If you're reading this I hope you choke on all the cum you guzzle you fucking faggot.
Although on second thought maybe he's a redditor, since he takes bitcoin and all.

What don't you like about orange? Have you tried other alps/matias?
>>54435939
i dont understand
are you having an autistic shit fit because you can't afford it and really want it?
>>54435986
i have matias switches to play with
seems like the new quiet click feels better
anyway i prefer the feel of cherry or topre, and saying they suck is going to upset someone

Nah, I already have one. It's just a dumb price if you ever wanna sell it, specially on a country where the average worker wins around 500 dollars a month AND if there are substantially cheaper Model Ms on the site AND if you're acting all high and mighty over the price you've set.
Ah, whatever. Whoever buys that is gonna get fucked. Not me.
Digging that color scheme on your board btw, it's real neato.

Worst part is, I had actually contacted him once because hes was gonna get me an active USB converter since he SUPPOSEDLY had one lying around. Had to talk him into selling it because according to him "It wouldn't work on my keyboard's layout, so he'd have to make a custom one for me for about a hundred dollars". Kept me waiting for about a month, so I got fed up and did the resistor mod on an old DIN-PS2 cable. Thank god I was clever enough to not pay him up front.
>>54436268
why would you do this
>>54436075
>>54436143
I too, recommend the KUL ES87, it's great.
>>54436277
Cos why not ?
Good feeling of oneness with cup rubber
and ergoclears, because why not.
>>54436310
that is not a valid explanation

Cos it's a sin. You'll get tan.
>>54436387
I just want to say that I'm sorry for making this post.
>>54436113
So you browse e-bay checking out prices on stuff you already own and don't want to buy just to see who's getting ripped off?
>>54436451
Yes, in case a different kind of model M I don't have pops out.

Browns are for more accurate commas and dots since i can't order zealios

It's actually Symbiosis, the DT GB ones have a slightly different layout for the legends.
Guys, it's possible to find ALPS keycaps for backlit switches? I'd love to mod a Matias switches keyboard.

>>54438186
I know.

it's don't think you could get much more hipster, my fucking god
Hey /mkg/, got a quick query.
My "d" key has been sticking recently, is there any way I can get it back to working order? Or do I have to buy a new switch for it?
>>54438276
Love the elven shit
>>54438276
did you paint those?
can you even spray paint keys? what about smooth/shiny ones? I like that rough look

Many of them have meh MY or ML switches, but nice POM cap sets. I bought my MX Browns POS just for dem black caps
>>54439394
I bought one like that. allegedly brown switches with the top row being clear. either way if it feels bad im just harvesting the caps. allegedly doubleshot abs
>>54439318

>>54439413
They feel alright, but browns are my least favorite switch other than Futaba complicated.
Just so many better options out there for tactile.

