REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Am I missing something, what are these premium abs keypads getting dropped on mass drop? Why not make them from pbt?

Contrary to popular belief, there's a buckling spring switch like it is found in the model m under the screen of the S8. as a matter of fact, it's a buckling spring that has been salvaged from an old model m, hence those boards are so rare.

>>60190273
Manufacturing PBT is a pain, even more so if it's doubleshot. Dye-subbing is the best option for putting legends on PBT, but you can't have bright legends on a dark background with dye-subbing.

>>60190273
Can I order custom pbt keycaps kinda like the wasd keyboard abs except not shit.

>>60190273
If it's GMK, they don't have tooling to make PBT caps at all.
If it's Signature Plastics, their PBT is kinda unreliable and more likely to be deformed compared to their ABS. Also they don't have the tooling to do all-over dyesub or doubleshot with PBT, so PBT sets are limited to legends darker than the rest of the cap.

Just accept that this is a niche hobby which will costs you plenty if you don't live in the right place.

Why are Leopold boards so expensive compared to similar? I don't mind if they are THAT better, or are they?

>>60190907
how much does the shipping cost? you can get it from here too

>>60191297
What are you talking about? They cost around the same price as a Ducky, cooler master, or filco. Unless you are talking about the topre ones.

>>60191297
keyboards with topre and topre clone switches are more expensive because they're more niche and more expensive to manufacture. whether topre is better for you depends on your preferences.

How do Topre clone switches compare to the real thing?

Do they still feel like typing on clouds? Or is it closer to a normal rubber dome.

>>60191333
Well I can buy directly from China without aliexpress. Just like to see if others have got this set from China

>>60191489
Leopold don't just make Topre though. All Topre boards are expensive, but I've found Leopolds with Cherry are fairly well priced

>>60191675
Where do you live? Leopold are a mid range brand and their pricing shows. Their most expensive cherry keyboard is the 980m at 120 bucks, which isn't that far off from Ducky and Cooler master, which are also mid range brands.

>>60191771
I live in Australia.

I wasn't saying they're expensive, I was saying they're reasonable for how good they are, and implying that, yes, they are mid range :-)

>>60191791
>>60191297
Oh that explains why your grammar is atrocious.
You're probably a leb or a chink.

>>60191297
Topre Leopolds are similar priced to similar boards, such as the HHKB, or even other topres like Realforces. Personally I think Leopolds are excellent, the build quality on my FC660C is the best I've ever seen, better than HHKB. To me its worth it, but without trying to sound like a richfag, I don't mind spending a lot of money on a keyboard. As the saying goes "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap".

Why do we have so many Leopold shills

>>60192369
drevo gramr

you could also look at z-88 rgb but amazon.com doesn't seem to have one with browns

>>60192682
Does the gramr come with normal keycaps so that I could buy "standard" sets with out being overly concerned with compatibility?

>>60192790
>Does the gramr come with normal keycaps so that I could buy "standard" sets with out being overly concerned with compatibility?
right alt, fn, right ctrl are 1u which not all sets include. del, pageup, pagedn, end are in the wrong rows compared to a standard layout, so with most sets the rows or the legends will be wrong unless you go with blank keycaps or a uniform profile. otherwise the keycaps are standard.

How is the Majestouch 2?

Related, why don't more 65%, 75%, 96-key, etc layouts use the whitefox's 1.25-1.25-0.5u gap thing for the keys in between the spacebar and arrows? Seems like it'd make finding keycaps for those type of boards much easier, the only non-standard cap you'd need then is a 1.75u shift (and that 1u numpad 0 for a 96-key)

Because it looks hideous and almost all high-end sets support that kind of layout.

DSA or SA profile?

>>60193109
good but probably not worth whatever you're paying for it

>>60193172
I like how it looks :(

Especially if you use uniform profile caps which lets you put a stepped ctrl there to cover the gap

The only thing that really bothers me is the lack of detachable usb cord. Is there a way to fix this or should I just get something else?

>>60193355
You could probably mod it but I imagine that would be a pain in the ass. Just get a Leopold if you want a full size keyboard since they come with nice PBT caps that won't start shining like Filco's terrible caps.

