>>53481970
I'd just say "enjoy your arm strain" and leave it at that but let's be more constructive about this. Minimising the distance you have to move your hand between the keyboard and mouse will do wonders in the long run. I sympathise fully that you don't want reduced functionality, and as such I encourage people to either get a dedicated numpad, that can be put to the left of the keyboard or wherever you find comfortable, or to bind an artificial numpad on the keyboard. This can be easily accomplished with Autokey on Linux and (I assume) with Autohotkey on Windows.
Linux users can also do like me and make their own keymap, with extra modifier keys dedicated to accessing such things as a numpad or whatever else strikes their fancy. It's not something I recommend unless you feel really motivated, though, as down that path lies madness.
Some buggers are likely to chime in that they've never used a numpad and that it is useless. To them I say, good for you, dear. As long as it works for you.
>>53482139
as a programmer I really can't understand the need for a numpad. you need to type an actual number so rarely and if you're typing hex you need to reach for the alphas anyway. but if you need it, more speed to you.
>>53482195
My ending comment was a bit heavy-handed and I could have made it more clear that it is directly targeted at people who imply that the numpad is worthless universally. I don't quite feel the need for one myself but I definitely understand that there are those who do, which you seem to understand as well.
I think I read couple of times that pok3r black keycap letters are easier to fade off than the white ones. Aren't they both made by the same process?
>>53482245
might be chemical difference, might be shill-talk, hard to know without source.
>>53482304
Yeh some anons before stated that black caps are worse than white because they are not so resistant..
Didn't pay too much attention back then so now I'm just stuck with this in my mind without the clarity of information.
>>53482245
>>53482362
Let's look at this way: given that you prefer black keycaps to white, would they really rank lower with faded legends? While unfortunate, it becomes a non-issue if you still prefer the black ones.
>>53482440
actually it's kinda tricky.
I like white keycaps, but prefer black case.
So i thought about buying black pok3r and later, when the time comes (spare $$$), buy new set of white keycaps.
And as I think about it now, in that situation, faded legends wont matter at all. I'm just not sure when that time comes.
Just let it die.

>>53482525
Try acting like one. "Manlet" arguments are ridiculous.
Seriously, though, someone who has very wide shoulders to the point where they can't comfortably have the mouse next to a tenkeyless keyboard while gaming or whatever, probably needs a split keyboard anyway, as the steep angle when typing on a normal-sized keyboard (as in normal keys, whether the keyboard is 100% or 60%) has to be even worse than usual.
More importantly, the point about moving the hand between typing and mousing largely remains unchanged no matter the size of the person.
>>53482713
I type one handed because my hand-span is from capslock key to the ' key. I keep my right on my mouse at all times. Solves the problem.
>>53482690

>>53481291
I would but my project is currently on hiatus.
There are some other people who DIY around here too, but there's really not that much to talk about once you're done.
>>53483460
If you press two keys at once on this keyboard you're fucked right? Won't register more than one press at once?
NASTY SOLDER JOINTS YOU SAY?
>>53483768
Not at all, the key matrix and the firmware both allow for NKRO, though you're limited to 6KRO if you use USB
>>53483889
Why not just buy a pcb?
>>53483939
Looking at the matrix, how could you press those 4 keys and they all get registered? Also, the controller is a Teensy? What are the pros/cons?
Did any of you DIY guys ever tried to do it with his own ATmega instead of pre soldered teensy?
>>53484049
l like your solder joints
>>53484262
Dude I just drew a red ring in pain on this image
>>53483460
>>53484049
Not sure why that wouldn't work. The controller recognizes which row and column has been actuated and determines the switches pressed based on that (the wiring to the teensy isn't complete on that image, the columns are also connected to the controller). It's the same design principle as with any other keyboard.
That's as far as my knowledge goes actually. I'm not sure if the firmware on the controller does anything to further prevent issues with KRO, but I can confirm from actually using the thing that 6KRO works.
You can probably tell by my solder joints that I'm quite new to this myself.
>>53481146
by furiously shaking it
>>53484691
Actually by that logic it would not work, because theres 3 wires going to the teensy, it could not register 4 buttons with 3 wires, how it works it's scanning every row and column very fast, thats how KRO works, so it could even register more then 4 keys with 3 wires.

