Looking for a DIY keyboard kit, around £100. ISO layout. any suggestions?
>mfw cherry reds
I love it, it's like being violated and given ice cream at the same time.
Are red Gaterons a good alternative to blacks if they aren't an option? I'll be mostly using them for writing/programming.
Whats the cutest (mabey cheapest) keyboard around 60% that i can just slap on some miami caps and call it a day.
>>55389576
Royal Kludge RK61 is really cheap, but has kailh switches.
KBP V60 is the next best option. It has cherry switches.
>>55389576
Whats the deal with kaihl switches?
Looking for a good RGB gaming keyboard. The corsair k70 rapid-fire and the Strafe look pretty appealing. Anything better please tell me, I'm in the market.
>>55389915
They're both shit (as is any mech from corsair). Get a Ducky Shine 5.
>>55389939
I've been hearing some really nice stuffy from the Ducky Shine, I'll look into it. Thanks!

How long did it take to be reading Nipponese comfortably? How is your hhkb progressing?
>>55389915
Why would anyone want LED back lit boards? Just learn to touch type.
>>55390686
Or don't type in the dark! Bad for your peepers
>>55389543
Linears are pretty bad for typing, get gateron blues (clicky) or cherry clears (tactile)
>>55390872
>Linears are pretty bad for typing
Care to elaborate? I'm having a hard time imagining them being bad, since I've been okay with membranes/scissors all my life.
I'd get blues like I always wanted to, but I'm afraid of them being too loud in case I have to bring my keyboard with me to a quiet public place.
And I ain't building two keyboards with different switches or buying cherry switches, both of those options are out of my budget.
>>55390872
Really? 'Cause I love linear for typing.
>>55390935
they arent bad that guy has just fallen for the marketing scam that they are gaming switches.
i far prefer even my cherry blacks over my gateron blues
anyway get yellows if black are not an option, they are like blacks but with lower bottoming out force
>>55391324
>they are like blacks but with lower bottoming out force
Oh, I for some reason thought they had higher bottom out force than blacks. I looked it up and indeed they are actually 5g lighter.
Thanks, anon, I'll definitely consider them.
>>55390556
It took me about three months of studying daily before I could even read easy manga and understand to the most part what's going on.
Being able to comfortably read it about half a year or so. More difficult shit after a year. It's been about two and a half years since I started now, but I mainly just watch raw anime and read manga now.
HHKB is coming along well, got a red control key to match the spacebar and lubed the stems. Maybe I'll pick up a realforce in Japan and swap the 55g domes with the 45 ones in the HHKB.
Or just use the realforce, I don't having arrow keys.
What does /mkg/ think of logitech's Romer-G switches? Would appreciate if someone made a point on why they're bad or not rather than a "they're shit"
>>55391474
can you not buy separate domes for them?
ive been considering getting a hhkb but i fear 45g may be too light :/
>>55391542
>can you not buy separate domes for them?
Not that I knew of, most people don't bother swapping domes since you can just buy a keyboard with heavier domes if you like.

i want it over other topre boards for the cool layout
>>55391592
post pictures faggot
>>55391609
>but hhkb only comes in 45g right?
Ye.
I don't mind light switches (got 35g clears around here), but I came from cherry clears to Topre, and even though I was used to heavy switches I had no problem getting used to Topre. Quite the opposite actually, I prefer things on the lighter side now.
Is there a store where I can buy three things at one: Gaterons, DIY sleeved cable kit, 2u Costar/Cherry stabilizer kit?
I've found two stores that sell 2 out of these 3 items with low prices, but they both have 15$ shipping, so I can't order from them both.

