Topre is a meme
>>54167934
im trying to put together a set of switches for a sampler, so far I have
Cherry MX Red, MX Black, MX Blue, MX Brown, MX Green, MX Gray, MX Clear, MX White
Gateron KS Red, KS Black, KS Blue, KS Brown, KS Clear
what else should I get besides 35, 45, 55g topres?

Dunno if you're still monitoring the old thread, so here you go:
>>54167955

>>54167784
Topre switches feel overall very smooth to me. One of the smaller details apart from the overall feel that I really like is how firm they feel. There's almost no wobble (unlike with those gateron clears) on the switch. The keycaps barely move around.
As for the overall feel, I really like the firmness and snappiness of them. Yes, they feel like rubber domes (not a big surprise there), but they feel like really nice rubber domes. When you press down, you have this firm resistance that builds up and then smoothly collapses, resulting in a very soft bottom-out. I really like them for typing, for gaymen I prefer linears (though I gaymed with Topre no problems). Another part I really like about the switches is the sound, though this is also partly due to the HHKB and the plastic plate. I lubed them some time ago, and since then I like the sound and feel even more.
I don't think you can really compare these to mx-style or alps or any kind of other switch that is not a rubber dome. I don't mean to say that they're better, but they feel far too different from those to even make for a valid comparison.
My only particular gripe with Topre switches is that they don't lend themselves a whole lot to modifcation. Not only is there a severe lack of Topre keycaps, but there's also not much you can do with them other than lubing them or using different rubber domes due to how they work. I'd love to build a keyboard with Topre switches myself.
>>54168113
yeah
>>54167955
thanks
>>54168002
yeah nothing compares to actual typing
>>54168117
Really? The last 0.5mm or even less are pure torture for me and to me the bump feels, well, like that of a rubberdome. But Maybe there's something wrong with my board. However mine might be a little weird overall.
>>54168183
That's odd, there is a LOT of keywobble on my Leopold.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Vvi4QveWxj
Matias QC, (some loud rattle, I touched the mic on accident), Leopold, Custom Vintage MX clears. I just took a finger and pulled it over the keys, without applying any pressure. I tried to keep the distance to the mic the same and overall the vocaroo is pretty accurate.
Overall I expected a vast improvement to rubberdomes, but it really feels just like the Alps Slider over Dome I tried some time back. Well I guess my expectations were just too high.
>>54168461
should have bought an HHKB
>>54168013
I wonder who the OEM behind all this chink shit is. Lot's of them have an extremely similar design or pretty much the same keycap font.
What would be the 'best' pre-assembled green-switch mechanical keyboard? Budget isn't a concern. Would settle for a blue switch as well, but have owned a blue switch board for awhile and would like to try different avenues.
Who /REDS/ here
>>54168986
here
>>54167971
Matias QC and Click
Gateron greens, gateron yellows, gateron tactile clears, zealios
White alps, blue alps, cream alps, orange alps, brown alps, green alps, black alps, amber alps, salmon alps.
what's /g/'s opinion on buying used mechanical keyboards?
I'll save like 50% on one which only came out last year if i go for a used version, will it be worth it?
>>54169461
I buy used boards from the 70s-80s all the time. As long as you don't mind doing some cleaning and replacing of small parts, it's a great way to save cash. Honestly the worst I've had to do was a bolt mod for a rivet-less IBM.
Newer boards and those you can see in person before buying should have even less issues.
>>54169342
>gateron tactile clears
this exists?

Yeah. Out of stock tho.
They should get some by the end of the month.

it's a noppoo choc mini with blank thick pbt keycaps
>>54169971
Looks nice, but I would miss led ilumination
>>54169983
never really cared about that flashy shit to be honest

>>54170317
Not him, but I like mine. It's even waterproof so I can just wipe up all my cummies.
>>54167900
What is the best one?
>>54170375
seconding this qb wich is your favorite?
I am 100% sure mine is the realforce 55g
>>54170317
yeah it came in today and i really like it...
mainly bought it for csgo though because i ran out of mousepad pretty often with the normanl qck heavy
>>54168461
>The last 0.5mm or even less are pure torture for me and to me the bump feels, well, like that of a rubberdome.
The bottom out on my NovaTouch is the best of any switch I've tried. Of course it feels like a rubber dome - it is one. It's just far beyond any others in terms of quality.

