how come a loud psu or gpu is a bad thing, but you love a loud keyboard? I don't get it.
>>55610736
Those noises are unwanted. They are not a product of your actions, but an unexpected side effect of a product that you assumed would not make those sounds.
Loud keyboards make it all too clear that something that you did happened. Some people like aural feedback. It's like making a turn signal; it doesn't feel complete without a *thunk*.
>>55610736
because it's the direct result of me performing an action, rather than just something passive in the background that's out of my control
it's why i might listen to music when falling asleep, but I hate the sound of my neighbors playing music when I'm sleeping. loud noises that I am fully in control of are OK

Cherry ML switches are fucking horrible tho...
>>55610040
>historically always been shit
Early Cherry MX switches were a lot nicer than they are today, before cutting corners and complacency. The plastic they used initially was more slippery and and a smoother mold so they weren't the scratchy garbage they are today.
Doesn't really matter now that the patents are expired and better clones like gatreons exist, though.

Any help is appreciated, any mechanical for less than 100 seems to be rice shit and gaudy as hell or just some suspect Chinese hardware
>>55613184
KUL ES87 and GANSS GS87 can be found for around 90-100, check Aliexpress if they're out on Amazon and medhanicalkeyboards.com
Oh, and do yourself a favor and go for clears vs browns if you want quieter switches. Blues are find if you want the click.
>>55614183
Is the GANSS GS87 fucked up or something? Is there a reason it's only $60
>>55614195
>>55614183
I'm deciding between that and the Noppoo Lolita.
Both are cheap for MKBs and I think would be good for a first keyboard to test the waters.
>>55614195
no, it's usually 90 dollars and a great quality non-backlit board.
I didn't realize it was only 60 on amazon right now, that's not going to last long at all.
>>55614212
Noppoos use kailh switches and have a giant "LOLITA" logo, so that's an easy decision when the GANSS is cheaper
>>55614228
It's a $5 difference, and the Lolita logo isn't a problem because I really don't care.
Why are Kailh switches a problem? I've read around and people have mentioned after having both there isn't really much of a noticeable difference
>>55614233
Chink switches with bad QC and no benefits over cherry.
Don't get browns. Browns suck.
>>55614253
So would blues be fine for gaming and typing, both being done very often?
Any other options competing with the GANSS?
>>55614366
blues are good for everything but they are loud as fuck even if not bottomed out because of the click
>>55614381
I don't really mind that, and if it's too bad for my roommate up at school I can always buy dampeners in the future.
I looked into the KUL and it's well upwards of 120 now. I think I'll get the GANSS and then buy a custom set of keycaps.
Thanks anon.
>>55614228
Funny, because the logo was a selling point for me.
>>55612154
i like em.
>>55614398
Dampeners won't make blues any quieter.
>>55614398
No you cannot buy dampener because as I said the blues have a click at the bump. They are always loud
>>55614403
How do you like it? Because of
>>55614416
>>55614426
the GANSS might not be an option if I'm sharing a room, I don't want to be limited to when I can use my own PC.
>>55610013
i prefer the mx reds, i think the scratchiness doesn't even feel bad plus it gets better over time.
with gaterons i have experienced a difference in weight across the switches of my board.

Is Natec Genesis RX75 any good?

seconded
>>55615358
Passable. I am using it for 4 months already.
Prints get paler with intense use. If you look for basic mechanical 100% keyboard for work it's good.
Tested it if switches work correctly with that program they recomended on plebitt and switches in mine were ok.
Getting replacement keycaps is problematic you have to get universal set that contains both iso and ansi key craps.
Will THICC Vortex PBT caps fit on a board with Costar stabilizers? Heard problems about keys clipping each other.
Also, is TaiHao worth $40 if I need to get thin PBT caps?

my one had dead LED's but not really an issue as you can turn them off. It has nice softtouch too, but try to get hands on with one before you buy.
Caveat emptor.
Just bought a Leopold FC900 with front printed PBT keys. How'd I do, /mkg/?
Just for the sake of curiosity I ordered the Varmilo TKL with mint keycaps, orange backlighting (whatever) and Gateron Reds. If I dislike it I'll just off that shit locally afterwards, who cares.

