Hello guys
I have been eyeing mechanical keyboard for years
now I feel like finally buying one

because eastern europe, I have very limited options to choose from
also I dont want to feel stupid for overpaying
so quickfire is my most likely main option

is there some guide in to quickfires?
I see in our shops many possible variants
will check them out one by one I guess, like I did few months back already

also tenkeyless or not
I am kinda not really decided here, I kinda noticed that I would likely benefit from it when typing
I often feel like my keyboard is bit off to the left, pushed by its length...
but I also am kinda used to using numpad for numbers... I assume I will adjust when no numpad, but am kinda worried taking that jump

switches I am going for brown
seems to be liked, got tactile which I think is part of having the mecha keyboard
and they are not as loud as blue

What about cheap khali or whatever switches?
anything worldwide available and not total shit and for significantly cheaper?

Yeh it came modified to ANSI with an internal xwhatsit controller installed. It's from the same guy (joe) that is selling the new model f reproduction keyboards. I bought the industrial SSK from him too.

>>57076958
cool, seen those and thought about getting one
nice to hear that they seem to be competent

>>57077045
They're still in production. I have an F62 Kishsaver and an F77 on order and both will be delivered in January so if you want one order it asap otherwise you'll have to buy one in the last production round which can take like another year to get a hold of the board. They are ridiculously expensive though

>>57075560

Anyone have any idea what keyboard this is? I saw it on the lol world championship stream. It belongs to one of the players on team SSG

>>57079059
Cherry G80-1800, most likely.

Absolute cheapest 60% or lower? does not have to be cherry mx

>>57078902
It's too bad it doesn't have the split right shift, but it's hard to find that in Matias Quiet under 200$.
The price doesn't seem unreasonable. The brand comes up on Massdrop sometimes, and I hear they have some mild QC issues. In fact, that keyboard but with backlight and only Cherry Switches is on Massdrop right now for 90$+ shipping (+11$ for MX clears).

The Infinity 60% is available there, and you can get the split shift and such, but once you add keycaps it's even more expensive, around 140$ delivered. Reviews are pretty positive, but I have no idea if the production run will be worth it.

>>57079213
There's the kbp v60 on massdrop right now for $90.

Do you guys ever get worried the way keyboard are positions that you will develop caral tunnel due to the positioning of the wrists?

How much do you think is a reasonable price to pay for a Model M? Is eBay the best place to buy one? Is this a bad first-purchase for a faggot who has never used a mech keyboard and wants to fall for the meme?

>>57081728
80 for an original one

>>57081714
no, i type with my penor

>>57081746
>80 for an original one
Good luck, 80 would be real cheap find.
At least $150-$200.

>>57081757
You can buy a Unicomp Model M brand new with no wear and tear for $84. There's no reason to spend more than $60 on an old Model M unless you're a collector and it has some rare/special pedigree.

>>57081822
We are talking about original Model M's, not cheapo remakes.

Why would anyone want a two decade old keyboard anyways for their computer?
There are much cheaper and better mechanical keyboards nowadays and I'm not talking about those shitty chink ones or arduino driven hack jobs.

>>57081844
Have you EVER typed on a buckling spring keyboard? I don't dig it personally, but a model F(and to a lesser extend also a model M) has an incredibly unique typing experience, unmatched by any modern keyboard I can think of.

>>57076931
Is that a Red Scarf II? How's it? Was tempted to join the drop but I'd rather wait for the whitefox to be available again later this year.

>>57081909
>unmatched by any modern keyboard I can think of.
false, just being a delusional faggot

>>57081909
Model F's don't work with new computers, unless you destroy it, then you're a fucking idiot.

Also, F and M use the same switches, only difference is how they are connected.

>>57081405
Early versions were okay. Current is both bad and would be overpriced if it weren't.

>>57081922
>"I don't dig it personally"
>just being a delusional faggot
>still not giving me any keyboards that feel like the model F's capacative buckling springs

I do like your projection, but maybe it's time to stop posting now, newfriend.