the fuck is the difference between purple zealios and ergo clears?
>>54171881
yes get that one, looks nice
>>54171830
This one looks best IMO, what's the thickness?
so wasd is selling pok3rs now
>>54171881
black on black for sure
>>54172223
pretty nice desu senpai
it's got WASD branding on the back
>>54171979
You don't have to cannibalize a switch and dick with lubing them.
Zealios are pretty much stock ergos.
>>54172223
getting one for sure
>>54171830
Is that the taihao set on massdrop right now?
Debating going for that one for that SNES nostalgia vibe.
>>54172087
not so thick
but its cheap af like 35 dollar shipped atm
>>54172285
i like the programming feature
because i can set up caps lock to be control, and fn+ tab to be caps lock
>>54172277
>You don't have to cannibalize a switch and dick with lubing them.
Which switch are you speaking of. And what do you mean cannibalize a switch?
>>54172318
Actually that looks pretty good aside from one wall on the bottom cap. Definitely a steal for 35 bucks, where are you finding these?
>>54172415
have you googled what ergo clears are anon
>>54172415
Ergo clears are traditionally built with clears but replacing the springs with those from browns. Meaning the brown switches would go to waste.
>>54172417
Massdrop I assume
>>54172528
yes these are the one from massdrop
tai haos >>54172417
>>54172477
Admittedly I didn't read much into the deskthority page.
>>54172513
I see.
So what causes the zealios to be smoother than lubed ergo clears?
>>54172528
>>54172603
Damn forget it then, I'd rather buy from China than give assdrop any of my money.
Probably get it 2 months quicker, too.

What's wrong with MD?
>>54172764
often times massdrop orders take a while because they're at the whim of the manufacturer due to it often being custom orders.
>>54172725
I'm sure these will pop up on Taobao very soon, can already get similar sets for 15-20 bucks all day long.
world.taobao.com/item/524188265610.htm

world.taobao.com/item/527438191454.htm?
>>54172842
similar yea and amazing price desu but not really the same
the reason why I like these caps is because of the colored letters
>>54172907
I'll keep an eye out for them, they'll show up well before the assdrop orders are in anyone's hands.
FUUUUUUUUUUCK MECHS ARE NOT A MEME!
Recently started an internship doing some embedded programming and the setup at the office includes mechanical keyboards for all, so I've been using one for the last couple weeks, and god what a dream to type on.
But now when I'm at home using a shitty membrane it feels like absolute shit, can hardly type on it anymore so I guess I have to buy a mechanical but I'm a poorfag.
Where can you buy the cheapest possible mx blue keyboard (Scandinavia)?

>>54174513
thanks man i'll check it out
>>54174513
>Pok3r 3
You're doing this on purpose.
Why aren't there many bluetooth/wifi mechanical keyboards? The cords are one of the bigger reasons why I haven't decided to switch.
>>54174662
Nothing gets by you.
>>54174678
A keyboard doesn't move while you use it.
>>54174678
Filco Minila Air and the new HHKB both have BT versions
>>54174688
so i shouldn't get a pok3r?
>>54174718
No. A Pok3r 3.
>>54174718
Pok3r is good if you like the 60% layout, also Magicforce if you're OK with Gaote clones.
>>54174733
what about a good full keyboard? i think a smaller keyboard would look lonely on my desk haha
>>54174768
ducky one is pretty dope right?
>>54174768
Ducky Shine or Monoprice for full sized are good.
monoprice.com/product?p_id=13787 this one
In the TKL size there's Filco Majestouch or Zhuque for cheaper. Can't really go wrong with any of these.
>>54174895
wow $35, a lot cheaper than i expected, thanks anon
>>54174700
I dislike bluetooth a lot but in his defence
if you travel a lot, bluetooth is nice to have
>>54174768
Honestly, the manufacturer doesn't even matter that much. All you got to look out for is basically the bottom-row. Only buy keyboards with a bottom-row where every key (except for the spacebar) is equally large (a little larger than the keycap of a regular letter).
Reason is, if your keycaps are busted (and they will) it is a bitch to find keycaps for anything but standard bottomrow.
Just keep in mind that you (except for some gaymen brands, which are unnecessarily expensive) get what you pay for.
Also >>54174849
Yes.
>>54174678
the kbtalking pro is nice if you can ever find one kbtalkingusa.com/
lets you pair up and switch with up to 9 devices + 1 wired connection
>>54174714
No volume controls or number pad.
>>54175013
thanks a lot anon, i'll go and order the monoprice one now

