>>52232404
You could include many switches
I like topre more than those
zealios would be my to go switch
I made this because I want to know what people prefer of these
>>
>>52232328
>>52232341
They don't, i can hardly find any on my online equivalents and i need one now because i built a new pc for my office and i need a keyboard so i decided to go with the QuickFire TK since my other options
are black widows and shit, my question is, what will feel more like i am pushing a solid object and not something soft like a membrane, a brown or a red?
>>
>>52232448
Neither of those switches will feel like a membrane keyboard (though it's not a membrane but a rubber dome that you are pushing).

Get a switch tester. You will thank yourself once you drop 70 bucks on a keyboard.
>>
Mechanical keyboard is a step further just like a decent dac+amp after integrated mobo sound with cheap headphones or speakers.

Topre is muh warm vintage cables tier.

>>52232474
I always wonder why people are obsessed with a type of switch that they never used and have no intentions of using.
>>
>>52232469
I cant, it will take a full month to arrive and i need a keyboard in a few days, i just like to press on solid things, i don't care about clicks and weight, i just want to not feel like there is jello under every key, so is red or brown more solid feeling?
>>
>>52232572
They both feel perfectly solid and neither feels like a rubber dome keyboard.

I'm not a huge fan of browns or reds, but I certainly prefer browns over reds. Others will be of a different opinion and disagree with me.
>>
>>52232407
How much would this cost
>>
Should I get the fc660c or hhkb?
>>
>>52232592
Why do people in the archive say that browns feel mushy then? reds feel more mushy or less mushy?
>>
>>52232653
The leopold if you cannot live without dedicated arrow keys, otherwise the HHKB.

Alternatively, you could form your own opinion on what suits your needs. Which one do you want? Get the one that you want.
>>
>>52232669
Reds feel like nothing.They go down and hit the bottom and then come up.There is nothing to feel,its a linear switch

updated version specially for you
>>
>>52232669
The tactile bump is not very pronounced on browns, thus some people call them "mushy". This is not the same kind of mushiness that you'd expect from rubber domes. It's a piece of solid plastic that you are pressing down with your finger, it's just that the resistance of the spring varies depending on the switch.

I agree with this guy (>>52232688) on how reds feel.
>>
>>52232710
What about cream alps?

It's missing cream alps.
>>
I can get a Corsair K70 cherry red for $100, worth?
>>
>>52232725
I dont know shit about alps my bad I am too tired to retype a new one maybe on the next thread
>>
>>52232688
>>52232712
Alright, i'll try browns for now, it's not like i am getting a 200 euros keyboard, i would like to try clears someday but i can't wait for an international order now so maybe next time.

After getting around 30 anime figs including after market rarities for over $200 it's pretty hilarious to read your attempts to call someone poor because the only somewhat expensive keyboards out there are Gon's.
Everything else i(including topre and hhkb shit) s fairly cheap.

The FC660 seems like the perfect compromise since its a 60% yet has the full size arrow keys.

>>
>>52233157
I buy art books, not manga.

I'd buy manga if I lived in Japan though.
>>
>>52233145
Solid board, I've been using it almost daily for over 4 years, typing on it right now even. It's dirty as hell and missing the f16 key, and I haven't bothered to map any of the function keys, but it's stood the test of time (and test of grime) without any hiccups.

I still prefer my GH60 over it, but when it comes to this Apple keyboard, I really can't complain.
>>
>>52233219
I'd buy manga if I were rich
I could read manga all day
I cant watch anime I just dont like anime
I fucking hate reading books
I'd rather watch the movie
>>
>>52233219
What art books do you buy?

Do you have any recommendations?

I'm quite curious about those since I like the aesthetics and artwork, but I have no idea where to even start when looking for that stuff.

Other than that, you can always learn Japanese and import manga from Japan. That's what I did.
>>
>>52233086
Colors wouldn't really matter to me as I'd just like a simple flat black.

Now I'm down to a KBParadise V60 and a FC660. (Local store doesn't have the Pok3r with blue's)

V60 looks really nice with a Dolch Keycap set but its ABS and the FC660 has PBT's with the arrow keys.

I used a Poker 2 a little over a year and loved the experienced, can't recall using arrow keys that much but having them there would have been much easier, I don't see them being faster as some people claim.

Each board should have its culture.
I'm not one of those who oppose anime reaction pics outside of a, but it's ridicolous to ridicule anons for spending over a keyboard which is a tool you use everyday versus some useless piece of plastic that just stay there catching dust or receiving your hotglue.
Not to mention figures have horrible plastic creases and seams in the hair, worthy of a 5$ job not 200.

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.

the stuff in the soda that got left behind when it dried is whats likely interfering, which is why I suggested distilled water as that has most/all the normal dissolved solids found in tap/bottle water filtered out.

There's this here, looking at the rest of the stuff I'm sure it's part of the confirmation of sale thingy or whatever it's called from the vendor. Not anything that's related to the customs.

Though they make us pay customs upon delivery at the door anyway. Though I doubt that it'll be anything, it says 2100 yen right on the package.

It's legitimately fine to get *distilled* water on electronics, but I'd use a sponge or something, and be absolutely certain that: A) you don't break off any components (brush or scrub it lightly), and B) let it dry for much longer than you think it needs to. Be absolutely certain that there isn't any moisture on the board before you turn it back on.

wait until more refurbished come out and save yourself $20

I got a refurbished k70 for $80 w/ shipping and i can't even tell that it is refurbished
the only thing that was weird to me was that the red textured keys that I got weren't wasd but qead or something weird like that (why they would print a z on a forward slanted key i don't know)
it doesnt matter though because i wouldn't use the red anyway.

it was literally one of the best purchases i have ever made, a good looking metal body mechanical keyboard that was only $80, when others are paying $130 for a new one

Which ducky? how much does it cost? compared to corsair?
If you buy corsair you have to live with the thin and shitty keycaps, especially since they're nonstandard bottom row. other than that, if you can get them for cheap they're gonna be alright boards. prepare for dead LEDs with some bad luck.

I've got one of those Leopolds - They're great however there's one thing you need to keep in mind, the cherry MX switches are standard but they use a custom keycap size - so you can't replace the caps unless they're specifically made for a leopold board.

say i've bound 7 keys on the numpad (play/pause, stop, next, previous, volume up, down, mute)
what the fuck are those other keys going to be good for

Dude, make your own keyboard and quit bitching then. Most of us have media controls on a separate controller for our amps, having an extra one on the keyboard doesn't make sense. If you're too lazy to make one, buy a Das 4 Pro with the volume knob, it hangs off the side and works the way you're describing.
