Other than that, chinese sites with free chink shipping. The EU is not the place to be looking for keycaps of any particular sort. You can consider yourself lucky if a given keycap set even has an ISO add-on.

You're the one sporting a keyboard with two different keycap sets that has the FN arrows highlighted.

>>
>>54586959
If you don't care about keyboard aesthetics, you should just get some keycaps from an old apple keyboard. Sure, your bottom row would look different, but at least you'd have decent PBT caps.
>>
>>54587009
Did apple make an ALPS? Is the old apple classic keyboard ALPS? I thought it was buckling spring.

V60 spacebar uses costars and a single switch, but every ALPS PBT I come across uses some other stabilizer scheme. I haven't looked yet to see what my options are but that's the only key I don't like the feel of.

They certainly did.

It also uses costar-style wire stabilizers, though I don't know how similar to these are to the stabilizers on your v60, though I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem since it just clips onto the wire anyway, regardless of location.

Not that it'd fit your bottom row.

Speaking of trackball, do you have any recommendations?

Is thumb or whole hand better?
>>
>>54587689

Most seem to recommend fingertip. It seems the better designed hardware is all fingertip too.

I like thumb, but the only real option for thumb is the M570. Everything else (like the elecoms) is trash.

The Keyboard is good, but you should get something than browns.

Also, fuck your language.

>>54587839
>It's the only site I can find selling this keyboard
Let the site owners know that their language sucks on checkout.

Just don't get it with browns and you'll be good.
>>
>>54587868
How about blacks? I've used red before and didn't like them much.
>>
>>54587904
Blacks are fine with me. If you didn't like the lack of tactility, then you won't like blacks either. If it was just the switch being too light, then you'll probably like blacks.

Though you should chose switches by your personal preference, just don't chose browns.
>>
>>54587756
Of the two I'd say the Filco :)
If you want to cut down on clutter as much as you can then the Royal Kludge though.
>>
>>54587940
I just felt like there were a lot of typos when I was using red switches. I currenty have blue switches on my keyboard and like them a lot. I wouldn't mind trying blacks out though.
>>
>>54588180
If you didn't mind the lack of tactility, blacks could be a good change.

I love my Choc Mini, I wasn't expecting to use the extra media functions or anything, but I've grown really attached to it.
After a few years though some of my switches have started to chatter. I've tried a few things to get them back into more reliable order, but I'm thinking it's time to purchase a new keyboard.

Should I get another choc mini? What other options should I look at if I want a 10keyless with black switches?

Build quality, number and type of switches, stock keycap quality and features such as backlighting or programmability are factors which affect the price of a keyboard. Also, brand names.

You can get a magicforce 68 for 50 bucks, or you can get a korean custom for 500. They'll both input shit to your computer, but they're still vastly different from one another.
>>
>>54599811
We just need the slope to remain the same as flipped but the sides to be the original angle.

No seriously.

The case is nice, but the part where it just extends unnecessarily to form that huge overflow that is supposed to be a wrist rest just looks atrocious. It makes the whole keyboard look clunkier and bigger than it actually is, detracting massively from the aesthetic of a small, compact keyboard.

Hence the comparison with the corsair keyboard. Take a look at pic related. It looks atrocious, but it already looks a whole lot better than the thing I posted previously.