i think i can handle it, i do a lot of finger related stuff
>>54176322
i too am a turd tickler
Is the model m ssk worth it, or should I just buy a Realforce?
>>54176322
Buying blacks is the MKG equivalent of finger banging your own fart box.
>>54176432
I like buckling springs much more than the Topre, but DESU just get a Model F AT unless you must have the form factor.
>>54176432
http://www.modelfkeyboards.com/
Why is 106/109 so superior to 101/102?
It takes some getting used to after using 101 for so long but so many commonly used characters are now a single press away instead of using shift.
>>54172603
with tai hao, you get what you pay for
their keycap quality is horrible, only looks nice in photos, but when you actually use them (for a bit) you will understand why they are so cheap

>>54177818
>>54177818
>>54169885
Whats the actuation force? and are they heavy at the bottom like a real clear or more normal?
>>54177925
67g, they are like ergo-clears actually. Pretty much a Zealio without the golden spring, costing 1/3 of the price.
>>54178219
That's exactly what I was hoping for lol. I'll have to pick up a set for my daily which is on ergo clears atm.
>>54169885
>They should have some in stock by the end of the month.
I thought gat tactile clears were no longer being produced, due to an agreement because of zealios existing?
>>54178653
Thats what Zeal said. Still, I bought some fron winkeyless and they went out of stock, then the site owner sent me an email asking if I would like the money back or wait until the end of this month, when they would get new stock.
Zeal rushing Zealios Round 3 is a little bit strange also.
>>54178698
>Zeal rushing Zealios Round 3 is a little bit strange also.
Demand is pretty fucking high, so it doesn't seem strange to me.
>>54178698
They're still really cool for people who are willing to pay. Cute purple stems for photo shoots. Fancy gold springs. I'm too cheap though and not much into style unless it comes with benefits.
>>54178842
This, he'd be stupid not to considering the hype around zealios right now.
Any thoughts on a pok3r rgb? atm i am using a hhkb pro 2 but i want to go back to either mx brown or blues
>>54179026
Are they even shipping yet?
>>54179040
nope. not until the 26th of may.
just wanted to know if they still had pbt key caps and an aluminum case
>>54167934
Well boys, I'm making a leap of faith from clears to Topre, it should be coming tomorrow :^) Wish me luck on the Topre meme.

>>54180072
Captain unpopular opinion to the rescue!!!!
Thoughts on the magicforce 68?
I'm poor and want a smaller keyboard, never bought a mechanical before.
>>54180212
check the archives
>>54180228
w h e r e
>>54180212
it's good for the price.
recommended only if you want a 60% but still want arrow keys plus standard r-shift for swappable key caps.
>i want a smaller keyboard
it's like 1.5u shorter in each dimension, compared to a standard TKL, there's hardly a difference. it's also very light.
but, it looks really good. i have a black with white leds, and even though I usually don't like LEDs, it's a pretty fantastic looking board.
keycaps are average ABS quality. font isn't great but it's whatever.
but, what's most important, is that you can get it with gaterons, which automatically make it better than any Cherry MX board.
meme me up famalams
>>54180302
This is my current keyboard, the magicforce looks like a baby compared this this.
It's dome switch, which switch should I get on the magic? Can I switch the switches if I don't like them?
>>54180369
>which switch should I get on the magic?
the only switches you should consider are blue and red. don't ever let anyone tell you to get brown or clear. and technically you can change the switches but doing so would require desoldering every single switch and soldering in new ones. it's possible but it's a huge pain in the ass.
basically, clicky (blue) switches are pretty satisfying to type on but the clicking really isn't for everyone. red has less (read: almost no) tactility but they're about as silent as you can get and you can probably type slightly quicker with reds after you get used to the keys.
if you ever play any video games whatsoever, then red is your only choice. if you don't game and live by yourself, consider blue.
gateron clear is also an option. they're linear but with lower actuation force so it's less fatiguing but the weak upstroke makes them feel what can be described best as mushy, whereas clicky have a very crisp, sharp feeling.
>>54179026
Clears are good too.
>>54179258
Should be fine they are both good switch. Clears are as close as you can get to topre on the cherry side anyways.
>>54180488
These are some extremist opinions. Very right or left no in between.
>>54175605
Still wondering about this
>>54180689
If you've seen all the other suggestions here and still have no idea, dunno what to tell you.

