peripherals

[unkempt dome]

Read the manual

it will tell you all about the stock layers

and how to control rgb without software

[chrome raft]

Is that software free?

[unkempt dome]

I think so yes

I just don't like having software for stuff I don't need to

[chrome raft]

Oh okay, I just wanna be able to do it like on my laptop

[unkempt dome]

for that you'll need software

also you know that the stock keycaps are not shine through right ?

[chrome raft]

Like on the picture, right?

They have a pink font

[chrome raft]

But it's easy to take them off if I ever want different ones, right?

[unkempt dome]

yes it's quite easy

[chrome raft]

Awesome

[unkempt dome]

if you get another keycap set just be sure that it support 65% with the short right shift and the 3 small key between the spacebar and arrows

[chrome raft]

It comes with all black ones?

[chrome raft]

Oh okay, thanks!

[elder stone]

yep, you can swap them around to your liking

and that tool on the right can be used to pull the keycaps with

[unkempt dome]

yes

[elder stone]

brainfart

[chrome raft]

If I leave it plugged in all the time, will there be issues with the battery it has?

[unkempt dome]

no idea ... I'm pretty sur it's not that good for the battery

[chrome raft]

Is it a rechargeable one?

[unkempt dome]

yes

with usb c

[chrome raft]

Oh good. Then I don't mind

[unkempt dome]

you have a 2.4gHz dongle and the keyboard is bluetooth too

[chrome raft]

Is the bluetooth or 2400mhz bad for latency?

[unkempt dome]

bluetooth yes

[chrome raft]

I have a lot of 2400mhz congestion here, I dunno if it will be that good for the keyboard

[unkempt dome]

2.4 gHz no ... but be sure to put the dongle in a usb 2.0 port

[glossy sandal]

Shouldn’t be any issues, just keep it in wired mode

[royal patrol]

2.4ghz dongles don’t have any perceivable latency

[glossy sandal]

Though I’m pretty sure board is programmed to already do that

[chrome raft]

Oh okay, great

[royal patrol]

<1ms

[glossy sandal]

Michelle!!!

Hi

[chrome raft]

Oh I see, because on 2400mhz Wi-Fi it's always +3-5ms latency on top of the internet's latency.

[unkempt dome]

I don't notice any latency with it

also if you use it wireless and with rgb ... well the battery won't last that long

[glossy sandal]

I’ve used Bluetooth keyboards before

[chrome raft]

I am planning to plug it in all the time

[glossy sandal]

no cripplingly bad latency

[glossy sandal]

Yeah should be fine

[unkempt dome]

be sure to select the plugged in mode with fn + u

[glossy sandal]

Pretty sure it auto selects that mode when you plug it in

Like 90% of other wireless devices

[unkempt dome]

nah not if you're already in another mode

[glossy sandal]

Odd

The Akko I built did

[unkempt dome]

but if you freshly plug it in then yes

so most of the time when I charge it, it still continue to use the 2.4 even if it's plugged

[glossy sandal]

How do you know?

[unkempt dome]

and also you can switch to bluetooth like if you want to use it on the phone while plugged in

cause wired is not selected as a mode and it stops working when I unplug the dongle

then I have to select the wired mode for it to work

[glossy sandal]

wack

I wonder if there’s any difference between boRds

[unkempt dome]

yes probably ...

maybe it's because I never did any firmware update and never installed the software

[gloomy patrol]

Oh

[unkempt dome]

but I don't want it to auto select cause sometimes when it's plugged in I just switch it to bluetooth to use it on my phone

like to reply to a text message or something ... and then switch back to wired or 2.4 depending of what I need to do with it

[glossy sandal]

I think connecting a mech board to a phone is like the most overkill thing ever

[unkempt dome]

it's way nicer and faster to type on keyboard than on a phone

[royal patrol]

that’s abnormal

it should be <1ms

[latent blaze]

Prob cuz other devices are using the network on 2.4

[twilit flare]

Tae ha makes lubing look so difficult bruh

I might just give it a go by myself

[wind geyser]

Howdy
I currently have a 60% alu-cased keyboard that I tossed together via parts from qmmk. It has gat yellows and some no-name white side printed keycaps

I'm looking to buy or build a second keyboard because the 60% and linear fascination has more than worn off.
Any suggestions for moderately priced barebones tkl or 96%? ($100-$150 ish budget for barebones kit)

[glossy sandal]

Tiger80 lite is awesome for that price

[chrome raft]

does anyone know if there is a version of the rk61 that has more than one rgb colour RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK68 65% Hot-Swappable Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 60% 68 Keys Compact Bluetooth Gaming Keyboard with Stand-Alone Arrow/Control Keys, Clicky Blue Switch,White https://amzn.eu/d/eu2WsmT I can't find one but don't know if anyone else does know

[wind geyser]

I don't think that they have what you're talking about available on your country's Amazon

https://amzn.eu/d/btjXMPR

If you don't mind £20 more, this is a decent option

[crisp jetty]

Hello all
I know this is a bit of a strange question on an English YT channel.
But does anyone know a nice keycap set with ISO-CH?

What'd he do 😢

[boreal rivet]

Oh yeah a keyboard that sounds like snow 💯

[glossy sandal]

waiting patiently for a board that sounds like suede

[vagrant verge]

Oooooohohohohooo she has arrived

[boreal rivet]

Hoping for a keyboard that sounds like a GENELEC8361B to come out soon

[river wharf]

whats a good black hot swappable wireless 70-80% keyboard 200 usd budget

[glossy sandal]

@river wharf

[river wharf]

ye

wat

[glossy sandal]

By inch

You mean percentage right?

[river wharf]

ye

[glossy sandal]

Ah

Would you be fine with 75%?

[river wharf]

ye

[glossy sandal]

So for 80%/TKL, keychron K8 pro

Since wirelessness isn’t really on more premium boards that’s pretty much your only option

If you’re willing to wait and get a 75% though, keychron q1 pro

[river wharf]

is there a link to that?

