This is my primary keyboard right now, it has MX Clears. The other one I like to use is a 60%, but that's not why I like using it. It's because it has MX Green switches. I don't love the click, but I love the weight needed to depress the keys. Are there any switches that take the bump of the clears and the stiffness of the greens and work them together harmoniously?

Hey guys, nitwit here

I used to be a semi-professional gamer (as in i wasn't but i could keep up with actual pro's) and everybody i knew would make fun of me for using a shitty ass $5 keyboard

It just felt so comfy though, whenever I would try their supposedly top-notch mechanical keyboards they just felt cold and hard and wasn't operate to flow over the keyboard smoothly

Seeing as my dear relic has died recently, I'm looking for a replacement. I have been thinking about investing into a good mechanical keyboard.

I just want one with a really soft touch really. Like I push buttons without actually have to give them a "push". That's what my old keyboard provided me, I haven't experienced a mechanical keyboard that has been able to give me that same sensation.

Any of you guys have any ideas?

I believe stiff tactiles would be Tactile Greys, which are unfortunately quite rare and aren't used in making mainstream boards. If you search around the interwebs you might be able to find them in bulk, otherwise you would have to manually replace the springs in your clears for stiffer ones

So I have a dilemma, on my Das Keyboard Model S Professional, the numpad 789 and + only work if the top frame over the pcb is pulled out of the keyboard. It's off warranty, and I didn't break anything taking it apart. I'm not sure what part of the frame is causing the problem exactly, so I'm hesitant to cut anything.

Hello friend!
What you have is an DIN port.

Pardon the American amazon links, but this is what I use and it works for me:
http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-PS2-Keyboard-USB-Adapter/dp/B000BSJFJS
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Keyboard-Converter-Adapter-Din5f/dp/B000067RBR

The main thing to make sure is that your USB-PS2 adapter is ACTIVE.

PSA-
Skip over all the shitboards and just get the endgame Topre. I wish I was memeing but I'm serious, I wish I bought this years ago instead of going through all the shitty cherry/buckling cuck/dick alps.

With that said, buckling is the only acceptable alternative to topre. Everything else belongs in a museum.

What weight switches do you recommend?

>>54488624
Not the person you're responding to, but I use 55g and love it. Most Topre boards only come in 45g though.
>>
>>54488624
45g if you're used to browns or something lighter, 55g otherwise. Both are good really, just get whatever is closer to a weight you're used to.

>>54488602
Smoothest keystrokes of anything alive, ACTUALLY tactile feeling unlike browns, it's nice and quiet compared to cherry alternatives. I'd also accept ergo clears but that's a whole lot of work.

I came from Browns to 55g and love it. It can get tiring to type on this if typing intensely for a very long time, but this virtually never happens to me.

I still wouldn't call them quiet enough for the office unless you get a silenced Type S board, but they are much quieter than anything Cherry MX. After using this, all Cherry MX switches feel cheap, browns feel like reds with dirt in them (i.e. not tactile), and the PBT keycaps that came with my Realforce feel heavenly compared to ABS.

>>54488714
The only Topre boards I know of that are full-sized with a numpad are the Realforce 104 series. The 104 UW and UB (White and Black) both have variable weighted switches on the keys, with 45g switches around the index fingers, going down to about 35g around the pinkies, and a single 55g on the escape key. Most people find that they're awkward for gaming, but work fine for typing. I haven't tried this myself.

The 104UG HiPro however, is uniform 45g, and has special elevated, curved, keycaps, which you may or may not like. Do note that due to the different switch housings used, you can't replace the keycaps with anything else, and putting the keycaps on a different topre board will work but be wobbly. I also have not tried this keyboard myself.

If you're made of money, you could theoretically buy one board with the springs you want (such as a Realforce 87U 55g) and transplant the springs into a fullsize board like a 104UW.

For the record, Realforce keyboards are seriously some of the, if not the, most well built keyboards ever made; though I've never had the opportunity to try smashing one against a Model M/F. They're extremely solid feeling and have a great metal backplate inside of them.

You may find a favorite keyboard, but there's always more stuff to try out. I thought I had reached endgame for at least a few months with the HHKB, and about two months later I got a chinkboard to fit my gaterons.

Next up is a clueboard, and putting my gateron blacks in that quickfire TK. Maybe I'll get a realforce if I get a keyboard-heavy internship next autumn.

Last I opened it, the PCB does allow for a standard bottom row. If the plate does too, then you're good to go, otherwise you'll have to have to cut some holes in the plate for the switches to be placed properly.

yes 75% keyboards are the master race and it is more standard then the only real competitor choc mini (pic related) so it will be easier to replace the caps. if you dont intend to replace them i recommend the choc mini though because the stock keycaps are alot better

Also, can we FUCKING talk about the Silver switches?? Would love to know who's getting fired down at Cherry for doing nothing but moving an actuation point up.
Moving the actuation point is all that clones have to do. With all the new competition, a higher actuating fucking Red is their answer? German engineering my ass.

I'm in the same boat. I have an older black widow ultimate with cherry blue switches, because that's the best I could afford with the features I wanted at the time. Now I can afford pretty much whatever I want though so I'd like something a little better.

They're like dummy keyboards that have different switches under the keys so you can find the feel that you like.

QC is still among the best in the industry, but they really need to work on their molds and new designs if this "ZF" wants the company to go anywhere.

>>54495121
Using softer plastic like gayteron would probably be a good start to things, cherry linears are scratchy af.

Though gaymurrs are the largest target market for mechanical keyboards, so they'll probably just come up with more gimmick to cater to those.

Brown or Blue? Is Leopold good?

I've used 10$ keyboards whole life and just decided to check if non-gaming mechs are sold locally and how much they cost. Ended up on some specialized website where I found Leopold FC660M being sold at old dollar rate (prices on most tech almost doubled last year in Russia). So is it worth getting or it's better to invest more money (like x2) and time to get Topre, which most people seem to enjoy here?
>>
>>54500036
Leopold makes good keyboards, but that right shift is non-standard and may make finding aftermarket keycaps a pain.

Though they do come with PBT caps.
>>

do you want it to click or not?
you will probably like the leopold a lot and if you can get it for cheap, that's great
