My Elven kit
Trying to decide if I want new mods. I think Elven with the Granite text and icon mods looks too busy so I might get some grey blanks.
>>54384396
Rings aren't too mushy for you?
>>54384536
I'm of the opinion that a mix of legended keys and blanks doesn't look very good.
>>54384545
Not really, no. I don't really get the whole 'mushy' concept
>>54384563
I agree
all or nothing
>>54384689
Well, it's about how the rubber will stop you from travelling further, but there is still some give if you apply more force. It's this squishing that robs you of a definitive bottom to your keystroke, the presence of which can be quite satisfying.
>>54384563
I kind of regretted not getting a mod kit but once it got here I loved it. I thought I'd end up looking for a granite pack on mechmarket or buying some dye subs but I don't think I will.
>>54384020
almost bought it but realized the spacebar is non-standard. gonna wait for the keycool 84
>>54384160
Do you have one? I can't find a review of either of the two wireless ones I found.
>>54384924
only a wired one
i don't have a need for wireless
besides the keycaps and limited switch choices
i haven't found a higher quality feeling board
>>54384924
I have a Majestouch Minila, great little board if you can stomach the price.
Switches are consistent and battery life is amazing. 2+ months with heavy use is a breeze for these.
>>54384858
lol same, i'm getting a miami set soon and planned to get that kb with the white frame until i found out that the spacebar was non standard. going for the keycool 84 as well instead
>>54385296
Looks like you puked liquor and wiped it with a towel.
did that cuck IvanIvanovich ever show his face?
>>54385296
I don't understand mods like this.
To most people it just looks old and dirty not 'Fallout 4', or whatever.
>>54385339
afaik, no. I want my miami night set as much as everyone else does. Quite a shitty situation as some neets have spent 400+ on plastic. lol
>>54385269
how do you deal with some of the mod keys when buying keycap sets?
>>54385365
Probably not functionally sound to use. It's most likely a shelf piece. I think it looks pretty nice. I would not mind having a distressed looking case with mint caps desu.
>>54385450
Why would it not be functionally sound
>>54385472
I'd imagine that the discoloration on the caps would rub off with some use. I do suppose it being heavily used would add to the aesthetic.

You will definitely not feel the actual ABS plastic through those WASD caps, because they have a shitty coating on them. Prepare to be disappointed when the coating starts to flake off.

Holy potato quality, Batman. But here's the HHKB I got in today. Still not 100% sold on the layout, it feels weird, but god damn do the switches feel so fucking good.

>>54385733
Tends to happen on keysets that are pretty smooth to start with. Sorta like the entirety of GMKs lineup.
It's much less noticeable on sets that have a definitive amount of grain on the plastic.
>>54385777
>>54385800
Now I'm meme do I need to take aesthetic photos of my keyboards?
>>54385829

>you'll get used to the backspace being on the \ in no time. Now I get thrown off when I go back to my poker. also ctrl on caps is fucking amazing too.
CTRL on caps is god damned amazing. Seriously, best thing ever. Took me all of 10 minutes to get used to. Delete on \ I can deal with. The part I really don't like is the arrow keys. I wish they were under WASD.
It also doesn't help I have a Planck kit coming next month too. It's gonna be fun jumping between all 3.
>>54385777

>>54385822
What do you feel makes a buckling spring keyboard superior to a Cherry or Topre based board? Just curious, they aren't too expensive on eBay and wouldn't mind having one laying around.
>>54385865
ABS in the industry is pretty well known as being a cheap, soft plastic. It's my theory that the minuscule amount of dirt that is normally on your hands slowly wears down the plastic with time. That amount of dirt acts like a very slow acting polishing wheel.
>theoretical, of course.
>>54385865
yes
>>54385885
backspace there just feels more natural. less hand movement.
>>54385901
I KNOW RIGHT
>>54385936
Natural oils from your fingers eat away at the plastic over time.
>>54385950
>backspace there just feels more natural. less hand movement.
I can't argue with that, it's just awkward to keep trying to hit backspace and wind up with 3 \'s
>>54385950
>yes
I may go up the woods this weekend then and get my meme on!
>>54385952
>theoretical, of course.
I'll accept that as an answer. I don't consider myself a materials engineer.
Sorta makes me want to get an abs set to see how long it would take to shine.
>>54385991
It's not some magic science. Constant abrasion will wear down ABS, oils or not.
>>54385822
The meme fell for me

