Why live?

>>52232404
You could include many switches
I like topre more than those
zealios would be my to go switch
I made this because I want to know what people prefer of these

>>52232328
>>52232341
They don't, i can hardly find any on my online equivalents and i need one now because i built a new pc for my office and i need a keyboard so i decided to go with the QuickFire TK since my other options
are black widows and shit, my question is, what will feel more like i am pushing a solid object and not something soft like a membrane, a brown or a red?

>>52232448
Neither of those switches will feel like a membrane keyboard (though it's not a membrane but a rubber dome that you are pushing).

Get a switch tester. You will thank yourself once you drop 70 bucks on a keyboard.

Mechanical keyboard is a step further just like a decent dac+amp after integrated mobo sound with cheap headphones or speakers.

Topre is muh warm vintage cables tier.

>>52232474
>Mechanical keyboard is a step further just like a decent dac+amp
things like this make me salty
gamers think they are audiophiles

>>52232474
I always wonder why people are obsessed with a type of switch that they never used and have no intentions of using.

>>52232469
I cant, it will take a full month to arrive and i need a keyboard in a few days, i just like to press on solid things, i don't care about clicks and weight, i just want to not feel like there is jello under every key, so is red or brown more solid feeling?

>>52232572
They both feel perfectly solid and neither feels like a rubber dome keyboard.

I'm not a huge fan of browns or reds, but I certainly prefer browns over reds. Others will be of a different opinion and disagree with me.

>>52232407
How much would this cost

Should I get the fc660c or hhkb?

>>52232592
Why do people in the archive say that browns feel mushy then? reds feel more mushy or less mushy?

>>52232653
The leopold if you cannot live without dedicated arrow keys, otherwise the HHKB.

Alternatively, you could form your own opinion on what suits your needs. Which one do you want? Get the one that you want.

>>52232669
Reds feel like nothing.They go down and hit the bottom and then come up.There is nothing to feel,its a linear switch

updated version specially for you

>>52232669
The tactile bump is not very pronounced on browns, thus some people call them "mushy". This is not the same kind of mushiness that you'd expect from rubber domes. It's a piece of solid plastic that you are pressing down with your finger, it's just that the resistance of the spring varies depending on the switch.

I agree with this guy (>>52232688) on how reds feel.

>>52232710
What about cream alps?

It's missing cream alps.

I can get a Corsair K70 cherry red for $100, worth?

>>52232725
I dont know shit about alps my bad I am too tired to retype a new one maybe on the next thread

>>52232688
>>52232712
Alright, i'll try browns for now, it's not like i am getting a 200 euros keyboard, i would like to try clears someday but i can't wait for an international order now so maybe next time.

>Have decent but cheap Rosewill mechanical keyboard that feels great and isn't riced out
>Get a G910 for christmas
>Y-yay
>Well the box says it's mechanical, maybe it'll be even better than the Rosewill
>No resistance, no click, barely any travel, feels like rubber domes
>On top of the whole thing being made out of that weird soft almost vinyl plastic
Why.

After getting around 30 anime figs including after market rarities for over $200 it's pretty hilarious to read your attempts to call someone poor because the only somewhat expensive keyboards out there are Gon's.
Everything else i(including topre and hhkb shit) s fairly cheap.

>>52232975
Dude I'm using a piece of junk waiting for my keyboard i paid over 200 shekels for.

I'm deciding between the Poker 3 and the Leopold FC660.

The FC660 seems like the perfect compromise since its a 60% yet has the full size arrow keys.

>pic related bottom is the fc660

>>52233054
Im quite fucking sure the leopold only comes in two shitty colors nowadays.

At least the topre one, dunno about the cherries 660

buy manga you uneducated pleb.

>>52233157
I buy art books, not manga.

I'd buy manga if I lived in Japan though.

>>52233145
Solid board, I've been using it almost daily for over 4 years, typing on it right now even. It's dirty as hell and missing the f16 key, and I haven't bothered to map any of the function keys, but it's stood the test of time (and test of grime) without any hiccups.

I still prefer my GH60 over it, but when it comes to this Apple keyboard, I really can't complain.

