Does anyone actually like staggering?

Maybe I'm too much of a gamer not enough of a typist, but the staggering of the zxc row makes it really fucking annoying and difficult to hit keys like z and x while keeping some of your fingers on movement keys.

>>57734746
>I have the feeling it's clears, but I still don't know.

won't but then again you'll want to buy caps

where can i get i caps for my model m?

>>57734762
That seems like a good option. Either way, I won't spend more than 20 or 30 bucks to find out my favorite switch before investing on a >100$ keyboard.

When I'm sure of my favorite switch, I might even spend up to 200. I trust that a keyboard on this price bracket will last a long time, am I correct?

Hey guys, the "B" key on my zalman k500 acts weird. Sometimes it works and sometimes id doesnt. I already tried to blow with a can of compressed air thinking it might have some dust in the switch but no luck. It doesnt look like anything is bad on the pcb. Could it be a cold solder?

>>57734851
>I trust that a keyboard on this price bracket will last a long time, am I correct?

cheap chink keyboards from the 90s still work.

if anything, it's easier for a membrane keyboard to live long (although the cup rubbers become mushy) than a mech.

with all those mechanical parts, the risk of a switch giving up is almost sure within 10 years

>>57734896
That's why I'm really cautious about buying an expensive keyboard. They all die at some point, might as well buy a decent 60-80€ keyboard that lasts me maybe 6 years than spend 300€ for something that doesn't get to be 10.

how the hell do you faggots decide on switch type?

do you just take the plunge on a keyboard and convince yourself you love the switch?

I can't decide between clears and nature whites, I've only ever tried blues.

I might end up getting that topre rgb if it ever comes back in stock

>>57735045

>They have to have some good aspects.
Such as? The more expensive price? the increase in wobble? I don't think they're necessarily bad, and I enjoy using them, but when you can have something better for cheaper there's no reason to buy them.

The only thing I could think of is the convenience of not having to mod the switch, but if you're custom building a keyboard I don't know why that would be a problem anyway.

Let's look at the costs:
- 10 pack of x10 Cherry Clear switches = $50.00
- 100x Cherry MX 24K Gold Plated Springs = $19.00
- Free shipping (depends on location, and where you are ordering.)
Total: $69.00

- (Pre-Order) R4 Purple Zealios x100 = $100.00
- Shipping = $15 at least
Total: $115.00

Got a couple questions mates.

1. Do Cherry Brown switches feel different to Blues?

2. If so, is it because it's mechanically impossible to replicate the Blue's feel without also including the mechanism which produces the click, or are their differences in feeling an active choice by Cherry?

>>57733712
I've used one since 2014.
The legends still bother me.
I wouldn't go back to unmodded Cherry but I am considering one of those 20th Anniversery HHKBs or a Realforce.

I have a Pro JP Type-S but the layout is the same as pic related.
Many keys are like the 2 key; they have a legend that does not match what the key does.
pic related is about the legends
It is possible in keyboard settings in Windows to change this so that shift+2 makes " but I prefer the ANSI layout.
The 2 key matches the Japanese 101/102 layout in legends.

How to make the legends match in Windows 10 (meme edition), but I wouldn't do it.
1. search for "change input methods"
2. options
3. add an input method
4. japanese
you are done
When your computer restarts it will default to the ANSI (or whatever layout you were using previously) so if you delete the ANSI one it will make the Japanese one default.
You can add the ANSI one after deleting it and when your machine restarts so you can swap between the two layouts but the JIS/102 key layout will be default.

On pfu site there's only a bunch of dust covers and the Bluetooth one for the 20th anniversary.

Absolutely. I can't compare it to other chinaboards since it's the only one I had my hands on, but it's a solid keyboard. Doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles such as full programmability or fancy-ass lighting, but for a basic keyboard with a comfy layout, it's a very good choice.

1. Yes.
2. Conscious choice. Like sand in Reds. If you want blue without the noise, clears are a good alternative. There is still a good amount of noise, however. If you want really quiet, you can go with Matias Quiet Clicks, or go linear with Reds. I am currently using an HHKB and have modded it with dental bands in the past and it was nearly silent.

>>57739140
so far, no. Though I've only given it three tries so far. I feel like it'd be easier to just 3D print a mold and to cast your keycaps instead since getting tolerances right with the inside of the stems hasn't worked out very well so far.

That being said, I'll try some more stuff once my ABS filament arrives tomorrow. I feel like it should be possible, at worst with some after-printing finishing on the stem.
Expect to see preliminary results over the next few days.

>>57739177
Never heard that one before. The only thing that was different was that the key caps were a bit taller on my mechanical keyboard then my rubber dome one, but it took me like a day to get used to it. What previous keyboard were you using since and what mechanical keyboard did you get?

>>57739140
It's like 3d printing lego. It's shit. 3d printers are a long ways from being able to produce that kind of quality. At least commercially.

Anyone here know much about/ever used a zowie celeritas keyboard?

