>tfw fell for the "tfw fell for the x meme" meme

Aren't they loud as fuck?

>>57906737
Ah but thats what makes them satisfying! And the tactile feel.

>>57906737
It depends on the switches you use.

>>57906737
They're horribly flimsy for the price

>>57906737
Louder than a typewriter. Comparable to firing a machine gun.

They are? My WASD V2 weighs like 3 pounds and feels as sturdy as some oak lol

I've got two mechanical TKL keyboards, one with blue switches (home), one with brown (work). Love them both to bits. Never touching a rubber dome keyboard again if I can help it.

>>57906905
Look up XMIT Hall Effect keyboards. They're the only brand I've heard of that's truly waterproof.

I got a really good deal on a TKL MX Blue keyboard (£30), but I don't use it.

After half a year, the novelty wore off and I realised I prefer the even smaller, £10 rubber dome. Mostly, it's because the keys sit lower and there is less travel. (Yes, I know o-rings exist.)

I lost a Corsair K70 when my wife spilt red wine. Had to rip apart the stickers to get into it (awful design, Corsair), and I still couldn't get two of the keys to stop feeling tacky.

Then I replaced it with a Ducky Shine Zero TKL, and loved it.

After using a good scissor switch (Thinkpad), I would never go back to clacky mechanical garbage with Xbox HUEG travel.

>>57906667
tfw you bought something without trying it first...

I got sick of my TKL with blues pretty quick, but I've been using my Poker 3 with clears for a while and love it.

Stock clears are perfect desu

me too bro
me too

>>57906809
yeah the keys are wobbly as fuck.

tried ducky shine 4 and corsair k70 lux.

I bought a Rosewill RK-9000V2 with Brown Switches and it is fucking great! What a massive upgrade from a shitty Cooler Master Devastator keyboard that I had.

They are not a fucking meme.

Tfw trying to bait with the "tfw fell for the _ meme" in 2016

>>57906809
How about try one that isn't dog shit. I've used plenty of mech keyboards that are sturdy as an oak tree.

>>57908477
The keys do feel cheap as fuck thanks to that annoying wobble they have

Fuck-sakes I'll never even remotely begin to comprehend when so-called technologists, or "programmers" especially, refuse to get through their thick autistic skulls that if you at all want to be taken seriously you are supposed to invest in your rig, and graduate beyond the "DERP, mommy gave me my first PC, what do I do now?" phase.

>>57906737
I'm not an expert on switches but aren't there some quiet ones that are still decently tactile?

Proper coding is not done on "MUH TENKEYLESS SUPER H4XX0R BOARD" but on Dell keyboards and company-issued thinkpads.

What you're doing is nothing but following a cargo cult: "I need a mechanical 500 Dorrar keyboard with 30 sublevels and shortcuts so I can program my web app in PHP"

Dell and HP workstations are still state of the art in serious companies. You can """program""" ruby at starbucks on your macbook connected to a folding mechanic blank keycapped mx blue board all you want, ese. Won't make you a proper developer of anything but your shitty github scripts.

>>57908717
yea, keep working for the man, SUCKER BITCH.
The tactile response and precise actuation force improves my typing accuracy by such a margin over yours as to render the entirety of your "career" nothing more than a baby's drool on some construction paper, compared to mine.

>tfw paid to write code 8 hours a day on a Microsoft keyboard that's at least a decade old
I'd love to bring in a mech but security is insane. Can't even have my phone with me.

So I had a nice mx brown ducky at home but I found switching back at work made me fuck up due to the pressure difference. Eventually I gave the ducky to a friend and went back to a membrane $5 keyboard at home too.

Kinda sad but i do otherwise like my job.

cherry brown switches aren't too loud, a good balance of feel and noise

I've tried different keyboards with different cherry switches.
I always come back to my oldest one, a plain old SS 6GV2 with Black switches.
The fact that typing on it feels like the day I got it 5 or 6 years ago, and that the clicky switches are more satisfying than any old rubber dome board, justifies the mechanical keyboard markup.

You can keep your fancy switches and meme LEDs

Fell for? I've got some MX Cherry Blues on my keyboard and I fucken love them. They sound great, feel great, and as a bonus the keyboard is pretty good looking in my opinion.

I do, however, keep a PS/2 keyboard at my desk in case I need to rifle through the BIOS or something.

>>57908653
aha, I use that same keyboard at the office

>>57906667
i love my keyboard

>>57908565
I bought a chink mechanical. It's fucking horrible. It has kailh reds, feels mushy as fuck and the keys are too tall. Build is really sturdy, but the typing experience is utter shit.

I'd be willing to try something like topre, but giving over 200$ for a keyboard is, objectively and without discussion, a MEME. It would have to be absolutely PERFECT to have that value, and I really have my doubts.

So yeah, mechanical is shit. Rubber might still be saved.

>>57906781
Nah man. I'd take the civilized scissor switch.
