Repeating my question from the end of the previous thread (>>59672273).

Does anyone here have experience cleaning contacts on the unicomp model M? (if that's even possible) My spacebar stopped registering after about 3 years of heavy use.

Its cute...but will never beat a Model M. Especially when its a Model M you recovered from an abandoned military building in the arctic and it still works after decades frozen.

>>59672871
You probably need to replace the membrane sheet

Okay so, where is the best place to purchase a poker 3 rgb in the uk? I dont mind ANSI or ISO UK layouts, everywhere seems to be out of stock for the cherry mx brown variant,

this would cost less than 90$, on AE it's selling for 100$ + 25 shipping, fuck that.
I can't speak chinese, so I have no idea how to order from taobao

>>59674089
thanks!
where can i get an aluminium case?

>>59674384
you don't need to, use taobaotrends, or similar agencies, they will order it and send it to you for a small fee

got mine a few days ago, their english is understandable, and the support is good

>>59674628
you used tobaotrends?
how much did they take?

>>59673161

I'm so worried about this. I've read other places that they have a problem with this. I have a Pok3r with brown switches that I've been waiting months for. If I get the wrong one I'm going to kill myself.

>>59674696
It's not really a big problem this time. They had mislabelled bags for a certain keycap kit. But they're sending the correct ones.

It's the first time I've had a mistake from MassDrop too be honest. There have been problems before by Signature Plastics but that's out of MDs hands imo

>>59674689

>>59674689

>>59672970
>>59674089
You bought a $90 keyboard that optionally comes with an alu case and great quality, neutral looking pbt caps to buy a set of $90 lgbt pride caps and an alu case on top so you can throw away the plastic case you paid for?

>>59673296
What's wrong with the Filco?

>>59674987
thanks!

>>59675035
the basic option is a plastic case dude

>>59675112
yeah but there's also an alu version and it's not like the plastic case is free

>>59675035
I bought it all from an German vender and they only have the normal TADA68 and the aluminum case as a separate puchase. In Germany import taxes can be a pain in the ass so I chose to pay a few bucks more to go the save route.

Like the other guy in this thread, I am also waiting on CandyKeys to get their next stock of Tada68s in, i'm also waiting for a switch sampler I bought from banggood so hopefully by next week I will be onto my first mech keyboard.

Can any recommend good places to buy keysets shipped to the UK?

What are some nice and not so expensive keycaps?

>>59676426

>>59672832

I've been skimming through during the week, but the LEDs are really putting me off, otherwise I would've gone for that by now; also put off by the uncertainty of what i'm getting from them, it looks like it comes with a blue aluminium case but thats just from the photo and not description.

>>59676592
>but the LEDs are really putting me off
what
you do know you don't have to turn them on, right?

>>59676611
>you can turn them on and off
well that solves that

>>59676592
you can ask the agents to ask for whatever colored switches you want
also the standard case is black, but if the seller offers different colors, you can tell the agents to ask for either of those colors
basically, just speak with the agents, they can speak english and will give you photos of the items they got before sending it to you

Why do my keys feel sticky?

>>59676945
i'm not sure if I understand what you mean by agents, i'm looking at the taobao listing, are these sold through agents?

>>59677206
No
Taobao sellers generally only speak chinese and ship to asia, so you buy through agents who specialized for taobao like taobaotrends or taobao focus. They buy from the seller and ship the item to you

>Previous/current keyboards
Currently on a cheap membrane keyboard. Previously I was using a Corsair Vengeance K65, with MX Red keys for three months. Hated how easy it was to press a key by accident, and how lightly I had to type to avoid bottoming out.

I think browns would be ideal because I don't want it to be loud, and clears appear to be too rare in low price ranges.

https://smile.amazon.com/Velocifire-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches/dp/B01MS8YTYX?sa-no-redirect=1

How bad could this be? Anyone have experiance with cheap keyboards like this? Surely it has to be better than my $7 membrane keyboard.

I'd appreciate any other recommendations as well.

>>59677438

I don't even understand the rationality behind this.

>>59683180
The softer edges feels better on your fingers, and the bigger surface area means more room for your fingers on each key. Since all the keys are not a curved shape and more of a step shape I tend to not catch my fingers on the edge of keys since it's all the same height.

It feels very different, but I find it more comfortable.

Leopold if you don't mind the blank space on the right and want to find custom keycaps maybe a bit easier (even though it also has a non standard key), TADA68 if you want a couple extra keys, and either don't plan on getting new keycaps or don't mind being a bit more limited on sets you can use.
The TADA68 is also cheaper and comes with superior Gateron switches.

