What's your anon's opinion on matrix keyboards? Are they a meme?
Also, how hard is it to transition to a keyboard like picrelated (Terminus Mini)? It only has 46 keys, insanity.

As a former ISO user I second this
>>55224770
yeah i would mod a hhkb but i dont wanna spend that much :)
>>55223604
Appreciate the help. Looks decent. I'm considering this more than the Tesoro one, as I think Tactile switches would be better for writing a lot
I'm losing hope for a wireless keyboard. It seems all the good ones are wired only.
Is there a place where I can get custom PBT 1.5u/windows keys?

>It seems all the good ones are wired only.
This is correct. There's a few wireless ones out there that are good, but they're usually more difficult to find.

There are a few good tenkeyless/60% ones, like VB87M.

If you blah blah so much about ISO, why don't you just get ANSI and get over it.
Posting here because there's no rubber dome general.
Looking for a new keyboard but I can't afford a mechanical one, is there anything between cheap-ass office rubber dome and a mechanical keyboard or should I just buy my third K120?

>>55225280
Redragon K552 and magicforce are less than 40 bucks. There is no reason to buy rubber domes these days.
Are o-rings worth it for Cherry switches?

I put one on my backspace because I smash that thing.
>>55225384
I'm not sure what else than mx-style switches you're going to put them on.
I have them on my clears, and they do dampen the sound a fair bit. I don't mind the different feel, but YMMV.
They're cheap as fuck anyway, not like you have a whole lot to loose.

>>55226516
I'd rather waste 20 bucks than aimlessly buy a keyboard
>>55224591
bump!
>>55226633
This.
I was choosing between making my own with zealios and a Topre board at the time, after spending about 30 bucks in order to get my hands on both of the switches in question, I opted for the 220 bucks Topre board.
Nothing wrong with making a minor investment in order to make a good decision on a larger investment.
>>55224504
I like what you got
>>55225353
Can't really get them here, $40 is the most I'd be willing to spend but if I wanted to import those I'd be paying at least 50% more(which still would be cheaper than buying locally).

Getting my first mechanical keyboard. Never used one. Should I expect orgasm?

Your gonna orgasm more than your mom last night
>>55227494
Thanks for doing this!
Finding some detailed info or even clear photos of cheap keyboards isn't always easy, but you went above in beyond for that keyboard. Made my choice easier.
>>55227354
why not? I own them and I love them to bits
>>55227621
Partly because a lot of the sets have that 'nano anti-biosis' meme, but mostly because they are so thin. For the same price, or lower in many cases, you could get really nice gateron thick pbt.
>>55226579
yeah not having half the keys. weird
Every time I restart my computer or wake it up from sleep mode, the LEDs in my keyboard (varmilo va87mr) reset themselves to the fullest brightness. I can deal with turning them back down all the time, but i was wondering if this was a common problem or if anyone has a solution that isn't busting it open and removing them completely.
>>55227702
yes, that set has the weird antibacterial coating. it didn't bother me but I removed it anyway just because I was bored one day. it's really easy. just dip each key in some rubbing alcohol and wipe the gunk off with a rag.
it is true what you say about how thin they are. I got them anyway because I really really like the colors and I couldn't find anything else quite like them at the time.
>>55227564
depends on what keyboards you've used. I remember when we got new HP workstations in the lab at uni, I sat down to login and immediately noticed the feel of the new keyboards. It felt like I'd expect my old noname rubberdome would feel after pouring coffee on it. With lots of sugar. And cream. When I pointed the new keyboards out to my classmate, she said "oh, yeah, these new keyboards are really nice!"
>>55227751
This doesn't happen with mine
>>55227451
Where the hell is the insert key?
>>55227914
In the trash where it belongs.
probably in another layer though idk
>>55227538
It's all up to personal preference, as all of the gateron switches are good. Personally, I don't like gateron clears or browns.

Colours are nice. I'll take a shit photo once I have them on my Compact SQ.

There really isn't anything for you. The only chinkboards that are that inexpensive are ANSI.
Look for used in your area. Old mechanical keyboards are still really nice.
>>55230559
Well, I'm not married to ISO, it's just all I've ever used and don't need the yuro keys. Are you saying that used Cherry switch keyboards are still good?
>>55230792
You should not prioritize cherry switches. If you find an old Alps switch board, get that, and if you want a cheap chinese board look for gaterons.

RK RG987 or magicforce 68?
Magicforce's layout is a bit odd and RK RG987 seem to have stiffer cherry mc clones....
Other options at this price range(+-60€) that's has a kind of 70% layout at least arrow&function keys and compatible Miami keycaps? Backlit is appreciated but not a must.
I'm in Europe (Germany) but iso isn't a must.

