/mkg/ - Mechanical Keyboard General

>>56182619

So how good are the TOMOKO-chans?

Also looks like the one you linked got (((Blue))) switches from an unknown source instead of (((Brown))) switches from an unknown source.

Please help me guys... First 60%. HHKBP2 or Pok3r rgb blues

>>56184884
Well if you want the meme board and money isn't an issue get a HHKBP2, otherwise Pok3r rgb is fine too

>>56184882
well the keys are switch master and they don't make them in brown just blue, red, and black

>>56184329
How much does that WhiteFox kit go for on Massdrop usually? Wouldn't be surprised if InputClub tried to overcharge for an un-assembled keyboard. Don't know if I want to hold out for the next drop or not.

>>56184984
180 for the base kit with no caps and switches, but 230 if you want it fully assembled

>>56185022
Jesus! I know it's niche and all but what the fuck man. At most I was willing to do up to $150, key caps included.

>>56185374
I love my IBM model m . But I'll draw it on with a fuckin' sharpie before I buy a keycap.

>>56185434
well an injection molding machine can be bought for around $10,000 on ebay, but those are only for blank caps, if you want the skulls pay 10 times the price

>>56185511

If you think that's the only way to make a keycap, you are just feeding in to the meme.

>>56185559
lol 3D printed caps suck

>>56185596

Who the fuck said 3d printed?

Injection molding is just for mass production, 10,000 dollars for one is just insulting that you would even say that.

You can make your own injection molding machine out of junkyard parts for MAYBE a couple of hundred dollars.

Now I'm pissed off enough I just want to flood the market with knock off "artisans" just to crash your faggotry.

>>56185663
you know someone else is already doing that we discussed this in an older thread, but basically this guy http://www.k3kc.com/shop/ started coping other people designs and selling them for 20-40 bucks. This caused all the people over at geek-hack to get butt hurt and they started to ban anyone who recommended him

>>56185869
Fuck off, geekwhack.

Those caps cost next to nothing to produce.
Charging hundreds of dollars for one is just taking advantage of autistic people.

>>56185869
believe me there was a whole discussion about it and the general consensus was that what he's doing is wrong, but those $1500 keycaps aren't sold by the creator, they are all resales by people who horde them all to inflate prices so it doesn't harm anyone except for those assholes

it would be too good if some chinese company flooded the market with 1:1 copies of clack's shit down the C mark he puts inside them

>>56186004
The sad thing is I don't think the prices will go down, instead those autists will say that these genuine keys have superior quality and as such justify the high price

>>56186042

Also out of curiosity what would you say is the best board you've tried?

>>56186063
I wouldn't be surprised if they started banning people suspected of buying chinese copies of artisan caps.

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't throw a fit when the chinese started making clones of cherry switches.

>>56186245
You know its funny some guy on GH was selling a $100 keyboard for double the price and when asked him to lower it down to a reasonable amount he said that since he takes good care of his keyboards they are worth double of what they normally are.

I honestly can't wait until everything comes crashing down on them

the absolute best quality under $200 mx board is filco, provided you replace the keycaps.
the best topre is the HHKB silenced, something about being plastic mounted makes topre better than plate mounted.

>>56186554
I'm just wondering exactly how they feel different than the old ass rubber dome keyboard I'm typing on right now.

>>56186575
will i do have old ass rubber dome keyboards and they do feel similar to those cheap linear mechanical switches. However its night and day when you compare a buckling spring to a rubber dome, anyone who says they feel similar is a troll

>>56186575
Just clicky ness and tactile feel. Thats it. You should try one yourself before you wadte $100

Maybe I'll get lucky and see one in a thrift store or find out someone I know has one (first is probably more likely with the people I know).

>>56186575
The actuation point usually doesn't require you to bottom out the key with a lot of mech switches, which can improve your efficiency once you get used to it.
Also won't wear out as quickly as a rubber dome keyboard, some of which can start feeling worse after a couple years.