>>59677931
Portability is subjective.. If 60% is small enough, then a Pok3r or V60 would be fine. If you want to go smaller (I would, personally) then you're looking at 40%.

For a 40%, if you want something relatively inexpensive then check out the Golbat or MechMini, both are usually available as kits so you can build them as you wish.

Pic related 40% vs 60%. 40's are really good for connecting to a tablet, for instance, and using on the fly.

What keycaps should i get for this Cherry G80-1851? I have also white one so i can do combination of whites and blacks

>>59686648
I heard DCS profiled keycaps from SP are pretty similar to Cherry Profile.

Also, the capslock is basically incompatible with 90% of other capslock keycaps...

I need to buy a keyboard for my work as a Code Monkey. It is a shared office layout with 3-4 people in a single room. Is there a suitable silentish mechanical keyboard I can get or are I stuck with a shitty membrane ones?
I don't want to get angry eyes.

RGB ligthning and the style of the keyboard is not an issue.

I have a Corsair K70 with red switches and I like that one but I feel it is a bit too noisy.

>>59686749
topre

>>59686749
Try installing O-Ring dampeners.

If that's still too noisy, then the Corsair strafe should feel pretty much the same as your old k70, but apparently more silent.

would the tada68 be an appropriate keyboard for someone like me who uses a keyboard on PC?

>>59687026
No, its a Mac only keyboard.

>>59686781

I will look into them but it appears the preferred retailer does not stock them.

>>59686857
The Strafe with silent switches looks good. If it was a K70 with the silent switches I would buy one in a heartbeat.

>>59684686
yes

i was sitting here admiring my noppoo choc mini, and thinking that this has got to be the sexiest layout ever (for me), and the only real drawback is the non-standard 5.5u spacebar (maybe dual 2.75 keys in place of the spacebar would be better), so i googled 5.5u spacebar and i found these:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/double-shot-pbt-keycap-cherry-profile-rainbow-cap-for-mx-usb-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-5-5/32799680240.html

they have the 5.5u spacebar AND the 1.75u right shift AND the right hand side pgup/pgdn/end/del keys! how cool is that!

i'm still very happy with my stock keycaps but i thought this was really cool and i'm considering to buy a set.

do you know anything about KBDfans? how is their quality?

rubber domes for successful millionaires

>>59691172
Greens have heavier springs but the tactile bump isn't any more pronounced. In fact, apart from the spring, they're mechanically identical to blues.
You might give buckling springs a shot.

>>59691452

try lubing them, not bottoming out, and using a non-metal plate to get they quieter

>>59691469

Are there any rubber domes that have tall standard cherry like keycaps?

>>59691516
yeah topre

>>59691469
most millionaires will use whatever keyboard is on their laptop. Only retards use topre.

>>59691509
Hmmm, how about gateron blues - or greens if I can find them?

>>59691575
They are basically the same as cherry's options

>>59691586
But I have a buckling spring and I prefer my blues; maybe I just don't know what I want.

>>59691575
>>59691630
What I've heard from Gateron board owners is that their linear/tactile switches are nicer than Cherry, but their clicky offerings are less reliable and more likely to jam up or catch on part of the housing.
At any rate, they're designed to be faithful clones. If you're looking for a more substantial click, you won't find it there.
Consider clicky Alps.

>>59691630
then get something else. gateron and cherry aren't the only mechanical switches still made today

>>59691910
most programmers use ergonomic rubber domes.

>>59691894
The smaller ones, sure, but I've been pushing this shit for almost two decades now.

>>59692202
most programmers are idiotic plebs who haven't even tried a mechanical keyboard. actuating lightly spring-loaded keys with high activation points is more ergonomic than punching your fingers into a stiff membrane. there is no merit to rubber dome keyboards other than their low cost. any real programmer can afford to buy a decent keyboard.

>>59692307
Not all rubber dome keyboards are shit, I personally love the ergonomic 4000 and 7000 from Microsoft.

They're pretty good in general. Especially the Magestouch Convertible II. It's one of the only few dual-mode mech keyboards that have decent Bluetooth mode and won't break. It's pretty expensive, though.

>>59695188
IIRC it comes in cherry reds only.

>>59698110
Not modular enough. To live up to its name, it should have click-together sections that allow full-size, TKL, and 60% configurations. Bonus points if the function row is also a separate section.

Also it's kinda goofy that a "modular" keyboard doesn't have a detachable cable
