Oh nice, a new thread.
>Budget: $100
I'm new to this stuff, I want a keyboard that's really comfortable to type on fast.
What switch-type/keyboard should I get?
Pok3r master race
I have a topre realforce88 in a plastic bag
Its better than any kb you will ever own
Fuck you
>>54962934
Are you a heavy or light typer?
>>54963000
ok.
>>54962934
Whatever you like. Typing fast is possible on every switch, comfort is a matter of your personal preference.
Look at the different types of switches and see what appeals to you, then come back to make sure you didn't choose the wrong type of switch that we don't approve of.
>>54963205
Still not a Topre.
>>54963000
Why do you keep it in plastic bag? Is it too precious?
>>54962750
i want this setup. what am i looking at?
>>54962955
wasd keycaps are not though
>>54963227
are you pretending to be retarded?
>>54963164
I've been using the scissor switch on my laptop for ages so long I honestly don't know but it definitely feels lighter to type on than the average Dell membrane, maybe ~50g is nice?
>>54963215
I know I hate blues, way too loud and squeaky; like I'm squishing a rat with each key press.
Browns seem pretty disliked here I wouldn't want a keyboard that feels "like it's been stuffed with dirt"
Blacks I hear aren't very good for typing because they're too heavy (never tried them though)
Anything else is $120+, help
>>54962750

This link no longer works
>>54963288
Maxkeyboard but nice try. I'm trying to get my hands on ORIGINATIVE or Enjoy PBT beige / gray blanks but everywhere I search they are sold out.
>>54963373
I would check if there's a store nearby where you can check switches. The keyboard doesn't really matter since most of the typing experience comes from the switches (and some from which keycaps you're using). This is so different for everyone there isn't a 'best' switch
>>54963237
Xiaomi Redmi 3
HHKB Pro 2
Some cheap ass mouse
>>54963373
Your perception of browns is correct. The rest is pretty much a matter of preference, blacks are perfectly fine for typing, but most switches are perfectly fine for typing.
>>54962750
I'm gonna get a Logitech G810 this fall. Personally I like the switches on it. Any better mechanical gaming keyboards with RGB LEDs out there?

Get out.
>>54963583
Shut up faggot everyone has their preferences.
raging so hard at the fucking austrian customs department. they've been holding my keycaps for a whole week already and been super rude on the phone too.
how do you prevent key chatter?
>>54963900
Why the hell are they holding your keycaps?
"Herbert, der Mann hat n' Haufen kleine Plastikteile bestellt, schau mal ob er n' Terrorist oder so was is"
>>54963942
You don't, all you can do is either replace the switch or fix it with software.
A debounce time is already programmed in the firmware for the regular debouncing of the switches, but obviously switches still can go awry, in which case all you can do is what I mentioned above.
>>54963976
I called the post office service hotline and the guy (very friendly btw) told me a lot of people have been complaining recently about customs holding their shit for 2weeks+. they seem to be behind quite a bit and just don't care.
Are Noppoo shit? The Noppoo mini is on sale amazon UK right now for 55£
I'm kinda weary of them being chinese, and having Gatreon switches instead of cherry ones
>>54964175
>Are Noppoo shit?
Not at all. The white ones come with PBT caps and gateron linears are far smoother than the cherry equivalents. Not to mention that they're cheaper. Go right ahead.
>>54964175
they are really good but you wont be able to replace the spacebar
its pbt though so you wont really need to
>>54962955

>>54964351
Nope, I'm just reminding you of the fact that it's not September yet in order to distract myself from the fact that there's nothing exciting for me to wait for right now.
I like your keyboard/keycaps/cable combo btw, reminds me that I should get some parts for my soldering station so that I can make my own usb cables.
And it's nice to see someone other than me and the local tripfag post their shit. I always wish more people would post their keyboards here.
>>54964370
Whenever the exclusivity contract with Ducky runs out.
Maybe. You'll still have to wait for Leopold to implement them in their keyboards.
>>54964481
I don't change mine often enought to post regularly, I also don't like posting the same set up over and over again!
Is making your cable easy? I love pexonpcs work but I would quite a few and they sure aren't cheap.
Cherry MX Blues w/ 40A-r O-rings, yay or nay?
>>54964612
Not very difficult at all from what I've seen.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Creating-you-own-USB-cables/
All you need is some cable, paracord (or whatever you prefer to wrap your cables in) and some usb connectors and some heatshrink tubing.
All of the materials needed are available for dirt cheap on ebay, typically with free chinese shipping.
And of course you need a soldering iron, though it seems that a really basic one will already be enough.
Hey /mkg/, I'm in the market for a mechanical.
Looking for the following features:
- ISO German layout
- full size (TKL would be okay too I guess)
- detachable cable is a must (routing a plus)
- The cheaper the better
- Backlighting is an absolute no go
Thought maybe you'd have a recommendation?

