>mfw VA87M aluminum case wont hit MOQ on massdrop
got one of these with green switches on the way
cant wait to try it
Fucking SJW censoring my keyboards.
Reminder bigger is better.
>>51254084
Who /chroma/ here?
>>51254084
is that really what happened? I signed up for the rising sun mods. that fucking sucks.
>>51254231
Massdrop took it down.
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/otaku-kiibodo-pbt-dsa-keycap-set/talk
>>51254231
It was Coreans not SJWs, and it was hilarious. Totally worth not getting the rising sun mods.
>tfw underwhelmed by first set of custom.keycaps
That's a Rosewill RK9000 under there. Blue Cherry MX switches. Had it since 2010. I wish I had gone with these cool mint colored keycaps I saw on.Massdrop. The ones pictured are from Royal Kludge.
>>51254319
>>51254301
well damn, I guess that means no more caps for me. sad day.
>>51254320
What, the Varmilo PBT set? You made the right call; the Varmilos are super thin and have a weird slippery coating.
I like the purple RKs more than the reds, though.
>>51254301
Wow. Wait, whoever complained about the rising sun was trolling, right? ...riiiight? Lol Rusing Sun amirite??
>>51254368
I think they even showcased them on a korean custom board lmao
>>51254410
the koreans just need to suck it up and deal with the fact they lost.
any reason not to jump on the buckle spring unicomp? 5 hours left
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/unicomp-ultra-classic?mode=guest_open
>>51254355
I had to check, but yeah - the Varmillos are the ones I was talking about. Good to know about the coating, thanks for that - this RK set feels great, I have to admit.
I opted for the reds since the RK9000 had a red plate underneath the keys, but it's not noticable, and since I don't have any backlighting, the red on the keys is a little too dark I guess. Agreed on the purple, those are sexy.
Quick noobie question for whoever's lurking - I dropped a heavy thing on the numpad section of my keyboard, and now some number keys register two characters at once. Should be as easy as replacing the switches on the problem keys, right?
>>51255313
>$13 off
if youre not sure don't feel pressured at that price.
for me, the noise is just too much
>>51254355
Not really thin.
>>51255313
I totally wanted one of those, wish I had some more money. No reason not to as far as I know, save for a comparative lack of customization options later on (compared to cherry switches) if that sort of thing matters to you
>>51255336
How's the coating though? Damn, that mint color...
>>51254355
You are confusing varmilos with tai-haos. Tai-hao PBT has that anti-biosis coating.
>>51255313
if you dont mind the long wait, go for it
>>51254355
what >>51255396
said
Tai-hao PBT has the shit coating. Varmilos is good and thick.
>>51255369
If you like it, you should wait for this. Varmilo should release this set by the end of the year.
>>51255336
>>51255541
Fuck those colors are FRESH. Reminds me of the early 90s. Do want.
>>51255335
huh, you're right. Fist of all, I didn't know they still made buckle spring boards. Looking at their site, that isn't that much of a deal though
>>51256638
>>51255335
>>51255313
It's not possible to buy that color scheme directly from unicomp. You'd have to buy a keyboard and then a keycap set on top of it.
>>51253437
>rip rising sun
Welcome to the 21st Century: The Age of Censorship.
This time it is especially bad, because the rising sun flag needing to be censored is one hell of a stretch.
>>51254301
fuck this shit, fucking faggots seriously
My home keyboard. What does /g/ think of it ?
>>51258104
get rid of the faggoty keys at the top.
>>51258104
what happened at the top row there
>>51258104
You're supposed to sell those meme keycaps for profit, not actually shit up your board with them.
>>51253437
Do you know that here in glorious Japan, nobody uses the direct Kana input? Hence your keyboard is dumber than a blank keycap keyboard. It is "using a layout different than the one printed on the keys" dumb.
>mfw you spend 50 bucks for weeb aesthetics.
Also, Rising sun flag? When would the "German National Socialist Swastika" be scheduled for?
>>51258104
timestamp needed, prove it's yours
>>51258227
Yea, it doesn't even have support for the rest of the JP layout, like the moved symbols and input change keys. It is pretty terrible.
As for the rising sun flag, it is still used in some places in Japan.
And so is the swastika (reversed) for that matter.
>tfw when you buy your first mechanical pok3r and the number five key is unresponsive ):
>have 2 more keyboard coming in the mail though
>>51258234
Why would I post a keyboard that isn't mine?
>>51258317
I just think people can't believe that you'd fuck it up so badly. I mean, that thing is just asking to be murdered. Fucking hideous piece of filth you dare to post on /mkg/, you should be ashamed.
>>51258317
this is such a piece of shit
>>51258317
I like it!
>>51258317
Cool looking artisans exist.
But those are certainly not it.
>>51258470
At least one of person likes my keyboard lol thanks
>>51258317
I like your keyboard, but the top row clashes pretty hard.
But hey, everyone has their preferences.
>>51258227
I almost posted a thing on the drop saying how nobody in Japan would use this layout, everyone just uses romaji and IME.
Also what the fuck is the point when it's not ISO and doesn't even have a zenkaku key.
>>51258317
fucking trash
>>>/trash/40797
Where the hell can I buy keycaps in Australia?
Aussie dollar is so shit right now
>>51258845
Man, let the weebs being weebs. This is the most gaijin keycaps I ever witness. No Japanese will ever non ironically use it.
Gaijin that want to be more Japanese than Japanese themselves are cancer among cancer. They seem to be of the same community on internet but IRL, no one hate more Japanese wannabe Gaijin than Gaijin themselves.
I think most of us here agree that money spent on artisans is better spent on entire keycap sets, or even other customizations like switches, cables, or leds. I personally view artisans as a gaudy customization that usually lacks class. A click clack escape key is pretty much the only artisan customization I approve of because of its subtle design.
Has anyone here ever used a Noppoo Choc Mini? I'm considering a 75% board and it appeals.
>>51258317
I think that's bretty cool, not a big deal since you're the only one using it right? Fuck those other guys anon.
just got an NMB RT8255C+
the brackets that retain part of the stabilizing mechanism on the hug fucking "enter" key are broken...
how might i go about getting replacement pieces or should i just take a week out of my life to fabricate and re-fabricate the parts necessary?

