Got my yellow modifier keys and think it looks really good. Not as bright in person. Don't really use the back light much anyway.

Hello again /g/
Reminder of what I posted about two days ago:
>>54485619
>>54485631
>>54485814
>>54486368
Well, I received the adapters, and the result is quite disappointing: it doesn’t seem to work. It’s really a pity, because this keyboard really has a nice feeling, but it must be too old and doesn’t speak a recent enough language to be correctly converted by the active ps/2 to usb adapter. I’ll have to send them back to Amazon.
Well, I guess it’ll stay with my old computer I got it with, and use it only when I’ll times to times boot it again (but as it cannot run anything newer than Win3.1, well…)
hello my n words
>>54514575
i really like it
>>54514961
dude you need only 1 thing
a Soarer converter
google it
you have to DIY it. go to /diy/ and learn more electronics and programming ,then buy a Arduino Pro Micro from the chinese for 5$, (like me) and upload Soarer's converter to it, and connect it all up and enjoy.
I bought my Pro Micro (atmel 32u4 usb-enabled microcontroller) today. Waiting 3 weeks to get it, in the meanwhile refurbishing muh Wang keyboard.
>>54514961
You bought a shitty cable that doesn't give enough power to the keyboard. The AT adapter is fine, but you need something like this for USB
www.amazon.com/dp/B000BSJFJS/
A Soarer's converter will do the same thing, but you only need to use that if it's an XT-only keyboard.
I'm poor and retarded, pls rate:

Also, anything like that but with brown switches?
>>54515159
>anything like that but with brown switches?
I've yet to see a motospeed with browns, but you should be able to find other chink knockoffs with browns if you look around.
Not that you should. Browns suck.

Do any of you use a mechanical keyboard in an office setting?
>>54515035
>not 'hello my nkro's'
>>54515087
thanks for the advice, but ugh, Amazon US apparently doesn’t ship it to France. I found one on ebay that does, but the shipping costs about 20$. Well, I guess that’s better than buying a whole new mechanical keyboard
>>54515060
thank you too, I’ll try first what the anon quoted above said then your advice, to be honest I’m not really that much in DIY.
>>54515217

when i ta'd i used a chinkboard when i had to type up a lot of stuff
>>54515195
What's wrong with browns? I was considering blacks too, but I'm not really sure ...
>>54515257
Might be different brands on amazon UK, it's an OEM part that a whole bunch of companies sell under theirs.
Also check your board for an AT->XT switch, it needs to be on AT mode for these to work.
>>54514575
Waiting patiently for my CMY mods to arrive.
>>54515217
Yes.
>>54515311
>Might be different brands on amazon UK, it's an OEM part that a whole bunch of companies sell under theirs.
I see.
>Also check your board for an AT->XT switch, it needs to be on AT mode for these to work.
Alas, there is none, I also checked inside but there’s no such switch
>>54515305
>What's wrong with browns?
They feel like reds with dirt in them, the tactile bump on them is weak as shit
Hey guys. I'm looking for a relative small, as in TKL or smaller, keyboard to use as a portable keyboard for my PC. I'd like to get something either with a silver aluminum casing, or something that can be swapped to a silver aluminum casing, to match my PC. I'd also like Cherry MX Greens as the switch. LED isn't necessary, but I'd prefer either red or white.
I've been thinking of the Leopold FC660M with Greens and getting a silver case for it.
Also, here's my shit on my desktop.
>> $80 - $130
>> US
>> Black or Clear
>> ANSI
>> 100% or TKL
>> Don't mind backlights but don't care if it has any
>> shitty razer lycosa
I got myself one of those switch testers and found that I really like black/blue/clear switches. I see why most people don't like browns though.
>>54515207
Jesus Christ I'm retarded.
I thought you had some super fucked up right shift.
>>54515498
unless they're gateron browns
then they feel great
>>54515537
So I saw in the last threads that you got that orange alps board. How do you feel about them?
>>54515536
Lmao, welcome to the UK, where our keyboards have an L whee right shift is.
Now the question is whether to keep the full RGB modifiers like in >>54514575 or to just nab the red escape key and sell the rest.
>>54515390
I've got the blanks of those too. I don't think I'll use them though.
>>54515833
I guess that’s only for people who are learning to type? :’)
>>54515880
I think a black escape with the rgb mods would look better.
>>54515774
they sort of suck
they're tactile in that you get some resistance on a leaf spring then it drops right to the bottom
so its a bit like topre, except topre is smoother
i much prefer the cherry type tactiles, because you can ride that bump
>>54516237
you can ride my bump
it's very tactile
>>54516237
Interesting, sounds like you're in the minority on them being bad.
I loved mine when I got them them stock. Then I made them clicky, added some dry lube to the stems, and added more resistance / tactility to them by bending the leafs a little.
They feel better than blue alps now from what I could tell. (sold my KB-101a because of it)
Just received my Magicforce mechanical keyboard with imitation Black MX keys.
Wow. This is fucking amazing. I'm tying at like 1.5x the normal speed. And it feels amazing. Wow, no wonder this is a cult. Props to you guys. I think I can type forever with this thing. Let me just keep tying, ok, you can stop reading now. This is just a fucking test to see how awesome this mechanical meme tier keyboartd is. I hate that this didn't come with a meta key and a numpad, but I probably should have been more prudent while shopping. All I wanted to get was a """starter""" mechanical keyboard and this was only $40 w/ shipping so that was attractive to me. Whoa, this is actually addictive. No longer will I be plagued with horrible membrane keyboards. I will finally be typing the way man was intended to type, mechanically. Fuck you membrane niggers for memeing me into not buying a mechanical keyboard for all these years. I could have typed so much more and experienced these feels for so much longer. In fact I think there's a Jewish membrane keyboard conspiracy afoot here; that's why all laptops come default with membrane keys not mechanical keys.
Is there any difference between old browns and new browns? I got some switch testers in and the browns on them definitely feel less tactile than the ones on my old Das.
>>54516608
>Fake MX Black
>Feel
bait/10 but I'll bite.
Kinda like this one!
First mechanical keyboard.
>>54516682
I haven't experienced anything other than membrane keyboards, so this is a huge step up.
This is what I bought and am typing on right now
Managed to find a Leopold FC210TP in black with brown keys on eBay. Arriving Monday. Am excite.

