I posted about a compact board with browns or clears in the previous thread. A guy said that gateron browns are better than cherry ones? Can anyone tell me if there is any much difference?

>>60680861
there is a difference

>>60680896
Cheers, would you say that the gateron is more or less tactile than the cherry? I only have experience with the cherry brown.

>>60680911
gateron switches tend to be smoother than their cherry counterpart

long story short I used the wrong dye. I tried RIT liquid instead of the iDye poly packs (the former only sort of work on PBT, the latter works perfectly). Those were meant to be the old 70's sunburst orange yellow brown and look how shite it turned out. I'm gonna try it again because I want that retro look, in the mean time i basically got keycaps to match my OS (because I'm that level of cool)

This Gherkin memeboard reddit loves is the stupidest shit. You literally only have 30 keys total, 26 letters, shift and an fn key leaves you just two more keys for modifiers on the main layer and all the rest need to be on other layers. So retarded.

Are there any 75% (84 keys) boards with gateron browns available in europe that look good? only ones I can find are either gamer, shitty switches or only available in white. I want a noppoo choc mini lookalike with gaterons around €60-80, is it possible?

i'll be real with you they are slightly splotchy. I should probably also mention i'm getting my eyes checked next week but they do seem splotchy. I was planning on getting another keycap set later but yeah man, i was a little disappointed by that. especially being that I've dyed keys myself and it takes almost no effort to avoid that splotchy look if you just clean the keys beforehand with isopropyl

>>60683171
OP here, I actually thought of one flaw that I want to address before anyone else does. The caps lock light is above the number pad and not under the caps key. That's weird I guess.

>>60683171
too expensive for something this plain

Any good PS/2 boards out there

Picked up a DREVO 84 key recently, feels pretty good. Anyone know of a good cheap keyset that is compatible with this keyboard?

>>60683249
I'm kissing the poverty line and I still don't consider $95-110 expensive for a good mechanical keyboard. And that price is including a warranty

Besides, by looking as simple as it does it looks way better than most cheaper mks, which nearly always have le gaymur spikey designs and LEDs in colors that aren't white

thanks man :-D. I am really happy with the Arch themed keys. unicomp was fast to ship too which is cool (I live in the US though, faster here than EMEA probably) I'm gonna take another go at dying a full 104 keyset, but next time I'll be using iDye, and planning to have the legends obscured :(. If I can find a good mixture of RIT liquid+acid I might give those another go as they did work somewhat and left the legends intact. Thanks for the note on the pictures too, I usually just go with what light is there without much through but it probably detracts from clarity

I wish Unicomp was selling caps with colored legends when I was buying mine, but I just can't justify the expense, especially with how I just bought a set of enjoypbt with purple legends for a different KB. I'm a big sucker for colored legends; I just like how it adds color in a more subtle fashion while the rest of the keyboard can keep looking professional. In any case, it's great to be American now that Unicomp has started upping their cap offerings.

Anyone here get the GMK Yuri?

>>60683607
if you are an adventurous type, get some iDye poly from a joann's fabric near you (about 2.50 a pack) and dye them youself. the RIT liquid will keep the legends but you'll need to boil the keys forever (PBT wont warp in boiling at least per personal experience, i boiled PBT for an hour straight with no warping) and you'll need to add varying degrees of a solvent to get the dye to hold better.

>>60683171
>>60683446
I don't know if it's present on the One, but my Ducky G2 is basically the same thing and has a problem where the spacebar rebounds excessively when hit from certain angles, sometimes causing an extraneous switch activation.

>>60683703
Certainly never experienced that with my One. I have o-rings under the space bar though

>>60683486
>he has trouble hitting a key that is along the edge of the case
Only key sacrificed was half of the backspace, which was not because of the ISO enter but instead bec of the ￥ key.
ANSI enter is much easier to hit accidentally when hitting "]" or "\". ISO has to be intentionally hit since it's out of the way of the typing position.