>>55391516
but they really are shit.....
Can someone tell me the brand of this keyboard? I love the layout.
Also, does anyone know of a keyboard base with this layout that's backlit?
>>55392823
its a tenkeyless in ansi layout
they are incredibly common
Are brown switches a safe pick for my first mechanical keyboard? My current kb is a sidewinder with scissor switches, any advice is much appreciated
>>55392993
not brows they are not going to feel like you expect
>>55393018
what should I go with then? If it helps I do gayme as well
>>55393078
Gayming never helped anybody.
>>55393078
Sounds like reds or blues could be your jam.
>>55393248
what are you fucking dumb?
>>55393078
i feel like specific gaymer switches are a meme unless you do something very specific in which case you need to decide for yourself
switches are completley subjective but i would recommend going with reds/blacks/clears or something
>>55393078
I have reds and blues, Reds are far superior in Gayms but Blues are godly compared to reds in typing. Why not just get both, get 2 cheap boards (thats what I did, an Outemu blue Magicforce and a Gayming Red Coolermaster)
I bought a ducky and a few of the keys repeat with one press, also had kne that wouldn't register at all until i mashed the hell out ofof about 100 times.
Aside from those annoyances it feels good
>>55393394
fn + 1 then fn + 5
>>55393466
Its only certain keys, i tried adjusting the repeat settings but it did nothing to those specific keys. ( they're all letter keys in a shared adjustment zone)
Has anyone used a TG3 from ebay? They're dirt cheap and I'm in the market for a small board.

If you can deal with the flat key layout and height honestly there's nothing sub $100 that can compete. They're all completely outclassed. Honestly they probably are the best sub $150 keyboard as well. Just the weight of such a small stock keyboard can tell you the whole story.

Why is it such a pain to find a TKL Gateron red keyboard? That Magicforce would be nice if it had function keys.

I also sent Pexon 3 emails. He hasn't answered any of them.
I think Pexon stole my fucking money. I'm probably gonna contact Paypal later.
>>55396954
I know the site says custom cables take 15 days in the 'workshop'
So 6/19 + 15 = 7/4
Plus shipping time from UK to US (for me at least)
Im still holding out hope I guess...
Are clear cherry any good?

Nice, I've just started to learn. Got my hiragana down and moving onto katakana on monday. Am mostly using the info from the DJT over on /a/.

>>55392993

It's a small firm, and they get shit loads of work. Your single cable is low priority, this is explained on their site. Chill out.
>>55397026
A fucking sleeved cable doesn't take 15 days to make. I know Pexon probably has a fuckton of orders. But a cable should take a couple of hours at max. My guess is that Pexon is a lazy piece of shit rolling in dough. His cables look fantastic but fuck him for being a jew.
Are Noppoo Choc Mini shit? Really tempted to buy one, but not sure about the odd layout.
>>55396954
>I also sent Pexon 3 emails. He hasn't answered any of them.
this is bad to hear, because I really need to contact him about a headphone cable I ordered not too long ago which is going to shit

different anon, but...
I can mostly touch type as long as I get my hands centered properly. So why do I like having a backlight on a keyboard? It's because it can help me find my hands on the keyboard when I sit down, and also for ambient lighting. With that being said though, I keep my ambient lighting in the family of reds, to help contrast from the blue from the monitor, and the wall color. I keep the LEDs in my peripherals and out of my PC though.
First for Pulse
I have never used a mechanical keyboard, but I bought a Filco Majestouch 2 today for about $160. Did I fuck up?
man gateron linear switches are actually a lot smoother than cherry. at least the red ones are. i thought that was a myth.

Fuck off I'm not recommending you anything except killing yourself.
>>55397062
Yeah, I manage the guide over there (or used to rather, I'm still there but most of the work is done by someone else). Glad to hear that it's of use to you.
Make sure to not let yourself get slown down too much. I took a month to learn hiragana even though it could have been done within a week. Once I started pushing myself more I noticed that I could actually go far faster. Don't be afraid to push yourself. Learning a language like Japanese is lots of fun and a great experience.
I think the first thing I read was yotsubato, though I never even finished the first volume since I got bored of it quite quickly.
I then read 砂糖菓子の弾丸は撃ちぬけない and あいうら, I can very much recommend both. There's easier things for beginners (as I found out later), as those two have either a somewhat deep plot or lots of dialogues with lots of unknown words. Just make sure to start a mining deck once you start reading.

This. Just get reliable a brand with a good warranty and you are fine.
You gain no meme power from having the "best" switch.