>>60193355
Pretty sure filcos have an internal JST connector so it's super easy to make a JST male to USB of your choice female cable to go inside the case

What are people's thoughts on cherry clears? I wanted a good balance between gaming and typing, but when I tried out browns at my local microcenter I realized everyone calling them shit were telling the truth. I am probably just going with reds, but if clears can provide silent tactile bump and not feel like the dirty garbage that is browns I may reconsider.

>>60193509
Is there something similar in micro USB/USB C/literally anything but a big ass USB female?

>>60193109
Built like a tank

>>60193519
Cherry clears are great, I wouldn't call them the best for gaming in stock form though because that 100g bottom out force caused me fatigue when holding keys down for long periods of time in FPSes.

>>60193564

POM injects into PBT just fine. It doesn't have to be a single plastic for both parts.

I like where the Control key is too, but it sucks for games.

I can't decide between a TKL/%60 or a full-sized mech, someone help.

>>60193826
Do you need a numpad? If yes full, if not, do you need function keys? If yes TKL, if not, 60%.

>>60193826
If you don't play games there isn't a reason to go for a compact board but if you do consider it.
I use small boards because having my mouse hand closer to the other hand is more comfortable versus when it's further apart. If you play games and they're important to you put your hand halfway across a full size board and the mouse close, then compare to full distance apart. If the distance doesnt bother you then consider a full size, if it does then go for a compact board. If you want a compact board you should then consider if you need the F1-12 keys.
if you play MMOs that have a bunch of key binds or often use keyboard shortcuts with them then you should consider a 75% like the ak33 or drevo gramr. If you don't care about them you could look at something like a magicforce 68.

>>60193901
>>60193996
Thanks, I think I'll just get a 60% because I don't really use macros at all (even though they'd probably help).

old rubber domes are mushy shit so pass. if you want wireless then there are BT mechanical keyboards anywhere from 50-200 bucks, if you like your old keyboard you can get a bluetooth adapter for like 20-40 bucks

if i like browns will i like nature whites?

yes this makes sense

>>60203301
No, I don't think that makes sense either. Do you mean to split the spacebar, then have one of the halves be programmed to backspace? That makes more sense.

>>60203328
That would be a good way of doing it. Alternatively, keep the big key so it can still be mashed at but put backspace/mouse nipple/mod keys below it

not him but i want a friggin split spacebar because i only use the right thumb for space. the left thumb would be comfy to use for backspace or a modifier. and you could use dual 2.25u keys in place of a 5.5u spacebar in a 65-75% layout without any major keycap compatibility issues.

first mechanical keyboard; holy shit it's so nice =(

autohotkey is fucking retarded. i'm trying to bind leftshift + rightshift + space to backspace but nope

>>60206363
ok i got the cunt to work now

$+Space::
if GetKeyState("LShift", "P") and GetKeyState("RShift", "P")
    Send {Backspace}
else
    Send {Space}
return

>>60206464
This seems like a pretty simple if else statement why were you struggling

>>60206804
obviously it looks simple when the solution is given to you

if autohotkey wasn't made by a complete fucking amateur it would have been possible to do just

LShift & RShift & Space::Send {Backspace}

(
LShift & Space::Send {Backspace}
 works)

or 
<+>+Space::Send {Backspace}

Wait, so whoever programmed it decided you can do two-key combos in one syntax but three or more requires an entirely different syntax? That is fucking retarded.

>>60207078
yes that's what i'm saying

and the solution is still fucked up like if you let go of right shift it continues to do backspace but if you let go of left shift it switches to space

i think i want o rings too

is there a recommended spec on like the thickness and such? any particular seller on aliexpress you recommend?

found this shop, has more options than aliexpress and it's not very expensive

i'm tempted to try these THICC o-rings

http://lpwl.bigcartel.com/product/thick-o-rings

>>60207826
but they might be too thicc for cherry profile
>But they are, on the other hand, too thick to be used with lower profile keycaps made by manufacturers such as GMK - JTK - BSP - Leopold - CherryCorp or IMSTO.

then there are these ones which are 2mm (lpwl has 1.5mm and 2.5mm) but are 70A rather than 40A which is the recommended hardness for keyboard o-rings

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000PCS-Black-Rubber-9mm-x-5mm-x-2mm-Oil-Seal-O-Rings-Gaskets-Washers/32336122403.html

so many options!

found a very cheap option

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100Pcs-Black-O-Type-Sealing-Rubber-Ring-Gaskets-5-6-7-8-9-10-2-MM/32790018330.html

waiting for the seller to reply if the options refer to the inner or the outer diameter. i think you want a 5mm inner diameter.

these are most likely 70A but i'm thinking that since i mainly want to reduce key travel distance/time and reduce noise and i don't care much about the dampening effect i might be fine with this harder rubber

>>60208477
on this one the people giving feedback say it's the outer diameter

custom programming and bluetooth compatibillity, lets you rebind keys and function layers to whatever you like.

