should i buy the james donkey keyboard for $40

It's filename.

>>62227487
what makes it premium? the ridiculously high price that's based on marketing?
it will shine up and be ruined in 6 months like every other ABS set.

also it's premium because they are thick as all hell, if they did it in pbt I would cum

>>62227576

heh? why does that matter?
>also it's premium because they are thick as all hell, if they did it in pbt I would cum
who gives a shit about thickness when the top 10-20 microns is all that matters?

What's your opinion on it? Would it be an upgrade from a Logitech rubberdome?

>>62228912
There's filco with silent reds on the returned category of mechanicalkeyboards.com. $120 with free shipping in the United States.

I really like mine with +10g springs, too bad they only give you enough for half the keys, but extras aren't too expensive on amazon.

They feel pretty much linear without the +10g springs, but with them in they have a nice soft tactile bump.

Technically, anything is an upgrade over rubber domes. If you're European you might want to check out what's available in sites like keyboardco.com, candykeys.com, mykeyboard.eu, and maybe some national online hardware seller: the keyboard itself will cost a little more, but you'll pay less in shipping and won't have to bother with customs, custom fees and VAT.

I suggest to check out the Matias Quiet Pro if you need something with silent tactile switches.

Where can I find ISO layout keyboards? I'm looking to buy a cheap mech keyboard for my brother for his birthday soon and I'd like to get something with an ISO layout, because we live in Europe.

The only cheap keyboards I can find on amazon, chinkshit, are all ANSI layout. Am I SOL or is there some hidden site that indexes ISO layout keyboards?

>>62229659
Just take your keeb with you????

>>62229768

do o-rings make a switch quieter or do they only dampen feel?

>>62229759
t-thank you?

>>62229768
>cheap
Define "cheap". If you want something decent prices start from 100€ upwards.

For where to buy, this: >>62229794

>>62230206
I was thinking about one of those chinkboards with knockoff switches that go for like 50 bucks or so.
My brother is a kid, he's never used a mech keyboard except when I've let him try mine. I don't think he would really tell the difference between good switches and chink ones.

>>62230275
What do you mean by knockoff switches?

>>62230361
Cherry MX clones.

>>62230381
Gateron is better than Cherry

>>62230419
I was thinking Kailh and whatever the other ones are.

just bought a hhkb someone call me a reddit cuck

Someone tell me why my old rubber dome is more tactile than my gateron blue switches

>>62230737
years of dorito crumbs

>>62230776
It is very clean and I never touch my keyboard when eating food, I'm not a degenerate.

>>62230419
Objectively wrong

Unless worse build quality, worse QC, and more wobble make them better

>>62230737
Because Gateron blues are shit and old rubber is hard lol

>>62230275
>chinkboards with knockoff switches that go for like 50 bucks
You won't find those in Europe except, maybe, ebay or Amazon: you either find shitty boards with awful gaymer design with cherry mx switches for €50~100 on amazon, or higher quality boards with cherry mx switches from €100 upwards on specific sites. Non-cherry switched in Europe can be found in only specific keyboards, but the price won't be significantly lower than the rest. In any case check the keyboard company.

>>62230906
Damn, that's what I thought would be the case.
I think I'll just buy one of those Redragon gamer keyboards in ANSI layout and call it a day. My brother would just use it to play games on it so it's not like the different layout would fuck him up too hard.

>>62229770
That would imply that you programmed your keyboard to act as Colemak or Workman or whatever. That's certainly possible, but first of all it requires a programmable keyboard, and second it basically makes it so you can't change layouts again. Not to mention that it would be pretty tedious.

Then there's the fact that you can't carry your keyboard with you 100% of the time. If you find yourself suddenly needing to type something, you could be forced to peck at qwerty. Meanwhile, a usb can be added to your keychain and be always available.

Wtf happened to clear switches? They've doubled in price, if you can even find them in stock.

>>62230885
Ok I'm done with mechanical keyboards, every time I try a switch it sucks and then you guys say "oh that switch is shit you should have bought a different one." It seems like every switch sucks which is why you guys have like 10 different keyboards because you can't find a switch that feels good, so you keep buying more and more but you just can't find it.