>>57081932
Yes, both use buckling springs. However, the model F uses capacative buckling springs, while the model M uses a membrane version.

The white caps are from an ancient Cherry Keyboard, and their texture is much better than the original ones on this keyboard. I would have put in more white caps, but they're slightly lower than the black ones and would make the backlighting (even more) pointless.

>>57081953
>However, the model F uses capacative buckling springs, while the model M uses a membrane version.

No, she apparently wants to have a numpad on the keyboard. The Ducky One is available with one, but she doesn't like the design. She sorta likes the Coolermaster, which is available with a numpad, but it isn't PS/2.
>>57082090
I already have a Leopold FC900 with Granite keycaps.

>>57081728
You could look at completed auctions on ebay.

I personally love my buckling springs and dread having to work away from home because it means using different switches. A Model M was my first mech, and no other switch I've tried has lured me away, despite the incredibly funky old school vibe on a Model M. But you have to remember they're about as extreme a mech as a mech can get. A buckling spring is louder and heavier than nearly any other switch (it about matches a cherry green for actuation force).

You might try r/mechmarket on reddit, but I think aside from that ebay is your best choice.

The 1391401 is extremely common and slightly more robust than the 42H1292 (mostly, the metal backplate and plastic case were both thicker). I've seen them for 80$ on ebay used but working, though you never have an idea of what kind of use they went through. Model Ms are durable and repairable, but not immortal.

The Unicomp Classic is 84$, and is literally a Model M 42H1292 in everything but branding. The Ultra Classic is the same guts in a slightly slimmer case. There might be some tiny differences in the internals (different strength springs, for instance), but otherwise they're the same, so look at the price and think about what you'd pay for a used version of that.
You can get them in the sweet as shit EnduraPro version which is an ultra classic with a clit mouse for 115$.

The IBM Space Saving Keyboard or Model M Mini is my main. A TKL based on the same tooling that made the 1391401. They seem to all be around 180$ now. I got mine for 100$ but that was years ago. I would jump at sub 150$ to get a back-up if I could justify it right now.
(note, NOT, the Space Saver, or M4, which use rubber sleeves)
I really wish I knew why Unicomp doesn't make a buckling spring TKL. They made the M4s.

>>57082174
There are also still some Model Fs around. A quick glance says around 100$ too. The thing to be careful of is getting some weirdo terminal board that needs an expensive hardware converter to work with modern computers. Model Fs are all older, but the design of the switch on them (capacitive vs membrane buckling spring) is actually more durable than the version on the Model M.The spring is also thinner, meaning lower actuation force for the keys; around 60cn instead of 85cn (cherry clear or black vs cherry green); and yet it's also slightly louder. Even the ones that work with PCs (AT jacks) tend to have weird layouts.

I love the weight of the M's keys, so that's a big part of why I stay with them, but I've been contemplating buying a Model F and seeing if I could get heavier springs for it. They're longer than the Model M springs so I don't think I could just swap them.

On the plus side, the keys for the Models M and F should be mostly interchangeable, so you could get replacements from Unicomp if you wanted.

>>57082174
>You could look at completed auctions on ebay.
Why oh why do you idiots even use eBay? You're the ones who inflate the damn price, fucking hipster pieces of shit.

>>57082210
>A quick glance says around 100$ too.
kek got a model F with a IBM XT for $30

>>57082205
I was gonna get that one, but I was too late, so I got the Granite set instead.

>>57082208
It has brown MX switches, and the keycaps I use are DSA, not so good for gaming.

Finding a 104key with cherry mx clears for relatively cheap is impossible

>>57082241
>DSA

>implying DSA keycaps are any different on the top

your faggy attraction to your keyboard is actually worse than the average /v/ermin

>>57081714
Technically, carpal tunnel syndrome is a specific kind of repetitive strain injury (RSI), and is almost only produced by twisting motions. Assembly line workers that had to screw parts together were the largest pool of sufferers.

