onyx summit
#

It not that hard

echo sandal
#

nvm im just gonna get fully assembled

onyx summit
#

Just get some switches

glossy sandal
#

I don’t see how not getting it fully assembled would change whether or not you can pull up bios with it

#

but uh

echo sandal
#

@glossy sandal

#

@onyx summit

glossy sandal
#

That’s preference

#

Would you like me to explain the difference?

echo sandal
#

im watching a video

onyx summit
#

Ok I can up my budget to 50 bucks

glossy sandal
#

from what

onyx summit
#

30

glossy sandal
#

chrome raft
#

For keycaps that’s fine

Has anyone in Canada tried & successfully received a Keychron 10% coupon from their website? This is all I get when I try to get it

There aren’t any actions to complete 🥲

onyx summit
deep charm
#

Those are so pretty!

glossy sandal

oh i though that was for the entire board

#

i don't really like the colors but they'll work

chrome raft
#

cheesecake

glossy sandal
#

im blocking youi

onyx summit
#

Well the 50 dollar ones are too expensive after shipping WHICH IS 25 BUCKS

#

I pay 50 bucks for some keycaps

#

Now I have to pay 50 percent for shipping

forest pebble
#

Yup that's how it is

#

For me it's 40usd to ship keyboard from keychron

#

The trick is they include tax so it ok

#

Granted I'll ever buy again from them 😁

Fuck it ill just get these Razer Doubleshot PBT Keycap Upgrade Set for Mechanical & Optical Keyboards: Compatible with Standard 104/105 US and UK layouts - Mercury White https://a.co/d/fTzZREU

glossy sandal
#

sin

onyx summit
#

What else

#

And it can't be cherry profile

glossy sandal
#

i forgor

onyx summit
#

Exactly

#

Cannon keys

#

Cherry

#

Its all cherry

onyx summit
chrome raft
#

Told you

#

It’s really not that bad for a budget keycap dude

#

Also razer QC can be trusted

#

If you want to get father in the hobby I’d recommend saving a bit for a premium build

#

We talking like 500usd

amber tartan
#

nah you will never get father

amber tartan
#

maybe

boreal rivet
#

Sure it’s overrated but it’s not bad either

chrome raft
#

He has north facing

#

Also cherry is not overrated it’s the greatest profile ever, gifted to us by God through Moses

boreal rivet
#

Oh get mt3 or something then

chrome raft
#

His splitting of the sea was a metaphor for my heart splitting when I don’t see cherry profile keycaps on sale

boreal rivet
#

Or Akko’s SA

#

Whatever dude, cherry chuds be like 💀

unkempt dome
#

cherry profile is probably the profile I like the least along with oem ...

sweet thunder
#

Cherry sux

#

Spherical gigachad

chrome raft
#

Demonic possession ^

#

Too ill to accept the gift of God which is Cherry Profile

hearty token
#

Could someone recommend me a good kb to buy for about a 100$

chrome raft
#

Is that your complete budget?

#

Including keycaps and switches?

#

Nothing beats a fully assembled v3 from keychron on a budget

hearty token
#

Its out of stock rip

#

should I get the v4? @chrome raft

chrome raft
#

If you want 60% sure

#

But check for vendors, the main website isn’t the best way to buy

hearty token
#

Where could I find vendors

chrome raft
#

If you’re in the US it has free shipping over 100

#

The barebones is 50$

hearty token
#

Does it ship everywhere

chrome raft
#

Get some switches and keycaps for 50$ and you got your keeb

#

Where are you

hearty token
#

Israel

chrome raft
#

Hm

#

You could try

hearty token
#

Which switches make the fun click noise

#

The one thats not too loud

chrome raft
#

Tactiles?

#

Idk clicky switches are loud

#

You’ll have to link a sound test

hearty token
#

Wdym

chrome raft
#

Anyways try and find a keychron V series board either fully assembled or for barebones you’ll need switches and keycaps

hearty token
#

So should I get the board you sent me and switches and key caps

#

Is that all

chrome raft
#

Barebones need only switches and keycaps yeah

#

But if you want 60% get v4

#

If you want TKL it’s v3

#

Anyways you’ll want to get it from a single supplier

hearty token
#

Whats the difference

#

the size

chrome raft
#

Yeah

hearty token
#

Ill get a tkl ig

chrome raft
#

Whatever you prefer

#

Look into switches since you’re new

#

There’s linear and tactile

hearty token
#

Ill get tactile ones

#

I think thats what I have in my current oard

#

borad

#

board

#

how many keycaps do I need to get

chrome raft
#

Keycaps come In kits

#

You need 90ish switches for a TKL tho

hearty token
#

and switches?