Hello /mkg/
Quick and dumb question, sort of new to mech keyboards. Do 60% bottom cases meant for the Poker 2 fit Royal Kludges (specifically revision 2)? Thank you.
Is there a portable bluetooth mechanical keyboard I can use with my Android device?
>>54387342
Royal Kludge, RK61. I think there might have been one by either Noopoo or Varmillo too, but don't quote me on that.
Are those capacitive keyboards that show up on Massdrop now and then any good? I'm not buying a Topre any time soon but I want to try out a different feel than Cherry MX style switches.
>>54387433
I posted earlier in the thread, just got my HHKB today (has Topre switches, for the record). It's hard to say, it has an interesting layout, but an incredible feel. I'm loving it so far, don't know if I'm loving it to the tune of $225, but damn it's good. If you ever get a chance to try one out, I highly recommend it.
The switches have a very different feel to them, and it's incredibly pleasant. Only thing I can say is I wish it had a slightly more defined click sound, but otherwise, it's damn good.
Hi /mkg/ i'm going to get my first mech. How about a ducky one? That's about the only good one i can import without spending too much.
Also cherry mx red or brown? I don't play videogames too much, i'd say it's 85% typing and 15% gaming. Sadly, i have no other choice of switches
>>54387636
Sounds like a good first board, reds are at least smooth without the crappy "tactile" bump in browns that just ends up feeling scratchy.
Who else here /reds/ ??

Not sure I want it with kailh switches though... Might just wait for Massdrop to reissue it.
>>54387710
Oh look someone who shits on linears, never thought I'd see that
>>54386880
They come with warranties.
I'm thinking about getting one since my cheapo crossfire keyboard is going to shit with the left shift and left alt keys.
>>54387780
People do this??
Also browns are objectively inferior to blue/green. Go linear or tactile not mushy garbage
>>54387935
i can only see myself doing this with the UDLR cluster, since i use it to play stepmania. blue switches are the worst for rhythm games.
>>54387935
its actually really nice for WASD driving and FPS games
and clicky next to mushy is weird so thats why browns instead of blue/green. also everything is 40g springs

Yeah, but I don't want to even pay that much for one.
I've seen those before, if they reduce the size of that case I might consider it, but I think they are a bit bulky for a modern re-production.

they're actually doing an ultra compact F62 case that's exactly that.

Get something good like SP and you will be fine.
>>54390231
Depends on what you consider ergonomic; I've got plans to build an ultimate hacking keyboard style board with RGB underlighting.
>>54390484
I prefer ortholinear key layout. Makes a big difference imo.
You could just buy and assemble a Diverge TM. Pretty sure you could do at least one color underlighting if not RGB.
>>54390518
yeah, but then I'd miss out on the fun of designing the whole thing from scratch.
>>54390529
I can't be fucked to make a plate.
Really interested in handwiring. I'd build a dactyl if I could get my hands on a cheap printed case. Not gonna spend $250 on one.
desu I love my ergodox, only change I would consider is 1u outer keys, which I think can kinda be done with some modification of the stock PCB.
>>54390529
Oh and look into using a usb c cable for the connector. Haven't done so myself, but I hear it works well.
>>54390561
>>54390564
>I can't be fucked to make a plate
making a plate is rather easy with this here
http://swillkb.com/
I'm mainly curious about making a PCB.
Will do, I've also thought of using USB C just for the sake of fanciness and the novelty of it.
I'll have to find some elegant solution to connecting the two halves though. I think the easiest would be to just have the matrix arranged like in a regular keyboard and to pretty much just have the cables "jump" from one half to the other with a bunch of cable, or rather, some kind of elegant cable with a fuckton of single cables inside. I'll have to see if there's some kind of data cable that has what I'm looking for.
>>54384858
yeah might be a good idea... its almost impossible to replace i think its the only keyboard that has a 5x5 spacebar
>>54388444
>they're actually doing an ultra compact F62 case that's exactly that.
They're doing one for the F77 as well.
>I'm waiting on him to show a working final version before I buy
There will be a second round for everyone who wants to see models in the wild.
>>54390231
>I hear good things about QMK though.
I hadn't heard about improvements in usability over TMK.
>>54390587
>I'll have to find some elegant solution to connecting the two halves though.
I was looking at building a dactyl, and someone recomended using pro-micro boards.
The pro-micro boards can link together (he used a TRRS, but a usb c would work too), yet will also function seperately. So you could plug just one half into the computer, both into the computer, or chain them.
>>54390695
I hear it is easier to set up a matrix with (not that TMK is especially hard).
And it has RGB support.
What do you guys use for maintenance - like a good brush to get whatever bits out from between the keys without having to take them off?
>>54388696
varmilo va68m with GMK dolch caps
>>54389092
yeah ok buddy
>>54390968
>pro-micro boards
cheers, I'm a lazy shit and I'd rather keep things as structurally simple as possible since I don't know jack shit about coding, but I'll hopefully know a whole deal more by the time that I actually plan on getting started with this stuff, so I'll keep those in mind.
>>54391076
I don't know for sure, but apparently you can just use tmk/qmk on them.
Not sure what type of coding would be needed to link them together though.
If that is too much trouble, the Teensy 2.0 and io expander combo like on the regodox works great.
what new PBT caps to put on Shine 5 ?

