most likely you will need to solderer the switches, then take apart the switch

I might put it on ebay. I've ordered a Griffin imate and depending on whether I like this one or the other one with the damped white switches. Or I might end up liking my AT101W I'm using right now better than either one of them.

Currently have an OG Black Widow. I want to die. I am building a new PC. Anyone have a recommendation for a quiet keyboard, with 1 to 10 Dedicated Macro Keys?

I don't need things to light up. I don't need custom keycaps with chinkshit on them. I just need a quiet keyboard that has macro keys I can dick with.

>>57221709
On programmable keyboard, every key is macro key.

>>57221781
So do you have a recommendation besides just a programmable one? So many to chose from nowadays with all these different brands and switches.

>Anyone have a recommendation for a quiet keyboard
the problem is that quiet keyboards are niche market and there aren't that many options
Matias Quiet switches are actually quieter then rubberdomes and come with linear and tactile options
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/search.php?keyword=&brand=&switch=32&size=&led=&capmat=&capprint=&model=&availability=in_stock_pre&show_kb=off&show_kb=on&show_acc=off

Then you have silent cherry switches, but these are only linear.
You can find then on Leopold or Corsair keyboards.

>>57221798
If you want a silent cherry then maybe get a Leopold Fc980M.
It is programmable so that should solve your macro problem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW9w8C1265c

It comes in white or black

I'm pretty sure it's not programmable.

Ok dropping in for some of your great wisdom. I have a Ducky Zero DK2108 with red switches and due to a fuckup it needs to be replaced.

Now I would be perfectly happy to buy another one but they seem to be sold out everywhere. Is there anything similar up to the same price range($90-100) Preferably no backlight/LED shit.

r8 it m8s


Placed it on pre-order way back in August. Arrived last week, a couple of days before the estimated ship date when I originally ordered. Always nice when it works out that way.

Absolutely a pleasure to type on, though I'm still getting used to it after using a $15 logitech rubber dome keyboard for many years. Build quality is excellent. Flex under pressure is almost non-existent, it's got an impressive amount of heft, no rattling or noise of any kind from it. Polymers all have a good feel to them. Feet are quality and the included cable is as nice as anything else I own.

Right out of the box, I was having some pretty serious key chatter issues on the S, Space, and Right Ctrl keys. As I use it, the frequency of repeats is going down rapidly. 'S' has just about stopped doing it entirely, Space about 25% of what it was, and it seems like it's continuing to improve. Just a break-in thing I guess on these damped switches.

The guys at MK already offered to have me ship it back to them at their expense so they can replace the problem switches, so either way it's no big deal.

Besides that, I'm loving this thing.

Unfortunately, it's already made me hate the dell OEM keyboard I have at work.

Sorry for the potato quality pic, I'll try to get some better ones of the board when I get home.

>>57222078
Might I ask how you got your wood looking so nice?

>>57222647

Looks like a basic stain-job to me.

>>57222572
The only mechanical keyboard I have had is the Ducky Zero and it has been perfect so I just defaulted to what was on it. The switches are the important thing so I could go with some different keycaps.

As long as I dont need to use those orange ones would you make a suggestion to replace these? https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1545

>>57222691
The default ones on that board are double shot ABS, which are one of the best types keycaps that you can buy, so downgrading to pad printed garbage really isn't the best thing to do. Instead why not get something of similar quality like PBT dye-sub or a different double shot

here is a suggestion they are double shot PBT and only cost 30 bucks

1. Yes. That thing is an absolute clusterfuck of color.
2. Fair enough, though it still contributes to the aforementioned clusterfuck of color.
3. A text editor so convoluted that it apparently requires you to highlight certain keys in order to be usable.

Man, I really wish there were more options out there for ALPS style switches. I see lots of really sexy caps posted that I'll never be able to take advantage of.

At least PMK had a red ESC key available for me. Besides that, the only things I've found are two more color schemes from Tai-Hao (same guys that made the Dolch set my KB came with).

bought some orings to try out with my mx browns, what should I expect?

>>57223443
I don't like them. I bottom out when typing and gaming, and o-rings change the solid feeling of a switch held all the way down into a gross squishy feeling.

>>57223610
so it doesn't make the bottom out and recognition that the key was pressed any faster? I got DSA keycaps recently and I feel so much lower on the board and I love it, I was wondering if o-rings could extend that even further and let me bottom out every stroke but realize it faster

>>57223567

Yeah, I've seen Tai-Hao doubleshot ABS sets in Olivette, Dolch, and "Vintage Beige". My V80 was available in all three, and I definitely like the Dolch the best.

Unfortunately, they're all cylindrical and I'd really love to get a spherical set. I think DSA Dolch is A E S T H E T I C, and the "Godspeed" set that recently dropped gave me a raging hard on.

