what's a good place to buy non-blank iso pbt keycaps?
>>53810534
>ISO
lrn2ansi
>>53810583
>no ">"-button
no thanks
>53810534
Like these http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=113
They have other sets with ISO layouts, just gotta pick up the enter key by itself usually.
Came in a few days ago, loving it so far, still learning to type without bottoming out, clears btw
>>53810621
Here >>>>>>>
>not a single decent keyset
>any year
Anyone use a Planck or similarly small board? I'm thinking of getting one for its portability aspects and would like to know if it's actually feasible. I do primarily development work so having to hide common keys behind layers seems potentially troublesome.
>>53811855
consider a 60%; 40% is too small for programming to be pleasant
>>53811951
Seconded. My Pok3r can feel cramped already, and my pinky gets way more of a workout than it should from trying to scroll aroud.
what the fuck
i'm just getting into mechanical keyboards and i'm trying to buy my first one
and I know I don't need a tenkey
but tenkeyless ones are MORE expensive
i can find dozens of fucking full size led bullshit whatever keyboards for <100$ but i can't find a single 60% mechanical for less than a hundred

Not really feeling these Topres. I'm liking those greens and clears though.
o hai
>>53814478
Greens feel great but I can't imagine living with the noise 24/7. Clears forever.
>material
Ya then done it now. I picked this up from the thrift store.
I have an old keyboard with clicky white apls switches.
It has a din-5 connector. Do you know any way to connect it via usb. Using double converters din-5 to ps/2 and ps/2 to usb will it work?
did you give your keyboard some fresh air today, mkg?
I'm putting keycaps back on, and the keycap numberings for the bottom alpha row is R1 1 or R1 2. What is the difference? They look the same.
Sorry for the bad quality picture. The numbers are quite small
>>53815383
You're supposed to put them on in order from left->right.
>>53815427
I was cleaning and just piled them up not thinking about it. Also, all of them are either r1-1 or r1-2 for the bottom alpha row. There isn't r1-1—>r1-10
>>53815295
nah
>>53815149
Need to know what protocol it uses, DIN->PS2 with an active USB converter like the blue cube will work for AT boards. Other stuff like XT needs a soarer's converter or something custom.
>>53815149
1. A lot of old keyboards draw too much power for that.
2. It has to be an active PS/2 to USB adapter.
3. #2 will be fine if the keyboard is AT, but might not if it's XT.
Surefire solution is to buy/make a soarer's converter.
>>53810626
You don't have to if you don't want to. Clears are some of the easiest to not bottom out on because they are actually really heavy at the bottom compared to the rest of the regular cherry line.

>>53815790
>>53817017
why not?
Should I go for the 55g or 45g realforce keyboard?
>>53816261
Yeah, I knew what I was getting, I bought a tester before buying a board.
I ended with clears because I tend to slam the keys and I prefer their bump compared to browns.
The thing is that I believe if I learn type without bottoming out I would probably increase my typing speed and make typing less tiring.
>>53817749
just buy a 10 dollar quietkey and save yourself the money
>>53818316
The newer meme is that BTC slider over dome feel the exact same as Topre, not the QuietKey. Though both are old at this point, I think we need to find another vintage dome to trick people into buying.
I don't need a mechanical keyboard I'm gonna get a normal one, recommend me a normal one
>>53817749
Realforce switches = Logitech rubber domes
At least get some cherry/cherryclone keyboard
>>53818424
Tony, i know where you live

I could have gotten a realforce but would have to have waited a couple of months. You faggots told me the NT is fine. I don't even have PBT like the realforce.
>>53818330
there's always mitsumi hybrid and fujitsu dome with alps slider
i'd put money on it that topre tards couldn't tell the difference in a blind test with at least one.