It's up to you to decide if it's what you like, of course. Just trying to help

>>56186668
No, you'll literally never see one in a thrift store.
People know the value of 80s and 90s mechanical keyboards so they scalp them before they even hit the store shelves and sell them off to resellers on ebay who mark them up to sell to autists like you.

>>56186625
No you cant. Mechanical keyboards are to make typing enjoyable. You shouldn't go cheap and buy shitty boards with poor build quality just because theyre mechanical

You can find them in stores like Best Buy and Circuit City on display to try.

>>56188064
Try mx browns. Still has the tactile bump feedback you're used to without the annoying clicky noise

>>56188116
the non-clicky mx switches can be quiet as long as you aren't hammering the keyboard.

I have browns and I've used reds and both are quiet enough. All cherry mx switches will sound the same regardless of the keyboard (but not all switch varieties sound the same)

I made a custom 60% and I have my arrow keys on the second layer. Basically, press FN and then [ for up, ; for left, ' for down, and \ for right. It feels very natural for me. Home and End are P and ] respectively with O and L for Pg Up and Pg Dn.

I don't have any completed pictures of it but here's one before I finished it. Just imagine that everything outside of the red box doesn't exist (and that it has two extra mod keys in-between both controls and alts). Right alt is my FN key

If it makes you feel any better, the keyboard didn't work 100% and the case was stained. I can't in good conscious cut up perfectly working electronics.

>>56189995
ALL the time. PgUp and PgDown, also. Shift+Insert for terminal pasting. Function keys are nice, but not essential.

I was born in the digital era. I didn't ever get the Vi or Emacs keybindings.

Well how much did you spend on it?

What's the appeal of 40% keyboards? Do you never use numbers?

Hey, this is the first time I notice this general, please don't bully my retarded questions or my english;
I'm an autist with unnecesary PC sounds, like the constant fan humming, or the click clacks of keyboards/mouse, to the point I always modify the switch of my keyboard whenever I buy a new one so it makes slightly less noise. I think it all started when the coworker I had right next to me on a data entry company bought a mechanical keyboard.
Since then I visited a few 'geek' websites about the advantages of a mk and literally all the pros where something like "it just feels good", "you get feedback with the clack of each key!", "muh nostalgia"
Am I missing something? My 10 years old membrane keyboard with quality plastic has never failed me yet.

Seems rather expensive for a 40%, I've seen keyboards twice the size on assdrop with the same features and they were barely 20 bucks more expensive.

>>56191565
Black.

Blues suck.

Just came here from /v/, recommend me a good vidya keyboard for 50 bucks.

I spend 12 hours a day gayming MOBAS, fighting games and CS:GO in my mom's basement (NEET). What switches should I get for that??

>>56191645
CM Quickfire Rapid

Magicforce 68

Any switch is fine, but since you're asking I'll just tell you to get reds since that's what all the gamers jump on.

now fuck off.

>>56191663

They're shit and overpriced.

I'm fairly sure I already told you to fuck off.

Why is it so hard to get the mechanical keyboard I want on Amazon.de / co.uk

>>56191670
They're meme gayymer keyboards, good at marketing to that audience, but for the price you can do so much better.

If you want clicky with tactile feedback, get blues, if you want quiet and no tactile feedback, get reds.

I'd bet you'll like whatever you end up getting, because you don't have anything to benchmark it against, so it's really hard to go wrong with your first mech board.

Would be nice if someone can give me advice.

>>56193340
Feel nice with gateron clears and cherry clears, very same o-rings didn't feel nice at all with gateron blacks.

They do a fairly good job at silencing the downstroke, and even dampening the upstroke a bit since they make the keycaps resonate less.

And no, they don't feel like rubber domes. They feel like you're punching rubber, but not like a collapsing rubber dome.

