Also, pls stop asking for cheap keyboards with a budget of $50 or less.
Either spend $120 on a nice keyboard now, or spend $70 on a nice budget board and you'll inevitably spend $40 on replacing the shitty stock caps.

I was thinking of getting myself the green or yellow switch in the das keyboard division zero. Has anyone here ever used the board or these switches? I know at the moment they are exclusive and there is nothing that states who actually manufactures them like how razer has kaihl.
>>
For the guy who said he has a coolmaster quickfire rapid i and he replaced the keys and it's perfect. I have a few questions for you if you're still here.

How much did replacing the keycaps cost you?

How do you like the white LEDs?

If you don't mind, could you post a picture of it and if camera can capture it a picture of what it looks like with the LED's in the dark?

I'm stuck between the quickfire TK and the rapid i. I just don't think white LED's would look too good.

Copied from other thread:
Honestly, I have the backlighting turned off mostly, or at lowest brightness setting. I spent ~$50 on some pbt Vortex keycaps in ISO nordic layout, which I'm happy with. The glow effect of the backlighting is nice, since the new keycaps aren't transparent. Can't take pics right now, sorry, maybe when I'm back from work but that won't be in another 10 hours or so.
The good thing about white backlighting is that it's much more subtle and can go with any kind of keycaps, whereas otherwise you're limited to colors that would fit your backlighting.
>>
>>53782348
Yeah actually, I just realized that. White backlighting goes with any color.

What color are the keys that you bought?

Advertised as black, but they're more a very dark grey - which is even better IMO. Goes amazingly with the case (which by the way is fucking delicious, it's top-tier plastic, goddamn it feels good), since the caps are just slightly lighter than the case.
Fuck it, I still have some time before work, here's a pic. I don't have any curtains, so I can't show you in dark area. Currently I have the backlighting on, but set to minimum brightness.
Sorry about the mess.
>>
>>53782489
Hahaha, you don't have to worry about the mess. I appreciate your help.

Why'd you choose that color by the way? Prefer it over the black clear keys that came with it?

I'm tempted to buy it right now because i'm convinced, but i'm still new to mechanical keyboards and I was going to see if bestbuy has a keyboard with MX Blues that I can try out to make sure that I want Blues.
>>
>>53782518
Well, I bought the keycaps thinking they'd be completely black, but was pleasantly surprised that they were not completely black.
Also, the main reason is because I wanted pbt. Once you feel the difference between ABS (which the stock keycaps are made of) and PBT keycaps, you don't ever want to type on ABS again. ABS gets greasy, gets shiny and just feels bad and cheap. PBT literally doesn't get shiny, has great texture always, and are way more durable too.

Also, I ordered these keycaps mostly because it is literally the only fucking set of keycaps with legends in PBT plastic for ISO nordic layout. And not literally in the meme way, literally as in fucking literally. So I was lucky that they actually look and work really nicely. Just don't buy them from corus-kb's website.
>>
The stock keys on the keyboard come with a ANSI layout right?

Would you mind sharing your email so I can ask you about your keys after I get the keyboard (i'll post my email on here and you can just email me) or at the very least reply to this when you're out of work with a link to where you bought your keys from? I'm definitely going to buy some PBT at some point.
>>
>>53782489
sorry for being a faggot,
but what board is that?
>>
>>53782609
The quickfire rapid-i comes in both ISO layout and ANSI layout. Layout is decided by the keyboard, since ISO has 1 more key than ANSI, so you can't just switch it around. But if you're in the US, you're gonna want ANSI.
Generally everything is in ANSI unless explicitly stating it's in ISO. Which is fucking dumb, but 'Murrica.
Feel free to post your email, I'll send you an email then.

Amazon
Vortex PBT ISO nordic layout top-printed (there's a side-printed variant too, which in hindsight I wish I had bought.)
They're good. Just don't buy them from corus-kb's website, buy them from amazon (even though they're supplied by corus-kb, but at least it's managed by amazon).

My Filco Majestouch 2 has paid for itself many times over. Not only is it amazing to type on (Cherry MX Blue), but it stood up to spills and abuse that would have killed three shit-tier keyboards by now.

The feedback feels like crap, go for clears or dampened ALPS.

>>53784682

Top plate is falbatech, rest is from all over the web.

I will be replacing all the planet/swirl keys soon with properly labeled ones though.
>>
>>53784719
jesus... how much time did you spend to scavenge all those keycaps?
also, what switches does it have? wanting to make myself one, but undecided between matias quiet clicks and zealios
>>
>>53784584
Blues would be too loud yes, but clears are better than browns. Browns are blegh.
>>
>>53784437
Vortex makes ISO international PBT caps, if you want legends. If you are okay with blank keycaps, there's a lot of possibilities, since German ISO is the same physical layout as all other ISO.
Also fuck you mechanical keyboard are not a meme.
>>
>>53784706
You can't go wrong with Clears. I haven't personally tried Alps, but you also have to consider that it's much harder to find keycaps for Alps because of the different stem.