>>52233219
I'd buy manga if I were rich
I could read manga all day
I cant watch anime I just dont like anime
I fucking hate reading books
I'd rather watch the movie

>>52233219
What art books do you buy?

Do you have any recommendations?

I'm quite curious about those since I like the aesthetics and artwork, but I have no idea where to even start when looking for that stuff.

Other than that, you can always learn Japanese and import manga from Japan. That's what I did.

>>52233086
Colors wouldn't really matter to me as I'd just like a simple flat black.

Now I'm down to a KBParadise V60 and a FC660. (Local store doesn't have the Pok3r with blue's)

V60 looks really nice with a Dolch Keycap set but its ABS and the FC660 has PBT's with the arrow keys.

I used a Poker 2 a little over a year and loved the experienced, can't recall using arrow keys that much but having them there would have been much easier, I don't see them being faster as some people claim.

Dude I'm from /a/ since before haruhi threads.
I just don't come to /g/ to flaunt my autism and spam about plastic waifus.

Each board should have its culture.
I'm not one of those who oppose anime reaction pics outside of a, but it's ridicolous to ridicule anons for spending over a keyboard which is a tool you use everyday versus some useless piece of plastic that just stay there catching dust or receiving your hotglue.
Not to mention figures have horrible plastic creases and seams in the hair, worthy of a 5$ job not 200.

>>52233847
I like it and was about to buy a fc660c but then realized I'd have still continued lusting after the perfect aesthetic of the hhkb so I got that one and to hell with it.

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.

There's this here, looking at the rest of the stuff I'm sure it's part of the confirmation of sale thingy or whatever it's called from the vendor. Not anything that's related to the customs.

Though they make us pay customs upon delivery at the door anyway. Though I doubt that it'll be anything, it says 2100 yen right on the package.

>>52235492
It's legitimately fine to get *distilled* water on electronics, but I'd use a sponge or something, and be absolutely certain that: A) you don't break off any components (brush or scrub it lightly), and B) let it dry for much longer than you think it needs to. Be absolutely certain that there isn't any moisture on the board before you turn it back on.

>>52235813
Which group buy was this from? I've been trying to find a GB with coiled+sleeved USB mini, they're almost impossible to find for a reasonable price. Even without the coil, finding a sleeved USB mini is absurdly priced for what it is.

>>52232752
wait until more refurbished come out and save yourself $20

I got a refurbished k70 for $80 w/ shipping and i can't even tell that it is refurbished
the only thing that was weird to me was that the red textured keys that I got weren't wasd but qead or something weird like that (why they would print a z on a forward slanted key i don't know)
it doesnt matter though because i wouldn't use the red anyway.

it was literally one of the best purchases i have ever made, a good looking metal body mechanical keyboard that was only $80, when others are paying $130 for a new one

They don't.

Duckys are overpriced here and the corsair boards are priced breddy gud so are they actually any good? Even though they have cherry mx's i have a feeling that they're shit.

>>52237032
Which ducky? how much does it cost? compared to corsair?
If you buy corsair you have to live with the thin and shitty keycaps, especially since they're nonstandard bottom row. other than that, if you can get them for cheap they're gonna be alright boards. prepare for dead LEDs with some bad luck.

>>52237261
Shine 4 is like 180€ and shine 5 is 200+€. Shit sucks. I think im going to get a k70 now since i can get one pretty cheap as i saif earlier and im desperate for a mx blue board since i've been stuck on one of them microshit rubberdome "ergonomic" monstrosities for 6 months.

>>52237326
What is it you're looking for in a keyboard? You can get one for much cheaper than that.

I want to replace my MX Cherry Balcks because they're too stiff and hard to press for vidya. Should I buy a bunch of MX Cherry Red switches or just get a new keyboard.

Take all the caps off and then soak it in water with a little bit of detergent.Let it soak over night.Take it out and carefully damp it(dont scrape,blot it) let it air dry till dry

>>52237326
Seems like a normal price for Ducky to me ~
The K70 is decent, I've used one for a few months, passed it on to my brother now. All LEDs still working, but as I said the keycaps are pretty damn thin and that also makes the typing feel kind of unsatisfying to me.