>>60685745
I work as a data-entry automation tool engineer. So shit like a full numpad and arrows are very important to me. I'm looking to make a small, portable board that can do data entry very well and not be come model-m monster that I have to drag around. I have a small background in Circuit design so I figured I'd give making a keyboard a crack. It isn't that hard so long as you don't plot out logistics and stuff for a case, which is why I'm going with a standard size. Aluminum CNC cases for 60% boards are ~70$ USD which is a hell of a lot cheaper than I could make one for.

so my dads birthday is coming up this weekend and i was looking to buy him a mechanical keyboard because the one he has now is just cancer and he does a lot of word editing.
i just recently got mine and he mentioned tonight how much he loved his old model-m keyboard.

basically here's what he needs:
-doesn't have to be cherry mx, kailh switches are fine
-obviously he doesn't need a gaming keyboard so any features dedicated to gaming are null
-100$ cad maximum
-something i can find in stores relatively easily
-he probably doesn't care if its loud, so blue switches are fine.
-backlighting etc is just a bonus.


i have an azio mgk1 that i really love so i was thinking of getting him one but i'd like to hear other alternatives too.

tldr: my dad needs a mec. keyboard, needs to be 100$ cad or under and it needs to be more on the professional/simple side.

>>60686802
I thought they didn't exist?

>>60685294
eh, if you can't ever get comfortable with a keyboard you're not going to type your best on it, and there are definitely designs that never feel right

>>60686852
well it is made by Canadians so I forgive you for not knowing. They're quieter then rubber domes because they are dampened on both the down and up stroke.

>>60686383
Matias make a wireless keyboard with their quiet click switches I think

>>60686849
see
>>60686889
support your country and buy the only good thing canadians have made in the past 5 years

>>60685294
yes it does you fucktard. the force required to press they key is a huge factor as long as how fast it comes back up. some fat fuck with heavy slow fingers will want stiffer springs, while some skeleton might want lighter springs. Also the feel of the switches is massively important from a psychological perspective. If the switches feel natural to you, you will type faster hands down.

Just flipped my space bar and wow- the memes were actually true. It is a lot more comfy.

I won't have an issue actually buying the model I have in mind, I was just curious if there's some kind of Keyboard Showroom out there where I can try out the different switch types before fucking off and ordering it from Amazon. I don't think Best Buy had one of those, last time I was in there

>>60687135
Because the biggest market for those super cheap boards is gamers, and gamers want trashy gamer aesthetic, often without a numpad.

>>60687566

Switches will all basically feel the same regardles of what keyboard they are in. The drevo uses outemu, which are clones of cherry switches with identical names. So just go to microcenter and try out all their keyboards. Mine has a few ones with outemu and gateron switches, and an even smaller few have topres

That's not cheap though. Cheap mechs are the Chinese brands that can be had for about $50 or so.

Also doesn't really disprove what I said about the gaming market, since Logitech and CM keyboards that look like that are way less popular and common compared to Corsair, Razer and other gamer aesthetic shit.

Hey, I´m currently using a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 and since a few weeks some switches activate twice when pressing them, which makes typing a real pain. Can this be fixed by a proper cleaning or is it fucked and i should get something with cherry mx switches?

I can't decide between a noppoo choc mini and the drevo gramr. Gonna go with brown switches on either, anyone have any experience as to which is the better quality board? I would expect the better quality one to be the choc mini but I hear it has issues with debouncing?

Those look like GMK honeywell, unless the chinks cloned those.

Ill be cool if they did. That like 150 burgerbucks for keycaps

It would be better if it was PBT

>>60685432
Topre feels like shittier buckling springs and slightly better then dome keyboards. It is overhyped and I suspect that it is liked cause it is from Japan and it is overpriced so everybody can't just buy one and say it is shit.

>>60694355
>those bezels

>>60694434
Apparently it is metal as well. Why does it look bad?

>>60694413
What? Topre feels nothing like BS. I'd compare it to browns or reds depending on the weight.

>>60694413
>>60694553
I typed on BS for a long time and moving to MX browns made me realize BS's were build for big meaty american hands like mine.

Hi, just ordered more o-rings to double stack them on my chinkforce.

>>60680774
Why every review for o-rings on Amazon it's someone complaining that it takes long and is tedious? Literally takes 20 minutes to fill a keyboard with them.

What is so good about 60% keyboards? I feel like the arrow keys are important and for the god life of me I cannot justify buying a 60% keyboard. Who exactly are they build for?

>>60694694
For me it's the ergonomics and extra desk space. Having the keyboard positioned center to your body helps a lot. Also clears a lot of room for your desk and mouse. I play a lot of games and I never bump into my keyboard with a %60, but with a full keyboard I'm bumping into that shit constantly.

It's also weird at first to have the arrow keys under a layer, but you get used to it and it's not bad at all. I only keep a keyboard with arrow keys around for games that use them for primary movement, like touhou.

>>60694694
For those with large mouse pad.

Hail to the king! This keyboard is beast with nice font and budget friendly.

its seriously bugging me the fuck out how useless the right side modifiers are... does anyone even use these?
and they are present in every single layout (even the 40% memeboards)

Just because you don't use them wouldn't mean it useless.