>>53818555
Why would I use a trackball over my mx master
Serious question I need validation
>>53818601
why don't you just get some new keycaps?
>>53818468
Come over Patti ;)
I can open your eyes to shit meme keyboard switches
>>53819081
I could but by that point it will be the 160 + 20 tax and I am really paying the ass for this damned board I purchased mostly for ergonomics. The realforce would have been something like 200 and that makes getting proper caps more expensive. Also selling the extra spacebars that shit came with.
I went and tried some shitty razer at the video game convention and am ashamed to say I actually liked how it was, just the very light amount of force for my feeble fingers I guess. Probably browns. Topre is very nice still but I can't justify the price.
Noob to mech boards. I bought pic related when it hit $45. This is the gen 1 version too. Old enough that it uses Mini-USB and not micro. Still using it to this day with zero problems. Been contemplating new caps though and I don't know where to even begin looking for caps that would fit this board as I do know there are diferent sizes/shapes.
>Inb4 gaymer keyboard
I bought it when I was like 17 and was saving my pennies from my ahit minimum wage job. $45 for a mech board from a name brand company was a god send and I'm loathe to toss fully functional tech.
>>53819125
But.. why would you get a Novatouch if you don't intend to use custom keycaps on it? That's kind of the point, and I thought it was relatively well known that the stock Novatouch keycaps were a bit shitty.
>>53819125
>>53819171
this
why did you buy it if not for the mx compatible stems?
>>53819202
>>53819171
It wouldn't have to wait a couple of months and I really didn't think I would care about the caps.
They seem fine. Maybe I would realize how shit they are when I have PBT. For some reason I suspect i am not having a real topre experience because of the MX stems and ABS caps fucking it up.
>>53819262
topre caps are thin pbt and really don't feel all that different from abs
>>53815790

Sorry, I don't usually post here despite owning a mechanical keyboard, buuuutttt...
I made a slight mistake and bought the Tex Beetle, which is a great keyboard in its own right, but seems to have non-standard sized keycaps on some of the keys. Am I fucked or are there options I'm unaware of?
>>53819064
Did you get your viper prebuilt did you get a kit?
>>53819065
It feels better i guess, I also have a Mx master for occasionally gaming tho
>>53819465
Yeah you're gonna have a hard time replacing keys for your bottom row.
It is possible to get 1u (1 unite wide) fn-keys etc. for bottom row, so in that regard you just need to look a bit and/or buy single keycaps. But I don't think it's going to be as easy to find a new spacebar in that length.
Also, if you go with blank keycaps you'll have a much better chance. Something you can do is buy a set of blank keycaps that come with a numpad - since the numpad two bottom rows has exactly 5 1u keys in the same profile (since the bottom two rows and top two rows use the same profile in all profiles I know of), and you have exactly 5 non-standard modifier keys on your bottom row.
>>53819624
Wait, sorry, the numpad only has 4 standard 1u keys in the bottom rows.
>>53819624
Thanks. How can I generally tell the dimensions of my key caps? Is it just a guessing game?
>>53819594
>Did you get your viper prebuilt
No, I bought the kit in the first groupbuy on GeekHack.
>>53819743
There's only so many different sizes. The rest of your keyboard seems pretty standard (except I just noticed your right shift is also only 1u, rip), so it's mostly just your bottom row.
You should be able to tell the sizes just by comparing to charts online or something. My guess would be that your left ctrl and left alt are 1.25u (which is standard for those, thankfully) while the rest of bottom row is definitely 1u. As to your spacebar, it looks like it's 4.25u, whereas standard spacebars are 6u I believe. But knowing that, you can probably just google 4.25u spacebar keycap and probably find something.
>>53819894
just checked, standard spacebars are 6.25u
Has anybody here had carpal tunnel syndrome? I'm developing it in my right hand it seems. Any tips would be appreciated. It is suffering not being able to type all day.
you know this new format is actually pretty nice. I know its a joke but I like it quite a bit
>>53819936
how do you know that you are developing it? What are the signs for you for this?
>>53819936
>>53819936
there you go.
>>53820026
For about two weeks now I've been feeling pain in my right hand fingers and loss of strength and some numbness. Even if it's not carpal tunnel, It's disruptive and I want to make it stop.
>>53820045
Thanks.
>>53815869
>>53815880
How do I check if it's AT or XT?
At the moment I'm writing on this Poker II w/ mx blues, white leds, orange led covers and Razer Blackwidow caps...
>>53820389
But I got these Razer Green switches that I'll be using for a 61-key and a 39-key keyboard once I get the rest of the parts, and that's when I'll sell the Poker II.
What color should I paint the case?
>>53819262
Just buy a $25 set of vortex PBT and be done. You probably don't like topres though if you don't think the novatouch feels good. 55g topre is better though.
>>53820446
White
>>53820389
Just buy a AT to PS/2 adapter probably work
Oh man, you know what would be neat? An escape keycap with the 4chan logo. Does any place sell single PBT keycaps with custom images? wasdkeyboards only seem to have ABS.
>>53820446
white. white is best with miami caps.
>>53820422
its nice to see something different
still not a fan of the font on razer caps but its pretty cool.
>>53820422
Wait, so what's the difference between poker II and pok3r?
I already asked in the sqt but with no success:
Got a Filco JIS layout yesterday (like pic related but tkl).
Is there a way to fit a larger space bar (using one of the two FN keys)?
And can I modify the Kana key to have something useful there? How?
>>53820555
just embrace the cool layout m8 don't be tryna fuck it up with normie spacebars
>>53820540
After using the default Ducky caps for so long this is a welcome mix up :)
>>53820548
No idea :/
>>53820738
how the fuck did you let it get that dirty
>>53820738
Jesus christ, don't use your keyboard as a plate.
>>53820597
I can live with that but at least would be possible to find a different use for the kana key?
>>53820758
Can't really see the shit that's there and it wasn't bothering typing.
>>53820782
I try my best, but it had been too long since my last cleanup ;/