It's hard to make general recommendations, but with a budget like that you can afford the good shit. But what's the best for you depends on what your tastes are and how much time you'd be willing to spend.
If you're totally lost I'd actually recommend trying some display units or getting a switch tester.
How would I go about removing the text from the top of my pok3r? I would like to be able to keep the front print though so no acid dipping
The world of keycap sellers is weird. First time I bought a set, they didn't arrive until like 4 months later and I had already gotten my money back at that point. Then a month ago I preordered a new set, which arrived three days ago. And then they arrived today too, so now I have two of them. But this time I've contacted the seller and am gonna send the duplicate set back I guess.
I've never had this kind of problem happen with anything else purchased over the internet before, are keycap sellers just incompetent?
>>54181325
If you feel confident in your sanding abilities you can take sandpaper to the top of them. Note it has to be extremely fucking fine grain unless you want to have noticeable damage.
>>54181431
How the fuck do you people manage to erode the surface of a keyboard with your literal bare hands?
I've been using the same QFR since 2012 and my caps look brand new. Do you just never wash your hands?
>>54181431
>>54181585
Or you could just get some pbt keycaps.

Someone is selling a secondhand strafe rgb (mx browns) for €140. Should i?
>>54183002
There is also an ozone strike pro with mx reds. They both look shit desu but a new keyboard costs €170+ here and i won't spend that much. So which is the less shitty?
Thank you based anons, you gave me advice like two days ago. I am enjoying my new Filco - it's a pleasure to type on.
>>54181585
Basically everybody in my office has shined-up keycaps. I think it's abnormal for cheap ABS caps to not shine after a few months of use.

Is a mechanical keyboard better than rubberdomes for playing videogames? Do you have any recommendations?

>Is a mechanical keyboard better than rubberdomes for playing videogames?
oh god yes
i physically cringe when touching a rubberdome now.
>>54183002
>>54183026
Get the ozone strike pro, that one at least has a standard bottom row.
>>54167971
No poo Topre clones
>>54178855
Try separately source stems, springs, and clear switch housings and have it come to < $0.75 per switch.
Even sourcing then from Taobao it isn't possible
>>54180163
I think he might mean Cherry vs Gateron etc
>>54184426
In my personal opinion, gateron clears. They're extremely light and extremely smooth and make for a very pleasant typing experience.
Though I think that "best" switch is a matter that's up to personal preference.
>>54184527
>>54184566
Thanks for letting me know. In this case I'm reading on several reviews that this Corsair Vengeance K70 is amazing.
Is it worth the money?
>>54184686
Corsair keyboards are overpriced shit. Nobody who's half serious about keyboards buys them.
Get a Ducky if you want fancy lights.
Full-size keyboards really are fucking huge.
At least I can use the numpad as a macro pad, feels strange to switch from my 60% and TKL back to this monster.
>>54184686
>>54184700
What if I don't care about fancy lights?
>>54184789
Then get something other than a corsair or a ducky.
What is it that you're looking for in a keyboard?
>>54184818
I'm looking for comfort and responsive buttons friend, without too much noise if possible.
>>54184967
Get something with cherry mx clears
>>54184999
Can you feel the satisfying activation when pushing down on those switches?
>>54185051
Yes, I'm typing on clears right now and they're very satisfying to type on.
>>54185051
Yes, that's the whole point of clears. They have the tactile bump, but no audible click like blues. Still physical feedback in your fingers but no added noise.

