alright so i just replaced the switches in my keyboard and all of the keys work perfectly except for backspace

when i press backspace it presses
backspace
\
home
delete
end
pgdn
pgup
and all of the arrow keys

what the fuck do i do?

here are my options

buy a corsair k70 with blue or reds or browns
buy cm quickfire browns only
buy some god knows what brands with any switch and way cheaper

>>55767514
please no racial slurs

>>55767589
see if you accidentally connected any lines on the PCB

reflow the solder on the backspace, then take it out all together if still no luck

I would like to buy model M in Poland and I am pretty clueless. Is it that much meme keyboard? Personally, I find the layout of the keyboard to be great and I used to work on various "clones" with such designs.

Questions:
- It is quite a challenge to find English-layout keyboard in Polish auctions / craigslist-like sites. Any fellow anons from Poland has some own experiences with obtaining it?
- What is the price I should not cross? I am looking for prices and they are very different. For instance on UK site there is 100 pounds, while on US amazon its 100 dollars.
- I guess the shipping is part I need to simply deal with it.

>>55767757
Just buy one and spend whatever it takes on one. They're better than the rest of the junk posted here.

>>55767638
yeah i had to mcgyver one of the switches and that must have been what fucked it up

ill do that shit later thanks for the help man

how are reds? should i get them as first switch? Blues seem too loud/annoying. Browns are universally shit. The rest seem have high actuation force which is probably bad for video games.

>>55767879
heavy switches are only bad for games if you have baby fingers

>>55767892
I do thanks for noticing.

>>55767912

they're fine, literally typing on one right now, but they're not the end all by far. buckling springs aren't objectively the best switch type, and i don't care how "well built" these are, when was the last time you broke a keyboard?

>>55768726
One of the new ones?
They're a bit pricey compared to some on ebay
I really don't have a lot of money

>>55768752
You can find them on eBay too. New USB ones are $85 and don't require adapters or have issues.
Plus it pays the people who are still making buckling springs instead of randoms. Search thrift stores for model Ms, alternatively

>>55768875
that's what i figured but you never know
>>55768800
I have $56 and found some on ebay that fit that budget, though they might need a cleaning but that's free
I already have an adapter as well

>>55768857
>not even white square

if you're gonna be a meme at least do it properly

>>55768902

make sure it's a ps/2 board and not a terminal board otherwise you're going to need an adapter you probably don't have

>about Model M
Some of them are manufactured by Lexmark. Any technical difference?

>>55768946
yeah the ones i'm looking at aren't
the terminal boards are fucking big anyways. all those extra function keys and shit

>>55767514
are you referring to your keyboards as niggers due to them being a darker shade than they should or us as the niggers for not being stupid enough to overpay for outdated technology

>>55769002

The 1986 model ms are the best feeling. The rest are basically identical.

>>55768952
>>55769355
I've heard that some of the Lexmark ones are lower quality but idk
They should function the same just google the model number

>tfw not only comfy, but cozy as well

>>55769403
Some of the later Lexmarks had permanently attached cables but the internals were mostly the same. The decent Lexmarks were just as good, they got bad rep for also producing quiet versions (greased spring and rubber domes) but as long as you look up the model number and it checks out as buckling spring you're good to go

>>55768362
I also got one recently, but do you feel like the enter key feels a bit off?

>>55769355
>>55769403
Anyway, according to prices and shipping, that will be up to 200$ to spend (100$ keyboard, 100$ shipping).

hi i never posted in thread like this
so i wanted ask
can i replace my razer blackwidow( the first one) keycaps with something more swag?

>>55770989
the blackwidow's bottom row is non standard so most keycap sets won't fill it completely

as long as the set is mx switch compatible they will work besides that

but you should sell your blackwidow and buy something at least decent anyway

>>55771075
no one want this old crap hahahah

>>55771103
you could get some money for it atleast im sure like 40$ probably

I just bought a KB v60 and the key binds are weird. I see there's settings switches on the back of it, but there's no markings as to what they are. I got it used so there was no manual. Does anyone have a link that could help me out?

