[glossy sandal]

there is bad and good pbt and abs

[candid nova]

Yeah of course there are

[glossy sandal]

I like pbt

I want crp soon

[candid nova]

Damn

[glossy sandal]

is called shine

happens with time because of finger oils and usage and stuf

[candid nova]

Just heavy usage in general

[glossy sandal]

ok

[chrome mauve]

I'd assume it'd have to do with general wear and tear. not oil

[candid nova]

There is really bad shine on the WASD on my keeb

[glossy sandal]

you have finger oils

[chrome mauve]

if it is oil, then you can just use soap or something to get rid of it

[candid nova]

no?

[glossy sandal]

you have oil in your hands

[candid nova]

Your body produces oil

[glossy sandal]

it degrades the plastic

just a tiny bit

and shines it

[chrome mauve]

slightly corrosive, ig

[glossy sandal]

something like that

I don’t really care about shine

[candid nova]

No thats not how it works

[glossy sandal]

I game on abs

it’s whatever

[candid nova]

The friction between the oils and the plastic cause the shine

[glossy sandal]

I don’t intend on selling so

[candid nova]

I just dont like the look of shine

[chrome mauve]

so, general wear

[glossy sandal]

yeah it’s up to person to person

babying sets isn’t for me

I play osu and shit

my z and x are slippery asf

[candid nova]

💀

[chrome mauve]

be a man and use 7 and 2 only

[glossy sandal]

hell no

[chrome mauve]

index pinky style

[glossy sandal]

I tried using 12

Didn’t like the sound it produced

also R1 cherry profile is not it for repetitive tapping

[sharp hatch]

Does anyone have a link to an AFFORDABLE synthesizer board I can use with a program on a pc?

[wild sundial]

[twilit flare]

But u about to drop 200 something bucks on a wooting

They got decent entry keybosrds

[pastel drift]

It’s the keyboards

Bad keyboards

[twilit flare]

Their keyboards are durable

[pastel drift]

They should stick to mice

[twilit flare]

Had the cynosa for like 2 years at this point

[pastel drift]

No cap

Aw hell no

So overpriced

[twilit flare]

I might get this cool Logitech mice on sale

[pastel drift]

[twilit flare]

G305 lightspedd

It's cheap

Probably reliable

I got into sports next sem bro but gym 1st class 😭

[pastel drift]

[glossy sandal]

they should

[urban panther]

How much does it weigh

[jade rose]

it's 3D printed plastic, no scale on hand, it's honestly pretty light

it's thick, not a real thin bar or anything

[nova coral]

opinions on the rk61 for being budget friendly is it worth the buy?

[open crow]

Fuck ur profile

Im blind

[nova coral]

[open crow]

Thank u

[glossy sandal]

holy hell this thing is thick

[boreal rivet]

its an old design from way back when 5mm brass plates were getting trendy

[glossy sandal]

I have a question

pertaining to audio

[boreal rivet]

yes?

[glossy sandal]

is there machine learning anc

I asked a friend this earlier and they didn’t have an answer

[boreal rivet]

no

it'll probably show up sooner or later though

[glossy sandal]

I was told it was a stupid proposal

I asked for a technical term to no avail, do you know what it’s called?

[boreal rivet]

wdym technical term

[glossy sandal]

is there a fancy name

[boreal rivet]

I dont think so, since its not an actual thing yet

[glossy sandal]

for machine learning anc

cry

[boreal rivet]

they probably use ml when designing the algorithms though

[glossy sandal]

ml?

[boreal rivet]

machine learning

[glossy sandal]

oh

ok!!!

actually I might not need another board, I need a new pc

[alpine needle]

what's the best switches mostly for typing and programming but also a bit of gaming? like an all rounder

[unkempt dome]

It doesn't matter

You pick what you like

[slate ocean]

Is is ok if I ask for pics of some of your guys' keyboards? Id like to get inspiration for building my own.

[quaint ruin]

this is one im currently customizing for me :D

[slate ocean]

I gotta say that's a very unique one

[quaint ruin]

ye im getting people to pick a key and a colour of they're choice so

[amber tartan]

[quaint ruin]

[amber tartan]

More like pro

[coral ferry]

did I pay too much?

