So /g/, I've been looking at getting a mechanical keyboard and I've decided on MX Blue keys. What do you guys think of this keyboard?
>>
Have you considered instead of purchasing a mechanical keyboard purchasing a wall-mounted singing fish?
>>
>>52206735
Blues typically the most beloved of the mechanical keys

You may also like browns

The keyboard is pretty nice for a first timer

Although if you're taking the keyboard to work don't get blues, get browns.

Other than that enjoy and welcome to the club

>no numpad
into the trash it goes

Won't be used for work, but mostly just browsing online and typing out medical documents at home.>>52206760
Also I have no need for a numpad when I generally just use the top row of numbers on my current keyboard.
>>
Why would I need a mechanical keyboard when I have the crispy clean keyboard of a T420?

Highly think that if you don't go Topre you might as well drop the memechnical keyboards, Cherry switches are atrocious and worse than a good non-mech.

Topres tho, sweet dear lord..

>40% less keys
>200% more expensive

>>52208853
Oh, hi fellow Topre employee!
Looking forward to sharing our shilling stories tomorrow on lunch break

>Pissed off
Are you projecting? I am not pissed off anon.

And I've never been disappointed with keyboards as much as I were when I tested cherry switch kbs.

I see no reason to not to get a cheaper non-mech that is just as good as Cherry trash.

I consider this cherry meme a shill meme at this because how can you like their awful feel?
>>
>>52209044
You seem very upset, anon. I think you should take an internet brake.

Anyone in here know the best way of learning touch typing? I'm fed up of pecking keys.

>>52206735
No F keys, I hope you never use F5 to save, F11 to full screen or F12 to console haxxor a browser
>>
>>52206735
OP, I just recently bought exactly the same keyboard, and its lovely.
You still have F-row and keypad functionality, though you don't have to use it.
Haven't programmed it yet though.
>>
>>52210811
Nope, I'm don't use the F-keys for anything. I'd rather the spare space than keys I wouldn't use.

I dug up this nigga which I had buried under some ancient parts and replaced it with my shitty Logitech. It's loud but typing is so much better now. I love it.