[glossy sandal]

no, you can get an email when it releases though

that's why I said, if you're willing to wait.

[river wharf]

is there an estamated release time,and a link to where i can put my email?

[glossy sandal]

early jan

https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q1-pro-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

[river wharf]

ill wait fosho then

till then ill need a really cheap keyboard

[glossy sandal]

it is full metal

the keyboard it's the pro version of is all metal lmao

it's made of 6063 aluminum, the top and bottom case are/

[normal fiber]

ISnt the q series all metal?

[glossy sandal]

yes

[river wharf]

oh

[glossy sandal]

the v series are a series of tray mount plastic boards in a variety of layouts, the q series is a series of metal gasket boards in various layouts

[river wharf]

someone also said this is good https://keebsforall.com/collections/zoom-tkl/products/zoom-tkl-ee

[glossy sandal]

ah yeah that one is decent

[gloomy patrol]

[river wharf]

[gloomy patrol]

[normal fiber]

whats the differnce in mounts

[glossy sandal]

don't listen to astro btw

[normal fiber]

i have v1 right now

[gloomy patrol]

fuck you

[gloomy patrol]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=V-kRJpejaIw&feature=shares

[gloomy patrol]

q1 is gasket

it uses poron strips on the plate

to mount it to the case

v series is tray

[glossy sandal]

astro you wanna play roblox rn

[gloomy patrol]

zoom imo ig

[glossy sandal]

q series

oh out of all

[gloomy patrol]

wait what

q over zoom

tf

[glossy sandal]

yeah zoom, that's not a big step up though

meletrix a-stock has not blown me away tbh

[gloomy patrol]

i still have my finals

[river wharf]

are there any better ones for sub 200?

[gloomy patrol]

how it looks is uh you get to come in with the hook, thesis, and quotes and you write the rest on the fly

[river wharf]

im sorry what?

[gloomy patrol]

any requirements or is the only thing that i needs to be a keyboard

[glossy sandal]

he's talking to me about his essay lol

[gloomy patrol]

ignore that i got sidetracked

[glossy sandal]

none in next 3 months

maybe jris75

[river wharf]

so till then i need a sub 20usd keyboard to hold me off

[glossy sandal]

office board

[river wharf]

i do have a micro center near me 7m away

[glossy sandal]

logitech mk270 so goated

[river wharf]

thats the only good part of my life

[gloomy patrol]

used butter browns too, based as fuck

[glossy sandal]

bro

that's hilarious

suisei cosplay is lit

[gloomy patrol]

your friendly trap out here putting in the work

[normal fiber]

there is a logitech mouse and keyboard combo for 50 bucks

which might mean that keyboard might go for around 20

k825

[glossy sandal]

rise and grind

[royal saddle]

after 1 day ive coped so hard that my keyboard feels good

my space bar is the perfect thoccx

[river wharf]

if only https://keebsforall.com/products/zoom-tkl-ee-by-meletrix-black-case-color? had a knob

ill get the q1 pro ig

[stoic tangle]

Qk75 might've been perfect for you but it ended, maybe jris 75?

[royal saddle]

rate my build:
Board: CIY Tester84 (TONS of factory stab lube)
Switches: Feker Matcha Green (factory lube)
Keycaps: XVX Forest Double Shot PBT Keycap Set (189-Key)
Layout: I remapped some keys, swapping home with delete, and then replacing Print screen, pause, and home with mute, vol down, vol up
budget: $150 AUD or around $100 USD

[amber tartan]

you didnt make your own layout you jsut remap keys

[royal saddle]

ok changed

it types really well

[amber tartan]

nice

[river wharf]

link?

iv also heard that wireless is bad for gaming so im wondering if i should go for a better wired one

[amber tartan]

the latency is a non issue

[river wharf]

for which one

i hear that the q1 pro wireless has a 90Hz polling rate over Bluetooth which is bad for gaming

[unkempt dome]

don't use bluetooth for gaming

get a keyboard that has 2.4 gHz dongle if you want good wireless

[river wharf]

what are the options for a 75% hot swappable black keyboard then

[unkempt dome]

check akko

they might have something you like

[river wharf]

affter putting in the filters, they don't

[unkempt dome]

[river wharf]

i kinda like this one

[fallow iris]

Guys!! :D

I just finished my first keyboard mod, and I was wondering what you guys thought of it, if it sounds decent or not :P

Well.. "First keyboard mod" as in getting foam, lubing some switches, and doing the tape mod

[normal fiber]

Anyone know keycap sets that let light through the characters

[normal fiber]

Pretty good

I'm about to do a 2nd mod to my keyboard which is foam

Everything came prelubed so I didn't have to worry about that

And I put some tape on the pcb as my first mod

[normal fiber]

How's the space bar though

[amber tartan]

shine through?

[normal fiber]

Yeah something like that

For low light typing

[amber tartan]

it is called shine through

[normal fiber]

Ok

Who provides good shine through? Because I have not seen any keycap set be advertised as that

Idk if I might not be searching hard enough

[amber tartan]

usually cheap keycaps do shine through

or razer if youre desperate

[fluid igloo]

Is the wooting 60he good for typing

[amber tartan]

ike any other keyboard

[normal fiber]

What makes it any other different

It's just hall effect

Games are the only difference

[fluid igloo]

The feel or smth

[royal patrol]

it's definitely not a board aimed at typists

you should only buy it if you intend to use its flexible actuation point switch feature for gaming

thats the only reason it exists

[normal fiber]

I was gonna buy it myself

[fluid igloo]

Of course

[normal fiber]

But full size was too expensive for me and 60 wasn't enough

[fluid igloo]

But typing is still important

[normal fiber]

It's a linear switch

Should be fine

[hollow abyss]

Based borzoi

[glossy sandal]

Where’d you hear that

[normal fiber]

Isn't that most bt devices?