#

90 too

chrome raft
#

Yeah get 90 switches

#

But keycaps aren’t usually single unity

#

They come in full kits

#

Like this

hearty token
#

So should Iget a kit

chrome raft
#

You don’t really have a choice lol

#

If you get a barebones you’ll need switches + barebones + keycaps

#

Also look into tactile switches and don’t just get Mx browns lol

hearty token
#

How do I find keycaps for a tkl

chrome raft
#

A lot of people consider the boba u4t switches to be the gold standard of tactile

#

What website are you shopping on

hearty token
#

The one u sent

#

Btw I found the GoPolar Azure Dragon V2 Tactile Switches are these good

chrome raft
#

Usually keycaps are sold like this

hearty token
#

Which site should I buy em from

chrome raft
#

Just get a set that has this part

hearty token
#

Cuz I wanna stay in my budget so around 100

chrome raft
#

The same site where you get the barebones and the switches you like

#

Don’t go shopping on multiple websites for different parts

hearty token
#

ok

chrome raft
#

Since you only need 3 parts it should be easy to stay on the same website

#

Find a supplier you like and get either a fully assembled keyboard from them or a barebones, some switches and keycaps

#

Make sure they can ship it to you

#

Pick one from here

#

Make sure they have keychron V series tho or you’ll need to get it from somewhere else and then it’s not worth it to pay shipping twice

hearty token
#

Ok

chrome raft
#

ask questions here or check Reddit if you have any major questions

#

imma read

hearty token
#

Okay ty

chrome raft
#

NOOOOO

#

stay away from drop

lost gyro
#

is razer renata keyboard good?

hearty token
chrome raft
#

Drop keyboards are horrible

hearty token
#

o

chrome raft
#

you’re better off with a Logitech g pro keyboard

#

Anyways before making your decision talk to other dudes in this server

#

@glossy sandal @amber tartan

#

I recommend a v3 with cherry blacks and a WOB cherry profile keycap set

#

But that’s me

hearty token
#

Ill try to find it

#

ty

#

Cherry mx?

chrome raft
#

Cherry Mx hyperglide blacks

hearty token
chrome raft
#

Yeah those in red are nice too for beginners

#

You could try and get everything from keychrons website

hearty token
#

Should I get the reds or the rgb speed silver

#

I think Ill just get the reds

chrome raft
#

Those are linears tho

#

Like I said don’t rush and take your time

#

For tactiles I recommend boba u4t

#

Linears I recommend milky yellows or cherry blacks

hearty token
#

Where could I find the boba ones

chrome raft
#

Any keyboard supplier really

#

Keebsforall, divinkey, ash keebs etc etc

#

Before finalizing your decisions ask for second opinions on Reddit or here

#

I trust gas and night which I tagged

#

Imma go read now pls don’t mention me I have adhd

hearty token
#

Ok

#

Ty

amber tartan
#

what do you need

glossy sandal
chrome raft
#

Imagine sleeping

#

Absolute cringe

hearty token
#

I think Imma just get the 60% one

#

Wait should I get the k8 pro @chrome raft ?

chrome raft
#

If you want, the K series is wireless no?

hearty token
#

It says wireless or wired

chrome raft
#

Yeah

hearty token
#

Idk if it comes with a cable tho

#

I need a wired 1

chrome raft
#

It should

#

If you can find one cheaper than a v3 sure

#

They’re fine keyboards especially the pro variants

hearty token
#

It costs more than the v3 but its in stock

#

nvm I cant get a wireless one from there

#

Their cables cant fit my case

#

Any recommendations on wired kbs under 110$

chrome raft
#

What mouse do you use?