Welcome to the club anon, I remember that feeling when I got my first one. I thought I was crazy for spending 70 bucks on a keyboard.
Kind of funny looking back. I must be somewhere past the 600 bucks mark with this stuff by now.
My keyboards <3
>>54516608
cool, blacks are a bit stiff but still nice and smooth.
you can always buy a separate Cherry/ALPS numpad if you really need one, but it's not hard to get used to 60%.
>>54514225
Do people unironically believe this or is it just post purchase rationalization?
>>54517037
I unironically believe. Shit tactility > no tactility.
>>54517083
Have you tried any linears on an actual keyboard yet?
I like tactile switches, but linears are damn nice too.
Shit tactility is just that though. Shit.
>>54516935
Idk, this doesn't feel stiff at all. Can't wait to try the other ones.
>>54517037
well i only have tried blues and browns and i prefer browns, i dig the subtle tactility and the lightness, i haven't tried clears yet but since switch lightness is important to me i'm pretty sure they are not for me

Just a quick question, I wanna buy a ducky keyboard, how do I know if it's a legit one or just a fake replica?
>>54517497
I've yet to heard of fake duckys, but I don't think you'd have anything to worry about if you don't buy from a chinese seller.
E. g. Get one from mechanicalkeyboards.com or some other website that appears legit.
>>54517628
ok thanks to know.
>>54516375
It probably varies greatly depending on condition. Like I've mentioned before, the SKCM orange I have are a scratchy mess with barely any tactility.
>>54517474

Also don't use UPS if you're in Canada, I did so accidentally and holy shit the brokerage fees.
>>54515537
Shame about the usb port on those. I was gonna get one until I realized it had one like that.
The one on my FC660M is so wobbly after a year, I looked into replacing it with a hard wired cable but it looked like a bitch
>>54518176
the varmilo?
if it gets fugged, i'll replace it
>>54517083
So you're saying that ice cream with tiny pieces of bird shit mixed in, is better than ice cream with no toppings?
>>54518399
Yeah the varmilo. Do you happen to have a closeup pic of the usb part of the pcb? The one on the fc660 looks like a bitch to fix
Plus I'm totally inexperienced with soldering, I did it a few times when I was like 13 and fucked everything up
>>54518489
that might be one off the most retarded things i have ever read
>>54518609
no i don't
i imagine its similar
most mini usb boards are like that
>>54517137
Try reds and then toll understand why everyone says browns are shit
Where's the best place to buy a mech in Canada?
>>54519425
It's in the fucking OP god damn
Somewhere I can find mechanical keyboards typing sounds? I'm very curious.
>>54519474
Youtube, but I can record whatever you don't find.
Have a studio mic and dozens of switch types.
>>54519474
Youtube? Search "mechanical keyboards typing" or "mechanical keyboard switch sounds" and im sure youll get a lot of results.
Search "[Name of specific switch] typing" for specific results.
My keyboard arrived a lot quicker than estimated, and it turns out this "Just Launched" seller didn't steal my money.