That's what I get for prioritizing the switch choice over customization options though.

I can't stand linear switches. Never liked them.

The first couple of times I got to try a mechanical keyboard it was friends who bought boards with cherry reds and blacks for 'gaming'. That experience led me to write them off as shill shit for years until I finally read about the different types of switches.

Now I've got matias tactile switches and couldn't be happier.

You may have to get a new keycap, but buying singular keys isn't that expenisve

I just tried switching the keycaps from my Dell AT101W with some from the Apple Extended Keyboard II and they worked perfectly.

Gives the keyboard a bit different feel. I might buy some of these keycaps for replacements because the keycaps on my keyboard are now extremely shiny and worn from the last five or so years of 4chan.

Its much better than those bluetooth adapters since it has greater battery life. Its convenient to just have one keyboard that can switch between my desktop and laptop without unpluging.

I have never tried a mechanical keyboard and hopes of trying one locally is zero. I don't really want to get a key tester because delivery would take a month or some bullshit to get here then another month to get a keyboard with the switches I prefer. So, I have basically decided on browns because if it's not tactile enough, I would get something tactile and if I don't like the bump, I would get something linear. It will be used 80% for general typing and the rest on mobas and osu.
Any recs on decently cheap chinkboards with browns? TKL preferred.

>>57227771
No idea on cheap chinkboards. Maybe try MagicForce, Zhuque(TeamWolf) or ReDragon if they got some cheap gateron browns.

Coming from a person who recently got into mKBs, browns are the best choice. They feel a lot better than pleb domes.

Buying blues or reds later is a great choice if you don't like the browns.

I have a Dell AT-101W and I've been searching eBay for ANYTHING with alps or alps clone caps. I bought this based on the very little information I found and some pictures of the switches. They're supposed to be alps clone mounts, but on a hybrid switch. I'm gambling that there wasn't some change in the switches. I like the look, so I'll see if they even fit or if they feel like shit. But oh well, if not I just bought a broken keyboard, with no cable, for almost as much as I paid for my AT-101W. Please tell me I didn't fuck up.

>>57224054
I ordered Kailh reds for my first switches after a lifetime of rubberdomes. I did it because my hands are fucked up from years of typing and I wanted something really light and also quiet to not drive the office crazy.

Slightly less noise when you bottom out and a bit less distance before bottoming out, the extent of both depends on the orings.

>>57231471
Huh, second time I see a fuckup of this sort.

Seems to be a problem with certain keysets and ISO. They just throw in some keys so that you have enough for ISO despite the original set being ANSI, thus leading to shit like this.

Try contacting the place you got them from.

Logitech has yet to produce a mechanical keyboard that isn't a piece of crap. The g710 had a non-standard bottom row, was known for dead LEDs and broken keycaps.

The g910 uses some failed attempt at redesigning mechanical switches.

The g610 doesn't only have a non-standard bottom row, the stabilizer placement is also non-standard.

Cooler master, on the other hand, is actually known for producing mostly good keyboards (except for the quickfire TK and the rapid-i)

That being said, don't let me stop you from throwing your money away.

>>57237051
https://www.caseking.de/
Any Ducky, Filco, or Cooler Master keyboard will work.

>>57226713

Varmilo VA87M

80%, comes in blue brown black and red flavors, white LED backlighting, $124 on mk

There's also a VA68M that I guess would be considered a 70% or 75%, comes with Gateron switches, has white LED backlighting, and a nice looking aluminum case for $159

VR68M is the same but with RGB lighting and a different color aluminum case for $189.

>>57236959
If you want a programmable back light why not go for a Ducky Zero/One/Shine?
They all have vastly better build quality compared to Logitech

>>57237237
hmm will go for quickfire then, seems better deal and quality CM brand

>>57237301
can you find any complains on g610 build quality that you can quote actually?

g610 is plate planted heavy keyboard with good keycaps

there are no complains of shining like corsair or dying leds after 2 months like cooler master that I have seen

do you got something specific or you just parrot what you see others say?

also I dont want programmable, I want backlight but not xmas tree, g610 seems like it found good balance there
while others seems to go for reflective surface that makes the outline of key extremely outshining the label of the key from shots Ive seen

>>57237365
>complains of shining
The keycaps are ABS, just because nobody here has one and is hence not complaining about the keycap shine doesn't mean that ABS will stop doing what ABS does, that being developing shine with use.

The keyboards anon mentioned are made by a company that is known for good keyboards, with standard layouts. There's no reason to buy a keyboard from a company with a track record like logitech when Ducky exists.

And backlight is dimmable you know.

Anybody have a source for ALPS profile PBT caps with legends (laser engraved would be best)?