Why do you have a scaffolding outside your window? Better yet, why go on it? Maybe it's just me, but I have a rule about standing on rickety above ground wooden structures that are sloppily thrown together (which is the reason I'll never be able to conquer my local state park). Also

>>53784457
I'll give you the spillage but I hated typing on my Filco with MX Blues. That's got nothing to do with Filco, though. However, I do think a $150 keyboard should come with PBT caps rather than shit tier ABS.

I hate climbing on shit; I always end up in excruciating pain, but that's usually because I choose to climb on the wrong things. Also Chinese women are pretty small, so I don't think it should be all that surprising that even if you're small you're still larger than a Chinese female medium. Maybe that's just common sense (or racism) on my behalf.

I have a TK, get the Rapid i
the TK has a non-standard layout which is a pain in the arse(only Maxkeyboards could I get keycaps in the right layout/sizings, ISO UK 6.5u space), and a combined numpad/arrow keys thing which is a pain to use as I never use the numpad anyway

Browns have the weakest tactile bump of all tactile cherries. You'll find them to feel closer to reads than to blues if you type fast and with any amount of force, since you'll just about blow right through the tactile bump.
Hence, dirty reds.

I bought a razer deathadder in 2012 and it has served me well. It does come this dumbass razer bloatware but it allows you to configure the dpi which is nice.

Microsofts intellimouse 1 is suppose to be one of the best fps mouses ever made and zowie attempts to emulate that from what I read. Microsoft does now have an intellimouse 3. Intellimouse 1.1 is like $20 on ebay.

A lot of mice are $40-60 so be prepared to save up. If you're into gaming get optical, if you're just dicking around you could probably find a cheaper

Logitech MX master is suppose to be good but that's damn near $80 and wireless.

What would you recommend over the deathadder and the g402?

What's the difference? Any other recommendations you got?
>>
>>53791433
>>53791482
Razer shit breaks so quickly. I've owned 5 Deathadder mice, all different versions and each one has broken down after 1-1.5 years.
The only reason I didn't stop using them was that the shop always gave me a free replacement because of warranty and strict consumer laws in my country.
>>
are there any keycap sets with a fox color scheme
>>
>>53791845
You mean orange?
>>
>>53791731
I don't know much about the g402, it's suppose to be a decent mouse. In my opinion it doesn't look comfortable but I'm sure you can find some reviews online. My deathadder is comfortable and you can turn off lights on it if they bother you. The only thing is my braided cable frayed (the actual fiber casing, the cable itself is fine). Like I said that logitech mx master is suppose to be good but probably not good for gaming.
>>
>>53791885
yeah, orange/white/black
>>
>>53791905
Not a fan of marble mouses at all.

How long has your deathadder lasted you? I don't want to buy something that will fall apart quickly. I'll take a reliable well working mouse over a cheap flash one with a lot of features any day.

I definitely do game, but none of it is competitive. I just play singleplayer games so the flashy gaming shit doesn't matter much to me.

Got a magicforce coming in my direction, so I'll be replacing the kalih blues on that one with blacks and reds for the modifiers, maybe clears if I can find some good place for them.

The reds belong to a friend, but he put them in my custody since he can't really do anything with them. I'll be replacing the cherry reds on his pok3r together with the switches on my magicforce.

I've also got a split keyboard with RGB underlighting that you can adjust with potentiometers for each half planned. I'm not going to build that anytime soon, but I'm just collecting parts as time goes by since I'm not really in a hurry.

Will probably get a clueboard with matias QC next, I want to make a keyboard with an entirely translucent acrylic case and I also want to try out matias switches.

I still have the receipts. Each time they were out of stock on the old version they let me pay the difference in price (new price, no reduction because of age) and get the new one.
Currently sitting here with a Deathadder Chroma and they fucking paid me back $5 when I got it since it was actually cheaper than the previous. I don't even care about RGB lighting or the next extreme DPI setting they've added.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a comfortable mouse with a good sensor, but damn, they break quickly. One just died out of nowhere, one had the scroll wheel stop registering and two started double clicking (commonly referred to as chattering when it's a keyboard switch). They just sat on my desk where I used them almost daily with no drops or spills.

I just don't get why they insist on, and you idiots keep buying a keyboard that has so much wasted space in the corners.

You can and should easily have 3 evenly sized buttons, maybe even 4, there, but they decide to have one normal size and one 0.8 or whatever, with a gaping hole of nothingness on each bottom corner

why