Is KB Paradise a good kb?
>>54185196
They are pretty decent for what they cost. Most stuff is really standard (case, keycaps, etc.) but they are pretty good regarding supported layouts and are 100% standard, so there are even aftermarket cases for the V80 (Matias as well)
>>54185060
>>54185069
I'm looking around for keyboards with clear but it appears there are very few or just hard to find here in Norway. Thanks a lot for the help though, I'll keep searching.
>>54185224
Just visited a kb store nearby here, saw KB Paradise (forgot which model, but 60%) and how is it compare to Poker 3?
>>54185241
it's cheaper and has less features. Personally I think it's better than the Pok3r because it is cheaper and everything the pok3r uses its extra money for (painted, not anodized aluminium case and PBT keycaps with infills) is still shit and needs replacement in order to get something decent.
Does anybody know any tenkeyless keyboards with MX clears in ISO layout? I need one for work.
>>54185408
Ehh clears are hard enough to find, ISO makes it even harder.

Thanks. I don't care about the caps, I already have a set I'd replace them with anyway. Might just buy that one then.
>>54181585
Wow! Since way back then? That's incredible!
>>54185562
you can buy wasd keyboard without the caps for cheaper

It appears that it's impossible to find Clears where I live. The ones I can find are mostly red, blue, brown, and a few blacks. Which of these do you think are closest to clears?
I just want a comfy keyboard.
>>54185686
Yeah I actually just found that.
Is there a difference in feel between large keys with wire stabilizers like WASD (pic related), and regular switch-stem stabilizers?
>>54185774
Blues. They're sorta noisy, but you get used to it, and honestly I prefer it like that. Blacks have no bump feedback, reds are a meme, browns feel like shit.
>>54185241
>>54185274
Lack of programmability on the V60 killed it for me.
The Pok3r isn't great but I'm glad I got it.
>>54185803
A little sound can be satisfying to hear, like ASMR. Are you using blue switches? How loud are they?
>>54185779
i have only ever used the wire ones but they seem to be quite equally liked. they are kinda annoying for swapping keycaps though
>>54167934
how does the type s compare to the normal one, is it worth the extra money?
>>54185814
That's true, but the FN Layer and the Layout options on the V60 are pretty nice already. It's not as good as free programmability, but it's not as bad as most competition.
>>54185911
Totally. The V60 seems pretty awesome for the money but ultimately I decided it wasn't for me and I definitely don't regret it.
>Can't find Cherry mx clear so have to settle on blue
What do you think about this QPAD MK-80 keyboard?
>>54186079
I think that's a bad compromise.
Just get a WASD barebones and some caps.
i want a wireless mech.
>>54186123
Then get one.
>>54186122
I live in Norway so I'd have to get the ISO layout and WASD does not sell those with clears either so I'd still have to pick blues, and it appears that they don't have the symbol set-up for EU countries either.
>>54186298
Are you looking for a fullsize or a TKL? It seems that the TKL wasd barebones does actually come with clears.
>>54186343
Oh shit, and it even has the Alphanumeric Layout Style for my country. I really like the numpad but some sacrifices will apparently be necessary.
Thanks a lot! Do you have a suggestion on the color set-up while I'm ordering this?
>>54186466
>Do you have a suggestion on the color set-up while I'm ordering this?
I'd honestly suggest you don't get their keycaps and just go with the barebones. Their keycaps are thin ABS and way overpriced for that.
I'd recommend getting some aftermarket ISO caps, either in whatever variation of ISO you can find or blanks.
Stuff like this is exactly why I switched to ANSI with my second board.
>>54169983
>I would miss led illumination
how? miss how much of a fag it makes you look like?
Well, my Topre arrived today and I've gotta say it lives up to the hype, key presses are incredibly smooth, and it has tactility while being light, kinda like an ergo clear or something in that line. I think I'm glad I fell for this meme.
What does key speed adjustment do?
I cant tell a difference no matrer what setting I have it on
>>54181325
Acetone, I guess.
>>54187853

Quickest way to ruining your keyboard.
Has anyone ever gotten into typing without keycaps at all?
It keeps you honest, and it isnt that hard. I have a whole keycapless keyboard I train on maybe 2-3 times a week.
>>54187892
Acetone does nothing with PBT. Will melt ABS tho.
>>54187939
I know.
>>54187960
So why is it going to ruin his keyboard, which has PBT caps?
>>54188106
My point was that you should be sure about doing shit to your keyboard, not guessing.
>>54188138
How the hell would I know if acetone will remove whatever ink they used to print the keycaps? Damage it obviously wont.
I heard you guys like backlighting.
So I backlit my bed.
So I just went from buckling springs on a Model M to a cheap keyboard with cherry blues.
It made my typing jump almost 20 WPM, because its so much lighter to type on.
>>54167934
way to ruin the aesthetics with that stupid red escape key
bet you wear a fucking fedora and use and e-cig
What's the most obscure switch?

