the 1.5u key next to spacebar is the fn key. fn + o, fn + n, and fn + m are print screen, vol down, and vol up respectively for this particular keyboard (magicforce is non-programmable so you are stuck with this layer)
>>60117864
>Isn't that bad for typing?
I don't see why it would be, although they are really hard to not bottom out. my keyboard is just a terrible keyboard functionality wise - blank keycaps, only 68 keys, etc. but i don't think Gateron clear switches contributes to it.

good keyboards?

i'm looking through the gaymen keyboards like corsair k70 and ect but the bottom row for them is irregular for keycaps

can someone give me recommendations, preferably full size.

>>60117708
I legitimately think the magicforce has the best compact layout. When they are on mass drop for 40 with your pick of Gateron switches it's an amazing deal

>>60118193

Talking to my friend on Steam, and I asked him what switch his keyboard has, and he says, "I have a razer chroma." I then told him about switches, and he said, "I've been a mechanical keyboard user since 2012 and never heard of the term 'switches'."

Razer chroma uses Kailh-made switches under the Razer brand btw. Razer greens if it clicks, orange if it doesn't. But it's probably obvious it clicks if he knows it's mechanical but doesn't know what switches are.

>>60118612
Yes.

>>60118697
The one you like to type on

>>60118718
So the "custom" switches are in fact Kailh? How do you know this?

>>60118864
Geekhack and Deskthority did the research. There are threads on those sites detailing how they uncovered the OEM. Don't have links handy on mobile right now though

>>60118864
They now use greetech switches in addition to kailh as well, so its a lottery on what switch you get. Now there is nothing wrong with kailh or greetech switches, but razer did this to lower the cost of production, while keeping the price of the keyboard the same.

>>60119229
What did he mean by this?

>>60118697
For typing you typically want clicky and tactile for maximum haptic feedback, but Gateron's clicky switches are actually pretty bad. They have buttery smooth linear switches but anything with a click mechanism is inconsistent.

>>60119275
Won't I just get used to them? I'm getting 104-106 wpms on my shitty laptop keyboard.

I really like Cherry Greens, I know you get more tactile feedback out of cherry clears but I love the sound they make.

Hoping the rumor of cherry fixing its castings is true, I still like a cherry black and if they can make em as smooth as the gateron then I'm in. Do want to try and get a heaver spring for the stock of cherry blacks I got. Try em lubbed with a heaver spring, for daily use I love a linear switch.

Do wanna try out zeals at some point but God damn they are so pricy

>>60122913
Split is take it or leave it for me. I can see why some like it, but I'm used to typing on normal keyboards.

My other complaints are things that would absolutely drive me up the wall and make me relearn a lot of muscle memory. This keyboard breaks even simple things like reaching for backspace, enter, arrows, or typing numbers.

how do i get godly wpm? i can't break 110

>>60122962
learn proper type touching if you haven't already. your hands should barely move when typing because every key is within reach of the nearest finger.

>>60122998
How do I do this? Because I only use 3-4 left fingers and 2 right fingers.

>>60123032
Put your left hand fingers on asdf and your right hand fingers on jkl;. Note the bumps on F and J to help you find them by touch. Now look down at your hands, go through each key and see what the nearest finger is. For instance Q, A and Z are in easiest reach of your left pinkie.

Now force yourself to type like this for a while. At first you'll be slow as fuck and make tons of typos, but you'll speed up as muscle memory takes over.

>>60122829
That should be a good first solder project with diodes. It's a nice board if you are okay with the form factor. It is also pretty cheap.

>>60123073
How about the keys T G V and Y H B ?

Also, how long will this take? I've been typing like this for over 2 decades (QWERTY)

Stepped keys only exist because it's easier to incorporate into the board design than a properly stabilized key, and they're only made to a certain size because otherwise you'd need a stab anyway.

interesting. i just assumed it was so you wouldn't hit caps lock by accident.

>>60124738
>Caps lock is a widely hated key. [1][2] It usually occupies a prominent place between Tab, Shift and A, and is easily engaged by mistake when reaching for A. To avoid this mistake, many keyboards have a stepped caps lock keycap that places a gap between caps lock and the adjacent letter key.
https://deskthority.net/wiki/Caps_lock

so i guess stepped shift etc were just to avoid stabilizers but caps lock was often stepped because of the stupid placement. in modern times caps lock isn't important enough to warrant being placed right next to the a key.

it's an ok 60% keyboard which is an outdated meme. 75% is the new hottest meme

What's the best minimalist WHITE 60-65% budget keyboard? Preferably with backlight, but not needed

>>60125031
high profile keycaps are an outdated meme
as is abs

Thanks. Also, does it come with a case? How durable is that aluminum? I want to carry my keyboard wherever I go, but I don't want to scratch the living fuck out of it.