>>56193370

I can't give you specifics since I pretty much winged it but the first pic I posted was what I started with after I stripped the plastic casing off. I made some measurements for the case I was going to make later and I desoldered all of the switches from the board. After I stripped the steel plate I took a dremel to it and cut off the top and side and trimmed up the other side and bottom. I also cut out some holes for the two extra buttons I added on the bottom row. I sanded and painted it since the black paint was bubbling and rusting. At this point, I took the cad file that I was going to use originally (instead of reusing the plate) and used that to get a wooden case laser cut. The case was supposed to be the same size as the plate and I was going to mount it using the four screws in the corner.

Obviously I fucked the scale up. On the bright side, with the coupon, the case came out to like $8 anyway and I'm still super happy with it. I handwired my key matrix instead of reusing and tracing the PCB (more on that later, google brownfox for instructions on handwiring) and hooked it up a teensy running custom TMK firmware. I mounted the plate to the case using four machine screws on the bottom attaching to brass nuts that I soldered to the PCB hooks on the plate. In the end, I think this works better since there is ZERO flex and by design, it can't flex unlike if I had it floating from the four corners. The picture is of the numberpad (which I never bothered wiring) which is mounted the same way. The only difference is that it uses two stainless nuts instead of four brass that are JB Welded instead of soldered.

cont'd

And that's pretty much it. I have one function layer (as you can see by the labels on my key caps) but I think I can do up to ten, assuming I had the buttons. The firmware is amazing and very customizable (my WASD is set up to emulate mouse input) and it is very easy to mod my setup and reflash it (except that the compiler doesn't work on windows 10). I have my matrix set up and my teensy programmed so that I may addon the numberpad if I ever get around to wiring it but I honestly don't use it enough and I might just give it it's own microcontroller anyway.

After having to take it apart a couple times and resolder some buttons, I hot glued in every single key switch. It is significantly more sturdy and it's been going 6+ months without any issues. I did fuckup some of my key caps, like I said, when I was soldering the nuts to the plate. I wasn't paying attention to my exhaust heat and I left some of the switches (with the caps) mounted like an idiot.

Price breakdown
$1 - keyboard at a yardsale, worked great until my roommate's dog and I accidentally spilled a glass of water. I lost a couple of switches (and probably worsened the rust on the plate) due to what I assume is corrosion. Also, this thing had a track ball instead of directional keys and the track ball didn't work for shit (old and worn I guess) and the mouse keys were RIGHT under the left ctrl and alt buttons AND wired into the key matrix so if you accidentally rested your hand and actuated the buttons (despite the serial mouse not being plugged in) you would trip up the controller.
$21 - teensy 2.0 (plus shipping)
$8 - custom lasered wood case
<$5 misc electronics for wiring (diodes, cable, usb ports)

This thing seriously cost me around $36. I bought a dell quietkey with alps just to harvest the keycaps as well but I have yet to swap them over.

I already had a ton of cutoff wheels, a dremel, a soldering iron, sandpaper, spray paint, etc.

>>56194307
Linear switches feel the same as my rubber dome keyboard. Blacks are somewhat tolerable since they require more force to press. If you want you can try and get some funky key switches like space invader or futaba switches. If you want the ultimate in clicky you can get some omron amber switches.

tl;dr I cut out the plate and reused it along with the keycaps and switches and then treated the rest like 100% custom build. I threw out the PCB (and hand-wired it), the case, and the original controller. I would have reused the cord except that I was converting it from DIN-5 to USB and I didn't want an extra serial plug for the mouse hanging off.

Also my keyboard was BROKEN when I did this. Don't do this to a perfectly working keyboard.

Anyone know a good place to buy some ISO-UK (or any ISO layout, I don't really care) keycaps? I've been looking all over but the only ones I can find are around £50 which is far too expensive for a bit of plastic. Anything less than £28 and that isn't black will be good.

All the good shit is ANSI, m8. It's a shame since the ISO enter is objectively superior.

If you just need a set of CHEAP keycaps, there's a $10 usd doubleshot set on banggood in white, red, or black in ANSI/ISO-US with an absolutely terrible font.

It really isn't. It takes your fingers further away from the home row.