So there is no point in buying anything between cheap rubber domes and actual mechanical keyboards? Okay then.
Kinda surprised given how big the variety in mice is, there's something decent for every budget.
>>55235547
to be fair, it's the same thing with mice really - either it has a perfect sensor or it doesn't.
the closest you can get to an inbetween for keyboards are cheap chink boards with cherry clones that cost the same as expensive rubber domes.
>>55227451
damn this looks great
totally buying this. my v60 is good but a fully programmable 65% is amazing
>>55226832
importing keyboards is actually really easy. How many normalfags do you know who are aware that $200 keyboards exist? How many of them work at customs?
>>55226328
Dude wtf. I got one in the mail today too and that's the exact order I thought up. Are you me???
i was going to get a ducky one on amazon UK,
but now there's this brexit thing and i have no idea what to do.
I'm an europoor and i want to spend as little as possible, what should i do?
As of now a ducky one would cost about 115£, or 144€
>>55234590
stop being so cute
>>55235602
>to be fair, it's the same thing with mice really - either it has a perfect sensor or it doesn't.
Not really, there's a lot to chose from between cheap office mice and stuff with like S3988/ PMW3310/ PMW3366 "perfect" sensors. Just a bit annoying because you really have to look for reviews to see whether the implementation is any good.
Anyway, I think I'll try a hybrid keyboard(it's a gimmick but they're not really more expensive than plain rubberdome) for now until I'm done saving for a new PC and can afford to put some money towards a mechanical one.

There are literally 40$ mechanical keyboards with Gateron switches on AliExpress right now. And there's plenty in the 40-100$ range.
Stop this "200$ Topre or rubber dome" meme, there's an abundance of choice at all price points.
>>55235788
>200$ Topre or rubber dome
that's the same thing tho
>>55235788
Like what? I looked around and apparently I wil get fucked a lot less than I expected by buying from aliexpress in my country, so that's an option now.
Is there like a go-to bottom of the barrel cheap chinese mechanical keyboard I should look for?
>>55235840
Literally search Ali for "mechanical keyboard" and sort by the number of orders. Avoid "mechanical feel" since those are rubber dome.
Here are some of the popular ones:
The one with confirmed Gateron Black/Blue switches for 40$ for tenkeyless and 50$ for full: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/l/32653111593.html
There's Ajaaz for 45$, don't know about the switches.

>>55236580
>return it for a refund
?
>>55236580
I kept mine around for collections sake. The postage for returning it and the hassle of filing a return and going to the post office is hardly worth the 20 bucks it cost me when I can just as well keep it.

got something for you /mkg/, because I dont know shit about mechanical keyboards
so I've been cleanning old fucking storage room at my workplace, not used for probably around 20-30 years, and i found this old dirty thing.
what can you tell me about it?
is it worth anything?
never used mechanical keyboard in my life, but those switches are clicky and feel like I imagine cherry blues feel
also what is this port and are adapters for it currently avaliabe
>>55237698
Does it say alps on the top of the switch?
Looks like you found yourself some blue alps (or a clone thereof). They're quite highly regarded, clean that thing up and use it yourself, or sell it for profit. You lucky piece of shit.
>>55237698
That's SKCM Blue ALPS, genuine according to the wiki:
>https://deskthority.net/wiki/NTC_KB-6151
That is DIN, 5 pin and larger as opposed to PS2(mini-din 6 pin), you have adapters everywhere from amazon to ebay
That keyboard here in Europe would probably sell for 50€+ easy

where the hell did you work that they supplied you with mechanical keyboards?

anything like the blackwidow for around 100$? mine recently broke but dont feel like getting memed on the price again
Why are MX Browns so shit?
>>55238091
It's not their fault they were colored this way.
Been using Cherry MX Blacks, they're a lot lighter than I expected. Often I don't notice the resistance at all.
Still, I want to get redpilled on MX Reds as part of switching to a PS/2 keyboard, as MX Blacks are often hated (I have no frame of reference to other Cherry switches to understand), but the only way of doing so for me is to order the board and wait till it arrives. I'd test the hell out of it if I could find anything, but I live in a godforsaken place on the fringe of civilization.
What's the popular consensus on Reds vs Blacks? Anybody switched?
>>55236552
I'm not >>55234731, but I definitely think they are too thin, and if your board has a backlight they will look pretty ugly.
>>55236873
That's the only problem with gateron. The equivalent for cherry clears were claimed by zealpc, and they cost $1 each. They feel incredible, but they aren't worth the money.
>>55238058
Dude, you could get wayyy higher quality than the blackwidow for $100.
>>55238309
Cherry reds and blacks are just really scratchy, and one is heavier than the other.
>>55238457
personally i think they suck
the sliders fit loose in the housing because somebody fucked up the measurements
zealshills claim it's a feature that reduces friction or some bullshit, even though every other gateron switch slider fits tight and zeal himself admits it's a problem.
>>55238527
Huh, I didn't notice that when I tried my friend's zealios.
>>55238527
>>55238582
it drives me nuts and i can't help it
i removed all the zeal switches i had
unfortunately gateron tactile clears are identical
>>55238627
that's objectively wrong
i played with the sliders in different housings
>>55234590
this looks comfy as fuck but do people ever walk past like:
>what is this faggot doing
>>55238519
It's not much then, huh? Cheers, I'll get reds. It's important to me that the switch is linear.
>>55238850
Get gateron yellows
>>55238643
>>55238960
as if i want to spend $1 per switch again
anyway there's a .007'' difference between the sliders
the housings are identical as far as i can tell
>>55234860
KBT pure
>>55235769
no
>>55238796
nope because i only do this retarded shit when im bored at 4am and i cant sleep
>>55232470
>RK RG987 or magicforce 68?
Bump
So I read up on the Sticky and this was something I saw off of AliExpress, any thoughts?