Looking for a black board with cherry reds and this one is only $122AUD. Cheapest is a coolermaster for $109AUD but not sure on the quality of either board.

Previously had a filco majestouch w/ reds that wore out over the course of 2 years or so, and a leopold with browns that did the same, looking for red switches and prefer full format, tried TKL and don't like not having the numpad despite it fitting on my desk easier. Lights not necessary, I can touch type and don't game in the dark.

Current board is a ducky one TKL with cherry greens. Want to make the swap back to reds. This board is great for typing, but for gaming it's distracting and too stiff.

fuck you hivemind cum/g/arglers, mx Brown has its purpose as the babby's first mechanical switch for people coming from years of exclusive rubber dome use.

There were demands from consumers as early as 1992 whom found the clicky noise of the mx Blue obnoxious and its higher tactility too fatiguing for long work sessions.

Fuck, I don't have enough money in the bank, that's why I wanted to wait for the keyboard on amazon, I wish I knew before :(

I've used a model M for years, but I'd like to treat myself to something new and nice (and USB). I'm thinking about using WASDkeyboards to order something custom, does anyone have experience with them?

From my googling it looks like Cherry Green is most like the feel of a model M, can anyone attest to that?

>>57744483
cherry switches don't feel very much like buckling springs. the greens are probably the closest you will get, but it's not going to feel like your model m

the wasdkeyboards are pretty decent keyboards, but their keycaps aren't the greatest. you do get custom printing, but they're cheap ABS plastic that wears off quickly. if you're looking to get one of their keyboards, it's better to order a barebones board and get nicer caps from elsewhere

also if you just want a new keyboard that's similar to your current keyboard, why not get a new unicomp model m? they have usb and are fairly priced

>>57744483
the problem is that buckling springs are the only switch in witch the tactile and clicky feedback happen at the exact moment of actuation. No other switch does this, but if you want you can get really tactile and clicky switches like matias and greens. The other thing is that your model M has some of the best keycaps ever made on a modern keyboard. As for wasd, they use some really cheap printing and it wears out easily (pic related). If you like their looks then get a barebones one and replace the keycaps with something similar in quality to yours. Ideally thick PBT dye-sub would be the closest, but doubleshot ABS is fine

>>57744973
Maybe because the popularity of the "clicky" noise of the blues? And that many youtubers use blues or atleast talk about them, I guess it could be about the band wagon hate than actually preference

>>57744821

Honestly I hate the Unicomp branding so much.

Should I get o rings and what do the different types do. Is bottoming out bad for the switch? I love hammering down on keys but it's loud

>>57744841
Those are IBM rubber domes, not mechanical. The ideal switch for you then is a Topre or their clones, but good luck finding any of those for 50 bucks. For cheap 60% mechanical keyboard your only options are the Chinese. there is a black friday deal on mechanicalkeyboards on the rk61, which is also bluetooth and around 50 bucks. You also have the magiforce 68 on amazon

>>57745140
o rings help dampen the down stroke. The thicker they are the more the dampen. There are also harder and softer ones if you feel like bottoming out is hurting your fingers

>>57744973
People hate browns because their tactility is so low pressing them with any decent amount of force makes them feel like badly made reds. There's a reason enthusiasts started taking clears and putting weaker springs in them instead of using browns.

WASD has a nrw coating on their caps. It lasts for a over a year at least now.

My BFF has been gaming heavily on his and they look brand new still.

>>57745137
they also sell new LED overlays that you could use to replace the branding

good night /mkg/

Blues feel like fucking shit honestly, they aren't very good for typing.

>>57745222
They feel much better than the Blues honestly, the Blues feel to heavy for quick typing.

>>57745551
Good night mate

>>57745590
Is there a strawpoll on what is more popular? I keep going back and forth with brown and blues
>being a retard band wagon hopper
>it's like I want to be meme'd

>>57745705
Yea a lot of people say Browns suck when they have probably never even fucking used one.
We should probably do a survey to see what switch is the most popular.

>>57745717
Especially when fags like me don't want to spend $15 for a switch tester

>>57745590
If it's light and easy you want, get reds. They're basically browns without the speedbumps. Or get Gateron clears, which are reds that are even lighter.

>>57745185
What would be the next best thing in Cherry, then? Blacks? I don't like keys that are super easy to press or trigger and I don't like added noise.

>>57734200
it looks good but that bezel is gigantic
also >$120 for 10 keys

>>57745760
Granted I have no idea how heavy Black is. I just know most of the mechanical gaymen keyboards I've tried are too light for me.

>>57745760
Blacks are the most produced mechanical switch, they even come on our cash registers. But since you want a 60% finding one for 50 bucks is hard. There was a Magiforce 68 on mass drop with blacks for that price some time ago, but looks like your gonna have to look through the chink websites, maybe try >>>/g/csg
>>57745772
blacks are linear, have a similar actuation force to rubber domes and offer no tactile feedback, unlike rubberdomes which have some tactility.