#

Tbh with these Black Friday sales I’d seriously recommend just getting something from Logitech on your variant of Amazon

hearty token
#

glorious model o i thin

chrome raft
#

Free shipping, pre built, good easy software, etc etc

#

Sales are for 40% off where I am

hearty token
#

should Iget 1 from Amazon then

chrome raft
#

This is an incredible deal honestly

#

24% off, legit keyboard with good switches and good looks

#

It’s not gonna win any smoothness competitions but if you’re on a budget and don’t wanna pay one fifth of it to shipping them if you can get free Amazon shipping then it’s worth it

hearty token
#

Ill check it out

#

ty

chrome raft
#

Just think it over before the final decision

#

The custom keyboard hobby is difficult and expensive since it’s so niche rn

hearty token
#

Ok

chrome raft
#

One fifth of the price of everything goes to useless shipping

#

You can get great deals on Logitech or razer or even glorious but I’ve never seen a group buy on sale

#

They’re always so expensive

hearty token
#

this is the one right

chrome raft
#

There are other options too

#

But yeah

#

I think Israel has Amazon

#

Must have prime shipping too

hearty token
#

Ye

#

I dont have prime

#

But i think its free today

chrome raft
#

It’ll be free over 35$

#

At least it’s here

hearty token
#

I tried to order my pc parts from amazon but they wanted like 400 bucks for shipping

chrome raft
#

-_-

hearty token
#

It says its renewed tho

#

Should I pay more for a new one

chrome raft
#

your choice

hearty token
#

Im gonna look for a different one since a new one costs double the price

#

Got any other brands u recommend

#

I dont know if the v4 comes with a wire

#

It doesnt say on their site

#

nvm

chrome raft
#

I like keychron and Logitech

hearty token
#

I wanna buy the v4 but idk what to do about the cable

#

I need a 3.0 one

chrome raft
#

It comes with a cable don’t worry

hearty token
#

But the cable doesnt fit

chrome raft
#

?

#

USB is reverse compatible

hearty token
#

I need a 3.0 one

chrome raft
#

You mean usb C?

#

Like the small oval one

hearty token
#

it comes with a type c

chrome raft
#

On both sides?

hearty token
#

Yes

#

I dont need a type c on both sides

chrome raft
#

Do you have a usb type a on your computer

#

Like this one

hearty token
#

Ye i think

#

Its like this

chrome raft
#

Then you’ll be fine

hearty token
chrome raft
#

Yeah you’ll be fine

hearty token
#

alr

#

Ill order the 60% then

chrome raft
#

Keychron uses usb c on the keychron side

#

The usb that attaches to your computer is the a that you have

#

It’ll work

#

Make sure to not pay too much for shipping

hearty token
#

Okay

chrome raft
#

Get everything in one go

hearty token
#

Im gonna order it from keychron

chrome raft
#

If you get it pre assembled then ok but if you don’t, don’t forget to get switches and keycaps too

#

Both are should be available on keychron

#

Look up info on the switches

hearty token
#

I chose the blue ones

chrome raft
#

Clicky?

hearty token
#

Keychron k pro blue

chrome raft
#

If that’s what you like I guess but you better have done your research

#

Blues are not liked by many

glossy sandal
#

Hi

chrome raft

Make sure you like them by looking up clicky vs tactile

It’s 9 here

I told you I don’t sleep

hearty token

they sound pretty good

glossy sandal
#

Don’t get peer pressured into not picking the switch you want thumbs_up

#

Go for blues if you like em

chrome raft
#

that only applies to switches

#

Not crimes against Christendom

#

blues are such crimes

glossy sandal
#

I ate a Bible once

hearty token
#

browns sound good too

glossy sandal

Get those if you like em

Nvm 45 dollars for shipping

What is a good mechenical keyboard for about 50euro rn in the netherlands? red/brown switches or something quiet

I'm tempted to get iQunix F96: Joker Wireless RGB - Cherry Brown, on big sale here
Down from 1499sek ($150) to 799sek ($75-ish)

#

Personally, I hated brown switches. I don't like red switches either, but they were better than browns. I had the cherry MX browns and they just felt so mushy and my typing accuracy went down. Although I don't really like red switches either. (MX cherry)

Bro what... Keychron wants $20 shipping for a keycap set...

#

I want to replace my g915 switches with Navy Choc switches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T5kjkf6y5o&ab_channel=Shiftypoo269

Kailh Navy Blue Choc switches make their clicking sound with these little click bars. With the clear top switch housing you can see those things going.

These are installed on a Pancake keyboard I bought from MKUltra

I guess they gotta make up for their sale prices...