Anyone have a review of Gateron Browns?

I'm mainly concerned with longer term functionality - are they known for not breaking down over extended use?

>>55774486
they haven't been around long enough for extended use to be a thing

i don't think anyone's ever reported serious switch breaking though. the only build issue with gaterons seems to be that they wobble a bit more than cherry switches.

>>55774486
they should outlive you, and will last much longer than the rest of the board unless you fuck them up

>>55770422

Depends on what's broken. If it's the circuit membrane, you're kinda screwed. If it's the switch, should be kinda simple.

If you need help with what to do, go search for "Care and Feeding of an IBM Model M"

>>55774511

How long have they been around? If I can get 5-10 years I won't complain much.

>>55774521

Haven't had a cherry fail on me yet - but I'm creepin over 100m keystrokes across two boards so far.

Don't get me wrong, the Model M is a classic and a fine KB. But for my money, I'd rather have a Unicomp. Brand new, takes up less space than an original one, and made in America.

>see those shit keycaps

i hope you bought that board because it was cheaper than the other ones and you plan to replace the keycaps

I can't fucking decide
Either I'm going with a 80€ Corsair K65 or a CM Storm Novatouch for around double the price.
I've had reds before and really liked them but after looking up sound comparisons on youtube Topre switches just seem to have such an incredibly premium feel that's just worth experiencing, even for such a high price.
What's it gonna be /g/

>>55776773
What the fuck? They cost around 150$ in Germany...

>>55777923
Oh, you're in Europe.

>>55777876

>>55777923
Germany is a shithole when it comes to mechanical keyboards, fellow germanfag.
Müssen es denn unbedingt blue switches sein? Gibt nämlich das K65 von Corsair für 80€, super Verarbeitung und meiner Meinung nach sehr vernünftig designt, hat allerdings red switches.

>>55777937
Why not? From what I can tell there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Thoughts or experience on the Sentraq S60-X?

Planning on picking one up when the next drop comes round.

Which mechanical keyboards would /g/ recommend for a hairy guy? I obsessively clean my keyboard but it gets filled with hair under the keys and I'm looking for a model that's very easy to clean and where hair can't get trapped underneath too easily.

>>55779605
varmilo vb87m

it has semi floating keys and is wireless for easy cleaning

Well I've tried out two keyboards so far. With brown and blue switches. I didn't like either. Using those key tester things doesn't really give you the full experience. I bottom out because i'm a fag so the browns just felt weird. The blues even worse because I felt 3 things going on. I've decided to go with reds since I think they'll suit me the most since I can't help but bottom out. I would've considered topre but it's just out of my budget.

>>55780857
sounds like you should try mx clears, they're stiffer than browns with a more pronounced bump

>>55780857
>>55781004
I use Clears at work and I love them for typing. Great switch. Especially in a Pok3r.

>>55780040
Wireless is reliable? I have horrible experience with wireless devices and have stayed away from them for years.

Should I buy a white or black HHKB? Can't decide.

>>55782197

So, I thought Ducky was supposed to be a reputable company that had some quality control since the keyboards are so expensive

I was very wrong.

I bought a Ducky Shine 3 as my first and only mechanical, worked pretty well until 1/4 of the keyboard's LEDs randomly turned on and would not shut off.

I'm guessing there's some shoddy soldering somewhere in there or something, huge annoyance and I can't bring myself to pay for it to be repaired.

Also yes I know I'm a huge faggot for buying a backlit keyboard, won't make that mistake again.

did the board come like that or is it more recent?
im sure ducky should be able to fix it for little to no cost

>>55788081
Well I must just be unlucky then, the first time I saw it happen was at most a week or two after purchase. But it went away for at least a year or 2 before it popped up again and remained as I mentioned here: >>55788071

I'll try sending an email to their support to see what they have to say I guess.