>>62230947

I might buy one from amazon to try it since I know I can return it, also rubber domes have felt better than any switch I've tried besides buckling springs.

>>62231001
>spending all this money when $2 rubber dome keyboards feel best

>>62228418
AMIIIGAAAAAAAH!
How patrician. First, there were capacitors replacement services. Now keycaps. New hardware when? How many decades will they survive, I wonder?

>>62230947
Switches are personal preference. For any given switch, you'll find someone that hates it with a passion and someone that loves it to death.
That said for some objective metrics, some switches are better than other. What are you looking for? Tactility? If so, zealios or mod-m are your best bets for cherry-type switches, but you're really better off with matias or buckling springs.

Also keep in mind that good keyboards are expensive, but a lot of cheaper keyboards are "good enough". You'll see people recommending $100 boards because for most people, who are used to keyboards worth $5, that's already very expensive and they might not want to spend more. But that's like buying $50 headphones and then complaining about non-audiophile sound quality. Thankfully, unlike headphones where you can easily spend $1000 or more, for a proper, good keyboard you're probably looking at maybe $300-$500.

>>62230935
The same thing that happened to browns a few years back. They are the new "best of both worlds" meme shilled everywhere.

As for the keyboards, K120 is unbeatable.

>>62231001
Just a question, for how long are you using the new keyboards?
Are you trying the new switches for a day or two and giving up?

The first time I used a mech keyboard after using rubberdomes all my life I hated it, lots of unwanted keypresses, the tactility was off, everything felt wrong. But after a few days of using the new keyboard I fell in love with it and now I can't go back. I wouldn't say it's so much of an acquired taste as it is something that needs a bit of adjustment.

I just got a Model M2 with buckling springs for 3€, but the Pause key spring is bent and isn't clicky anymore, any way to fix this ?

>>62229345
Thanks I will look around. Matias QC would be the perfect switch for me if not for the price. The cheapest board I can get with it is like 180$.

>>62230935
You can find clears for a reasonable price on taobao.

>>62231259
Throw it in the trash and get a new one

>>62231176
>this pasta again
What?

>>62231220
I use them for about a week and still don't like them. I don't really like rubber domes as much as buckling springs but I do like them a lot more than the switches I've tried. I may try linear switches or topre next.

I tried a board with Cherry Reds and a normal board yesterday. After using Romer switches for half a year now the click of the normal board made me cringe.

I don't think I can ever go back to non-linear switches

>>62231395
Clicky switches are shit

Are short-travel compact switches the new meme? I can't see any advantage over regular ones.

>>62235786
They've been around for decades, but most of them suck. Chiclet keyboards are so much better

Is it worth buying a zealio tester? I'm thinking of buying one to see if I want the tada68 with zealios from massdrop

>>62235786
They are being redesigned by kahil and other manufacturers.
They don't have any advantage, except that some laptops will came now with a mostly decent keyboard.

>>62235756
ships in early december, not bad

i like dick in my ass, is topre for me?

>>62235786
Well, when you have tiered garbage that is Cherry & clones which, however, got everything else for them, Alps resurrected but without DIY, keyboards or options and Topre - pressing which is like touting vuvuzelas of homosexuality - you might as well try something new and go with short-travel mechanics.

Cherry ML are hated on for years, Romer G are unreliable (breaks, chatters) - but Kailh switches seem to get some praise.

>>62236746
No if it's a feminine dick.

>>62236746
No. If you like hiring for inexplicably large amounts of money the four most famous and well paid negro porn actors to shove their humongous penises together inside your sorely prolapsed boipucci, then yes.

>>62237045
Well the keyset is for women so...

How are zealios keys compared to gateron or cherry, I see the tada68 on a pretty good sale on assdrop, not sure what I want.

I currently use cherry red which feel fine. I'm curious to try brown but I hear mixed things.

I was scared to buy <blue> switches on my new keyboard, coming from reds. Best choice ever. These switches are very satisfying for everything. The only thing that I don't like about them is that they feel heavy.

It's one aspect of keyboards I literally do not care about. I like the ANSI enter layout, but I really miss the ISO extra key (who thought a humongous shift key for no reason would be a good idea), but hunting for ISO layouts is so much of a pain that I am quite fine with settling for ANSI.