[glossy sandal]

Unsure

[normal fiber]

I've heard that most bt keyboards have like a 90-100 hz

[glossy sandal]

I’ve used Bluetooth devices

Yeah it’s around there

But it doesn’t really matter if you’re using wired

[forest verge]

any keyboard recs? my main color scheme is black with white/silver/gray, but it would be really nice to be able to switch to black with (dark) blue and black with red at will

prefer kaihl box white switches

[glossy sandal]

just get a black case and white/silver/grey keycaps

This works

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0238/7342/1376/products/CK042922-118-Edit-Edit.jpg?v=1658703215

[amber tartan]

the AL.6

really cool looking backplate

and then get extras

[stoic tangle]

Unfortunately basically all shine through keycaps are cheap and suck. I've tried and wasted money trying

[normal fiber]

Damm

I guess I'm gonna need light or remember where the keys are

[amber tartan]

do people not learn homerow

[normal fiber]

Mostly binds

[amber tartan]

what?

[normal fiber]

You know

Uh

Well whenever I need to remember something I have to look down sometimes

Or making sure I type a password right

[amber tartan]

ok so learn to not look down as much

[normal fiber]

For whatever reason I can't trust my fingers

[amber tartan]

you should

makes you type faster

[normal fiber]

probaBLY

ive seen many people boast 100+

200s even

[amber tartan]

not probably it definitely will

[glossy sandal]

Work on acc!!

[normal fiber]

i forgo speed if i do

[glossy sandal]

Speed comes with time

[normal fiber]

if i want one i have to give up on one

thats how bad i am

[amber tartan]

learn acc first then speed

[glossy sandal]

Pay attention to what you’re typing

[amber tartan]

the process is usually accuracy > homerow > touch type > speed(practice)

[glossy sandal]

I didn’t do home row, I did do touch typing though

Average 90-100

[normal fiber]

i could jeep speed and gain accuracty if i use something like my phone

putting it close to my keyboard

[glossy sandal]

What

[normal fiber]

yeah i still need to look at my keys

[glossy sandal]

Maybe just type slower and familiarize yourself with your keys

And then type faster as soon as you’re comfortable typing without looking

[amber tartan]

i recommend typing on a laptop since the screen is right above your keys, ive seen it help with new typers

[normal fiber]

huh ok

[amber tartan]

that is if you already have a laptop

[normal fiber]

i can just put my keyboard above my laptop lol

[amber tartan]

sure

[normal fiber]

not a fan of the laptop keyboard

[amber tartan]

it helps with the muscle memory

as long as the screen is close enough to see the keyboards edge but not where youre directly looking at the keys

[unkempt dome]

it's good for anything

[forest verge]

honestly was in general considering a "gaming" keyboard

only downside is ofc lower build quality and its hard to get kaihl box white switches on em

[amber tartan]

seems fair

[glossy sandal]

what does a gaming keyboard even mean

[forest verge]

your average "gaming" branded keyboard

[forest verge]

and the switches usually aint swappable

[glossy sandal]

what makes this a gaming keyboard

i literally see no difference aside from rgb to a regular full size

[forest verge]

non swappable switches, media keys, rgb, it just being branded as one, dedicated software

i don't know why we're having this discussion

[glossy sandal]

and you want a board like this?

[forest verge]

when did i say that

[glossy sandal]

.

so you want a custom board or a gaming board? im having trouble understanding

[forest verge]

im wondering what the best option would be

[forest verge]

a gaming keyboard would solve looks but it has it's own issues as mentioned here

building my own is usually more expensive but more customiseable but for looks in that situation not nearly as easy

[glossy sandal]

I guess if you want that specific color scheme, custom

[forest verge]

it would be nice being able to easily switch between black and silver/gray, black and (dark) blue, and black and red

rgb is very good for that, which is the bane of custom

[glossy sandal]

i mean, you could just get keycaps with silver/gray and a black case

this looks like it

and get a keyboard that uses rgb i.e keychron q series

[turbid badge]

heyyyy, hello!!! i'm new in the channel so first of all hi!
i'm here bc i wanted to ask y'all for a recommendation in keyboards, what should i look for and even a recommendation
As my preferences y would like full size and replaceable switches

[river wharf]

Ig my final question is, Where can I get a black 75% hot swappable keyboard with a wireless dongle that also has a knob

[glossy sandal]

Yknow what, maybe check out Qk75

When extras drop of course

[river wharf]

What?

[glossy sandal]

qk75 was a preorder, after those orders are fulfilled, there will be extras.

[stoic tangle]

I mean i wouldn't recommend the black qk75, the spray paint they use feels rough

[glossy sandal]

You have seen one irl?

[blissful dragon]

i recommend taking a look at keychron

[stoic tangle]

Reviews with the spray coats say they're a rough texture, not ideal for typing on

[glossy sandal]

Interesting.

[stoic tangle]

Might get their anodized blue for r2

[glossy sandal]

I never heard anything about that for qk65

Which in some configurations can also be spray painted.

[stoic tangle]

It was a different process this time, possibly to add the glitter

[glossy sandal]

Odd

[stoic tangle]

I mean if you can keep your hand floating like one should anyways it's fine. I just know I don't lol

[gloomy patrol]

V6 or q6

[glossy sandal]

Hey astro

[river wharf]

i think ill buy a 15 dollar keyboard for now,and look for more

[stoic tangle]

If you're fine with white nj80 had what you want

[river wharf]

link?

[stoic tangle]

https://m.aliexpress.us/item/3256802947910500.html?

Think th80 is a budget version of that

[river wharf]

y is the font so big

i had to delete the m from the link

[stoic tangle]

Oh thought you meant on the keycaps, I'm on my phone rn

[river wharf]

would this be better https://iqunix.store/products/iqunix-zx75-dark-side-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40325952077884

[stoic tangle]

Iqunix is good but terrible for modding if you care about that

[wind geyser]

https://kineticlabs.com/apparel/kinetic/cotton-typing-gloves?utm_campaign=email-12-17-22-refiber-gloves&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customerio

I'm at a loss for words

[glossy sandal]

Man.