[urban panther]

for what

[coral ferry]

DASK3PROMS1

[urban panther]

< $10

can't really go wrong with that price

[coral ferry]

the keyboard was weird, but I paid for it, then took off the cap. looks like alli have to do is properly re-attach the bar

seems better than the 35 dollar one I have

and I have plenty of spare switches from my old keyboard...I guess?

[peak warren]

I’m getting the fx zero soft. Will I regret it?

[coral ferry]

if it's anything like f zero x, it'll be great

[cunning anvil]

what are some fun legends that arent for human languages?

[nova coral]

opinions on huntsman mini?

[blissful dragon]

ew razer

[urban panther]

is it very very cheap?

[unkempt dome]

Something like elven, orcish, klingon keycaps ?

[cunning anvil]

yes, something like those or space cadet? doesnt have to be for a language

[unkempt dome]

I've seen elven keycaps at some point

[cunning anvil]

id feel awkward using elven/orcish/dwarvish without having read lotr tho

[unkempt dome]

But that's about it

Well read lotr ... it's good

[cunning anvil]

tru, "what made you pick up lotr?" "keycaps"

[unkempt dome]

I didn't pick any, I just saw some on amazon some years ago

And I remembered them when I saw your question

Maybe get a blank set and dye sub some legend of your own

[cunning anvil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/sbwxr9/new_keycaps_came_in/
found some instructions on this thread

also might straight up order those

love diablo

[nova coral]

£70 pricepoint

[coral ferry]

id say Braille, but that's literally implying blind people aren't human

[coarse chasm]

😛

[nova coral]

woah lovin the setup

[ivory ingot]

space cadet, APL

big fan of APL personally

[chrome raft]

i found my old razer x chroma keyboard

[pastel drift]

yooo i think i have one

i need to find it

[chrome raft]

i found mine but i lost some key caps unfortunately

and i am not willing to spend 40 dollars on a key cap kit thing

[pastel drift]

lol

[glossy sandal]

anyone wanna tell me what keycaps these are

[chrome raft]

those are the ones with the letters on them

[glossy sandal]

looks like a gmk set but can’t think of the exact set

[glossy sandal]

you’re hilarious

[chrome raft]

thank you

i appreciate the positive feedbacks

[urban panther]

Rectangular

[glossy sandal]

this was a mistake

[pastel drift]

lol

you're the pro keyboarder

[glossy sandal]

cries

[chrome raft]

dont they use those on keyboards ?

[glossy sandal]

I’ve narrowed it down to gmk fundamentals but I’m unsure of the rgb accents

[pastel drift]

maybe steel looking things

[glossy sandal]

what

you mean metal artisans?

[chrome raft]

the ones that are for your fingers maybe

im gonna go take a shit and send you a picture of the results afterwards

[pastel drift]

i guess

try google lens and see if that works

[glossy sandal]

looked on yandex

nothing there

[glossy sandal]

why do I even check this server man

[chrome raft]

U want Puttur the same thing as a cheap flight

[pastel drift]

w server ngl

[glossy sandal]

ok

[pastel drift]

:(

[coral ferry]

i hope i have the blue model...it sounds blue

i need a chip puller or something

[glossy sandal]

das keyboards are interesting

people lost their shit when they did blank keycaps

[coral ferry]

is that code for "overpriced"?

[glossy sandal]

I have no idea actually

[coral ferry]

the website says they want 120 USD for this...

[glossy sandal]

Das isn’t talked about much

anymore anyways

probably faded into obscurity

[coral ferry]

maybe it's just me, but i wouldnt pay more than 50 for this new

[glossy sandal]

same with Matias

[glossy sandal]

it’s up to you

[coral ferry]

i knew a guy named Mathias

[glossy sandal]

I wouldn’t pay more than like 15$ for most gamer boards

especially if they use proprietary stuff and not mechanical switches

[coral ferry]

want a hot take?

