Don't call tripfags "anon", anon. Just filter them.

>>52525748

I sold that keyboard many years ago. I would suggest it. Its not the best built keyboard but its not bad by any means. It has a very fair price too but the keycaps suck which got fixed years ago (or so they claim). Hence why I used to use cherry PBTs on mine back then. The bottom row is not standard size so you cant really replace them either. They also don't use cherry switches anymore I believe. The highlight is really the small form factor while having everything a full size keyboard has.

I was just using my filco while taking a dump. I feel really dirty and regret this. Is there any way to clean it without damaging the board? I really do not feel like dropping a ton of dosh on another board... bad this one around for a bit

Anything else I should consider?

>>52526895

You should consider yourself as a man of good taste.

>>52526895
That board might ping a bit, but otherwise it's a pretty good board.

>>52526844
I guess like is it worth it and does actually works. I like the idea of an ergonomic board but I don't know if its actually something I would notice or if its just more of a placebo thing

>>52526915
That's all subjective, but to call it placebo is folly. It definitely has elements that are more ergonomic, but not all keyboards fit everyone. Some people don't like the dox's thumb clusters, for example.

Who uses a mechanical keyboard in their office? Is a Dell AT101W too loud for office use?

>>52526901
>>52526906
Any way to reduce the ping?

>>52526903
Was put off by browns after several people said they were mushy.

>>52527149

I'm not joking in case you're wondering.

If you can desolder the switches (or just send the keycapless board) one country south, I'd be glad to cover the shipping.

>>52527197
I'll think about it, but I'm not entirely sure, if I'll actually sell them.
I just now noticed they are PCB-Mount and since I want to test some lubed clear switches I can use them as a platform.
>>52527187
Thanks man, I'm quite happy with them as well. The G81 set is in (way) better condition though. Kinda stupid I paid more than twice as much for the G80...

There's tester boards for switches, right? I might try to find one of those before I take a punt at browns.

The pictures aren't very good. At least work on your lighting so we aren't straining our eyes when we open the image. Almost every "artsy" picture of a keyboard in here has shit focus, terrible lighting, and ridiculous framing.

>>52528817
Razer is a hit and miss company with lots of misses, but their hits are strong, like the death adder (some versions, at least). The newest black widows are okay but you can get as good or better for the price.
Corsair is shit in general and none of their products are any good.

Just put some of my ISO Cherry doubleshots on a MX-White ANSI board and created this abomination.
Anyway, it feels so much nicer to type on these keycaps than on the stock shit.

>>52531542
I have no idea either. I looked to see if anyone else had tried to make a 60% out of an old apple keyboard, and certainly some cool guy on geekhack did.

He got the metal plate cut and sent me his firmware. All I have to do is copy his matrix and load the firmware on the controller.

I'll probably have to educate myself on the TMK firmware with whatever my next project will be, but for a first I'm quite glad that I could follow in someone's footsteps.

>>52531588

Not a lot of interest amongst a large chunk of the population if they can't call it a meme placebo shill.

Is the firmware he sent you TMK?

>>52532057
I barely know anything about the TMK firmware and I haven't even looked at it yet, but in his own words it's modified TMK.

Shitposting from a Model M is pretty comfy.

If I really like keyboards with tactile feedback like the buckling spring type, is buckling spring my only real option? My old IBM was lost in my last move and I miss it so much.

>>52532103
Interesting. I wonder if it's just the matrix /keymap that has been modified, or something deeper.

Does the noppoo choco mini have different size keys on the leftish side of the board compared to a standard keyboard? I play a lot of games and don't want to readjust my finger positions for different size/position keys there.

>>52532209
https://geekhack DOT org/index.php?action=profile;u=45686

This is the guy's profile. I'm sure he'll be glad to share the firmware with you and answer whatever questions you have if you send him a message.

The thing is, it'll be even more expensive than the clears with the added shipping charge off WASD. Amazon got my back with a replacement by Friday. I'll just say fuck it and let her enjoy blues. What more typing does a girl do than a few youtube searches, right?

Koss Porta Pro with one of these attached to one of the headphones

I went to best buy to try out their keyboards and they had 3 kinds of switches.

>greens
i have poor form, so I switch between bottoming out and lightly pressing keys, and the false bottom "tactile" bump kept throwing me off.
The clicking sound is really annoying, I really have no idea how anyone could tolerate the grating noise of mx blue switches unless they're wearing a headset.