What about memechanical memeboards?
>>53484115
a chinese atmega32u4 board is like $5, making your own controller for a small keyboard is more expensive and takes more work
Kind of looking around for a mechanical keyboard for the first time, and some that are on sale on Newegg seem to have caught my eye - they don't look like ricer shit and they've got the four main switches.
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823201085
Was considering using reds since I'm mostly playing games with some shitposting on Twitter and group chats on the side.
I would like keys that would at least give me that wee bit of click to them, but at the same time I think I should be more worried about getting the keys activated more efficiently. Would browns work in that regard, or should I stick with the reds?
>>53485199
browns don't click, they're tactile, which means they have a slight bump on the way down. if you're typing/gaming at speed, you'll only notice a small difference from reds. it's a matter of personal preference.
>>53485298
Ah, yeah, that's kind of what I meant - I don't really care for the keyboard being super loud or anything, I was just looking for some force feedback. That said, I think I might opt for the reds anyways and if it doesn't suit me I can just as easily swap it out for browns.
Here's to hoping Rosewill doesn't fuck me and I get a busted ass pile of junk - my budget isn't massive so I don't have much else I can opt for.
I hate those tiny little layouts, whats up with those small keyboards? I use numbad on daily basic...
>>53485403

>>53485403
>I'm mad that people can do things in a different way than I do
>>53485403
I barely ever even touched the numpad on my fullsize
>>53485127
Yeah and that is the only expensive part of it. Rest looks trivial.
Of course it takes more work cpt. obvious, like entire DIY stuff.
I'm preparing my own attempt on this project, but first I need to burn couple of cheaper atmegas for training as i barely soldered a thing in my life.
>>53485614
Keep us updated, I'm curious to see how that'll turn out
just harvested the switches from an AEKII, they're somewhat scratchy and inconsistent, the board was not treated well by its previous owner... might just buy some matias switches for my next custom instead
>>53485528
>>53485573
>>53485582
I just don't get the point in making your life harder. Do you also own a 3 inch screen phone? Maybe your dick is 3 inches too, like you are implying, hurr durr thats all I needz.
>>53485629
Sure will.
Unfortunately I'm no longer neet so my free time is reduced. So far I'm flashing back my poor knowledge of AVR's
>>53485744
I'm not sure how a keyboard with less keys makes my life any harder. Why would I waste space between my keyboard and my mouse on a bunch of keys I never use?
>>53484049
you need to use about ten times less solder.
>>53485744
>Pressing one extra key to move to a new function layer is hard
I bet you think using stairs is hard too.
>>53485771
>waste space between my keyboard and my mouse
tiny manlet detected
>>53485744
I actually prefer smaller smartphones, I wish they made more of them. The ideal size is where I can hold my phone in one hand and reach the opposite diagonal corner with the thumb with ease.
>>53485799
>Pressing one extra key to move to a new function layer is hard
Function layers where invented for small space equipment that really could not be made bigger, not like a half ass keyboard.
>>53485744
more seriously, I use an atreus (ergonomic 40%), the tradeoff is that instead of having more keys, it's more portable and I move my hands less (muh ergonomics)
I also use a TKL and a 60% sometimes, people get too worked up about it
>>53485824
Enjoy your armstrain pleb.
>>53485839
Not everyone has a large desk. Imagine someone in a dorm room or someone who wants to bring their keyboard with them and use it somewhere else. There are a number of advantages to small keyboards.
>>53485846
>armstrain
Not like armstrain actually comes from the oposite of moving your arm too little
>>53485824
I'm 1.9 metres tall actually. Though I'm not sure what body size has to do with the distance between the alphas of your keyboard and your mouse.

When you use the tape method to try and stabilize a loose cap, do you put the adhesive side on the stem or facing upwards?
>>53489682
Home key almost looks Like "Meme"
The best.
>>53489992
The best coffee cup stand? Yes.
>>53489931
I'd imagine that you'd put it on the stem of the switch, though it probably wouldn't make a huge difference since it's just about getting something between the keycap and switch stem rather than actually sticking things together.
>>53489931
You're just thickening the stabilizer so tape side down, right? Not 100% sure what you're doing
>>53490046
If the cap is loose, when you touchtype and you tend to hit the key at an angle or on the edges, that makes it wobble to the point it subtly comes off the stem and you start losing strokes. You put a small bit of tape on the stem to make it thicker so that it doesn't slip off.

Hah!
I ordered a set of Vortex Nordic ISO keycaps back in December, but they never arrived and I didn't get any response from the retailer in the 7 messages I sent on their site, email, FB and finally through paypal. So I escalated it to a Paypal claim and finally got my money back some weeks ago. Then I bought the same set on amazon and they arrived two days later.
And now the first set from December arrived. Woop, free keycaps.
Don't buy from corus-kb though, they don't respond at all - buy their stuff through amazon instead.
>>53489870
Yeah you're gonna be pretty fucked finding keycaps unless you buy single keys for the bottom row.
I just ordered one of these. It has black switches, but it's the only model with 24 keys and actual cherry switches.
But I need some custom keycaps. Are there any places that make proper quality PBT custom caps where you can buy 1 at a time? The WASDkeyboards ones are apparently kinda shitty quality.
Anybody else have separate numpads or macroboards like this?
>>53490711
a hackwire is a wire added to a pcb as an afterthought, to connect things that weren't originally planned to be connected, aka to create a hack. a normal wire is just that, a wire used to connect some components to one another.
>>53485403
>I use numbad on daily basic...
Hello Spurdo
>>53490955
There's pimpmykeyboard, they sell blank key packs but it's not exactly cheap.
Other than that there's not much to do other than harvesting from another set. Sometimes you can find separate numpad packs.
There's not enough of a market for fully custom sets and the manufacturing and sorting process gets pretty expensive. If it weren't for the cheap material and printing WASD uses they would probably charge double.
Bought my first mechanical keyboard today (tt poseidon, old version which comes with cherry blues)
I thought the blues would feel harder to press but they turned out to be lighter than my standard rubber dome keyboard. I can't even imagine what red switches would feel like. Loving the click sound tho.