What keycaps do brands like Razer, corsair and ducky use?
I've heard that keyboards from Filco and WASD make higher quality keyboards than Corsair and Razer. Is there a reason why Corsair and Razer keyboards are more expensive than them?
>>55618295
Thin laser etched ABS in OEM profile.
Though the ducky shine 5 and other duckies of the same generation feature doubleshot ABS keycaps
>>55618350
""""gaming""""
Industrial model m full size just entered the UK :)
>>55618350
Overpriced gaymurrrrr shit. Razer even switched to chink knockoff switches and kept the price just the same
>>55618361
This means they have better quality keycaps than most keyboards de to their doubleshot?
>>55618420
Yes. They're still rather thin, they're still ABS, but they're already ahead of most stock keycaps.
Its so hard to find PBT doubleshot keycaps in the UK
>>55618616
It's a fucking niche market. Import them from somewhere or suck it up.
Though ukkeycaps.com may have some Tai Hao ones. That being said, you should look for dyesubs instead anyway if you want PBT.
What? This was a limited release a few years ago, and the keycaps are ABS. How is it up for preorder in PBT?
Anyone know where I can get custom printed set of translucent or backlit keycaps?
I can find custom printed sets but not with the keycap types I'm after.
How bad is soldering LEDs? Recently put together a board and wondering if I should LED it up (the PCB supports it).
Seems like you can't do SIP socketing after the fact (apparently you have to open the switch?) but I'm fine with in-switch LEDs.

>>55619104
>>55619121
It's an SA profile set with nice thickness. Good keycaps if you don't mind the somewhat retro look and the fact that ABS will get shiny within a few years of use. If you want to spruce it up later Signature Plastics still makes lots of keycaps in that profile.
>>55619525
How do these keycaps compare to them? https://mechkb.com/products/keycaps/tai-hao-abs-keycap-set
rate the ridiculous expensive memecaps I'lll be getting in september.
>>55619702
I generally dislike differently-coloured alt-language sub-legends, though the blue isn't too bad.
>>55619640
not even close in similarity.
>>55619640
More modern and plain looking, lower thickness but thicker than the keycaps most boards come with.
They're really good budget sets and are widely available - group buys often have them really cheap. Same manufacturer also does some double shot PBT sets.
You've linked to both an ISO and ANSI set. What layout is the keyboard?
They keycaps won't fit unless you get it right. ISO has the non rectangle enter and small left shift.
>>55619640
>>55619286
terminal model m/f
Does anyone know a place to get ISO-UK (or any ISO idk) keycaps? I've been looking everywhere and I've only found two sets that are more than half the price of the keyboard itself.
>inb4 use ANSI
I much prefer ISO
bonus if you can find keycaps for a backlit keyboard
>>55620055
European keycap sellers:
http://www.ukkeycaps.co.uk/products
http://www.mechsupply.co.uk/products
http://shop.caps-unlocked.com/products
Massdrop and other places sometimes offer ISO, but it's rare. More European shops will pop up later this year.
There are also places that offer really shitty sets, but you probably don't want those.
>backlit
Those who replace their keycaps are mostly enthusiasts. Enthusiasts want high quality, which is impossible to get from mass produced backlight compatible keycaps.
Closest thing out there is this, though they aren't great:
http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-universal-cherry-mx-translucent-clear-black-full-keycap-set-top-print.html
>>55619863
I have the Majestouch 2 UK layout, can't I just replace the ISO with ANSI and change my operating system language?
>>55620411
ANSI keycaps won't physically fit on a UK ISO keyboard no matter what you do.
Quick question, so I bought a keyboard with a RJ11 cable. The thing is I have an RJ45 to USB converter for my IBM model M. Now the question is that can I plug the RJ11 cable into the converter or will I have to purchase an RJ1 to RJ45 converter then plug that into the USB converter?
Right, my corsair shitboard just died on me, and I'm ready to move on from their crappy products.
That said, I'm poor. So, what should I go for, as a Britbong, looking for Red or White switches?
I don't want programmable keys, I want a full board including numpad. I spend a couple of hours a day playing games, and the rest of the time programming.
Cherry MX Board
>>55621468
if you really want a cheap board go to surplus stores and buy a cheap cherry keyboard. Im in the united states so im not to familiar with what chains you have. But this would be about 35 British dollary doos
>>55621768
>>55621468
Also just want to add there is no guarantee they will have the keyboard you want, but if you want really cheap keyboards go look for POS ones such as any of the g80 boards

