Hey Guys,
I am planning on getting the HHKP2
but dont really know if it is worth the
money because i cant really test it
anywhere.
Where should i buy it in Europe and what
would be a "normal" price for it?
And do you know how much it would
cost in Japan when i would buy it there?
>>54549595
the fucking irony here... you gotta be pretty fucking autistic to get annoyed about something so incredibly insignificant
i either have to have my hand on it or it gets in the way of my mouse and fucks shit up.

>>54552944
holy shit. people actually go for curved and ultrawide monitors. I can understand gsync
Thing that annoys me intensely:
special snowflake colored key caps
>>54552971
Curved is objectively better than flat. In no way is flat better than curved. Curved improves immerison and makes the screen seem bigger than it actually is. If you compare both curved and flat same model side by side you'd see a massive difference. Ultra wide provides much better FOV for games and movies.
>>54552959
All the other 34" ultrawides that do 70-80hz out of the box. Literally half the price for no hurrr gsync
>>54553089
Uhhh lol. G-Sync makes a massive difference over V-Sync you know? Just skip to 1:20.

FreeSync (and the disgusting proprietary G-Sync) makes it possible to watch films on your computer.
It's impossible to watch a film on a regular 60 Hz monitor. 24 does not divide 60 evenly.

So what are your guy's opinion on the new "Tactile Clears" that Gateron recently put out? Apparently they're the exact same in terms of feeling as the 67g Zealios (same spring weight and slider), but they currently cost $0.35 a switch off of winkeyless.
It's funny, because Zeal stated they weren't supposed to be restocked after the first time they sold out, but they've been back in stock now for awhile. Guess Gateron gives no fucks.
Wonder if the price on Zealios will drop or not now.
>>54553786
i literally just got 120 of them in the mail
as far as i can tell they're the same slider as zealios
>>54553786
gaterons are my favorite of the cherry clones, I'd pick them over a reddit meme switch any day.
>>54553819
you realize zealios are made by gateron, right?
>>54551067
>the type of shit manbabies care about
>>54553802
I have nothing against Zeal, but I hope this stops him from trying to charge one shekel per switch anymore. Even with the group buys at $0.75 per switch, I don't see how he will be able to compete without lowering the prices.
Anyway, I might just go with the Gateron Clears this time for my Ergodox kit sitting in a box currently.
>>54553670
So good we have 24hz modes on our monitors.

>>54553786
do they actually feel exactly the same?
>>54554900
yeah, pretty close
>>54554900
They're supposed to be identical sliders, so in theory yeah. Haven't tried either switch yet though.
>>54554910
I wonder if Zeal would try to press charges against Gateron, since they're using the stem design he submitted for Zealios correct? The design is apparently slightly different than the stock MX Clear slider.
>>54555070
but gateron makes zealios
So, mechfags - what would be the best keyboard for striking fours keys *very* rapidly at maybe 10-15 times a second in precision pattern?
I have a question for anyone reading this: if the tactile feedback of browns appeal to you, why? I bought a switchtester and it just feels like my old GBA SP that had a bunch of sand stuck in the power switch. Will I learn to be okay with that, or even learn to appreciate it over time?
I've pretty much narrowed down my decision to reds, but if anyone has some information which would give some last minute change in opinion in favor of browns.
>>54555218
My board is a few years old and the browns on it feel more tactile than on the switch testers I got. I like the action more than blues, and it has feedback unlike browns. I wouldn't have gotten this board though had I been aware of MX Clears.
>>54555315
unlike reds*
>>54547711
Exactly what I'm looking for. Where did you get it and how much was it?
>>54549163
I only wish the Dell Executive had mechanical switches. Other than than would type on 10/10.
>>54555370
Hope you're not dumb enough to spend 900 bucks on a different color
>>54555315
Anything about the feedback you like in particular? I'm leaning towards reds precisely because the feedback just irritates me.
>>54555315
nice tkl mod
>>54555315
I too forget the directions for hotpockets
>>54555315
What's this? A keyboard for janitors?
>>54555456
It has a bump, and it doesn't take half the key travel to reset the bump like clicky switches. If you don't like feedback, just go with reds or blacks.
>>54555610
Thanks for the advice, but I guess what I'm asking is why that bump is desirable. I'd just like to understand.
>>54555096
Yeah, but I thought it was an agreement that Gateron could only use Zeal's design for Zealios, since he'd be then able to make a profit off of them. It appears that Gateron just used the exact same design for the Tactile Clears, not that I'm against it or anything.
>>54555717
gateron is a chinese company, do you think they really care?
anyway they're not selling them on boards or anything, they're only available through winkeyless right now
>>54555713
For me it means I know I've pressed the key. I don't always fully depress the keys down to begin with. And reds are softer if I'm not mistaken too
>>54555765
If I've down my research properly (and if I'm feeling it out right), the only difference between red and brown is that bump. But I don't know, I'm new to all this and only looking at mechanical keyboards because my sidewinder x4 has been discontinued.
>>54555713
It's positive feedback, like the sound your car makes when you make a turn signal or shut the door. People here don't like browns because the feedback is piss weak.
>>54547386

I have been using this model for the last 10 or so years and I would like to engage myself in the mech keyboard meme. Is there a board out there that would be a good starting point? I love this keyboard because of the shape really. A number pad isnt important, but I still want to use arrow keys.

Again from Unicomp, you have to do it yourself.

here you go

>>54567166

no i'm sorry back lighting is terrible and you should consider suicide
as this picture shows the keys are weighted differently for different fingers

>>54567372
i'll get the 104u then, what's the closest cherry mx switch to topre in case i decide to buy a keyboard with reactive lighting i think it looks pretty cool since topre doesn't have leds
>>54567517
there is no mx switch like topre
>>54567578
can i take out the switches from a 104u and put them in a keyboard with leds i think it should work since they're just keyboard switches
>>54567517
Browns or Ergo Clears, but that's stretching the comparison. MX != Topre.

I was actually thinking about trying to do that with a Tex trackpoint.
Hey guys. I'm looking for a new keyboard, in the 60% range. I'd like it to have availability to use aluminum cases. I've been looking at the Vortex POK3R. I saw they're releasing an RGB version soon, but it doesn't seem as though they'll be releasing it with MX Greens. I may just settle for the RGB with MX Blues, or possibly settle on white LED's with MX Greens.
Thinking about buying this keyboard with reds.
I dont really care about backlighting and all the memebuttons in the top right (except the volume wheel maybe). But it looks kinda nice, is fullsized and well built and i like the armrest.
Should i pull the trigger?

I'm considering the pok3r with mx clear not rgb, it hurts paying 149€+shipping (170~USD).
any idea, how to get it cheaper in europe? ANSI US, if I can get it with rgb better.

No idea. I'm a privileged USA buyer.

I would say RGB is a meme, and go for the white LED w/ greens, but if you are set on RGB, you could probably desolder the switches and change to greens, but I'm not sure it would be worth the extra work

I suck dick like a god, no homo.
I was going to Miami next year, so maybe I will buy it then.

Yeah saw that, they don't show the price with taxes, so it is 140€~ and the led version 160€+