>>53486229

If you can find a non-used model M for cheaper than a unicomp, you'd be pretty stupid not to get it, I agree. I'd say the decision between new unicomp and used model M still comes down to personal preference.

Need some advice on mechanical keyboard choices. I'm looking for a bunch of specific shite so modding will probably be a requirement and price is no issue. Here's what I'm looking for; a TKL formfactor, Cherry MX Clears, sound dampeners, removable cable (to be replaced with flat USB micro-B), LED solder points, front side printed keycaps (preferably double shot, material doesn't matter too much), solid construction (plate mounted switches) and lastly a lack of obnoxious branding.

I just bought what appears to be knockoff white Jelly POM keycaps on Taobao for about $10 (pre-shipping). At least I think they're knockoffs as they're so cheap, and the F and J keys appear to have nubs which I don't believe the original set has.
We'll see when they get here.

Why did you buy shit?
>>53493938
besides the fact that then neither of the keys would work as you want them to?
>>53493931
why would you bring this turd to this thread.

>>53493966
How did you buy on taobao? I can't figure that shit out.
>>53495229
there are some english proxies but it's faster to just use google translate for the few bits you can't understand.

I ruined an led solder pad trying to replace a dead switch.
>>53495466
how do you even ruin a solder pad? i mean, i know how, but how do you manage to do it? it literally happens only if you overheat to infinity or if you pull mechanically without warming things up enough.

Anybody have any experience with Cherry Blue Ducky Minis? I've read a lot of reviews saying that they feel mushy and don't click.
>>53495563
I thought the led was free but one wasnt.
They were PCB mount switches, so I assumed it was just the mount being hard.
Nope. LED came out with one pad.
Shoulda been more gentle but honestly thought I was good.

Do it.

Hi, can you please edit your post to remove that racial slur?
There was literally no reason to use it in the context of this thread. It wasn't funny or clever or interesting, you were just being edgy and offensive for no reason. You don't need to try so hard to fit in, you don't need to pretend to be racist or homophobic just because you're posting on 4chan. No one knows or cares that you've only been here a short while. Just relax and be yourself.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, son.
>>53496428
Haven't seen that one in a while.
>>53480887
be honest with me /g/. I've been thinking about getting one for work, but i don't see the advantage to not just going to the flea market and getting an old one form the 90s and 6 adapters.
Anybody here cast their own keycaps out of resin?

I produce hardware, I don't have the meme degree like you, but even if I was a programmer i would much rather have a 60 percent KB, what is the point of having a number pad for programing anyways?

Are Ducky keyboards still any good? What's a good numpad-less ducky keyboard to get?
>>53481622
oh really? a keyboard that requires more force to push down the keys alleviates your carpal tunnel syndrome?
Anywhere I can buy a pre-assembled ortholinear keyboard? Anything from 40% to TLK size
>>53481266
A year or two of rogue skin flakes and oil alongside pubes is never a pretty sight even if you never eat anything around it
>>53496833
less force to push down and more consistent force.

Can I join the circle jerk? I don't have a good camera, so I tried for like 5 minutes with my v10.
alright /mkg/, help me out please. I'm new as fuck, but I'm building a new battlestation and need to pick a keyboard. In keeping with the buyer's template:
>Budget
>Location (continent at least)
USA
>Preferred switch type
Cherry blue or similar. Tactile and clicky
>Layout
Indifferent
>Form factor
Full size. Numpad at least
>Backlight
No thanks, I don't suck dicks
Also, I'm more than willing to do some DIY work for aesthetic purposes. What should I look into?

Is romer g any good?
(I already own a cherry mx Brown and a topre)
what's with all the hate on these threads recently? I just want to look at and appreciate everyone's keyboards.
>>53498471

>>53498343
Because it's master is obviously a raging faggot who doesn't appreciate electrostatic rubber dome switches.

I really don't understand the font choice for these boards. It's clear they're all made in the same warehouse, but why the boxy bold shitty font? They design the thing with a clean minimal look, but then give it a loud gaymer font. It's fucking retarded.
Go with a fontless or side-printed key-cap. the rainbow underglow will look nice.
