I drove down to the totality zone, to an unpaved road innawoods in between two backwater towns. There was no one in sight but when totality happened I heard redneck hoots and hollars from all directions. Very unnerving.

Anyone have any experiences with Das Keyboard? I'm planning on buying the Prime 13, and would like some input.

>>62026334
I had a 4 pro, it's overpriced as hell. Build quality is pretty much average, the internals are basic costar, and there's no extra features to justify pricing that matches a lot of keyboards that give you more.

>>62026334
That keyboard is waaaaaaaaay to over priced. A Ducky one is cheaper, better built, and has more features

>>62026334
It's $150 and has Cherry switches. Not worth it.

Don't worry about media keys, just worry if the keyboard is programmable or not, and then you can easily program them in.

Ducky Shine is a good choice, but most people avoid the 6 because they think it looks like trash. You'll also have to change out the keycaps; most people recommend the Ducky One with PBT keycaps instead.

>>62028770
I think it looks great but you should probably invest in new caps because that chinky typeface is awful.

>>62028965
Yeah I was looking at ordering new keycaps, but I can't complain too much for $88 AUD

All the pictures I've seen of the K70, the keycaps have this awful gamer looking font. but mine arrived with a much more neutral looking font by default.

As for the build quality, I thinky that so far the build quality on mine is excellent, only had it for a month but everything seems sturdy and solid, and the aluminium has a very nice finish.
I don't use the media keys much but I do use the volume roller a lot.

I would say it's a good keyboard but not worth the pricetag of 140 bucks. Should have honestly gone with a cheaper keyboard instead, on my previous keyboard I used SharpKeys to set up Fn+F keys to act as media controls.

Razer BlackWidow 2013; im starting to get interested in programming. furthermore I'd like to switch the layout from the german one to the ansi one. Thinking that programming would be more enjoyable. I used to game a lot and still do. thats why I think brown switches would suit me better. however, I'm kinda strong man, so I would be open to use green ones.

>>62031129
Is there anything in particular that's holding you back? It could be that because you're more used to a short key travel (like on your laptop) that you're tiring out your fingers.

If you want a mech with short key travel Havit makes one using new Khail low-profile switches.

I don't really know what causes it, it feels like the keys are out of position resulting in typos. Maybe it's because of the height-difference between the first and sixth row of keys? Is there a term to describe this? While the other keyboards have all of their keys on the same level, the keys of the noppoo are arranged in some kind of curve. I'll try stuffing something under the noppoo when I come home and check if that'll make a difference

Almost all keyboards are angled upwards.
Yours (and most other mechanical keyboards too) have sculpted keys, meaning each row has a different shape. This should actually help and not bother you.

I'm not familiar with this board, but it probably has OEM profile caps.
If you want uniform keycaps, you should look at DSA caps.

Those dip switches on the back I take it? Definitely something I'll need to work on learning to use.
The 6 look is growing on me the more I look at it. Like the side lighting. The top is the only part I don't like but I'd see it even less than the sides anyway. Has a PBT version with nature white MX switches like I've been thinking about.
I suppose the One is an option, too.
>>62030518
Yes, they do, and that's one of the main reasons I've been turned off from them, but that looks pretty alright.
Is SharpKeys easier to use than Autohotkey? I can use AHK but looking at SK it looks a little more straightforward and permanent, which is what I was hoping AHK would be without the extra work involved.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

Also as far as switch types, is there something as light as a Cherry MX Blue but not clicky? I tried my friend's K70 with browns and I just didn't care for how mushy it felt. But I don't think I really like the click of the blues and want something linear.

I need a new mouse. I would like something with a similar shape to the razer imperator & Logitech G400. It also needs to have at least two bindable buttons on the side. Anyone have a recommendation? I haven't purchased a mouse in years and it seems like the G400 is long dead with no true successor.

Are there any cheaper alternatives from razer/corsair/steel series

>>62037198
Interesting. The referb ones are like 55 cad.
To be honest I've been using my refurbished g402 I got two and a half years ago. Maybe a razer deathadder is cheaper.

SharpKeys doesn't need no be launched/on at all times to work, so you don't need to ad it to startup programs and all. I used it to hard remap keys so I could play Touhou with ESDF and Battlefield with ESDF (Battlefield is like hardcoded to set the E key yo exit/enter vehicles, which meant I couldn't play with ESDF because it'd kick me off the vehicle).
It works fine, haven't tried AHK, but I think that one is for macros as well? SharpKeys works differently.

So I'm tired of typing on a macbook at work. Unfortunately we have a meme open office so I need something that isn't much louder than a chiclet laptop keyboard. Is it possible to get quiet matias with PBT caps at a reasonable price?

If not, how loud are e.g. cherry clears with O-rings? (Compared to a typical chicpet piece of crap.) Because the third option would seem to be silenced Topre, and I don't want to get into that rabbit hole just yet.

