of both traditional mechanical switches and rubber domes.
The tactile bump is more refined than any Cherry switch and after it becomes smoother than reds with some slight resistance increase before you hit the bottom. It then pops back up quicker than most Cherry switches.
The Novatouch is one of the cheapest ways to get genuine Topre and uses a special stem to be compatible with all the popular aftermarket keycaps.
>>52015292

I currently have a gaymen rubber dome Logitech g105 and i like the way the keys feel, and ive had it for a few years now.
i also own an ibm model m and it was great for typing, but i can type just as fast on a rubber dome, but gaming on it felt like trash.
I dont even notice the "squishyness" of a rubber dome
Should I bother sound damping my blue keys?
They're lovely and tactile, I don't want to lose the feel but the sound of them bottoming out is quite harsh

you want to stuff rubber between the switches and you expect it not to change the overall feel of the switches?
>>52018986
>Too much
Can you read?
I'm willing to take a certain level of lost feeling if the reduction in sound is high enough
How does this make you feel?
>>52019028
I want to drink some warm cum
>>52019028
It makes me want to tuck my dick in, wear a pretty dress then shitpost on /r/4chan
>>52019028
The rational part of me knows that its so small to be near pointless outside of very, very specialized applications but because I'm on /g/ I'll get down and suck its cock for how compact and hipster-chic it is
>>52019028
Fuck that.
>>52019028
I bet the guy who made this has a really punchable face
>>52014276
with programmable keyboards like the pok3r you can have layers with vim arrows
>>52019414
I'd rather not handicap myself by becoming highly dependent on non-standard keyboard functions like hardware level key macros.

>want to input a number
NOPE TO BAD

NOPE TO BAD
>want to input things like (, & or #
NOPE TO BAD
why would anyone use that?
Budget is 150$ first mk got no shop nearby to test the switches and wont buy a switch tester cause cant wait that long. What I like so far from the sound in youtube videos is topre switch and brown but topre more. Should I go full YOLO mode and get type heaven even though I got no idea what it feels like typing on one? I probably will.

I'm not going to excuse anyone with a 40%, but as a 60% and previously a TKL/80% user I can tell you that having a small keyboard is great, not only ergonomically, but a lot of things go on a desk besides your keyboard and mouse.
Pic related. Excuse the shitty lighting (I didn't wanna get up), but I'm using a pok3r.
>>52019460
I'm sure it's possible to use most keys if you press the right combination of modifiers, but fuck, it's minimalism taken to an absurd level.
>>52019466
You could have a gigantic ibm model f on that desk and it would only inconvenience the placement of your bowl just a little bit.
Also who the fuck eats at their computer?
That's nasty.
>>52017132
you will only be disappointed with a budget like that... there's a chance you could snag a quickfire rapid, I guess

Varmilo makes some mechanical keyboards with bluetooth. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/varmilo-vb87m-bluetooth?mode=guest_open
You should really just get this, though:

>>52018578
That's not true, though. Why would you say that? Do you get laughs out of this? Money? It's not funny to me. I hope you are at least enjoying yourself.
>>52018633
You'll stop bottoming out over time, but you should really just get greens instead of Blues.
Trust me, I spent 3 years on Blues and stopped bottoming out mostly, but Greens still feel a hell of a lot better.

>post purchase rationalization
>>52018698
just get a novatouch, then (to solve keycap problem)
>>52017132
check Amazon warehouse deals. a majority of the time the box has a rip or scuff and the product is fine.
>>52019459
It's a 60%.. You could literally carry it with you places.
>>52019647
I haven't spent any money on topre or buckling spring. I used a friend's novatouch and my model m was free. I've only bought cherry mx keyboard. It is not post purchase rationalization. That's not a bad assumption, though, actually. My post does read kind of frantic, looking back.
>>52019528
I'm at my brother's house atm. Been here a few months. At my parent's house I have a much smaller desk. It can still fit a model M, and has, but I don't really like losing all that space. Sometimes I use more space than I am currently.
>eats at their computer
It's not really like that. I'm eating at my desk, where I always sit during the day. I don't hang over my keyboard. If my food takes up enough space I even push my keyboard out of the way. Usually just hang over the desk or my lap, though. I'm a very clean person and clean off my mouse and desk often aside from washing my hands.
The desk is a little wider than the picture shows but I could barely see my phone screen when I took the shot. I've got a Wii U GamePad, and 3DS in their charging cradles to the right as well.
Sometimes it's just nice to have workspace.

>NEET
post discarded
>>52019753
Why? We're talking about a desk at home, not a desk at an office.
Also nothing I said necessarily implies that I am a NEET, although I won't deny that.
>>52019774
>where I always sit during the day
>>52019774
reevaluate your life
>>52019797
Haha, you win. That does kinda give it away.
>>52019802
Why? It's not like I'm in my 20s or 30s. I think being a NEET a year after graduating high school is pretty normal. I'm still figuring out what to do.
As far as I'm concerned, what I do is equivalent to what everyone in college is doing right now. I'm learning to program and practicing my GNU/Linux skills so I can get a job relevant to my interests.
>>52019774
you upset the wage slaves.
>>52019830
>he took a gap year
you might as well start applying for autismbucks right now, you already sealed your fate
>>52019840
>you upset the wage slaves.
I bet you're one of those who foam at the mouth the a "Slave" drops 300$ on a topre like it's nothing.
>>52019883
When a*
So is it pretty much confirmed that only NEETs and gaymer manchildren care about mechanical keyboards?
>>52019883
why would I want an over priced membrane.
Actually I don't even know if I'm a wage slave or a neet. I don't have a 9-5 but I also don't work everyday. And it may be under the table. Semi-neet?
>>52018517
if both are new they will be roughly the same feeling
after two years a classic rubber dome is going to have more noticeably inconsistent wear based on what keys are pressed more or less often
>>52019927
No. A lot of programmers and such at least like the Model M. I'd say mechanical keyboards are practically normie territory by now. You're gonna have to tell apart normies from enthusiasts by seeing if they got a Pok3r, HHKB, etc. or something from Razer/Corsair/Ducky.
>>52019935
>overpriced membrane
because it feels objectively nicer and smoother to type on than janky mechanical switches with lots of moving parts and hurt your hands overtime from harsh bottom outs.
it's the rubber dome done right, because you get the benefit of a springy bounceback while also having a consistent actuation force that's also quiet and comfy to type on.
>>52014348
I was kinda worried about the 60% i got but its awesome dude, youd be surprised how annoying it is going back. A lot more inconvenient than learning the 4-5 fn buttons you actually use
>>52019999
This. Had to look at the keyboard for the first time in a few years the other day to see where page up and page down were (mostly just use home/end but I needed to scroll in my terminal for something where the mouse didn't work) but now I think I've got all the function keys down. I'm thinking of finally getting some blank keycaps.
I'm fine with blank keycaps on a TKL but was holding off on the 60% until I learned the function stuff. It happened surprisingly fast, though.
>>52019860
Any idea how to start that process? I was actually thinking about it lately. Not sure about paying rent, but I do feel bad when my brother buys me all my food.
>>52019464
Get black or red
>>52020361
Has anyone used a RK-9000V2 BR? I'm thinking about getting one with brown switches.
>>52019971
>normies
>ducky
Ducky is solid build quality,i would say the highest.Multiple branches.From RICEROMGSHET to "ergonomic" boards.
Lumping them with razer/corsair,is beyond absurd.
Now about those other autist boards you listed,yeah gotta tell them spactic retards from the rest
