You should avoid it because you can get a new full size buckling spring keyboard for $50 less, which will have better switches and better caps.

I ordered a barebones NT and stuck on some PBTs. Upstroke is definitely noticable but noise-wise overall, it's an improvement over the MX Browns I had before. Stabilized keys are a bit rattly, but they're less noisy than unlubed Costars.

Hi friends, I've been using vintage Apple mechs for a few years, but I want to get an MX compatible ~60% board. I'm used to the heavy tactile feel of alps switches and I want to get a cheap ass new board, so I don't know what to do. I'm looking at the MagicForce 68 with either Outemu blacks or browns, or the Royal Kludge with blues. I don't love blues, but it is a true 60%. Any recommendations? I know there's a few alps users here who might have some ideas.
>>
>>56062326
I had browns before too. Can't really compare cherry and topre, but NT felt good for me only after i silenced and lubed everything i could.

Recently picked up an Adesso EasyTouch 635 open box and pretty beat up from Microcenter for $45. Everything works great, and I'm totally fine wit the fact that the keys are knock off Cherry's and not official Cherry Blue's. However, I HATE the keycaps. The font is atrocious and I can barely read some of the numbers.

Anyone have experience with Adesso's knock off switches and know whether I can use caps made for cherry switches on this? I'd like to order some normal looking keycaps, nothing super weird/fancy.

these are the options:

shine 4 - green/red switches

year of the goat edition - black/red/brown
zero - red switches
legend - blue switches

>>56065437
I actually like my browns because they're fairly quiet and quite light, but you may want something a bit heavier and/or more tactile (in which case, try to find clears).

If you like the YOTG's looks, check out the One. It's the same case but available with no backlighting and with no limited edition markup.

>shittier than reds/blacks?
Browns feel like reds with dirt in them. They're supposed to be tactile, but they barely are, and when you start typing with any kind of speed on them, they start feeling linear. Except for that tiny tactile bump, hence reds with dirt.

If you want something that's properly tactile and not noisy as shit, get clears.
Greens and blues are both clicky switches, they're the last thing you should be looking at if you want a quiet keyboard.

Looking for a suggestion on what to buy. Budget is cheapest one you can find. I live in Europe. Preferred switch type is black. ANSI layout. Form factor 100% or 80%. Don't care for LEDs, and my last keyboard is a random office keyboard I've used for like 10 years.

I did hook it up and program it with a teensy and it worked flawlessly for a good while but suddenly every time I boot my computer I would have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work. My troubleshooting led me to believe it was the teensy that needed to be replaced but I didn't want to put any more time or money into working on it. It was nice while it lasted though

The quickfire rapid is from a good OEM (costar) and has a standard layout.

The quickfire TK has sub-par build quality and has a non-standard as fuck bottom row. Don't buy it. I got mine from a friend for cheap and recently put gateron blacks in it (see >>56065358), and it's quite ok for what it is, but I wouldn't pay more than fifty bucks for this.

Opened up my I-500 to see if I could change the switches, have little to no idea what I'm doing.
Looks like the PCB is held to the faceplate by these rivets. They appear on the faceplate and under the board, and they don't act as a screw.
Tried the paperclip method to open up a switch from up top, but it didn't work (most likely my fault). I'm gonna consult my friend who's used those 60% TKL super ghost phantom gamer korea (south) diy kits, he has the tools to open this shit up.
I have a theory that the Tomoko/Topop/EasternTimes I-500 can be a sub-40USD customizable TKL board. If you can replace the switches, this thing might have potential.

Preparing for it. I still have a lot of time until I get my switches so now I'm making various projects to use them in. Planning to make a super comfy ergo keyboard (I'm kinda stuck at the moment as I don't know how to connect thumb area to the rest of backplate), a flat fairly portable one (pic related) and maybe a small macro board / numpad since I have 3 Arduinos to use (and a lot of switches coming). I only hope that cutting and bending the sheets won't be too expensive. Could use one of the Arduinos to fix my Zalman though (and make it support NKRO).

As for the pic related, I wonder if I should add 1x2 keys in the corners or just leave it since that place is a little uncomfy to press anyway. I suppose it won't hurt to have more keys.

well have you put any research into switches? my favorite are the blues, they're clicky and you can feel feed back when you type, the reds dont give you any feedback at all, but if you wanna play a lot of fps games and dont really care how it feels i guess go for the reds or browns.

>>56068135
Yeah it's the Novatouch. I did the mod suggested in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5mLerU1aX0

I just bought silicone and some leather hole punches. The reason I did this was because I really liked the sound of the HHKB Type S but couldn't justify the price and I like my arrow keys. I liked how clean the NT was and the price but the sound wasn't exactly right. I heard the landing pad mod reduced the tactile feedback of the switch but I enjoyed the sound after it. I ran across this guy in some random video suggesting to bypass the landing pads and do it yourself with the silicone. It's an extremely pleasant sound. And the rattle from the keys are gone.

This keyboard is good for keycaps as well as it's clean and the cherry hybrid switch allows for a ton of options. I'd go OEM profile though, and as another guy suggested, dyesub or double-shot.

