you're objectively wrong, retard.

and this is completely unrelated to wrist posture. you can have shit form with or without flipping your spacebar.

>>60602187
the thumb keys objectively have a different angle than the bottom row finger keys on that keyboard. kill yourself.

>inb4 "b-but swapping springs is so hard!!!!!"
you're already putting in the effort of buying a custom switch to solder onto a meme-board. don't act like you don't have anything but time to switch springs, loser

not sure if the exact numbers in this copypaste shitpost are still exact, and i'm not going to go through the effort to checking

>>60602202
no one said you couldn't, it doesn't mean anything. i hope that person gets rsi

onlookers please note that he STILL hasn't made an actual point

>>60602226
and his thumb is parallel to the space button, AND his wrists are straight

YOU KEEP LOSING ANON, plz make an actual argument or I'll get bored

Good evening!

What's going on, keyboard bros?

>>60602243
So if zealios are shit, what are some fun switches to try out?
Also I neither have a board to put them on, nor equipment to do so, it was purely a thought.

>>60602243
your shitty ergo clears are almost as expensive fucking moron

>>60602243
Oh wow, he actually increased the GB price of zealios by 10 cents a switch? jesus christ

What's the difference between gat black and yellow?

>flipping your spacebar like a reddit faggot
ahahahahahahahah, you're the actual redditor, that's why you're so insecure about everything that has even the slightest association with reddit

>>60602331
zealios are $85 for 100 switches from kbdfans including international shipping, your shit is $76 (you need the lube to be even slightly equivalent to zealios) and more than that with non-US shipping

>>60602243

this tripfag is wrong about zealios and the price but correct about spacebar flipping being for mongoloids. Not that anyone should actually care about what people do to their spacbar, but flipping it is meme tier

i think Gateron yellows have a soft bottom out or some shit

not much of a difference, and gat blacks are probably more readily available, but i dunno

>>60602343
No, that's YOU

bitch

btw have you figured out an argument yet? or are you just gonna keep sperging

>>60602357
no you don't LMAO

zealios come with a tiny amount of lube on them from the factory
just because some literal jew tells you they're the smoothest on the market doesn't mean it's true.

why are people so determined to support this guy? zealios are considerably more expensive than the alternative, and they'd be cheaper if they didn't go through a scamming middle man. gaterons aren't expensive - he just raises the price, and shuts down any competition who can use the same gateron molds and sell them for cheaper because he's a piece of shit

>>60602399
>>60602386
i'm not wrong about either

Bought a Razer Ornata and it feels fucking amazing.

>>60602432
zealios is made by gateron, it's widely recognized that they make smoother stems than cherry, and kbdfans gets them straight from the manufacturer, the reason they're more expensive is because they use a whole new mold for them, and since they're new they don't have the same economy of scale as the classic switches which have been around for decades

>>60602432

what are those three bottom right switches? I feel like trying out some new switches, I don't like cherry tactiles too much but enjoy topre and currently use a hhkb as my daily driver.

Would any of those switches be worth trying out?

>>60602432
>why are people so determined to support this guy?
i'm not even "supporting" him, just arguing against your absolute nonsense, you're fucking clueless and your $76 ergo clears aren't necessarily the better purchase

>>60602471
>zealios is made by gateron, it's widely recognized that they make smoother stems than cherry
agreed. has nothing to do with lube :^)

>the reason they're more expensive is because they use a whole new mold for them
that's literally not true. there have been gateron tactile clears that got shut down by zeal.

>>60602499
MOD switches
they're cucked too, but at least they have decent tactility unlike all zealios

>>60602510
>i'm not even "supporting" him
yes you are

>your $76 ergo clears aren't necessarily the better purchase
yes they are. and they won't have the garbage tier wobble zealios have either

>>60602520
>agreed. has nothing to do with lube :^)
you need the lube for the ergo clears to compensate for the grainy stem fucking asswipe moron

where can i get replacement keycaps for this that aren't $200? I'm just gonna put zealios in it since i can be bothered to desolder 84 leds on my current board.

>>60602550
you just need the 1.75u right shift as long as you aren't too picky about the del/end/pgup/pgdn profiles

>>60602162
Isn't that Mark's keyboard from Peep show?

>>60602520

Perfect thanks, I'll order some MOD-M switches to see how I like them

>>60602550

oh god that board is hideous

>>60602575
yes

>>60602572
is the spacebar any different? also where can i get a single short shift?

>>60602600
>is the spacebar any different?
no it's standard, 6.25u

it's fairly common for keycap sets to include 1.75u shift for example

Yea fair point, I think the font on the stock keycaps just cause a kneejerk reaction.

Looks much better in that picture

the layout is called 75% or 84 key.

speaking of 96 key what does /mkg/ think about all the different chinese ones? The gxs cost $130 and comes with everything but the keycaps. I'm thinking of picking it up with gateron clears. It was the cheapest one in stock, but it only comes in silver or blue.