[river wharf]

what?

why is it bad to mod in

[stoic tangle]

It's really inconvenient to take apart for mods and don't make much difference. They're decent stock but that's basically a ceiling

[river wharf]

ah so i won't go for that then

maybe i dont need wireless

[glossy sandal]

I’m going to lube a switch with white out

[river wharf]

lube

[glossy sandal]

It’s sticky

It won’t come back up

[stoic tangle]

White out dries lol

[glossy sandal]

I’m aware

[river wharf]

after thinking im ready for a wired keyboard

[woven dawn]

Is razer huntsman mini good

[glossy sandal]

Not really

[glossy sandal]

Keychron Q1 works.

[fading iris]

Please don’t I tried one in my local store and it felt like cheap ass piece of plastic and weighed nothing I’d genuinely rather have a basic office keyboard than a cheap feeling huntsman

[glossy sandal]

Hi British, been a while

[fading iris]

Yeah I had bad case of Covid for a week or two but I’m good now

[glossy sandal]

[fading iris]

[river wharf]

which version

[glossy sandal]

Q1v2

[river wharf]

when is the wireless version coming out

[glossy sandal]

January, shipping is expected in march.

[river wharf]

is it through a dongle or bluetooth

[glossy sandal]

Bluetooth 5.1, you can turn off pings to reply btw.

[river wharf]

i think ill buy that if the reviews are good

[fading iris]

I prefer keyboards with cables and then wireless mice ( or a loose cable one like a Glorious Mouse) idk why just a random ass preference

[river wharf]

wired for gaming bluetooth for everything else

i hear bluetooth keyboards have a lot of lag

[woven dawn]

What’s the best keyboard for small hands

[fading iris]

Depends

What’s your budget?

Do you want a prebuilt?

[woven dawn]

100 max

[fading iris]

Do you intend to mod it?

[woven dawn]

Prebuilt

No

Just a prebuilt Gaming Keyboard for small hands

[glossy sandal]

V4

[urban panther]

honestly just look at the keychron V lineup and pick a layout you like

[fading iris]

“If you don’t know what keyboard to get you can’t go wrong with a keychron -Master Oogway”

[urban panther]

I think this will be my next board

Really hoping akko does another full size, but I don't think my chances are good

[royal patrol]

go q5

[glossy sandal]

Why not step up from keychron?

They’re decent for getting into the hobby but won’t it get boring?

[urban panther]

it would be for a not gaming setup

mouse space isn't an issue

since it'll probably be used with a magic trackpad half the time

[urban panther]

Anyone else who does ready to ship at decent quality?

[glossy sandal]

Aftermarket is a thing

[urban panther]

yeah thats true

[glossy sandal]

Keychron does have that that they have everything ready to ship

[urban panther]

I view keyboards as a tool

and keychron is very adequate for that need

[glossy sandal]

I view them as something I use everyday

[urban panther]

exactly

[glossy sandal]

Why wouldn’t I care for something I use everyday

Though I may be a tad more enveloped than others

[urban panther]

I'm very happy with my Q3 right now

[royal patrol]

keychron q series is nice

[glossy sandal]

Sure is

[urban panther]

the other reason why i was thinking keychron, is I thought most of the custom market was focused on small boards?

[open crow]

Thats crazy, how does it feel?

[glossy sandal]

…?

[glossy sandal]

Yeah, full size boards are harder to come by, there’s a gb for one right now I think

Dino104

Ah nevermind, it came and went

There’s a lot more interest in 1800 though.

[urban panther]

hmmmmmmmmm

don't think thats the right one

[glossy sandal]

Find it here

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=114086.0

[urban panther]

Nothing against people who are into super high end stuff; just not for me

[open crow]

He big boi

[open crow]

350 is for me max on a keyboard

[glossy sandal]

[open crow]

Maybe some day a 450 ish keybaord for endgame nothing more

[urban panther]

lol maybe after working a salaried job for a year

but im more of a "well, 90% of the way there is basically all the way there..." kind of person

[open crow]

Yes

[urban panther]

if that makes sense

[open crow]

With me first 10% is done very slowly and everything after that is quick

[glossy sandal]

I’m starting to think of designing my own board

Make a 1/1

[urban panther]

hand wiring could be fun
or it could be a nightmare

[glossy sandal]

I’m guessing that would be around 700-800$?

[urban panther]

does this channel have slowmode
it does not

[gloomy patrol]

hype

[glossy sandal]

Does not, there would be a notice in the text box

[gloomy patrol]

uh i feel like the 4 back plate thing might get a bit more pricy than that

[urban panther]

my dumbass just realized that

[glossy sandal]

Maybe a external one though

[gloomy patrol]

if you keep the top mminimal you might be able to keep it there

[glossy sandal]

Gaojie 😭😭😭

[open crow]

Same but i wanna sell mine

[glossy sandal]

Yeah, still unsure what to do for top

[gloomy patrol]

this is a tkl right

lowk 3.0 top was hot

cursive on the gap between nav and arrows is basic but nice

you rlly dont have much space to work with

gas what are some cool 60s i shud look at

[glossy sandal]

I wanna do a Mode80 forehead

[gloomy patrol]

like not ones i can buy

[glossy sandal]

The 5head lmao

[gloomy patrol]

lowk forehead gave it a lot of personallity

j throwing it out there

pen rail

[glossy sandal]

Nah that’s too much

I might curve the top

[gloomy patrol]

hmm i can see a curve looking interesting

[glossy sandal]

https://mechgroupbuys.com

lol

[gloomy patrol]

at one point i wanted to do a 60 with on xt col on each side pen rail on two with two badges on each side of the pen rail

[glossy sandal]

What

[gloomy patrol]

like old ahh ones

[glossy sandal]

Oh just like old sold through boards

[gloomy patrol]

yea

someone mentioned it earlier and now i want to figure out my grail for each layout

[glossy sandal]

Didn’t know about this until like 4 hrs ago

https://www.endgames.io

[gloomy patrol]

tf thats a thing

ofc its a .io

💀 💀

[glossy sandal]

it’s not a endgame list

Just people uploading their boards

[gloomy patrol]

i thought it was a list of endgames to scroll through

ok yk there is a heavy grail on there

[glossy sandal]