>>55787361
If I remember correctly, those old KeyTronics are rubber dome. However, they are regarded as a very good rubber dome. Pop off a keycap and take a look. How does it feel to type on?

>>55782375
Yeah, only buckling spring are worth buying, even for fun.

>>55787565
Sounds more like there's something shorting out things or like a firmware issue. Consider opening your keyboard and cleaning the PCB with some isopropyl alcohol.

Ducky makes good keyboards, but their strategy is actually to invest less in QC and to invest more in customer support instead. They're known for having absolutely amazing customer support in Taiwan, which is where they are located.

If you're outside of Taiwan, good luck I guess, hopefully they'll do something nice for you.

They're not super ultra white, no. Gateron ghost white are whiter.

Yeah, but the caps I received had this yellow/ivory tint that is apparently ok. Was a bit concerned that they had rushed production because I received mine a few days before round 2 went live.

That Ducky in the background has MX Browns and the stock caps are pretty thin. I did have another set of caps on it that were really thin. I also tried that super thin set on the Gaterons and it was pretty meh. That's about as close as I've gotten lol. I was recommended Gateron Blacks with thick caps over MX Blacks and Gateron Clears tho

>>55792478
well gateron clears are mad light so that would explain that
everyone says gateron blacks are better than mx blacks in terms of smoothness but i think gateron blacks are also lighter so im scared that with thick keycaps they'll become too light
i like the weight of blues but theyre annoying and not linear(master switch type)

I'd like a new keyboard, open to suggestions. Unicomp keyboards look great in terms of aesthetic but I need higher than 2 key rollover. Das Ultimate seems OK except for the glossy plastic. Template below:

Budget: Up to 170 USD/230 AUD. Lower is always fine of course but for something exceptional I'll pay a premium
Location: Australia, can order most things from Amazon though
Preferred switch: Blue
Layout: ANSI
Form: 100%
Backlight: No
Previous/Current keyboard: K60 red switches

I'd like something more enjoyable to type on than what I have now with nice build quality that'll last a while. Nothing that looks like >>55768017 please, I don't want to be distracted by glowing LEDS or colours everywhere.

>>55793047
just buy a Filco

>>55793047
I went from a k60 reds -> k70 blues -> Pok3r blues.

If you want a metal frame, smaller size, and a even more tacticle and solid feel, go with the pok3r. I'm surprised how much better it feels than the k70, and I still love that keyboard.

>>55793062
Thanks for this, looks like a decent brand. Do you recommend any particular model or is it down to personal preference with all of them being good?

Careful with filco, their plastic is really sensitive to cleaners and oils. Can't just rub them down with iso like any other plastic.

>>55768346

>>55793346
because your port probably can't supply enough power for it

use an active converter like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BSJFJS/

>>55793363

>>55793363
you can't buy anything with that level of customization at that price
obviously the downfall of that is complete shit quality
SA offers nice keycaps but the majority of their keycaps are only done through groupbuys so you have to be in the right place at the right time and are somewhat price ~$100
GMK is also another popular manufacturer with considerably better quality but also at a higher price ($80 is the cheapest i've ever seen and also happens to be available to get rn)
Gateron keycaps are probably the best keycaps for value because not only are they about as thick as GMK(actually might be thicker) they are made out of PBT which doesn't shine as fast as ABS
actually i dont know anyone with shiny PBT you gotta have some nasty oily hands/never wash your hands to make that happen
issue is gateron/enjoyPBT is relatively ugly and bland

I'd still try one of these, they're cheap enough. Unless it's an older computer, most Ms draw more power than newer ports can handle.

I want to get a mechanical keyboard for the first time to play fps games and work on the desktop. Is a Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Rapid-i with brown switches a good starting point? I can get it for 109€ at a local store and the keyboard has italian layout, which is great since I'm italian. Thanks in advance!

>>55794366
Not really, I wouldn't recommend browns or italian layout.