I feel like everything there could be summed up with "Look it up on deskthority/geekhack and ask in the thread if you have any further, more specific questions. Don't buy Corsair or Razer."

What's so good with mechanical keyboards /g/?
Honestly the ones I have tried doesn't feel that much different from "regular" keyboards, just that some of them are clicky.
Pic related my current keyboard
>>54966236
new sheets hopefully
>>54966206
Wow, it's kind of impressive how fucked this is. I ordered an acrylic mounting plate that would fit inside a stock FC660 case, but the main post hole isn't aligned properly and the plate is too wide. This is what I get for trying to put together something outside the standard parameters.
How do I get this?

GB on GH.
>>54966852
It looks very nice, but you might be sad later when your keycap stems crack.
What's a good PBT set for a quickfire rapid
There's another huge problem with mechs that you people don't talk about. They can't do backlighting properly due to the position of the lights.
Look at the number pad in pic related. The primary letterings are way too bright, but the secondary lettering? They're almost invisible.
Don't fall for the mech meme, people.
Sexxy
guys i gotta ask what the appeal of those obnoxious planck keyboards are. like why that as opposed to just a 100 or 65%. how small could your desk possibly be to require something that tiny
>>54963373
You need to be aware of the autism level that floats around this thread and all "enthusiast" discussion places. When you read something like
>it's been stuffed with dirt
you must remember that the person typing it is most likely an autistic retard.
Browns are lovely switches.
>>54967050
idk, but i'm going to find out
ordered it from massdrop, so i'll be lucky if i get it this year
i'm expecting it to be agonizing to use
>>54967075
my first board was browns, and i used to think they're not so bad
then i get switch tester and a few other boards and realized just how fucking garbage they are.
gateron browns are pretty fantastic though
>>54967027
First of all, that's only a problem with backlit mechanical keyboatds.
It also varies a lot depending on which keycaps you use and how the backlighting is implemented. Newer switches have translucent casings that allow for better light diffusion.
Is that a nighthawk or whatever it's called from maxkeyboards? Whatever it is, it already would be far less of an issue has you not bought a piece of shit.
>>54966708
Sorry to hear that anon, I've also been thinking of picking up a clueboard.
Can you fix it with cutting/drilling?
>>54967027
>Falling for the backlighting meme
You'll get older later
>>54967208
Maybe? The mounting holes are so very close to the edges of the plate that, if I sanded it, the leftmost and rightmost switches would end up with one side open. The post is another matter, as I don't think I have tools delicate enough to open a new hole that aligns properly without destroying the rather delicate plate. I could shave the post itself a fair bit, but that could fuck with the case's integrity.
I've reached out to Zach to see what he suggests. He's normally pretty good with communication.
>>54966236
Hmmmmm....
How loud are blue switches compared to black switches?
I used to own a blue keyboard but it was so long ago I literally forgot what they sound like.

Backlights > lamp. Lamps alert the whole neighborhood what you're up to. They let criminals keep more accurate records of what your daily routine is.

Sooo yeah I got this old Hitachi Mechanical Keyboard and i was wondering how to get it to work with modern hardware
>>54967754
you're going to need to post pictures or something

>>54968008
Well my boy you'd be wrong
>>54968032
also its just a bar-code with some barely legible numbers tried to find the Mfg date Code circle thing but it wasn't on either pieces of plastic
>>54968112
So are you just going to ignore me now?
>>54968112
ok what does the connection look like?
>>54968432
the original was an RJ11 connector
>>54968487
ok
you're going to need to know the pin out for it to connect it to PS/2
>>54968552
ok so i guess thats not mine mine only has 4 wires so see where there is a space for where there there could be 6 wires yeah mine doesnt have that also let me get out my soldering iron
>>54968643
as far as i can tell there's two types
4 and 6 pin
>>54968680
aye that's the one
>>54968680
Now what
>>54968810
well connect the right wires now
>>54968830
Really now? thats the thing i dont know what Wires to connect from the PS/2 cable
>>54968680
Also What are the chances shorted it out i forgot to unplug it while soldering on it at one point
Are smug anime face caps a thing?
>>54968848
look up the pin diagram of a ps/2 connector and connect the right wires
>Also What are the chances shorted it out
uh
there was something you're not supposed to ever do like connect some other wire to the +5v, but i forgot
>>54968896
oh well that may have happened
also the PS/2 Cable Wires have the same colors as a Standard USB cable
>>54968906
you need to know what pins the wires go to
>>54968947
well how do i tell which wire goes to which pin
>>54968962
with some continuity tester
>>54968989
i dont have one of those
also there are 5 wires in this Cable
but only 4 places to solder
>>54969011
well you're going to need one
the simplest ones are just a batter a lightbulb and 2 wires
you can just ignore the wire you dont need
>>54969074
ok what kind of Bulb
batteries and i think the Bare wire is the ground not the black one
>>54969074
Will a CFL and a 9v work?