Maybe gmmk pro is someone’s endgame

[gloomy patrol]

not bad

[gloomy patrol]

ong good on them

they are saved from poverty

[glossy sandal]

real

Honestly, check deskthority

[gloomy patrol]

looks interesting

Does G Skill make good keyboards

[glossy sandal]

Maybe avoid threads like these though

[glossy sandal]

No

I saw your question for a keyboard good for small hands, I’d recommend a smaller layout

A good prebuilt under 100$, like you mentioned would be my choice of keychron’s V4/V2

[woven dawn]

Actually, speaking of Keychron, I’m reading a article on the K2 right now

[river wharf]

how bad is gaming on bluetooth

[glossy sandal]

Not that bad, depends how much you blame latency for your own shortcomings

[river wharf]

i hear the "polling hz' impacts it

[glossy sandal]

Wouldn’t recommend it as much as V2/V4

Only benefit is it’s wireless

Other than that, V series takes the spotlight

[woven dawn]

Is $80 good for the V4

Same price as the Razer Huntsman Mini I was looking at

[glossy sandal]

Yeah that’s good

[woven dawn]

OK

[glossy sandal]

@gloomy patrol join bleach’s stream

[gloomy patrol]

in a sec

why not tag me on the server

[glossy sandal]

Because he didn’t ping you

He’s doing stabs rn

@gloomy patrol he’s unboxing the frog!!

[glossy sandal]

Make sure you pick the switches you want btw

[woven dawn]

What’s ur guys preference

Brown, Red or Blue

[gloomy patrol]

red

[woven dawn]

Blue

[urban panther]

tactile

[woven dawn]

? What’s that

Sorry lmao I’m really new started a week ago

[urban panther]

so the "standard" colors are as follow
red = linear
brown = tactile
blue = clicky

[woven dawn]

My rankings go 1. Clicky
2. Tactile 3. Linear

[urban panther]

I like clicky for typing tasks; but I also like open back headphones

[ionic briar]

finalmeme bouta drop the most question mark keyboard in existence

[glossy sandal]

lol

pcb is cool but that’s about all I have to say

[ionic briar]

yea

[unkempt dome]

Kailh box white, box jade and box navy would be something you should look at if you like clicky

[runic plover]

What are some good stab under 25$ for the gmmk pro

15$*

[gloomy patrol]

Cherry clip ins

If they fit

[dawn swan]

does anyone know of a fullsize or 96% keyboard that is hot-swappable or has kailh box white/jade switches already installed

which has below 10ms latency

so 1000hz

keycron and ducky both have high latency

ducky only 500hz

asking for someone who wants those features but does not want to solder

[amber tartan]

no

full size hotswap boards are already hard enough to find

[glossy sandal]

Keychron has 1ms< delay

And 1000hz polling rate

What’re you on about

[dawn swan]

which model

[glossy sandal]

Any V/Q series model

I’m unsure about the rest but I’m also pretty sure K Pro series are the same.

[dawn swan]

i found this list of some review site attempting to make a standardized latency test setup

https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/tests/latency

half of the keychron are above 10ms but some are fairly good

[unkempt dome]

unnoticeable ...

[glossy sandal]

The difference is negligible

[dawn swan]

this keyboard was supposedly tested as 1ms response 4000hz

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VNT29L1

[ionic briar]

so finalmeme

[smoky comet]

[ionic briar]

you are paying for a 2nd screen on the table and a proprietary ecosystem.

i hope you like cleaning your keyboard often too

[elfin pawn]

i just hope that it's a oled screen

[gaunt vapor]

got my box navy's in yesterday and they are soooo nice for typing lmao

absolutely love them

a bit on the heavys ide though

hhave trouble typing on them when i first wake up since theyre so heavy lol

[unkempt dome]

box white are lighter

[gaunt vapor]

they certainly are

if youre not used to them id just go box jade

[fallow iris]

It's at the end of the vid

[river wharf]

Does the q1 pro have a 1000hz polling rate?

[glossy sandal]

In wired mode, yes.

[river wharf]

Gah.

I wish it had a dongle so I could get 1k polling rate with no cable

[cold jewel]

Is the logitech MX Keys a good keyboard in general?

Like I used to have mech kbs before, but now since I don't game much, I prefer a lower profile keyboard that somewhat resembles a laptop keyboard, and after looking into some keyboards, i'm planning to get the MX Keys Mini

[vagrant verge]

Yeah box switches are really nice to type on. I'm currently using box royal switches (basically non clicky navies) and my god it is glorious to type on

[glossy sandal]

glorious

[vagrant verge]

Well alright maybe glorious is a bit exaggerated but then again I'm a bit biased towards Kailh Box switches. Not as good as navies but at least I don't have family knocking at my door late at night when I use them

[fading iris]

Mechanical low profile keebs exist now but idk if it’s your style

https://www.keychron.com/collections/low-profile-keyboard-collection/products/keychron-k7-ultra-slim-wireless-mechanical-keyboard#

[cold jewel]

yeah I've seen some, its just that having used my laptop's built in keeb for so long, I'm now actually more used to this "laptop-style" or perhaps chiclet style keyboards, with no mechanical switches, just membrane low profile keys

Even though I've used mech keebs in the past, for some reason I just want to keep coming back to the "laptop style" keebs

[fading iris]

Since you don’t game much anymore is it just for typing and stuff?

