Hello guys, my first post here, so let's hope this goes well ;)

Here it is:

It only cost me 8£ brand new. Why is it good you ask? I shall tell you.

Well, first of all: this keyboard is from Logitech, which is undoubtedly the best keyboard manufacturer today.

It is a rather common keyboard, yes; but because it is a Logitech, somehow it doesn't feel cheap. It's like the brand itself makes a crappy keyboard turn into a great one. I don't know, Logitech has always made me feel comfortable with cheaper products.

The keys are superbly well distributed, and your fingers won't touch the surrounding keys like some other ones I've tried. The keys are also not very soft, nor very hard to press down on. You know, this keyboard makes it just right, so that you can actually take advantage of the impulse that the rebounding keys give you.

This keyboard makes you feel like gravity is actually working WITH you, rather that against you.

Another thing I absolutely love about it, is the space bar. It is just the right size, and not too small or too big like on some other crappy keyboards from other manufacturers. The space bar is the most balanced key in the whole keyboard, it sits right at the center, and you can actually use it without looking at the keyboard. I mean, that's just brilliant design.

It's an USB keyboard. This makes it perfect for use with modern computers, and even laptops and netbooks. No more using that old crappy PS/2 port. We're in 2017, people.

I could be here all day, but in the end, I just wanted to share with you my experience with this marvelous piece of peripheral engineering.


I recommend this keyboard to anyone.

Used chiclet styles for years and years. Bought a Leopold FC750R with blues and just not really feeling it. Lack of media keys and the pressure I need to press down to type are kinda hurting my hands. Maybe I just need to invest in an ergonomic keyboard tray? Not sure.

No. The keys get stiff after a few months of good use. The space bar WONT STOP FUCKING SQUEAKING.
These two are a big enough problem that it overshadows all the positives about it. It comes so fucking close to being a 10/10, but ends up being a 3/10 with glaring flaws.

>Good luck anon. Keep us posted, I'm interested.
yep, will do.

btw, here's the best pic of the set I could find. One thing I realized right away is that whole bottom row is gonna be unusable for my current keyboard. Ctrl, Alt, Win, Spacebar... they're all JIS dimensions.

I don't have the pic of the right side but I presume it's ISO enter, kana key etc. I can basiclaly forget about fitting that part as well.

But alphas, numpad, arrows, "system" keys are all standard on JIS keyboards (from my research anyway).

Will it be worth the trouble? I think so. I'll find some other cheap black PBT set with no legends and just pair it up.

>>61686578
it's a jap manufacturer that lists what they make in a fucking giant-ass PDF file. It felt like it was from 2001 (but the file is their 2016 catalog).

I managed to find it after I paid some girl on Fiverr to translate a bunch of keyboard terms for me into Japanese. That helped me find this plastics company. I then asked her to translate a page from this PDF and then translate my email to japanese because I bet they don't speak a word of English.

If I manage to buy it, I'll let you know the email and how to order it. Will I get a reply this week? Who the fuck knows.

Sit tight. I'll have an update maybe tomorrow evening.

>>61686636
I think it'll be worth it. It's something somewhat unique and for not a terrible price (assuming). They look to be pretty good quality from looking at the pictures.

i've looked into keycaps like this before. spent months looking, contacting etc.

got nowhere. even managed to talk to a representative from Ducky who speaks good english, he/she told me that these types of keycaps are really exclusive to japan and china.

even if you were to get them, you'll be spending a literal ton of money on shipping. it will also take months for them to get to you.

not worth the trouble you'll go through, trust me.
>>
>>61686998
We'll see how it goes. I've deal with these sorts of companies in the past when I was buying computer parts for japanese devices. I probably have 33% chance of getting this done. I'm willing to waste some more time and money translating shit and talking to them. I think I have a chance of convincing them to sell me a "sample".

I want a slightly larger mech keyboard for work, it doesn't need to be backlit, but it has to have the menu button, don't know what it's called, the one that does the same thing as the right click.

If I can get also PBT keys while still staying in budget, that would be great.
If it has a detachable cable, that would be great as well.