lmfao
try buckling springs
>>54971087
50As are good enough for me. Bear in mind that the clicks themselves are still quite loud, and don't sound as good without the clack.
>>54965314
I got this one from pexonpcs, great if you're based in the uk/eu. Not sure where to look if you're unlucky enough to live outside this glorious area.
>>54966852

Step two: Buy keycaps
Step three: Put keycaps on 60%

>>54963373
All MX switches feel the same. Anyone claiming otherwise needs a check up from the neck up.
>>54971087
I heart my o-rings. They are cheap af, just grab a pack and try them out.
>>54971440
Really all I want is the click feel without the high pitched squeal, so I guess this is a sort-of poor man's MX Clears
>>54971806
Problem is the shipping can be a bit expensive, $8 on $15 o rings is a big hike. What hardness do you use?
>>54962750
Is that some gunslinger girl?
Great taste.
>>54972051
Certainly is
>>54972013
There's a drop on massdrop right now, but they're 50A. I seriously hope you're not considering buying o-rings from JewASD.
>click feel without the high pitched squeal
Matias Quiet Click or Topre. Topre is not as crisp but feels good nonetheless.
What's a good spring weight if I want to modify a linear switch to be between stock Gateron Reds and Blacks?
Is Unicomp the only place for buckling spring keycaps?

>I get home, plug USB, doesn't work
>realize keyboard has also ps2 cord

tl;dr: I got a working 7G for 10€
>>54973965
whites or clears, if you want stiff and tactile
If you don't mind the click, greens are even closer to black alps
>>54974073
that would lead right into my next question, what boards would you recommend with either white or clear switches?
I bought a HHKB Professional 2. It feels amazing and looks amazing.
But is this it? Is this the "end-game"? Is there a better keyboard out there, for like $400-500?
>>54974145
There's no such thing as end-game for the true enthusiast.
>>54973831
Ultrawide has speakers built in. GPU gives it audio.
But I mainly use wireless backbeat pros.
>>54973727
The haro? I got it at a Gundam Cafe store in Osaka. It had chocolate crunch candy in it.
>>54973937
Thanks.
But to be full meme I am missing things like backlighting, an HHKB, and some brocaps.
>>54974133
Any of these:
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=49
I have yet to see a shitty keyboard with Clears or Whites, search the site and buy the one you like the most :)
>>54974133
>>54974554
You probably should go for MX Clear as the White have a soft click still.
Clears are closer to a broken in Black ALPS
>>54963288
>>54970940
Is this keyboard worth it?
I'm about to fall for HHKB or TKL realforce but this one seems kinda good enough.
I like the new bro Reaper Classics
How do i make the " ` " that turns the other way on a pok3r? Is it even possible to do on ANSI?

I often see in these threads keycaps with the stem broken. Shit never happened to me on rubber dome (except on chicklet shitty laptops). Shit doesn't seem to happen on topre.
>>54976732
>I often see in these threads keycaps with the stem broken
I doesn't happen with almost every set of keycaps. The broken stems are an issue with PBT caps made by Gateron.

What do you think about electro capacitive switches?
I have only tried linear non-tactile MX Cherry clones (red Kailhs) and I have a tendency to bottom out. I suppose it would be easier to avoid it when using tactile switches so I'm considering either MX browns or some electro capacitive switches (which should be quiet even if I do bottom out).
>>54977757
>electro capacitive switches
Also known as topre.
>>54977757
There's nothing wrong with bottoming out. If bottoming out on your reds bothers you for some reason you should get o-rings or soft landing pads.
Cherry browns suck and you should not use browns or like browns.
I don't know about Model F's, but bottoming out on Topre (electro-capacitive switches) is almost impossible when typing normally due to the nature of rubber domes.
>>54977811
MX browns are great. You're mad.
>>54977811
Well, I already have o-rings and I still don't like it. I guess I could just get some practice.
>browns suck
Haven't tried them so I suppose I would need to check them before buying. Maybe I'll order a bunch of different switches to try them out.
>>54977863
have you tried other switches?
>>54977863
What other switches have you tried?
I had browns on my first board and thought that they feel amazing. And then I got a switch tester.
Next board had clears.
Are there switch testers that include also switches other than MX Cherry (and clones)?
>tfw typed "<" immediatly after "include"
>>54977863
MX Browns are shit. Feel like reds with dirt in them
>>54978005
coolermaster has topre
that's all you need to try really
>>54978005
https://shop.clueboard.co/LED-Switch-Tester.html
There's this thing here.
Like the other anon mentioned, cooler master has a tester with 45g Topre.
I've also seen all kinds of switch testers on taobao and the like.
What the fuck is pic related? Any idea?
>>54978017
Oh, awesome!
20 euros for 6 keys though. At least the shipping is free.
>>54978041
That is also nice (especially since I could use some soldering practice) but I think I need to try that Topre.
Cheers!

