I fell for the Unicomp meme, loving every minute.

This is a nice, solid KB. Kinda heavy. What I like the best though is that it's made right her in the USA. The keystrokes aren't as heavy as I was expecting either.

This KB harkens back to the office days of hard-ass black Folgers coffee, carbon copy forms, and crisp starched white dress shirts.

Finally got my whitefox in, ~4 months over the drop date (Dec drop closed, March ship date, July delivery).

And the keys aren't white, they're this yellowish off-white (maybe something like ivory?). It's not really noticeable on the keyboard itself (the aluminium helps), but when compared to the spare key tray or a keyboard with actual white caps? Noticeable as crap.

If you're thinking about a whitefox, be prepared to wait and double-check your order for quality.

Following up with a quick photo. It's night here and the overhead lights are so yellow it actually makes the whitefox keys look acceptable, so I'm using a white flashlight. Not the best pic, but it should get the point across.

The keyboard in the back is a still sealed Whitefox, and the keyboard in front is a Varmilo VA87MR. The keys on the Varmilo are the spare Whitefox keycaps from the tray in the bottom of the box, since I don't want to unseal the actual keyboard in case I need to send it back.

programmable 65-75% keyboard. most boards are either more expensive (winkeyless, 22mini, redscarf), not the same amount of buttons (clueboard) or not programmable (leopold, varmilo, magicforce)
>>
>>55711439

Good question. At the time, 65% boards were pretty uncommon, and this one came in a bunch of layouts (5 IIRC) and pretty much all the MX compatible switches as options. Add on a full metal plate and base (aluminium), programmable controller, and (supposedly) high-quality caps, all done by matt3o (same guy who made granite, so a trusted figure) without the price of a korean custom - it was an attractive combination.

I have it and love it.

I'm sure most of the thread will look down on it because it's gamer trash, but I like the feel of the Romer-Gs. I think they're a good balance between typing and games, and they've got an sort of friction feel to them that I like quite a bit.

RGB lighting in a keyboard that's otherwise pretty understated is nice, too. I use Aurora and have it set to show CPU and RAM usage on the F-key and N-key rows.

I'm considering on getting a better keyboard for my job. They use these shitty hp keyboards, and the one they gave me is pretty old and some of the keys get stuck.

I'm a first time buyer, and I've been considering getting brown cherrys, since I'll use it exclusively for typing.

The model I'm considering is the WASD v2, because it's uncompromising and can be ordered with dampeners (I don't want to annoy my co-workers each time I type). But $150/$180 seems like a lot for a fist buy.
Any other recommended keyboards? How good are the browns for a first time user?

it's not metal, it's clear plastic.

pok3r keyboards come with pbt caps, but i'm not a fan of 60%
>>
>>55717313

Browns are pretty good for a first timer (it's pretty much tied with reds for popularity), but the WASD v2 dampeners are really just o-rings on the keycap stem. You can do it yourself cheap with time and patience.

If you don't need a numpad (TKL - tenkeyless for better search results), you can further drop the price to around $100, or less if it's on sale.
>>
>>55718075
Oh.
Yeah, transparent plastic makes more sense, sorry.
>60%
Not a fan either
Well, if I can't get PBT, I'll have to settle for ABS for now.

Which one do you recommend between these?
Filco Majestouch 2
WASD v2

If you happen to be browsing these forums; DO NOT do this. These keyboards are nice and all, but don't bring them in public places
>>
>>55718171
Yeah, I was thinking of doing that, too.
I guess I could order some from amazon.
I also rarely use the numpad, thanks for the advice, I'll consider the TKL.

You know if the CODE version of the WASD is worth it? the price is more or less the same, and it comes with clears or browns for the same price.
The Filco Majestouch also looks good, probably a tad cheaper too.
Any experience with either?
I just want a durable nice keyboard that isn't too tacky for long comfy coding sessions.

A used G81-3015HAR (same layout/legends, but with a slightly different tone of keycaps which are less desirable) with no box sold for $850 in a private sale.

You cannot go by an ebay sale from 2011, which is the only example of one selling publicly; prices have gone up a lot since then.

But then you're still too poor to buy a black badge for it anon.
>>55720142
Good luck getting some decent keyboards once you stop being a poorfag

>>55719641

>>55720202
I'll stick some on ebay at some point. They are full sized badges, (not ssk)

Why are you even here if you don't appreciate vintage rare keyboards?

Can you buy standalone Novatouch switches anywhere? I don't like the case, but Topre switches with Cherry compatibility... hnngh

I guess I can gut a Novatouch if need be, but I'd prefer to just buy switches.
>>
>>55720388
That's not how Topre works.
>>
>>55720388
you mean the sliders?

they won't sell them separate
>>
>>55720415
Well, obviously, but the new bluetooth HHKB with Cherry caps would very nearly be my ideal traveling board.

>>55720419
That's what I feared. Thanks. I guess I'm stuck with buying a Novatouch and doing some surgery.
>>
>>55720279
I only hope i can be as loaded and well armed as you one day

Main difference is the CODE has backlighting, a white plate, and LED indicators of the lock keys. That's it really.

Filco, Ducky, Leopold - can't go wrong with them. All are decently solid and built well for starting. If you want more weight, and don't mind the price too much, the KUL-ES series is a good entry (it's about twice the weight of my Varmilo).

Others: Corsair, KBParadise, KUL, Varmilo, CoolerMaster, any really. Many of your choices are going to be quite similar, so unless you really go looking, you're not going to get a really bad one.

Thanks for letting me know. I actually refrained from picking one up here because I couldn't find anything interesting enough to warrant the expense. Though I have a Tada68 coming in August anyway.