>>52237326
No shit shine 5 cost more.It JUST came out

where to get custom keycaps for cherry g80 in uk?

Getting a K70 with red switches for best quiet mechanical results. Brown/blue fags need not reply.

Plus it's my first mechanical keyboard.

Why are keyboard space bars so big? Are there any keyboards that let me have a big mouse-style trackball on one thumb and mouse buttons on the other thumb, just for research convenience and eliminating the time spent constantly switching hands between mouse and keyboard?

logitech g600

>>52237976
Reds are linear and have nothing in the middle to made noise
You press it,it hits the bottom,it goes back up.

>>52237976
they are very slightly

>>52238027
Hitting the bottom is what makes noticeable noise on non-clicky Cherry switches.

>>52234076
where did you get the nordic keycaps from?

>>52238034
Not in any way that matters.

>>52238037
No different then any other tactile switch.
You have 3 moments of sound.
Middle,clack,bottom
Linears are just the reverberation of the switch,switching

this right here is all i require in a keyboard
why the fuck are there hardly any with dedicated media buttons? the only one's i've found also have a numpad
i'm not an accountant i dont need a fucking numpad
but i do listen to music so give me my fucking buttons

>>52238353
Because in order to fit those, they would have to be dome+membrane or some shit.

>>52238353
why not just use a board with the fn + media keys? same hand movments

>>52238353
why did you go to the trouble of making every key when you could've just found a pic on google

>>52233054
I've got one of those Leopolds - They're great however there's one thing you need to keep in mind, the cherry MX switches are standard but they use a custom keycap size - so you can't replace the caps unless they're specifically made for a leopold board.

>>52238353
Keybind numpad to be your precious media buttons?

>>52238378

fuck you, have you seen how many keys a numpad has? if you havent, go count them, i'll give you a hint its more than fucking 4 and a volume knob

>>52238642
I've never seen ANY board with them on the side.Thats retarded too.
If you want retarded shit on your keyboard,you're going to have to settle for whats on the market.
Or not be a pussy faggot and rebind them and be done with your bitching.
you have 17 options.
Hell make one play your favorite lip bizkit or slipknot song for all anyone cares

>>52238725
how is having them on the side retarded you immense faggot
they're out of the way when i'm typing, accessible when i need them
comparing a volume wheel/knob to some rebound fucking slut keys is the stupidest shit i've ever heard
say i've bound 7 keys on the numpad (play/pause, stop, next, previous, volume up, down, mute)
what the fuck are those other keys going to be good for
you think i'm going to reach all the way across the keyboard to type an 8 or 9? fuck you, those keys will be completely wasted

>>52238885
Cause its not a musical keyboard and you dont need them on the side to tap?
>what the fuck are those other keys going to be good for
You already said you have no use for a numpad.

Either take what is offered.
Or fuck off
Media keys=gamer rubberdome

>>52234953
yes it is

>>52238885
Dude, make your own keyboard and quit bitching then. Most of us have media controls on a separate controller for our amps, having an extra one on the keyboard doesn't make sense. If you're too lazy to make one, buy a Das 4 Pro with the volume knob, it hangs off the side and works the way you're describing.

Nope, the slider is different. Clears have a bigger tactile bump.

I don't know, it's hard to guage how heavy of a typer I am. I'm not sure if a stronger bump is a good thing or not.

Anyone buy and have any opinions on Logitechs Mech Keyboards? I'm mostly interested in either the G710+ or the G910 but I'm open to suggestions on something a similar price with backlighting with MX Cherry Browns or switches that are similar to those (Tactile/clicky but not overly obnoxious like blues)

How do I make my switches not sticky anymore? Spilled bacardi 151 on my keyboard and now some keys are really hard to push/ don't return.

I just got the Vortex backlit PBT/POM doubleshot set, and I'm pretty happy with it. The only problem is that the stepped caps lock it comes with doesn't have the stem in the center of the cap, so it doesn't fit. The normal caps lock works just fine though