Shit that was a long address
>>55239346
>>55239379
Pro fucking tip straight from the >>>/g/csg :
AliExpress links have arbitrary shit between "/item/" and "/NUMBERS.html"
For that link you can do:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gay-Retard/32620275963.html
or just put any one character there to be a good poster on this website.

I need to get some new caps eventually after the build.
>>55239512
The time has come.
Anon, pls respond: >>55224591
>>55224591
I love it and I love the layers I can make. Was weird at first with blank caps. Would recommend if you dont mind learning a new layout and making it work for you. Basically the linux of keyboards. Can set it up for your taste.
>>55239346
No standardized keys you can't swap them.
>>55239585
Thanks! Seems tempting, I'll consider it.
>>55239638
awesome its a fun keyboard and its even easy to build for cheap.
>>55239706
Oh, I almost forgot: there aren't any measurements of it on their website, can you please measure it? Just the outside, without keycaps.
>>55239757
same as the poker at around a 11 inches. Its based in a 60 percent case from the original terminus.
>>55239183
mf it is broad daylight in that video you aren't fooling anyone with this 4am hullabaloo
>>55240029
its the summer here, it gets light really fucking early
>broad daylight
hardly.
if you go into the forest its literally 0 visibility.
What would be the best keyboard for a programmer ?
Requirements :
- Standard 101-key layout;
- Not faggot (no backlight and colors);
- Standard keycaps (again, no faggot colored keycaps);
- Cherry Mx switches (red / brown prefered);
- Not ridiculously expensive like the Razer ones;
So ?
What's your budget senpai?
>>55240077
filco
What are you waiting to drop /g/?
Waiting for these https://www.massdrop.com/buy/blank-pbt-keycaps?mode=guest_open
I also really wish someone would do a high profile aluminum case group buy
Anne pro with gateron red switches came in today.
I have tried:
Beamspring
Buckling Spring
Cherry MY
Gateron Red
Cherry Red
Cherry Blue
Cherry Black
Cherry Brown
Cherry Clear
Guess which one i like the most?
CHERRY FUCKING BROWNS
STOP MEMEING
ITS THE BEST SWITCH
What's the cheapest way get a "case" for a custom keyboard?
I'm trying to figure out what will hold the switches together.
PCB printing of that size isn't cheap at all, so just PCB mounting the switches is out of the question.
Custom cut acrylic isn't much cheaper either, but you can get 2 plates of 60% keyboard size for 25$.
Are there any cheap ghetto ways of doing this myself? Something better than cardboard, though.
I did it, I fucking did it, I can't believe it.
I'm sorry /g/
>>55238850
gateron yellows for sure
>>55240797
Just cancel it. You know you'll regret it.
>>55240836
I-i can r-return it later...
orite m8s
>>55239512
cute rat
>>55240868
o shit how is it?
>>55240890
The only thing that lets it down is the layout, it's one of my favourite keyboards otherwise (including the one in front)
What do you all even do with these keyboards that warrants the obsession?
>>55240923
I fondle them
>>55240869
Thanks senpai.
Incredibly close to buying a HHKB, I love my blues, currently using a pok3r and have never used topre. Should I go for it?
>>55240858
>>55240836
>>55240797
what do you like about it?
>>55241105
T-the macro keys are nice, and the RGB lighting might be cool... and well.. it's not that expensive compared to other mechs...
hi /mkg/, I bought a wasd code tenkeyless the other day and was wondering if there's any keyboard cases that I can buy to have that floating key look.
>>55240923
type mostly
>>55241155
nothing wrong with it if you like it, just consider two things:
maybe you will wish for more simplicity later
as far as i can tell the bottom row is non-standard so you won't be able to put any custom keycaps on that board.
unless you really like the aessthetitcs, i would go for another fullsize board, there's good stuff out there in that price range
>>55240771
You'll either need a PCB, or preferably a metal plate to hold the switches.
Casings can be made from all kinds of materials. Wood and plastic aren't expensive at all.
See if you can get some wood or acrylic or metal laser cut somewhere. The guy who helped me the minimized AEK II got the metal plates cut for 22 bucks a pop.
You could try to drill holes yourself with a round drill that just about fits the corners of the switches. Not exactly optimal and having them all aligned properly would be a horrible autismfest, but that's the best I can think of if you don't want to pay someone to do some proper cutting for you.
>>55240923
Nothing noteworthy whatsoever
>>55241063
Yes.
>>55240463
They're the least tactile of all cherry switches. They feel nice if you just press the switch a bit, but once you start typing at a pace they literally just feel like reds with some dirt stuck in the middle, that dirt being the "tactile" bump.
They suck.
>>55241155
>140$
>not that expensive
your did bad and you know it
>>55241187
I hope that's what people do with keyboards but I mean what are you that needs or wants it, a typist, a programmer, what?
