Old thread: >>53504771
Has anybody here tried mixing OEM and Cherry profile keycaps? I'm thinking of getting some blank Cherry profile, and use my current OEM profile for the modifiers - but I don't know if the height difference would fuck it up for me.

Why is /mkg/ so dead and shitty compared to other mechanical keyboard communities?
>>53538751
We still have general thread every 2-3 days.
I'd say that is quite alive.

>>53538850
a third of the mk community is all about ricer shit, so that sounds perfectly ordinary to me
>>53537851
Sorry I meant g80. With this, you only need to customize spacebar and capslock.
Are cherry blues the ultimate memester keyboard?
Can anyone explain how they are better than any other switch without bringing up >muh clack which itself is a sign of mental degeneracy

>>53538942
>implying any switch is better than any other switch

>>53538942
>>53538965
In fact they are just light switches with a decent tactile and hearable feedback. If this is what you want, they are great. Works for me, i love them.
Here we go again.
The only way i can purchase keycaps for now is aliexpress.com
Can someone recommend me sellers/products from there?
>>53539918
Why?
>>53539948
i'm from RF
>>53539972

>>53540068
Oh.
So, what exactly makes aliexpress the only option? Why cant you buy from places like assdrop, geekkeys or mechanicalkeyboards.co.id? All of them have international shipping.

>>53540131
its expensive as fuck since $ costs now more than twice compared to few years ago.
how do I fix my squeaky keys
>>53540238
I know that feel, bro.
Anyway, from aliexpress I usually buy from 3 sellers:
http://aliexpress.com/store/914660
http://aliexpress.com/store/818123
http://aliexpress.com/store/429151
Not many keysets avalible tho, at least not high quality ones. If you can find any good ones on taobao though, im pretty sure the last 2 sellers will act as taobao proxies.
>>53538616
I'd go for it, but it depends on what you use it for
I personally would love to have my letters higher than the rest of the keyboard so that I can type without having to fumble around. Also, it might look really nice. If you only leave modifiers up/down, that might fuck it up.
My idea:
>get rid of legends on all the letters
>numbers above it, too
>have the rest labelled
If you get the keys lower, might give it that nice, lived-in look that makes it seem as if you did so much typing the keys actually went lower.
>>53538379
Is it possible to remove the legends on Cherry keys alltogether? I bought a keyboard that has some weird shit symbols on it and I'm too tight to buy a full keycap set.

>>53538616
I'm currently typing on DSA alphanums with Cherry profile modifiers. For the most part it works fine. The only slight problem I have is that the backspace key suddenly becomes tall as fuck.
>>53540679
Ye, use some acetone.
It wont work if the legend is dyesubed or doubleshot tho.
>>53540713
>mixing printed and blanks
Man, why would you have legends on keys you know by heart? It only forced me to put "CUNT" where CVBN used to be.
>>53540745
I actually thought you were going to say
Ye need to use acetone.
Thine board shall speak only as spoken in ye olden days.
I shall try acetone, my good sir, although it may seem as if the legend be etch'd in the key. If that be the case, I shall still happily take the legend off and have etched invisible keys. Thank you for thine assisstance, noble sire!
Has any of you had any experiences with the following shipping services from AliExpress? Am I safe in just getting the free shipping, and if not, what should I choose? I live in Denmark for reference.

My MX Board 3.0 shipped today. Ask me anything
>>53541600
Fuck that's expensive. I think I'd buy a small form membrane keyboard for this stuff.
Just got this is it any good?
>>53541653
There's another version of it which just uses fujitsu rubber domes and a membrane that's around 50 bucks.
HHKB lite iirc.
>>53541660
If you got it a reduced price, yes, otherwise not that much.
>>53541653
paying for the memes, brotaku
i payed another $78 to get regular HHKB caps
so the keys will match the US layout
Who comfy here?
who the fuck takes a pic of themselves laying on the grass with a keyboard on them
>>53541664
Oh yes, I see it. Ebay. 52 bucks. Not half bad, but are there any companies that make really good small form factor boards? I looked at the Cherry G84-4100 and it looks quite nice, although ML switches.
>>53541660

>>53541708
There's a bunch of keyboards with layouts like that. Look for the noppoo choc mini, it even comes with PBT caps.
>>53541752
55 bucks is fine, what switches?
I don't know, type on it or something. You're certainly not going to be replacing your keycaps with that bottom row.
>>53541735
Kek why?