Just ordered this with blue/green switches to replace my POS Microsoft wired keyboard.
>>54517108
>>54519256
I have tried typing on reds, I wasn't quite sure what everyone liked about them. For a lack of a better term, they feel bouncy, without any particular feedback.
What term can I use to search for keyboards that have a very low base, so the keys are raised up?
>>54522102
Floating?
>>54522295
Yes, thank you!
I like this keyboard a lot besides the engraved keys.
Is the Novatouch any good given I put PBT keycaps on it?
KB Paradise V60 w/ Matias Quiet Click (Alps SKBM Black clone). Keycaps off of a FK-2001, laser engraved.
Goldtouch numpad, Cherry MX Brown.
Need a new spacebar, very flimsy ABS, FK-2001 uses a different stabilizer unfortunately.
Mainly bought it to check out the mx speed switches but I am probably making it ortholinear in a couple of weeks
Has anyone here had to deal with key chatter? What do you do about it?
>>54522516
Yes, but for the best experience you'll have to silence it with pads
>>54523999
I bought a soldering station to desolder my shine 3 and resolder on some gateron reds

I am also using it's controller because I want rgb and don't have the motivation to program that shit.

>>54525172
Have used them for a couple of days and they are okay.
When will you fags reduce the keyboard to the fucking 2 key form factor? 0 and 1 ? Anything
over 2 keys is now a meme faggots.

how do you people use these without wanting to slit your wrists and bleed to death?
>>54526231
Topre, matias QC, clears.
Browns suck.
>>54526941
Actuation is higher, but actuation force is the same. Total travel distance is also smaller.
They probably feel like a little bit stiffer reds with o-rings.

I've been debating between a Realforce 87U and a WASD V2 for about a month now. All I've had to go on are the Cooler Master and WASD switch testers.
>>54527114
can you post circuit diagram? i understand its in a matrix but thats about it
>>54526231
Clears. Quieter than most other switches since you're not inclined to bottom out.
>>54527172
Not really. I just followed this:

>>54527075

>>54527669
Nopoo choch mini
>>54527438
there was a german fag here a few weeks ago having an autistic fit about ANSI
screaming that americans have to be different and special snowflake, while ignoring that there's a different ISO layout for every yuropoor country.
he actually cited his internet test IQ after claiming to be more intelligent than any american
it was fucking hilarious
anyone else find ISO very aesthetically pleasing?
>>54527942
cut euros some slack- they have nothing
>>54528398
sort of
but the placement of the left shift and enter are objectively worse for little to no benefit
>>54528429
hey how do you get a yuropoor foaming at the mouth in autistic rage?
suggest an american way of doing something is slightly better
>>54528398
As a former ISO users, I can confirm that ISO is less AESTHETIC than ANSI.
ISO has some nice looks to it, but it can't beat the symmetry of ANSI.

Allright, i want to buy into a machanical 60% with simple black keypaps, but with glow in the dark lettering.