>>55794382
> italian layout
It's good to me, since I'm italian. What is wrong with italian layout?
> brown switches
Ok what would you recommend then? Other models that caught my interest were the Topop (45€) and the VicTsing (39 €), both of them having Cherry blue switches and being tenkeyless. They have american layout though, which I'm not very familiar with. I don't want a full sized keyboard, since I'm not going to use the numpad anyways and I think that I'd probably have a more comfortable position when playing with the mouse on a tenkeyless keyboard.

>>55794438
>What is wrong with italian layout?
The moment you decide that you want some aftermarket keycaps that aren't as shit as the stock keycaps that almost every keyboard comes with, you will curse yourself for using ISO.

Browns are the shittiest of cherry switches. If you want something just as light, get reds. Otherwise blues, clears, greens or whatever else floats your boat, just don't get browns.

>>55794463
Thank for the reply. I find your statement against browns a bit puzzling to be honest, because I'm sure that I heard many people say that browns are a very good compromise for both gaming and working.

>>55794480
That's pure marketing. No matter what you use it for, they will always feel like rougher MX reds when you get up to speed.

>>55794480
>because I'm sure that I heard many people say that browns are a very good compromise for both gaming and working
there's no such thing as a "best" switch for gaymen or for typing. That's marketing bullshit that for some reason still keeps getting propagated by people who have no idea what they're talking about.

Browns feel like reds with dirt in them, they may seem tactile if you slowly press the key down, but as soon as you actually build up any speed and momentum when typing they'll just feel like linears with shit stuck in the middle.

>>55769002
>overpay for outdated technology
They almost all still work the same way a new keyboard does after 20+ years. Do you know what the word outdated means anon?

>>55794514
>>55794495
Ok thank you. Then I should look into a mech keyboard with red switches? Do you have any brand/model you can recommend? Most of the keyboards I checked on the net have either blue switches or brown switches...

>>55794535
I'd recommend getting a switch tester and checking what suits your tastes. There's plenty of chink keyboards that provide quite good value for the price, if you want a more reputable brand, look for cooler master or ducky. Cooler master makes good bang for the buck keyboards, ducky makes a bit more expensive and somewhat fancier keyboards.

Other than that there's also a ton of other good brands out there, one being the KUL that the other anon just posted. If you tell us your budget we can recommend you something that fits it.

>>55794582
>>55794564
Thank you. I don't have any limit on budget to be honest, what I'm looking for is mainly a keyboard that is durable and reliable over extended time of usage for both gaming and working. I'm looking for a keyboard with caps having low resistance to pressure. Since it's my first mech keyboard, I'm searching for something below 150€. I heard great things about Filco's keyboards, but I don't know if spending that much money for the first keyboard would be a wise investment (here they range from 130€ up to 200€). I checked some eu sites for the Kul ES 87 and so far I've found one dutch site where tbe Kul es 87 with red switches is worth 145€.

>>55794689
I was checking some keyboards on the net when I stumbled across this: http://www.drako.it/drako_catalog/product_info.php?products_id=17747

Is Ozone a good brand?

>>55794689
the kul is supposed to be a good value proposition
realistically if you buy a proper board such as a filco or KUL you should never have to replace it unless you get the mental illness most of us have and begin to buy a board like anything with topre or begin on custom boards
>>55794829
it seems to be a subpar board

>>55794938
Ok thank you. Are red switches also good for standard typing? I'm going to see if I can get a KUL for a lower price.

>>55795015
really you can't go wrong with any switch
the only bad one is browns theyre trash in all respects
if you haven't owned a mechanical keyboard before the most seamless transition would be most likely into mx reds or gateron blacks
mx blacks are most likely too heavy and gateron reds are most likely too light

My sister wants to buy me good keyboard for birthday and I don't want her to spend too much on it, but I don't want some shit tier keyboard either. Been looking into getting mechanical for some time now, I'm studying programming and play a lot, but I'd rather avoid gaymer gear

>Budget
Around $70 I'd say, $100 is absolute max, but generally the cheaper the better.
>Location
Poland, so finding good used one will be a lot harder.
>Preferred switch type
Tactile, rather quiet than clicky, I don't want to wake anyone in house. I liked MX Brown when I tested it at friends' place, but I didn't try other switches so I don't have any experience.
>Layout
ANSI, the main reason is longer left shift, but I heard this can be fixed in ISO
>Form factor
Would prefer 100% with numpad, but 80% is fine too.

