>>61951439
If you have the money and the patience I would. You know you can resell those keysets for a ton of money if you keep them in good shape?
There is a subreddit where people pay crazy prices for shit.
I would even sell my ass for Hyperfuse or GMK Hydro.

noppoo choc mini
dont buy it, horrible key chatter issues since they switched to gateron switches. No issues with the cherry mx variants but those no longer exist. it's my special snowflake keyboard. I've bought two over the last 4 years.

>>61951472
noppoo choc mini but they don't use cherries

>>61951602
slickdeals was telling me the gaterons (or one of the clones) were "smoother". is that all horseshit or what?

bought a monoprice mx blue keyboard for $45 (full RGB backlighting) recently, I heard iOne is the OEM which isn't fantastic but figure at that price it's worth it with 1 year manufacturer + 2 year extended credit card warranty = 3 years total. but it made me curious to try a board with gaterons.

>>61951618
>>61951602
the layout is a 84 key, right? I was just asking because I'm getting a 84 key soon and most complete keycap sets don't include the special sized keys like the 1.75 right shift key. where did you get the caps? please no aliexpress, I won't buy from a page that doesn't support paypal

If I build a xdre75 and I find out I don't like the ortholinear layout how much could I sell it for? More or less than the sum of all the parts?

>>61951634
well then too bad, no caps for you unless you buy overpriced ones

>>61951621
No, it's true. Gateron switches are generally regarded as superior. I'm also a big fan of outemu blacks, they're great.
The problem has something to do with the keyboard and it's design.
>>61951634
aliexpress

>>61951634
Don't buy an 84 key, just get normal TKL. Only the best of the best deserve to own the 75% layout and you are certainly not one of them.

>>61951602
The key chatter is there because they cloned cherry's real key technology very poorly. people say if you disable it most of the problems go away

34KB, 666x599px

>>61951675
How can you disable it? You mean the NKRO? The noppoo simulates 5 different keyboards being plugged in at the same time to give good NKRO and as far as I know there is no way to disable it.
The only fix I've found for it, which is more or less perfect, is a software fix. Pic related. It still messes up sometimes by missing a key press or missing a chatter and the faster you type the more CPU it uses. If I press keys as fast as I can it can get up to 70% of my 6600k.

>>61951666
>you are certainly not one of them.
what makes you think that?

>>61951721
Your unwillingness to use anything but paypal.

>>61951700
You know there is a hardware switch to adjust the keychatter on their keyboards, as well as one to disable nkro and their stupid real key technology. Did you not read the manual?

in old home we have saying
mechanical keyboard is like butterfly because when old man goes on hunting trip he take the beauty in the woods and drink
such beautiful. never defeat mechanical keyboard. great fun kinding on

>>61951750
It didn't come with a manual and the hardware switch for the keychatter doesn't help what so ever. Trust me, I've fucked with it for hours and I've owned the gateron variant for a year.
Whats the keybind to disable real key?
The boards are absolute dog shit since they switched to gateron but I still like it. It's a shame noppoo stopped making them and sold all their tooling to plum.

>>61951734
I'm not unwilling to use anything but PayPal. If the shop is located in my home country I typically pay via debit card.

What's the best 75% layout to build? I have a TKL but want something smaller. Not a meme 60% though

>>61952230
>build
Winkeyless B.Mini is nice in terms of customizability.
The PCB is great, and apparently now also supports QMK.
They do flex a little if you push them down hard enough due to the acrylic pancake case. Not that this will ever happen while typing normally.

>>61951789
So, are Plum boards shittier than Noppoo? I've seen some Plums both mechanical and topre clone around Ali.

>>61952278
I just want one with normal keycaps so I can replace them easily. Does that even exist?

>>61952392
I can't speak for them but I will be buying the plum nano 45g soon.
I suspect they are of high quality just like noppoo. Noppoo's only issue is keychatter. They are god their otherwise.
POM feels so fucking good you have no idea

>>61952409
I'm torn between buying a small decent board for cheap or going all out for XD75 PCB-mount build.

>>61952454
Just find a cheap TKL with your switch of choice. I'm a fan of gateron blue and outemu blacks.
There are tons of options on us amazon and aliexpress.
I would personally avoid RGB backlighting on cheap boards because they're very prone to failure.

>>61952454
I am also debating about the XD75 build

Is sculpted more ergonomic than non-sculpted?

>>61953764

>>61952394
No, all 75% boards have a 1.5 right shift.
The bottom row you can make standard. At the cost of only two buttons right of the spacebar.

>>61953764
Cherry profile best profile.
Sculpted but relatively flat.

SA and everything trying to emulate it is a meme.

I want to paint the pbt keys rather than buy a new keyset. Matte black, matte dark grey, and a couple light grey.

I am thinking that automotive primer plus a matte sealant clearcoat will be enough to prevent wear for at least a year or two. I can also get an oliophobic spray to deal with finger oils.

Is there anything I need to know?

Fuck you faggots for bringing me into the mech-meme. My Corsair Swift RGB board had too much chatter after 2 months and it was starting to really bother me, so I've gone and got an RMA# and finally sent it out just ten minutes ago.
It took me five fucking minutes to write a small paragraph on facebook with the different layout of my old keyboard. Its so annoying to go back and it feels like utter shit going back to rubber.
Ugh.

I don't want to be in this situation again after this.

Legends on Race 3 stock keycaps just tend to be misaligned in general. I see at least a couple on every single photo of one. Here are ones on my board.