>romer-g
i've never heard of this one but I tried it and it just felt like a rubber dome

>reds
They don't feel at all mechanical, it's literally like pressing down on a spring with no resistance.
I will not lie tho, it was really comfy to type on and the key noise is quite satisfying, regardless of whether i was lightly tapping or bottoming out.

So now I'm wondering if I should try out blacks or just order an mx red board.
There's no other stores around me that sell mechanical keyboards, as far as I know.

>>52533339
blacks are close to green's in weight. possibly try browns.

>>52525653
do you know of anything like the choc mini that has no F-key row? but has those side buttons

>>52533470
So blacks are close to greens in resistance?
Also, browns are tactile, meaning they'd still have that false bottom bump even if they're not noisy.

>>52533339
>greens
Probably those were razer greens, which are clones of cherry mx blues.

>it's literally like pressing down on a spring with no resistance
It's a linear switch, yes.

>>52533523
>false bottom
What do you mean by this? Why is the tactile point at actuation a "false bottom"?

>>52533641
The thing you call a "tactile bump", I feel it as a false bottom.
It's really weird, I'll press down halfway and the key doesn't depress completely the moment i stop applying pressure and the key is still sunken halfway as i move away from it to press another key and it's just really grating.

>>52533710
Sounds like you're too used to rubber dome + membrane boards that equate the bottom of the stroke to actuation. You'll get used to it pretty quick, just put more force into it and you'll see how it works.

Someone explain how you even use these 40% keyboards. They must be macros everywhere but I can't understand how you can do everything with so little keys.

>>52533744
Layers upon layers.

Does anyone know if there are any "stock" keyboards sold with greys?

Or is the best hope like Massdrop.

Are there any switches in circulations which are actually "heavier" than 80g? Personally I would like to test something like 200g

>>52533877
>Does anyone know if there are any "stock" keyboards sold with greys?
Nope.

>Or is the best hope like Massdrop.
I'd be surprised if even Assdrop had them as an option.

>Are there any switches in circulations which are actually "heavier" than 80g?
Not presently, no.

>Personally I would like to test something like 200g
Aftermarket springs exist, I believe.

How much do Topre PBT spacebars go for?

>>52533917
I've tried to find any specifications for the springs in for example greys/greens
I actually found a company here that produces small springs for like pianos or something, super specialised sizes. I might actually try it out... My only problem is that I don't have soldering stuff but like only plate mounted led switches

>>52533744
Nobody actually uses them.

>>52532825
I really like this colourscheme. If only it wasn't missing a bunch of keys I generally use.

>>52534550
>Yeah but I didn't have that issue with reds.
Because they're not tactile.

>>52534768
not like you have to buy the keyboard with the keycaps. also it still has them. learn to FN and never have to move your hands from homerow.

>>52534791
What does tactile mean exactly?
People seem to describe rubber domes as tactile and the only response you get from those is the initial resistance from deforming the rubber dome and the soft thud from mashing the rubber dome down to the membrane sheet below.

If that is tactile, then the word "tactile" is meaningless

>>52535158
Tactile means when you press down on the switch, there would be a point midway where you would either feel or hear a minor click knowing the key had registered.mx blues and Browns, the more popular "tactile switches" have a bump. You can feel at the halfway point. Mx. Reds you don't feel, and that is why most typists hate the switch since they don't know if the key registered and they would typo often

>>52535158
Touchscreens for example aren't tactile.

Just about to buy a TKL CODE keyboard with blues in a massdrop, it'll be my first mechanical keyboard. Anything I should be aware of before buying? I heard something about ping issues, but that was on clears and didn't seem like that big of a complaint to me

So I've been using my topre keyswitches for roughly 3 days now and I figured I'd share my thoughts with you guys. I've used cherry reds, blues, and browns.. The topre keyswitches pop back up with a bit more force than cherry switches. It makes you feel like your fingers are bouncing on each key.

I've read that these switches have a "mushy" kind of feeling but I've never felt anything like that, if anything it feels like a non-sandy brown. The keys don't really wiggle like they do on my cherry boards and the presses feel a lot more snappy to me. I definitely prefer these keyswitches but it's also a preference thing and I could totally understand those who prefer other keyswitches.

Also these things (HHKB) sound so fucking amazing. I have no idea how to describe it but I genuinely love the sound.

They are discontinued. You can still find them on aliexpress tho, currently only sold on china mainland. Although not the same model, s2 model has doubleshot ABS keycaps and KBT switches instead of cherries.

The fullsized board was replaced by ducky one, the TKL version was anounced on their facebook, but still no release date.