[glossy sandal]

no

I can guarantee I’ve heard it

[coral ferry]

mechanical keyboards are for typing

[glossy sandal]

ok

some people would disagree with you

[coral ferry]

yes

[glossy sandal]

because mx in their eyes are horrible for typing

they prefer stuff like topre and beamspring and whatnot

(you know who you are)

I personally don’t have any issue with mx for typing but it’s whatever

[coral ferry]

if i were on a professional gamer, who needed to be sure of my timing, I would prefer bottom to be activation. Mostly because, as a "gamer", that's how every other gaming system handled button presses.

but at my actual level...it doesnt matter, so i'll use a mechanical

[unkempt dome]

Best keyboard I ever had for typing was a model m

And the second best was a plastic slider with spring over membrane

[boreal rivet]

anything can be good for typing

it just has to be not shit

[boreal rivet]

I've never actually tried a beamer, though my friends who own them say they're overrated (which is almost definitely true)

[glossy sandal]

bmw

[boreal rivet]

and the profile of a beamer is just not something any sane person would want to daily

[glossy sandal]

I’ve tried a couple beamsprings

They’re fun

Not something for me though

[boreal rivet]

as with most things related to vint, chros hyped them and the price inflated to ridiculous levels

fuck that guy

[glossy sandal]

chros?

chyrosan?

[boreal rivet]

yes

misstype

[glossy sandal]

His videos bore the fuck out of me

I’d actually rather buy stuff to try instead

[boreal rivet]

sometimes also objectively wrong

dude doesnt do any research

[glossy sandal]

no moners though

so I go to meetup

[glossy sandal]

All I hear of him is people hype him up as a god among men when it comes to vint

I don’t watch keeb yt though, bad for the brain

[boreal rivet]

he used to be regarded as that because public figure and all

i think he still is actually

[glossy sandal]

you’re blowing my mind..‼️

totally is

[boreal rivet]

but the prominent vint people really dislike him

[glossy sandal]

do you know of someone named astro?

or is the vint community not as tight knit as I think

[boreal rivet]

I haven't checked in on the keyboard community in general since like

2017

i only know people who were around back then

[glossy sandal]

He’s been in it since like

20 years ago

[glossy sandal]

wtf you’re in a keyboard chat rn!!!

[boreal rivet]

just here to have some fun

[boreal rivet]

never heard of him

[glossy sandal]

damn!!

So vint community isn’t as tight knit as I’d like to believe

[glossy sandal]

I still am the point where I wanna help :D

[boreal rivet]

from what I can tell right now its split between flippers who only care about making money, the average vint dude and the really dedicated ones who actually care about the boards

[glossy sandal]

I think he’s in between average and dedicated

I am not that interested in vint boards but à la mode retro styled boards do peak my interest

[boreal rivet]

they're kinda pointless to me since I can buy the literal board it was based on for cheaper

and i wouldn't have to deal with the flex meme bs

[vast trench]

what's a good bang for the buck mechanical 100% keyboard

[glossy sandal]

keychron v6 would probably be your best bet

[urban panther]

Keychron V6

[urban panther]

dam you beat me to it

[glossy sandal]

do you have fun?

[boreal rivet]

yes

seeing that dude seethe after I called him out the other day was funny

[glossy sandal]

The qk65 guy?

[boreal rivet]

yeah

[glossy sandal]

you made him leave :(

[glossy sandal]

Not much of another option

[boreal rivet]

Dude just couldn’t find a decent rebuttal I guess

[urban panther]

Q6 if they can afford it

[glossy sandal]

Yeah they can get q6 if they want

V6 is prob the cheapest no nonsense full size though

[glossy sandal]

[urban panther]

its hard to argue with it

[glossy sandal]

I liked that command65

[blissful dragon]

how could he :(

[glossy sandal]

I have one vote to repossess mx’s ca66

[boreal rivet]

I don’t own any customs

[glossy sandal]

I like ca66

The jade colorway is really appealing

[glossy sandal]

do you seriously not like any modern boards

mind blowing

[boreal rivet]

if by modern you mean from 2017 to now then yes

[glossy sandal]

what changed in 2017

[boreal rivet]

there are a few exceptions but I still don't care enough to try and get them

idk the designs just look really bland

[glossy sandal]

it’s probably not gonna get any better

my tastes are stagnant and things are slowing down

[boreal rivet]

the customs I do want are either impossible to find or just too expensive for me to justify

[glossy sandal]

what do you want?

[boreal rivet]

Jane v2, moon tkl, nebula tkl, gskt just out of curiosity, qxp, kingsaver and koala

there's probably more can't remember everything

[glossy sandal]

aren’t gskt’s like 300

[boreal rivet]

are they

[glossy sandal]

yeah

[boreal rivet]

huh cool

ig i'll pick one up if I still care in like a year lol

[glossy sandal]

to be clear

gskt-00 right

[boreal rivet]

yeah

[glossy sandal]

yeah I’m seeing here

300$ shipped for some

[boreal rivet]

literally only because it was the first gasket mount board

[glossy sandal]

most don’t sell for more than 500$

[boreal rivet]

couldn't care less about it lol

[glossy sandal]

history enthusiast!