REEEEEEEEE

Just got my first mech. Its a vortex race 3 and I am getting used to the keys. Everything seems smooth except my backspace key. For some reason it's almost sticky while all the other modifiers are nice and smooth. Is it a stabilizer or some shit? Any advice would be appreciated.

Is eagletec any good? I'm not a fan of the RGB shills so their single color keyboards are perfect for me.

>>62041229
Anyone know what to do with a sticky backspace key? You faggots told me to buy a mech and this fucking backspace isn't smooth like the other ones. THE FUCK

>>62042093
Take off the key and see if it's the switch itself that's sticking or the stabilizer. You'll probably have to replace one of those.

>>62042331
If its a brand new board should I just send it back?

What are some good cheap o-rings that don't take 3 weeks to ship?

>>62042427

>>62042534
The ones in home depot

>>62042749
Cherry clears, I've heard they sometimes have to get broken in? It's the backspace though so it has a stabilizer or something right? It's a vortex race 3

>>62040438
Matias said they were going to make their own PBT caps, but that was about a year ago. I'd still say it's better than anything Cherry; it's more tactile and quieter.

>>62042791
The caps are like a $10 walmart keyboard

>>62042874
Do you want to stick with cherry reds, or try something new?

>>62042978
Im fine with getting something different.

Why is there so little supply of custom topre keycap sets. It seems as though there is a lot of demand online?

>>62043040
Do you need a numpad or f-keys, and do you care about back lighting?

OK, a little bit of help please.
I'm looking at a GH60% board on Taobao, and the Google-Translated switch selection is weird:

1. 樱桃黑轴 Cherry black shaft
2. 樱桃茶轴 Cherry tea shaft
3. 樱桃红轴 Cherry red axis
4. 樱桃青轴 Cherry green axis
5. 樱桃绿轴 Cherry green axis
6. 樱桃奶轴 Cherry milk shaft
7. 樱桃白轴 Cherry white shaft
8. 樱桃段落灰 Cherry paragraph gray
9. 樱桃线性灰 Cherry linear gray

My question is about #6 to #9.
I assume "milk" means MX Clear while "white" is the rare MX White?
What about #8 and #9?
Thanks, buds.

Are there any wireless mkb with silent black switches? Looking to put a ISO Nordic keyset on it.

I find this absolutely disgusting. why you might ask? well, to save 1/2" in length, you've completely lost the ability to find arrow and other keys (Ins, Del, Prscr etc) by feel. you have to look down before you can place your fingers on keys on the right side of the board. you seem to have plenty of table space is'd purely form over function.

also, those feet are non-removable? that angle is awful for RSI.

and that light is just fucking annoying and serves no functional purpose.

GMK keys? another huge fail.

The KBP V80 is notoriously shitty when it comes to Matias switches. Like, it's considered one of the worst keyboards ever made because you will ALWAYS get one with a handful of broken switches. You should've posted here before you bought your shit.

>>62044409
You'll only need to solder the switches.

If you really want something similar to having an RGB base, or RGB in general, there are keyboards out there that do way better a job than the shit that MK is selling. The design is interesting, but you can just grab a Chinese custom with a better, maybe brighter, RGB base.

Why are you mad? I just want a second keeb because my ducky shine 3 is showing signs of wear after a couple years of daily typing and gaming. I've even used the approved lubricant on the switches but a couple of them are starting to feel uneven and rough. Also 3 leds burned out so I'd rather get a non-backlit keyboard this time. I only bought the shine 3 because it was available locally.

Went from full size to a 60% and already regretting it. I have 2 full size with brown switches and a Leopold fc660m with blue switches. What should I try next? I want a TKL now.

>>62047668
Yes, you can, pinout and sizes are the same across all MX switches and clones.
There is some nuances though. PCB mounted switches have 2 extra plastic legs (you'll have to cut em if you accidentally buy 5-pin instead of 3-pin), there is some differences in cutouts for LED, Kaihl have different upper shell design (not that it matters though)

Who /dual keyboard/ here?

Blues are the exact opposite. They suck for gaming but are amazing for writing and productivity.

>>62032593
>is there something as light as a Cherry MX Blue but not clicky

Reds?

If I'd swap the stem of a cherry silent black to a clear stem, would I get a silent clear?

>>62049747
It would be easier to get silencing clips, but yeah it would work

>>62049747
Don't listen to >>62049761 it won't do anything. The stem is where the silencing is, there's little rubber bits on the top and bottom of it. The housing is just standard Cherry.

>>62045375
KBP is known for mangling their Matias switches.
Alps type switches are easy to damage during assembly if you're ham fisted. The switch plates can be misaligned if the pins don't pop through the board straight and you proceed to solder without fixing them.

>>62049896
Obviously only a problem on simplified switches, but since nobody makes complicated with the sandwich assembly that's all you'll see.

>>62048474
I don't trust KBP to assemble a board with Matias switches properly but when they actually work it's fine.

No, they are laser engraved. That is not the PBT model. The PBT keycaps are laser engraved.