What, the skulls? Best be joking.
>>51253437
Did varmil fix the weirdo Leopold layout and use standerd space bar ?
>>51262311
Yes.
Also, they use cherry stabs now.
>>51258317
lmao I wanted to make sure you were actually using that horrible piece of shit and not just b8ing
you clearly knew what you were doing with those awful keycaps but the funniest part for me is that fucking tryhard font. Literally every single keycap on that stupid memeboard would need to be replaced before you could show that thing out in public.
I'm picturing what would happen if you tried to take that thing to work (>implying) and the looks of pure, utter disgust from every female in attendance.
>>51262311
>>51262365
Are Varmillos good? I can't decide on which chinkboard I should waste my money on and won't likely go kaput after half a year.
Please advise, /mkg/ autists
Feels great but I'm not sure if I should keep the AS and just leave QWER DF (and swap D with the matching pair of F).
I want one but I'm a cheapskate. What's the cheapest that's not total shit?
>>51262632
Varmilos without thinking twice. Keycool is ok at best, their PBT caps are very thin, lasered fonts and OEM profile. Case quality is bad, it seems to be white painted, while the case plastic itself is a vary light grey.
Magichink is a gamble, but its probably no beter than all the other chink stuff with the same case (Ajazz, EBlue, and all the aliexpress clones). Thin as hell case, no quality controll at all, crappy caps, cheap leds that will burn fast, etc.
Varmilos on the other hand have great quality control (same factory that did leopold FC700R), a very nice soldering job, and medium-thick cherry profile stock caps.
>>51262632
If you're going for the left layout, you're probably better off buying a Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless. They recently dropped to 9.5k yen at Sofmap.
No backlighting though, if that matters. I would look into Varmilos if it weren't for the fact that I've just bought 2 Poker 3s.
I just spilt a glass of water over my mech but removed the cable immediately, will it be okay?
>>51253437
Im never browsing that site again. fucking censorship pisses me off
>>51263121

