I bought some taihao gook naming company black/red keycaps. Will probably take forever for them to arrive. Anyone here ever wrapped their own cables? I'm thinking of a black/red braid for my usb cable. It's non detachable.

>>54029036
You haven't witnessed the beauty of as rock boards when you had 4 replacements in a row DOA. Only asrock boards that have lasted any time was there ITX ones for soem reason.
>>54029203
>>54029667
Christ I'll have to remember whoever it was that recommended me ASRock and kick their ass.
>>54029947
My buddy got an asrock board when I said I could guarantee it will be dead most the time. Guess what 3 dead boards later he just got an asus one. Asrock is only good for itx.
>>54030042
Mine worked for a total of six months. This most recent one had a bent LGA pin and when I looked at the USB 3.0 plug I noticed that half the pins looked like someone had ripped it out sideways. It's pretty fucking sad. Hopefully my i7 won't be destroyed through some fucking mishap.
Also how is Yotsuba&! as a manga? Only ever read a certain doujin of it :^

You disgust me yotsuba is not for lewd get B&. I was reading azu manga diaoh when it came out so I already knew I would enjoy the humor. They are expensive as fuck for some reason used to get them for $8 now some go for $14

any idea what would be causing it or how to fix it?

I bought an ergonomically weighted RealForce was this a horrible mistake? Should I have purchased a uniformly weighted board?
>>54030634
that sounds like some assdrop gimmick to scalp money from gullibles
>>54030744
Maybe, I don't know. This keyboard is less fatiguing than most mechanicals but the idea that my keys are variably weighted triggers my autism.
>>54030634
at least no one would steal it
>>54030634
Fear not, variable weighted keys are the patrician's choice.
Suggestions for demoing switch feel in the us? Also figuring out what kind is in what board? I'm thinking brown or red, probably one of the knockoffs.

Hey I'm looking to buy a refurbished keyboard from the Corsair site, but that shit is expensive as fuck. Is there anyway I can get a discount code or something?
>>54032388
Close the site and never buy from them again. Instant 100% discount, and you might even find something better for less.
>>54030042
>Asrock is only good for itx
Are they though? All this talk of asrock being arse has me worried about my potential mini-itx build
>>54032406
I've never bought from them before. Or can you recommend something better than the K95?
Does it make sense to buy blank pbt keycaps and put stickers on them?

What's that website where you can customize the color scheme of your keyboard including the case and keycaps? Not WASD's. It had like a white background and some color presets on it.
>>54033026
pretty sure he meant backlighting compatible keycaps.
>>54032958
It's the size of a standard spacebar, compatible with just about any aftermarket keycap set around that is not a set specifically for non-standard keyboards.
Controller coming soon.
>>54033030
Since you want backlighting you're probably fine with some compromises when it comes to quality and physical customization. A standard gamer type keyboard available at most electronics retailers should be fine for you.
Just pick something with cherry mx browns (slight bump you can feel) or reds (no bump) and maybe stick some o-rings on there if the noise still ends up being too much for you.
>>54033403
Yeah, custom I dont care for. I have nerve damage so I dont always know where my hand is that's why the backlit is essential.
I was looking at Filco Majestouch-2 but eh no backlit.
>>54033300
What is the size of a standard space bar in units?
>>54033330
are those diodes? What are they for?
>>54032530
Ive been using mine for years with my 2500k clocked at 4.5ghz, even done a bios flash or two with no problems. Mine was even an open box. I paid like $120 shipped for it a bit after P67 release for its like $260 MSRP. Ive never had any problems with RAM either Ive used 3 different sets in it one of which my friends MSI board couldnt use.
>>54033613

Thank you.

>>54030634
Most people who have tried both seem to prefer the uniform boards. YMMV
Where and which keycaps should i buy?