[boreal rivet]

history is fun 👍

[glossy sandal]

I just buy whatever tickles my brain

currently thinking of a top mount tkl

possibly cf half plate(?)

[boreal rivet]

I choose based on how its designed first then how it looks

[glossy sandal]

I like ogr

[boreal rivet]

though the old boards look so unique I just dont care lol

[glossy sandal]

a lot

have you seen ogr?

[boreal rivet]

it looks interesting

not my thing though

[glossy sandal]

I will buy in time

not now though

[boreal rivet]

I dont like the two layered kind of look

[glossy sandal]

the bit surrounding the keys?

[boreal rivet]

like how the board is one piece set in a larger shell

[glossy sandal]

I like that bit the most

I usually dislike obtuse bezels but I really like ogr for some reason

[boreal rivet]

yeah I just see it as unnecessary cost for something that doesn't look that great lol

[glossy sandal]

stop being elistist!!‼️

[boreal rivet]

#preference as they say

[glossy sandal]

my opinion is the right one #blessed

[glossy sandal]

About that Jane v2

Do you ever plan to afford it?

[boreal rivet]

I ain't dropping 4k on a keyboard lol

I'll either buy a kalam or try and get an me

[glossy sandal]

They’re like 2k no?

[boreal rivet]

point still stands

[glossy sandal]

me is cope, kalam seems like the better option but clone

[boreal rivet]

would rather not support kalam but even me is being scalped

cringe ass community

[cunning anvil]

how durable is wasdkeyboards custom keycaps?

for a whole set

[glossy sandal]

yeah, alexotos so thocky he inflated moontower to over 4x original price!!

sucks for people who actually want the board and not the hype behind it

[glossy sandal]

UV printed

pretty bad for durability

[cunning anvil]

dang

[boreal rivet]

I wish sam and gang would just try to keep ME in stock and leave the v2 for the purists who only want one because its rare instead of the raffle bullshit they're doing right now

[glossy sandal]

I wish for gasket mount to not be what’s in 98% of new boards

[boreal rivet]

true

[glossy sandal]

I don’t really like me versions

most aren’t appealing to me

[boreal rivet]

aesthetically it looks the same as a v2 in regular use so im fine with it

[glossy sandal]

for the ballpark they fetch I would be very pedantic

[boreal rivet]

only reason I want a jane in the first place is because it looks nice and already has alps plates designed for it

[cunning anvil]

is dye sub different from that?

[boreal rivet]

same with the moon tkl

[glossy sandal]

there’s a new alps board coming out I think

And taihao is doing alps stuff 🐛

[glossy sandal]

jane plates are lit, and widely available

[boreal rivet]

What’s it called?

[glossy sandal]

let me look for it, not big into alps

[boreal rivet]

Yeah I bought a set for whenever I decide to get the alps build done

[glossy sandal]

oh wait

not a alps board

alps pcb

https://karolingian.com/products/alpinefl-f12-f13-tkl-pcb-for-alps

Compat with h88/h87

[cunning anvil]

whats with those horizontal cuts? looks like draining holes

or is it for maximum case compatibility?

[glossy sandal]

flex cuts

[cunning anvil]

ah

[glossy sandal]

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0564/3118/1973/products/AlpineFLAlpsTKLLayout_1296x.png?v=1664742477

[boreal rivet]

Ew

[glossy sandal]

there is a version without

[boreal rivet]

Hiney still the best 🔥

[glossy sandal]

I want a new board

but I nee pc

[cunning anvil]

what do you look for in a good keycap?

