Is the Ducky Mini a good keyboard?

Well if you're looking for a 60% with some nifty features and 2 color leds and the bevel does't bother you sure.

Ducky is generally known for good keyboards, so yeah, go for it.

Keyboard noob here, I'm thinking about selling my 3 years old Cherry Blue Filco M2 to get another keyboard (I'm thinking something more silent and more compact, and I want to try topre), how much do you think I can ask and should I go with a Topre keyboard ?
>>
>>53505499
10$. I'd buy it for 15, if you want.

>>53505368
because they're popular

(if you like them just ignore /g/)

>>53505368
The tactile bump of browns is miserable compared to other tactile cherries, which is why they're referred to as dirty reds.
>>
is this keyboard really that bad or just overpriced for what it is?
>>
>>53505612
sub-par switches
sub-par build quality

>>
>>53505612
The bottom row is non-standard so you'll have trouble finding aftermarket keycaps, it uses chink knockoff switches (while being sold at the same price that it had when it used cherries) and has macro keys and a disgusting font on the keycaps. The design screams gaymen all over the place.

If you actually care about keyboards (and don't have a horrible sense of aesthetics), then yes, it's not a good keyboard.

Been using razor blackwidow blue switches and need a keyboard for the office for programming work. I like the feel of the blues but people are going to murder me if I bring it into the office.
Should I go with cherry mx reds or browns? Fry's is like 2 blocks from my office and I'm ready to head in right now.
Looking at http://www.frys.com/product/8518049?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG since it's cheap and has good reviews.

You're going to look like a manchild if you show up in your office with a keyboard that screams gaymen all over the place.

OK, so I recently bought a used keyboard on Ebay. Cherry MX 3.0, red keyswitches. I am planning on using it for typing, mostly, not gaming (got a controller for that). What should I expect? Will they be too soft? Or too non-tactile? It should be in the mail this week, expected delivery is 23.3.2016

This, bought 2 weeks ago Cherry mx Brown for 90€, absolutely awesome.
I even prefer it to the topre switches, which are really good but i wanted the bump and a full mechanical keyboard.
Basically if you are going to buy Red switches you should go with topre

Also, a stupid question: Can you swap the individual switches without soldering?

very very rarely. 99.99% of the time no.
>>
>>53517006
Reds are basically the lightest, i don't feel very comfortable with them, i prefer the topre, which are similar but better

Its not. It has a aluminum plate only. Bottom case is plastic, top case is non existent (aka floating switch bullshit). Varmilo has a steel backplate, and a CNC aluminum case, top and bottom.

Also, thick PBT dyesub cherry profile stock keycaps, and one of the best soldering job avalible (Leopold OEM).

Ducky probably wouldnt have a better construction.
Costar made keyboards, like Rosewill, Filco and original quickfire are godtier. Just get some nice keycaps, and Im pretty sure it will last forever.

I've tested a real force keyboard and I really like the plastic and texture of the keys. Does the HHKB share the same quality and feeling of the keys?

Does the slight roughness wears out, living completely smooth polished keys? It happen in my thinkpad keyboard after few years of usage.

Is there a way to fix this thing coming off? In europe so much harder to find spare replacement caps, and the keyboard is a zalman so good luck in finding spares from them.

My Poker 3 just arrived, so now it's time to wash my Poker 2 key caps.

You are right, it feels great.
>>
>>53521679
Well the bezel is great.
Media keys which I actually use frequently and most of the other 60% dont have.
Some form of backlit.

Other choice was the poker but that doesnt seem to have what I mentioned about
>>
>>53522575
the pok3r has

- single LED backlit option
- PBT caps if no backlight, ABS caps if yes backlight
- media keys in the function layer (they're not labeled though because they added them in a firmware update)
- programmability
- no bezel

ducky mini has
- dual color LED
- extra keycaps
- media controls that are labeled I guess
- mouse emulation
- dat bezel
- slightly cheaper

the pok3r I'd say has slightly more functionality given the programmability, but given that it's slightly more expensive I'd say the two are definitely comparable, so go for whichever you like more

also consider the KBP v60. plastic case but you can also get it with Matias Alps switches if you like those

What about the switches. Used blues, it felt to lightweight and too childish. Currently using reds. Good for games, but honestly it's really shit for typing. I wanna try clears for typing.

why did you get reds if blues were too light for you?

>>53523417
yes if you get caps elsewhere.

>>53504771
Just ordered a Deck Hassium with MX Blues, looking forward to finally having a decent keyboard to type on.
>>
>>53523379
>too childish

that's a dumb thing to say

anyway, clears are very noticeably heavier than browns (which are similar weight to reds) so make sure you know what you're getting into
>>
Anyone got the image of the matrix of Cherry switches ordered by tactile/weight ratings with faggy commentary about reds being for gamers and browns being reds with dirt?

does anyone else prefer mx browns over blues?

My Poker 3 arrived today! First KB with MX Clears, def going to take some getting used to.

I'll see if I can just get used to it, but I might have to tape over/remove the program layer LED, as I'll be spending all of my time on layer 2 so I can swap some keys around, and having that blue LED on all of the time isn't the most pleasant thing.
>>
>>53524207
why?
please explain

>>53524532
Because I assume people buy them because they look "prettier" and more "minimalistic" even though they are less functional.

>>53524207

Why would you even use a numpad at home?
