Can you stop with the itoddler keyboards please.

Anyone have experience making keycaps from molds? I've heard you can use resin and certain hardening materials, but I have only just begun researching. Is it feasible?

Also, I'm assuming it will only result on blank keycaps, unless you have some method of "printing" the letters/symbols (spray, drawn by hand kek)

>>57750929
Making quality keycaps is exactly like making lego. It's expensive, time consuming, and hobbiest methods always fail.

Unless diy abs injection pumps have become cheap.

>>57750956
3d printing can produce some really solid pieces, but I'm not sure about the scale of a keycap.

An anon is trying in this thread but with poor results

Something about tolerance (?)

>>57750972
I haven't seen a 3d printer make a decent lego from a consumer machine yet.

You do know 3d printers generally wont make solid pieces also? Matters for backlit keys.

>>57750993
>You do know 3d printers generally wont make solid pieces also? Matters for backlit keys.

Sorry, didn't get that. Are you talking about double shot/transparent?

>>57751062
3D Printers print hollow pieces if they can.

>>57751078
Oh I know, but it doesn't matter for a keycap because it's not gonna have volume (apart from the obvious hollow part with the stem). Yes, if the piece is completely solid it can have a varying amount of filling.

>>57751031
It retroamuses me

Hey anon. I'm really new to all the mechanical keyboard meme, but now I'm considering to buy one cause I hate my razer keyboard. What keyboard you would suggest with this features:
1. Mate keycaps that don't go shiny after long usage.
2. Being useful for programming, and vim. (without numpad)
3. Shway stealth haxxor look.
4. No backlit.
5. Reasonable price.
6. Wireless (optional).
7. No clicking noise, medium weight.
8. Keys are not flimsy and wobbly.
9. /g/ approved hardware.

I use a pok3r. Is there an adapter I can buy that makes it wireless? I would like to hook it up to my laptop and sit from a distance without a cable.

>>57751263
Hhkb is a dream but it a bit overpriced. I guess because it's japan made.
Code keyboard is cool, maybe I'll go after that. What switches should I get? Never used mechanical keyboards before.

>>57751432
Based on your reqs i suggested the code for the mx clears.

I wonder if they have a keyboard where there are only a few keys (WASD + a few more action buttons) for gaming only

>>57751564
that sounds extremely retarded

>>57750814
that case is gorgeous

>>57751527
Damn, I wish there was just a small simple adapter.

>>57751564
Go to that polish website and get half of an Ergodox.

Or Razer sells a thing exactly like that.

>>57751564
Razer

>>57751564
That already exists. I know razer and logitech has one. It's only really useful for lan parties since it doesn't take up too much space. But It's annoying not being able to type because of the lack of full size keyboard.

Currently deciding whether or not I should pull the trigger on an HHKB now or wait for the whitefox to become available on massdrop again. What do you think /mkg/?

I think the Whitefox offers nothing you can't get from an RS68 or Tada68 for cheaper.

>>57751629

not worth it and someone even says it ruins the topre feel ever so slightly

is this a joke?

>>57751251
>>57751263
>>57751432
The Code comes with those awful WASD keycaps that shine in about an hour, but you can get a TKL WASD V2 with Vortex PBT caps, or order the bare bones version and put your own caps on.

If you want wireless, Varmilo makes some of that nonsense. I think there's one on Massdrop now.

The problem is not the adapter, it's the battery

>>57751753
And a Whitefox with caps and switches was almost $300 last drop, what's your point?

>>57751846
I am not the whitefox guy

>>57751598
I'm actually tempted by that half an Ergodox thing, someone talk me into either not doing it or going full hog and getting a complete one

>>57751862
You might as well just get a whole ergodox m8. Then when you want to use it for vidya you can move one half over. I think the infinity ergodox has a teensy in each half, so you could plug in whatever half you wanted and it would still function on its own.

>>57751859
That's about what an RS68 from a Western retailer runs, I paid about $180 for my one on Massdrop with Cherry clears included and no caps.

>>57751901
Isn't the Infinity the one sold by Massdrop with a lot of issues?

>>57751926
>lot of issues
First I've heard of it. You could also get the original ergodox kit from falbatech. Plugging in one hand of the original would only work with the half that has the teensy in it though. So you'd have to just physically move it to the side while still plugged in.

>>57751953

hey that's my keyboard

which leads to my question

these keycaps suck for typing and gaming. hard on my finger tips, loud, standard keyboard key shapes, not ergonomic or anything. love the gateron blacks though.

any keycap sets for gaming? or softer plastic that doesn't negatively affect me at all?

getting 16 switches wouldn't cost much, and I'm sorry for you if you don't know how to solder.

that has 10 switches, and an uglier, less functional case

I don't even know who the RAMA pad could even be for. It's worse than a standalone numpad, and it's worse than a small macropad like this: http://techkeys.us/products/sixkeyboard

>>57754023
It's perfect for what I currently use a stand-alone number pad for, which is as a macro pad for photoshop shortcuts. I do need a 3x3 area of keys at least, so those tiny 6 or 8 key pads are never enough. Plus as a matter of taste I like the RAMA case exponentially more than the Van one.