[boreal rivet]

Legend type, sharpness and material

[cunning anvil]

im mostly just using blanks because i cant afford legends lol

[glossy sandal]

how can you not afford

huh

keycreative makes some of the cheapest blanks I can recommend

can’t recommend anything cheaper with confidence

[cunning anvil]

:o

[normal fiber]

How are drops dcx keycaps

Wondering if they are worth

[glossy sandal]

people like them

they seem alright

[normal fiber]

I've got my eyes on camillo

[boreal rivet]

They’re just cherry clones it seems

Support drop instead of gmk so they can get their head out of their asses

[normal fiber]

That's what I've been hearing all this time lol

Yeah I bought the blue cat from them

Like the color but profile is weirder than I thought

[glossy sandal]

the lesser of the two evils

[boreal rivet]

Exactly lol

[glossy sandal]

I wonder how keykobo will pan out

I like their wob set but no nav cluster side print makes me prefer gmk ❤️‍🩹

I really like this kitting though

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3099/8088/products/KKB_WoB_1512x.png?v=1670509729

[cunning anvil]

whats cheap set that includes colemak dh?

aside from uniform profiles

[glossy sandal]

How cheap

[cunning anvil]

i have no real reference

[glossy sandal]

a number

how much you’re comfortable with spending

then double it ,’)

[cunning anvil]

so like 50usd? i was gonna say 20-30 xP

[glossy sandal]

[cunning anvil]

is that number too low

too high?

[normal fiber]

Somewhat low

Like sure I've seen keycaps at 30 usd

But those are Ali express specials

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/879110355043909673.png?quality=lossless

[glossy sandal]

It’s a tad low

I can try to see

[cunning anvil]

i bought like 40 dsa blanks for 15 bucks once, and thats my only experience with buying caps

well and some random dye sub dsa 1XX kit for my brother and i to share

[glossy sandal]

so cheap dsa blanks and dye sub caps

because dvorak dh is a niche within a niche it’ll be kinda pricy

would suggest buying a dvorak uniform profile set and swapping around the keys

[cunning anvil]

ah, i figured uniform profile would be the cheap way lol

or just blanks, i can touch type

or just slap a cherry qwerty and ignore whats on them

[glossy sandal]

That’d give you the most options for keycaps

[glossy sandal]

Any thockers on rn

[amber tartan]

thock off

[glossy sandal]

ok

[chrome raft]

I don’t know much about keyboards

I’ve been using a cheap membrane one for like my whole life

now I was looking to get a razer huntsman v2 but do you guys have any better alternatives?

something that looks just as good (also dark)

[harsh sparrow]

Well depends on what keyboards guy you are, I mean if you like bigger or smaller keyboards

[chrome raft]

I like smaller keyboards

tenkeyless

good aesthetic

[harsh sparrow]

well there are many like that, for me the SteelSeries Apex Pro is a good one

or the Keychron K8

maybe even a corsair k70

[chrome raft]

could u look for india?

keychron costs double the huntsman here

[harsh sparrow]

I don't know much about India prices, but I can check

[chrome raft]

ok uh just suggest me like 3-4 keyboards

ones that u think r as good as huntsman v2

[harsh sparrow]

sure thing, I'll try my best

So I found a few solid keyboards, I think the prices are OK, here is the list:

Redragon K599, Razer Blackwidow v3, redragon kumara k522

[chrome raft]

whats the diff between blackwidow n huntsman?

it’s significantly cheaper than it

[harsh sparrow]

there is also a Cooler Master CK530 v2, but I don't like the design of this one really

[harsh sparrow]

the main difference is I think the switches

Huntsman has optical clicky swithes

and overall the build quality is better

but both work very well

so the Huntsman has new opto-mechanical switches, and the BlackWidow has traditional mechanical switches

but all switches are made by Razer

[chrome raft]

so like whats the advantage between the switches??

i mean yea the build quality is better

[harsh sparrow]

the advantage of the switches, they are a little bit more responsive

so they are faster

and give a different sound

[glossy sandal]

lol

[cunning anvil]

struggling to understand case mounts and picking one for my keyboard

how recommended is a plate?

though im guessing a plate is good if i want to travel with the board

[amber tartan]

plate is optional technically

plateless mount do exist for flexible typing exp

[amber tartan]

this is a non-issue, your plate will not protect anything besides hair and cheeto dust

[cunning anvil]

travelling with a plateless hotswap sounds like it could potentially be messy i mean

[amber tartan]

oh hotswap then it is an issue

i thought you were doing solder

hotswap needs a plate to hold them in place

[cunning anvil]

i might change the footprint to solder for a budget travel version

idk

[amber tartan]

milmax hotswaps are better but its still a risk

especially 7305

since its a tighter tolerance

[glossy sandal]

plateless hotswap

[cunning anvil]

idk where to get plates ;~;

actually i found this layer, is this plate?

its on user.eco1

[glossy sandal]

looks like it

[glossy sandal]

get a custom one cut

[cunning anvil]

wheres a good place to get fr4/acrylic cut for a plate?