Have you looked into the Easterntimes I500 or were you after something nicer? It fits your requirements perfectly minus the PBT keys.

This. Also you can get cheap-ass blank PBT caps for $20.

The right-click button can be emulated using autohotkey I'm pretty sure

I asked last thread, but that got no where.
Since Cherry reds are scratchy and kinda shitty, how do Razer yellows compare to Gateron reds?
Not taking price, product, brand reputation, build or anything into account, just purely switch vs switch.
Greetech vs Gateron.

The reds I have and the yellows I've felt in store feel strikingly similar.

>I've heard blues are pretty close
All the Cherry MX style switches are the same, they just have different weight, and either do or do not have a tactile bump, and some have more of a bump than others.
>>
>>61692088
I know. What I was saying was in terms of feel while typing i.e wight and the bump. People have told me that reds, browns, and blues all feel pretty similar.
>>
>>61691896
Capacitive is much higher quality. The popular opinion is that they feel and sound better. They also last a hell of a lot longer, have nkro, and are easier to maintain.
>>
>>61692153
Well, considering reds have no bump I'd say those people are retarded.
>>
>>61692645
They're partially right though, reds and browns are so similar I would describe browns as reds that didn't pass QC.
>>
>>61692570
Yeah but they aren't as loud, the whole point of buckling springs is to annoy the people around you.

Eh, it's certainly great for looking around, but don't expect to find anything terribly interesting. It's mostly just the regular cherry switches (e.g. no clears or greens), and Topre. Compare things with domestic prices before you buy anything unless you want to buy a JIS layout Topre board, there's probably not going to be much savings.

In any case, enjoy traveling in Japan, the food is great, supposedly everyone is racist as shit, but if you speak their language they'll invite you to a good restaurant for dinner and introduce you to their colleagues. Make sure to visit Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, and make sure to visit Kyoto in the first place.

I'm looking for a keyboard with a PS/2 cable, would rather not use an adapter, autism is the reason.

>Budget
$150
>Location
USA
>Preferred switch type
I like linear switches that aren't loud, so reds/blacks
>Layout
ANSI, would like a super key and media buttons.
>Form factor
100%
>Backlight
They're nice enough I'd like it
>Previous/current keyboards
Plenty of membranes, Wyse terminal keyboard with blacks (I missed my super key), Corsair K90 with the huge fucking macro key shit (was annoying), Logitech G810 Orion.

I'd really like one with native PS/2 if anyone knows any.
>>
>>61694454
Thanks! I only speak a little bit of japanese but my teacher is coming with us so it should be ok. We're skipping Kyoto this time, but I'll be sure to visit next time when I'm there. And I can't wait to stuff my face with whatever food I'll find.

So are there Topre on display that you can try out? Would love to feel a genuine Topre and maybe buy something cheaper. Do you recommend any particular shops near Shibuya?

After looking at a bunch of chinkshit sets on Ali and reading the reviews, it seems that every one of them has some issues and most just look like shit.

It boggles my mind that chinks can't even properly typeset 3 letters.

And all this bullshit to save $10? Ugh.

Hope they improve over the coming years. Until then, I'm just gonna buy a $50 non-chink set that looks decent.

Recently found a At101w in an attic somewhere but it doesn't function. Took it apart and every switch I tested works no surprise. Since I can't find any scorch marks on the board I'm assuming it's the chip. Anyone have any idea where I can find a pinout for it or any info on the board itself?

Got these chink caps today for my Turtle Beach Impact 500 (it's essentially a non-backlit ducky with mx blues don't diss). Any tips how to cover those spots where I have no correct size key (lshift, enter, "<" and "ä")?? I'm thinking of using the original black keycaps or buying some color blanks or buying "correct" ones with a "close enough" color (if I can even find).

There's Topre on display in every major electronics store in Akihabara, 35, 45 and 55g, so you'll get to finger them to your heart's content.

You can get a good meal at just about any convenience store, or at those places that have ticket machines with which you order your food with. Just don't get any pre-packaged meals with chicken from a convenience store unless you have a fetish for violent diarrhea. Though raw chicken at restaurants seems to be just fine in my experience, not to mention very tasty.