That shipping price is absurd for keycaps

Anyone have a recommendation for other companies that have keycap sets for a Keychron K2

Does microcenter have lube for switches even

pastel drift

maybe

Just G-Lube as far as I’m concerned

And I wouldn’t recommend that

forest pebble
#

because f ing logitech bothered to modify the stem holes

pine flower
#

It annoys me. I tried dremeling some stems

forest pebble
#

for a keycaps standard that almost no one use

pine flower
#

That did not go....welll

#

It is the only downside to this board

forest pebble
#

its like try harding too hard from logitech

pine flower
#

But if you replace the switch, then that is no more

forest pebble
#

There arent full size or tkl compatible kailh choc v1 sets to my knowledge

#

or you have blanks

#

maybe there is a cheap ass set from kailh

pine flower
#

they aren't. The switch itself is propietary but the stems into the pcb are the same as the standard ones

forest pebble
#

yes, its kailh choc socket

pine flower
#

mhmm

forest pebble
#

or spec

#

but not the same stem holes

#

because they bothered to make it incompatible

I found out the hard way lol

forest pebble
#

its stupid, why going to that extent to do another mold

pine flower
#

that's why I want to replace my switches entirely in the first place. I want transluent edge stems

glossy sandal
forest pebble
#

its not like there are compatible sets out there to begin with

pine flower
#

the rgb is so ugly and muted

pine flower
forest pebble
#

i meant for kailh choc v1

pine flower
#

I think the modification were actually good. The stems on the normal choc switch keycaps seems a bit wobbly. Like the little hook end might have a value to it, but otherwise I hate they did this to my keyboard. Having no option to replace these shitty ABS plastic keys makes me want to toss this keyboard out the window

forest pebble
#

honestly its not a good mechanical switch to begin with

pine flower
#

I am a huge fan of the low profile.

forest pebble
#

shame because the board itself has good battery life

#

imo now i grew out of that low profile thing

pine flower
#

this is nearly the perfect keyboard other than the lack of keycaps due to propeietary stem in the caps

forest pebble
#

i mean board doesnt sound good 😄

pine flower
#

this keyboard is completely level. Instead of the Z, A, Q lines being different heights

#

I hate that and most keyboards seem to do that now adays. Z obviously the lowest and Q row being the highest. That's a 100% deal breaker

forest pebble
#

i mean its how its kinda supposed to be on cherry profile

#

maybe you need those uniform profile keycaps

pine flower
#

I just need everything being the same height

forest pebble
#

Well depends on the angle of the keyboard

pine flower
#

I do not want to have to lift my finger and with long nails, it's even more dramatic

forest pebble
#

but i see

#

yeah would make sense with long nails

pine flower
#

I really wanna try a layout where the rows are uniform instead of offset, but that would probably be weird

#

It's also about actions per minute. I feel like it's alot lower when I have to raise my finger even a few mm more every time. Like I want my fingers to kind of like slide on the next row of keys

glossy sandal
#

You mean ortholinear?

forest pebble
#

nah low profile, but ortho wouldd be the next step forward

glossy sandal
#

people love ortho

#

I don’t, it’s so overwhelming

forest pebble
#

honestly its harder to adapt but its a good concept

glossy sandal
#

But it’s cool

pine flower
forest pebble
#

one advice would be to skip preonic and go plank

glossy sandal
#

why are you looking on Amazon wahh

#

skip Amazon for 98% of keeb stuff

forest pebble
#

the higher row is harder to reach

pine flower
#

I just used it since google wasn't up

forest pebble
#

having the 4x12 row force you into using more efficiently the layers

pine flower
glossy sandal
#

Preonic is cool

forest pebble
#

but then you find the weakness of the plank layout

pine flower
#

QMK is fun to play with

forest pebble
#

its too close from left to right hand

glossy sandal
#

then youve got stuff like big dill and big dill extended

pine flower
#

but lack of wireless is a deal breaker

forest pebble
#

so split is the step after

forest pebble
pine flower
#

Oh don't worry. I do not need another freaking keyboard x)

