Why do people hate Pok3r? It has great build quality and all the programmability you'd want.

>>60554379
I just ordered a Pok3r rgb myself. I couldn't really tell you. Maybe the size?

>>60554591
You made a good purchase, once you get the right keys and a coil keyboard cable it's perfect. I've been using mine for about a year and it was completely worth it.

What's the deal with all of these sub $30 mechanical keyboards floating around now? Are they any good? Did a patent expire? I am planning on getting a $19 one because how different can they possibly be from a $50 mechanical keyboard?

>>60554154
RIP mkg threads.

>>60554154
I just got Leopold. I like it.

>>60555620
They've been around for a little over a year now so people have already found the best ones out there. Tomoko, magicforce, royal kludge and monoprice are okay. Also the patents expired ages ago. Cherry MX switches are even older then the IBM model M

These filco doubleshots are pretty cheap if you want to see if you like SA keycaps.

what are some good wrist rests for a tenkeyless keyboard
whats the best material for a wrist rest
i have a k95 with a built in plastic one and i like it a lot
how are the fabric, rubber, leather, foam, or wood ones?
inb4 arm rests

>>60557698
but why

>>60554379
it's not bad but now there are more alternatives like tada 68

>>60557551
I don't think I'm doing any more massdrop after this. The way they (didn't) handle delays is absurd.

9 months going on my lunar set :(

>>60557744
cause ive used a k95 for a few years and its hard to go back

I might order some gaterons from ebay and make my own little gaming pad thingy (sort of like the razer orbweaver)
To replace my kb when gaming

How useful are they, should i spend some time + 15$ for one

>>60557927
if you are talking about how useful the mini keypads are
they arent that great
i used to have an orbweaver and the constant switching between the two was pretty annoying
also having a limited amount of keys is pretty annoying when playing something that has a lot of keybindings
so something basic like battlefield it works just as good as a normal keyboard

tldr; normal keyboard am better

>Under $150, preferably around or under $100

>US

>MX Reds? Anything good, mechanical, and semi-quiet

>ANSI

>tenkeyless, but preferably with a few macro keys on the left

im highly considering getting a tenkeyless keyboard but my main problem is that the good ones rarely come with media or volume keys
i dont know anything about key rebinding but with something like the tada68 could i have fn + arrow keys be a stand in for media keys?
like fn + up/down be volume and fn + left/right be previous/next track

You can get a quickfire rapid and add a frosty flake controller. Or you can be smart and just use autohotkey.

Today is a good day

Greetings /mkg/, I'm new here and I'm looking for a keyboard; there are arguably some dedicated places to shop around, wasd, happy hacking, etc. So long as I can press the keys, I'll get to first world hair-splitting smugness later. My question is: all the keyboards I see have four modifier keys to the right of the spacebar. I don't want this. I want only three keys there, which also calls for a bigger spacebar. Is my only option to design/laser cut the parts myself or is anyone building keyboards with three modifier keys at each side of the spacebar?

File: IMG_20170524_085232.jpg (25KB, 308x326px) Image search: [Google]

25KB, 308x326px

>>60559817
So since we're getting right into hair-splitting, why do you want three keys there? It'll be near impossible to find a spacebar that fits that layout.

The only commonly available mechanical keyboard that I'm aware od that has that layout is the apple extended keyboard II

Going to buy Tomoko/Victsing/PicTek I-500 as my first mechanical keyboard. Am I doing it right?

>>60559817
That's typically referred to as a "winkeyless" bottom row

1.5-1-1.5-7-1.5-1-1.5

As the name implies, the B.87 and B.87 EX from winkeyless.kr support this, as do quite a few custom TKL and Fullsize keyboards.

>>60559871
It's because when using a Mac, I want Control-Option-Command at both sides. I don't have a need for the fourth key, which is usually nonsense like 'second mouse button', or 'windows key', or 'meta'. When in emacs, the meta keybindings are easy enough to remap. Last, but not least, the symmetry of that layout appeals to me much more than the usual layouts. Oh, and I happen to have that keyboard, used it extensively in the 90s, and I think it's the greatest Apple has made.
>>60560181
Thanks for the name anon, let's see if I can find something out there.
Those are measurements you are writing there?

