Did you buy the Cherry MX version, the Kailh version or the OUTEMU version?

Fuck actually I just checked my order and I got browns. Got the Cherry MX version.

Blues have a tactile bump and they have an audible clicking sound.
Browns have a tactile bump and they do not have an audible clicking sound.

What's the best and cheapest 60% PCB I can buy in Europe?
I bought Sky Dolch off of Originative awhile back along with some of their keycap holders.
>pic related is pretty similar to my setup aside from CMYK modifiers from GMK
I really like their keycap holders except for one thing - they don't fit DSA caps correctly. You can't shut the lid, and they hold two keys in the third row properly. I suspect that this is probably because they were only meant for GMK keys.
God, I can't believe it's the current year and people somehow still buy aftermarket ABS keycaps

how differently those two feel compared to membrane? what i mean how heavy black compared to red to membrane
>>53964202
can't you take blank cap and laser print it in the nearest place that does laser printing?
>>53964208
>wanting reds
>>53964463
i actually want blacks because i'm tired of bump feeling and don't really care how heavy it is, i just want to know how much heavier or lighter than membrane
>>53961324
The fuck is that shit?
>>53964526
if you're asking for the weights in grams, it's in the picture. if you're asking for how they compare, blacks are 60g/45g = 1.3 times as heavy as reds. as for compared to your membrane, who the fuck knows, measure it if you want.
the point is, i can describe it all i want but it won't beat actually trying one. if you want to try reds your average pc shop probably has some gaymen keyboards with them.
>>53962361

>>53965813
That's actually exactly what I'm talking about. My only worry is that the spacebar will take some kind of smell to it since this stuff is perfumed for some reason.

Reminder that Massdrop has added optional ISO support to their cheap PBT blanks.
Also, imsto has apparently started to support ISO with his nice PBT dyesubs. UK, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish...

Have you ever ordered from imsto? Is it reputable or?
>>53966621
Me, I just ordered 2 from Massdrop. Though there's still time to change my mind.
Maybe you guys can help me with something. I already have switches and caps for these 2 keyboards (1 set of MX white, 1 of clears), but ordering the Plancks with switches costs only 8$ more, so why not get some, right?
The question is, which ones should I get? Are the Gateron any good?
>>53966729
Yea get some imo, it's always fun to have handy. And if you get them for only $8 that's a good price.
Gaterons are really nice imo
Does this guy have legit autism?
>>53966597
There's not much information at all. Most of the people who can identify it don't have much interest in it so it hasn't really been cataloged well if at all. Why don't you look harder online and get more background information then take pictures and catalog it? I'm sure people in the future will appreciate it.
>>53966841
ill see if i can dig a bit when im not busy, and stick what i find on the installgentoo wiki
>>53966776
whoever buys these sure as fuck does
>>53966725
imsto is kind of famous after selling a lot through group buys in the past. Just google him. It's some of the best quality keycaps you can buy new.
Just remember that when stuff is made to order over in chinkland there can be delays and you're good.
>>53965804
I'd like to hear how it sounds
>>53966932
they are literally Gateron keycaps dyesubbed by imsto. They are high quality dyesubbed, but the keycaps themself are rather mediocre. OG Cherry is way better.

Hey /mkg/,
Last time posting under this name.
Bye and dont forget that topre board are amazing and not a meme. also get a PBT spacebar for your topre board ;)

>falling for Topre meme in 2016
If only the 2015 shitposters knew it would turn out like this
>>53968133
I just now took apart and cleaned my Realforce. Feels good. The keys look and feel like they did when I bought the keyboard 2 years ago.
>>53968133
Are topre caps PBT?
I love me some PBT
>>53968133
>>53968161
How'd you guys remove the keycaps? and especially the spacebar
>>53968174
Yeah, thin PBT.
>>53968174
standard topre caps are PBT but the spacebar is ABS
>>53968161
You should try lubing the stems. I just applied thick lube to the stems under the keycaps and pressed them down a few times. The upstroke noise feels a bit dampened, but is still there with the characteristic clack. Kind of like the click of cherry blue compared to cherry white, the lubed clack is far softer.
It also feels amazing. I can't describe it that well yet since I've been typing on it only since 10 minutes or so, but it feels smooth and really soft, but still with springiness and resistance in it.
Really fucking nice.
>>53968174
Yeah, not that thick PBT, except for the spacebar. though I snatched some pre-production samples from our meme overlord when he was selling them.
>>53968191
I just used a key puller to remove the caps. The single size keys are easy.
The larger keys take a bit more care. The RF is the same as the HHKB in that there are no stabilizers for the shift, enter, backspace, etc. The keycap just sits on that black plastic support. I actually just pulled with one end on my fingers and used the blunt end of the keycap puller to pry the other end.
The spacebar is tricky, that does have stabilizers. I did a similar thing with this where I pulled on one end with my finger and used the keycap puller to pry the other end off of the stabilizer. You also have to be careful with the spacebar because the actual slider has a spring that freely sits on top, so you don't want to lose that spring.
>>53968265
what kind of puller did you use?
the topre standard one of a wirepuller
>>53968191
>>53968334
see >>53968245
Use a wire keycap puller, or at least a plastic U-shaped one instead of the metal one that comes with the realforce keyboards. Wire puller is optimal, u-shaped one is a pain but at least it won't scratch your caps as long as it's plastic.
Wire keycap pullers are available for quite cheap, so I'd suggest just getting one of those.
>>53968445
>it won't scratch your caps as long as it's plastic
It still can, it's just less likely.
>>53968445
Damn I forgot about that bizarre keycap puller that came with my RF. I chucked that thing in my miscellaneous bin. But yeah I used a wire puller.
>Tfw people justify filcos when you can get the QFR made by the same people for a lot less.