Poor hand posture causes what are technically other kinds of RSI (usually just called wrist or forearm tendonitis or tendonosis).

I don't fear that I'll develop a hand RSI from my keyboard because I learned correct touch typing and keep my wrists as straight as possible while typing, generally moving only from the shoulder and elbow. The most important thing is to not let your palms rest below the keyboard while you're moving your fingers. Wrists bent back while using your fingers is the fast track to pain town.
For this reason, my keyboard is at the edge of my desk, so there's on temptation to develop a bad habit.

Model Fs have individually mounted switches and the spring and hammer design is different (Model F hammers are hueg), giving them bassier sound and more tactile punch.

This is even before considering the capacitve PCB vs membrane sheets.

>>57085119
Also I'm looking at some of the 80 buck ones on ebay and they are terrible condition.

>>57084313

Where did you get your PC keycaps from?
I've taken my numpad keys from my ATPC Model F.

>>57086946
The keycaps on that model f are a mixture of the original terminal caps and some keycaps I had spare which will have been from other model m's. Regular unicomp keycaps will also work on it - except for the space bar.

I got some classic cherry keyboard for free, the G80-3000

This is pretty cool but I'm pretty bad at touchtyping. I'm fine with lowercase letters but I choke with anything else. Any recommendations?

>>57086658
Not him but its the TADA 68. The second round has ended already, but hopefully in 10 months time you can get one. They cost around 80-100 depending on the options

>>57087257
keybr.com

This should help

>>57087260
Any way I could find out when they'll be back up?

I have a Novatouch keyboard I'm looking to sell. Should I try sell it to someone here from 4chan or just use the local ebay variant in my country? The keycaps are UK iso, and I live in Denmark, so I dunno if I'll have much luck selling it here unless I put on some of my other keycap sets.

Model M 122-key reporting for duty

>>57088759
then i'll better make sure I don't need to replace them.

I was thinking on taking the browns (I know, babby etc.).

considering I am not too obsessed about keyboards and am only switching because I want to get the international US layout (currently using italian), is that a wise pick?

>>57088705
non-standard bottom row and non-standard stabilizer placement. Don't bother if you plan on ever replacing the keycaps.

>>57088758
>>57088807
I'm not a fan of brown switches as they are pretty underwhelming. The tactile feedback they have is terrible compared to the other switches. Now they keycaps will end up with shine like >>57085160 if you use them. If you want a cheap keyboard with dedicated media keys then I guess you can go for it. Personally I would go with Duck One since its a little bit more expensive and has much better build quality and more features as well. It has dedicated volume switches, but playback is done with function macros.

Thoughts on corsair K70 lux red led?

I got it a few days ago as my first mechanical keyboard, I really like it. Mine is with red switches for gaymen. Still not used to it though, I make mistakes and sometimes accidentally press keys. The wrist rest it comes with is great, feels really good.

What I'm not sure about is that the space bar is textured. I hope it doesn't become smooth where I press it but it probably will with time. They also give you a bunch of textured keycaps which is nice I guess, I don't use them.

Also, keep in mind I couldn't find ducky or similar in my shithole cunt, so I had to choose from mainstream keyboards.

>>57088993
looks like you should have went with a heavier switch like black. Why not get a keyboard with that since black are the cheapest of all the cherry switches. All those old cash registers used to have blacks in them, heck my police station threw away their old mechanical keyboards that had cherry blacks. I'm absolutely positive you can pick one up used for under 20 bucks or whatever currency you use. Of course it won't be fancy, but it will have much better build quality compared to the k70

Recommendation plz
Budget: cheap as possible, 100$ max
Location: Denmark, Europe
Preferred switch type: tactile, hard, don't care about sound, can be comfy
layout: iso preferred, ansi is fine
form factor: has to be 100%
backlight: I'd prefer not to have it backlit.

if a 100$ one absolutely does not exist with these specs I'd like to know what the cheapest one is.