>>55622998
Are you high or something?
>>55623987
It used to be Filco were the go-to for decent Cherry boards, but the market has expanded. There is more competition, yet Filcos retain a higher price; not to say no one should buy them anymore (unlike, say, Das).
>>55624077
Well the problem is that these smaller brands that are expanding pretty much never have make keyboards with ISO layours, which is very unfortunate.
>>55624127
just use ansi nigga its far superior
>>55624167
>ANSI is far superior
Other than the fact that there is WAY more ANSI shit, what could possibly be the advantages.
>>55624167
it really is
iso is just embarrassing desu. especially if you aint some foreign language and don't even need extra keys.
>>55624219
im swedish and i still use ansi
whenever i need to type åöä i just shift+alt
english layout is so much better
>>55624194
Enter key is objectively easier to strike from home row. Left shift is subjectively easier to hit. It's more AESTHETIC due to better symmetry.

Fairly new to mkg. Enjoying a night in with my brand new kbp with Gateron Blacks. Cozy af.
Also enjoying some Jack the Sipper. Post cozy evening drinks.
>>55625393
v60s are good boards
i briefly had a board with gateron yellows (which are essentially the same as gateron blacks). really adored the look (see picture) but the switches always bordered on just perfect and too heavy, and I couldn't deal. still regret selling it.
>>55625438
I'm really enjoying it so far. A friend recommended I get some thick PBTs to put on it so I'm planning to do that.
How would I quiet a Novatouch upstroke? I have a feeling they would be better for long periods of typing than MX clears, but that upstroke sound is a killer.
>>55622998
Not sure what you're saying here. I bought a majestouch 2 because it was the only keyboard which met my criteria:
- Excellent build quality (I kill about one membrane keyboard per year).
- No backlit keys, multimedia buttons, or other silly gamer nonsense.
- Fullsize keyboard. No silly minimalist, pay-more-for-less TKL shit.
- Reasonable cost. I paid 140 CAD. It's since come down to 120. That's 90 USD, which actually places it at the inexpensive end of the spectrum.
I find it odd that "well made, regular person keyboard" is a niche market, but this was the only one I could find.

>>55626599
Even though it's not gaymer shit it's still an overpriced product with less than optimal functionality that only sells because of the aesthetic it gives. It has absolutely no place on a keyboard that's actually in use.
The only justification is that it really is expensive to make (mainly due to being a niche product) and that it looks nice for when you want to take photos to share with your internet friends.

>>55629088
I thought about your keyboard yesterday, and then I thought that it's retarded. But now that I see it again I notice that I merely had made a very basic mistake in my imagination, and that your keyboard is not retarded after all.

What do you guys prefer, ABS or PBT? Some people prefer ABS just because of the smooth texture over the rough one
>>55630256
PBT always.

it so happens to be that all of those people who prefer abs fall under that category as well
>>55630368
>>55630437
Last one, thick or regular PBT?
>>55630437
ABS was great when it was milled from solid blocks of material in doubleshot molds, it's only a problem when produced cheaply

>>55631101
aside from the top case aluminum, they all use shit quality materials and nonstandard keycap sizes.
I don't know if Amazon CA is really that bad compared to US (there's dozens of good starter boards <100 there), but if so you can buy something off Aliexpress for that price instead.

>>55631523
>>55631557
And it should be coloured in white (the whole keyboard, not only the Enter key).
>>55631557
That's called ISO. There are different kinds of big enter keys.
>>55631601
and you should find it yourself

what is an overpriced, poorly made piece of gamer designed rubbish?

