keyboards are lame

I've been using Cherry Blacks on a 60% and most switches are already smoother than stock. How much longer do I need to use this before I can sell them as vintage blacks?

I'm thinking another two years to make sure the less used keys are really smoothed out.

A local guy is selling his half-year-old black HHKB for around $167 (30% off the retail price where I live).
Is it worth it? Sure it's used, but it's still a legit HHKB.

I was considering selling my silenced novatouch and an old poker 2, do you think people will buy them even if they have to pay 20 euros for shipping?

>>61776623
worth, if you don't like it you can flip it for profit

>>61776623
Doesn't the rubber in topre gets stiffen with time?

>>61777151
Depends on the price (and age)

If they're so old they're worth €30, you'll either pocket €10 or have to try to sell it for €50, neither of which are very good. If, however, you sell it for €150, you can easily afford to offer free shipping

Hmmm not what I've seen so far. DSA is pretty popular both at Geekhack and r/mk

Guise i need your opinion.
I currently have a keyboard with aristotle switches. But they are failing due to their age i guess the metal contacts are the problem. So i have a budget of 50 bux and was thinking of either buying gateron blue switches and doing the gateron + aristotle mod or buying a new board with gateron blue and doing the mod there or not at all if it's not worth it.

If you've never tried Cherry, you should just get them because they're the safe bet. XDA is new, but is really just a higher profile DSA, so take that as you will.

There is literally nothing wrong with Gateron.

>>61775294
what keyboard is that? really want

>>61781032
Try a model M or a Dell at101 with black or white alps. Both can be bought for less than $50 in good condition and at the most $100 for great condition. If you don't want to gamble on used alps, wait a bit for matias to release their new keyboards or get a kbp v60 or v80. Their clicky and quiet click switches are very good and smooth.
You can try unicomp for a "new" model m, but I don't recommend them because they are dodgy on quality.
Topre is the last option, but that's breaking into $200+ territory and I personally don't think they are that great.

I've got these two, the first one is the Magicforce Quisan keyboard Outemu brown switches, the other one is the Surface Keyboard, which has apple style switches(chicklet) and has more premium quality feel than the chinky one.

I fear I'm starting to like the microsoft one way better, the magicforce feels wobbly and cheap in comparison.

>>61781510
Mostly, design inertia. Same reason Mini-USB is still the standard connector for custom mechanical keyboards, because it's always been that way and so many things are built around it that it's hard to change.

Cheap and standardized stem and base dimensions.

ALPS/Matias and Topre are both superior to Cherry. Cherry's garbage that requires lubrication not to feel sandy/scratchy. And even then they feel like shit.

I'm gonna build a 75% board with Matias switches when I get some free time. Already ordered the switches.

>>61781579
>Do you guys consider chicklet keyboards mechanical?
No. By definition mechanical keyboards are those that use springs in their switches. Chiclet keyboards use rubber domes to actuate.

can anyone recommend a decent scissor-switch keyboard, or a mechanical with very low travel (not ML).

I've been getting back into fighting games with Tekken, and all my muscle memory's tied to the X200's board. The Realforce I'm using has far too much travel.

It's a bitch to move around, when it's on a flat surface it's hard to get your fingers underneath it to lift it, and it weighs like 5KG so it's not exactly the lightest thing to carry around once you do have it off the desk.

Literally like a rational adult explain what you dislike about either, Satan.

>>61787326
the fact that you add nothing to this general with constantly reposting your same keyboard with the same keycaps over, and over, and over again.

Anyone have a good suggestion that meets these criteria:
>RGB backlighting capable, but ONLY the letters not the entire fucking key
>can take standard Cherry style keycaps
>full size with numpad
>compact bezels
>cherry MX blue or similar.
Have a Ducky DK2108S and honestly if it were RGB I'd be set for life but I want to upgrade.

Is there a type of switch that feels like a broken-in cherry blue? Like basically a blue with less actuation force? This one feels like it's easier than it always used to be and I am actually kind of liking the feeling.
>USB hub/pass through would be nice but not necessary.

Hey dude check it out, see this gun? If it somehow fails I'll have another gun as back up, this one here. And if something ever happens to THIS gun, I'll have ANOTHER back up gun, which is effectively the backup gun to my backup gun. But hold on a second anon, there's more. A have another back up gun, one specially made and tailored as a backup gun for my backup gun's backup gun, which in fact perfectly suits my backup gun's backup gun for my backup gun's backup gun, because it itself is a backup gun for said backup gun's backup gun's backup gun.
