They run on 5 volt from the USB port, and draw less than 500mA. How much it actually uses would depend on your keyboard, mainly on wether it is backlit or not.

Are there any totally silent mechanical keyboards that aren't too pricy?

I want to use a phone + keyboard for taking notes in uni now that my laptop is broken but I don't want people annoyed at me clack clacking away like the autist I am. Touching a filthy rubber dome is preferably a solution to avoid. Currently use cherry reds but those are too loud for a classroom environment.

Use fucking o-rings. There is no silent mechanical keyboard. Reds are linear. Only sound they make is when you hit the bottom.

O-rings won't get rid of the upstroke sound. You're best bet is to get a keyboard with MX Silents (they have internal dampeners to reduce noise) or get Zealencios (these will dampen downstroke and upstroke sound with cherry profile keycaps, upstroke only with any other profile keycaps)

so ive had a razer blackwidow expert for like 3-4 years, has been perfect for me, i liked the blue switches a lot, but tonight i guess a bit of juice spilled on it and somehow shorted or broke the keyboard from an incredibly small amount of liquid.

my question is, can i fix this by opening the keyboard and drying the insides off, presuming the liquid somehow got onto the actual board, and if not, what exact layout does the keyboard use and how can i search for those?

basically the way the function keys have barely any space between f4 and f5, f8 and f9. ive gotten extremely used to the way those function keys are placed in relation to the number keys for the mmos i place, so yeah. will be very appreciative if i can get an answer on either, i know le razer meme but i got it a long time ago and its worked for me.
>>
>>59778626
also the board doesn't have to be blue switches, if there are nicer keys for typing / """"""gaming""""" i am fine, but if cherry mx blues are the best for typing or nice feeling then im fine. but yeah main priority is, is the keyboard fixable at this point and if not how can i get a layout of function keys exactly similar to the one the blackwidow expert used?
>>
Need some help.
Been using a cheap chink board I got off of amazon for about $35 as a replacement for the near $80 CMStorm board I had.
It is surprisingly functional and feels great in use. One problem, there's an ugly chink brand logo on it.
Is there any way to remove this logo without damaging the surface? The front is fully metal, so I'm not sure if that makes it easier or harder. In my opinion with my custom keycaps and no ugly logos or printings (i.e caps lock "logo" near the caps lock LED) it would look really great. Thanks in advance.

You must understand that in back in early 2016 this keyboard was shilled relentlessly by me and this italian guy. Little did people then know that the keyboard is not actually a functional keyboard. It does not send any information to the computer, all the usb connection does is power an internal microphone and some capacitative sensor that detect when a key is touched. Notice that I said touched, as you can't press the keys down, they are completely static. Upon a key being touched, an internal microphone plays a high quality flac file of a female voice saying "thock" with a strong french accent. Not making a "thock" sound, just literally saying "thock". Everyone who praises this keyboard is simply acting as if it were an actual keyboard out of buyers remorse. Thus it is the greatest meme of all, and grants the owners the maximal number of attainable meme points.

Turn back and don't come back. You will thank me later.
Basically mkg is hobby for borderline underage college students living on mommy paychecks and fat neckbeards. Those people are generally failures and seek validation on the internet. There is no better way to improve ones ego than having expensive keyboard that people hype and praise on the internet.
Basically the whole point of this hobby is buying expensive keyboards, keycaps and other accessories, and posting pictures of them online. Often pictured together with some other stupid shit, like figurines or guns. Stay away if you value your sanity.

Hey /g/,
I'm looking for a new keyboard. Been using a Logitech g710+ for a couple of years now. Unfortunately, the wheel that regulates the sound volume stopped working a few months ago and now, since today, a couple of key lights have begun flickering from time to time.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for me? Been exclusively using Logitech peripherals since at least 15 years, and I'm actually pretty happy with it, but I'd like to know if other manufacturers have something decent.

What I need is a keyboard with cherry MX brown switches, a num pad, media keys and key backlights (no rgb shit). I'm German, but I am using the US-Intl layout, so having a US layout (maybe even with US-Intl key caps) would be a huge bonus.

Thanks!!!