I did a three step of 120, 320, and my next up is 600 then 1000 and I also have 2000.

I stopped at 600 and it was still cloudy. Neither 1000 or 2000 seem to actually cut into the pbt enough to do the job. Just stays whitish.

>>62050167
It is the PBT model? Can you not read English? Anyway you already started so there is no point

>>62050403
Sorry, this *is* the PBT model.

I don't know why I put "not" in there.

I did the caps lock key and both of the cooler-master logoed super keys. I use these as three super keys in Linux so them looking a bit off actually looks just fine.

So, got a quick question. Does anyone, or has anyone here owned the Corsair K70 LUX RGB keyboard series?
I bought a Corsair Strafe RGB blue keyboard just a few months ago and loved it for while I had it, but quickly found an issue with one of the keys repeating more and more.
RMA'd it, finally got round to sending it and its arrived. Corsair yesterday sent me a message about it which I didn't see until today, saying that they no longer deal with the Strafe RGB but because of that, they'll give me a K70 LUX RGB with brown switches instead.

I paid £99 as an offer price on my first keyboard, normally meant to be £120. The LUX is listed at £160, so I'm imagining it'll be higher grade regardless.
Still, anyone have any advice/experience with it at all?

Thinking I'm going to miss the clicky blues in a way, but browns don't sound bad.

>>62049645

How's the quality? Are they at least thick enough? Is there a colour/printing combination I should avoid? (I was looking at side printed grey/beige)

Also is there a better place for UK? I don't want to pay $40 shipping

>>62051295
>UK
Just stick to corsair and razer. If you're lucky you might be able to get a Cooler Master or a Ducky keyboard there.

>>62051480
It's probably better value to pay for shipping than buy Corsair or Razer.

Also chinks ship everywhere, my tada had free shipping

Uh did everyone die or something?

Tripfags never really leave, anon. I ought to know, I was once known without even having to use a name or trip on another part of 4chan and it took me a very, very long time to break the habit.

>>62051252
Ok, seriously, can anyone tell me whether the KBPv60 is programmable and what's the keycap quality like?

Because
>best switches
>options are:
>notorious for poor QC chink brand
>official board with horrible keycaps and horrible design
>meme artisan-grade kits and groupbuys, like the Atreus
>overpriced even more meme self-built

I despair

>>62053625
I don't think they are programmable and your keycap options are limited to:
Shitty stock keycap
Salvaged PBT off of used alps boards
Double shot abs

>>62026168
get rid of that fucking walther

>>62053449
Stenography is a bitch.

>>62053705
>shitty stock
Are you talking about the matias one, the KBP one, or both?

>>62053449
Same.

currently on the 75% magicforce with gateron blacks and enjoying it I just want to get a decent board with clicky keys

Anyone know where I can order a cherry key tester in Australia?

>>62054150
Both.

>>62054777
Do you guys have amazon? If not then aliexpress has plenty of them

Ding ding. We have a winner

>>62055894
Wow! Who could've known?

Is there any modular 75% keyboard out there?

Are those chink keyboard with genuine MX switches good? Friend has one with brown switches and while the button wobble game is riddiculous, playing Street fighter on it made me regret buying an arcade stick. His is "STRIKEBATTLE RED X GAMING" or somethings stupid like that.

>>62056216
If they're not overpriced, and you don't care about looks, then why not

But Gateron is better anyway, except arguably for blues

Where to buy a tx-75, I literally cannot find any site to buy from online

>>62056488
>Where do I buy a custom limited Edition keyboard
The answer is you message the creator and have him make you a custom one
Also don't expect to pay less then $300 for a bare bones kit

>Budget
80$~ 100 tops
>Location (continent at least)
germany
>Preferred switch type
as long as it's cherry / has amazing feedback (had blue and loved it)
>Layout
dont mind, less keys the better! cute design is a plus
>Form factor
??
>Backlight
plsno
>Previous/current keyboards
had a deathadder for 5~ years and loved every moment, sadly cat pissed on it

>>62056954
F62 ultra compact. The cutest, most tactile keyboard in existence (capacitive buckling springs are way better than membrane buckling spring, which are miles above anything cherry-style).

Or you can get the classic case, and have a 60% keyboard that's probably bigger than most 100%s. That could also be considered cute.

Also it's about 4 times your budget but that's a minor detail, I'm sure you'll be fine

>>62057031
i aint paying this much for a board of keys

>>62056954
...Deathadder is a mouse. Dumbass

>>62057195
lol my bad, i meant the blackwidow.

>>62057136
Ok then Plank or Atreus have the least amount of keys like you wanted, they come in a variety of switches

>>62057276
So do I, but they never work afterwards.

>>62057293
Har har

>>62057195
fucking faggot idiot didnt know it was a mouse what a fucking faggot

>>62056385
Looks good, what switches?

How do buckling springs feel compared to gateron blues? I use gateron blues and they feel really light

Just got some cherry clears and they are money