>>54033646
They prevent ghosting. NKRO is in the software.
>>54033708

>>54033728
I was going to help you, but then I saw your anime girlfriend and decided you aren't worth the effort.
>>54033731
Nope, they don't extend beyond the casing so the diodes are just dandy.
>>54033631
Like the other anon said, to prevent ghosting.
>>54033780
Ar..Are those Gaterons on a Magicforce?????
I need a matrix layout mechanical keyboard. (keys are in vertical columns) Any suggestions? So far only UniqueKeyboard has some options.
>>54033792
you can put any switches on any board, more news at 8.
>>54033798
Get in on that dox lyfe.
>>54033792
Yes.
It didn't come like this if that's what you're wondering.
>>54033803
I'm really, really, really sweating that board dude. That's really nice.
>>54033803
I don't understand this switch layout. Some of it makes sense like black on the space bar, but why is caps lock a red? Why the left shift but not the right? Why is tab black and not red?

What is your favorite switch, /mkg/?
>>54033822
too late.
>>54033811
Thanks, my only gripe with it are the stock keycaps, which are quite ok, but I'd rather have something a bit more low-profile. Thinking of getting some DSA dyesubs from signature plastics in white and blue.
>>54033817
I actually replaced the black switch on the spacebar with a red since it was a bit too heavy for my taste. I just about never use the right shift, so I'll probably use it as an FN key, in which case I'd rather have it be light. I use the capslock (going to be the control key) and the left shift a lot for playing insurgency, so I thought I'd rather have something that I won't risk pressing accidentally, while still not putting too much strain on my fingers since left shift gets pressed down a lot.
I use tab to check the scoreboard, so I thought I'd rather have something that I can just press momentarily and then release again without having to worry about accidentally hitting it.
I don't know if my worries of accidentally hitting keys is justified, but these clears are so fucking light that it seems possible.
>>54028910
Did I make the correct choice /g/? I'm a first time buyer and haven't used anything but scissor switches and rubber domes, I'll mainly be playing games (everything but CSGO or LOL) and occasionally typing.
I don't like how heavy MX Blacks and Clears are either, Reds and Browns are okay. I got the 45g fyi
![keychatter_2015-10-20_15-47-59-679x350[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HucZwyA.jpg "keychatter_2015-10-20_15-47-59-679x350[1].jpg")
I like how the keys are above the board and closed off. Really makes cleaning it up easy as shit.
>>54033919

>>54033979
Why, I prefer lighter switches and I don't want to 'adapt' to a keyboard. Are you speaking from personal experience?
>>54034019
I need the number row and the Fn row separate.
>>54034000
Mine fortunately didn't have LEDs, but if you want to change the LED color you can either use those LED color changing thingies (small bits of plastic you clip over the LED) or you have to replace the LEDs, in which case you'll have to unsolder and resolder a whole bunch of LEDs.
Unsoldering LEDs is a horrible pain. I have a desoldering pump and even with that thing desoldering an LED on my Shine 4 was an ordeal. I wouldn't recommend it unless you really want a different color LED.

>I'll mainly be playing games
>Topre
This is bait, right?
>>54034044
I'm literally not kidding, I couldn't choose between all the Cherry MX switches so I decided to buy a switch considered better than all of them. Did I make the correct choice?
>>54034044
>I need the number row and the Fn row separate.
I don't think it is. He's just fucking retarded.

Nothing wrong with Topre for playing games at all. Linears are nice for gaymen, but I do a lot of FPS with my HHKB and I can't complain at all. You can ride the collapse of the rubber dome like a trigger when adjusting your movement.
>>54034088
Mine was a bit more expensive and people say it is the best you can get, plus supposedly PBT feels great.
I'm really not sure if that's proper justification, what do you think?
>>54034095
Really? That sounds excellent, thanks.
>>54034118
The NovaTouch is a Topre switch, but it also has stems that are Cherry MX Keycap Compatible. That will make the NovaTouch much easier to replace the keycaps when you get bored and decide you want to mod your keyboard.
You clearly can afford it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiIs_d_G9c4
>>54034155
I understand your reasoning, but I'm far too busy/lazy to keycap mod by keyboard. I'm relieved that the real force topre switch can't be modified as it rules out such a course of action entirely.
I just want 1 keyboard for the next few years atleast, perhaps starting out with the best will eliminate the need to try out the rest?
>>54033886
>I don't know if my worries of accidentally hitting keys is justified, but these clears are so fucking light that it seems possible.
I guess if you regularly fat-finger keys it could be a problem.
>>54034118

