right where they belong.
First for keyboards that aren't actually mechanical.
>>54087059
>they fell for the gamer keyboard meme
hehe fuggen normans roooo xD
>>54087140
sweet board bro.
>>54087159
backwards space bars is like wearing your fedora backwards LOL.
>>54087185
it's a comfortable meme though
Why would I want to slam my thumb into a jagged edge when I could just not do that instead?
>>54087231
Soft weak hands? You should have gotten cheap rubber domes ... oh wait.
>>54087231
if you type properly that wouldn't happen.
I'll never get this meme. I mean sure, typing on these feels good, but it doesn't feel ~$100 good.
The durability is also out of the equation, since with the price you pay for a Mechanical keyboard, you can buy like 30 generic keyboards which will probably outlast you.
I just don't get it, why would someone waste this much money on a keyboard?
Unless they're extremely rich and need new ways of burning money. It's either that or they're slaves to the consumerism.
>>54087272
just to enjoy it. welcome to a hobby anon.
>>54087059
>BTC is a meme edition
mechanical keyboards in general are a meme
>>54087285
meme the meme that you meme'd to meme anon.
>>54087059
My dad threw away a bunch of beige keyboards that sounded like typewriters (almost like the one on the OP) last weekend and at night this chubby stranger wearing a trench coat and a hat came to rummage our bins. We called the cops but he was gone by then.
Daily reminder to fall for the Planck meme.
>>54087282
>his hobby is buying expensive keyboards
OH MAN I LAUFHED.
I use a Logitech G510. Will switching make a huge difference for me or is this actually a good rubberdome keyboard? I know mechanicals will always be better/different, but I don't know what to expect.
>>54087305
sounds hot
>>54087267
Is my form shit, senĪ?
>>54087059
Should I take my keyboard for a walk? Should I give it a bath?
>>54087330
>Will switching make a huge difference for me
Depends on how strong your faith in meme magic is
>>54087347
Yeah but keep it on a leash!
>>54087330
>better
nah just different mate. But you have to be different or else you're a normie! we can't accept normies!
>>54087347
>Bath
Yes, you don't want a dirty keyboard.
>Walk
Only if it's a 60% or smaller. Anything else is too big to move around easily. The 60% needs the exercise to release it's build up energy.
>>54087325
I'm sorry for your poor
>>54087362
my keyboard (I named him Blues) makes too much noise when I take it outside to the point where I get complaints from neighbors.
>>54087330
>Logitech G510
A mechanical will feel nice. That's the only reason to buy one.
>>54087402
You should have gotten a rubber dome breed.
>>54087400
i'm sorry for your are stupid.
>>54087282
So you're basically admitting that's unjustifiable?
I just don't fucking get it.
For example. When /g/ says that SSD's are a meme, we all know they're actually an excellent upgrade for any computer. When i bought one, i was like, nice!.
When they said that 16GB or RAM is also a meme, we also know that there are a lot of ways in which you CAN fill those 16GB.
But this is just a keyboard man... a fucking keyboard...
>>54087341
What razer is that?
what's a good bang for buck plain 60% mechanical?
>>54087429
Maybe an oring collar will do the trick
I wanted a Topre breed but I heard they are just more expensive imported rubber dome breeds with little other advantage besides being able to show them off
>>54087462
b-but muh fingerfeel
can anyone here think of anything more insignificant than the "feel" of a keystroke?
I literally can't
>>54087475
Huh? The keyboard is a Realforce 87UB 55g, if that's what you're asking.
>>54087478
>bang for buck
>mechanical
>60%
It's not very bang for the buck when you get a mechanical and even less so when you're only getting 60% of the functionality.
>>54087478
I'd say to just get a pok3r.
>>54087511
it is if you're considering compactness. i have a wacom intuos and a roland midi keyboard to put on my table. i need space froglet.
>>54087507
Oh, i've never heard of it. Why don't you get a razer?