I got it mostly for the bluetooth so I can very easily use it on all my devices, but the programming may be helpful too.
That and its just fun to customize things.

Has anyone on /mkg/ ordered a custom laser-cut steel plate for their build? If so, where did you order it and how much did it cost?

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the extra money to make a "proper" steel plate rather than just gluing my switches down in 5mm acrylic.

>>60211595
Could be kinda neat if you've got the money to burn, so I'd say yes if it was someone else's money but I wouldn't get them myself. I bet they'll look filthy pretty quickly though.

lol, a skull/robot head artisan is about as "unique" as a "think different" tattoo with the apple logo

>>60212200
Have you considered selling your artisan on ebay for $1,500 since it's one-of-a-kind and therefore valuable?

I don't think you understand. CF sell them for $35, its the scalpers who resell them for $200+ since they have the little logo on the back.

>>60215162
I've got nothing against the people who sell them. Honestly, good for them for taking retards' money.

I'd imagine they could stay in either position, with something akin to a cherry clear's tactile bump holding them in the up position. So, if they were down, yes, it would keep spamming the key.

there are two modes for the switch, half pressed and fully pressed.

when the tab passes the switch, it activates it ,
which is the actual button press.
and when you fully press the key the tab is now below the first switch, and the bottom of the key activates a second switch. this second switch tells the keyboard to ignore the second tab press when the key is raised magnetically.

there is also a toothed gear that matches with a toothed part of the key-rod for no reason.

That's a Cherry G81-1800 which had MY switches but I custom modified it with a Cherry MX PCB and steel plate. It now has Vintage Cherry MX Black switches with 55g springs.

The keycap is a Bro Caps blank artisan cap. Your best bet is either on Reddit marketplace or during an official sale.

Hehe. Well, I'm glad I renewed your interest in a full layout board!!! As that one other guy said, it's a Cherry 1800 layout keyboard! It's awesome. It's pretty much a fullsize layout squished to be almost the same length as a TKL keyboard, but slightly taller!

Thank you for your kind words. It's one of my keyboard prides :D

Here's a picture of it for you in it's natural state!

Are the keycaps in the picture originally from the MY as well? I know MY boards have weird keycap stem spacing for the bottom row.

Yes, those are the original Cherry Doubleshot ABS keycaps that came with it (except the Red GMK Esc key, which I added).

Not this board, from that I know of. Also my G81-3000 is fine too, and these came with OG Cherry PBT.

Convenient how? I never even look at my keyboard, and light shining up into my field of view from out of my line of sight would just be distracting.

>>60219115
Why would you get a backlit keyboard

Recommend me a sub $100 keyboard for work

Gateron just sent out a huge run of switches that were apparently completely fucked. Meanwhile I heard cherry has finally been shamed into replacing their molds.

what kind of widow is that low to the ground?

>>60221920
It's a glass sliding door, dingus.

Going to have to feel the new cherry switches before we know if that even matters. For all we know they're even more scratchy because fuck you for making fun of them

>>60221988
look again

>>60222014
I've felt some current production RGB Browns, they're now smooth garbage instead of scratchy garbage

I forgot to mention that I'm looking for a keyboard with extra keys. Preferably just 5 or 6. Right now I'm looking at the ROCCAT Ryos MK. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks for the suggestions though, I appreciate it.

What it looks like when you haven't cleaned a keyboard for 7 years

>>60222749
>never any keycaps

Such is life as an ALPS man.

>>60222794
luckily it still looks good like this, even with two font alignments and sizes

I know the meme around here against RGB, but apart from that, what's wrong with this keyboard? It's the Corsair K65 RGB. I want to get it for my gaming computer.