>>55793479
Not sure if it will work. I can get pic related in my town (about 10-15RON or so) but I don't think it will work. I installed resistors on the data and clock line,like in this guide - http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/keyboard/modify_keyboard/Model_M_Modifications.html (4.7k 5%) but to no help.

If anyone worked inside one of these (PCB wise) and if this helps,the wires of my PS/2 cable I used are 5v for red and black for GND. There are two wires,yellow and white,that I can't find out which is clock and which is data.

BTW,I found out that my Model M is a Dutch version and it uses rubber domes (enclosed in some black thingy that covers whole keyboard without case) instead of buckling springs. Is it still worth saving?

>>55795068
Ok thank you. I'm falling in love with the Filco Majestouch 2 MX red, but unfortunately it doesn't have italian layout and it costs around 208€ on Amazon.it.

>>55795141
That shit works pretty good and could help with the power issue, but be warned, for some reason these white generic ones reset the keyboard every nth keystrokes.

I'd recommend getting the black Belkin ones, they don't exhibit this behavior.

I think it's a matter of the PS/2 port being an afterthought on most boards. My high-end X99 board doesn't work with the native port, but my older win95 machine does all day.

>>55795141
That looks like a passive adapter, which definitely won't work. Try to find some active adapter like the blue cube I linked, they're sold internationally under different OEMs.

Dutch versions are definitely worth saving, it just won't fetch as much as the BS variants.

Yeah,but my computer doesn't have a top tier board either. (in fact,it's a ASUS P5LD2 w/ P4 HT 3.2GHz) And I also tried on a older (socket 478,Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000) board and same effect.

Those keycaps are an unusual color (maybe it's just the pic). What's the model number for the board? I might be able to get a diagram for the controller.

>>55795441

The pics of theese look just like the buckling spring models. Do you have a pic with the keycap taken off?

Mine doesn't have keycaps,nor buckling springs. They're simple keys,like those you find on generic keyboards,so no keycaps at all.

>>55795583

The keys come right off even on the one piece version. Are there discrete domes under each one? That's a pretty unusual version if so.

My friend has found old Compaq RT101 in his garage. Apparently it's rubberdrome, but some fags on reddit say old dome is better than new ones. Is he right? Does it have any value?

Just what I'm most comfortable with

Dremel the stems out, sacrifice some shitty keycaps and superglue stems on the right place. I did with my keycool and it works just fine.

Hello. Where can I buy keycaps for my varmilo keyboard besides mass drop? Do they supply to any actual vendors or have a website of their own?

Alright /mkg/ I'm in the market for my first mechanical keyboard. I've never typed or gamed on one before so I don't know exactly what I want, but I'll start with some basic criteria.
>Budget
About $125
>Location (continent at least)
Western US
>Preferred switch type
I'm leaning towards MX Brown, but I actually have no idea. It needs to be fairly quiet so my girlfriend doesn't get pissed at my new purchase.
>Layout
I want full keyboard with funtion keys and numpad.
>Backlight
Yes. This is a must. Frequently use in the dark.
>Previous/current keyboards
Current keyboard is my laptop Steelseries which I quite like as far as laptops go. Going to be using an external monitor from now on so I need to close my laptop thus need an external keyboard.

Anything else I can say that would help?

>>55799560
You dont need varmilo caps for a varmilo board. It has standard ANSI layout, pretty much every set out there will fit.

I know I'm going to be shat on for this, but I'm new so what the hell.

