Who here has a unicomp/model m.

Is the 2 key rollover restrictive? Most forums say the wasd cluster is fine and that crouch jumping while strafing works. I usually have the V key glued down for voice chat so I'm worried. I was really looking forward to a buckling spring keyboard. My cm crossfire (with mx blues) is starting to shit out on me. The left alt and more importantly left shift almost never work now

>>54471482
>You can't type accents or french quotation marks on an US-EN keyboard.

bilingual keyboardist here

you can, using the US-INTERNATIONAL layout (in Windows, at least, not sure if linux supports it). It doesn't change any of the existing functionality but adds combos (typing 'e becomes é, etc) for the common international symbols which don't appear on EN-US keyboard hardware

>>
>>54471527
They are not my preference. I'm not autistic.

I just wanted to point the flaw in your defense over blank keys.

They're literally indefensible, there's no point in using them aside from the egotistical self-tap the other guy pointed, or questionable aesthetic choices.
>>
>>54471506
Coding with a french canadian keyboard is complicated. You have to use the right alt key to get some characters that are regularly used in code and command shells. I need the layout printed on my keyboard if I want to be efficient. More importantly, I'm not gonna dish out over $80 for a keyboard if it's not gonna show the layout I use.

And stop calling me Pierre you arrogant self-entitled dick-nosed cunt. I have never seen a QWETZ keyboard in my life so whatever you're talking about sounds like a you problem.

>>54471549
You're really blaming me personally and being intensely angry at me because you have to spend some more time shopping for your keyboard. I don't know if I should be disgusted, scared or amused.

>>54471526
That sounds like a good solution, if it's preloaded in Linux and Mac OS... (I have to use all three at my job) but it would require me to learn how to use a completely different layout. I don't know if I want to start taking on something like that...

He just insinuated that it's wrong to care about aesthetics, so I don't think he's actually serious.
>>
>>54472073
And you are up on yours.

But honestly: true minimalism is functionalism. These keyboards are by themselves more dysfunctional than 'minimalistic'. This is just a gimmick.

The only reason why a keyboard would be 'bare' in that sense and still functional would be if you could rearrange and rebind it in such way you could transform it, from say, a keyboard, to an actual dedicated program panel.

>'but hurr, in a sense that's literally what it is.'
yes, and I don't mean it that way.

keyboards are primitive anyway, so transforming them brings very little function.

but that's why your beloved gimmickalism is far from what you think it is.

and I wonder if you point and laugh at those that buy distressed clothing and washed off aesthetics delivered by big brands and 'designers' like Kanye West, or 24k gold iphones.
Gimmick to appease the ego. Same thing as your 'minimalism'. Just a different round. You're currently at the post-adolescence one.
>>
>>54472028
The CODE comes with ABS caps, but it has backlight. Some WASDs have PBT keycaps. The grey ones look like Vortex keycaps, the black ones are Tai-Hao, and the custom color keycaps are ABS. No matter which 60% you get from WASD/CODE, its going to be a rebranded Pok3r.

I also have an old cm storm quickfire rapid with blues as well as a model m, and an AEK II with no cable.

I get what you mean. Something that's extremely aesthetically appealing kind of does things to me. I wouldn't ever eat something weird like that, but I think the feelings of appreciation for a good keyboard are similar to those I might feel for a really good burger.

Seems to be pretty on point with the mainstream switches. Damn I hated browns with o-rings. If you're not going to commit for tactile feedback then I'd prefer if you didn't do it at all.
Blues are comfy, and feel eloquent with o-rings. They might not be as fast (which I'm not really feeling, even with fast paced rhythm games) but compared to membranes it's still about as big of an improvement as browns are.

The keyboard uses SMD (not RGB unfortunately) so any SMD compatible cherry clone will work. Along with the keyboard itself, I used taobao because I can read/type in chink.

Search "gateron 轴 SMD" and a bit of jewgle translate will get you what you need. Get a courier to buy for you if you don't know how to buy straight from there

Not that guy, but I just got some keycaps from Taobao (pic related) and it was surprisingly easy. Chrome's built in translate thing works for most pages, and the rest of the text can be copy/pasted into Google Translate. Taobao have their own freight forwarding service now that's integrated with the rest of the site. The only semi-difficult thing is paying the freight forwarding, but it's just a case of waiting for them to get your package into the warehouse and then paying them on the freight forwarding page, which is linked fairly prominently from the tracking page.

I used taobaoring before I learnt how to buy it directly. Being a ching chong helps although english is my first language

Buying it directly lets you use express shipping (recommended for expensive items) or consolidated shipping at a lower price by sending all your orders to a single warehouse before shipping, or you can ask the seller for a third option

I have similar layout but board is 100% sized. Stock keycaps are of mediocre quality. This layout is good for gayming. I like big enter and long left shift.

Pros:

-no gaymur lights

Cons:
-you have to buy universal keycap sets
-no empirical data on longlivety of switches

Sure, it was interesting the first time and gave a very different retro vibe, but does the world really need more of these? It's super gimmicky and only looks good on beige, red or teal cases.
Who am I kidding, they'll probably sell over 1000 sets to people who'll stick them on a board where they'll stick out like a sore thumb. Then they'll all post pictures of their shitty combination during the several weeks that orders arrive.

Massdrop is a risk in my book. I got a defective keyboard from them and it took around 2 months of e-mailing to get them to take it back and refund me. Then I saw the Topre PBT spacebars and I couldn't pass them up, so I took the risk and everything turned out fine.

The SA profile has become somewhat exclusive to Massdrop and the manufacturers own shop (mostly leftovers) lately. The really old machines capable of producing SA profile are being pushed to their limits.
Even experienced group buy organizers are being rejected when they ask for SA profile, SP knows they can't deliver to them when they'd rather deliver to Massdrop.
This is why it's so infuriating when Massdrop pulls shit like this and reruns a gimmicky design just months after the original run when there is so much potential for greatness.

I'm more excited for Royal Navy than this shit even though it'll just be DSA profile. Fuck Massdrop.