don't worry about it

buying a $210 keyboard to play video games with is like buying a Mercedes to deliver pizzas.
The realforce is meant for office professionals who type thousands of words a day.
>>54034254
But, it can be used to play video games right?
>>54033728
n3ds? also which monitor do you use?
>>54034254
oh man this some crazy asspain
hey i bought 2 $200 topre boards and i exclusively only use them for playing games, and reds for actual typing, how does that make you feel?
>>54034288
absolutely
>>54034238
That's good to know, I'm really looking forward to receiving it in the mail next week and trying it out. A friend of mine has the HHKB and he recommended the Realforce to me after I told him I was looking for a multipurpose keyboard.
It's a shame that people can't provide feedback without personal bias getting in the way.
>>54034312
you'll be pretty happy with it if you're used to rubberdomes anyway
>>54034328
Apart from the extra lavender WASD keys to make it look a bit nicer/find it in the dark, is there anything else you'd recommend getting?
Also, is the black/grey font hard to see in low light conditions, I can touch type with ease but I occasionally look at the symbol keys.
Thanks for all this help, I really appreciate it

You better have custom aluminum build with brand new blue alps at that point.
>>54034451

Where do I have to sell my ass to buy a fc660m black + clear (or even black) switches?
The only boards that I am able to find are 660c or 660m priced as Cs.
>>54034489
FC660M is fucking japanese
>>54034470
Blue alps are a meme. They are overhyped, same with nixdorf. I am designing custom alu to be manufactured later in the year, and going all out as end game, I have mainly been buying vintage boards

>>54034352
I have your keyboard, except with 55g switches. I switched from 45g browns, which now feel like reds in comparison to this.
The keyboard is great for gaming, but I think anything that isn't full-size and has N-key rollover is great for gaming.
The dark keys are will not be visible in your mom's basement with just your monitor shining on it. The dark keys are visible in a poorly lit room otherwise.
>anything you'd recommend getting
If it becomes available on massdrop again, a PBT spacebar. Sadly Topre PBT spacebars seem to only be available on massdrop from Matt3o or from people reselling them on eBay. Everyone here with their HHKBs should get them too if they haven't already. ABS is utter shit, and I've managed to actually have wear the spacebar a bit. The stock PBT keycaps on the other hand, feel fantastic.
I want one of those cute small keyboards but I don't want to blow over 100 bucks.

>>54034044
>>54034069
I mean I enjoy gaming with my HHKB. The only game I play that makes me switch back to my Filco is ArmA, and that's because ArmA has more controls than there are keys.

Where can I get some custom keycaps for my Model F?
>>54037602
Unicomp
>>54037620
Not the person you told responded to, but some things are telling me that the Model F supposedly has N-key rollover. Is that true?
>>54037705
Yes and no.
It can handle as many keys as you can press, but Soarer's converter sometimes doesn't like it if you depress or release tons of keys at the exact same time.
Are reds good for typing?
I hear alot of people make more typos with it compared to browns.
>>54037866
They're good for typing if you like them for that purpose.
They take less (peak) force to get to the actuation point, so if you have fat fingers it could prove troublesome.
hi
>>54037866
Any switch that doesn't hurt you when using it is perfectly fine for typing.
>>54037853
Cool, thanks.
>>54037866
I like them. My fingers hurt after typing notes for hours with a membrane keyboard, now I can type for much longer with less pain.
>>54037866
>reds
>good
pick one.
>>54038021
Nothing wrong with reds.
>>54038021
Explain.
should i buy gateron blues or cherry mx blues?
>>54038408
I've got a bad experience with the cherry blue. They did feel inconsistent, the feedback was different and it depended on where exactly I applied the force on a key.
I did use black, blue, red and the blues are by far the worst; actually I rather use membranes than blues.
>>54038530
which were your favorite and why?
>>54036336
could your penis be any smaller?
>>54036222
where are the ctrl keys?
>>54038604
HHKBs dont have the key for some reason
>>54038604
where capslock usually is
>>54038563
I liked black the most but I switched as they were a little too loud, not that mechanism was louder but they need more force to actuate; more force, more noise.
I use reds atm and compared to black it's much easier to misstype on reds but if I focus on typing (rather than just slapping me fingers on keyboard) I type faster and produce less noise in the process
as a side note - good membrane keyboard ain't too bad. Eg. older apple keyboards
Any good chiclet keyboards?