I'm looking at this Corsair keyboard on Amazon and it looks pretty nice. I know I'm paying for the name but I honestly don't give much of a fuck, it's within my price range.

>>55799636
But assuming I wanted varmilo keycaps is there a way to get them

>>55795200
nice picture, even if a little pintresty

>>55799745
They used to sell directly from their email [email protected] but it seems the qt3.14 chink salesgirl quit and now nobody at varmilo speaks english.

You can get some at ebay or aliexpress tho, but not for cheap.

No shame in being new, why do you need a load though? Get a tkl if you don't use it much, you'll thank yourself later.

Not a big fan of exposed key switches personally but if it works for you then ok

Probably a good first board, hope you like it

we should just change the sticky to:
STOP
BUYING
GAYMER
BRANDS

I forgot where I was.

I just got a pok3r with clear switches.
What should I do with it?

>>55801316
Don't press any of the keys, ever.

That's why there's so few of them, so there's less chance of you pressing them.

Ansi poker II, reds, used
vs
Iso/Ansi filco majestouch 2 tkl, reds, new

I. can't. decide.
I rarely ever use the arrow keys or page down/etc but I do use the F keys sometimes.
I'm also ISO user and don't know if the switch is worth it.

Want to move from my blackwidow ultimate with mx blues...

>>55801555
Get the poker. Embrace the 60%.

if only it had the silver on black emblem

>>55801949
did yours smell like weed too? did not expect that when I opened up the package, but I kekd.

Here is my request :

>Budget : cheapest (40~50)
>Location : France
>Preferred switch type : anything with feedback
>Layout : ISO
>Form factor : >>55795200 + 4 Arrows + Del key
>Backlight : would be nice
>Previous/current keyboards : Dell KB and laptop KB

>>55803402
triple that budget and you might have a chance to get something like that

holy shit the solenoid is loud

Should I buy a gateway 2000 keyboard for like $2?

>>55803475

Maybe something similar to this : https://www.keychatter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/keychatter_2015-12-11_15-43-11-679x350.jpg

?

>>55804235
yes those would be perfect but the only board in EU I know of with this factor are the noppoo choc mini and the filco minila
The noppoo has shitty fake switches (for the money) and the minila has that disgusting tiny spacebar.
I think I will go the safe route and go with filco majestouch 2 ninja ISo (yes with the nice big ass enter)

Anyone know where I could try out a 60% keyboard? There's one on massdrop that has a week left and I kinda want it but I'd like to test drive one first.

What's the best website to buy keycaps?

just got pic related in the mail. while it was shipping i was looking for custom keycap sets for 75% keyboards but couldn't come across any. kindly asking for help because the font is ugly as fuck

>>55805964
try going to your local computer store and see if they have any keyboards on display . thats probably your best shot

>>55803844
BOINK

>>55806443
I don't know if we have anything other than fucking Best Buy here, just moved to a new city

>>55806547
canada or us or uk?. if your canada try google searching canada computers. although they im pretty sure they dont carry any 60% keyboards

>>55806379
bump

>>55806564
US, Wisconsin if it helps

>>55806613
look for keysets with 1800 kits.

You can also just buy a DSA TKL kit, should have enough keys to feed the board, plus it's all flat so profiles don't matter

>>55806613
You essentially need a TKL set of keys plus

* A 1.75u right shift
* A row 1 end
* A row 2 page down
* A row 3 page up

>>55806749
sorry they're not called 1800 kits, Donno why I said that

Wish I could but I'm not with it atm, but yeah, it has a sorta mechanical feel, but not that sound/true feel.

I might head over and grab it this weekend, as I'm gonna be probably getting this retro unit, pic related

>>55782197
I was on the fence too and I bought both, sent the black one back. I prefer the printed keycaps, especially because the layout is a little unusual to learn. The print on the black is super hard to read, and ultimately, I just liked the white better. White is sharp, you'll like it.

>>55783684
this. Love my some Blues.