>>53541660
>Dem legends
Are you fucking kidding me? Are those the stock keycaps? For that price? Corsair got cocky.
>>53541767
Why? You mean i cant or i shouldnt? The dude told me it was fully customizable fuck i dont want to get played
I have some leftover vortex pbt keycaps from a set I bought (numpad keys) - would I be able to sandpaper down the top to get rid of the legends? They're laser etched.
>>53541843
>fully customizable
Well, I'm not sure what "fully customizable" means to you or to the guy who sold it to you, but you'll have some serious trouble finding aftermarket keycaps due to your bottom row being non-standard (see the tiny windows key and the slightly oversized mods and spacebar).
Other than that you can customize it as much as just about any other mech, if you're comfortable with soldering.
>>53541855
it'd certainly be possible, but you'd probably also end up scratching the rest of the cap.
>>53541899
Oh thanks i kinda expected you to tell me that but the keyboard is kinda standard where i live and i believe there are some keycaps in the national online market but honestly thanks for the help
mfw still kind of want a shine 5.
>>53541959
I think you're not understanding what I'm trying to tell you.
Your keyboard has a non-standard bottom row.
Most sets of aftermarket keycap sets do not accommodate for this kind of bottom row.
Aftermarket keycaps will fit most of your keyboard, but not the bottom row.
This will look ugly as shit.
See pic related.
>>53542030
Oh ok thanks
>>53542013
>tfw have shine 5

why though? do you have the jp layout memorized or something? like i'd like to get one since i know the language but there's no way at this point i could go with blanks e.g.
>>53542068
how are you liking it then? giving you any issues like the lighting errors or space bar problmes i have been reading about?
also, do you know if the media controls (fn layer?) can be reprogrammed to different keys?
thx
>>53541660
>bought corsair strafe silent reds
>really like it
>realize the other day all the keys are flipped
>numbers above symbols on num row
>every key with more than one function displayed is flipped
I realized later it's so the main part of the key is lit when using the LEDs but it's still retarded. I dig the silent reds though.
>>53542092
like i said >>53541695
i ordered a set of normal HHKB keycaps to replace the odd ones
its's basically iso layout by defualt
>>53541822
I have a choc mini with gateron blues and DSA alphas, shit's tight.
Except for the Spacebar, that shit ain't tight at all, wobblin all over the place.
>>53541917
Went ahead and gave it a go. Only sanded off the legend (key is the 0 key on numpad). There's a noticeable difference in texture now, but that might be because I used 180 grain sandpaper. Might get some finer grain and go over the entire top to even it out.
Got the legend off perfectly though, and it was really easy.
>>53542237
wow, should have just left it
>>53542237
i don't even
>>53542249
>>53542266
I'm not gonna use it, what's the problem with experimenting? I just placed it on my keyboard for comparison.

how compatible are cherrys gaterons and zealios
if you want to switch around stems springs our housings?
>tfw waiting for my Rapid-i
>ordered it from a local store since I won't have to pay for customs, plus the price was competitive with Ebay prices before shipping
>It'll take almost 2 weeks more.
I can't stand this shitty "comfort curve" crap I'm using.
>>53542537
Should be perfectly compatible, zealios and gaterons are basically cherry clones. Just be warned that gaterons use a softer plastic on their casings which results in the little legs that hold the casing together not to snap back as well if bent too much when opening. Though this is a minor issue and easily fixed.
>>53542560
It's a neat keyboard at least. First order of business should be to get new keycaps when it arrives though.
should i?