#

I have 2 logitech wave keyboards. 2-3 mechnical cosair keyboards, and the g915

#

I really wish the logitech wave had a mechincal keyboard. It is still my favorite keyboard of all time

forest pebble
#

i have around 28 keyboards Dead

pine flower
#

This keyboard has been out for probably 15 years now

glossy sandal
#

I have about 7 if we’re counting consumer boards

forest pebble
#

not disclosing the one i bought already and are coming lol

pine flower
#

I want a white TKL 915 but they don't have blues avaliable at all for the white version

glossy sandal
#

Get a Q3 thumbs_up

pine flower
#

so then I'd have to spend another 75-100$ on replacing switches

forest pebble
#

yewah id advise either getting the blue or red

pine flower
#

plus an ass of time

forest pebble
#

because kailh choc tactiles are ass

pine flower
#

I dislike reds and browns and speed reds

#

browns the most though by far

forest pebble
#

the best linear kailhs are the lightest ones

glossy sandal
#

I like browns

forest pebble
#

sub 30g

forest pebble
glossy sandal
#

Like rgb mx garbage?

pine flower
#

I wish the force on these were heaver. I have alot of accidental presses with my nails brushing them. I think these are 60cm

forest pebble
#

no like i think membranes are better

pine flower
#

not cm. Whatever the unit is

glossy sandal
#

g

pine flower
#

oh it's cN

glossy sandal
#

what

forest pebble
#

yeah

pine flower
forest pebble
#

1gf = 1cN

glossy sandal
#

Oh

#

Just Logitech uses that?

forest pebble
#

i'm sure i saw some specs sheet using that unit

glossy sandal
#

odd

#

I’ve mostly seen grams

forest pebble
#

but you mostly see around people using g

pine flower
#

I've never seen gf on a spec sheet for switches

forest pebble
#

which would be gf to be correct

#

gram force

#

and direct conversion is centinewtons

#

1:1

pine flower
#

1 cn = 1.02 gf

forest pebble
#

yeah approximatively close

pine flower
#

I only know that because I googled it just now since I never heard of gf

#

I didn't know that before

#

good to know if I ever see it pop up somewhere!

forest pebble
pine flower
#

actually, there is a keychrome with a nob on it, but I still like a full set of dedicated media keys

forest pebble
#

that'd be interesting if you had actual keycaps choice lol

glossy sandal
#

Layer hater fistshake

forest pebble
#

on those with arrows i use fn+up and fn + down

pine flower
glossy sandal
#

twas joke

forest pebble
#

and on arrow less keebs i have fn + ' and fn + /

glossy sandal
#

I would show you my media key layers

pine flower
# glossy sandal twas joke

but you do make a good point. I could imagine just having a bunch of layers instead of a series of key combos

forest pebble
#

layer zero

glossy sandal
#

Layers are awesome

pine flower
#

I use a ton of global hotkeys generally and I'm constantly running out of space

forest pebble
#

layer one

#

wait this one isnt a good example

pine flower
#

I got salty with QMK trying to create a way to have 3 knobs. One to control discord/voip programs, one for general purpose, and one for chrome/music

#

Turns out that wasn't as easy as I hoped for =.=

#

I assembled a little macropad so I could play with QMK

forest pebble
#

very good

twilit flare
#

Didn't find what I wanted just gonna buy all the stuff online

#

Keychron is reliable to just buy straight from their site right

normal fiber
#

If I should buy keychron products from other sites

forest pebble
#

depending from where you are

#

here in EU we have some proxies

twilit flare
pine flower
#

I do really like the custom options with Glorious keyboards

#

the problem is the keyboard I built ended up being like 300-400$

#

and it was still wire only

forest pebble
#

wire is the way

twilit flare
forest pebble
#

the more you go in price, the less you see wireless

forest pebble
#

I think my only wireless custom keeb build is my ikki68

#

so a budget one

pine flower
#

I just like the option to be wireless so long as it doesn't effect performance too much.

forest pebble
#

one bad thing about the g915 series is the micro usb port

#

its not mini usb

pine flower
#

That is the 2nd complaint

forest pebble
#

nor usb c

#

(usb c being the best choice)

pine flower
#

You nailed the 2 things I hate about that keyboard

forest pebble
#

i mean i have one

#

so i know 😄

#

also the abs blend is not great

pine flower
#

doesn't mean we value the same positive or negatives!!!

#

It's terrible and a grease magnetic and looks awful

forest pebble
pine flower
#

I want my double shot pbt with transluent edges sooo damn much

twilit flare

I didn't realize how small 60% was lmao

forest pebble
#

great software if you skip the qmk level of custoimization

pine flower
#

Those hyperX keycaps I used spoiled the fuck out of me. My keyboard use to be so pretty with those

forest pebble
#

great battery life especially on the tkl model

pine flower
#

battery life is insane.