>>57089268
the cheapest mechanical keyboard that you can get are the Chinese ones off of aliexpress or banggood. But I assume you want something better like Ducky

If I am to replace, say, Gateron Green's spring with a spring from Clear will I get a 35g tactile switch that works perfectly fine?

>>57089436
yes plenty of people do it, heck they even sell springs by themselves

>>57089268

The Unicomp buckling spring keyboards have a metal plate under the keys; the internals are next to identical to the IBM Model M 42H1292 (most common blue label)
Sure, it's not as thick as the one in a third generation Model M (some blue labels produced between 92 and 96), a gray label Model M (2nd gen, eg, 1391401), or a Model F, but it's still metal, and the switches are still buckling spring.

The cases, barrels, and keycaps are also all mode on the same machines and with mostly the same plastics as the 4th gen Models M (PBT keys, etc).

You might be thinking of the fact that the earliest Models F and M had metal in their cases too, either the entire thing or just the bottom half.

Not to mention Unicomp are selling original IBM model M's right now for 80$ and they're new in box too.
The unicomps are practically the same thing, I took one apart recently to use as spares as I needed the flippers and springs. Pretty much identical internals

Also the only metal cased IBM's were the Model F 4704 series and the F122. the unsaver probably had a metal back too. I don't think any M's had metal cases

Not much to show desu. laser-cut plywood (1/8", so the switches are glued in), diode matrix, teensy. Probably the most interesting thing is I wire-wrapped the teensy pins; it's been soldered to and desoldered from a lot, and is starting to kind of fall apart. This spares it unnecessary stress.

rows and columns. forgive the soldering please.

All I did was jam the plywood into a couple pieces of what i think is aluminum wiring conduit with some wedges of same, then hotglued everything together. Gives it just enough clearance to keep the wires from getting pressed together. Made a little bracket out of fr4 to hold the teensy; superglued that onto the back..

Is noise an issue?
It might seem normal to you but the loud noise from bottoming out browns might drive people to hate you.

I would recommend you get a dampened tactile switch like matias quiet click. These switches are quieter then rubberdomes, but if you want full size your options are very limited (the white one is for macs)
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/search.php?keyword=&brand=&switch=32&size=Full+Size&led=&capmat=&capprint=&model=&availability=&show_kb=off&show_kb=on&show_acc=off&show_acc=on

>>57093573
You might be right.

A coworker once brought his keyboard that had reds... a couple of us noticed right away that it was a mechanical due to the different noise and then after we mentioned it, other people in the same room remarked that it sounded louder and different.

I'm staying the fuck away from blues because of that... but what are the other alternatives? anything cheaper.

Thanks for the help anon.

>>57093623
unfortunately the market for quiet mechanical keyboards isn't large as such its pretty limited to only matias quiet click and cherry silent (which are only available on linear switch corsair gamer keyboards).
The only other option is to mod the switches yourself by buying pads and dental bands

Ducky Shine 4, KUL ES-87, I think the new series of ducky one's also comes with clears.

Clears aren't clicky, they're heavier than browns and their weight increases very quickly as you go past the tactile bump. Probably my favorite cherry switch.

>>57094528

For blues you could go for a Ducky one. This model comes with PBT keycaps so they feel really nice

I bought a ducky shine 5(blues) and put some caps on it from a wyse terminal board I found at a surplus store.

Not really a fan of the whole RGB lights and stuff, but I really like the raindrop effect.

logitec 270 user here

also my eneloop triple A batteries just arrived as well (only had double A prior) which means now ill never have to buy another mouse or keyboard again in a decade since each last on 1 battery charge for a year and the batteries themselves can be recharged thousands of times

The keyboard you're asking about is made by ducky, but yeah, they're a solid brand.

>>57094701
Please find the nearest fire and throw that thing into it.

Or just put the stock caps back on.

>>57094716
My keyboards and my mouse have cables, which means that I never have to recharge them.
Revolutionary, isn't it?