Are there any good keycaps with English and Ukrainian characters? Or even just Ukrainian?

Where do you even get a TADA68 anymore

>>60560459
Yeah, keycap sizes. Keycaps are measured using a baseline of a single alphanumeric keycap being equal to 1u.

Normally the ctrl, windows and alt keys are 1.25u and the spacebar is 6.25u, for these symmetrical bottom rows they use 1.5u size ctrl and alt keys, 1u size super (win, cmd, etc) keys and a 7u spacebar.

is the custom dsa pbt keyset in pmk worth the price(90$+)? or are there cheaper alternatives?

>>60561351
Get some chink DSA PBT for 40 bucks. There is also XDA, but that is only slightly cheaper

>>60561142
You can get one on Taobao for $58 shipping will be a bit but it is probably the cheapest way to get one.

I want to get this keyboard as flat as possible and this thing is in the way, so having a cable running from the pins to the usb connector would help a lot.

oh you mean uniform keys. Well yeah there are plenty of those. If you want cheap ones with LED support then consider suicide cause there are no options. If you drop the LED requirement then consider XDA

a few autists in /mkg/ get triggered over flipped spacebars. they claim it's not ergonomic but the funny thing is that keyboards that are designed to be ergonomic usually have spacebars/thumbkeys that are sloped toward the user or neutral. the real reason that they're uncomfortable with it is probably that they're redditors who are trying too hard to fit in on 4chan (flipping the spacebar is a reddit invention). what's hilarious is that the undone tripfag gets incredibly assmad about flipped spacebars when he uses DSA profile which has a neutral spacebar so flipped cherry/OEM profile spacebars should be none of his concern.

this seems like a good idea actually. i don't use the bottom row much so i haven't bothered with it. flipping the entire row would let me have my palms closer to the keyboard without the bottom rows poking me, and the bottom left key (i have swapped left ctrl and caps lock) would be nicer to press with my palm.

hey /mkg/

I've been using this model M at work, the CM(mx blue) at home, and the Vortex(mx blue) a bit when I'm just sorta lazily typing stuff and not trying to code anything.

I've got a Ducky One Grey & Blue PBT 100% (cherry mx brown) on it's way now. I got it on the advice of a couple friends and seeing them mentioned on here. I'm going to be using it mostly for coding and stuff (probably at work because the model M is LOUD). (I also got an Arch themed unicomp keyset coming too which i'm loked about)

Did I get a meme board that my other stuff is better than or did I get a nice addition that'll fit the purpose well

>>60567363

>>60567829
Ehh yes and no

The beamspring switch is absolutely incredible but the layout of the boards suck and they're so damn hard to type on due to how high up the keys sit.

>>60567509
it won't be clicky like your other boards but that's good if you want something quieter at work

What do you gentlemen think about the Logitech / Omron Romer-G?

Are they different enough from the other switches to be worth trying?

>>60567813
>>60567829
>>60567862
I really do like the tactile nature of the model M, I'm not really sure what it is I just know the key has been pressed, I know I can really fuck up the board, it doesn't slide around. Lots off good things about it. The chasis is my problem frankly. I love the Vortex Core Chasis because it's basically just not there. The Ducky One seemed relatively non-invasive too.

never tried gateron browns and was going to get a tada68, or I can pay roughly the same price and get a ducky One with Cherry browns which wouldnt take over 2 weeks delivery. 100% or 60% form doesn't matter to me. Which should I get?

>>60568929
tada 68

you'll be thankful later that you went with a more compact layout so you can have your mouse closer to the home row. and gateron brown is a lot smoother than cherry mx brown.

If I get a small-form keyboard having a metal case makes a big difference because it won't slide around on you. for bigger things it's not that big of a deal. a little weight is my preference though idk

Desu it's not. Is it worth the price maybe not but it is unique. It wears less then cherry and feels like a mix between a red, brown, and membrane. It's nice because you don't need to bottom out the keys. I also silenced my keys with dampers so no spring action clack.

I honestly say it's personal preference. I first hot a full sized realforce with variable springs and I hated it. I returned it for a all 45g spring ten keyless realforce and I fell in lover ever since.

>>60572430
first you don't need to bottom out cherry either.

second, its fucking mushy and hell and feels very imprecise.