[glossy sandal]

p3d sells them

So lit

[cunning anvil]

nice

[amber tartan]

zomg!!! F1-8x V2!!!!!

[glossy sandal]

Considering f1-8x or f1-8x v2

[pastel drift]

Epic keyboards

[cunning anvil]

i now have to choose between furthering my pcb prototype or buy space cadet legends

how often does space cadet happen

[amber tartan]

as in their appearance in the market or?

[cunning anvil]

yes?

[amber tartan]

oh you mean the caps

you can find them pretty frequently if you dont mind the clones

[cunning anvil]

oh 21kb has a cadet set, qwerty

[twilit flare]

Where's gas

[pastel drift]

Fe

Fr

[fading iris]

I feel good I just told a friend his expensive membrane keyboard was shit and showed my Shitty keyboard which was still better

[fading iris]

Any company that offers laser Cutting or CNC can make you a plate I think aslong as they aren’t a bulk company

If you know someone with a laser cutter even better

My school has a laser cutter that is controlled by a teacher that likes me so if I need a plate made I’m chilling i hope

Kinda Sus

Yep it’s a scam

He posted it in every chat

Anyways Stinky Scammers

I’ve began to enjoy my shitty keyboard more that I’ve been heavily using it

Just need to lube the switches cause they ping when I type fast and heavy

Should I ping a mod abt this?

Or do we just ignore it

[urban panther]

its effectively advertising which is against rules so ping mods if you want

[glossy sandal]

Hi

I was in a ukulele class

my fingers hurt

[glossy sandal]

Space cadet is instock pretty often

sometimes goes on sale for 100$

nice set , I don’t like cadet sublegending though

[twilit flare]

yooooooooo

[glossy sandal]

hi

how was your day nossta?

meh

you’ve asked for advice a couple times now, if you’re just looking for purchase validation, look elsewhere.

[slate ocean]

I can recommend the keychron K12, it can be wired or wireless and it's pretty nice stock. You can choose different variants that will change the price range from $60 to $80+.

[crimson holly]

Tiger 80 w lubed jwick blacks and durock v2 stabs

[glossy sandal]

Hey I remember you

[crimson holly]

pog

[glossy sandal]

Do you rember me

[crimson holly]

i barely remember what i ate yesterday

[glossy sandal]

crie

you had the nice setup transformation

we talked about your desk lamp and how you hold your headphones on it

[crimson holly]

yee

the hinge on it is wearing down, so im either fiddling with it to stay at a point or leaving the headset on the desk lol

[glossy sandal]

now what boards did you have, I must’ve forgotten

[blissful dragon]

hello chat

[crimson holly]

ive only had 3 actual mechanical boards

started off with a redragon k552, then a drop ctrl, now the tiger80

[glossy sandal]

huh, must’ve been something else

[blissful dragon]

ive never had a mechanical keyboard

[glossy sandal]

you had something cool, I forgot what though

[glossy sandal]

Hi Lux

[crimson holly]

dont get one advertised as gaming, even if they have fancy screns and rgb they are bad

[blissful dragon]

hi gas

[glossy sandal]

how has your drawing cats been?

[chrome mauve]

I don't think there's such a thing called gaming keyboard

[blissful dragon]

i didnt begin yet

[chrome mauve]

it's just a pcb with switches

[glossy sandal]

Wooting is coming pretty damn close

[chrome mauve]

does wooting advertise their keyboard as gaming?

[glossy sandal]

Yeah

[crimson holly]

every gaming brand would like to have a word with that, it 100% is marketing and there's no objective difference in functionality, but yeah

[glossy sandal]

Only actual keyboard branded as gaming that’ll make a difference

[crimson holly]

yeah

[chrome mauve]

it's unique for now

[glossy sandal]

anything else is negligible difference

[crimson holly]

those that say whatever whatever 8k polling rate are mostly just cpu load that wont make you better at the game

[glossy sandal]

true

anything past 1k doesn’t really matter

[crimson holly]

if you're that good that the literal hardware is slowing you down, ur on a league of ur own and dont need something thats advertised as "gaming"

[glossy sandal]

just get good

[chrome mauve]

I'm just expecting at least >250hz for modern keyboards

[glossy sandal]

Most that aren’t 1000

Are 200

afaik anyways

[chrome mauve]

