How can a keyboard write, if it can't read?

Why won't unicomp make a ten keyless?
I don't think I even like buckling springs over cherry mx blues
>>54619147
no i don't much prefer buckling springs over cherry either
What should I get if I want a really good keyboard (top quality) with 100% of keys, RGB backlighting, and cherry blue/brown/red keys? My budget is $220 and I live in the US.
>>54619300
I'm pretty happy with my Corsair K70. It's arguable how much extra quality you can get beyond "wont break", since the switches should be the same.
>>54619348
I've been looking at the K95, but I've heard there's not much difference between that and the K70. How do you feel about that?
Pretty standard, mx-blues (I like my fullsize)
>>54619403
seems it's only the macro buttons. Which are pretty much useless anyway. I'd go for the K70, looks better. Then again i'm biased.

>>54619225
I am new to the keyboard game. Please tell me, how do people use gorgeous keyboards such as this one?
No arrow keys, no Fx keys, no home, no end, no nothing.
Do people bind these keys to second or third level? Doesn't seem too convenient.
i need a new keyboard since my old one broke (cherry blue). i need it to be tenkeyless and the ones i can find where i live are the cooler master SGK-4020 and the ozone strike battle black (brown and red are also available but black is on sale). i know the cooler master isn't technically tenkeyless but it seems to be just as small so it gets the job done since my problem is the lack of room
between these 2, which one should i go for? price difference is currently not relevant but normally the ozone is more expensive
>>54622352
There's no other way for it to work.
Put your ten fingers to use.
Personally I prefer the full keyboards, more keys to combine if needed.
I'm on my T60 and damn I miss the Numpad.

So on my K70 the right shift key feels mushy and a little harder to press if I press it on the left side ( I use my pinky a lot). I can't see anything wrong but I also can't get at the stabilizer because it's under the plate.
Is there any fix I can do that doesn't require taking the whole damn thing apart?
>>54631924
You could try taking off the keycap and check if you can see anything.
Otherwise, no. Though there's no reason to be afraid of undoing a few screws.
>>54631541
What??
The metal case is the bomb
>>54631246
Check out WASD, you can make a custom key cap set with whatever you want on it. Just download the template and away you go.
>>54632145
I can try. It's just a tedious job and you have to prise off some parts of the keyboard to get at some screws.
I'd like to actually find a replacement stabilizer for it and swap it while I'm there, but the sites that sell are american and want huge P&P.

I posted this in /sqt/ too but since I'm a bit desperate and the only reply I got was "try again tomorrow", I'll post it here too.
I spilled a bit of water inside my mechanical keyboard. I plugged it out and shaked it a bit to make the water fall out. When I plugged it back in, it started closing all the windows I was clicking. I unplugged it, then plugged it again and the leds wouldn't start anymore. Neither does the keyboard record any stroke.
What should I do?

What keycaps
>>54637134
did you quote the wrong post?
>>54637360
It's still in the works (has been for about half a year now since I'm a slow shit).
Here's the back of the case, just got done sanding it an hour ago. It's currently drying in the last bit of sun, then I'll sand it a second time.
The keycaps and switches (dampened cream alps) are from an old apple extended keyboard II that I got my hands on.
You can check out my build log here (needs some updating for that matter)

So I don't really want a mechanical keyboard, mainly because they're expensive, but I need a new keyboard with fancy pretty lights. I'd love chiclet with red LED's, but anything with pretty red LED's would be fine. Is this a bad place to ask?
No bully pls.
>>54637436
>Is this a bad place to ask?
If you're looking for something that's not a mech, yes.
Go ask google.
>>54637418
Its beautiful you god
Also if you are interested in making it coolier remake the case out of concrete
>>54637446
I did, but I figured I'd ask here before purchasing anything, since this is basically the keyboard consumer general.
I'll go ask elsewhere I guess, thank you~
so whats the most autistic thing YOU have ever done?
>>54637463
Thank you.
I'd love to make a keyboard with a case made out of glass (next board will have a translucent case, so that's at least something) as well as one with a marble casing.
Maybe once I'm all full of money and shit I'll be able to afford that.

I've had a Steelseries 6gv2 Red, A Razer Blackwidow 2010 or so, back when they used legit MX Blue switches, currently a Razer Blackwidow 2013 that is on its way out from a horrific water accident. [RIP brave prince]
I'd like to stay away from Razer products and I mostly game on the machine that this keyboard would be used with.
Any recommendations? Thanks!

Glass sounds great but
>muh finger prints
>>54638781
True, though I think it'd be more something simply for the novelty and AESTHETIC of the whole thing rather than functionality.
I'm most curious about how glass would affect the acoustics. I can somewhat imagine acrylic or some other plastic, but I have no idea for how glass would sound.
Does anybody know if it is possible to get black keycaps for the IBM Model M? No, not keycaps from the M13.
>>54638188
Corsair K70 is nice in my experience.
>>54638841
You shouldn't go around recommending keyboards which have a non-standard bottom row and have a history of issues to people.
>>54638837
You can dye them since they're PBT.
>>54638870
I am a newfag to this but I don't know, I do want writing on them. Does anybody have any experience with "sticker labels" on keyboard keycaps? That might work with entirely black Unicomp keys?
>>54638870
>non-standard bottom row
That only matters if you want other keycaps. I personally enjoy the K70 layout above standard layout.
>have a history of issues to people.
Doesn't look half bad to me. Maybe it's just your autism that's showing?
>>54638870
Have a K70 since this year and love it.
Even survived coffee.
>>54639040
>That only matters if you want other keycaps
I understand that you may not care for that, but you really shouldn't come to a keyboard enthusiasts general and recommend someone something that makes replacing the shit thin abs caps it comes with an unnecessary pain.
Amazon reviews aren't really a very good reference either since people who buy that kind of shit don't know shit about keyboards and don't know what they could be getting with the money, and the reviews are made rather shortly after having gotten the product, so obviously issues such as dead LEDs (something that corsair is known for) don't become apparent within that time.
>>54639147
>keyboard enthusiasts
Fair enough. Might not be for everyone, still. Especially apparent since the askee wanted some RBG stuff.
>Amazon reviews
It's Newegg, and people are usually more aware of what they are buying there.
Either way, i may just brush those things off because of the great consumer protection laws where i live. If something breaks, and you havent tortured your device, the seller has to either compensate you, swap it for a new, or fix it within reasonable time.
>>54620982
this keyboard would be great if not for that absolute shit font.

>>54638909
>sticker labels
ehhh, I imagine those wold be shitty.
Unless you want to put the stickers on the front of the keycaps. That might look cool on a model M.
>>54639888
Yeah it probably wouldn't be optimal. Does anybody have any ideas for stores that can make custom printed model M black keycaps with white lettered Swedish layout? I really am trying to find something that can work.

Whoever would do that for you, it would be expensive. That's very specific.
You'll probably either have to get blanks from unicomp and stickers and do pic related.
Or find a very broken M13 with good caps.
>>54640074
Yeah probably, I could put potentially $200 on that but I will see what can be done. Do you know any good front facing stickers?

Do you want a mech or a membrane?
If you're looking for a mech your best guess is the motospeed or magicforce 68. Or the cooler master rapid-i if you want something with cherries.
>>54640267
i dont have enough caps for that otherwise it would be long done
>>54641192

membrane I guess, because it will be cheaper than mech.

>>54642777
I'd recommend asking google in that case. You can get plenty of advice on mechs here, but you'll want to look somewhere else for membrane.