>>54087526
Maybe you should get a bigger desk so you can have the functionality and save money.
>>54087462
I do it because I like the durability, the feel, and sound of them as well as the fun of building a custom board.
Yeah, I guess from an outside view it could seem a little hard to justify, but w/e.
>>54087462
i think they feel nice, but some people just don't care. of course it's just a keyboard. like what the fuck did you actually expect? Thinking that you could actually improve your typing speed?
>>54087551
im already planning to get this ikea galant which is 30 x 60 inches and with my queen size bed there's just not enough space. also is this a good table?
>>54087531
A Razer keyboard? Because I like Topre more than Cherry MX, let alone questionable clones of them, and I don't really care for Razer's aesthetic style.
>>54087493
Yeah i adopt just regular rubber domes, they're much cheaper and are just as cute! They're even trained not to make so much noise.
>>54087590
The only problem with regular rubber domes is that they don't tend to live as long as their more expensive counterparts. Furthermore, a lot of them having problems doing tricks like rolling over, especially if you want them to roll over multiple times in a row.
Hi guys
Anyone know where to find individual switches, cheap?
I'm thinking about making new keyboard for my old Amiga since conductive foil died and regular board doesn't work anymore.
I would probably buy new set of keys since old ones wouldn't attach.
>>54087568
Why do people get such lame hobbies? I mean i get that you're white and being basic comes natural but even white people can do exciting things.
>>54087455
>stupidity is having a hobby and spending money on it
what a boring life.
Are there any mech keyboards out there with the "island style" keycaps, like the older thinkpads, in pic? This must exist right?
I do NOT want tall keycaps that are found in most mechs, and I fucking hate chiclet. Bonus points if the keyboard is tenkeyless.
>>54087629
a boring hobby that just makes you sit at your desk all day.
>>54087585
You must be poor to reject razer like that. It's okay though, maybe someday you'll save up!
>>54087617
Rolling over is just a meme without any use. My rubber dome doge has lived for 10 years now. I don't see what the problem is, they seem healthy. I guess it's just one of those pure breed last longer meme people perpetuate.
>>54087621
>>54087642
>not having more than one hobby.
I mean, I also build cars. but this is a keyboard thread.
>>54087621
>stop liking what I don't like
Here's your reply :^)
>>54087659
it's not a matter of poor but value vs. quality.
>go to cheaper keys
>keep same price
yeah no
what's better for a 50/50 mix of typing and gaming, browns or clears?
Plz don't be retarded and say blacks or blues
>>54087639
"Island style" means the same think as "chiclet keys".
>>54087710
It literally doesn't matter
>>54087710
Why would you get mechanicals for gaming anyways? They're so loud your gamer friends will hate you... unless of course you don't have friends.
Shitposters are in full force today boys!
Also, is the TRS-80 guy in here? Curious to see how that's coming along.
>>54087735
>mechanical keyboards are loud
love this meme
>>54087735
jfc just use reds or something. can't even hear them unless you mash and haven't put o-rings on
>>54087639
Have you considered getting DSA profile keycaps?
>>54087659
Whatever floats your memes, familia
>>54087639
Cherry MX-Board 3.0 is what you want, if you can accept a non tenkeyless keyboard. It's mechanical (available in MX-red, blue, black and brown) and has a low profile height (smallest keycaps that are possible for cherry mx switches)
>>54087731
well, refer to the picture. That's the style I'm looking for.
>>54087617
>like rolling over
r u memeing me m8?
Hi guys, i like to spend lots of money on memes *holds up tube amp* x3. Anyways i'd like to buy a decent keyboard meme that will impress other keyboard enthusiasts. I want a straight out of the box experience. What keyboard should i get?