Also the Yen just skyrocketed. So grab the 200 dollar ones on Amazon before they're gone. They're already 260+ on eBay.
Alright, so Anon was kind enough to help me out in the last thread with my Noppoo Choc Mini whose right shift didn't work. After already replacing the switch and it still not working, he advised me to test the PCB and tracks with a multimeter.
Today, I tested it, and the tracks seem to be just fine, and the right shift exhibits the same behavior as the left shift while testing with a multimeter. Yet, when I press right shift it still won't work. I'm at my wits end.
>>53962361

>>53969876
Yes, you will.
>>53968530
>Remember to stay away from the QFR-I
Why
>>53969923
Because the QFR is better.
>>53970257
Why?
>>53970266
Better OEM, cheaper.
>>53970277
To my knowledge, both are made by Costar and the board layout is similar to Duckys
>>53970313
No, the Rapid-i is not made by Costar. That's the QFR and XT.
>>53968530
Filcos have double sided PCBs. Also, Their stock cases are much sturdier and thicker.
So I got a G.Skill Ripjaws (Yeah I know. Don't laugh. I got a gaymen meme). My God it's a fucking dust display. Where they have the keys raised the light spills down onto the black metal highlighting all the detritous in pretty colors. I have to clean it daily with a brush because it looks so shitty. I am also having a long haul getting used ot mechanical keys and it's hella noisier than my old G15 V2.
What do you think? Yea it is a cm but looks good and comes with blue or brown switches

>>53971368

>>53971751

I ruined the mini USB port on mine. The cable keep slipping out of those tracks, and that puts stress on the port.

You can always use the shitter method for soldering lots of small contacts. Just cover all of them with solder, then remove the excess.

Ajazz has ugly stretched keys, so good luck getting replacements.
>>53974268
>spending a ludicrous amount of money on an overrated keyboard
That's a very silly decision to make. I don't think you're looking for people to talk you out of it as much as you want people to give you any tiny reason TO buy it. IF you have 1000 to just blow then that's your call, but I would at least think it through and make sure it's gonna be a sound financial decision.
>>53974268
They are a decent investment, I doubt they'll be coming down in price anytime soon.
As someone that's sold a couple, I decided to keep regular SSKs and full-sized industrial Ms instead. You can find them for 200/500ish in great shape.

I have heard there is a noticeable latency between the two halves on the original ErgoDox. Is this true? If you game, have you ever noticed it?
Currently deciding between the OG and Infinity ErgoDox.
>>53975794
It's there, but not awful. My main issue with it now is the people the money goes to. They practically sold out as Massdrop shills, and act like pretentious twats all the time advertising their wanker club.
Perfect example of people who care more about the money than the hobby. Stick with the OG.
>>53975794
Ive never noticed any latency, though i haven't gamed on it at all. I use it to write code all day at work though and haven't had a single hiccup. My soldering skills are absolute shit as well.
All that being said, go for the infinity, it's better in every possible way from what i can tell and im probably getting one myself.

They come pre-soldered on, and removing them would look even more silly since the only case available for the Infinity PCB has cut outs for the screens.
Maybe in the future when people start releasing custom cases for it I'll consider doing it.
Is a WASD keyboard CODE a good starter board?
>>53978398
Why not?
What do you guys think of this one?

What does /mkg/ think of Logitech's Romer-G switches?
I just picked up a G810; needed a new KB stat and it was the most compact mechanical with brown-ish switches I could get, and I actually like it a lot. They make quite a bit of spring noise, but the feel is actually really nice, with an interesting friction-y feel that my old Browns didn't have.
The KB itself is pretty nice too, and I'm really happy to see a gaming company make a keyboard that actually looks appropriate on an adult's desk. (Once the rainbow bullshit is turned off, of course.) I really like how compact it is compared to other "gaming" full-size KBs as well, especially since a board without a num pad isn't an option for me.

