To use it on my phone and tablet without having to fuck around with USB adapters, my Pok3r only works on my tablet if I hook it up to a powered USB hub which looks absolutely retarded

I want to invest in a nice mech since I use a k70 but I want something that has a USB passthrough port on the top so I can run my mouse into it.

What are my options for something like that?

My ducky shine 5 browns came in today but it did not include a USB cable. What gives?

>>57254536
That's fucking evil. When I got my Ducky it came with one. Though mine wasn't detachable or anything, so maybe they aren't included in the ones with detachable cords?

Still sucks.

>>57254487

get PBT keycaps. You can find them on aliexpress or ebay for like 40 bucks. I would recommend dye-sub PBT since the legends are permanent, but those are more expensive

>>57254579
My trampstamp era k70 seems to be holding up so far, hopefully it'll last long enough to save up for the ducky or similar.

>>57254817
The shine 6 comes with double shot PBT keycaps. It the first time ducky tries something like this so hopefully they don't mess it up. The jump in build quality compared to the shine 5 is gonna be very costly for us. I expect it to sell for much more then the shine 5

it's a programmable anykey model. it's not mechanical if that's what you're wondering. I can reprogram any key to function as any other key on the board, as well as program macros onto single keys, which is what the F-keys on the left are generally meant for. it has built-in macros for the diagonal arrow keys, which function the same as pushing both associated horizontal/vertical keys simultaneously. I have no idea what the blank button in the center of them is set to, maybe space?

desu that's only half the reason I bought it, the other half is the aesthetic.

MX Reds or Green?

I've only used razer greens which is just MX blues, they were alright I guess but had double tap issues eventually that made them useless for gaming. Not even hundered percent as I don't really care about mechanical keyboards, but I kind of want a smaller one

Reds

>>57256577
Reds are linear (no click/bump at all) and very light.
Greens are similar to what you had before, but heavier.

Pick whichever appeals to you most.

>>57256621
This is worse than buying a phone, I have a keyboard test kit, the reds seem nice since it's silent with no blump

too many damned choices

>>57256651
I went for browns, because babby's first switch. A friend of mine went with reds, and I have used Razer greens (Cherry blue clone) as well.
I personally like the tactile feedback (bump or click) and frequently make typos on reds. Probably a matter of getting used to it though.

Another option would be blacks, since they're just heavier reds. Just as smooth, quiet and no bump, but a bit more force needed to get them to activate.

>>57256748
Was gunning for blacks, but there's none that are particularly cheap like those cooler master boards

>>57256790
Ducky One maybe? Available with or without backlight, in a whole variety of colors and switch types and relatively affordable. Nice slim bezel, too.

>>57256790
>but there's none that are particularly cheap

>>57257683
Oh I wasn't referring to the muscle memory issues this brings about. Since I can't rearrange the the order of those four keys, it throws off my ability to input keyboard shortcuts without looking down. I'll try to explain it better.

The layout of the bottom row of my MacBook keyboard (left to right) goes
>FN, CTRL, OPT, CMD, space, CMD, OPT

With Karabiner I could reassign the key order of my external keyboard so they matched my MacBook. This means it would be practically identical to type on my MacBook and my external keyboard.

Without Karabiner, the order of the bottom row of my external keyboard now goes
>CTRL, CMD, OPT, space, OPT, CMD, FN, CTRL

I need to be able to flip the CMD (Windows) and OPT (Alt) keys on my external keyboard so I don't keep fucking up my shortcuts. Unfortunately I can't do that while the key binding programs are broken.

Thinking about buying this winkeyless clone, thoughts?

I wasn't too enthusiastic about the feeling but they started reminding me of buckling springs without the loud noise. Very tactile but not as heavy, quite nice to type on.

Trust me, you're going to be getting some PBT keycaps down the road, because PBT and light linear switches are a match made in heaven.

Totally ruins the feel of Reds. If they are too loud, learn to not bottom them out.

>>57259264
>PBT keycaps
What is even the difference? why would I spend like $60 to change out my keycaps?

>>57254405

>>57259119
has a number pad that switches to the other keys when numpad is off, still compact as well

>>57259379

PBT is a denser and tougher plastic than ABS. PBT feels "meatier" in use, if that makes any sense. Bottoming out is less jarring. The keycap texturing also doesn't wear off so the caps don't turn all shiny like ABS does. Also white/beige PBT doesn't turn piss yellow with age.

6 keys are the wrong size or from different sets because those fuckers at pimpmykeyboard sent me 6 less caps than I ordered and I'm waiting on the replacement set of 10 they've got in the mail right now.

In retrospect, I wouldn't recommend anyone get a corsair because of the nonstandard bottom row, but you can still get caps for it if you're determined.

Speaking of cheap keyboards, what models should I be looking at for mechanicals in the sub-$100 range?

