Currently my membrane keyboard for my laptop but my Ducky One should be coming the mail soon.

>>59090467
currently using a rosewill rk9000 w/ blues that I got in 2010

I'm looking to get a new keyboard but I can't decide on the switches. Should I get a pok3r rgb w/ different switches or stick with blues? Should I get the realforce RGB?

why do so many people have the Ducky One? What makes it better than other keyboards

>>59091300
in their defence, the pro mods kit is twice as large as it needs to be because of all the colour variants in it

blame the boring and badly optimised colourway more than sp

>>59091413
1. Ducky is a really good manufacturer and makes good quality boards
2. Comes in a variety of options, from RGB to white/blue LEDs to none as well as a bunch of switch types
3. Slick design
4. Minimalist KB that doesn't look too autismo "gaymur" like other mechanical on the market.

>>59091271
>stepped caps lock in ISO kit rather than base or pro mods
Fucking what
Was the set designer on drugs when splitting the kits up?

>>59091413
I didn't like the Corsair K65, CM Masterkeys dropped 2 weeks after I bought muh KB and I could've bought a Pok3r but I am was a full KB user.

>>59091510
Lole fuck meh grammar. Anyways, I'm loving the KB itself.

I am looking forward to buy more keycaps, probably the one OP's pic. Looks cool mein

>>59091413

I thought this was a meme, do americans actually do this?

I will often accidentally hit more than 1 key at a time when typing fast. Maybe because my keys are close together. Will a mechanical keyboard help me type faster? I've been typing all day every day since a young age but I can't type fast without making a mistake

>>59094183
Sorry for only getting back to you now, turns out I do actually have a bag of mx browns laying around.

Should be about as many switches as you'd have on a TKL, though maybe less, I desoldered them from a quickfire TK, but I dunno if this is all of them, nor can I be bothered to count them. I don't really care for them, so if you cover the shipping costs to wherever you are, they're yours.

>>59096856
Probably yes. Making shit custom will most likely be more expensive than a cheap chinkboard. Desoldering isn't really difficult, it's just stupidly time consuming and not very interesting.

>>59097069
Thanks. On another note, where can I buy switches in Europe? Even gaterons from China will fuck me over with customs

Yes, but everything is expensive here, for example, 30 pounds - 35 euros for 110 Gaterons. Not that expensive if you actually consider everything, but I was going for a budget KB.

Taobao has very cheap gaterons, but they didn't ship for 3 weeks and I just canceled the order. Might get into agents if they don't rip me off.

>>59099146
If you don't mind clones then noppoo makes some, but I heard they feel more like rubberdomes then topre. You could also get a used topre keyboard. Otherwise a typeheaven for around $140 is the cheapest topre keyboard.

>>59099298
As long as they are abs legends that don't wear down

Can't you get caps for like $30 anyways

>>59099344
haha, not for topre
you can get mx sliders but that will cost you and they're supposedly not as smooth as topre sliders

Really not necessarily a deal breaker but with price factored in I couldn't justify it for my use case.

People are pissed that he makes gateron keep the molds exclusive to his runs. Also his prices are high and there have been revisions between his first runs and the current ones that make the new ones less wobbly.

I live in a place where no one locks their door.

Question, guys. I love typing on my chiclet ThinkPad x121e, its excellent and solid. What is the Cherry switch equivalent to this keyboard? I have no idea what mechanical switches are like to type on because I've never been with one in person. I suspect I'd either like blues or browns. The thing is though, after using laptops for many years, the idea of pushing down large key caps seems strange to me, it feels like it wouldn't be as nice to type on and run your fingers over.

Anyone else have these feelings after using something similar to what I'm using now before moving to a mechanical keyboard?

The keyboard is the best thing about this machine. If I can find a keyboard alone which is better than this then I can detach myself from this thing and even use it in a docked configuration, seeing as the trackpoint is buggy as fuck and the trackpad isn't amazing.

There are low profile mechanical switches made by cherry that are similar to chiclet, but they suck ass. The clones made by gateron and kailh feel much better, but right now you can only buy the switches. There are keyboards coming out with those switches by the end of this year, or you can buy a set of them and build your own keyboard like a gh60

Dumb question, but what is that knob thing next to your keyboard?

I have a Noppo choc mini and it's the perfect board for me, I love it. It's my second one. Few things:
I'm getting bad key chatter. Can't RMA the thing, I'd be with out for way too long. I have a small software util that minimizes it but when I use it I sometimes don't get key registers in games and that's a massive problem.
It doesn't have a standard space bar I don't think. Anyway I can get a custom keycap set?

most EZ way to find FN + Function key to volume up/down and other media keys?

>>59107151
there are Ducky keyboards that have something like that, but on an Fn layer so that you don't need to hit Fn + Function key. Instead you just hit the key that the media key is bound too. Of course this is programmable so so you can bind them to almost any key on the keyboard. With mine I bound them all to the number pad

What switch type should I get?

I don't play that much games anymore (maybe 3-4h a week, and 4-5 on a good weekend), don't really type that much in my home. Mostly lurking and fapping these days, so browns I'm thinking?

Any suggestions for a simple black, full sized mechanical keyboard, a simple white backlight (adjustable would be nice), and a sort of quiet switch?

Suddenly the screen wakes up and there is lots of "///////////////////" in the password field. Is there anything I can do about it or should I throw it out?

>>59114019
Well the sound of bottoming out is louder then the actuating mechanism of the switch. That is why a razer keyboard with browns is louder then a filco with blues. You can make it quieter by not buying a keyboard with a floating design like razer, using thick dense keycaps and some o rings to lower the sound of bottoming out. All those other switches listed are still a great choice

Country would be France.
The keyboards you proposed don't really match my taste but that's okay.
I was expecting more of a V60 Mini type of keyboard if that makes sense.
And I know that < 80$ is a price tag that isn't great to buy a mechanical keyboard but if I can I'll just put more money into it.

I switched from membranes to MX-Red, difference was day and night, also no more wrist pain :).
Cheap ass boards have the same switches as expensive boards, just get the cheapest board with the switch of your liking.

Which one are you talking about ?
Got any link for me to check out ?
If you're thinking about just ordering a board and doing the rest from scratch I'm too much of a noob to do that myself.

then get a gh60 if you want something like a v60

The smaller the board, the more expensive it gets
usually.

Have tried looking on Amazon (I don't know french but there are lots of keyboards on German and British)

cherry makes mechanical keyboards for cheap. They're like 60-70 bucks

Just get the cheapest one with the switch that you want.