Differences on the function layer (for example the arrow keys are on ijkl on pok3r and on wasd on II), the pok3r can be programmed with longer macros (32 keystrokes instead of 24 I believe) not shitty "enjoy your feeling" logo on the spacebar on the 3. There are more I think but those are the ones I can remember right now.
>>53823040
Thanks. My logitec is aeons old and still works cept for some missing keys. Will they last me for 5 years at least?
In the company I work, we made a community of meckeyboards.."The Gathering"
>>53823091
>Will they last me for 5 years at least?
Yes, though there's a certain risk that you'll be replacing them just because you get into mechs as a hobby and decide that your perfectly fine mechanical keyboard is just not good enough and that you need some fancy ass korean custom or something of the sort.
>>53823115
what's that iso keyboard with the floating key design?
Are you the guy with the pok3r? You can tell how much each keyboard owner is into the hobby just by looking at their boards.
>>53823130
Propably by that time I'll have enough disposable income anyway.
Thanks for the reccomendations. Everyone's elses input will still be considered and valued tho!
>>53823151
Damn, you nailed it. Yes I am.
The floating key design is Ozone Strike battle Keyboard.
>>53816594
Did you know that this is illegal as per the FTC? They actually have to get your permission to delay it.
Email them and get your money back AND the keys. Or file with the FTC so this shithole site gets their act together.