>>56194650
Was it a heavily used rubber dome?
Rubber domes aren't linear by design, so if you say that it sounds similar, it sounds like it has either been quite heavily used and worn out, or you have a strange concept of similarity.

>>56192711
Where'd you get those alphas lad?

>>56195138
>It really isn't. It takes your fingers further away from the home row.
True, but I only said that because I like my FN layer setup. I have my arrow keys on the right (instead of WASD) and with an ANSI enter, I wouldn't be able to use them one handed. I also type only with two fingers on each hand when I don't concentrate on typing so that may have something to do with it.

I bought a Cherry G84-4100LCM and used it for a few weeks. Unfortunately, I didn't like as much as I thought I would. Feels almost like a laptop keyboard but with longer travel which is... weird. However, this keyboard is cheap, plastic and has a weird layout. I'd imagine Cherry ML switches on a TKL or full size keyboard with a familiar layout would be better. I'm a fan of Cherry Blue and buckling spring switches otherwise.

you can actually get non exclusive CC keys for cheaper then what he sells them for, but what happens is people buy all the exclusive ones then resale them for 10 times the price. So he copies them and sells them for cheap. No way he can end the monopoly on them. It just pisses people off that limited run designs are being copied which I understand, however it's the not scalpers that I hate the most its the people who actually buy them and enable these fucks is what really pisses me off.
Honestly if people were buying them for 60-80 bucks I'd say this guy is a tool and should fuck off, but when they buy them for $1000+ I can't get mad if they go for him

well whenever he makes a new set you can buy it cheaper than $100, that what I'm trying to say

Just ordered my first mechanical keyboard.

KBParadise V80 with Matias Quiet Click switches and Dolch keycaps. Pic related.

Unfortunately I was only able to pre-order with an expected delivery date of October, but I'm willing to wait for the right product.

Going to drop it in one of the TEX TKL aluminum cases. Probably grey or black.


How did I do?

>>56200075
spent a lot of money for your first step into this meme.

you got a job or something, pal?

>>56200150
that's not really not a lot of money. It only takes about a weeks worth of tips for me to afford that

These optical switches just made all your toys(including rubber ones) completely obsolete.

I've been using a Logitech K360 wireless keyboard for something like four years now.

I'm sick of cheap, chintzy bullshit and at the point where I just like buying things once and being done with it. I don't have a fancy high paying job or anything, but "buy once, cry once" I've learned is just a better way of doing things.

If it shows up and I hate it, I can always return it, but I think this will be the last keyboard I buy for 10+ years.

>>56200249
wow typing skill, I meant to say that's not a lot of money since I make 20-30 dollars a day with just tips, not including my base salary

>>56200150
Im a neet and i bought a IBM Model F and it ended up costing around 250€

its not that much if you just do whatever it takes

It better have been in good condition since you over spent by 50-100 bucks depending on the model

>>56200331
It was a model 616735

>>56200331
the kb itself cost like 80$ IIRC rest of the cost was shipping, taxes and a adapter (i had to get it shipped from usa to finland)

Its almost like new 122key 6110345 model so i think i got a got a ok deal

>>56200358
youre not me

>>56200378
That makes more sense I guess, but how much was the shipping? I know DHL ships up to 5kg for $35 anywhere in the world

>>56200413
It wasnt DHL for sure i think it was around 50€ and after the taxes i ended up paying around 180€ and the prebuilt adapter was about 50€

i hope this is the last keyboard ill ever buy

>>56200251
>optical switches
that doesnt make sense
doesnt that limit you to only having linear switches(which most people dislike) and create another point of failure?

>>56200500
No fuck you if you're gonna post contribute to the fucking thread you faggot

I tried out a K50 with cherry mx reds and I hated it because it felt too weak and not 'tactile'
I tried the greens on some razer shit and they felt okay but the sounds were annoying.
What am I looking for? Whites are discontinued so im guessing brown or clears?

>>56200543

any keycaps for this feel, lads?

