What profile do youll like to type on? I feel most accurate on SA caps but my WPM is the same across everything I've used which is oem, cherry, dsa, sa, and whatever model m is.

Sculpted profile is my favorite

After more than a week of usage:
>setup is good for gaming
>good for typing, too, except my pinky is sometimes too weak to activate the apostrophe-switch
>kinda like the silent switches better than the clicky gaterons
where do I order more switches? the "mehkee"-shop I ordered the last time looks like it's closing, they barely have anything in stock anymore. Thinking of reds or clears.

Yes, but not as slick as abs.

Does anyone here know of a full size keyboard with nordic ISO layout in grey or with a metal case? Something like

Just because its PBT, it doesn't mean that its good. The keycaps are so thin that warping problems are common. Not to mention that they shine after a couple years. Even GMK ABS is better then tai lmao

It's subjective. It'll affect the sound, but it's not like you're putting your caps in a food processor or something.

>>62358805
i live with people. are mx blues with o-rings manageable or is there an alternative in the same class of switches

>>62371184
>>62371242
It does a whole lot more then sound. PBT is a brittle plastic and it easily warps. To prevent this you make them thicker so you don't have those problems. Its okay tho I get it that you guys are poor and its totally fine. But please stop talking about things your wallets don't understand, or if you want to at least google them first.

>brittle
>easily warps
These two physical properties are exclusive of one another, anon. Something can't be brittle and malleable.

Further, key caps are not being used to press bearings onto gear shafts, they are being tapped softly by soft fingers. They are not subject to any stress whatsoever. It is physically impossible for your squishy sausages to damage PBT plastic, it's hundreds of times harder than your flesh.

>please stop talking about things your wallets don't understand, or if you want to at least google them first
Please take your own advice.

>>62371495
But it is both. If you just used google you'd find out. Seriously why is it so hard to use google? I don't have a problem with poor people, but what really grinds my gears is people who can't take two seconds of their time and just use google.

Browns or Blacks for gayming?

I need a new mech keyboard that works on OS X because the project that updates the kext for my cheap Chinese one died so it doesn't work.

Figured this is also a good excused to practice soldering

What's some good DIY kits for sub-$100?

>>62374029

Browns will be faster than the blacks, but maybe blacks if you don't want accidental presses

>>62374029
Either is fine, just make sure you get gateron and not cherry.

>>62374091
What's the difference?

>>62371433
>mx blue
it lists the actuation as 60g. i have a cheaprubberdome. is that significantly higher?

only switches i've tested in store are reds, blues, browns and razer's switches

>>62374122
Most rubber domes are around 50-60g. Apple keyboards for example are 65g.

>>62374116
Gateron's much smoother, cherry browns feel like shit.

Is blue fine for a casual shit gamer like me who mostly just holds the keys down anyway? Or maybe should I get whites instead?

keyboards is ded meme

>>62383970
Huge bezels, the bigger the better. If you can make a keyboard with a compact layout but a footprint larger than standard layouts, you're off to a good start.

>>62382496
Could you explain what chattering is? I don't think I understand the effect

>>62386167
Basically is the switch malfunctioning, it can cause it to register more then one press on a key or not register the press, like, instead of getting "d" when pressing d once, you get "ddd" or it doesn't come out so you have to press again.

>>62381532

No, an adapter won't work. Old AT and PS/2 keyboards generally don't have the circuitry required for dual-mode PS/2 USB switching.

The old PS/2 model Ms need more voltage than a USB port can ordinarily supply, so an active adapter is necessary, and those cost a mint.