Wait, how does that work? It's the opposite for me.

Man, you're going all out, huh?
The thing is, I bought all of the industrial model Ms.

>>54038889
then you're doing it wrong.
Reds are really nice, because you can drop your balls on them, and they move a little bit to catch them. No other key switches accommodate your sack. Almost as if they were saying "hey bro, I got your balls, leave it to me." And I'm like, "wow thanks keyboard".
This special BOND is why I will always choose reds, for typing and gaymin.

Did I fall for a meme or is this keyboard really as dank as people say?
Are there any 60% wireless mech keyboards just plugged the trigger on pic related and am looking for something that is cute and small to match with it.
Not trying to shill here but why do you guys like mechanical keyboards? I've tried them out before but they are really loud when pressing keys.
Can someone tell me the differences from the average mechanical keyboards you guys post here with pic related? (Microsoft Sidewinder X4)
anyone else make their own caps?
>>54040379
They feel nicer to use.

Keep making them better and better and you could enter the artisan meme game, son. Get that bankroll
Looks like WASD Keyboards has started reselling some Vortex PBT keycaps that have been available through other channels before.
There are some quite thick blank or side/top laser printed sets in white/dark gray.
There are also backlight compatible double-shot sets (PBT + POM legends!) available in black or white. Just beware as the black set is known for not letting through a ton of light in some places.

fuck, where can i buy a white filco?
>>54040682
lol nowhere
and he wont sell it to me
Why should people buy mechanical keyboards versus other ones?
I've been thinking of getting a CM Storm NovaTouch TKL, any thoughts?
Is there a service that will actually etch letters/text on keys in what ever font you want?
>>54041006
Go for it, just make sure to change the keycaps; the fact that it's a Topre with MX stems is the only real reason to get that keyboard.
I took the occasion to clean my keyboard today after xabpxvat zl grnphc bire vg. Shit was about as disgusting as you'd imagine it after three years. I heartily recommend it (the cleaning part) if you have a similar mess beneath your fingertips.
>>54040967
why in the fuck did they discontinue white ones? are there any mech keyboards alike? i cant find anything
>>54041104
idk
i've never seen one like it
they're still selling metallic red and blue for no good reason
>>54039117
Really... Cos I just bought one today.
is it possible to access the inside of the switch on plate mount or do i need to remove the whole thing
switch still makes contact properly but the actuation is fucked up so i'm wondering if getting inside and cleaning it would be enough

>I took the occasion to clean my keyboard today after xabpxvat zl grnphc bire vg.
>xabpxvat zl grnphc bire vg
wat
>>54041450
you need to desolder it
>>54041493
is it possible to press the switch and spray contact cleaner inside?
>people care so much about the sound their keyboard makes when they click a button
you're all mentally ill, you know that right?
>>54041559
I care about how the sound corresponds to the activation of the switch
this is why I use model M
was going to go for Ducky Shine 4 but I'm wondering if you guys think I can do better
>Budget
$150 but might be flexible if something just a little more blows the competition out of the water
>Location (continent at least)
US
>Preferred switch type
Cherry MX Red
>Layout
ANSI
>Form factor
Full or tenkeyless
>Backlight
yes, color doesn't matter as long as it's not white
>Previous/current keyboards
just normal non-mechanical keyboards