What keyboard is this and what switches is it using?

I'm an engineering student. I use a lot of Greek characters in reports and such, but don't want to get a Greek keyboard because I love my American mech so much. Do you guys think it would be possible to program a keyboard shortcut, say sift+Ctrl+ any letter as Greek characters and use Greek keycaps (or custom caps) to speed up my writing?

Imagine pressing on a somewhat weak spring in a downwards motion, without any other kind of resistance. That's a red switch, and that's exactly how it feels.

Never tried browns, but I guess browns are supposed to feel that way, they have a "tactile bump" which is described by many as a lump of shit.

Try reds if you really want linears, they're pretty cool.

Alright guys you probably get this a lot but

$100
Tenkeyless
Tactile switches with some weight, preferably not too loud
Mostly to be used for general typing

I'm new to mechanical keyboards so a lot of the more nuanced features will probably be lost on me.

Logitech G510

I don't want any gaymer crap, which I know is ironic because I own a G510 but I don't want any of that anymore, just something sleek.

Only one I've found is the Ducky Shine 5 and wondering are there any alternatives for a bong?

>>57759983
All I see them do now is create a really intelligent AI, their technology was amazing back in the day, if they kept going with PCs I'm sure they would have dominated the market

You can get a Filco if you want a no-frills keyboard and for that Made in Japan badge, with excellent build quality.

http://www.keyboardco.com/category.asp?sr=&path=mechanical+keyboards&man=Filco&lan=United+Kingdom&ss=de&rtv=100

You can also go for Unicomp if you want a truly unique typing experience and some of the best build quality you can get on any modern mass produced keyboard
http://www.keyboardco.com/category.asp?sr=&path=mechanical+keyboards&man=Unicomp&lan=United+Kingdom&ss=de&rtv=100

Now if you do want a back light then the shine 5 that you found is a good choice since it is fully programmable, unlike some other RGB keyboards for the same price

well then wither get the set in which the numbers are on top with the rest, or get a keyboard with smd leds since they are brighter, more durable, and have even light distribution.
Even key caps without backlit support can still look god on smd leds. Pic related is an example of a bunch of different keycaps on smd leds

If you can read and write Chinese then there is no need for an agent. The whole point of one is that they buy it from the seller and ship it to you without having to go set up a taobao account and worry if the seller got the shipping right. Also if you want to buy from taobao you have to use their Chinese version of paypal.

Infinity Ergodox is relatively issue free. Except for the useless screns.

>>57751959

Original ergodox would work, but the teensy is on the right hand, not left. You can flip it, but it is a huge pain in the ass.

It'd probably be easier just to print out a dactyl case and hand wire one up.

The ergodox really needs a modernized pcb with dual teensy, rgb underlight, and in switch led support. Ergodox EZ actually sells one with rgb underlighting now, but the price is ridiculous.

The Infinity Ergo would be the go to if not for the terribly gimmicky and useless led screens.

Pic related, one of the better looking ergodox i have seen in these threads. Actually jas a theme and sticks to it, though the underlightning may be a little too much.

There is no situation where a plastic case would fail where an aluminum would survive.

I thought /mkg/ hated artisans and all touch typed so it doesn't matter what's on the cap?

>>57767044
Nobody here uses nor likes artisans

>>57766768
I'd rather have alps switch support without the needless LCDs of the infinity. LEDs are completely unnecessary.

I post every thread but I never ever get a response, I guess I'll try again.

Wanted something a bit more plain and understated, the LED's really are disgusting.

Get a Gon from Korea

Are you just suggesting that because he'll never actually receive a keyboard then?

>>57767420
Would rather a keyboard I can actually buy here, I'm just saying my budget is irrelevant not that I explicitly want to go out and buy the most expensive thing available.

Just want something decent that'll arrive sometime this year.

Just check the subforum on geekhack for him. Nigga isn't responding to customers for y e a r s . Might as well not give your money to a scammer.

ewwwwwww

>>57767783
Apparently someone who bought a 60% pcb from him in August just got it. So I guess of you order the simp0le stuff it can get to you relatively fast

>>57768174
I honestly don't know why he doesn't just do assembled keyboards on a commission basis rather than selling it as a consistent service. And I especially don't get why this is considered fucking acceptable by shitters like Geekhack.

I got one. I dont really use it. It doesnt feel high quality but it doesnt feel bad. Keycaps feel pretty good but i dont know about font longevity. Perfect size. Cant really figure out any of the modifier stuff cuz its in chinese. The first time I disconnected it from my PCs USB the casing on the end of the cord poped off cuz chink quality. Its better than the first poker but a pok3r is probably better but the nano has real F-keys.