>>57745590
>says Blues are too heavy to type quickly
>tfw they're way too light for me, keep accidentally actuating them
Are you a slender femboi?

>>57734672
dude u got fucking nice taste take my updoot

>>57745736
It's better to actually try a keyboard with a certain switch, one switch is pointless.

>>57745742
I don't want it to be that light, Browns feel perfect for me honestly. Not like you faggots said '' Feels like there is dirt in the keys''

>>57745860
No I can use them, I just don't like them. I mistype a lot and it just feels weird as fuck, with Browns I feel comfortable and they feel great.

Gateron browns are good right

>>57745926
They're the better Cherry Browns

>>57745926
I don't know why not try it out. Everyone has their opinions. That being said Gateron switches are smoother then Cherry switches.

>>57745945
>Gateron will never produce their Cherry Clear clones again
>Have to deal with zealios

>>57745963
let's see how people feel about mod switches when they get them. that might be a good substitude

Do any of you collect mechanical keyboards or just have a bunch of them with different switches and shit?

Is it a feasible thing to do?

I would like to start getting more and more mechanical keyboards and switching them up every few months.

Was thinking about getting a Magicforce 68 but the FN key in the place of ALT is really throwing me off.
Can I swap them with ahk or something?

ALPS

>>57746115
oh wow, that's hideous

>>57745815
If I want the tactility should I go with Clears then?

Been thinking about getting this for my first experience with mechanical keyboards, what am I into?

>>57746092
yea, see seiden.faggot's pics >>57740256

plenty of people who own multiple keyboards. it will be a huge loss of money though so be smart about it

>>57746274
Shit forgot link: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1775

>>57746210
ya but it was on sale and its a real gaymer keyboard for gayming.

Why shouldn't I get this fake topre

>>57746092
Nothing stopping you from collecting. Pre 90s keyboards do have limitations. 5-pin DIN, RJ45, or serial connectors are pretty much incompatible with modern computers. Sometimes adapters may work. Another big one being windows keys usually being absent.

>>57746287
the v60 is nice, i have one but remember those are alps switches not cherry
may be hard to find alps keycaps

>>57746332
Is it smooth like Gaterons?

>>57746348
i dont know ive never used a board with alps
someone here can tell you that
deskthority says they are clicky switches, nothing on the smoothness

>>57745860

I am a 48 kilo "man" with dainty girly hands, and even greens are too light for me.

>>57746389

Washed my Novatouch TKL keys :^( waiting for them to dry, using my MX Clear Magicforce.

Did Cherry shit always feel this wobbly and gritty? Topre seriously spoiled me.

>>57746300
>https://www.aliexpress.com/item/happy-chinking-keyboard/32737960095.html
The chink topre's silencing O rings kinda kill the Topre feel. Much better when you remove them, at least for Royal Kludge RC930's idk about the ones you linked. Give it a shot senpai, what's the worst it could be.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/magicforce-82-key-mechanical-keyboard?referer=V96YBX

should i get this one?
shipping is pretty late tho

>>57747312
Typing on one right now, the one that I got at least the caps feel kinda shitty. Would recommend getting some thick PBT caps. Overall the keyboards build quality is okayish, it's very lightweight which makes it feel a bit flimsy.

Also worth figuring out what kind of switches it has, if it has gaterons or cherry then that's not a bad price if it's Kailh shit I'd keep looking.

>>57747356
you can get it with gaterons or cherry
4 colors

not sure if i should get one honestly especially since my entire pc setup is black

>>57747312
>Estimated ship date is Mar 3, 2017.

Ahahahahahahah

This on massdrop means June and with the wrong switch

>>57747584
im not buying it then

>>57736171
is that just a USB to Micro USB? does it work?

>>57748125
Google "USB OTG cable".

this is so terrible

after spending 3 workshifts to find a mechanical keyboard that doesnt look shit and i can afford i realized that its hopeless

>Budget
30-80$, the lower the better, shipping is a lot
>Location (continent at least)
yurop
>Preferred switch type
brown cherry or gateron, prob gateron is better
>Layout
ANSI, US or UK doesnt matter
>Form factor
TKL, blank with no wrist holder or whatever, so no rounded bottom edge if you know what i mean
>Backlight
would be nice but its whatever

please, link me something
im giving up at this point

your only option,
expecially with gaterons (cherry are old scratchy shit, don't bother) is the memeforce 68


there's also in black btw

>>57748359
could you tell me where i can get it from? aliexpress? they have really low order numbers so im a bit scared to spend money there

i usually order 5 dollar junk from china or anything below because i dont care if that gets lost or damaged

>>57748398
it's 40-80 bucks on amazon depending on switch.

I'm ordering a 59€ gateron clear as we speak to have fun
(i have and love a hhkb)

>>57748407
is clear better than brown, i have never had a mechanical keyboard before but i heard brown is safe to go with

>>57748429
>is clear better than brown
mx clear is 55g tactile (better and heavier than brown, yes)

gateron clear is 35g linear, they activate if you look at them hard enough basically