Overpriced. Mediocre case, caps, and switches.
>>53978446
At least the jizz one was waterproof, this is just pure shite
>>53978678
i'm looking for a slim one for my desk. Less than 90 keys. Any suggestions? Mostly for typing.
>>53978734
Slimmer generally = shittier feel
If you absolutely must subscribe to the mac-tier mindset, get something like the Cherry G84-4100 Ultraslim
I rec getting a normal 60% like the Qisan (budget) or pok3r (moderate) instead.
should i buy a hhkb or a pok3r with reds
Wait, why does /mkg/ not like backlit keyboards?
My PokerII isn't backlit, but I wish it was honestly.
>>53978889
>Cherry G84-4100 Ultraslim
I guess slim was the wrong choice of words. I simply mean shorter. It doesn't have to be thin.
trying to find a wireless 60% mkg. Any realistic options? I only see chinkshit on Amazon and Newegg

filco manila air
>>53979218
cause unless it's really subtle, it looks cheesy as fuk and gaymer-y
>>53979425
seconded, aside from customs it's one of the best
>>53979602
>it looks cheesy
It's white light. You know, to see in the dark.
>>53980382
>he has to see his keys to press them
>>53980382
You mean like a lightbulb? Gotta make sure it's bright enough so I can hunt and peck shitposts

>Filco minila air
I just ordered one of these with mx browns, how fucked am I?
>>53981169
>browns
disgusting
>his keyboard isn't a transformer
my keyboard is lying in bed right next to me
>>53974082
Thinking of getting an fc500r (blues) for home and a fc660m (browns/reds) for mobility.
Because I need the following:
>Removable cable
>Standard bottom row
>No LEDs
>No bullshit - clean design
>60% with dedicated arrows
The Gooks seem to have perfected it with the Leopold's, no? Only problem is I'm an Ausfag, so it costs out the asshole to get any boards. Sometimes find Australian suppliers with a few boards I want, but they're inevitably sold out or only in mx red for gaymers.
got this one, wondered why no one has posted it yet. no OC cuz at work rn.
>>53977582
Build a dactyl.
You can hand wire it and use pro-micro controllers in each half. They can be linked together or run seperately.
As for ergodox latency? Honestly it is non-existant. You even get nkro if you use tmk-keyboard firmware. I used it to type my thesis and game everyday, but have had no issues. The infinity is really nothing more than an ergodox with a bunch of gimmivks slapped on.

Most of the people here who hate backlit keyboards are really just insecure about living with their parents well into their late 20s and believe that if they buy conservative keyboards it will compensate for their perceived lack of maturity.
Since backlit keyboards are usually associated with gaming and gaming is traditionally associated with children, they ridicule others for exhibiting behavior society typically considers immature because, having lived with their parents well into their late twenties, seeing others exhibit such behaviors reminds them of their own failure to move out of their parents house and become self sufficient in a timely manner.
Basically, they buy non-backlit keyboards to compensate for a deep seated sense of inadequacy the same way people buy fedoras believing it will make them appear sophisticated.
>>53982258
But gaming IS immature. Grow the fuck up and move out of your mom's basement already.
>>53982293
>But gaming IS immature.
No it isn't.
>>53982258
Could not have put this any better myself.
>>53982293
Is it? Do explain
>>53979218
Two main reasons
>backlighting fails quickly
Backlighting LEDs fail quite often, and finding LEDs that match the ones on your board perfectly can be quite a pain in the ass.
It also requires knowing how to solder to replace them.
>good backlit keysets are hard to find
Most people here love aftermarket keysets. And good looking aftermarket keysets that support backlighting of the keys are quite rare. You never find them with neat color schemes like those of Signature Plastics keysets.

>neat
>Signature Plastics
If you enjoy thin ABS keycaps with shitty QC, be my guest I guess
>>53982258
lol
>>53982258
I fucking love my ducky shine 2 in pink LEDs with greens.
>>53982357
>If you enjoy thin ABS keycaps with shitty QC
SP uses PBT in many sets.
And the only shitty thin caps are their DSA ones, which no one seems to like anyway.
>>53982482
and their DCS which makes it 2 out of 3
>>53961178
i got cherry blues on mine i think, its fucking great m8. i love it.
>>53982549
not i think, i know i just checked and its cherry blues, and i love it
tfw my first keyboard was a pok3r, then i got a lolita, then op's magicforce
>have corsair k70
>the i keycap broke
>not had it long, so to support I go
>they want me to RMA the entire thing to france
>ask to talk to a supervisor
>supervisor says same thing
>escalate again
>manager wants more pictures
fuck, im going to just buy a set of keycaps from somewhere at this rate.
>>53982664
just get some caps m8, personalize your shit and dont give the french the oportunity to install backdoors in ur pcb
>>53973719
is this modded, or was it sold like this?
what kind of keyboard/keycap could it be? will it fit with the cherry's? I dont have any more photos
>>53961192
>dat pic
Da fug, why would you bring LPs outside. They are clearly for home listening, seeing how a scratch can fuck them up.
Are there any low profile mechanical keyboards?
Like I want the kind of profile found on those gay Apple keyboards but I don't want those shitty butterfly switches.
Can anyone point me in some direction like this? The board can be as faggy as you please but all I'm looking for is those gaps between the keys and low profile/flat caps.
I'm too lazy to build my own and need to satisfy my autism
