Hi /mkg/.
Should I buy this 35$ tenkeyless non-backlit beauty with blue Gateron switches?
www.aliexpress.com/item/l/32647093778.html
It's so fucking tempting, since it's everything I've ever wanted but at third of the price. I can't justify a keyboard over 50$.

OLD THREAD
>>55147838
Looks neato. I would do it if I felt I could trust Chinermen.
I've been shopping for keycaps lately. I can't seem to find the type of keycaps I'm looking for. I'm looking for the rounded, shiny keycaps like pic related, but I can't find any keycaps like this anywhere.
I'm not talking about the font. I'm talking about the shape and the shine of the keycap itself. It just seems like they are very well made and all I can seem to find are plastic crap.
>>55147869
Here is another example of the type of keycaps I'm talking about. I guess they just don't make them like this anymore.
>>55147854
who cares
>>55147869

signature plastics SA profile?
Anywhoozle, some anon said in the last thread that you have to shim the left shift key on the code keyboards from wasd and I was wondering if anybody have a picture/guide of that 2 step process because I don't want to ruin this thing.
>>55147869
>>55147899
I don't think so. I've looked at those and the PDF seems to imply that there is an actual layer of transparent plastic overlaid over the keycap.
>http://keycapsdirect.com/pdfs/SAFamily.pdf
The keycaps I'm looking for seem to look like piano keys, or at least they look like they might feel like piano keys.
are there any boards with attachable wrists rests that doesn't scream gaymer?

i know because i'm using it right now with this german 60% i put together
it's far easier to hit enter with the right pinky on ansi

what the fuck are you even doing?
ISO enter was made to be pressed with index finger for maximum satisfaction. Keep your pikny shit away from it.

its an definitely an option for other anon, but i still wouldn't take that to work with leds off

I wish I could get into mechanical keyboards but every time I open this general all I see are very rude and mean people who are completely full of themselves and I resist purchasing a mechanical keyboard out of fear that I may turn into one of you.

>>55148204
>ISO enter was made to be pressed with index finger

>>55148537
Exactly, it's all about being able to slam on the enter key like you mean it.

And you'll do everything you can to drive that userbase away.

So a coworker got a keyboard called "TOMOKO" which is apparently 40 bucks when every other keyboard is at least 80, and has cherry keyswitches.

>>55149464
>>55149509
Is this better?
What's a tenkeyless Cherry MX keyboard where the keys are barely sticking out of the case, or even flush with the case? I'm thinking a raised case, not short keys.

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new Brown switch board. And I was wondering, what's better about the Filco Majestouch-2 when comparing it to the CM Quickfire TK? It's double the price and I don't see why that is. Any information would be appreciated. Cheers.
>>55157264
quality
>>55157294
Build quality? I mean, I'll only have it on my desk, I will never move it, how will I benefit from it? Will typing feel better?
>>55157338
I had a Majestouch 2 TKL with blues, it's a fantastic keyboard. The quality is amazing and feels a lot better than the CM one
>>55157388
Is it just purely better due to a better typing feel? Or does it have a more rigid structure etc.
>>55157446
The typing feel is better, and the keyboard is a lot more solid
>>55157264
Filco is quality as it has always been. They have however not really innovated in anyway, so it's hard to justify their asking price.
Depending how on the keyboard, CM offer about the same for considerably less, take for instance the original cm quickfire. If my memory serves me right, it was essentially a rebranded Filco.
>>55157264
I will however not recommended the TK quickfire, as the OEM is iOne, low-tier. And the whole "non-tk" TK idea is a crappy solution.
>>55158083
Yeah, this is what I was thinking. I'm not sure if the Filco is worth twice as much.

I just got my first mech.. a magiforce 68. Any idea where to get a nice coiled cable without getting raped by 8 pounds shipping costs from the UK?.
I am still not willing to pay 40 Euros plus for cable...
>>55158597
they're just not worth it man, I had a new in box ibm buckling spring and the coiled cable got stretched out after extremely minimal use which deprecated the value of the cable immensely not to mention the cable now looking like shite
>>55158597
You can get DIY kits. It's not hard, but if you want to pay someone else then they tend to be pricey.

'Sup /mkg/, I want to buy a Mechanical Keyboard.
So here's the buyers template filled up.
>Budget
My budget is pretty shitty, I can spend 70€ maximum on a keyboard.
>Location (continent at least)
Europe, France.
>Preferred switch type
Clicky switches.
>Layout
I don't get this one, but heck.
I'm in Europe so it's going to be an ISO norm.
For the layout an Azerty compatible keyboard would be nice.
>Form factor
80% or 100%, my preference goes for the 80%.
>Backlight
I don't care if it has leds or no.

Deciding between a Matias and a HHKB. I've been a die hard buckling spring user but I'd like a more compact format.
Can anyone that's used both Topres and White Alps comment on them?
currently typing on a Poker II with Penumbra
if Masdrop drops PBT blanks again (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blank-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open) I think I'll sell both and go for a custom with blanks
>>55162171
I've used Topre and dampened cream alps.
Alps are nice, but I prefer Topre, though I don't know about white alps or Matias switches (yet)
>>55162171
>>55162323
i've got boards with orange alps and matias qc
matias are probably the closest mechanical switch to topre, but they don't feel nearly as nice
they wobble and the keycap options are thin abs or nothing