#

I use it 8-20 hours a day every single day and I almost never charge it

normal fiber
glossy sandal
#

Why not get a qk75

pine flower
#

I do have RGB light turn off after 1 min or no usage. if it was on 24/7 the battery life drains every few days (obviously)

twilit flare

#

It’s up for preorder rn

twilit flare

I found a k6 on sale though

#

Wired and wireless

forest pebble
#

qk75 or zoom tkl good entry level customs

glossy sandal
#

Qk is wireless

forest pebble
#

it has wireless option yes

glossy sandal

or it has the option for wireless connectivity

Can't seem to find any of the parts I'm looking for all in one place with a proper discount

Pretty sure that’s the one

forest pebble
glossy sandal

I don’t follow it because I don’t care about gmmk

forest pebble
#

and the other set too

glossy sandal
#

or most keeb YouTubers for that matter

forest pebble
#

heavily inspired without mentionning it

pine flower
#

I was just looking for IP issues because IP law is pretty fun. I don't think this would fall under it

#

Allegedly, they were not heavily inspired by it, but that is what they were going to say anyways

forest pebble
#

i mean, keycap designer dont deposit ip

#

they dont have enough cash to do so

pine flower
#

I've seen alot of gradient colors in the last few years becoming pretty hot for keycaps

forest pebble
#

they arent companies

#

but to me so far worst thing was the holy panda trademark they tried to deposit

twilit flare
#

Is $18 for gateron yellows good

forest pebble
#

Glorious will try if they can to maximize profit regardless of the community, that's how they show it at least

twilit flare
#

I don't want them to be cheap garbage

forest pebble
#

for normal consumer it doesnt matter though

forest pebble
twilit flare
#

I'll have to order them to be here next week since Amazon wants to be stinky

pine flower
#

I get what you are saying, but you don't have to be a company to afford IP protection on your product. Atleast in the US. idk what it's like elsewhere

pine flower
forest pebble
#

because its a name of a frankenswitch that was popular in the community

#

later sold on drop

pine flower
#

There is nothing wrong with that in the Us atleast. You can have a bunch of trademarks with the same names, so long as their industries are completely seperate and it's actually not an issue

forest pebble
#

so Glorious plan was to trademark it and sell their own switch

#

using the name

pine flower
#

Most articles you'll read about trademark this word or that word, for the US, is just kind of legal BS

forest pebble
#

so they did what they should have been since the beginning

#

glorious panda

#

ok

#

holy panda was already quite popular and used as a name for another switch

#

its not legally reprehensible i think

#

but its still scummy move

#

also when via came* to the gmmk pro kekDoge

pine flower
#

Most laypeople think everything to do with trademarks end up scummy x). Although sometimmes it totally is

#

I have seen some crazy stuff x(

#

Getting a trademark is typically a CYA function. It's more costly to get a FU letter from someone wanting to take you to court over a potentially frivilous claim

forest pebble
#

in a general sense i'd avoid the gmmk pro for double key stroke registering issue ? or is it called ghosting ? i dont remember

pine flower
#

both are really bad O.O

forest pebble
#

maybe they fixed on the new models

pine flower
#

I would have a conniption fit.

forest pebble
#

but i haven't look at them since its not what i look for

forest pebble
pine flower
#

I did read about that. I think it was allegedly fixed in the pro version. The hardware is slightly different. Only the pro support QMK

pine flower
forest pebble
#

yeah i googled it

pine flower
#

I'd be extremely pissed off and raging

forest pebble
#

i know now lol

pine flower
#

That verbage might be a US southern thing

forest pebble
#

English is not my native language 😄

pine flower
#

ooo what is your native language?

forest pebble
#

French

pine flower
#

ooo! That's really cool 🙂

#

I wouldn't have known if you didn't tell me

forest pebble
forest pebble
pine flower
misty hull
forest pebble
#

i see, the one who told me about his issues also had a broken hotswap socket on a key, but its a separate matter in my opinion

pine flower
#

I think the g915 that is 150$ is the TKL version anyways, not the full sized.