What's a good mechanical keyboard for programming below 140 bucks
>>51264834
RAZER BLACKWINDOWS PRO GAYMER CHROMA.
>>51264942
The CM Storm XT? thanks anon I heard thats a good and cheap keyboard
>>51264959
Do you really need it to be fullsize?
>>51264976
Is that even a question
>>51265016
Why wouldnt it be?
Anyone try Ducky Shine 5? Intend to buy one with browns at end of the month.
>>51264834
Any specific criteria?
Also, it's advisable not to skimp on your keyboard especially if you're going to be using it a lot, since you definitely won't want it to shit the bed when you need it most.
Anyway, I'd recommend:
Fullsize - Model M
TKL - CM Storm Quickfire
60% - Pok3r
>>51265289
It looks really nice on the spec sheet, report back once you've got it.
Would've waited for the Shine 5 if it actually came with clears, typing on a Shine 4 right now.
>>51265289
I will never buy a keyboard with SMD leds. Cherry went full retarded with this shit.
Cant wait for 3 pin LED boards start appearing on the market.
>>51265289
>>51265342
Waiting for TKL Shine with different switches. Only problem is that I have no idea how long I'm going to wait.
Video related, (s)he uses Greens.
>>51265456
>TKL RGB board with meme switches
It pains me to know that this will take a long time if ever
>>51265499
Well, I have used current keyboard for soon 4 years, I can wait. Just hoping it would come out at 2016 spring or even earlier. Might as well build own keyboard but I would fuck shit up.
>>51265602
>Might as well build own keyboard but I would fuck shit up
I'm already up to doing this, but I have no idea how one would implement LEDs into a self-built keyboard.
Are there any mechanical keyboards with good build quality, a clitmouse, and three mouse buttons so I can use Acme efficiently?
This or
this? Or any other suggestions.
>>51265781

What's a good full-size keyboard with Cherry switches for around $180? Preferably with RGB or regular backlighting, but I don't care that much
>>51265456
>>51265882
everyone loves bubblegum. no one likes edge.
>>51265990
Code 104, Varmilo VA108, Leopold FC900R, iKBC G104. RGB probably Ducky Shine 5 only, but its not released yet.
Jesus, someone must update OP buying guide.
how much can i sell my white poker 2 with clears? ive had this for about a year and i think i prefer lighter switches
>>51266269
How much are you willing to sell it for?
I'd say something around 80 bucks, but I'm not reference and you probably don't want advice on what's a good price from someone who wants to buy it.
Imagine spending $150 on a mechanical keyboard because it's "more comfortable" and "allows me to type slightly faster", when you're still using a qwerty layout. Lmao
>>51266172
>spending extra money on an RGB keyboard only to cover it up with non-translucent pbt caps