Full size keyboard here.

I'm torn between this and one of the enjoypbt sets.

>>60697496
>>60697557
those are some nice keycaps. the dsa profile keys are so sexy. idk how those ever become 'retro' in the sense that they feel so nice to type on why did we move away from that. I remember every old PC having DSA keys

>>60698965
Expensive. The average user wants to pay $5-10 for a keyboard, not $50-$100

Even at scale, DSA caps aren't cheap.

>>60699047
interesting. what about the profile makes it more expensive to manufacture compared to other profiles?

>>60699121
It's the company behind it, not the profile

Embarrassing for you. I've had mine for less than 5 years. Bro, do you even type?

>>60699391

S and C is worn out.

I see you run backwards and hide a lot in games you fucking pussy.

>>60699406
I don't game. Try again, loser.

>>60699449
you're a huge South Carolina fan?

>>60699577
It probably has something to do with how I type combined with those letters' frequencies. My ring finger has no dexterity, so I hit the "s" with my middle finger and the "c" with my index finger in such a way that my fingernail often makes contact with those keycaps. Combine that with those letters also being very common and not only are those letters wearing off, but I get gouges in the tops of the keys as well. There are other keys on my keyboard that don't ever see my fingernail, though, like "w" and "e," which are wearing down as well.

The keycaps Filco uses are pretty low quality, so if you really used yours for 7 years and you're really not getting any wear to the keycaps, then you aren't typing enough.

>>60699047
The chink clones are like 40-70 bucks depending on what you want. Custom sets will cost more, and the price will come down overtime since SP sold their old toolings to the chinks. Vortex has SP DSA sets coming soon.

What are some good switches for someone doing a bit everything on its computer ?
Sometimes I do enjoy playing games after a day of work, sometimes I'll just spend a few hours coding... some other time I just waste my time on the internet..
What should I look at ? My current keyboard is a bit shitty and I realise it more and more.
I don't really care about the noise, my current one never bothered me while being noisy.

A few questions:

does anyone have an ortholinear keyboard?
If so, which kind do you have?
Any recommendations?

Got some cheap chink PBT DSA blanks for my Anne Pro. Was a bit worried about not finding my way without the F and J bumps, but the different shape feels so good and actually a lot better.

Can anyone recommend another nice chink PBT set that doesn't have issues with backlight bleed? Need one for my TKL. I like the EnjoyPBT sets, but they're way too expensive at over $80. There's a Dolch set on AliExpress that looks nice, but I'm worried about the lighter keys having some bleed.

because i think the 'advantages' of orthlinear are questionable, and at the very least it isn't worth limiting yourself to only a handful of options

u do u tho. if it looks cozy enough to try for you then you might as well.

>>60701066
I'm content with my staggered 60%, but I was wondering if the comfortable ortho meme was true for others. It's a pretty expensive endeavor to gamble on, so I think I'll pass. Anyway, thanks anon

the only thing the varmilo has going for it is the metal case, otherwise get the tada

>>60701365
varmilo va68m is another option

>>60701395
is there any cheap case for the tada, not necessarily metal since I have heard that it's way too heavy, but something just better than the default plastic case it comes with

>>60701605
Either the default plastic one or the aluminum case, which shouldn't be that heavy, just expensive.

>>60700812
gr8 b8 m8 I r8 it an 8

anyone prefer typing when their keyboard is on a softer surface (mouse mat)? I recently started using a mouse mat with my topre, and I swear to god it feels more comfortable/faster. I play typeracer from time to time and I'm quite fast already, and with the mouse mat I can type like 5-10 wpm faster. And my topres sound better to me. Weird

>>60697131
That's probably supposed to be the backspace since you can see the del key grouped with the others on the numpad

>>60696610
I like the layout on this one. What's it called?

>>60701104
There's nothing ergonomic about the ortho layout, and the Planck creator has said so in the past. The advantages are solely in complete programmability and a the full set of bottom row keys.
It does look really nice, however.

Speaking of ergonomics, has there ever been an attempt at a variable weight cherry board? I know Topre has a couple, and the worst it would require is some tedious replacing of springs.

>>60703278
Yeah some autists do it when building custom boards and some even do weird shit like linear alphas, tactile mods and clicky esc, caps and arrow keys

Most people don't care for it enough to put the effort in, hell only a few people even do the old heavyweight spacebar thing

>>60682748
is it tipro?

>>60687738
Yeah man, the IKBC C87 would be what your looking for. Just ordered mine.