>>53542610
I'm poor so I'll stick with the stock caps until they start showing signs of wear. Plus I want to familiarize myself with the layout of the media keys on the document navigation cluster.
>>53542631
Do it.
Waiting on one myself right now.
how are black switches boys? ive only ever used blues
>>53542825
Ask again in 2 weeks and I can answer.
>>53542631
I'm thinking of picking one up with black switches just so I can have a linear KB.
>>53542237
I smoothed it out some more. It takes fucking ages, but it's getting there. Taking the last bit with an eraser and baking paper, since I don't have any sandpaper this fine.
Unless looking at it from the side (like the photo), it's impossible to see that anything was done to it.
I shoulda gone deeper with the rough sandpaper though, since the 0 is slightly visible still now that I got it smoothened out.
Is it worth it? Probably not. But it's possible.
>>53542825
A bit heavier and linear. Not tactil, no click. Only feedback is, when the key reaches bottom.
In fact, blacks are really nice switches - but totally different from blue
>>53542631
i bought one. quite nice. especially with the low
price
>>53542142
Much later, but here's a pic to trigger some of you. Example of what I'm talking about.
![G610_Orion[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JO1dLyY.jpg "G610_Orion[1].jpg")
Logitech is going back to Cherry MX Switches.
Red or Brown version of the G810, white lighting instead of RGB.
G610, $120
KUL ES-87 Clear or green? I can't decide. Boggling my mind even for my mother she doesn't even know.
So I asked my Anons which one you would pick?
Guy who doesn't know anything about keyboards here.
There were some colecovisions donated to us at work the other week (work at a recycling/refurbishing place). Anyway, I tried out the keyboard, which is apparently called the Adam Keyboard, and it felt really nice. I haven't had much experience with mechanical keyboards other than some cherries, would the closest thing I could find to it be considered a topre? Pic of the same kb i found on some site.
>>53544159
why do you keep reposting that coffee cup stand?
>>53544371
Its one of the oldest series of keyboard still in production. It's a good keyboard.
Also its a mug not a "coffee cup"
>>53539014
where can I get a cup like that?
>>53544240
topre or similar (some type of slider over dome) would be a comparable feel, or you could find and adapt a vintage board
>>53544472
What makes it a good keyboard and where can I pick one up, at what price?
>>53544516
be band 9 or higher
>>53544625
what
>>53544137
jesus you asked your mom what mechanical keyboard to get? underage >>>/out/
have you tried blues or browns? really all you can do is imagine heavier, bumpier versions of those for green and clear respectively.
>>53539178
How is it and how much was it? Been looking for a tenkeyless
Is there anywhere that sells Gateron switches for as relatively cheap as TaoBao that is in english? Inb4 Massdrop.
>>53545412
How cheap are you looking?
I find this though it seems a bit pricey
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mechanical-keyboard-cherry-mx-switch-clones-use-ducky-filco-gateron-mx-clear-brown-blue-red-black/32300535858.html
>>53545412
I haven't seen them cheaper than massdrop anywhere ($0.27/switch shipped), there are some on ebay for about $0.30/switch shipped, sometimes they're about that price on amazon.
What is a good mechanical keyboard that is TKL and looks like the filco majestouch? I am on somewhat of a budget since I do not want to spend over 100 on any keyboard. Flashy lights are not required and preferred to not be included
>>53542657
I want to be your friend
>>53545599
Canadian here so shipping and the USD is gunna fuck me. I'll have to see if I can get a decent price out of a taobao agent and if so, I'll buy an assortment of 1000 or so.
Cherry Reds are objectively the best switch due to the following reasons:
1) They require the least amount of operating force relative to all the other cherry switches. Thus, less fatigue for your fingers.
2) There is no tactile actuation point. Thus, your mind does not need to overcome an unneeded physical bump when typing, allowing for faster typing.
3) They are the quietest of the cherry switches when typed on properly (hands hovering over keyboard and fingers pressing keys down lightly).
4) It feels like youre typing on a cloud of boobs.
I'm so pissed that I fell for the cherry blue switch meme, I've been using blues for years and now that I switched to reds my wpm is faster than its ever been.
>>53546173
I have a corsair K65 rgb and honestly it's fantastic. I've tried all the other cherry switches except for the random unpopular ones.

>not using gateron clears
I'm waiting on one of these to come in the mail. Only reason I bought it was to give ALPS a try.
I was thinking of buying that V80 with Matias or Fuhua switches.
Any of you folks familiar with them?
>>53546393
How much better are the clears than the reds? Worth the purchase?
>>53539014
>IBM mug
yeah kill yourself
>>53546331
I'm talking about efficiency, where as reds will be the most efficient bar none.
The only argument you can make is that you might make more typos on reds, especially if you aren't use to them.
>>53541370
well, Timmy, your mother and I don't really think you should be spending 200 dollars on a keyboard...I mean, what makes it so special that you need to pay 200 dollars? it looks pretty normal to us. Timmy, please, can you just be a normal son, for once?
>>53546578
Clears are fucking amazing. Reds are absolute trash tier though, so it's not really a fair comparison.
>>53546627
Can you explain why? I have also been seeing this lately that clears are better but I don't know why. Is it just because they have a lower operating force? Or anything else? I also heard cherry reds incur a lot of uneeded friction on the downstroke.
>>53546650
Clears are weightier, they require more actuation force so you won't accidentally click keys. They are tactile like browns but don't feel like dipping your fingertips into hog shit. Reds are a meme switch that 'gaymers' use in an attempt to improve their performance in games when in reality it makes no difference. You will only type as fast as you are able and game as well as you are capable.
>>53541703