you probably shit in the woods and wipe your asshole with your hand don't you

What's the difference from a V2 with MX Clear switches?
I guess it's just the LEDs and the lack of custom keys.
If WASD release an aluminium version, maybe I'd get it.
Ordering a keyboard from the US to Europe is pretty expensive with shipping, VAT, and whatnot.
>$165 keyboard
>$45 FedEx international economy shipping
It's going to be about $270 before customs are done with it.
>nope.bat
Still; is there a downside to the V2?
>>51265799
kinda neat
any decent GB's or Massdrops for ISO key sets?
>>51266439
It was designed to prevent jamming on typewriters by placing the most used letters and frequent combinations far apart, hence slowing you down and increase finger travel.
>>51266497
Only the leds and the plate color (white vs black).
Althou on their website, they state WASD PCB is single sided, which I dont think is very good in terms of long term duration. Its the same difference from a quickfire to a filco.
>>51266620
wake me up when there is
holy shit buying decent keycaps in the uk is a pain
>>51266774
>>51266620
Just learn ANSI. For fuck, half the world with way more different layouts get used to ANSI, why cant you isotards do the same? hurr muh backslash durr muh gigantic enter.
>>51266864
>>51266620
>>51266774
>>51266948
Speaking from a purely technical point of view, why don't you want to switch to a more efficient layout? ANSI is objectively more efficient in terms of important key placement. Its not even that much of a difference to ISO, most people can pick it up in less than a day.
>>51266636
Part right, but still wrong. It was designed to prevent jamming by placing common letter combinations apart from each other, but the intention was not to "slow down" the typist. If this were true, why, or how, could the fastest typists in the world use qwerty?
> There is also evidence that, aside from the issue of jamming, placing often-used keys farther apart increases typing speed
>>51267526
I did not say it was designed for the purpose of slowing you down, but that follows logically from the fact that you have much more finger travel than necessary. Also, the fastest typists in the world often use alternative layouts like dvorak or colemak. I think this woman still has the official world record:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NndiiezGkNY
I've been typing dvorak for about 3 weeks now. Used to be at ~90-100 wpm, and currently at 40 wpm. My experience is that it feels and flows a lot better than qwerty, and I fully expect to regain my speed within a couple of months. 9/10, would not go back.
>>51268394
There's not "more finger travel than necessary". Every single letter is within 1 unit of a home key. Regardless of layout, "finger travel" is exactly the same on every board. By putting common combinations apart from each other, like "th", it encourages hand alternation which increases young speed, using only one finger per hand instead of two fingers on one hand.
got it in mail today.
1990, original white alps. backslash was dead, thought it was soldering but turned out switch was defective, that thing connecting 2 plates was missing. my attempts at fixing it were kinda meh, managed to get them to connect when pressing but only in my hand, not with keypress so just changed it with scroll locks interior, i'd rather miss scroll lock than backslash.
wanted to pull keycaps, let them soak overnight, maybe retr0bright it too, but basically ripped a switch open when pulling escape, either plastic is too weak already or keycaps got stuck, managed to glue it back as no moving part got destroyed (thanks for plate mounting, without that i wouldnt have a chance to put it back together). so i guess it'll be yellow.
i dont know what switch to get
>>51268937
There absolutely is more finger travel on qwerty. Just think about how frequently you use the letters your fingers (should) rest on.
The 8 most frequently used letters in the english language are e, t, a, o, i, n, s, h, and they add up to ~65 percent of the letters you'll ever use. On a qwerty keyboard you'll find 2 of those letters among your home keys, whereas on a dvorak layout you have 7/8. On qwerty your home keys are used 25% of the time; on dvorak it's 60%.
cheapest cherry mx clear board? like sub 90. its my first switch and i really want it idk.
im getting a cm storm quickfire rapid with blues if i cant get a board with clears thats actually good.
>>51258104
a-are those some Bionicle caps?
>>51269411
Oh, and it has all the vocals on the left side of the keyboard to encourage more hand alteration.
>>51269411

So after 3 months I finally about finished. Whatcha thing /mkg/?
Custom cables coming soon.
Still need two yellow deep space swirls(to replace artisans) and a 1.5 deep space shift and enter (not even sure the enter exists).
I kinda want a purple aluminum plate, but only place that sells it wants $110 and only sells the full case.
>>51272754
fuck you why will no one sell my deep space
>>51272908
SP sells the core and modifiers. You can make a normal standard layout board with what they have for sale. All the cool stuff is sold out though.
I scrounged that from multiple sets and second hand sales.
The planetary caps are just leftovers from the SP Grab Bag.
>>51253437
do those modern model m keyboards have n key rollover?
if no then whats the best full sized keyboard with cherry mx greens
>>51273049
No, they use a membrane underneath the buckling springs so it's 2KRO+.
>>51273073
ugh
that and the lack of a super key is the only reason why I wan't to replace my model m
>>51273091
But they have super keys
>>51253437
I just want to say I originally bought a mechanical keyboard to be an asshole. My office moved us to an open floor plan and I decided to get some payback by buying one with the loudest switches.
I regret nothing, especially when I'm navigating programs using only the keys.

>scope
yeah i but he can see a mile away with it too
>>51273501
This keyboard:
>>51272754
Is green switches.
I love the damn thing, nice firm resistance, solid click on actustion. It is the best switch type I have used since buckling springs.
>>51273764
how would you compare buckling springs to your greens?
will i ever see a keyboard like this again?
white 60% with the arrows on the bottom right?
>>51273791
To be homest I haven't had a chance to use them side by side. My buckling spring board is 7,000 miles away.
Going entirelly from memory (and possibly completely wrong), the biggest difference that comes to mind is the lack of that spring ping sound. I also think that green resistance remains somewhat strong after actuation, while the BS does not.