>>57094547
How do I use the backlit section of this? Is "all" meaning it can be multiple colors, or it's like >>57094701

>>57094759

my keyboard and mouse dont have cables, which means i can take them to my bed or anywhere else and not worry about them snagging since my "battlestation" includes a recliner and not a fucking office chair

>>57094785
that's what laptops are for anon

>>57094806

i have a 40 inch 120 native hert LED screen and a 24in secondary monitor around my recliner, no need for a lap heater

>>57094819
Fair enough.

That'd then lead to me to asking you what you're doing in the thread about mechanical keyboards.

>No desoldering station?
you can actually see part of my desoldering station right in the picture.

Problem was that it had gotten clogged with some molten plastic or something of the sort, which lead to it doing a rather mediocre job at desoldering, as a result of which I ended up ripping off some pads from the PCB. All of that then devolved into such a PITA that I just decided to handwire it instead.

What sculpted SA mods would look good with Pulse? I want to mix it up now and then so I'm looking for some mods. I wish there was a black mod option for Pulse I would have got that too.

Depends entirely on what form factor you want. They both have doubleshot keycaps, RGB and cherry switches. The pok3r also has a metal case, but I wouldn't consider that much of a plus, given that it's spray-painted and doesn't really add much more than weight to the keyboard.

I don't see how you're even having trouble choosing with two form factors as contrasting as these. Personally I'd go for the pok3r, but that's just because I prefer the form factor.

>>57095099

Tell me more about me and my autism

Beats me how it got clogged, maybe some random shit from the board I had previously desoldered? No idea really.

>>57095063
I bought it because it's the prettiest one out there.

>>57094759
I like the grey caps. So no.

I understand that taste is a subjective matter, but you're going to get bullied for it here.

>>57095146
My daily driver has 35g linears and I never have any problem like this. How heavy are your fingers for that to be a problem?

Though blacks are also quite nice.

>>57095148
Ducky's a nice brand. Enjoy your keyboard.

>>57095146
Lose some weight faggot, I use Gateron Clears and never have accidental button presses. Maybe if your hands weren't so fucking fat you wouldn't accidentally hit keys.

should have bought blacks then, the objectively superior swtich

but i got a cherry black keyboard with a grey switch for the spacebar for work thinking the cat wouldn't be able to push on it as much

i was wrong about that

>>57095160
I want a proper retro SA set, but that would cost as much as the board did. The caps on the Wyse board is like an old timey winkeyless ISO setup, and my Ducky is 104key ANSI, so obviously they don't all fit.

>>57095165

not fat at all.

in fact i've been called ladyhands.

maybe i just have some weird tick and i subconsciously press on shit while thinking.

Alphas and mods look good. Scratch everything else.

Though you shouldn't be buying WASD keycaps in the first place, they're horribly overpriced.

Those secondary legends are for chinese, right?

>>57095194
There you are again.

Any additions to your collection?

>>57095204
This is a Max Keybaords set. But yeah, the secondary is for Mandarin.

Are they just as overpriced as WASD?

>>57095230
that's one big spacebar.

Are those keycaps doubleshot or laser-etched?

>>57095261
they're doubleshot. You can't tell from the front, but they're actually blue legends, which is neat. Apparently someone makes a set based on these old Wyse boards, but last time I looked them up it was like $180 and if I'm spending that much I'm at least getting SA profile.

>>57095146

I have the same problem with light switches. I ended up actually using my kitchen scale and a book so I could rest my hand like it were on a keyboard, with just the middle finger on the scale. It varies between 40-50g depending on posture and breathing, so 45g linears are just too light. Discovered I didn't like linears as much as I though I would anyway so I ended up selling the board and going with a Matias quiet click. Tactile bumps help with accidental activation a lot, even on lighter cherries like browns/blues.

>>57095165

Not the faggot you're projecting on but plenty of people have heavy hands because of physical work like trades. No fat required.

>>57095180

Posture has a lot to do with it I've found. If you're leaning into the keyboard or your elbows are raised you'll have more weight bearing straight down on the keys.

>>57095236

No, because I stay on the fucking pad.