I would much rather a solid platemounted board with MX green/clears than a real force.

its a bit riddiculous for $200

I have to disagree. It does feel like a membrane but it's no where near as soft as one. I really like it because how quite it is and how responsive the keys are without being membrane.

I do like cherry browns but some switches died after 2 years of use.

I wish I could let you type on my realforce senpai.

What do you think about the Kinesis advantage 2? Does anyone here have experience using one?

thx, that's huge .

Why did Aliexpress block my first purchase and require me to upload all this identification shit?

I'm looking for a compact/minimal keyboard (though not necessarily 65%, just so long as it's on the smaller side) it needs to actually be available and fairly easy to purchase in britbongland, so things like the tada68 are out of the question even though it would be ideal. (as I believe it's sold out?) Reasonably priced but not necessarily 'cheap' would be good, but that's not as important.

Could anyone recommend me something along those lines? Trying to avoid buying cheapshit keyboards as they always break on me, so I want to buy a /g/ approved one.

Any good looking korean-english mechanical keyboard for a cheapo?

How, anon. My space bars are stupid clacky as well

Just got a Topre keyswitch to try out, posting my thoughts:
Feels like a really smooth and slightly more crisp rubber dome, not as tactile as I'd like.
I've tried every Cherry switch that's worth trying, so I guess now that I've tried Topre as well it's time to pick my first keyboard and its keyswitch.

I have a steelseries 6gv2 mx black but the keycaps on it are utter shit and faded / becoming smooth from use. Its not just the oils on my hands since i keep them clean but probably more friction based. Anyway what keycap set should i get to replace them? id prefer no letters on the keys but im not sure if that would look too try hard. Also does anyone know how i could remove the steelseries logo on it without damaging it??

I'm a noob, is this a good cheapish starter setup: Anne pro in black but swap out the keys(caps?) for Jap keys like in
>>60587895 ?

I'd like Japanese keys and I also hate the typeface used on stock Anne pro. I'm also choosing Anne because Bluetooth is a must.

Is there something I should keep in mind when doing something like the above? Bear in mind I've never owned a mechanical keyboard let alone customised one. Thanks.

Hey guys, bit of a mech keyboard noob here so apologies in advance if my questions have already been answered ad nauseam in previous threads. What, if any difference is there between a "gaming" and "regular" mech board? I'm assuming that the majority of differences are just superficial to appeal to edgy teens but do any of them have any real benefits over any decent "regular" mech board?

That bullshit. I bout a Matias Quiet Pro and a KBP v80 with matias clicky and only the Matias brand board had chatter problems.

ajazz ak33 was the only one I could find with ISO (UK). So I'd have to switch keycaps. It was also cherry red, so I'd have to change the switches too.
I guess I should just build it myself at that point like >>60596667 said, but I don't know where to start at all.

>>60598412
I don't feel like switching to ANSII, at all, becuase of my perfect áéíóú, àèìòù, çÇ, ¡¿ and the glorious Ññ, I'd have to take some more steps to get these.

I guess in a couple of years I'd change if I am not happy with what I built or ak33/Pok3r.

>>60599481
stop using ISO, it's not that difficult of a solution. switch to US International layout and you'll have the keys you need probably anyway.

you aren't going to find many options for spanish ISO keycaps at all, let alone for a layout that's more niche like 75%

>>60599481
pok3r is probably your best bet. if you want a 75% layout you'll probably have to mix and match keycaps or go with low quality custom keycaps.

or this but it's cherry ml not cherry mx

Since no one else replied: that looks pretty fuckin sweet anon. Colored legends on white keys are underappreciated, and it's great that unicomp sells them now.

>>60586786
Seconding the other anon: a Unicomp model M. Great for typing on, $85 for Americans, and made in Kentucky

what do you guys think about mouse wrist rests?

>>60600356
just no. the wrist naturally sits low with most type of mice. a mouse wrist rest would apply pressure to your wrist or force it into an unnatural position.

I wear a wristband (pic related) so I never needed one.

>Come back when they fix the key chatter issues

The fix is called complicated ALPS switches. Have fun waiting for anyone to clone those.

Reminder that flipped spacebar posters will eventually get RSI and die to death from a wank related injury.