[cold jewel]

yeah just university stuff, like studies and basic usage like browsing and whatever

[fading iris]

If so the mx mini will do fine

[cold jewel]

yeah

[fading iris]

So yeah then the mx mini will suffice

[cold jewel]

I was also considering getting a g915 tkl

but i'm gonna go to a nearby best buy and see if they have any on display, then try it out before ordering

since the g915 is also a low profile mech kb

[fading iris]

Good idea

[cold jewel]

and I dont need numpad hence tkl

[fading iris]

It’s always best to try sumn expensive before you go and order it incase there are problems returning it

[fading iris]

Yeah

[cold jewel]

it looks so fucking amazing

[fading iris]

I was actually also considering this because I use my mechanical 60% keyboard for games but I prefer to type on a membrane or TKL for long typing

[fading iris]

It does

[cold jewel]

yeah that last part of your sentence is why I was leaning towards a membrane over any mech kb, since I mainly need it for long typing for uni assignments and shit

anyway, imma go and try one out irl then decide

[hot trail]

I've had my g915 tkl since it came out and it's been great. The only thing I've had to do is buy a replacement keycap set for it because one of the key broke off while cleaning it.

Logitech doesn't do rma for the keycaps. Had to buy a whole set for $40 on Amazon

[fading iris]

Oof

Do they take specific keycaps or just any low profiles?

[cold jewel]

im surprised that the MX Keys mini only runs for 10 days on a single charge (with backlight on)

but then 5 months without backlight

[hot trail]

They're specific keycaps. Can't do any low profile keycaps

[cold jewel]

like how much charge does the backlight take lmao

10 days vs 5 months? like bruh what

[fading iris]

I hate when companies do that

Forcing you to buy their likely overpriced stuff

[hot trail]

The thing is they don't even sell replacement stuff

[cold jewel]

bruh

[fading iris]

Bruh

[hot trail]

You can't buy the keycaps from logitech

[cold jewel]

also why is it even proprietary, why would they not make it compatible with any low profiles?

[fading iris]

[cold jewel]

other than money ofc

like do they have any reason other than 💰 to make it proprietary?

[hot trail]

That's what they look like

[cold jewel]

for once I actually understand why so many people prefer apple's magic keyboard

chiclet style membranes are superior for long term typing

[fading iris]

No wonder they broke

Look at those lil prongs

[hot trail]

This has been the best keyboard I've typed on tbh. Even with the keycaps flaw

I wish they had the white version when I bought mine

[fading iris]

Should’ve used switches like this

Stronger

[fading iris]

Damn that looks clean

[boreal rivet]

those are choc switches

and replacement keycaps exist

[waxen prism]

Anyone looking for a new keyboard on Amazon?

Link for anyone interested 😅https://amzn.eu/d/gSH6jN5

[cold jewel]

ayo I was tryna cop the MX Keys anyway, thanks man I'm gonna order this one

damn, after reading the 18 reviews, I am disappointed that it is some type of PC accessory, and not footwear as I hoped it would be

[fading iris]

[chrome raft]

French layout model

[waxen prism]

I’m tempted to order it to see wether I get a keyboard or a shoe

[cold jewel]

Lmao do it

Take one for the team

Keychron

Or a QK75

https://www.keychron.com/collections/normal-profile-keyboards/products/keychron-q2-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39610691420249

[potent void]

It was too good for Amazon

[twilit flare]

I'm second guessing lubing my switches at all

[river wharf]

i need something with a dongle

[river wharf]

y

[river wharf]

i need one that has a wireless dongle

[woven dawn]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6425358.p?skuId=6425358

Is this good

[unkempt dome]

akko has keyboards that come with a dongle for 2.4 gHz wireless

[river wharf]

link?

[unkempt dome]

Google

Or check higher in this chat ... I've already linked some

[river wharf]

they don't have what i need

[unkempt dome]

Ok

[river wharf]

i need it to have a knob,be metal,and have 2.4ghz

[unkempt dome]

Why metal tho

Cause they have 2.4 and knob

[river wharf]

"A lot of people describe the experience of typing on a plastic keyboard as rattily or unstable. The key strokes have more bounce to them and overall do not feel as sturdy." https://switchandclick.com/guide-to-mechanical-keyboard-cases/

[woeful lantern]

also metal is bad for wireless

[unkempt dome]

And after that same people complain that tray mount is shit and gasket mount is the best ...

Cause tray mount is too stiff even with plastic case

And now they say that it's too bouncy ...

Why don't you just try it for yourself

[woven dawn]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6425358.p?skuId=6425358

Is this keyboard good

[unkempt dome]

Ratly and unstable is quite bullshit and really keyboard specific

[river wharf]

cause i aint rich lmao

[unkempt dome]

you can resell

[river wharf]

i have no time to do that lmao

i have everything for my pc build except a keyboard

[woeful lantern]

you can sell it's just an make a listing and wait

if you really just need a keyboard get a membrane logitech one and look for the one mech you want

[glossy sandal]

Budget boards like this really do not maintain their value, wouldn’t recommend buying with reselling in mind

[gleaming eagle]

is there a channel for mouses too

[twilit flare]

Just ask here

Or #1027757333117415424

[autumn dock]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=AgwbIXNbVFs&feature=shares

Is this a good tutorial on how to lube my linear switches?

I am just doing my sketches and keyboard which have no current modifications to them

If any what modifications should I do

[glossy sandal]

Works

Taeha also makes a guide which is a little easier to understand

[autumn dock]

Should I do any mods like replacing the stabs or cutting the stems

I do hear pinging when clicking my space bar and other keys that have stabs

[glossy sandal]

please don’t cut the stems off your stabs

you wanna cut the extra legs, if there are any

You wanna clip (if needed, lube and balance the stabs, anything else isn’t really needed for the stabs

There’s guides for this all on yt.

[twilit flare]

Its not

It's complicated

[river wharf]

Is the qk75 good for future modifications?

[autumn dock]

I think I am going to replace the stabs with the linked ones, and lube and balance them.

https://prevailkeyco.com/products/durock-plate-mounted-stabilizers?variant=41994081009918

It has a option to get clipped stabs as well so I am going to do that

Wait does the keychron k2 have plate mounted or screw in stabilizers?