Reviews aren't bad. 15 review, 11 of which are 5/5, the others are 4/5. I didn't know we stocked this product, never seen it in my own free time searching for a new mechanical.
I was personally leaning towards either a Logitech G710, Corsair K70 or Das Keyboard. Any thoughts or are those brands too mainstream on this thread?
bought a rosewill rk6000.
worst mistake ever. 2 months in and my e key is buggy as fuck. rosewill return policy is bullshit too, since i ordered from amazon.
stupid of me for going cheap.
i dont even know what to do with this piece of crap.
>>51274706
I never really considered Rosewill but I tested out a few of their keyboards recently and they didn't seem bad on the surface. Tested Corsairs and they felt way better, but no Blues to test. My lady's been against me getting a mechanical due to noise and the MX Silents were too loud for her lol
>>51274298
It still sounds nice, I just miss the spring ping.
As for sales, not really. If you don't mind waiting to black friday you might get lucky, but if it was me i'd just order it now.
>>51274745
Key feel will mostly be due to the keycap material and profile, and the switch type
Also, Corsair has a history of LEDs that become faulty easily and nonstandard layouts, so finding aftermarket caps will be difficult. Some of their mechanical keyboards aren't fully mechanical as well, having rubberdomes for keys that see less use like the F row. Many on /mkg/ won't recommend Corsair.
If you want silent switches, you'd want a heavy non-clicky switch with O rings and sound dampener brackets if you're willing to fork out extra for these mods

Don't worry, other brands are just as shit.

I have a code keyboard with clears, it's beautiful, I love it.

Good to know I'll keep that in mind. From there I would consider the Logitech G710 or a Das Keyboard 4. I was also thinking about the Das Model S but with Black Friday en route I'm being patient about my options.
How repairable are IBM keyboards?
I'm looking at the keyboard in pic. It's not mechanical, it's rubber dome.. but I thought I would ask you guys since you guys would probably have the most experience with IBM keyboards..

What do you mean repairable? If it's replacing a dead or sticky key you'd need a whole new membrane layer because they're not individual soldered on switches/buckling springs against membrane
Filco Convertible TKL when?

>its not iso
Neither is the typical Japanese keyboard.

An artisan escape or windows keys is fine.
But when people replace the entire functiom row is unicorn pule artisans with no theme just foe the sake of artisans, it is disgusting.

i can get that keyboard for 50 bucks should i buy it?
>>51276829
fuck yes, the second best switch ever IMHO
Anyone ever mod a Das keyboard? I'm looking to add backlight to mine.
> autists like it dark
>>51264472
That wasn't mine and it feels like shit. I can never go back to full sized keyboards. 60% is just so easy.

Does the Das pcb have LED holes? Pretty sure it doesn't....

your layout is retarded but the main board is bretthy khool.
What keyboard / custom keycap am i watching?
I can buy an unpackaged CM NovaTouch TKL (Topre) for $100.
I didn't like Browns and want a linear switch. Should I go for it or is Topre just an overpriced meme?
just got my zealios sample kit
these things are pretty good
>>51277622
100$ for a new one thats a steal
go buy it for the love of god, its not linear though. its like rubber dome but much higher quality
>>51277833
Springs are way too light.
>>51277622
Topre is a tactile switch.
$100 is a good price if the condition is good.
Need Fullsize, MX Brown/Black, non-led, "classic" keyboard like that:

What the keycaps?
>>51278426
If you find the KUL appealing and can find it in stock, you should jump on that.
>>51277622
aww but the box is the best part and im not kidding. if i remember correct the realforce didnt even have half as nice a box.
>>51278581
Every fucking review of the NT has some comment about the box. What the fuck is wrong with everyone? I've seen the box and it's just a goddamned box.
>>51278238
>>51278581
It's in the original box. Its from a normal eshop, its just marked as "unpackaged" and sold at a reduced price, which means somebody bought it and returned it within 14 days.
>>51278426
Get a Filco.
This guy has some pretty nice keyboard videos.

I finally have a mechanical keyboard. Quickfire XT with browns. Have been running the same keyboard for the past 8 years now, it survived spilling food, drinks and mashing the keyboard in anger. Mechanical keyboards are definitely not a meme.
Chinks are saving the world.