>>54978738
The only use I can think of for a numpad is typing numbers with just one hand, but they should be on the left side since you the only time when you can't use both hands is when you're using mouse with (usually) the right hand.

Now we'll just have to see if they deliver.

Here is your reply.
>>54979932
Isn't that the point?
>>54980440
literally completely subjective
>>54979932
>>54980440
Timestamp your keyboard layout
>>54980378
Donnerwetter. Irgend eine Ahnung zu was das Teil gehört?
>>54980445
yes that was the point with the layout but it has no use when its not on a typewriter
>>54980458
Sorry, such a small bait doesn't deserve more replies.
>>54980493
Enjoy your placebo layout
>>54980440
so why does everyone in the high rankings use qwerty ????
http://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english/top50
because it doesn't fucking matter you contrarian twat
>>54980459
would you not just believe me if i said i use qwerty?
>>54980534
Ha, thought so you twat.
>>54980545
I never said i used anything else. I was just acknowledging a flaw in my own layout.
>>54980463
Anscheinend n' commodore 64, irgendwo weiter oben hier sollte der link stehen
>>54980694
Steht in der Beschreibung, glaub ich aber nicht. Die Belegung passt nicht und ich bin mir jetzt nicht sicher, aber ich glaub der c64 hat keinen 9 poligen seriellen Anschluss... eine externe Tastatur für den c64 macht eigentlich auch keinen Sinn. Und der c128d hat auf jeden Fall einer anderen Anschluss.

only on /g/ would anyone be this bored

Perhaps because not even 1% of people use other layouts. You can type fast on QWERTY but it will cause much bigger stress on your fingers and alternative layouts are about being comfy.
Here is a more reliable list that uses an average over multiple runs: https://www.keyhero.com/topplayers/?page=1
Among the top 100 you can find 6 non-QWERTY users. The proportion is much higher than all non-QWERTY to QWERTY users. Limit to at least 20 games and you get 8 non-QWERTY. At least 50 and you get 9. At least 100 and you get 10. At least games 1000 and you get 17 non-QWERTY users in top 100.
Well, you could say that people that have more than 100 games are autists and autists are more likely to use an alternative layout, but I don't really care when I can access the most used letters without moving my fingers from the comfy home row.
Btw the user with the most games doesn't have information about the used layout, the second uses QWERTY and is followed by another QWERTY and one Colemak.
>>54980459
I'm the other anon you asked and I'm learning Colemak. Using regular QWERTY on main PC because I still type slowly in Colemak as I only recently got interested in comfiness.
>>54980976
QWERTY is good for generic english texts. But for other languages it's shit.

QWERTZ is für homos :^
>>54981089
Nicht schwul.
speaking of QWERTY/QWERTZ,
what happens if set my lyout to ISO-QWERTZ when using an ANSI keyboard?
i guess the key above enter will become the key which is normally to the left of the iso enter?
and the key next to left shift will just go missing, is that right?
>>54981289
yes
>>54981289
You will miss one key: <>

Best for serious use.
How the fuck do you guys navigate text without arrow keys, home/end buttons and others?
>>54981400
they do have arrow keys but under a function layer
>>54976571
too bad keycool only produces with kailh switches now. even on massdrop the cherry option's been removed. i really wanted this keyboard too...
Having pic related. Any idea how to use touchpad as scrollpad in linux?
>>54981473
lfs
>>54981453
oh, damn that sucks. an atlernative would be a custom from winkeyless. they arent that expensive if you buy the switches from somewhere else and do the soldering yourself
>>54979725
This. Mondays are my data entry days so I am fully reliant on my numpad, and it's really efficient. When I'm at home playing games, I never use it so I have a TKL at home.