[graceful drift]

yeah

pretty sure any qwertykeys or owlabs can last you long enough for further modifs

unless they decide to invent a new switch socket type

[river wharf]

My dumbass meant to say the zx75

[graceful drift]

iqunix?

iirc

[river wharf]

Ye

[graceful drift]

it has a few flaws with the bluetooth iirc regarding the range being no more that 2m or something like that

but other than that it‘s a solid board

looks p clean as well

[river wharf]

By Bluetooth, does that mean with or without a dongle?

[gloomy patrol]

j throwing this out here but uh, not the most reliable source, if you are on a budget esp j grab one of the akko plastic boards if you need 2.4

[river wharf]

My budget is 200 usd

Also what are ur thoughts on the zx75

[gloomy patrol]

then i would recommend waiting and picking this up in a bit

https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q1-pro-qmk-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

[urban panther]

I am intrigued

[glossy sandal]

I think Pro is an exaggeration but still a nice update to Q series

[river wharf]

It doesn’t have a wireless dongle tho

[urban panther]

I just assume Pro doesn't mean processional 99% of the time

[river wharf]

Are knobs actually useful on a keyboard?

[glossy sandal]

It depends person from person really

I personally find knobs tacky and never use them

But another person might love them and use them often

[river wharf]

What are some 2.4ghz dongle having keyboards that are black,aluminum,don’t have a knob, and are under 200 usd then

Oh sorry for the ping

[glossy sandal]

It’s fine

Metal and wireless don’t really mix, qk75 would be what you’re looking for though

[river wharf]

Why don’t wireless and metal mix?

[glossy sandal]

It can reflect wireless signals, and mostly because custom keyboards don’t do wireless

Now that’s some good shit

Holy shit

I nearly accidentally bought a keyboard

I wasn’t looking at my phone

And when I look down I see my bank card and it asking for my Face ID for Apple Pay

Lmfao I quickly moved my head away and turned it off

Close call

[glossy sandal]

should’ve went through with it

[chrome raft]

My keyboard is arriving today

😁

Now I have to wait till Christmas until I get my PC and monitor

[twilit flare]

Gg

[open crow]

What keeb is it?

[chrome raft]

AKKO CS Jelly Blue , 3068B Plus Black&Pink

[river wharf]

Is there a big difference between metal and plastic keyboards?

[boreal rivet]

it depends on how they are designed

if I had a case made of bent steel vs a case made of machined ABS or something, the abs one would feel higher quality to me

[urban glade]

Topre kbds good

Oh I’m green I must have forgotten to change fp payment card

[boreal rivet]

how've you been doing

I've just been spending money on unnecessary shit for my amp 🙃

[cunning anvil]

keyboard smells burnt rubber on one side, i think it died :c

it types for a few seconds after plugging it in, but after that it just dies?

[stoic tangle]

Haven't heard of that but it sounds damaged yeah, did you do something different to it?

[cunning anvil]

no, but i saw 3 other people with the same board having the issue

i worry i might have jumped too quickly onto the gb lmao

i hope they respond to this issue, since i quite like this company's products

[fading iris]

It was litro more than I had in the bank

I’m broke as shit rn

[glossy sandal]

[urban glade]

I’ve been better but I’m working on it

Spending money on unnecessary shit is always good

I have 3 hhkbs now

[boreal rivet]

Sounds healthy 👍👌🙏🫡

[glossy sandal]

snow hhkb so lit

[river wharf]

Are those metal or plastic keyboards

[urban glade]

Plastic

[river wharf]

Are they stable?

[urban glade]

If anybody here is in U.K., there is a seller on eBay selling black hhkb pro2 for an amazing price. I recommend strongly.

Yeah

Hhkb is my backpack kbd

I’ve taken it to all my classes since I started uni

So amazing

[river wharf]

So it’s not like wobbly when u type?

[urban glade]

Nope

[boreal rivet]

Why do you assume boards with a plastic chassis will be uneven

[urban glade]

got to rationalise spending $$$ on a keyboard somehow

instead of just accepting that its not at all worth it

nothing wrong w thinking something isnt worth it and still proceeding to buy it - i have many many alu kbds

[viscid kiln]

Which 1

keyboard u bought

[chrome raft]

I'm not opening it until Christmas though.

I'll get a new PC and monitor on christmas

[viscid kiln]

Akko, hm cool

which switch

[chrome raft]

Jelly Blue

[viscid kiln]

They’re loud !

[snow herald]

Built a switch tester

Linears and clickys

Hopefully useful, though tempted to keep it without caps and use as decoration hehe

[urban glade]

you're uk?

[snow herald]

Yep

[urban glade]

mechboards are good guys. i bought a lot from them in my early days of the hobby.

[snow herald]

First time for me, guy emailed me as he only had 1 of the 2 durok stabs i ordered, v quick

[urban glade]

i got my first ever board i built from them haha

a helidox / corne

back in april 2019

[snow herald]

nice

this also arrived today

[urban glade]

nice! i've heard keychron good

[snow herald]

first time theyve sold a fully assembled uk iso q1v2 as far as i know

[urban glade]

i dont have any iso kbds rn

[snow herald]

i have the q1v1

[urban glade]

that keycap profile looks interesting

[snow herald]

but wanted the knob and the improvements

yeh im not sure what it is, xda maybe?

[urban glade]

i thought xda is flat. but its been years since i followed stuff like that

i only use cherry and dcs

[snow herald]

i was using MT3 on the q1 until last week, now ive switched it to the cherry set you see there

[urban glade]

i'm not a huge fan of clone sets

[urban glade]

but i also recognise its more a fault of the manus, not the buyers

[snow herald]

that was the MT3 ones

very nice

yeh getting uk iso keycap sets is a nightmare

the olivia clone im using there is actually quite nice, i got some other sets that were awful and sent back

[urban glade]

rn i'm using a bit of a mix of cherry doubleshot and dyesub, bsp dyesub, and dcs dyesub lol

[snow herald]

i have a Domikey Astronaut All in One set on the way

tripple shot on the alphas which is cool

[urban glade]

i've never had tripleshot caps

i mostly prefer pbt

[viscid kiln]

which keybaord

[snow herald]

i was very 'gotta be pbt' but then i tried those MT3 sets which are ABS

[viscid kiln]