>>54087758

Never heard of that. What are those?

>>54087767
Well the key travel kindof necessitates tall caps. If you want a thinkpad keyboard for your desktop, just get the one manufactured by lenovo.
http://www.amazon.com/ThinkPad-USB-Keyboard-with-TrackPoint/dp/B002ONCC6G
>>54087798
Just Google DSA Profile. They're relatively flat keycaps, you could buy them and put them on any cherry MX board, including a tenkeyless. I think >>54087760 is a bit flatter though.
>>54087767
Those are just low-profile with standard spacing.
Something like the Cherry ML4100 will get you mechanical keys and that same look.
>>54087578
well its a small ass table still.
Friends,
Where can I purchase a good ALPS keyboard that isn't Matias? Thanks.
>>54087893
Ebay or second hand stores.
You will only find vintage boards if you want to avoid matias though.
>>54087893
considering alps switches are out of production and even matias makes their own now
no
Guys my mom says i'm typing too loud with my mechanical keyboard. Have a listen (https://clyp.it/3whzjjry). I told her to fuck off and build better walls. God i wish i could vote for trump, he'd know how to make a good wall.
>>54087893
Why do you want ALPS? I picked up this with White Alps a few weeks ago for free, and it honestly just feels like worse Cherry MX Blues. Worse due to the fact that some keys, most notably Caps Lock and Tab, have difficulty with key-travel if you not hit directly on center. There's also the fact that the keyboard as a whole is a bit inconsistent feeling at times.
mechanical keyboards seem to have the same problem as mattresses: how the fuck do you know which kind you want before you buy?
is there some place you could go irl to get a feel for the different kinds of switches or whatever options mech keyboards have? and even then, would a brief typing test reveal how they would feel to you after a few days/weeks of daily use? or is this an exclusively richfag hobby for people that can afford to buy-to-try everything under the sun and waste hours and hours of effort and hundreds of dollarydoos on the endless permutations available till finding the perfect fit?
>>54087893
Plenty of AEKII, Leading Edge, and Monterey ALPS boards on ebay for <50 right now
>>54087760
>Cherry MX-Board 3.0
European key layout. God damnit.... that's a deal breaker
>>54087889
I'm too poor to afford bigger.
>>54087936
or get some o-rings
>>54087954
You can buy a switch tester from Amazon (or aliexpress for cheap as fuk)
Of course these only usually include Cherry and clone switches, it's a lot harder to find ALPS, hall effect or buckling spring boards to try.
>>54087950
>Blues
Sorry, meant to say worse Cherry MX Greens.
The complicated white alps switches have a fairly strong actuation force.
>>54087954
>mattresses
Mechanical keyboards are like old creaky spring mattresses that make noise every time you move where as rubber domes are space age tempur pedic mattresses
>>54087954
Not included in this guide: Topre
>>54087954
>get a feel for the different kinds of switches
That's what I did, and then I realized that mechanical keyboards are just a meme since they still just feel like cheap plastic shit. From the amount of hype I saw from autismos I was expecting some 1911-trigger type shit. But it's just a meme.
>>54087950
Sadly that can be a problem with vintage alps.
I've had white alps boards that felt worse than any cherry switch only to get an almost brand new one that felt better in every way.
>>54087982
Where are the LEDs?
>>54087963
well then see if you find some old ass furniture for free somewhere and reuse it. pic related, but old
>>54088014
Is that a guide to memes?
>>54087950
At a certain point they stopped using the more expensive dry-lube on white ALPS. These tend to feel much worse than the earliest examples, especially if they're dirty (your board has seen better days)
>>54088036
Yes.
>>54088014
why is this image shitting on browns? Whats wrong with them?
>>54087982
I don't get how people program on these. You must program in java to live with one of these useless keyboards.
>>54087982
I for one think your keyboard is really pretty.
>>54088054
it's a meme you dip. They're all just as bad.
lmao at the meme-bait, keep it up sunday school babbys
>>54088072
The narwhal bacons at midnight... hello brother.
>>54087962
they are available in US layout too.
>>54088084
Right? Its amazing how dedicated they are.
Best angle for the keyboard? mine is 30°
>>54087982
where can I get caps like that

Pretty sure it was a group buy forever ago on geekhack or something.
>>54088169
You gotta get into the memes.
anyone here ever use a leopold? are they decent?
It arrived!
Cherry clears are pretty nice, now I have to dessolder everything and transplant them to my Filco.

How the fuck do you slam your thumb into a jagged edge? Seriously, I don't understand.
>>54087797
Wow, they actually do make mechanical keyboards with keys that low in profile? When I was first getting into mechanical keyboards somebody told me that keyboards like that didn't exist, and by now I'm too used to typing on normal keyboards to go back to low profile caps like that.
>>54087982
Looks really nice. Wonder if it would've looked any better with a white board, though.
>>54088328
Christ, what's the point of that?
>>54088243
when you'e so deep into memes that you start buying deprecated tech from ebay that needs several adapters to make it work.
>>54088370