And you should learn to use the buyers template or at least keep your requests in one post you dunce

I have a trebl case too its powder coated though because I don't like bare aluminum aside from the looks. I really like the texture and sturdiness of the filco case the only keyboard case that wasn't metal that's ever held a candle to this is the realforce.
planck, with cherry clears.

still waiting for mine
Massdrop shipped it with DHL, probably the slowest way possible
i think i'll use my bag of ergo clears
Hey guys,
I've been using Apple Extended Keyboards since I was a kid, 20+ years.They're fantastic. Really great clicky feeling keys, built like a tank, pretty easy to pop off the keycaps and clean the enclosure. Here's my issue:
I have an Apple Extended Keyboard (Rev 1) that has a sticky D (heh heh). This sucks for FPS, cuz all of a sudden I'm strafing right until I can un-stick it. I popped off all the caps in the vicinity, and cleaned a lot of dust and gunk out of there, and swabbed the D cap with alcohol everywhere I could. Still sticking. So I switched to my backup Apple Extended II that I picked up for a brief tenure at an office job.
Then I remembered that THIS keyboard has another charming feature, whereby random keys, and it can be any of them, will duplicate. Sso I'll gget sentences like tthis. It's not THAT often, so I'm pondering just living with it... what can I do? Is there a simple fix, or should I just eBay the lot and try again?

> i really don't care that it shines
> i really like the profile and feel of Cherry ABS
Well, you are faggot then and should kill yourself.

Texture is mold related, not material. Personally, I really like cherry profile PBT, but as almost every manufacturer makes the keys very textured (e.g. vortex, enjoypbt), they get dirty really fast. GMK and JTK ABS are pretty gud too.
>>55627737
qb the naysayers just don't know the beauty of it. Good condition OG doubleshots are like fucking without a condom. All your normal ass PBTs are like fucking with one on while crap ABS is buttplay no lube. I regret selling my 6 sets of brand new OG doubleshots even though I made $500 profit.
How's it hangin /mkg/?
>>55632974
i don't even mind them used and shined up
there isn't much texture on GMK/cherry anyway
>>55633101
Finally have the keycaps that made me impulse buy a pok3r, so that's nice.
>>55633101
waiting for my meme rainbow pbt keycaps to ship. No idea why it's stuck in the damn warehouse for 3 days now.

I have a set of used cherrys somewhere I dont think ive ever used them though. I got them in a bet on GH. Used to like new.
>>55628909

Would O-Rings benefit me if I used thick PBT?

Do you need something to drink, when you got food?
Got my new cable in. Actually disappointed I ordered it in the wrong USB type, because I wasn't expecting to end up liking it.
Oh well.
Is there a reason to use mini USB on mechanical keyboards when micro USB and USB type C are by specification more durable?
>>55635453
compatibility, I guess
mini USB is and has been more popular, so it's more common
>>55635453
usb micro is fragile unreliable garbage in my experience
What switch is this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z69Z1lR4LLM
>>55636022
i'd guess reds from the sound and the smooth depress (it doesn't look like the switches are hitting a snag)
>>55636060
they might also be lubed browns/clears
>look at used ibms
>wonder if their are any new keyboards that use buckling springs
>one company, unicomp
>oh hey they have the original moldings and stuff, how cool
>order one
>it arrives
>typing experience is top notch
>build quality fucking sucks
>plastic has all sorts of deformities
>they didn't even account for the keyboard not using certain features so there's weird indents/cutouts all over
Anyone looking at unicomp, you can find a model m/varaint in the exact same price range, just get one of those
>>55636250
>It's
How much would it be to take a full size keyboard plate mounted keyboard and convert it to 60%?

well it mostly works
feels like a rubber dome
Where can i contract double shot pbt backlit keys? the vortex ones dont work on my kb, and i have found no other option
>>55636662
WASD
>>55636698
They seem to be an exact replica of the vortex ones, including the backlighting issue
>>55635178
Whatttt, I can decipher what you said
>>55618386
wtc industrial model m in uk?
I like the design. Reminds me of late 1980s home computers.
>>55636060
>>55636087
i think its a very smooth and light linear switch. something like gateron red/clear or lubed cherry reds
Reminder.
>>55639231
Why not just get a Filco?
>>55639348
go to bed, gramps
>>55639348
I want clears and I don't want to overpay for a bygone reputation.
>>55639231
>>55639365
The Cherry G80-3000 is available with MX Clear and much cheaper
Can someone tell me what is the best quality keyboard? Not including the keycaps and switches btw
>>55639596
KUL as of late.