>>56200280
>fucking up this hard on typing
The mechanical meme needs a bullet

>>56200564
Try the booty shaped artisan escape key keycap

>>56198382
Is it just me or does that spacebar look like 1000u?

>>56200543
you probably do not want browns
its a similar feel to reds and actually my 3-4 year old ducky shine 2 w/ browns doesnt even have the tactile bump at this point it literally feels like a linear switch at normal typing speeds
If you can tolerate low noise(clicks but not loud clicks) MX whites are probably the best option
if you must have silence clears are the next best option
theyre quite heavy but theyre progressive so at actuation theyre not necessarily massively heavy but I don't think there's a heavier switch at bottom out which may cause some discomfort if you're not quite ready for it or if you bottom out like no ones business

>>56200273

You are literally retarded, kys.

>>56200719
Buy xpt100
And keep the hhkb

I'm thinking of getting the Filco Majestouch 2. Anyone know any nice looking keycap sets to get with it? Preferably UK-ISO. I'm considering the Tai Hao "Set Sunshine" right now.

>>56200730
then it's completely pointless to have an optical switch, KILL YOURSELF

what's with the geekhackers that can only type 40wpm, people were saying my 110 wpm (or something, i don't remember) with rubber dome was shit

>>56200806
Don't do it
75% and full keyboards are terrible

>>56200861
whats wrong with numpads?

>>56200856
how do you know theyre from geekhack
i dont find a difference between keyboards except my clears board thats the only one that makes me type about 90-100 instead of 110-130

>>56200861
I owned a Pok3r for a bit. I didn't like it because it was too small, which is why I'm going to go for a full-size or tenkeyless.

>>56200884
It takes up to much space and is awful to type on because to move the mouse you have to move your whole hand instead of a quick wrist flick with a 60%

>>56200810
>completely pointless
Enjoy your oxidation and metal bounce delay, retarded one.

>>56200920
>because to move the mouse you have to move your whole hand instead of a quick wrist flick with a 60%

Just how short are you ? I think my full size keyboard is relatively small for what it is. I which it was a tad bigger

>I have been touch typing for a little over a year now and i get about 40 wpm.
>I touch type at 30-40 wpm with some errors, but type a little bit faster if i look at my keyboard...

i was just wondering if you're supposed to type completely without bottoming out or with some bottoming out or always bottoming out. i'm on rubber domes for now so i'm always bottoming out because that's how the keyboard works. do you think a mech keyboard with blue will help me type faster? i've seen people say they gained 10 wpm just from the keyboard

What is the best full sized non mechanical keyboard?

>>56201004
Sorry I thought you were talking about dick size

Im actually 902 acres wide and 300 miles tall

>>56200954
not kidding i did a trashy statistics project on wpm correlated to keyboards
you probably won't type any faster to begin with maybe after a month or two you might notice possible increase in speed
from an ergonomics and longevity(most important) not bottoming out all the time is the goal
obviously its not possible to be perfect about it but attempt to not bottom out as much as possible, you'll probably start doing it once you start getting used to the keyboard
the keyboard i am most comfortable w/ i do type the fastest tho(hhkb)

>>56200965
i'm 6 feet tall and i'm getting a compact keyboard because the bulkiness of my current keyboard has been bothering me a lot, the reason the numpad is on the right is because the layout was decided before the computer mouse was invented/popularized. a numpad on the left would make more sense for right-handed users so it doesn't get in the way of the computer mouse, but even then you can use layers to get numpad without taking your hands off the main typing area

>>56200598
Welp, guess Ill have to give up backlighting

>>56201119
imo you should get one with backlighting if that's what you want

>>56201152
I cant find a Ducky board with whites and backlighting that isnt TKL, and the only one with clears is the Shine 4. Maybe I'll wait a month for the Shine 6

>>56201119
Buy my Shine 4 with Clears already

I doubt that the Shine 6 will come in clears, they're using mx rgb switches now, which only come in the common flavors.

I'd still use this baby if it weren't so fucking huge.
