Some sets might pop up on ebay, but they were from assdrop last month. You can bet Tai Hao will keep pumping out more sets though, keep watching. Or petition to re-drop that set.

Do any of you recommend a certain set of keycaps for a Vortex Pok3r keyboard, preferably PBT? I'm waiting for the thing to ship and have decided to stop by and hear some suggestions from you /g/uys.

Yo I just got my first mechanical keyboard and the blues are too fucking loud. Should I take a gamble on some key dampeners or just return it and get a brown? How well do key dampeners work?

>>58439493
I don't see why you'd get clicky switches if you're concerned about noise, but o-rings won't help dampen them since the mechanism that makes the noise is inside the switch.

Browns feel like shit. Don't get those. Get clears if you want tactile cherry that doesn't make unnecessary noise

>>58439513
I wasn't concerned about noise until I actually got the thing and realized that it's way louder than I anticipated. But I'll check out clears then. Thanks for the help.

Where do you fags get your non-standard weight springs?

>>58439482

>Layout
ANSI
>Form factor
TKL, just no numpad basically since I want more room on the right
>Backlight
RGB that provides some SDK allowing me to change colors from a PC program would be great; if that's not an option, having a brightness-adjustable backlight would be nice but not required, it's not a top priority
>Previous/current keyboards
QPAD MK-80 with MX Blues, currently using it at home but would like to get rid of the numpad
Cherry brand MX Clear keyboard at work, forgot the exact model

I've been looking around myself and the only thing that could fit my ideal case was a Masterkeys Pro S with MX Blues, but I can't find it anywhere, just Browns which I've tried and don't particularly like as they don't have enough tactile feedback for me. I'd love to hear about some models which would fit the bill at least, the only things I absolutely want are TKL size and MX Blues, everything else is a bonus.

not him but have you tried both mx red and razer green and made an objective comparison?

>>58443558
ive been looking to get a MX cherry key tester before making any final judgement but i wanted to get the razer green switches because i genuinely enjoyed them while using said friends new keybored, they feel much better then MX red's to me

can i expect keyboard with cherry switches to last few years w/o any chatter?

got keycool 87 ~1.5 year ago, for few months now i have chatter on like third of keys (which i can somehow control with software), recently some keys started to stop registering presses from time to time. not sure if it's just kailh being utter shit or mechanical being a meme.

>>58443629
No shit. Greens are knockoff clicky switches while reds are scratchy linear garbage

>>58443675
Should have gotten a topre keyboard. Even cheap ones sell for around 140 bucks

>>58443681
well what do you recommend friend

>>58443545
They're all very similar, can't really go wrong with any of them. That said I picked 67g zeals to put in my ergodox.

>>58443714
rubberdomes

>>58443780
sure alright

>>58443114
If you need a software and SDK, the MasterKeys is the only and probably the best option. Others would be Razer and Corsair shit, but then you're stuck with the default keycaps (at least on Corsair if I recall correctly) and the obvious questionable looks. Other keyboard with RGB lighting usually do it directly through the keyboard (which you can do with the MasterKeys too).
Have you tried Amazon? They have import options available. Not sure how it works for the EU, but the US one has worldwide shipping, you just have to make a deposit for import fees.

why is it that the chinks must put that ugly font on every single one of their keyboards

>>58445951
roman symbols for them look the same as chink symbols for us so fonts dont really make a difference. And they probably think they are cool (they are not)

>>58441533
haven't tested the keyboard yet, but might open it up and poke around with a multimeter. I found the mac-512K that this came with as well, but it doesn't seem to have an OS and just shows a blank screen when I boot it up. Also found what I believe is an add-on hard disk, probably 5MB and weighs 10 pounds

Anybody ever try these rubber tai-hao keycaps?

Let's hope it's everything I dreamed of and I don't have to buy another keyboard for at least 10 years.

Nothing has been made in the last 17 years to supplant fUnc. Which is frankly astonishing. There are fUnc copies and fUnc themselves went out of business and came back, but nobody makes anything better than the fUnc 1030. Here's to another 17 years!

Also it's a bounce flash you're looking for. Canon 40D, Tamron 28-75 SP and Canon 580 EX bounced off the ceiling at various angles and intensities. Total thriftstore-tier nowadays. Hey, I use the photographic equivalent of an IBM Model M! Topical!

What the fug???