>>54391311
yah but they are not available any more :(
>>54391405

60-70 € budget you dumb tripfag.
>>54391427
is it complete? how much for it?
>>54391636
It's complete.
I'm not sure what a fair price would be. PBT sets don't really decrease a whole lot in value even when they're second hand since PBT is durable and doesn't develop shine.
How does 35 bucks sound?

>>54393887

Yes it is a pok3r.
I didn't change the space bar as there caps are cheap abs and the pok3r stock caps are pbt. Plus I'm a raging faggot who thought it would look funny.

>>54393969
The layout pictured is ISO. But fear not as the caps came with keys for both ISO and ANSI so no stress. I don't actually use this keyboard for any heavy typing so am not bothered about abs vs pbt. I like nice things so have my eye on a pbt set that I will get in the future.

Like this?
Still waiting for my matching red escape key. Hopefully it'll start shipping to me tomorrow.
>>54395663
Your keyboard is wrong. Plis fix.

yes exactly

>matching red escape key
How would that match your set?
Also, I agree with >>54395829 Its a cool set, but it needs those caps up there to look right imo.
>>54395829
I've got enough keys to do that, so I might try it tomorrow.
>>54396004
The red escape key is also blank PBT by the same manufacturer.
A colorful escape key is very popular in combination with the Dolch colorway. I want to try to add just that little splash of color and I feel like this is quite conservative compared to the tacky shit some people stick on their boards.
>>54395829
I dislike that look, myself.
>>54395663
should've been all black imo
Black is boring.
>>54396794
No it's not
>>54396794
It's neutral, cleaner than white, and not drab like beige. It has its place.
Custom PCB design is hard. Anyone got any keyboard specific links or guides?
>>54396922
I don't think I've ever seen something on keyboard PCB design, but it seems like it'd be quite easy if you know how handwiring works and how to design PCBs in the first place.
Looking for a:
>black frame keyboard
>MX blue switches
>ANSI layout
>tenkey
>blue LED backlighting
>price under $200
There's things like the K70 RBG, but it doesn't come with blue switches.

you would get a fucking k70 but not a ducky? what are you fucking retarded?
>>54397954
i wasn't the one asking
i'm just expressing my opinion that no one cares about with memey anime pictures, as is normal on this shit image board
>>54397719
Meh, I wouldn't buy it, but when someone wants an outdated layout, specific LED color, and meme switches there aren't many options

I'm trying out a rubberdome keytronic that resembles a model M, feels nice as a change from cherry blacks.
>doing it to motivate myself to program more if that makes any sense
>>54398054
Thanks, m8.
Are there any other keyboards that share this layout? I like it, but don't like that you can't turn off the backlighting completely.
>>54398193
>that you can't turn off the backlighting completely
a- are you sure about that? I had one of those once and I'm fairly sure that you could turn the backlight off.
Not that I'd recommend it, it's a piece of shit.
>>54398226
All the reviews online say that the WASD / Arrow keys stay lit, no matter what.
>>54398226
Not that guy but some keyboard, I'm looking at it right now. You can get it off when you turn num lock on.
But with num lock off the arrow keys are still lit up.
>>54398299
>>54398358
Ah right.
If you don't want any backlight you could just remove those LEDs that you can't turn off, would take a soldering iron and about ten minutes of your time to do.
>>54398390
That's what I'm thinking of doing. What did you dislike about it, BTW? (Assuming you're >>54398226)