>>pay extra to buy a keyboard with less keys
not really. for example drevo gramr is only $40 on amazon.
>>pay even more to add an additional board with the keys you lost
you don't need a numpad and you pay more for a full size board anyway (they're more expensive than their tkl equivalent versions)
>>also pay just as much to replace the keycaps
so? you can get thick pbt for like $30 with free shipping

Fucking massdrop.

Those used to be 105.

This is true. The actual advantage of a tenkeyless or a 60% + numpad is that you can put the numpad on the left side of your keyboard which requires too much imagination for the average 4chan drone. If you buy a separate numpad and put it on the right, you're basically a grade A fucking moron and guess which anonymous image board is notorious for a high concentration of grade A fucking morons.

>>60125362
the guy most likely just put the numpad there to set it up for the pic smartass

>>60124554
Wow ok then

Can I please recommendations for best bang for the buck on full keyboards that I could get in Romania ? Preferably with leds.

Is the CoolerMaster Devastator II worth it ?

No those are the worst. Get a normal rubber dome or a cheap chinese mechanical keyboard instead.

>>60126000
Overpriced membrane.

>>60125304
assdrop is never actually a good deal in terms of value, though. It's always just "exclusive" shit sold with a 10-15% price hike.

>no caps lock LED
how the hell do you remember if you have caps lock on without it?

>>60127041
By not having caps lock bound and not using it

>>60127041
I never use it, if I accidentaly it I notice it(?)

There are simple LED mods you can do, but anon its pretty obvious if you have caps lock turned on.

>>60127041
you'd only have it on for a short duration of time and then turn it off when you're done typing with all caps. if you need in indicator for whatever reason you could do it in software with a tray icon or something

this + thick PBT keycaps

>>60127346
But you can't use an indicator if you're typing in a linux box without a DE, so that LED really helps you know whether you're typing in all caps or not.

Has anyone here ordered from KBDFans' shopify site? If so, how long did it take your order to ship & arrive?

>this isn't just money laundering on ebay

I'm buy a Memeforce 68. Since it has an aluminum body, how do I carry it around without getting it scratched?

>>60128334
I ordered some Gateron Yellows from KBDFans on April 8 and it arrived to the US on April 27.

Did any one of you try dyeing ABS keycaps? I'm afraid there's no other route for what I have in mind.

>>60128334
Ordered on the 11th, tracking ended when it left China on the 18th, arrived at my door in Australia on the 28th.

Ah fuck I haven't been into mech keyboards in over a year. Just sold my Ducky Shine 3 Year of the Dragon MX Blue and CM Quickfire Rapid with MX Brown with 3 sets of PBT keycaps for a good amount of cash on eGay.

Just bought a Magicforce 68 and some PBT side printed black keycaps from Ali to get back into them...

Did I do gud? Pic related is the keycaps.

rosewill? how'd you get the logo off?

what switches did you get

and yeah, the caps look good. i like the white ones, though

>>60129520
>>60129454

Oh yea forgot to mention that I got Gateron Brown switches. I like how smooth they are compared to MX.

>>60129625
Get the Gateron Blues for maximum clickity clackity

>>60129641
Ah hell nah. Which board(s) you have?

>>60129668
I ordered a magicforce 68 recently. It'll be my first one. Also getting miami caps

>>60129712
Nice, I wouldn't be able to tolerate the pink after the meme wears off. You got Blue switches I assume?

>>60128947
not possible
abs melts at high temps
you need pbt caps for dyeing

>>60129734
Yeah, I did. What's the best way to carry the keyboards when traveling? Since the memeforces have aluminum bodies, how easy is it to scratch?

>>60128939
>>60128954
Thanks for the response, that doesn't sound too bad.

I'm just curious because I placed an order for a set of enjoypbt caps 2 days ago, but it's still saying they're "getting the order ready"--which I'm taking to mean "not shipped yet". I don't care that much even if it takes 6 weeks--I just wanted to hear that others have been successful.

The best way to travel with them is probably the same as it is for any sub-fullsize keyboard: a metal briefcase with foam cutouts.

>>60129903
By travel, I meant going to local coffee shops. Not actually traveling.

>>60129941
The one in the pic was handmade, I think. Just pick up a used metal briefcase at a thrift store or something, then get a block of foam like this: https://www.amazon.com/Polyurethane-Charcoal-Convoluted-Foam-Packing/dp/B01G49V4LO and cut out pieces you need to fit in the briefcase. Finally, cut out an appropriately-sized chunk where your keyboard can fit.