>>55394055
what kind of switches are in these boards, anon?
What would you recommend between KBParadise V60 or Vortex Poker 3? Shopping for a clear switch keyboard.
I think I'd rather have a standard TKL than the 60 style, but the only one I see with clears is the WASD Code 87 which costs more and has some pretty bad sounding reviews about the key caps.
Any other boards that I'm missing that have clears? Just not full size though.
>>55389212
I am looking for a keyboard.
I like this coolermaster one:
http://www.cmstore-usa.com/masterkeys-pro-l-rgb-cherry-mx-switch
It has the removable usb cord that plugs in UNDER the keyboard, and it doesn't look like gaymer shit, well apart from the rgb.
Is it really worth it to get a fucking RGB mechanical keyboard?
Are there other keyboards that are built as well as this one that I linked that are NOT rgb and thus much cheaper? I found a couple ducky keyboards with the numpad but I don't like the keycaps they come with, they're all wierd colors and shit, I just want black keys...
>>55403103
>Is it really worth it to get a fucking RGB mechanical keyboard?
of course not
>I found a couple ducky keyboards

>>55403076
KBParadise V60 because case material doesn't really matter that much. But that's just my opinion.
>WASD Code 87
Alternatively, you can get a KUL ES-87 with clears. Elitekeyboards soetimes sells them used on ebay.

>>55403221
>KBParadise V60 because case material doesn't really matter that much. But that's just my opinion.
I'm leaning towards that one. Seems like you can swap Fn and Caps which was my big concern with a 60. The color schemes are nice too, both Olivette and Dolch.
>>55403192
how much cheaper is it really though? the ducky one i was looking at was like $120 and had ugly key combos
>>55402193
>>55402369
my fingers would fall off playing games with clears. they take so much force to keep held down. they're fucking amazing for typing since they bounce back up so nicely, but they seem quite a bit harder to hold down than even blacks.

how good are ducky keycaps to the coolermaster keyboard? what is the purpose of the little dip switches on the ducky keyboards? how good is ducky warranty? is ducky case made of metal or plastic?
:3
>>55403720
>how good are ducky keycaps to the coolermaster keyboard?
i would say it's better, but that's subjective. there wouldn't be that many differences, I think.
>what is the purpose of the little dip switches on the ducky keyboards?
allows you to change the functions of some keys, like swapping ctrl and caps lock
>how good is ducky warranty?
4chan thinks ducky links are spam, for whatever fucking reason, and it's impossible to "reformat" to make it work
so, just google "ducky warranty", and those are the first two things to come up
>is ducky case made of metal or plastic?
plastic
>>55403899
so i would be getting like $50 discount for 1yr warranty vs 2 with no leds and the warranty is from foreign company instead of USA based? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I have another question.
The coolermaster tenkeyless keyboard that's like $75, is there a numberpad for sale anywhere that matches it pretty much perfectly?
>>55403939
>is there a numberpad for sale anywhere that matches it pretty much perfectly?
probably not
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1712

People who say the novatouch is an inferior to pre board are stupid. I've owned every to pre board and I have to say it's identical to the realforce. The only problem is the case. But if you lube the novatouch, it takes out that nasty upstroke.

To those who own keyboards with Matias switches, do they suffer from key chatter? Because my V80 quiet click does.

I just bought a thrift store rubber dome PS/2 keyboard from a thrift store to act as a stopgap until I can replace my thrift store mechanical that vanished into thin air when I went on a trip but although it works fine in BIOS, once W7 starts up it becomes completely unresponsive.

Thanks, yeah I got hiragana down in ~ a week. Could still improve my knowledge but will brush that up after I've got katakana down, hopefully should be able to do that in a week. Then it's onto anki and the vocab flash cards. Am a little nervous about the grammar though...
Nice, I love yotsubato, I feel little guilty for liking it but who cares!
What would takemitsu zamurai be like? Apart from the Confucius quotes it seems like it could be quite easy.