500 seems plausible

[crimson holly]

im glad that gaming brands are taking design cues from enthusiast grade keyboards, because that means that just by proximity, those that dont know about the enthusiast side of things are getting a better product

but there's still a lot to go

[glossy sandal]

I’m getting tired of seeing hi-ground ads

so I’m not entirely sure I share the sentiment

[chrome mauve]

improved acoustics would be game-changing

[crimson holly]

its like, even if they're just copying designs to sell better, they're at least copying the right things that make the products better

[glossy sandal]

copying designs, that’s one thing I would really not like

[crimson holly]

a few years ago i was so tired with absolutely every brand and influencer joining in on having their own 60% gaming keyboard with cherry reds lmao

they were all the same GK/RK61 style tray mount plastic things

[glossy sandal]

just another gh60

[chrome mauve]

60% is too small

[crimson holly]

on the """"higher end""""" im still fed up with every main brand like corsair, logitech, razer, etc etc etc, having the same low profile tkl with a wrist rest and a screen

[chrome mauve]

do you guys use wrist rests

[glossy sandal]

I stopped looking at gaming boards a while ago

[glossy sandal]

No

[chrome mauve]

a lot of them look ugly

[glossy sandal]

I don’t like their price tags

[chrome mauve]

especially those with like bumpy keycaps for "grip"

[glossy sandal]

nor do I like their aesthetic

I lowkey want a fc680m

[glossy sandal]

yep, looks like gaming boards

[crimson holly]

same exposed switches, same format

[chrome mauve]

very generic

[crimson holly]

all "i want in on that"

[chrome mauve]

the keycaps look like they'd get glossy after a week

[crimson holly]

and with that gAmEr font

[glossy sandal]

I’m more annoyed of the generic small form factor custom amalgamation that smaller companies are putting out

which are just fancy tray mount 60s

[crimson holly]

mhm

im annoyed at their price

you get whats the equivalent of a bright office keyboard for the price of a full custom

[glossy sandal]

I don’t care about the price, I’m spending hundreds on rectangles

[crimson holly]

you get worse materials and construction in every possible way

[glossy sandal]

I just don’t like them

[crimson holly]

yeah

like if they were reasonably priced i wouldnt mind them

[glossy sandal]

I’ll wait for you to build one

[crimson holly]

hell my tiger 80 was probably only like 250 by the end

without the artisans and accessories*

[glossy sandal]

mine was probably 300ish

swapped switches

[blissful dragon]

building is expensive

[glossy sandal]

jwick blacks to mx blacks

[chrome mauve]

mass produced will always be cheaper

[glossy sandal]

lubed with 106 and 105

so lit

[crimson holly]

its missing a few caps, but thats a gud photo

[glossy sandal]

blanks are lit

[glossy sandal]

I’ll wait

[crimson holly]

they're not blanks xd

just black on gray

[glossy sandal]

I can’t see too well

[chrome mauve]

I should try blank keycaps

[blissful dragon]

you dont wanna wait

[glossy sandal]

I can use blanks because I don’t need to look at keys

[chrome mauve]

weird font

[crimson holly]

metal keycap pretty

[glossy sandal]

yeah you posted this in a server

[amber tartan]

meh shouldve got a series 000

[crimson holly]

yeah

[amber tartan]

its neat build

BoG reminds me of GMK stealth

which was probably my favorite set yet

[glossy sandal]

reminds me of leopold

[crimson holly]

id love to get gmk stealth or dark someday, not a priority, but it would look really good on this board

[glossy sandal]

wait are you sure this is a tiger80

[crimson holly]

close third is epbt camo

well yes

[glossy sandal]

this is not a tiger80

[amber tartan]

except gmk stealth havent even been fulfilled yet

[glossy sandal]

What is it

[amber tartan]

even though the gb ran 2 years ago

[crimson holly]

oof

[glossy sandal]

tiger80 is 7u and F13

What board is this

[crimson holly]

huh

it is 7u and f13

[glossy sandal]

what is the board in this image

[crimson holly]

OH

[glossy sandal]

the drop one?