[snow herald]

and its ok

keychron Q1v1 iso no knob

[urban glade]

i have a few abs sets - mostly og doubleshots, and a few dcs sets

[urban glade]

its a shame how expensive og doubleshots are now. they used to be such a great value lol

[snow herald]

this is my couch keyboard that im using right now to type this

tai hao oem profile shine through

not many good shine through caps really

but tai hao do ok, they're pbt too

[urban glade]

i have some led indicator caps but no shinethrough legends

how do you find them?

my friend uses a Dygma Raise, he loves it

it was cool. i prefer more normal layouts these days now though

yeh

id be interested in trying out the keychron alice layout board

i used to use a microsoft ergonomic bac in the early 2000s

never used a proper split or ortholiniear though

[urban glade]

i dont like alice layouts, i think that split kbds need tenting

[cunning anvil]

trying to find an ortholinear keyboard i like is pain right now, id buy a planck and get it over with but i cant seem to find one

ah never mind, ez was the keyword i was missing it seems

[glossy sandal]

ez

[river wharf]

I just heard that plastic keyboards sucked

[glossy sandal]

who told you that

[urban glade]

whoever told you that has either only tried shitty keyboards which happened to be plastic, and used that to aid in their conclusion that "therefore all keyboards which are plastic suck"
or they have way too much money invested in the hobby and need to justify it to themselves and others by pretending that keyboards are only good if they're made out of solid metal

[upper bison]

Most keyboards have a plastic shell lol

even in the 80s

[river wharf]

Oh ok

[unkempt dome]

Cause someone in a video said that plastic keyboard are unstable, bouncy and bend when typing ... so now cause of that he's set on an alu keyboard but wants 2.4gHz wireless.

[urban glade]

i have boards worth stupid amounts and i'm still more than happy to use plastic kbds

[upper bison]

Because some fool forgot to put the steel backplate inside, or didn't attach it right

[urban glade]

you dont have to justify frivolous purchases by pretending that any cheaper options are objectively worse

[river wharf]

Just need a wireless dongle capable black(with rbg) hot swappable keyboard

[upper bison]

"buy once, cry once"

[unkempt dome]

Most likely ... I don't really care about that video tho

[river wharf]

That’s what I did buying my pc build parts

And that’s what I’ll do when I buy the 4090

[upper bison]

Try to focus on the peripherals as well, vs just computing power.

[unkempt dome]

I pointed you towards keyboard that has the dongle you want and that are black
For the price they are quite good ... and if you wait for boxing day they will probably be on sale

[upper bison]

And the gpu market rn isn't the best.

[ivory heath]

Just got this lil guy in the mail

I'm not 100% sure how to feel about it. It's super light and the sound is very muted. which is a good contrast from my other one, but the keycaps that it came with feel not amazing and I don't like how prone to fingerprints they are

[river wharf]

Did it have a wireless dongle?

[unkempt dome]

.

[river wharf]

Also I’m kinda aiming for a 165-200 usd one

[river wharf]

I misread it lol I thought I saw knob

[twilit flare]

Sexyyy

[steep pilot]

my mouse wont click while im holding a key down on my msi laptop keyboard what do i doooooo

[forest verge]

if i'm getting a keychron v1 base, how many switches and keycaps do i need?

[glossy sandal]

About 80

But get 90 tbh

Getting an exact number and breaking a switch is a real shame

[woven dawn]

Should I get the Razer Huntsman Mini

It’s mini because i have small hands

[open crow]

No

[open crow]

Tf

[river wharf]

Trying to do that now lol

[quick flower]

Anyone know a good 10keyless keyboard? I don't use numpad but I use arrow keys and delete keys etc... RGB preferred. Got a corsair k70 lowfire or whatever (I'm not arguing keyboards with anyone) just looking for one someone has that they like

[urban panther]

I like my Keychron Q3. It's probably not the best by any means; but it's solid, reliable, and gets the job done.

[glossy sandal]

budget?

[quick flower]

Anywhere from 50-200 is fine. I've had this one near for about 2 years and I like it and all, and I like the (Cherry MX RED) switches (I think theyre cherry mx read) but I would like possibly in the future for something without the 10keys.

US*

[glossy sandal]

q3 works

if you want cheaper, keychron v3 also works

if you need wireless, keychron k8 pro works

it's all coming up keychron lol

alternatively if you never intend to mess around with your board with mods and such, leopold are really really really nice prebuilts

[quick flower]

I feel liek I'd mess that stuff up lol

Do I have to buy own keys/switches for keychrons?

[woven dawn]

What’s a really good keyboard under 100

I’m not looking for modded or anything, just a clicky gaming keyboard

[fringe path]

I don't mind the keychron boards? some models come with qmk and work with via

@quick flower no but you can buy it as a bare board..

[glossy sandal]

you can buy it preassembled so you don't have mess anything up

[glossy sandal]

I've recommended you the keychron v4 maybe 2 times now, at this point if you're ignoring advice buy a razer

[normal fiber]

What keycap profile should I try?

did you guys see that funny looking final mouse keyboard?

[spice raptor]

Is it a standard keyboard matrix where you have Power go to "Input" on your switches and then the "Output" Of each switch then sends along the row and column tied to that switch, which then goes to the MCU

Is this efficient?

[glossy sandal]

wha..?

[spice raptor]

I am overcomplicated which results in me confusing people?

[boreal rivet]

[amber tartan]

[royal saddle]

wtf why do i type better after months / weeks of not being able to type properly like when my hand / elbow is injuredd

[forest verge]

i'll get 90 kaihl whites then

is there anything specific i need to look out for in terms of compatibility when i'm buying key__caps__?

[glossy sandal]

Just buy whatever looks more comfortable

And of course use logic, low profile keycaps that are paper thin will not fit on standard mx stems

you can send any you find here if you’re unsure

oh kitting too, you’ll have to make sure the keycap set you’re buying can accommodate 75%.

alr

i'll probably just send anything i find here