But reviews on the realforce are legit. I don't think you could go wrong with that board either.
>>
>>56068249
Yes, I did research them, and honestly dislike blue's because of how loud they are, and I am mostly using it for gaming.

Preferably I would of gone with browns, but reds are fine.

What don't you like about your K90? Immediate thoughts are just a K70, but there might be reasons other than the macro keys. Also maybe Ducky Shine 4/5 or a CM board, but they don't have floating keys.

>>56070314
Gotta have F-keys on the numbers for me. As useful as they are, I don't mind Fn'ing them for a nicer-proportioned board.

I'd just go with a K70, there really isn't much on the market with floating keys that isn't Corsair.

You could take a look at Tesoro's Gram Spectrum, but I'm pretty sure that has media keys and volume control on Fn combinations rather than the dedicated keys on your K90.

Pic related, switches, USB cable, Arduino, backplate and case. Am I forgetting something? The IDC cables are for connecting two halves of a keyboard (I don't know how long I want it to be so I'm just ordering a few of them), the goldpins for connecting everything to Arduino after soldering so I won't have to solder the pins in tight space.


Also, does it matter if my matrix uses more inputs than outputs or the other way? I suppose it would be best to minimise the number of outputs and use interrupts for inputs.

>>56074826
interrupts? do you know how keyboard works?
>>
>>56075565
I sure do. I'm not an expert but I think I've read enough to say that know. When scanning a row (assuming rows correspond to outputs) instead of checking each input separately I want to enable interrupts for them. Shouldn't this be better than checking each column? I mean, if all of them are pressed it will turn out pretty much the same but otherwise there will be a negligible performance increase unless there is some overhead for interrupts.

It doesn't have to be amazing, but I'm currently using a non-mechanical and it's starting to give out.

>>
>>56075627
do you have a code sample with interrupts?
i'd like to know how this works
>>
>>56075777
Nah, haven't started coding yet. You could google them though. I don't remember exactly how to enable them (I've read about interrupts a long time ago, I remember these weren't complicated), but overall you just need to define a function that gets called when the condition (input high in this case) is met. In the function I'd refer to a key corresponding to the column number (constant and different for each interrupt function) and row (variable) and send its code. In the main loop I would only change the outputs' values (and update current row number) and appropriate functions would be called as required.
>>
>>56068252
It's a poker 3. Wasd sells them in collaboration with the vortex and the keycaps are fantastic for custom keys at that price. don't bother buying from vortex unless you plan on throwing the caps out and replacing them with another set
>>
>>56075295

>It was 0.01" thick. Surprisingly durable. I was reading reports of guys who ironed them and still were unsatisfied.
Yeah, because you just can't iron them the same, i had to rerone it like 8 times.
Well, at least it was cheaper than buying hypersphere rings.
Why didn't you lube stabilizers? It actually makes a huge difference.
I also lubed the switch housing where it connects to the plate so nothing is rattling.

How many of you use your keyboards with a laptop? I'm currently using a 5 year old Macbook Pro and a shitty Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 and I'm debating if I should get a laptop or something like the Pixel C or a 2 in 1 the next time I upgrade.

If I'm going to use my mechanical keyboard anyways then I don't really see the need to get a laptop if I'm not going to use the laptop keyboard that often. Or is there a way to just disable the laptop keyboard when the external keyboard is plugged in and putting the mech on top of the laptop keyboard?

Floating is the term you're looking for.

Don't go floating because it's "easier to clean". You still have masses of shit remaining, it's lazy, and it's much easier to just not eat over your board.

If you're desperate for floating keys, find something with Gaterons or something on Taobao or aliexpress. Reviews sometimes pop up here, on >>>/g/csg/, geekhack/reddit/deskthority and online. As it happens, I've included one below.

I'll assume USD, ANSI, TKL, any linear switch:

CM Storm (Any variant)
MagicForce 68 (This one does actually have floating keys)
Maybe a Ducky Zero
Used K70

I do this because my laptop has a retarded amerrican keyboard that doesn't have all the keys i'm used to, and i'm not gonna go out of my way to buy a replacement keyboard and replace it, not even sure if you can with this laptop, sometimes you can just turn off the keyboard driver, but other times you have to take the back of the laptop out and unplug the keyboard physically.

Or just carefully place your keyboard on top of your laptop to see if you can place it without pressing and keys.

I've decided on the CM Masterkeys Pro which I plan on ordering in a day or two, I just need to decide on the switches I want. I'm currently leaning toward the brown switches as I'm planning on using it for writing and some gaming. Still not completely decided yet.

So guys, Cherry MX reds or browns or whatever, what're your thoughts?

for 50 dollars you can get a whole set of double shot ABS key caps. My guess is that this is just a whole circle-jerk of autist who out bid each other on custom weirdly shaped key caps. Once someone decides to make their own caps and sell them for 20 bucks this whole market will crash.
Seriously how pays $1500 for a single cap

everything is a memeboard here, bit to answer your question the qc on rosewill keyboards isn't the best
>>
>>56082099
Nice to hear that it's not the normal thing to buy at least.
So they are all(in that thread) custom made?
I mean even the single color "basic" ones where like 80 bucks, the white one is at $162.
Some people should probably off themselves.
>>
>>56082136
Ah, I heard of USB port problems on the original 9000, but is the V2 any better or is the problem Rosewill itself?