>>55394062
bumping this up
>>55408017
Sounds like something I had with my USB mouse. Other peripherals worked just fine and even the power lit up, but no response. My solution was to try it in every USB port until I got a response. I have no idea why because windows is supposed to be very good at recognizing mice and keyboards.
>>55408280
If it was USB I'd have done that already.
>>55408125
Grammar, or basic grammar at least, is the easier part of Japanese, if you've ever had the pleasure to learn a language such as French or German, you'll find yourself praising Japanese grammar to the heavens.
I don't know about takemitsu zamurai. Juding by google images it doesn't look terribly difficult, but if you're still just a beginner you may find it to be a bit challenging. I recommend not worrying about the difficulty of things that you want to read and to just try reading them. If you can read it, then do that. If it's too difficult, then just keep studying and find something easier until you feel confident to try reading it again.
>>55407270
Regular keyboards have almost no tactile feedback and can result in joint strain. With mechanical kbs you know when the actuation happens and you don't have a need to bottom out the keys.
>>55408631
>Regular keyboards have almost no tactile feedback and can result in joint strain
The fuck are you smoking anon.
There's nothing more ergonomic about having tactile feedback. The only benefit that mechanical keyboards offer in terms of ergonomics is the fact that it's quite easy for a single person to design and build a layout that they want (e.g. atreus or ergodox) that's more ergonomic that traditional keyboard layouts. There's nothing more ergonomic about having keyboards that are twice the height of what a membrane keyboard could be.
>>55408586
Nice, I have been learning Italian for a while and the grammar has been a nightmare. I think the main problem was that I was learning by ear and didn't sit down and study too much. But to hear that Japanese grammar is simpler has filled me with enthusiasm.
>>55408586
that keyboard reminds me of 1980s home microcomputers
>>55408855
Learning by ear is something you can do (and that I'd highly recommend, listening practice is important) since it'll give you an idea of how to talk far more than reading will, but I would focus on text-based learning when starting out since when learning by ear most of the things will fly right over your head, since you probably won't be able to understand half the words, and hence also have no idea what the sentences you are hearing are about. Once you start watching raw stuff you notice just how important vocab is.

Yeah, I was thinking of cutting down the edges a bit, but it reminds me of the unique aesthetic of the apple m0110 and other keyboards/microcomputers from that time.
>>55408931
My main goal is to learn how to read. Once I've made good steps on that I might work towards listening and speaking. I have some buddies who going to be in Japan semi long term so would be cool to be able to visit them to get some full immersion.
My favorite switches are Gateron reds and there's nothing you can do about it.

From what I can tell most of them use cherry blacks.

I'M USING THE MEGAPHONE KEY TO TYPE THIS

>There's nothing more ergonomic about having tactile feedback.
Than what? Membrane keyboards rarely offer any tactile feedback. This is about how your finger pushes a button. You need feedback for comfort.
>>55410216
>You need feedback for comfort.
no you don't.
>>55410216
>Membrane keyboards rarely offer any tactile feedback.
Rubber domes are absolutely tactile. Some more than others.
>You need feedback for comfort.
>Need
No, you don't.
Bought a Magicforce 68 and after about a week the 'y' key has failed. I wonder if its the switch or PCB. It has gateron reds, which I actually really like. Do they have a reputation for failing?
>>55411244
>Do they have a reputation for failing?
Not really. Though switches don't really fail like that, they usually just get keychatter.
Check the solder joints on the PCB, it's probably that.
>>55392823
Seems like the Cooling Master QuickFire Rapid-i with aftermarket keycaps.
>>55410216
>>55410283
>>55410305
One thing we can at least agree on, mx reds are something only good goy gamers would get, and is no better than rubber dome. Acctually, worse in that it has no feedback.
>>55411689
Right. Real men get Gateron linears.
>>55411689
I'm not going to defend cherry linears given how gritty they are, but that's some of the weakest bait I've seen against linears in a long time.
>>55392823
I feel ya. this is exactly my taste as well
>>55392860
thanks for info
Well, fuck
>>55411827
He's right though. I would much rather type on a membrane keyboard than any linear switch keyboard.

congratulations you played yourself

could you scan and upload the paper thingy?
Does anyone know any good DIY kits for tenkeyless with an ANSI or ISO layout?
>>55389212
Anyone here with a Poker kb? Any good?
>>55413990
That's not even my picture.
I just find about this way of aligning the springs, was too afraid to peel of the rubber layer.
Now i have to open my NT again because of that.
>>55414296

this is my pok3r
>>55408855
>>55408125
I really enjoy it.
>>55413873
Well, that's just your opinion.
can someone share some typing test/practice sites? i've already got 10fastfingers
should i get hhkb or something with cherry mx reds
>>55416659
Why are those your two options?
>>55410123
No one?
>>55416767
>>55410123
i mean, you are describing as generic as keyboards get. if you actually looked into it yourself for more than 2 minutes you'd have found something on your own
look into ducky shine/one/zero series, a wasd code, something coolermaster
>>55416840
Thanks, I think I will buy ducky one.
I bought a pok3r and I feel like a fell for a meme coming from a full size. I didn't fall for a meme did I? I miss muh media buttons n arrow keys
>>55416925
60% boards are a meme, yes. So are media buttons and arrow keys.
>>55416683
because i like them
>>55403316
This was one of my first mechs. I love it to death and would highly recommend

Reds are great though, I like mine at least.

