They look thin, but the look of them alone are tempting me since I fell for the RGB meme with zero regrets.

Rate my newest purchase: the logitech G413 with the Romer-G switches.
I'm coming from a Model M, and this thing is fucking fantastic. Travel is very short, and activation is even shorter. I can type like the wind now.

Also, what's a good palm rest for something like this?

I've always loved the mechanical switch design BUT i never liked the old IBM/Win98 keyboard caps design with narrow mini surfaces. I used to own pic related and loved the typing surface and travel distance/actuation of the scissors but absolutely hate the reliability.

Question is simple, is there something that features large typing surface but instead of scissors key it's a mech ? Billion thanks in advance. Using a MS sculpt mobile now and i love the flat surface but it's bt based connection.

I've got the G810 with the Romer switches and I love it. The keys feels nice to press, there's very little gamer stuff and the RGB stuff is pretty nice to tune and fuck around with. Only thing I don't like is the lack of a wrist rest, am still trying to find a comfortable position for my wrists when typing with it.

That being said I tried a Corsair K70 the other week with Cherry Reds and really liked it to the point where I was on the verge of getting one but I just can't see the point if I already enjoy using my G810

>unreplacable
But they are replaceable.
I got a whole pack of replacement caps with my G413 along with a little tool for removing them.

As for the ABS plastic thing, I'm coming from a Model M which is PBT, and the feel is very similar to me.
The feel of the keys was one of the first things I noticed.
Logitech's ABS keys feel nothing like the rubber-dome keyboards I have laying around.

Maybe this is just a coating that will wear off, but as you can tell from pic, the caps are very simple in construction, so I'm sure custom caps will come along at some point.
Right?

>>61790810
Actually newer to mechanical keyboards myself, I've always been rough on keyboards and eventually wear down the rubber domes constantly. I was wondering how well they last, and which switchtype to invest in?

>>61802445
The beauty of mechanical switches is that they tend to last forever. Notice how many people in this community use IBM boards from decades ago.

I suggest Gateron Brown switches.

How hard is it to desolder a board and do I need any special equipment?

I want to get a Minila Air, but red switches are all that's available here and I wanna swap them for silent blacks since it's gonna be portable and all.

>>61802103
>Right?
Wrong. The market of people who both buy logitech keyboards AND buy aftermarket keycaps is small enough that nobody will ever bother.

The construction isn't revolutionary in its simplicity, compared to e.g. cherry caps, and molds cost dozens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

>>61802103
Alps caps are just as simple and do you see them anywhere?

People make Cherry caps mostly because that's where the money is (Which prompts more people to buy Cherry-stem keyboards, which feeds demand for Cherry-stem keycaps, etc, etc).

Is this enjoypbt or kdbfans?

I think you'll have to indicate it with some arrows or something, but here's the whole thing. The red drawers are mostly screws, bottom right is random ICs and other random components. The stuff in the middle is a shitton of random stuff. There's motors that run straight off 230v AC, lenses, various connectors and I don't know what.
Bottom left is a bunch of resistors and the stuff I already mentioned.

>>61803833
The stuff in the drawers, about two hours, though there was also a lot of other stuff that's not in those that I collected at the time. How long it took the guy to whom it previously belonged to to collect all that stuff, I have no idea, presumably most of his career.

All the other stuff on and under my desk has piled up over the past two and a half years or so. The top of the desk is just the tip of the iceberg really, there's a ridiculous amount of trash under the desk.

I post keyboard in keyboard thread. How varied of motivation could I be? Why does anyone post a keyboard in a keyboard thread? Pride or critical solicitation.

Why don't people complain about any other individual who posts the same keyboard more than once ever? I've seen about 1/4 the keyboards in this thread before and greater than 3/4 of the ones in the last thread. Is there something about my images that makes them more memorable or recognizable? Seems a bit unfair to single me out imo.

Making a quasi-frame and stand for that monitor on the left, so that I can mount it in a vertical position and use it as my secondary once I move out. Other than that, a desk, larger than my current desk and with a rack of shelves so I can store all those drawers and whatever other tools I'll end up with. Furthermore, finishing that variable voltage power supply (accidentally got the wrong value potentiometer, now I have to wait for a 20k pot from china to arrive), and finding out what's wrong with that HDMI switch (it works fine, but gets powered from the connected devices rather than through the power cable, so that needs fixing). A motorized camera slider for a friend, and a really basic delay circuit for another friend.
My multimeter got fried recently (see that PCB with a battery attached to it), so I can't do much with electronics until I get a new one.