Is it so hard to make cherry profile PBT keycaps?

>>62238950
Everybody knows PBT takes on a resonant frequency of 2.45Ghz when molded in cherry profile. They'd vibrate violently and explode the first time anyone operated a microwave nearby. It's just not possible, I'm afraid. Too big of a safety risk.

>>62238999
These numbers won't lie. PBT keycaps are extremely dangerous.

>>62239404
Yeah I've not heard anything on FII or AL T either but I don't think its worthwhile dropping $100 on a keyset that is mediocre when I can get an EnjoyPBT set for the same price

>>62239435
EnjoyBPT isn't SA and makes the most boring keysets ever

>>62239411
Because I can get the same feeling for half the price and spend the rest of the money on keycaps or other stuff that actually matters?

>>62239435
>>62239404
>>62239391
So don't buy it? How will I know once it's safe to buy? I assume they'll try to sell out all the old shitty stock first. I really like the ninja one.
EnjoyPBT is fucking gorgeous but the problem is that white keyboards look like shit unless you go macfag tier with your set up and it seems like most of their sets are white. My case, monitors, mice, amp, headphones, modem, router, every fucking thing is black and I just have this random white board.
Thats why I want to get a new one.

>>62239391
>>62239404

>>62239456
Possibly message the person running
http://www.mechsupply.co.uk/product/maxkey-sa-double-shot-keycaps this groupbuy to find out about the AL T and FII issues to find out if they have been fixed as the other known issues have been and depending on their answer future sets should be fine to purchase but if you go into their backlog you will get keycaps with fucked legends

>>62239445
SA is horrendous to actually type on the most outlandish I'll go is DSA

>>62239524

>>62239517
Is it really? I was going to buy some before >>62239496 based anon saved me $100. What's so bad about it? It looks good. Is DSA bad too?
>>62239496
I don't even know why I asked. Fuck it. I'll just get some non-sa/dsa pbt set.

>>62239536
How do I go about doing that?

>>62239550
It might be because I don't have big hands but I found myself getting more fatigued hands when typing on SA, DSA is nice because I could switch the caps between rows without it feeling and looking funny which meant I could try out colemak/dvorak and have the caps match but I didn't let myself get used to the height difference and found myself typing harder to compensate for the difference in height

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.

yeah, get the ducky. trust me your fingers don't care as much as you think they do.

I've used das professional s with blues for 5 years that I paid like $110 for. Today I got that $20 aukey one from Amazon. They feel pretty much the same. Not sure I'll ever buy a mech keyboard for over $50 again.

>>62244800
can you give me the link to the aukey?

>>62244714
The other option is a WASD V2 with MOD-M switches, but it's nearly double the price whether or not I get my own keycaps or use their processed ABS keycaps.

That looks like a fucking nightmare to type on, excuse me while I go vomit

>>62245328
That was a bit of a concern for me, too, first impression was a weird since those are my first linear switches. Got used to them within a minute tho, didn't change a thing regarding typing. Like anon said, your fingers don't care that much.

pls respond
Razer doesn't use Kailh switches anymore.
The pastebin guides are old.

>>62245614
Exactly
I got complains that the keyboard is too loud since I have the habit of smashing the absolute fuck out of them when playing intense games so I chose the mx silent blacks to reduce that noise. Threw in some kailh golds to try them out, they feel like the gateron blues but more solid.

>>62245628
Thank you!

>>62242169
Why?? There was some other Reuters trade board keyboard keycaps for the same price on geekhack? Aren't they just plastic why so expensive?

>>62245099
I would consider that for some keys, but I think I'd want the majority of them to be the snowflake switch already.

Embarrassingly, Kailh White (blue) low profile switches are more tactile than MX Brown and feel much crispier. It's clicky, however, and those clicks are rather high-pitched. Somewhat like clicking a pen.

My Ducky One with Mx Cherry Clears, wish you guys had told me about how perfect clears are sooner...

how slow is massdrop delivering to EU? the tada68 with memelios is kinda tempting

Question; has anyone else had experience with Corsair RMA support? I've had an RMA received on the 22nd of August and that was the last time they contacted me about it also, saying that they no longer actively support my model and will ship me a replacement keyboard because of that.