I have pic related. Cooler Master Quickfire TK. Gen 1 version that still has the mini-usb, not micro. It has yet to fail me in any way shape or form and all I have done to it is pulls the keys on occasion to clean it. This thing cost me $45 5 years ago. Why is it that Cooler Master seems to get a bad rap for their mech boards? Thing is built like a tank.
Unrelated, but that keyboard has blues. I use it for typing and gaming. How are reds for non gaming related stuff? Are the comfortable to type on for long term? Is the TK series the only board with ten keyless size but keeps the number pad?
>>54189054
>Why is it that Cooler Master seems to get a bad rap for their mech boards?
Werent they the go to for a cheap mechanical keyboard the last 5 years or so, before the influx of cheap keyboards and switches showed up?
>>54189054
I have the same keyboard but with reds (I think like 4 years old) for typing it's not really good but it's great for playing Tetris and shit
>>54189107
Yea I remember them being the only brand sub $90 at the time with decent options. Can't speak as to their new stuff.
Although I will say Corsair mech boards are hot garbage. My buddy bought one of their top boards. The entire left side of the keyboard slowly started dying starting with the number keys. This happened to 2 boards of the same type. wasn't cheap either. Like $150 keyboard. He got his money back, bough a steel series with reds.
>>54189119
Oh OK good to hear input from a red user. Didn't want to buy a red board and regret it. Might just stick with my clicky blues.
What kills me is CM offered a TK "stealth" model that was only on the market for like 3 months before disappearing. Blank black key caps with the writing on the side rather than on the top with MX black switches. Was like $120 but I wanted it so bad.
>>54167960
you're right
They're rubber domes for cucks
>>54185877
not really worth an extra $100
but it tightens up the keys, so they look straighter, and feel a little better
and yeah, it doesn't clack so much on the upstroke
>>54167985
u selling it senpai
I decided to clean out my Model M today. I saved it from a trash heap last year and never knew about the horror lurking just underneath my fingertips.
>>54191079
you didnt clean it the first thing you did? disgusting
This little guy has probably been dead longer than I've been alive.
>>54191079
the fuck is with that disgusting cap spacing?
>>54191094
Nah man, gotta have that authentic poorfag experience.
>>54191127
you have the authentic poorfag experience everyday who are you joking man
>>54191079
q - t i p s
At least yours doesn't have anything permanent
>>54191226
please do not bully
>>54191097
How do you feel about Orings?
I got some thin profile ones, so they didnt change the throw of my keys and they still bottom out like before.
They didnt make much of a difference in sound either.
Do I have to get fat orings that shorten the throw of keys and cushion bottoming out for them to do anything?
Im afraid it will make the keyboard mushy
I literally just spilt Coke all over my K70, about 3 years old now, ive opened it and let it dry out, im going to wait for tomorrow, but if its still dead, im gonna have to buy a new one, and recommendations? needs to be black (i have the kaycaps from the k70) macros would be nice but meh, would like it full sized, used for gaming and typing (needs to be cherry blues)
Thanks
>>54191122
Are you new
Model M keycaps are two parts, that's the second part with the actual cap removed
>>54192785
I apologize in advance for not knowing about that cum encrusted keyboard from the 80s
Please forgib me
>>54192816
>please forgive me for not recognizing the most popular, most plentiful keyboard ever made, the single keyboard that created the mechanical keyboard craze of the 2010s.
shameful
>>54192881
>mechanical keyboard craze of 2010
nice meme, straight from reddit I suppose
Mechs have been popular forever not because of some hipster cancer that dug Model Ms out of a dumpster but because they allow for a better typing experience.