Slightly out of place in this thread, but just ordered this. I love the keyboard on my old macbook and I use a hackintosh as my main machine, so it fits. I personally can't stand the old chunky loud deep keys you guys love, but to each their own.

Topre bruh. Get a Plum for about $100, Topre clones are less tactile and feel like a more satisfying, thocky reds. Plum also make them so that it dampens the upstroke.

Also 0.2mm or so less travel because the HHKB uses standard height sliders unlike the extended sliders of silenced realforces.

I have only used a few mechanical keyboards. A Corsair, Logitech, and an old razer one passed down(first generation black widow maybe?). Bought this a few months ago when my Corsair died as a quick replacement until I decided what I actually wanted and have been super happy with it for the price. Anyone else used this hidden gem?

I didn't want to cut up the original wire or solder on the original board, and I'm too cheap buy a header to connect my own cable to the board. Anything more complicated (I want to eventually make a bluetooth one, Model Ms suck for gaming anyway) would have cost even more.

China makes them. You can buy individual Cherry/OEM (not sure exactly which) ones on Taobao, or they're options in XDA and Master Control group buys.

Finally got home and cleaned this pupper up. The guy had two cats, so I had to clean a lot of cat hair. I put the keycaps in water and added denture cleaner, which seems to have goten rid of most of his oils and the keycaps feel brand new again. Side note these keycaps are amazing; after all this time they still have their rough texture to them. Despite being a TKL this keyboard is only slightly smaller then my full size Ducky.

I'm skeptical. My 1.75u shift is already pretty wobbly.
>>
>>59790862
Well it kinda depends on position, but if you hit it with your thumbs you hit in the middle anyway. I am not sure if i would do it on the outer edges.
>>
>>59790900
I dunno, might as well just go with a 1.5u at that point.
>>
>>59790862
Well that would certainly work well with a split spacebar.

I've been using a custom keyboard with the shift key on the bottom row, operated by your left thumb, for a long time now and highly recommend it. Takes some getting used to at first--or when using a normal keyboard--but it's clearly the more optimal solution and idk why it's not more common.

the only thing i plan to do in the future is move the center two columns lower than the outside ones, and swap the bottom keys that are currently 1.25u for 1u keys. otherwise, i like it a lot! the rightmost white keys are |/ and esc, btw, with esc on the bottom row. in the center, i have backspace and delete and enter on the 2u key. pretty decent layout, once you get the hang of it.

i designed it to be usable with normal profile keycaps for the most part, but am thinking of building a second revision with tenting, dsa keycaps, and dvorak layout

If you're talking Mathias switches, - they're shit. I built an Ergodox Infinity with those and after a month and a half I've yet to see one of them not having some kind of chattering issues.
>>
>>59795990
Wait, literally every one of your switches is chattering? Sounds more like a firmware issue.
>>
>>59796037
No, not all of them at once. First one of them started having this issue. I replaced it, but same happened with another, and then another one, and now I have 4 or 5 keys chattering like crazy. Some dude on the assdrop discussion told me that I should set a different debouncing value, but that solved nothing
>>
>>59796072
Funny, my Matias QC board has no such issues. Have you googled to see if others are having similar problems? Maybe there's a common solution.
>>
>>59796184
I'm not a /v/tard, obviously I did. But weirdly enough, I found nothing. Maybe I just got a defected batch; ordered some mod-H switches, which have a different debouncing value being cherry-compatible. If I will still have such crap issues - then I'll fucking sell it on ebay and buy myself a kinesis

Euros are incapable of advanced thought, which is why America exists: All the smart people left because Europeans are afraid of abstract constructs such as "rights" and "citizenship" rather than "laws" and "being a subject".


Also holy fuck that's a lot of bullets; the most my clip holds is at least 10 as well.

Thank God the Swiss still exist. Maybe one day all of Switzerland will annex Europe and all it'll take is a single Swiss citizen.

I think it's a matter of perceived attention whoring. People also get mad on 4chan about anime figurines and drug paraphernalia in unrelated topics, it's just that guns show up in these threads more often than other, equivalent things.

His is a good keyboard. Sure, it's not some 35% hipster turd and it won't win him any points with you momma boys, but it's pretty good.