Especially if they're available in white so I can just dye them myself.

>>57237365
>I dont want programmable
Then why did you specifically ask for a keyboard that has lighting zones instead of the whole thing lighting up.

Anyway lets start
>plate planted
Almost all modern mechanical keyboards are plate mounted, heck my cheap Chinese one has a metal plate so that really isn't something to brag about

>good keycaps
No these are laser etched ABS keycaps and they will end up with shine like every ABS keyboard does. PBT is more resistant to shine. Also not to mention the nonstandard layout and nonstandard stabilizer placement will make it extremely difficult to change those keycaps once the begin to wear off. The 5.75U spacebar is an exclusive piece that can't be found in any aftermarket keycap set. And the stock keycaps on the g610 is nothing exceptional. Ducky's abs doubleshot/dye-sub PBT keycaps are much better in every regard. (Pic related is what double shot keycaps look like)

>do you got something specific
Yes any Ducky keyboard as I have said. The step up in build quality is definitely worth it

>>57237437
are you saying cooler master does not use ABS keycaps?
because thats what you recommended just seconds ago and praised it?
are you feeling ashamed now because you did not go like every retard in to directly recommending ducky and filco that are not available everywhere and are greatly overpriced for what they actually offer?

>>57237516
so you got nothing but potential for shine as build quality issue
and inability to change bottom rows keys

I didn't say that cooler master doesn't use ABS keycaps, I said that the logitech board uses ABS keycaps that will shine, because for some reason you seemed to believe otherwise.

Though cooler master boards actually offer a standard layout (except for the quickfire TK), so you can replace the keycaps with whatever other keycaps you want.

But honestly, if you're that convinced of the g610 then go buy it. You'll probably be happy with it, just don't expect people here to approve of your purchase.

If spending that much on a keyboard might be a problem then why not consider Chinese keyboards. Rosewill is a good choice for a lower end keyboard, but Magiforce, Tomoko, Zhuque, etc. all have mechanical keyboards for under 50 bucks.

Heck you can even get old dell mechanical keyboards like the at101w or apple AEK for under 50 bucks too. Sadly the apple keyboards need an adapter

Masterkeys has some SDK available if you want to custom control its lighting, so it's pretty cool if that's something you'd want to do.

okay comparing both I find no noteworthy differences. The case of the cooler master seems to be slightly taller but that's about it.

I think I'll go for the Cooler Master since I can get it here in Germany for 97€ now while the ducky One won't be available here in a long time (if ever)

I want a less than a keyboard quieter than a Black Widow, aka not shit switches, with atleast 1 dedicated macro key and no numpad BUT I want Function Keys. Alternatively it can have all keys be re programmable rather than have the macro key.

Anyone know of one?

Problem is that quiet mechanical keyboards are a small market, but there are a few options like silent linear cherry switches on a Leopold FC980M
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=365
but they are scratchy as hell.

Alternatively these are quieter then rubber domes and are also tactile

Hey guys, I'm looking at this piece of chink engineering. http://s.aliexpress.com/A7ZJfq67 Never owned a mechanical before, just want a cheapest one to try it out.

>>57242252

>Just want a cheapest one to try it out.

This is entirely the wrong approach. You're going to spend $40 on a piece of shit mechanical keyboard just to confirm to yourself that you want a mechanical keyboard so you can proceed to spend $80-120 on a decent mechanical keyboard?

Get a load of this retard, everyone.

>>57242493
No, I just said it wrong, because I'm from a third world country and my English sucks. I just want a cheap chink keyboard, because I don't want to spend more than $40-50 on a keyboard, but still want a mechanical one. Better now?

The real answer is eBay or maybe something used on Amazon. But if you want new, the usual "search by switch" on mechanicalkeyboards.com isn't a bad place to start looking:
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/search.php?keyword=&brand=&switch=9&size=&led=&capmat=&capprint=&model=&availability=in_stock&show_kb=off&show_kb=on&show_acc=off

Among the current in-stock options the Vortex Pure PBT is the cheapest 60% board and the KBParadise V80 has the cheapest TKL board.

The RGB lighting isn't really what I want it for anyway, I just like the 68 key layout and wanted to build my own keyboard instead of buying something off the shelf.

Hello /mkg/

Britfag here, looking to buy my first Topre keyboard, from what I can tell the only brands available in a UK layout are the Coolermaster CM NovaTouch and Topre Realforce keyboards.

Are there any other notable brands out there? Preferrably looking to get an 88 TKL board but full size is fine too. So, any suggestions?