Never had an asrock itx board kill on me. Just stay away from anything not ITX. Extreme3 is the worst of the lot.
>>54041559
I just enjoy the feeling of a mech keyboard. Rubber domes are okay just not as nice feeling for typing alot on. Also it matter fo people with bitch fingers.
>>54041637
>Extreme3 is the worst of the lot.
why's that?
>>54041684
I used one 3 were DOA and the last one died after 3 months. Friend use done in hid build two DOA and the last one killed too. Just stay away form my experience.
>>54041509
probably
>>54041441
I know ;)
>>54037447
Ignore this joker; HHKB is the best keyboard money can buy unless you have some strange compulsion to play dressup with your keyboard. If you need to have artisan keycaps and neon LEDs, then I guess you're better off buying something else.
>>54041777
i'll give it a shot tonight, been a while since i've soldered so not real confident in my abilities
wish i had known corsair was such dogshit before i got this fucking thing
>>54041797
>HHKB
>good
when did this meme emerge
it's a glorified rubber dome
>>54041876
jealousy hurts everyone anon.
>>54041876
As soon as people started buying them and justifying their purchase.
They don't realize you can get a model F or blue ALPS board for that money, or hell 4 different Cherry boards with cash to spare.
Some people just can't get away from the rubber domes used while growing up, I guess.
>>54041487
What, you don't erpbtavfr ebg13, friend?
>>54041797
I personally just wish that the HHKB had a key in the bottom left corner; just for muh games.
Also, you're not giving enough credit to how nice a dressed up HHKB can look
>>54042039
As nice as any other "dressed up" mech board?
Lipstick and a rubber pug is still a rubber pig.
>>54042008
the numbers are such a dead giveaway. 1337 h4xors.
>>54041876
Probably when more and more people got shilled into buying one.
>>54042039
Stock looks good enough. I agree about the bottom left corner; luckily it isn't an issue if you get the JIS layout.
>>54040076
From where and what switches?
First keyboard. What do I use to clean? The dust kind of fuses to the keycaps and I'm not sure what wipes will do to the caps.
>>54042270
A slightly soapy damp microfiber is my first line. Removing the caps and soaking in water if the grimes too much.
You don't have any pad-printed legends to worry about coming off, but I still wouldn't use any solvents or alcohol.
>>54042068
That was on purpose, friend.
Got my chink mech (Outemu Black knockoff). Its way much better in gaming but my typing accuracy suffers. I have to slow down to get it back up. How long it takes to get acustomed to more responsive kb when I used ruberdome whole life.
How much less fatigue you get when you have o-rings installed?
Which touch typing tutor you recomend? Atm typing in keybr.com. I want something to practice full keyboard.
>>54032559
Any keyboard without autistic gaymer styling
>>54042359
I'm not your friend, buddy.
What's the best MX Green keyboard that isn't some autistic led gamer shit?
>>54034118
I have owned MX Red, MX Brown, MX Blue and Buckling Spring keyboards.
I prefer my Topre Realforce over all of them, gaming or not.
>>54042924
KUL ES87 or Ganss GS87 for TKL, Pok3r for 60%
>>54038530
>I've got a bad experience with the cherry blue. They did feel inconsistent, the feedback was different and it depended on where exactly I applied the force on a key.
Probably a bad batch. The cherry molds are apparently having issues.
Try gateron blues, or better yet, greens.

>They didn't preorder the new HHKB version.
>>54042924
>What's the best MX Green keyboard that isn't some autistic led gamer shit?
I don't think I have ever even SEEN an autistic gamer MX Greens board. The greens themself are pretty rare.
>>54044089
Link?
>tfw you fell for the TKL meme and end up having input a good amount of numbers for engineering courses
>>54044118
know your preferences and needs anon. i couldn't love my tkl more.
>>54044127
>know your preferences and needs
that's fucking HARD