There are actual caps there are legitimately rare with intricate designs and only a couple of them were made, but these prices outlandish for something someone can easily make such as a blank cap

Lol that skull one is worth 20 bucks, but what happens is that these are made in batches and people by them all up at once and then charge insane prices. Funny thing is someone bought a whole batch then began reselling them for $40 and people lost their shit at him because he didn't price them at $200

To DIY fans out there: how do you hold your cable so that your micro-controller doesn't get its socket ripped off when somebody pulls the cable too strong? In already-made keyboards the cables usually have a thicker part so that they can't be pulled from the case but I can only find generic cables.

Oh wait, I could make a hole first, pull the cable through, and then solder the plug onto it so the first thing that would be torn apart would be the plug, leaving the controller's socket in place. Is there a better way to do it?

Honestly that seems like TL;DR for something I'm mildly interested in. Mind summarizing?
The thing I get is that there are several forums for mechanical keyboards that are having some "fighting", pic related? There's also some keycap producers in the mix?

One thing is certain it seems like autism deluxe.

I are honestly just surprised that people where buying single keycaps for anything over $1.
Then when that other dude said that you would be banned for talking about some place where you could (supposedly) buy keycaps cheaper it sparked my interest.
Seriously though I don't know why I'm interested in this, since I don't really have a interest in mechanical keyboards and especially not keycaps for them.

Okay then simply put the mods on geekhack are assholes and the whole community is nothing but a circle jerk of elitists who shit on anyone who doesn't have a $200 keyboard. People who are too good for that site are banned and have all their posts that contain helpful tips deleted. One of them starts deskthority which has the best mk wiki on the whole planet (geekhacks wiki is non-existent). Then another person starts the mk sub reddit with the whole point of avoiding the geekhack community and of course no one wants to hang out with assholes so they go over to reedit. This of course means that geekhack is no longer the best place for mechanical keyboard discussion and that pisses them off. Also most of the group buys on that site are just scams. Not to mention all the mods who ban and doxx people for making fun of them

TL;DR
Geekhack is full of assholes and no one wants to be with them, but they refuse to accept that and ban anyone who disagrees with them

Also on a side note I some one was selling a keyboard that I wanted on GH, however he was selling it for double the price that it was on ebay. So I asked him to match the ebay offer and he said no.
The reason was "I'm a long term member and I take good care of my keyboards that is why they are worth that much." The problem was that the ebay sellers keyboard was in much better condition than his and when I brought it up he said that I'm a new member and know nothing about keyboards. His whole elitist attitude caused me to call him a faggot and that got me banned. A couple of days later some one on deskthority sold me that keyboard for half of what the ebay listing was.

>>56083648
Geekhack does have some really nice guides, however after I discovered deskthority whenever I have a question about really obscure keyboards I just pm someone there and get a really well written answer. I know it might not be for everyone but that what I like

I haven't used a mechanical keyboard since I was like 8-10 yo, so I was too young to even pay attention.

What's the difference in feel between mechanical keyboards compared to membrane keyboards? Are they softer? Or do they require more pressure? Any other differences?

I know different mechanical switches are different, and even some membrane keyboards are different from each other.
>>
>>56083949
If you were able to put enough effort into telling us your life story and typing out that question, than surely you should be able to use Google.
>>
>>56083949
Personally I think that my logitech k120 (rubber dome) feels better than most of these chink knock of switches. Now Mechanical keyboards like membranes come in many different shapes and sizes while I can't go into to much detail I recommend you checkout this wiki https://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:List_of_all_keyboard_switches
that's basically a summery of every switch in existence
>>
>>56084004
Google can't answer questions of that nature in my experience.

>>56084053
I'll check it out, I guess that means the quality of the switch matters just as well as the type, right?

Okay guys so I bought a ducky keyboard and the right shift key felt mushy compared to the other switches. So I took it off and this is what I saw. Is this a simple problem that can be fixed or is this broken?
>>
>>56085043
thanks
>>
>>56085071
Cherry stabs have a brake that will make them feel mushier than an unstabilised switch. The only way to fix it is to clip the braking arms, which you can only do by desoldering every switch so that you can remove the plate from the board to access the underside of the stabiliser.

tl;dr you're fucked
>>
>>56085525
if im not wrong ducky has been clipping them since the shine 3
i think the problem resides in that his switch is not properly resetting
>>56085071
try isopropyl alcohol in the switch not the stabs?
not sure desu anon

>>56085525
Its not the stabilizers that's making it mushy

Has anyone ordered a HHKB pro II from Amazon before?

Just ordered a dark grey with legends from the seller A_Japan and my estimated shipping date is around late September but a lot of comments on that seller's profile say that their item came much sooner than the posted date.

I'm only counting on that happening because when I ordered my DS5 it came literally a month before the date.