>>53541704
newfag detected.
>>53546704
Well I've used browns, blues, and reds for long periods of time. And I absolutely know the fastest I've ever typed is on Reds.
They may not be as exciting or fun as the other switches but damn typing sure is fluid on them.
>>53546611
it was actually $240
>>53546704
just so you know, I'm pretty sure he was talking about gateron clears not cherry clears.
>>53546650
kek reds are great
try not to listen to the autists of /g/
order a switch tester and try them all to see what you prefer
>>53546731
he just described cherry clears, not gateron clears.
gateron clears are a linear switch that's lighter than cherry reds.
>>53546734
Oh my god, Timmy, where are you getting all this money?!
>>53546740
Can't vouch for gateron clears, only Cherry.

Can confirm that reds are max comfy
The thing I hated the most about rubberdomes is that they were either up or down with some tactility. Reds let me have everything in-between, with the clack.
To be fair you'll find yourself hitting 3 buttons at once on occasion and actuating a key on accident, but not once you get good at typing.

matias quiet click are imo the best mechanical switches, period. that said, I've heard good things about matias clicky switches, and I've played with a few loose Fuhua, which are okay if you're into clicky.
>>53547249

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has any experience unbinding the default ducky shine mini 2 key? Currently I am using the Caps Lock key as my main fn key and would like to rebind the default fn key using AutoHotkey, but the default fn key doesn't register in AHK because it is a modifier. Anyway to unbind the default fn key and make my caps lock key the only fn key?

>>53550411
wow that looks cool
what are you going to use it for?
>>53550417
Gonna have 2 layers (topright key to switch)
Layer 1 will have pic related layout. The undecided will be used for random autoclickers and macros as I see fit (stuff like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , ™ etc. that I already use AHK for)
Layer 2 will probably be a numpad, but in a nonretarded layout (eg 123/456/789/0 instead of the default numpad 789/456/123/0)
Keycaps are gonna be a mess of leftover caps until some day when I buy some custom ones.

If not, read the post. I don't have a numpad on my keyboard, and I had leftover keycaps. I will never use that keycap, and I only put it on to show it in comparison. I used the sandpaper on the keycap seperately you silly fucks.
>>53539178
Was für Caps sind denn das?
>>53554599
Buchstaben sind von einer cherry g81, Sondertasten sind von einer g80, Steuerung ist aus einem RGB-set

pad printed next to doubleshot legends seems kinda disgusting
>>53554544
B-but i'm german...
>>53555021
Ach ja? Sieht man gar nicht. Oder sind die im Grunde identisch? Hat auf jeden Fall gut geklappt.
>>53555076
Die g80 und g81 Tasten sind von der Form her gleich, nur die Farbe ist bei diesen beiden ein wenig unterschiedlich. Die g81 geht ins beige, die g80 ins grau. Ich hätte gerne komplett die g81 genommen, aber da sind bei den Sondertasten die Sockel außer der Mitte. Bei den g80 muss dagegen nur die Leertaste und die Feststelltaste angepasst werden.

yo
ignore the ugly wrapping on the cable, it's completely covered on the bits on my desk
>>53555614
I don't get the point of empty caps. It's not that I think it doesn't look good, in fact i think your Keyboard looks pretty nice, I just don't understand it.
>>53552176
You just need to buy the right one...
>>53552176
Thinkpad Keyboard is pretty good.
>>53554132
1-get wet sandpaper
2-sand the keycap underwater
3-????
4-PFIU-TSII.
>>53556219
Would that actually work? What difference would it make?
>>53555862
They were cheaper than printed keycaps. I wish I would have gotten black keycaps but I guess the grey doesn't look too bad.
The cost of the board + caps was cheaper than a brand new QFR.
how long is this going to last
I need tips of mech keyboards that would match with my SteelSeries Sensei Raw Frost Blue and that does not look like it was designed by a 12 y/o COD player. Can you help, /g/?
Why would I switch the CTRL and capslock key around on my amazing feeling rubberdome realforce keyboard?
>>53556450
KUL 87 with white case
White Pok3r
Get a QFR and plasti dip the case white