After extensive research and no prior knowledge on mechanical keyboards I decided to purchase this ducky keyboard. I expected this keyboard to last a fair amount of time considering the fact that it has cherry switches and PBT Keycaps. While I am satisfied with the quality of the switches so far, I wish I could say the same about the keycaps themselves. I was under the impression that PBT lettered keycaps were one of better ways to manufacture keys, Maybe I was wrong? Maybe the keyboard I received did not have legitimate PBT lettered keys? Ive had the keyboard for a little over a month now and the WASD keys are already starting to fade. Would not recommend purchasing a ducky keyboard.

>>58449074
PBT is the plastic used on the keycaps, not how the legends are actually printed. If you want durable legends, double-shot PBT is one of the best you can find. You can find more information here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Keycap_printing

>>58448958
What switch? What keyboard?

.2mm or .4mm o rings? I don't care about noise, only buying to reduce travel

>>58449332
Neither.

If you want reduced travel, get those MX Speed switches [spoiler]or a Topre board[/spoiler]

Adding o-rings to your keycaps makes bottoming out feel like the grossest, mushiest rubber dome ever.

>>58449408
it's either that or use my keyboard with browns (gross)

>>58449412

The F key on my Cherry rubber dome keyboard broke, and I thought I'd check this shit out. Only suppliers from within Germany please so I can send it back easily if it turns out to be a meme.

Budget: As little as possible? Like, I used to use $20 headphones, but then I bought $300 ones and they did indeed sound like they cost, so maybe it's the same with mechanical keyboards? There's probably some threshold above which it's just "-phile" shit like these lightbulb amps and crazy fat audio cables.

Preferred switch type: Uh, quiet? Mostly programming, some vidya, but most of all I don't want to be that fag in voice chat who drowns everyone out with the click sounds of his keyboard.

What are all the things I need to build a keyboard with a zeal60 pcb aside from the switches and the case and the keycaps?

>>58450150

Controller, diodes, and other misc electronics if the pcb doesn't have it already installed.

>>58449251

To a very large degree, it is a meme. Most people using mechanical keyboards are posers. Hell, I bet many don't even touch type. They buy for aesthetics and placebo bullshit like the sound (which everyone in their right mind actually hates) and Le Tactile Feedback without actually realizing why they need that tactile feedback. Whenever I hear some dipshit obsessing about this crap, I imagine a baby dazzled by a rattle toy. And when I hear crap like "typing comfort" I imagine a sickly nerd with toothpick fingers that break under a light breeze.

But it's true that if you learn not to bottom out, a switch like the cherry blue can increase your WPM. If you sort out through the bullshit, there is merit to mechanical keyboards.

>>58450230
>if you learn not to bottom out

>>58450307
Judging by the oil stains on the case it looks like a QFR.

>>58450336
Its the CM Storm QuickFire Rapid. The caps are the modern beige set from OriginativeCo.

>>58450230
most of it is true.
>>58450282
I touch type since 14 years. using blues at around 130wpm since 5-6y. I still bottom out some keys (mostly the functional ones like shift, control, del). Just try and take it slow at first. learn where the response point is and work up from there

>>58450282

Well yeah. The whole idea of a switch like the blues is that the bump lets you know exactly when the switch has been actuated so you can stop pushing any further. It takes some getting used to but it's not difficult to learn.

>>58450230
I tried multiple times to learn not bottom out on blues, but I need to type way too lightly and slowly for that. Maybe it's doable and actually do improve your WPM on greens or whatever, but blues are still too light for me to not bottom out.

Numpads are a blessing, but that doesn't mean that you need one at all times.

>>58452615
If you do things like CAD and data entry then a numpad is essential. But for things like bioinformatics and typing papers then there really is no use for it. People realized this over 100 years ago with typewriters

The Kaihua I bought on the Black Friday sale has finally reached my third world shithole (and I discovered my phone has an allergic reaction when taking pictures with multiple light sources so sorry for the shitty pic)

I`ve been typing for half an hour and the change from rubberdome to this is pretty impressive, I'm loving it (though I'm still getting used to the position of keys on the American layout)

Hopefully it doesn't break down that soon. Anything I should keep in mind so I can keep this thing working for at least a few years?

>>58452615
It's simply not comfy having to move my arms so far to switch between the keyboard and mouse. If you're a gaymer, you have to stretch out your arms to actually be able to reach both the mouse and the WASD keys at the same time.

I just received my order of keycaps from wasdkeyboards.com and they messed up my order. How often does this usually happen? I haven't heard anything bad from wasdkeyboards, so I'm a little surprised they fucked up my order

>>58453291