cherry
so i got some ideas for a 60% board
Quick question,
are there any good 60% keyboards on Aliepxress?
do you love me now?
are you proud of me now /mkg/?
i understand mechanical keyboards, they are nice and i own one myself since i type a lot. but i cant understand one thing. these poker pieces of shit. you pay more for a smaller keyboard, whats the point? dont say "its more portable", im sure you fatsos travel a lot with them eh?
this is reddit pc masterrace tier cringe material especially when keys are replaced with some bullshit colorful ones.
>>53830513
what the everloving fuck am I looking at
>>53830513
No, it looks like shit. Should've just got Retro SA.
>>53830558
Less hand movement, less space taken on your desk for keys that you don't use.
And pok3rs are more expensive because of the aluminum case and the stock pbt caps.
60% keyboards are more expensive in general since there's a smaller market for them than there is for full size/tkl keyboards, since those are the main choice for gaymurs, who make up a large part of the mechanical keyboard userbase.
>>53830049
Are you the guy who wants ISO? Because I don't think I've seen ISO with backlighting (someone might have to correct me here), only ANSI.
There is also the fact that Pok3r RGB is supposed to be release soon I think. So maybe it's worth to wait for that to arrive.
Personally I find backlit useful because I find myself sitting in the dark so fucking often
>>53830565
>>53830578
o-ok ill keep working on it you guys
>>53830558
Antithetical value? Personally I think that 60% are the most attractive ones, I own a TKL keyboard and they also look pretty nice.
Also how is that cringey at all? Someone likes something and you must interupt to say how hideously cringey it is that they enjor their keyboard? Where is the cringe? You just seem like a oversensitive manchild.
>>53830610
>Because I don't think I've seen ISO with backlighting
I can confirm this. Vortex doesn't seem to have molds for doubleshot iso (though they do seem to have molds for iso caps which they then laser print), hence the backlit version that comes with doubleshot abs caps is only available in ANSI.
>>53830610
Yeah I'm that guy, found this one.

>>53830649

>>53830674
Guess I'll have to correct myself on this here >>53830658
Hopefully we'll be seeing some nice pbt doubleshots in iso from vortex in the future.
>>53830674
oh cool, I actually hadn't seen them before.
Because as >>53830658 pointed out they have't sold even replacement keycaps in ISO that are for backlighting.
>>53830609

why do people cringe when they see some fat fuck wearing a fedora and posing with katana? maybe its attractive to him?
> I think that 60% are the most attractive ones
you use your keyboard or take pictures so you can circlejerk on reddit about it?
>>53830701
Yeah I feel the same. The PBT doubleshots in iso would be lovely.
>>53830721
stop hatin, pok3rs are the best
>>53829052
less hurr durr im a 1337 h4x0r, look at me im so special with that small keyboard
>>53830674
The only question is what kind of keycaps they are. Because the images doesn't seem to be normal Vortex keycaps
Where can I buy leopold fc660m with clears?
Do I dare to order it from banggood?
>>53830721
Haha no I've never posted any pictures on my keyboard. However, since this thread is specifically for people into mechanical keyboards I don't judge anyone who post their keyboards. I mean if the thread is for people who has mechanical keyboards as their hobby it's only logical they might post pictures of their own.
Any forum for a hobby should be expected to have pictures from the users "collections" or whatever.
I suggest that if you find that cringey then maybe it's not for you? It's very logical really, just don't post or lurk here if you don't find it beneficial.

whhy?
What kind of lube do you use for stems and stabilizers? Can you buy it in a regular hardware store?
>>53830721
>how do you use the free space?
putting my trackpad and mouse closer to space on which I actually type.
>>53830748
pok3r's are nice.

What should I replace my Razer greens with? Gateron clears or greens?
>>53831195
Just get a new keyboard.
>>53831137

wat
Realistically, will the green set on massdrop hit its goal by 2 days from now? I like the colorway a whole lot but I'll just buy something else if it won't go through
>>53831351
Wait, were you expecting the stepped capslock to have a centred stem?
>>53831371
Seems unlikely, but why don't you just wait?
>>53831382
Why shouldn't it? How is it even usable otherwise?
>>53831437
Most keyboards that use a stepped capslock have an offset stem.
>>53831468
Offset switch, I mean.
>>53831351
Looks like it's time to get a keyboard with an offset capslock.
Take a look at the cherry mx board 3.0
>a 6.0u space included
"woew perfect for my fucking non standard razer"
>the stems are more off center than the capslock
>>53831523
It included normal caps lock as well, I just wanted to try the staggered one out
Why are PCBs without holes for PCB switches so standard?
>>53832342
Because they need as much space they can get for traces.
>>53832562
I only have plate keyboards but it would be nice to not have to the pcb "stems" left on the switches if I ever wanted to go plateless
good news: I nabbed a new model M
meh news: it's ISO
good news: my old model M can probably still be fixed
bad news: I'd have to bolt it
did prep today, tomorrow drilling and assembly
jesus fuck is this tedious