Also going to make a miniature groupbuy for really cheap numpads that I'll manufacture myself, but that's on hold for now as I'm too busy with all of the aforementioned.

The technician of the local university, I got it when someone I knew there retired. The technician had already retired and used to be under the jurisdiction of said person, so when he retired he took me along to help with take all the stuff he had accumulated, along with the stuff that the technician left.

Ridiculous. I find legs in knee socks, animal dildos, multiculturalism and hot glue figures offensive but I don't openly whine about such posts, I ignore or hide them like an adult. No one is forced to view or reply to any of my on topic posts. In fact, since people keep saying I post the same keyboard on the same desk every time, it should be eminently obvious from the thumbnail which posts are mine and therefore easier than most to ignore. Which I repeatedly and respectfully suggest.

Hi friends, noob here. I will fuck off soon after I ask my question.

I got $120 to toss on a keyboard, should I get Filco or WASD at that price? Something else? I just want a solid good quality board, don't care too much about decoratives.

>>61806674
I've been using as WASD keyboard for a couple of years now and it's been flawless.

Never used Filco though so I can't really compare.

I cut the PCB of the magicforce to shreds with a dremel, then I handwired the whole thing. Also turned an AEK II into a 60% with a case that I made from a solid block of wood. And I made a numpad to go with my tada68. My latest attempts in keyboard diy was 3D printing a whole keyboard (e.g. case and plate), which worked fine more or less, but the project is currently stuck in "I'll get to that when I'm done with all these other projects that I've been drowning myself in" limbo.
And I swapped out the switches on a quickfire tk, alas, that's probably the most boring of all I've done so far.

No, just some funky tweeter design.

What a strange Japanese keyboard layout. While some characters are in the correct position, others are not. In Japan, they use ISO keyboards and hiragana is laid out differently. Also, the position of +, -, | etc and corresponding hiragana are all "wrong."

Just looked up the source, enjoypbt, and it looks like something that someone came up to distribute hiragana onto an ANSI board.

What's funny is that once you learn japanese, you don't even use kana input. But the legends do look nice.

Anyway, an interesting keyboad layout.

I don't think I have any pictures of it, but yes, I cleaned up the wiring to the controller. It's currently in the possession of the friend for whom I made it.

Also, the 3D printed board I mentioned, in its current state.

>>61807133
My desoldering pump wasn't working properly, and I ended up with some pads getting ripped off. I could've probably fixed it just by checking how the PCB is layed out and with some wires, but I didn't have the experience I have now, not to mention I wanted to desolder all the switches, which would've probably resulted in more fucked pads. So I took a blade that spins at 35K RPM and did what I had to do.
It's fully programmable, but something kept fucking up, resulting in letters getting spammed, currently it's sitting under my desk. I'll fix it when I get the time.

The Pi needs around 2A though, and the HHKB already tortures 500mA USB ports. You'd be forced to use it only with high current ports.

>>61808588
why does the hhkb use so much current, is it a capacitive thing?

>>61808762
Capacitive boards are more power hungry than contact types (like 200mA for the HHKB vs 10mA for a Poker). A lot of the draw from the HHKB is caused by the hub in it, though. If you stick it on a high current port it'll draw upwards of 800mA.

My cherry mx black board came with two super light switches compared to the others. Returning isn't an option (I accidentslly wrecked the warranty sticker), so should I attempt to desolder and replace them or leave it as is?

Why did I fall for the SA meme? Sure, they may look pretty and feel sturdy when you first put your fingers on them, but the high curve means that any wobble will be amplified by an off-center keypress. They also just feel... slick. I'm not usually a greasy person but damn.

They're usually smoother which is better for most switches. Browns also have a slightly larger bump.

>'what's with the topre switch meme'
>implying i'm stating a fact
>implying a question is the same as a statement.

Just because you got offended when I said meme, doesn't prove I'm dissing anything.

>>61815475
Gateron Brown is widely considered miles better than MX Brown.
The rest is more debatable, especially the Gateron Blue, though most people appreciate the extra smoothness.
And then there's Zealio.

>tfw forced to use mac + mac keyboard and Mac mouse at work

HOW CAN THIS COST $159 when it's membrane garbage

>>61816100
People is willing to pay for it.

>>61816100
And why the fuck is it flat when it's a desktop keyboard?!

>>61816100
This, at my previous job I had to use those terrible mac chiclet keyboards and that awful mouse.
I asked them if I could bring my own keyboard and they said no.

Thoughts?