Oh, so you have to turn the brightness down to get all the other lights off, then also turn num lock on to turn those arrow keys off, right?
>>54398555
Turning the brightness down doesn't do too much, but I usually keep at its lowest setting because the highest is just too bright.
The F1 key doubles as FN key to just turn off the backlights, but then you are correct. You do also have to turn num lock on to turn the lights on the arrow keys off.
I personally really like the keyboard itself. I have blues (can't remember what options there were when I bought it) and I like them. I don't fret about the backlights too much since I keep my room dark like my soul.
>>54394405
It's a V60
Soo I ordered O-rings. I want to get some custom Keycaps but I have problem with identyfing name of this layout.
It has ISO enter and long shift like ANSI. Any chinese factories worth investigating for replacement caps with something that is universal?
Oh man, the pro micro I ordered off ebay finally came in. Took two months and I wrote it off for lost. Now I can get to work on https://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/ntc-kb-6851ea-soarer-s-converter-with-a-cheap-teensy-clone-t12773.html.
>>54397523
Are there any animes like pic related where dude just casually takes upskirts and shit bonus if that's his sister
>>54398714
The layout doesn't have a name. You'd need to get a set that supports both ISO and ANSI.
>>54398418
>What did you dislike about it
I disassembled the thing just to take a look at it, these are my gripes:
>non-standard bottom row even though the PCB allows for it
>thin metal plate (flexes if you have it on the stand-offs and press down on it)
>flimsy plastic case
Also, the spacebar stabilizers were a wobbly piece of shit and the OEM is known for dead LEDs (though that's probably not something you'd be worried about).
The layout is really cool, but the bottom row is my largest grip, the PCB even allows for a standard one and there's no good reason to use a non-standard one.
>>54398714
If you can find a set that has both ISO and ANSI modifiers available, that's be what you're looking for.
Though I'd just get a new keyboard with a sensible layout.
>>54398742
I guess on the bright side, the keyboard is pretty cheap and readily available. If other keyboards had a similar layout I'd check them out.
>>54398909
I'd just build something like that myself if I wanted a layout like that. I think something that I'd add is a modifier key that you can just hold in order to activate the arrow keys that goes back to the numpad on release. Like that you don't have to press numlock every time you want to switch, would make you the office shark when it comes to crunching data with Excel.
Though I can understand that most people can't be bothered to build something like that when quite a similar product already exists.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb0v3qYML0U well why something like that is not in the op?
http://www.maxkeyboard.com/max-universal-cherry-mx-translucent-clear-black-full-keycap-set-top-print.html hmm found something like this for non standard layouts
>>54399073
Why would a random keycap set be featured in the OP?
>>54399245
I dont want THIS particular video. I had in mind putting some /g/ made comparsion vidya of pbt vs abs.
>>54399424
>I had in mind putting some /g/ made comparsion vidya of pbt vs abs.
That's dumb.
>>54399424
Oh I see.
Why though? The differences between PBT and ABS are quite well documented all over the place already. See ripsters guide on ABS vs. PBT for example.
>>54399424
do you want some fat autist show off his greasy keycap collection, then go into a rant why topre isn't mechanical and the model m is the best keycap design ever?
because thats all i visualize
>>54399780
>Lighter switch on spacebar
To what end?
>>54399846
i thought it might be ok, but it felt like garbage so i pulled it apart again and put in an ergo clear like the rest of the board
>>54399780
>do you want some fat autist show off his greasy keycap collection, then go into a rant why topre isn't mechanical and the model m is the best keycap design ever?
Heh, now I feel like doing that myself.
>>54399878
Make sure your definition of "mechanical" is incredibly specific.
>>54399869
I got a board with blacks and hated the spacebar so I put a Gateron blue in and it's amazing.
If only the rubberholics would just admit their boards weren't mechanical.
Guess those 250 dollars have to be justified somehow.
>>54399924
Are we having this discussion again?
Let's hear your definition of mechanical then. And make sure to explain why it's right.
>>54399941
>Are we having this discussion again?
It takes two to tango. Don't respond and you don't have to have the discussion.
>>54399941
No, it's already been done to death. Just enjoy your rubber domes with a spring in them.
>>54399955
What if I want to hear it?
It's not like reading the opinions of plebs takes a whole lot of attention from watching anime.
>>54399967
Gotcha, will do.