>>57263359
Rosewill, Magiforce, Tomoko.
If you go onto massdrop there are a couple for 60-80 bucks if you dont mind waiting

>>57263061
Some one on /mkg/ filed down the keys to fit his k70.

It's not inconceivable. you could easily file down a 1.5 to a 1.25, and those are the only tricky keys on the thing

Is there a pattern this is called? Apart from the Ducky logo those look just like the Tai Hao PBT doubleshot sets, and lots of others besides.

Also I bought a set of just-mentioned Tao Hao PBT Doubleshots. They have some kind of coating that people remove. Why does Tai-Hao coat caps?

mine (the red caps) uses a standard 6, you just have to make a tiny modification to the actual cap and it will fit just fine.

What I did was remove all the portions in red with an x-acto knife being careful to leave the outermost bracket intact, if you do it correctly it will latch the outside portion of the bracket on the keycap to the inside portion of the stabilizer.

I am considering getting a 6.5 just for an exact fit, but since PMK isn't selling any 6.5s in the color code I like I'll probably just keep the 6.

>>57263772
yeah it's deliberate, i saw others doing it and tried it out. seems more comfortable as it bring the spacebar that little bit closer to my thumbs.

>>57263790

That pattern is classic and its dye-sub PBT not doubleshot. The nice thing about dyesub is that the dye is burned into the keycap becoming a permenant part of it. It also has the nice effect that you cant feel the printing.
I wouldnt recommend taihao doubleshot because of the sticky coating they use

Thanks. I've been reading about the coating. Just about all the group buys request that Tai Hao withhold it, but they keep pushing it hard, even refusing to sell some sets without the coating. Nobody wants the coating despite Tai Hao's insistence.

Luckily it seems to come off with an alcohol dip so that's probably what I'll do right off the bat.

>>57268849
Put it in the correct way. It's backwards.

>>57269030
The fuck do you mean its backwards

Please, I just want something kind of quiet that feels good to press. I hear clears are pretty quiet, but I hear they aren't as satisfying to press as Blues. I also prefer to have the keys labeled on the sides rather than the tops because fingers and all.

Please help me.

If you want a backlit TKL clear then this is your only choice

>>57272267
You're not going to get a backlit keyboard with side printed caps (stock), just saiyan. That said you could probably find a PBT set and slap it onto this. Also, clears are considerably more tactile than blues/greens.

Any ideas where I can find them in stock? They don't necessarily have to be 87 Keys obviously. I am a bit new to this whole thing if you can't tell.

>>57273180
Backlighting and having side printed caps are mutually exclusive. Pick one or the other.

>>57273201
So what about without backlighting but with clears and side print?

>>57273229
it won't work

>>57273229
There aren't any that I can think of that come with clears & side printed caps stock (may just be not remembering some). You could buy a side printed thick PBT set and put it on whatever board you like.

>>57253614
what keyboard is this?

>>57273143
Here is my problem with WASD. Their bare bones keyboards are actually pretty good. The problem however is that they use one of the worst keycaps you can get. Ducky sells backlight keyboards with clears for less and has better build quality. Ducky's doubleshot ABS is on another level compared to the laser etched keycaps that wasd uses. If you want one then buy it without the keycpas then get some better ones for like 20-30 bucks off massdrop or ebay

E-Eagle , E-Eagle or whatever they call themselves now. You can find them on amazon for 40-60 bucks

Got a Logitech G710 on discount, it's alright for a cherry blue. Not a fan of the aesthetics, but it's comfortable to use and I frequently use the media keys.

Thinking about getting one of those USB Model Ms from pckeyboards.com, if only because ebayfags charge an arm and a leg for classic serial ones.

>>57273737
Its funny I got my model M way back when they weren't all that popular for 60 bucks. Its one of the first grey badge ones, but now if you want one in the same serial number and condition you'd have to pay $100+

How are gateron keycaps? I'm tired of the feeling of my shiny keycaps and I've decided to fall for the PBT meme. Two small problems though, my keyboard is 108 keys and most keycap sets absolutely hideous, expensive, or both so I'm considering getting this blank set.

Got a link to the specific ducky you are talking about? I thought the only one they had that was smaller was the mini. I could be wrong though, like I said, new to this.

Gateron are one of the few companies that make cherry profile PBT the others being NPKC and Vortex and they are all pretty good. Cherry keys have a lower profile compared to the OEMs on what I'm guessing is either a Ducky or a re-branded Ducky.
If you don't like the extra 4 keys over the num pad you could cover them up
http://pimpmykeyboard.com/flat-keys/

>>57274171
Alright, thanks. I'm actually quite fond of the keys above the numpad, the programs they default to are useful enough that I haven't looked into seeing if I can change them.

How is the Vortex POK3R RGB?

Specifically the POK3R?

>>57257580
some people put them on upside down and I guess it makes them easier to hit

>>57275366

Your posture would have to be pretty awful for your thumb to be coming down on the spacebar at that angle.