As for learning Japanese; If you aren't learning 25 new words and ten new Kanji a day, then you won't be able to learn Japanese, ever. It's literally impossible.

On a more serious note, language classes are typically a waste of time and money. Go check out the /djt/ on /int/ (used to be on /a/ until some stupid mods decided to move it to /int/ for no good reason), and take a look at the guide (https://djtguide.neocities.org/guide.html). It has everything you need to get you started on the path to teaching yourself Japanese. The only thing it won't provide you with is the dedication to pull through, but I'm certain you have that in yourself.
If you don't, I suggest you quit being a pussy and starting grinding that vocab anyway.

Italian guy here.

On my research I've found out this keyboard exists. I think this layout is really brilliant (I'd call it an improved Model F) and I like it, but of course it comes only in fucking ANSI, and with that useless LED backlighting.

Is there anything similar on the market in ISO layout that is worth buying?

These molds are expensive. The molds for thr sony playstation 3 controler cost 1 million dollars, and it is estimated that cherrys double shot tooling is around 2 million. The VIM keycaps were expensive due to the complexty, and SA didn't really want to do them.

Hahah... I know exactly what you're trying to do. You have a Cherry 3000 caps lock and you're trying to fit it onto a regular keyboard. Been there myself.

>>
>>61702945
There's not enough space IIRC... I did measure it with calipers. You do have a point... maybe not removing the whole stem would work. You could just file down or dremel a 1/3 of it off. Then you could use some Milliput and take a blob of of it and wrap it around the old stem so it's strong and then just press it into an existing keycap (first cover it with release agent or oil) and create a new stem that way. You could also use an extra switch to press it in so you don't damage the keyboard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWT9mnaUy0M

I wouldn't bother with epoxy or superglue or anything else. it wouldn't work well at all. Get some Milliput and try it.

any keyboards that come with dolch keycaps?

Is there a keyset that's spherical, double shot, and comes with a 1u caps lock and 2u control?
I would kill for one.

Ok, so your only options right now is SP - Maxkey don't have molds for 1.75u Control or 1.25u Caps Lock yet.

The question becomes, do you want to
A. overpay on pimpmykeyboard for DSA Dolch
B. wait for a DSA groupbuy to pop up, which will then have probably a lead time of at least 5 months
C. overpay massively for an SP SA or DSA set on a mech keyboards trading site
D. wait for an SP SA groupbuy to pop up, which will then have a definite lead time of close to a whole year

What would you guys recommend for <80% non-mechanical keyboards?

I need something tiny enough to be carried, with full-sized keys, wired, and dirt cheap because it'll be all day in a bag and will take a beating, so naturally I turned to membrane keyboards. But most have meme layouts for facebook posting, with software/playback/emote keys, plain lacking critical system keys, and enough ghosting to make common shortcuts impossible.

What are my options? I spotted Perixx which from my experience with two of their mice isn't too shabby, and makes 75% keyboards. Any recommendation?

Outemu Blue but I've got a problem with the S key
It doesn't always happen, but it sometimes prints S two times.

I'm not sure how this is called.
Anyway, should I RMA or there's a way to fix it by myself?
>>
>>61709473
Its called keychatter, and basically you have to replace the switch

>>61710275
There's quite a few decent split keybaords that are premade, but if you want membrane-tier quietness you'll have to build something yourself with silent red or black switches.There's also the Matias Ergo Pro with their quiet click switches, but I don't know how good that is because no-one seems to buy Matias keyboards.

Hello

I currently have a Redragon K552 and it gets the job done but I'm interested in upgrading to something a little higher quality for under $100 what would you recommend?

Prefer lighter touch switches that are easy to press down so my hands dont get tired after prolonged use. I game a fair bit too if that is relevant.

kek. I bought it. even if it's a shit lubricant, it's so much cheaper than other oils. and I always have use for that shit (doors, hinges etc).

whats insane is that I'd have to pay 3-5x as much just for shipping that much lubricant. I guess chinks pay nothing for shipping to West. their way of subsidizing their economy.