>>54528664
All my life i typed on ISO. Had 0 problem switching to ANSI
Sup nigs
>>54530506
like i said in the battlestation thread it looked way better with the labels and the blue caps
at least you sould have gotten all whites to give a nice contrast to the industrial case
>>54530539
I tried all white, looks boring.
How to Topres compare to Cherry switches in terms of durability? Is there any noticable degrading over time?
What's a good first mechanical keyboard you would suggest?
>>54530652
Model M or Model F, fuck the rest.
>>54530611
and that doesn't look boring?
it is the most boring posibility
you just removed the legends and the blue touch that makes that keyboard special
but ey, in the end is a matter of preference
i would appreciate if you posted all whites tho
>>54530539
This guy's an idiot. No way would it look better with all white.
But you should definitely have kept the blue. Was that intelli's?
>>54530688
this honestly
my first purchase was a model m
i have now over 15 keyboards with diferent switches
only the model f is better than the model m
how could i convert from ISO to ANSI without having to get a new board?
Ok but where can i get a normie mech keyboard? I just want something better than my CM Storm keyboard. Layout is fine, i could lose the 10keys if i needed to. Backlit would be good for visibility but again i don't need it. Anything in my realm that's less than 100 bucks? (I have the red one by the way)
>>54530719
>>54530688
Thirded, the standard Model Ms and Model F ATs are still good layouts for dome switchers.
XTs are cheaper, but more expensive to convert and dat layout.
>>54530748
CM storm is as "normie" as it gets
>>54530776
Dawg it was on sale for $12. I need a keyboard. Spent the extra cash on a i5 4670K. But the keys have gotten to the point where they feel just a little too stiff and shitty.

>>54530876
>Redragon Kumara
i was looking at those, that's my best bet i think but ugh the glossy keys are killin me
>>54530912
Luckily they're standard ANSI, most boards in that range need a new set of caps anyway.
>>54530897
blaks are supposed to make your keyboard look minimalistic but the model m is like the most non minimalistic keyboard ever and trying to make it look that way just doesn't work, i say put on the legends...
also why do you have one of the homing keys on 2 instead of j
>>54530716
it's not my fault that you're a tasteless faggot ;)
>>54530966
blanks******
>>54530939
no idea what any of that means
>>54531020
the keycaps on that keyboard are shit, but they are easy to find a replacement for
>>54531020
It means you can replace the keycaps with standard sets (unlike your CM).
Most boards come with shitty quality keycaps from the factory in that price range.
>>54530966
this guy is right, your right homing key is in the wrong place
>>54530966
Thank you for finding my homing key! But desu I think it looks good with blank caps and it's forcing me to touch type more often which is a good thing.
>>54530897

Are Cherry MX Black ok with that keycap set?
Is there anything I should take in consideration?
>>54530897
Ugh. Didn't know you didn't have the legends on the others. Looks worse, desu.
>>54531101
I can never understand why anyone would want a HHKB.
>>54530627
The durability is pretty good and is at least similar to Cherry switches. The big points of wear are the rubber and the spring which will slowly get softer over time (we're talking many years here) and might eventually break (even longer).
Unlike a traditional rubber dome keyboard Topre switches do not rely on physical contact to register the press of a key. Instead it measures the change in resistance as the spring compresses. This greatly reduces the wear from moving parts.
In contrast, Cherry switches use a folded metal leaf as the contact point which the slider keeps bending and rubbing against.
>>54531155
Think I should switch back?
>>54531159
rubberholics just have to spend 250 dollars on domes because there's a ""CONIC SPRING"" in them...
>>54513649
your desk looks like shit and you lack dragon dildos, now fuck me in the ass.
>>54531159

i'm not going to justify the price, but i can afford it so whatever

Hey guys, I'm the guy last thread who had trouble finding a full size keyboard with MX Clear's. Well, some kindhearted anon suggested the WASD V2, saying that they came in clears, and oh my holy fucking shit, this feels amazing. I got it rush delivered this morning and I have never felt anything better. Thank you so much anon, I'll treasure this thing forever.
>>54531286
Hope you got the PBT keycaps.
>>54531075
good to know. are they expensive?
>>54531315
Didn't know the difference until just now, I'm guessing I got the ABS as the keycaps are smooth. They're fine for right now, but I wonder if I can get PBT caps from WASD for this one, it's the Code 104 MX Clear with white backlight
Well I put the original keys back on. Too bad I couldn't customize this thing
>>54531366
Huge variety of options, search PBT keycaps on Amazon and you can get an idea on price.
Signature Plastics sets are much more expensive.
>>54531369
WASD sells backlight PBT keycaps. Some of the V2s come stock with PBT. The CODEs have ABS.
>>54531391
nigga if you like the blanks more use the blanks like wtf man dont let us random fags on 4chan dictate your life
>>54531442
Sweet, I'll put that on the wishlist for now
Okay, so one more thing. This CODE keyboard has a detachable micro USB cable for it's wire, it comes with a USB to PS/2 adapter, should I be using that instead of the USB hub built into my monitor or is USB the best way to go? I've got plenty of open ports, I just want the setup that's going to give the best response time and number of key presses at the same time.