>Christ, what's the point of that?
it's nice to have all the frequently used special chars, macros, etc. with no need of shift, control or alt.
This jarltech POS-Keyboard is ull programmable, so for example i also put a ', ' (comma space) key next to the num-pad.
>>54088370
See how my thumb is hitting the edge?
>>54088569
PICK UP YOUR WRISTS FUCK.
>>54088243
What board is that? Looks awesome
>>54088238
Yeah, pretty gud. Good soldering, nice PBT keycaps, standard layout and a decent case.
A little overpriced on the west tho, you can get a Varmilo for much cheaper that is made by the same OEM, and comes with the same keycaps.
>>54088264
Not that uncommon. Search "Chyron" on ebay and a bunch of results will come. I think every Chyron Max and Maxine comes with cherry clears, not sure if "vintage" cherry clears is a thing, but these feel very nice and smooth.
Got mine for something like 30 bucks.
>>54088583
>not wanting to be lazy and comfy
self made retarded looking keycaps
>>54088607
the one i posted is being offered by someone for 70 bucks. should i utz him to 50?
I found this on /r/mechanicalkeyboards LOL
>>54088607
>Not that uncommon
Oh cool, thanks. Ill do some looking.
Horrible F1 accident.
>>54088624
would buy
>>54088627
The leopold? What model is it?
The older leopold moldels (like 200R and so) come with a non-standard spacebar, so fitting a custom keycap set will require some modding. If its a newer model, like the FC750R, it will already feature a standard layout.
Either way, 70 bucks for a leopold is worth it.
Finally got rid of that stupid old keyboard.
>>54088664
Back to ~leddit, romevi.
I am a COBOL programmer, this is my new keyboard layout
>>54088721
Congrats! Did you replace it with something more modern like a Razer BlackWidow Tournament Editionâĸ?
>>54088765
No i got a logitech K120, wayy better.
When the pok3r arrives be like
>>54088537
Ah so basically you use it as a big old hotkey bar? That's what I assumed but it's got so many damn keys that I wasn't sure if one could have that many programmed characters/macros/whatever else.
>>54088569
Yeah, but it's not like that's painful. I'd complain about picking up your wrists, but I don't do that either. Hell, I've also got a ridiculously unorthodox typing "style" because I never learned how to use home row comfortably.
>>54088624
Woah dude, if you sell those make sure to price them really high, that way scalpers can't profit off your unique style and hard work.
>>54088745
Not a huge fan of the blue, green, or white keys, but overall the keycaps look really nice on that board. Is that one of those steam controllers in the background?
Cherry MX Orange.

>>54088833
>Ah so basically you use it as a big old hotkey bar? That's what I assumed but it's got so many damn keys that I wasn't sure if one could have that many programmed characters/macros/whatever else.
I change the layout ca. once a week, not every usecase needs all keys, but sometimes they are all in productive use.
>>54088721

Dopre review
Ayyyyy you know who it is. ChucklingKumquat back at it again with the dress shoes. I'm actually wearing a suit and tie but this review is going to be far from formal because I'm fucked up. That's right boys. You may be thinking that this review will be good but you're wrong. This review is going to be as shitty as my sex life. So let's get into it. I know that I have coined the term Zealios are the way to your feelios but today this review is about an entirely new animal. An animal that many of you have not experienced before due to the price tag. But I am here to explain the goodness of Dopre. Dopre switches are just that, fuckin dope. From personal experience, Dopre is just the embodiment of dank memes. You know those memes that really speak to you on a different level. That's Dopre. The small tactile bump is just fucking incredible. Little finger titties. That's what they are. Kinda squishy but at the same time firm. Aka the best kind. Nobody likes saggy and boring. It's all about the kinda perky and firm goodness that we all know and love. That my friends is dopre. That is why you pay so much fucking money for a rubber dome but god damn it's the best rubber dome you will ever feel. Every keystroke is like caressing a cuttlefish. Sweet, tender and incredible. Touching the soul of the keybord. Don't believe me? There's a documentary out there on cuttlefish caressing eachother. I saw it in 7th grade. Never forget. You know Dopre may not be as good as the dankness of Zealios but it's pretty damn close. And you know I don't own just an HHKB Type-S I own a JustSystems Realforce which has Hipro caps. The Hipro makes all of the fucking difference. It's about as high as a kite and about as dank as a cave because caves are dark and musty just as the definition says. But that darkness is somehow a light. A light brighter than the illumination of the In N Out sign when you're drunk.
>>54089008
where do you see browns?
>>54089052
continued
The definition says dark but let's be honest here it's dark with an N. It's DANK. Topre is fucking dank. That's why I call it Dopre. It's dope for your fingers and you get hooked. An addiction that you can't shake off unless you're Taylor swift because all you do is shake it off. Dopre is everything you need. Dopre is the woman that you always knew but you never really knew that you needed. The girl that just kind of steals your heart. Slowly but methodically chipping away at your feels. Until you realize you love her back. Dopre. Dopre is everything you could want in a switch. Tactile finger titties that will steal your heart. Sorry ladies, I'm taken.
I had one extra that I wasn't using, so I found a use.