I use a Apple Extended Keyboard. I made an adapter with a Teensy 2.0 board. There is a tutorial on geekhack.
MK.com Tex aluminum case came in. This thing has fucking heft. My keyboard is a bludgeoning weapon now.
My only complaint is there's no real obvious place to mount a microUSB connector if your TKL has one, but the case comes with a stock PVC USB cable that plugs directly into the board instead (next pic).
>>53833694
>>53833713
>>53833713
just resolder it? it's still the same wiring, just a different connector.
>>53833794
[nospoilerson/g/]What if I've never handled a soldering iron, anon[/spoilers]
>>53819936
It really does suck having carpal tunnel. The best tips I can give are: fix your posture, wrist pad for typing, lots of exercising, and if you really think it's bad, go to a physical therapist. These all helped me alot
>>53834110
>wrist pad for typing
Don't rest your wrists while typing.
>tfw live in the 3rd world and can't find any place that stocks mech keyboards so I can test before I buy
>Own 2 fullsize mech keyboards already, a MX blue and a nonfictional MX brown that I spilled shit on and fucked it up
I want to change to a 10 keyless keyboard for gayems, I've heard reds are "better" for this but I have no ability to test it before hand.
What do? Should I order a 10 keyless red and hope for the best or get one that I already know how it feels?
>>53833777
What keyboard is that? Its a filco case, right? Is it backlit or its only the camera flash?
Btw, I also bought a filco aluminum case, but mine was from aliexpress. I think I like the design better, without this gap on the midle of the case. It will probably take some weeks to arrive tho.
>>53833892
you could get someone else to do it for you, soldering a micro usb on an actual board isn't something you want to do on your first time.
>>53834554
Tex aluminum case from MK.com on a CODE 87-key with greens. Filco's form factor is almost identical to the WASD v2's, and the CODE is just a WASD v2 with some extra bells and whistles.
>>53834648
just a wasd v2 with backlighting*
can someone recommend me a keycap manufacturer that has nice stuff and wont be shipping to me in fucking july
>>53834791
What country u in?
>>53834821
land of the free
>>53834844
Well you've got the most options
Are you just looking for normal keycaps or special form?
www.pimpmykeyboard.com have a few DSA, SA and G20 in stock
Otherwise just search something like "doubleshot pbt" on amazon and take your pick if you like normal form
>>53834844
www.mechanicalkeyboards.com also has a range of good stuff I think
I mean it should be super easy to find if you're USA
>>53815790
what the one in the front? I'm looking or this size of keyboard
I found a mitsumi electric keyboard for 5 bucks.
At first I thought I hit it big with a $5 Alps board, but it turned out to be a mitsumi hybrid switch.
It feels really nice, despite having the tactility of a rubber dome.
What is this switch, even?
>>53834919
It's a standard TKL (Ten keyless)
It could be a Filco by the placing of the CAPS/Scroll leds I guess
Similar keyboards are:
Filco Majestouch 2
CM Storm Rapid-I
CM Storm MasterKeys S
And a lot of others
>>53834967
it's an upside-down topre
feeling your enjoy
fmuf
>>53834919
its a wasd with DSA caps
i suggest you get a filco TKL instead
>>53834967
Its a buckling rubber sleeve.
>>53830513
>>53835024
god damn the dolch looks sweet. wish i had the set.
>>53835372
i think its still available
I bought the $40 Magicforce with Outemu Black switches, it came in yesterday.
Jesus Black switches, it's like when I moved from Browns to Clears. Heavy switches are so much better.
WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE A NAMEFAG IN HERE?
I don't know which one to chose between the Noppoo nano 75-S, the ajazz geeks AK33 82 key or the magicforce 68key. ANy other recommandation with this form?
>>53835429
>posting as anonynous
What a loser.
>>53835393
yeah it is, but I usually order in bulks since the yuropean import tax is lower that way.
>>53830513
What the fuck? Are those C64 keycaps?
Who /reds/ here??
>>53828363
KBT pure pro