Cherry reds feel like they have sand stuck in them

What do you use the arrow keys for? I can't remember the last time I actually used them for anything.

Navigating plain text, webpages, my web browser shortcuts, etc. They're too useful to get rid of. Same thing with the nav cluster after I learned what they did.
>>55416925
You I must differ a lot I moved to a 60% because I never used the arrows or the media keys. mpv and ncmpcpp don't need arrow or media and keys and vimperator stops firefox from needing them. What are you actually using them for?
>>55421283
Don't you mean you're unwilling to learn a different way to navigate. Which is cool, but means you probably shouldn't use a 60%
hey guys, quick question. I am currently using a keyboard with cherry mx blues and I really like it, but its sorta older and I wouldnt mind getting a new one if need be. My issue is that I recently moved in with another student at my uni and they have been complaining that my typing is too loud and that it bothers them. My question is whether I should get a new keyboard that is less clicky, or just get some sound dampeners for my keyboard rn. If I should get a new keyboard what type of switches feel similar to blues but arent as loud? and if you have experience with sound dampeners how effective are they at reducing noise?
>>55396185
Don't buy it directly from corus.
They're notoriously bad sellers.
>>55422555
Grab some o rings first, they are so cheap. If they work out, then you've saved a bunch of money. MX switches are loud. desu if o rings don't work then a different switch really won't make that much difference. This plus learning to type a little softer can't hurt.
I just want a nice and cheap keyboard
>>55423429
magicforce or redragon
>>55423444
the redragon ones are like 500 bucks in my shitty country
What do you think?
I love my new mech keyboard, cant believe I spent 10 years using some rubber shit keyboard.
I am now also thinking about switching my mouse, does anyone know some good mechanical mouses?
>>55423469
you can find both of them on aliexpress and taobao with free shipping. should still be under 50 unless your country has insane duty/custom fees
>>55423572
>memecaps
why
>>55423698
Because I'm a massive faggot.
>>55423707
Fair enough, carry on then.
>>55423572
eugh
Any recommendations for a reliable keyboard with a long life? Cherry Blue or Clear and full size preferred. Location: UK.
>>55423717
Does it annoy you that I'm 30?
>>55423812
Ducky shine from overclockers
>>55423814
hey it's your money, I just think they look out of place and tacked on at any age
>>55423864
To be honest I agree with you after buying them. I'm tempted to just have a single black one as my escape key.
>>55420976
>>55421740
I mainly use Windows cause I'm a shill so the arrow keys to rearrange everything is pretty handy. And the media keys are just handy so I don't have to take my hand off the keyboard to change music or something like that.
As for practical use, whenever I'm in putty or a VM, I use the arrow keys so I don't have to retype commands. It's nothing I can't learn, it's just different. Which is kind of the refreshing thing with 60%
newfag here...
whats the point to mechanical keyboards? ive tried both and i dont really feel a difference
>>55404052
>needing unnecessary extra buttons
>>55423604
>Mechanical mouses
What are you, the prospective lord of memes?
>>55423604
unlike keyboards, most mice kept mechanical microswitches all along.
I guess trackballs are somewhat more "mechanical" than optical sensors, but that's more of a personal preference thing.
>>55424007
Your fingers must be dead
There's no point to them, they just feel nice to use and are highly modular. If you can't feel the difference between mechanical switches and your standard slider-over-dome 5 bucks membrane keyboard then you should consider seeing a doctor
Retard here
Thinking of getting Gateron Brown keyboard.
Only tried Cherry MX Red and Blues. I liked both, would I like Gateron Brown?
Magicforce brand any good?