I want to get a mech keyboard but i hate keyboard without a armrest slope thingy
Ok /mkg/ I wanna board the mk train so after some research I found the following keyboards.
I want to specify that I need it for programming and that I type a lot on it so if someone experienced can give me a feedback of these keyboards I would be very grateful.
>CM Storm Quick Fire Ultimate: 40€ (used)
Don't know what switches, I will ask the seller.
>Corsair Vengeance K60 cherry red: 60€ (used)
This looks like my best choice. I'm not sure I can drop the numpad.
>Corsair Vengeance K90 cherry red: 70€ (used)
I don't know if I like this, it looks too big for me.
>CM Storm QuickFire XT cherry blue: 90€
Best TK option.
>Magicforce TKL kailh black: 60€
I'd need to change the keycaps, they're utter shit.
>CM Storm NovaTouch TKL Hybrid Switch: 110€
Some anon here suggested this.
>Corsair Gaming Strafe cherry red: 130€
Too expensive and not sure if it's any better than the others.
>CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid I cherry brown: 110€
I don't know if I like browns.
I'm expecting a tester in the mail just to be sure about what switches I prefer.
TKL is irrelevant.
Sorry for the long-ass post.
>>54440394
You can get wrist rests for mechanical keyboards too. See >>54438276
>>54440986
Anything by corsair should be avoided since they have a non-standard bottom row and their keyboards are also known for various other issues.
Backlit coolermaster keyboards should be avoided since their OEM is known for dead LEDs and is far lower in quality than the OEM of the non-backlit ones (Costar)
If you want a keyboard with a numpad, that'd throw the magicforce and the novatouch off the list too.
From what you've listed, the Quickfire XT from Cooler Master is what you'd be looking.
Of course there's also other keyboards such as Ducky or Filco or the Realforce series if you want to get something more fancy.
>>54441444
those numbers...
>>54441444
Thanks a lot for the reply and the cons of Corsair and CM, I have looked for Filco and Ducky but they are really expensive for my first mk.
I'll see if I can get a used one maybe.
>>54441602
Your concerns regarding the price of your first keyboard are understandable. I'd recommend getting the Quickfire XT, it's made by the same OEM that makes Filco keyboards (Costar).
Non-backlit cooler masters are generally a good choice, it's the backlit ones you should be careful about (though I don't know about their newest line with RGB backlighting)
>>54441624
About the blue switches on that keyboard, are they ok for what I do?
Is the keyboard customizable like those I see in these threads?
I've typed mostly on membrane keyboards and laptops for 10 years.
Is the gigabyte force k83 any good?
I just want a simple design without gaymer backlighting or hipster keycaps.
This one is pretty cheap and has mx reds

>>54438529
>clip
off yourself famalam
>>54441674
There's no switch that's inherently "better" for a apecific application, it's pretty much a matter of preference. And anything with a standard bottom row (bottom row modifiers are all the same sizw) should be quite easily customizable.
ok guys, I just found out that I can pair my new phone with bluetooth keyboards.
What's the cheapest wireless 60% out there?
>>54442242
Probably those $50 lindon chinkboards on amazon, the Filco ones are like 150

i want to get a ISO QWERTZ (DE) pok3r from amazon, but they don't have the colour / switch combo i want in stock.
since i'm going to replace the keycaps anyways, is there any downside to getting the one with ISO UK QWERTY layout? does the hardware differ?

>>54443454
It's not a meme. Typing is different from making fast-timed key combos which is different from controlling with the same keys. Next you're going to tell me everyone should use one of those fancy 12-button mice.
>>54443558
No I'm saying no one should.
>>54443540
It's hard to find. Would you recommend me some?
>>54443602
This one has a Topre switch, so you can feel the meme yourself:

Saw that monstrosity on GH earlier, dude should've just bought a planck.
Dem rubberholic tears were worth it though.
>>54443827
>>54443827
i just wanna know why
Has anyone thought of using a linear switch along with some kind of piezo speaker / rumble pack generating a click sensation on each key press?
>>54443948
I have an IBM Multistation board that does that, some Wang (kek) and Northgate boards had it too. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7aKpzMmaUw#t=7m35s
It's kind of annoying after a while, but useful for gauging the switch force at first.
Will sound dampeners help with blues noise?
>>54444652
Not really
>>54444652
It'll help with one of the three sources of noise.

You are ridiculously angry. He didn't even mention Topre.
>>54445839
insulting people for doing things generally regarded as good by the general is pretty rage inducing
or are doubleshot caps bad now
>>54445949
I was rather referencing your irrational accusatiins of Topre, coupled with your general rage.
>>54445981
I feel the irrational need to remind topre users that they are using rubberdomes. it seems i got at least one bite

Asking again from last thread.
My mechanical keyboard (brown cherry) has a weird half broken "f" key.
The strange thing is, the "f" is responsive at times, or DEFINITELY when I press it simultaneously with Caps, A, S, or D. In other words, keys left to the F key.
Any idea?