be honest how much did you pay for that?
>>54089777
When you buy blanks, then remember that you never learned to type without looking...
>>54090003
Paypal says ~215 for the whole package.
I want to craigslist it for like 180 or I will fall into a deeper depression/buyers remorse.
>>54089599
Huh, I didn't notice that.
>>54089731
Your keyboard looks like a bottle of fucking antacid tablets, dude.
>>54089777
>Gets unprinted caps
>Buys off color WASD printed caps
Why would anyone do this? Besides, what don't you like about it?
>>54090087
DOLLARS??? holy fucking shit man what the fuck lmao you fucked up craigslist that shit asap
>>54090117
I can't tell if you're being ironic in acting like that's a lot of money or if you're legitimately broke and think that $215 is expensive to anyone with a job. Assuming you're the former rather than the latter, your reddit-tier sentence structure and "word" usage really blurs the line and makes it hard to tell the difference, so well done.

what's the problem with that? :'^
MRW I get my first mechanical board, BlackWidow, for Christmas and find out the whole community hates Razer boards.
MRW i try new switches

I wonder if anyone on craigslist in my city knows what an HHKB is...
And yeah $215 wasnt that big of a deal, its just that I have a daily driver board that I just always use I guess... I think I got hype trained by mkg
>>54090273
you could try r/mechmarket if craigslist does not workout
>>54090316
hey, thanks
first for genuine wood
hello /mkg/ is there any easy way to remove the text off my spacebar?
My manager at work is always complaining about my blanks. I decided to put legends back to help him out.

I feel like I should clean up my Das. I haven't cleaned inbetween the keys in over a year or two.
>>54090273
I hopped on the hype train from a friend long before I visited /g/ myself and I really, really enjoy the HHKB. I rearranged my computer desk layout so I might enjoy my Filco a bit more than I used to if I ever decide to go back to it, but I'd need a new set of keys because the ABS caps are ruined on my other board.
Either way, I enjoy my HHKB immensely, but it's definitely not for everyone.

>Whats wrong with them?
Tactile bump isn't very strong for a so-called "tactile" switch.
Tactile bump isn't very long either, the switch is linear for the first 1mm, has a ~1mm tactile bump, then is linear for the rest of the travel.
In recent years Cherry's sliders have been inconsistent. Sometimes you get decently smooth ones, other times they're scratchy.
Gateron browns are objectively better.

On one hand, I hate scalpers.
On the other hand, the autists that actually buy these shitty artisan keycaps deserve whatever comes their way.

What's the cheapest place to get PCBs? Someone recommended
http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/8-pcbs-and-controllers but those prices seems insane.
Is the $40 Monoprice the best option for someone looking to escape membranes without spending much? Is there another similarly inexpensive one that is less funky with the half-ISO, lettering, and general aesthetics?
>>54091006
>>54091158
Aliexpress is much cheaper, but make sure you buy from a seller with good feedback
>>54087059
Are brown switches a meme? They feel like a rubber dome without the need to bottom out.
If I'm programming on a daily basis, what are the best switches for me if I want to be comfortable?
>>54091169
You can find model Ms and other old keyboards for much cheaper if you search around and chances are they use better switches
>>54091195
MX Greens or buckling springs, blues if you have girly bitch hands
>>54091223
Thing is I'm thinking I'd prefer linear switches like reds. Maybe with more time to play with them I'd prefer browns for typing, but I'm thinking reds to start. Arent most older keyboards buckling spring and noisy as fuck?
I really hate massdrop
reminder that it doesn't matter how much money you waste in shit you don't need, you will stay miserable forever
>>54091409
This, I really don't understand why people think it's so great. Bunch of people rush to buy something they don't really need or even want and you can never get what you actually want when you want it no matter how much you're willing to pay and if you google for anything half the results will be drops that have ended. Literally useless.
>>54091249
but they're very loud.
>>54091478
What the fuck is the point of drops that have ended showing up in Google results that pisses me off too, made me filter massdrop as a whole
what color blanks should i get? i have a lolita spyder 87