This is so pretty. :3

>tfw no bed setup
this shit is killing my back senpaitachi, I can't even get comfy for some anime
>>53556398
sounds valid. And I think the gey caps are the better choice. With black caps and case it would stock and/or boring.
>>53552176
This >>53556009
Especially the X300, it had a special keyboard with slightly higher travel.
>>53556584
>killing my back
Laying in bed is comfy, but it's certainly not the kind of thing you want to be doing all day if your back is of concern to you.
You should look into getting a chair with some good lumbar support. Or just even one of those lumbar support pillows.
>>53556747
You also like domes and lolis?
>>53556543
I would suggest to use a wrist rest and the stands. Then you don't need to flip space and it avoids RSI
>>53556778
Especially when they have guns.
>>53556797
we are alike
happy typing <3
>>53556792
I am still seeking a wristrest and I am using the stands. however the flipped spacebar stays
I'm pretty satisfied with the keyboard of my Thinkpad, what type of switch you'd recommend me?
>>53556881
Topre, Cherry ML
something like that I guess
>>53556841
With stands and wristwrest, the flipped space would be to unergonomical for me. But it's your Keyboard, do whatever you want.
>>53556821
Happy typing to you too, my friend.
>>53545907
Then let's be.
>>53556881
topre
>>53556921
hey did you go to japan yet?
>>53556881
A rubber dome keyboard, given that you're asking in the mechanical keyboard thread, I'd say Topre.
Or you could try out some other kind of switch, I hear that thinkpad keyboards are quite nice, but there's nothing stopping you from trying out mx or alps-style switches.
>>53556841
If u really like it and you want to use something similar, i would not suggest any mkg. Try a Cherry Stream XT.
>>53556937
Not for another few months, but damn I'm stoked as fuck already.
>>53556956
thats nice. are you going to yokohama? i want to go there because of these guys but i havent practiced my japanses in a long time and real life is starting to get to me
anyway good luck man i hope you have fun!
>>53556956
Yeah, I'll be visiting Tokyo and then going from south from there to Kyoto and Hiroshima, then all the way up to Sapporo and then back down to Tokyo. I'll be travelling for almost a month and Yokohama is on one of my "places to visit in Tokyo" list, so yes, I'll most likely go there too.
Thanks, I'm really looking forward since this will pretty much be the culmination of two and a half years studying Japanese.
>tfw just looked at Akihabara in google maps a bit and there's manga shops literally right next to each other
I feel like I'll get a heart attack from excitement before I even manage to get off the plane.
>>53556954
Was meant for
>>53556881
Switch is called Cherry SX.
>thought I had bought purple vinyl to get on my Novatouch plate
>it was see through for cars headlights
>>53557539
woah, if you put it on will it make your keyboard invisible
>>53557613
that would suck

Wat do?
>>53558259
demand a free replacement shitshipping companies
Where can I get some decent blank caps for MX? Should be doubleshot.
>>53558511
>blank caps
>doubleshot
why
>>53558511
>blank caps
>doubleshot
do you even know what that means?
>>53558529
>>53558554
obviously bait
>>53558589
>h-hurr durr look how retarded i am haha joke's on you i was only b-baiting
sure thing, anon.
>>53558511
This is proof that mechanical keyboards are just memes.
>>53558607
Wasn't me, but it's obvious...
Found an old G81-HAD in top condition in my "old crap"-box, what now?
>>53546754
Can't wait to get my first red board (and first board evurr for that matter). I do a lot of normal typing (writing books), so I think I'll be fine with the cherryred. On rubberdomes I keep seeing that I don't do typos, but I'm wondering if I'll get worse on reds because they are easier to actuate.
>>53558616
No. For gaming you may be right (imo). But if you type much and daily, they are unrivaled.
>>53558259
post about it on reddit
>>53558259
Buy cheap and you will buy twice. ancient wisdom.
>>53558259
build a custom aluminium case.
i have a question
i heard that there was a red esc key that was really rare, like $300 because it was made by cherry before they sold the molds
then i heard that elitekeyboards bought the mold and now makes the key
is that true?