...Nothing. No messages after that, no update on their tracker to go from processing to shipped, no "sorry we missed you" notes through my door...
Anyone else experienced this kind of shitty service?
And yes, I did contact them to agree that it would be an acceptable exchange and asked them to send it to me -- and then a week later politely asked if there was any status update or information on why/when I would get my new keyboard -- nothing.
Been a week since that even.

These are a bit smoother than cherry, but they feel a lot less stable. Maybe the new caps will help that.

I don't find anything wrong with browns. Clears definitely feel too heavy.

I'm about to buy a topre keyboard how much of a mistake am I making?

What's the smallest mech with a 10 key I can use in my office? We're forced to use laptops with the cheapest keys and I can't get used to it for speed typing.

Right now I use cherry mx blues but i'd be fine with clones but of the quieter variety (Brown?)

I'd like something I can toss in my laptop bag but not too expensive so if it breaks or gets stolen I can just replace it.

How is the Tada68 with MX brown switches for babbies first mechanical keyboard?

>>62251933
If you're buying one without typing on it IRL first, you're making a mistake.
Otherwise, eh, this mech board thing is subjective as fuck, both switch-wise and layout-wise and keycap-wise,

>>62251933
Make sure you tried everything before. I was very hyped for topre until I actually tried it and turns out I prefer linear.

Also you can buy topre and/or some clone like plum, and return it after a week or something

>>62251997
The TADA68 is one of the few boards both /mkg/ and r/mk can agree to be great-tier.
Get Gateron Brown though. It's the only acceptable Brown.

>>62251929
Pic related keycaps aren't SA, they're a new profile called MT3. SA is popular because it looks pretty and retro, so it's great for taking pictures of it and getting upboats, but it's way too high profile and very uncomfortable to use. And now because SP are a bunch of retards that won't expand, SA keycaps get shipped to you a year after you've actually bought them, if you're lucky enough not to run into delays, which is what usually happens.

>>62251997
Magicforce is a bit cheaper

>>62251929
It looks retro, which is an aesthetic.
A lot of SA sets are amde by SP, which actually used nice thicc good-finger-feeling ABS.
It's a thing.

>>62252055
Which will then cost you extra to get an acceptable-looking keycap set.
If you actually think the MF's keycaps look decent, you have no taste.

>>62252042
I wish there was more edgier profiles like DCS, SA and DSA are too roundy for me

>>62252092

I'm of the opinion that starting out you should get a tactile board if it's your first mechanical. Linears are more niche and not as good to type on.

>>62251102
No, because tactile Cherry MX and its clones are basically modified linear switches.

I'm too retarded to do that kind of stuff

Any switch lighter than MX Clear or Green is linear

Is it really true that topre boards make little queefing sounds when you press they keys? I guess from air escaping out from under the mat.
I want to get a topre board but not if they constantly make
>pft
>pft
sounds when you type on them.

>>62255369
No, never even heard of that. Topre is incredibly quiet with kbdfans silence rings.

>>62255369
It's more of a "thock" sound. Never heard of it queefing.

>>62255495
don't the silencing rings keep the domes in a partially pressed state runing the domes (faster) and removing some tactility?

>>62255369
This is known on type-s boards but not on stock topre boards

>>62255269
Well this is 4chan, so that isn't surprising.

>>62254848
You should play Neverhood on it

>>62255516
not with kbdfans' ones, they're only .2mm thick.

>>62255837
Oh you mean the 25 dollar ones? I might look into getting them since I still need to buy a pbt spacebar

where do i get a box to ship my keyboard in

>>62255940
from the post office you dumb FUCK

>>62255989
idk man ive never shipped anything before

>>62255537
Is there a video somewhere where I can listen to the topre queef? Is it noticeable on the type S boards because they are otherwise quieter or does it have to do with the lube?

>>62254991
The thing that comes closest to that keyboard is the Leopold FC980M, other than that you'll have to find, which isn't easy, buy, which is stupidly expensive, and build, which requires skill and time, your own 96 keys keyboard.

I was in your same situation: you either get that Cooler Master, or you forget about that form factor.