>buy clicky switches
>complain about sound
Don't tell me you believe the meme chart that told you mx browns are much louder.

>>61813960
Next time don't buy blue. Check to see if you can return it? I (personally) recommend browns if you want to feel the clickyness but without any actual sound. Browns have a soft d-tent feeling to them.

Anyone try those 65% magicforce board with gateron browns?
Are they any good? I need a compact board since I'll be dorming for grad school and I need it to be cheap cause im poor due to grad school.

Romer-G switches are quiet as shit, and there's a non-gaymer keyboard with them now. A lot of people don't like them though so be warned.

I just bought one a few days ago. It's a 35g topre clone. Most people think it's too light, but you can buy heavier domes for it if you want.

These kinds of board are the single most meme ever, no exceptions.

What's /mkg/'s opinion on LED backlit keyboards? I'm new here.

>>61817812
LEDs are only useful if you're over 65 years old, or have autism

>>61817812
If it's white LED, it's acceptable.
Other colors? Just no.

>>61817812
As long as you only use white/blue, it's fine.

I'd say at the peak it was somewhere around N2, though I have lost interest in Japanese after my trip to Japan, so I've just been progessively forgetting things. My grammar and understanding is still fine, but I feel like my vocabulary and knowledge of Kanji is slowly seeping away.

>>61817298
Or if anyone else has any recs for a cheap brown or blue board under 50 bucks that would be nice.
Just know about the magicforce from linus shill tips

don't really have a preference, only used membrane and cherry mx speed
>Layout
would rather ISO but not sure if characters are the same or if it varies from country. I speak spanish and my clients want things in spanish so a spanish layout would be appreciated but if that just doesn't exist, well, ANSI then.

Yes sir (would like to avoid the RGB meme but not gonna lie, I like my LEDS in purple)

Corsair K65 rapidfire RGB.

Also, it'd be good if the color was silver or matte black, my case is a NZXT S340 razer but would like to get the phanteks enthoo evolv tempered shit

>>61818389
isn't a kb that tall uncomfortable?

>>61817340
What do you mean? Is this some sort of "browns are loud" meme?

>>61818845
also, forgot to say

I like the k65 but I make a lot of mistakes while typing, I think it has to do with the travel distance and the sensitivity of the cherry mx's


...Or, am I just being a fag?

are Kailh switches bad?, there are some good looking chink kbs in amazon but I have doubts.

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid with Cherry MX Red for 25€ used, is it worth ?
Mostly for gaming. (fps and moba)

I've been considering modding my noppoo choc mini with back lit LED caps white or blue of course.

This should be too difficult right? Just a soldering procedure?

>>61795057

Nah I like the keyboard myself and my gf likes to typeracer on it because of the splash effect when you type

Like the words of the great DSP, fuck the haters

>>61819157
model Ms?, whats that brand?

i want to get a tada68 with blues but i dont want it to be loud

its for typing and shit
very little gaming, WoW at most

am i sol and gonna have to get browns?

Just received a nearly unused Dolch PAC 64 with a keyboard in great condition.
Paid 150 bucks.
Did I do good?

>>61819521
I have a TADA with blues and browns. The blues aren't too loud desu, they're a bit higher pitched than cherries I think.

Gateron browns are pretty good though, so I don't see the harm in getting them.

Bought this little guy awhile back, no regrets. Cherry brown I believe as well. Love em

>Own CM Quickfire rapid
>3 years old, cleaned multiple times, no problems

>Buy Duckey red switch LED keyboard for $150
>Half the LEDs break after cleaning, cant clean the entire keyboard because of the shitty design

Im never buying Duckshit again, are WASD keyboards are good choice for my next mech? Im looking at buying a full size red switch keyboard.

Im located in Canada, if that makes any difference.

>>61819560
Dang. And here I thought they were over priced back when they were 80 bucks. Why have the prices gone up so much? It used to be for 200-250 bucks you can get a working system and play Doom on it.

>>61819798
it's a working system, in next to perfect condition. Also I'm from germany, where there aren't that many, contrary to the US

>>61819708
Is this a common problem with Duckys?

>Im located in Canada
Sorry.

>>61819016
Boxes and speeds are apparently pretty good.

>two separate sets of contacts
Either the debounce is latency/10 or you can look forward to extreme chatter as the switches wear.

>>61819766
ok but it looks like an 80's kb and my system looks modern, any other recommendation?

>>61820875
Nope. All the good mechanical switches were made in the 80s. All whats left today is cheap chink shit

>>61820736
I'll let you know when one of those happens on my G910.