>Budget
100-150 euro
>Location
germany
>Layout
ansi or iso
>Form factor
preferably tkl but 100% is fine too
>Backlight
not needed but would be nice
>Previous/current keyboards
i always liked small minimalistic keyboards

I don't want to go smaller than TKL and I prefer ISO layouts, so I ruled out the HHKB a while ago.

I was replying to this here wasn't I?

Let me give you another reply since you seem to crave them so desperately.

>you also recommended CM
>which has exactly the same issues you are having with logitech, crap in previous keyboards
I'm not sure where you're getting this from. They have two keyboards that suck, the rest of their lineup is just fine and often recommended to people who want a good keyboard with cherry switches at a decent price.

Logitech on the other hand, has made nothing but shit keyboards so far.

ABS keycaps,... except one difference standard last row...
And non-standard stabilizer placement, so you can also forget about both shift keys.
>but since logitech offers replacment, if shine is a problem I can change it anyway
Like I said, if you want to replace thin ABS with more thin ABS, be my guest. Though most people prefer to actually upgrade their keyboard if they're going to spend extra money on it.
>hell I can change all of them except like 4-8 keys
And it'll look atrocious, we had a guy around here just a few weeks ago who got a g610 and a set of WASD keycaps, who then found out that some of the keycaps wouldn't fit due to the aforementioned reasons, he slapped his keycaps on anyway and it was, as you'd expect, an offense to aesthetics. If you want your keyboard to look like shit, feel free to do that too.

>and thats why you got called beta faggot, bet most around you view you like that too

do tell which logitech cherry mx switches keyboards "suck" in comparison to CM cherry keyboards and why do they "suck"?
You got nothing but keyaps argument and as I said multiple times, I dont care about paying $100 for alternative keycaps
and you just rant on and on about keycaps and keycaps
but theres nothing from you about actual build quality or something else that would justify you saying that logitech cherry mx keyboards suck...
because you seem unable or unwilling to wrap your head around the fact that not everyone is spending days of their life in threads about MK and change their keycaps every other week to different rainbow flag

To wrap it all up with you
You object to logitech g610, because keycaps over the years will likely develop a slight shine.
thats where you are with your argument right now as I see it

>And it'll look atrocious
not necessarily, shades of different color for alphabet and leaving bottom keys... I could see it fine if I cared, you are grasping

>How old are you anon? Not only is your English shit, you also seem to lack an understanding of punctuation and you resort to calling people "beta faggots" on an anonymous imageboard over an argument about keyboards.
I called you beta faggot not over keyboards argument, but because you acted like beta faggot
now you whine about it, which is what beta faggot would do

Can you autists stop arguing and just post thicc pbt keycaps already?

non-standard bottom row.

Any mechanical keyboard with mx-style switches that isn't a korean custom or some vintage cherry board or otherwise comes with stock keycaps that aren't shit thin ABS, that uses a non-standard layout which makes it incompatible with almost all aftermarket keycap sets, sucks.
Because shit-thin ABS sucks.

It's that simple.
Like I told you multiple times already, you'll probably be happy with the g610. You're asking a thread about keyboards, so naturally you'll be arguing with keyboard enthusiasts. From an enthusiast standpoint, every logitech keyboard to date sucks.
There's better alternatives available which do not have this problem.
That's what I've been telling your illiterate ass the entire time already.

I own a MasterKeys Pro S. Really love it to death. You don't need drivers, and the build quality is really solid. The only downside I'd give it would be the CoolerMaster logo on the WinKeys, but you can just get custom keycaps and solve it, specially since it has a standard layout so finding custom caps are easy.

>>57217938
So I ordered a Roccat Ryos MK Pro a few weeks ago and I'm thoroughly enjoying my experience with it. I can't put into words exactly what it is but the feel of typing on this keyboard far surpasses anything I've ever had before. Now this has got me wondering, I didn't put a whole lot of thought into this, I just found something that was recommended by a few review sites and happened to be available at a price I was willing to pay, but surely this isn't the best possible typing experience out there. Do I want to go down this rabbit hole? I don't see myself having any need for a much better keyboard anyway, but knowing that the possibility exists now, it's too tempting.

What should I be looking to now?

Anyone ever ordered chink wrist rests? Thinking about picking up one of those: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-Wooden-Mechanical-Keyboard-Wrist-Rest-Pad-Wrist-Support-Hand-Pad-For-Mechanical-Keyboard-Black/32660809691.html

I wonder if any of y'all could give me some advice.

I'm looking into getting my first non-basic bitch mechanical, and I've pretty much narrowed it down to either the Leopold FC660M or the Clueboard.

Does anyone have any experience with either?

Does anyone think it'd be dumb to attempt to put together the Clueboard as a baby's first non 100?

I just like the idea of making the keyboard all by myself, and then flashing it however I want. But I guess if it ever breaks, then it's also on me.