The USB standard has a limit of 6 keys + unlimited modifiers (like ctrl and alt) at the same time. This is more than you'll probably ever use unless you play an advanced flight simulator.
Still, the PS/2 adapter would remove this limit if you feel like you need it.
>>54531391
That looks better. Thanks.
Also, why the fuck does t-b-h change to desu?
>>54532025
I fucking knew I didn't type 'desu'
>>54532025
the common basketball american abbreviations change
s-m-h t-b-h and f-am
baka desu senpai
>>54532025
Some kinda halloween thing that never got changed back because mods are too busy masturbating

>fell in love with blue switches sound and feeling
>gonna have to return it because reasons...
Really looking for a non standard layout, ergo dox is too much, HHKB2 looks great, but not sure about topre, never ha the chance so...
Some other keyboards? (absolutely looking for non standard, comfy programming layout) or will I like the topre switches considering I only tested blue switches and I love em?
>>54532109
ah, the pok3r also on my list.
Pok3r, HHKB2? other?
>>54532025
Excessive use of the meme led the staff to add a word filter.

you could spend a stupid amount on a korean riced up board that has the HHKB layout
>>54531148
anyone?
>>54532457
Sure, if you want to wait 6 months. Those caps are on Amazon US for like 40 bucks, and yes they work.
>>54532260
What's the point, also no image.
>>54527756
I really wanna buy the Miami caps and use them in a 104 layout. Any recommendations for keyboards? Preferably mx blues and 100 usd or less.
>>54532546
just look at the other boards on the site to get an idea
>>54531159
try it out and see why. It's nice.
>>54533238
>spend $300 and see why
>>54532109
I made the switch from blues to topre. haven't regretted it.
>>54533251
try 180. and if you don't like it, return it or sell it. there have been 3 anons here so far that have returned them because they didn't like topre. You act like it's hard work.
>Budget
around 100 euroshekels
>Location
Europoor
>Preferred switch type
not loud, no linear
>Layout
ANSI
>Form factor
TKL
>Backlight
doesn't matter
>Previous/current keyboards
rubber domes/notebook keyboards
I want to try this mechanical meme, recommend me some
>>54530302
Anyone?
>>54522712
nice caps, oh and nice wrist rest enjoy your RSI
>>54526095
got a pok3r with clears
any way to open it up without desoldering?
>>54527269
used a bit too much solder but good job
I'm at a loss... white or black?
>>54534493
>>54534493
Black, then get the wood case and wrist rest off massdrop for it.
>>54534556
>wrist rest
Enjoy your carpal tunnel.
>>54534493
I'm going with white. found it used, like 2-3 months of light use it seems, for half price. Can't pass that up. Planning to add the sunset or miami memecaps as well.
>>54534556
that case looks soo fucking good but it costs like 300 dollars right? fuck that shit man
>>54525893
It isn't built into PCB?
Seems more trouble than it is worth. You pretty much have to scrap the current PCB to make it ortholinear.
Seems to me that a teensy would work better.
Currently working on this. Will get a teensy controller and a whole shitload of weird functionality.
So full paint job or no? Key legend will need changed anyway so...
I was thinking matte black polyurethane with blue legends.
>>54534593
I laugh out loud every time I see the enjoy your carpal meme. If he's already resting his wrists while writing, getting a wrist rest is only helping.
Was finally fortunate enough to try a HHKB... holy shit what a glorified rubber dome.
Cherry MX for life.
Seriously, other than the layout and size what's the damned appeal of Topre switches when so many bitch about rubber domes?
>>54536288
I like Topre more than MX switches. They feel and sound nicer.
>>54536288
pure idiocy
topre fags don't even belong here
My Realforce 87u came in today. Gotta say I'm in love.
Any places to get mechanical keyboards in LA?
>>54536624
the internet
>>54536540

>>54536779
It really does look like a point of sale keyboard.

I want a model M space saving keyboard. How do I acquire one
>>54537088
Why do you want one?
>>54537088
ebay. if you're lucky, maybe cheap at some local auctions or an ecycler that'll let you dig around.
>>54537093
I really like my Model M but I don't need a numpad.
>>54537108
I work at an electronics recycling place and see lots of Model M's and other mechanical keyboards, but no ssk yet.