Kinda sad since I really like everything else about those keycaps. Doesn't bother me enough to buy a better set.

What's the loudest keyboard I can get? I have gateron blues and they aren't loud enough and I barely feel the tactile bump while typing.

>>61972094
I'd say Model M. If you want it extra loud buy a new one from Unicomp. They use thinner plastic to it sounds really high pitched and hollow.

I have a Ducky One TKL RGB and it's a great board. I changed it to ergo clears, but even with stock switches I thought it felt a bit better than my Leopold with the same switches.

I am waiting for one in the mail with cherry mx clears and I may get another for my office because the price seems like such a good deal. I've never owned a mech before so it would be kind of bold ordering 2 before I try the first one.

>>61973599
Are they actually good? They look like cheap "gamer" shit.

>>61974119
I have a ducky one and there is nothing wrong with it, but cherry switches were just underwhelming for me personally. If you like a switch there is nothing wrong with buying two keyboards of the same brand.

>>61972094
Model F or matias clicky

Or just skip all that and get an IBM beamspring

>>61974193
Thats the biggest issue. I got a cherry switch tester and the best one for me by far was the clear. It's just for $90 you get a solid keyboard with thick pbt keycaps

Filco manila air

>>61959187
Genuinely curious if you have another keyboard? Im sure you've been asked before but do you?

>>61974334
Why would he need it?

So I've used MX browns which are scratchy and don't even feel that accurate. I've also used kailh browns which are wobbly and inaccurate as all heck, but to their credit feel much nicer than MX imo.

I used a topre keyboard for a bit and it didn't have that issue, but the bump was really wide and vague and I felt like actuation was far before the real bump.

Neither of them come close to the accurate feeling of MX blues, but fuck the plastic-y clicking noise they make.

tl;dr does there exist a tactile (non-clicky) switch with concise and accurate tactility, i.e. a distinct bump and actuation right at the bump?

I heard zealios can deliver but you'd have to really convince me to go down that rabbit hole.

>>61974358
When did I say he needed it? Oh wait I didn't.

>>61974372
Did you try tactile alps, or their modern clones by matias or tai hao

>>61974179

matias QC does sound like what you want. Bump and actuation are near the top. And far more tactile than any mx.

I have two old gayman membrane backups in my closet and a Razor Blackwidow with blues that I loaned to a friend indefinitely because it's shit, but I have one PC so I have no need for multiple mechanical keyboards. The only other computer in the house is a HTPC and I can't imagine sitting 10 feet away clacking away on a full size mechanical with a 15 ft extension.

I've tried a variety of switches but like brown the best, so I've stuck with the Filco.

>>61974553
Well I really like your filco so there's no need to fix something that is broken right?

>>61974558
I've also heard pretty good things about the MOD switches. What's out there for matias switches? I don't give a shit about muh keycaps

>>61969194
The only problem is the 1.75 Shift, which most sets should have as either default or an extra mod kit.

>>61969299
64-68% is fine if you don't need the F keys (i.e you're on a Mac)

>>61969127
I like the TADA and its Gateron Brown switches so much I have two, a beige one and a newer 'Snow White' one.
Buy the kit if you want Zealio or such.
The only problematic keycap is the 1.75 Shift, which is not that hard to find.

>>61969975
Razer is just barely non-taboo-level-of-Corsair around these parts.
Unless you really want that gamer aesthetic (which ages really fast once you start to get a job), I wouldn't recommend it.

>>61974606
I've heard of MOD, I would really want to try them first though before committing to DIY. Same goes for zealios, I guess.

For matias, there's http://matias.ca/products/ and I don't know if there's others.

It's kind of a waste to get two same boards to pop your cherry, as getting to try different layouts and switches is a big part of this hobby.
Plus, it's very unlikely that your first board will satisfy your every need.
A wasted 10 bucks is less than a wasted 20 bucks, but it' s still wasted.

>>61974751
>>61974680
Im looking at the mini quiet pro. I like the layout of it a lot. Still not sold on matias though cause I haven't tried the switch

>>61974558
Do you like zealios? Are they a meme?

>>61974782
But what else is tactile without the click? Should I get a switch tester for every switch type? Seems like such a process

>>61974786
>Still not sold on matias
Just buy one and return it if you don't like it, that's what I did with an hhkb a while back.
I'm pretty sure amazon sells the mini quiet pro as well.
Buy it from there so that the return process is easier should you choose to do so.

>>61974786
I haven't used a zealios keyboard. I want to try one, I'm just not that sure if cherry or clones are the kind of tactility I want.

>>61974818
Zealio is MX Clear but smoother.
The MOD switch is also a thing now.
I'm just saying, buy the Ducky yes, but maybe keep your options open and don't get two of them.
Hell, who knows, maybe you won't like MX Clear after all. It's a common thing around here, to not like a switch that you once hype up.

>>61974973
Yeah I agree with you. I just don't know what else to get. Might just order the matias off amazon and return it if I don't like it. I got prime so I can get it quickly

>>61975967

why? Its PCB mount not plate

I'm worried that PCB wouldn't fit the case. However, by the looks of it, screw holes on it and in PCB are in the same places. I'm a first-timer...

But the plastic looks like the annoying kind that would be slightly uneven. And if it's too light it'll try to escape from my fingertips. Scary thought!

If you use a proper lube it doesn't seem to need off, and since it's inside the switch it shouldn't get dirty. Krytok comes in different thicknesses ranging from thin oil to more of a grease so you can match to the switch type.