forest pebble
#

tkl good version though 😄

pine flower
#

Other than lack of clicky/blue switches. And no g keys

#

but I want a white TLK one really bad

forest pebble
#

If the fullsize has a great battery life, it's better on the tkl

misty hull
#

I got the white g815 all th3 keys

#

Need the numpad tbh

#

Useful as hell

forest pebble
#

Here they have gl clicky 915 TKL 😁

#

But black

pine flower
#

The difference should probably just be the power consumption of the additional rgb , presuming it has the same battery

forest pebble
#

From my experience the black ones don't age well

pine flower
#

I already have that one full sized

#

It's not really black either now that i think of it

#

It's like grey

forest pebble
#

Yeah some kind ofdark grey

pine flower
#

but not grey

forest pebble
#

But black keycaps

#

Almost gun metal yeah

pine flower
#

Gun metal! Yeah

#

That's def what it is or looks like.

pine flower
forest pebble
#

It's not a great abs blend indeed

pine flower
#

The new logitech keyboard (the one with the cloud mousepad) comes with PBT keys

forest pebble
#

Compared to domikey or gmk sets i saw

pine flower
#

It's also cheaper. I was so salty

forest pebble
#

Or even MT3 wob

#

That one has a nice blend of abs

pine flower
#

The only thing I like about the GMMK keyboard is I wanted a cotton candy type of keyboard.

forest pebble
#

Cotton candy, in what regard ?

#

Like esthetically?

pine flower
#

Light either a sky or aqua blue and hot pink

#

mhmmm

forest pebble
#

If you are in for a gmmk pro, look at the QK75 😁

#

Wireless option since you were into that

#

It is maybe pricy for someone not in the hobby, but a quite accessible option as a custom keyboard

pine flower
#

180$?

#

Still cheaper than my keyboard lol

#

oh, there probably aren't switches included

glossy sandal
#

There is not

forest pebble
#

Without keycaps and switchzs

pine flower
glossy sandal
#

There’s a bundle you can buy with select kailh switches and qk keycaps

Bundle is 235

wonder if the pcb has rgb places to add diodes

But I guess you have to add shipping

Any good keyboard that is
60% (minimalist)
scissor switch (cause tactile and quiet? cause my laptop keyboard is more quieter than my brother's red cherry switch)
wireless
I don't care if it's not backlit
and purpose is pretty much gaming + typing notes
unless mechanical keyboard can also compete with the quietness and tactility

normal fiber

hmm ok

I don’t think mechanical and scissor switch are the same thing

thanks! After spending a year designing and building my setup, this was a cakewalk. It only took 2 days with all the staining and stuff. And the total cost was about 15-25$. But I had everything on hand to do it already

forest pebble
#

Well at least I'm not a fan of SA or mt3

#

Those keycaps profiles are too high (for my taste)

glossy sandal
#

🤝

forest pebble
#

It's funny but lately i start to buy more and more the same variation of components

#

MX blacks, cherry clip ins + C3 wire and XMI caps

But it's good to try different stuff

so no options for me then

forest pebble
#

At first when I switched from the g915tkl to custom keyboards, i used a wrist rest

#

Then i raised my chair height (well by having something else than that cheap wooden chair)

#

And now my desktop is high enough and the chair high enough and I'm comfortable with normal height keyboards

#

Though for custom keyboards i avoid anything over 7-8° of typing angle in general

pine flower
swift kayak
forest pebble
#

A lot of variable imo

pine flower
#

One issue with raising hands on alot of keyboards is the height of the rows

pine flower
#

I wish I could imagine the difference between 5 degrees verse 9 degrees

#

Trying to find a frame of reference

forest pebble
#

I'd say i don't have very big hands but I guess I do have long fingers

glossy sandal
forest pebble
#

I guess the f-row is the one where you'd notice the most the angle and then the numrow

pine flower
#

oh, you know the height difference might be in the stem itself

glossy sandal
#

Keycaps

pine flower
#

Like does it have a deeper,erm, hole or not

forest pebble
#

When we speak about typing angle its about the keyboard frame/case itself

#

Since Keycap profiles can change

pine flower
#

That went over my head X(

forest pebble
#

Btw oem keycaps you find on most consumer level gaming keyboards are a little higher than cherry profile keycaps

also the bed is above my head, if I rest my elbow (my hands is at the table's edge), it goes about 7cm below the desk

onyx summit
forest pebble
#

Hmm

pine flower
# onyx summit Ah what

What I was asking if the cherry mx compitable keycaps stems have different depths to them to create the height difference

#

I never consider the different in the depth in the keycap itself being responsible for the raising of each row

onyx summit
#

I read that completely out of context

normal fiber

are 90 switches enough for a 75?