[crimson holly]

OH I DID NOT NOTICE THATS THE WRONG ONE

lmaoooo

u right

[glossy sandal]

lol

[crimson holly]

i forgor

[glossy sandal]

forgor

[crimson holly]

yeah that's the old build, a friend has it rn, i got him hooked into custom boards with it, and sold it to him once i got my tiger80

you know what, its due an update picture, ill take a fancy one

ive been looking for new phones, my camera is kinda bad

[glossy sandal]

I’m using a 13pm right now

let me take a board picture

sorry it’s dark :3

[crimson holly]

lul

there we go

[glossy sandal]

nav cluster so lit

take off da top arrow key though

[crimson holly]

ye, im waiting to see if i can find something more appealing so i can have the print screen, scroll lock and pause replaced

in the meantime, i quite like it

[glossy sandal]

so much artisans on top row

it’s either F13 or esc for me

It’s usually f13 though, esc is overdone

[crimson holly]

yeah

f13 is a nice centered space to put something that demands attention

thats why i put the metal cap as esc, its pretty on its own, but purposefully plain and subtle

[slate ocean]

Dude really sent a pitch black photo and said sorry it's dark. Bruh turn the lights on, I wanna see it

[amber tartan]

you missed the joke

[slate ocean]

Ah my bad

[modest creek]

Bought a keeb for my sister - it arrived. She is excited to get off the logitech thing she had.

[harsh sparrow]

well that is a very nice keyboard

[chrome raft]

keycaps?

[crimson holly]

the funny thing is, those have a story, i bought them off KBDfans but apparently were from a third party seller, the listing had a generic "pbt keycap set" name, and after i bought it, the listing straight up disappeared lmao

so ive resorterd to name it "pbt nameless"

[chrome raft]

ah i see

[unkempt river]

The apple magic keyboard is truly amazing

Increased my WPM by 10 just by upgrading

[urban panther]

I can type faster on laptop style keyboards

but its certainly not as satisfying as mechanical boards

[unkempt river]

im indifferent to either

i just prefer laptop for typing

but for gaming it makes no difference to me

idk the louder precense of mechanical keyboards annoys the hell out of me'

and the red/speed switches are absolutely terrible for speed typing

[urban panther]

I've always preferred writing papers/essays on laptops

[chrome raft]

I think bananas fits in a keyboard just fine

Is there a noticeable difference between wireless keyboard and wired ones in performance? And is latency a big issue?

[glossy sandal]

I’ve heard this twice now

[unkempt river]

Bc its true

[glossy sandal]

it doesn’t prove anything but it’s weird that two people came to the same conclusion

it probably isn’t the Magic Keyboard itself, just the style of it and others like it

that being low profile

[unkempt river]

Its definitely the magic keyboard

[glossy sandal]

ok

[unkempt river]

ive tried tons of low profile keyboards, laptops etc

[glossy sandal]

idk maybe you just found something right for you

[unkempt river]

But a macbook and magic keyboard is the only keyboards I can get up to full 200 WPM typing speed

[glossy sandal]

Magic Keyboard profile is 1.0mm, too short for me

[unkempt river]

the shorter the travel the nicer it is tbh

no BS no nonsense keyboard that's just like an on off switch is perfect for speed typing

other keyboards are nice for typing feel and very satisfying to type but in the end its just sacrificing speed and efficiency for it

[glossy sandal]

it’s whatever to me, I don’t mind typing on apple magic keyboards or laptops

the travel is definitely not satisfying for me though

[unkempt river]

yeah maybe its just my need for speed

[glossy sandal]

I type QWERTY 120-130 wpm

Faster than average

I don’t need anything more

my brain doesn’t really work that fast either

[unkempt river]

I just crossed QWERTY 200 WPM i think 4 months ago

[glossy sandal]

lit

I was QWERTY 40-50 wpm before I got into keyboards so

[unkempt river]

keyboard needs to be solid thats why

[glossy sandal]

make of that what you will

[glossy sandal]

If something is comfortable I think you should be able to type on it just fine

be it shorter travel or whatever

[unkempt river]

i mean comfort cant always mean speed

im more comfortable typing on my K95 platinum

but im just way slower and it annoys me

[glossy sandal]

I can be very pedantic typing on customs, for low profile I don’t really care and use whatever

I’ve heard chocs are nice but I don’t really care to look into those

[unkempt river]

oh tbh idk anything about keyboards i just buy whatever has cherry switches

[glossy sandal]

rgb cherry is trash, nylon cherry good

[unkempt river]

welp 2 of my keyboards are rgb cherry

one of them is just normal

[glossy sandal]

rip

[unkempt river]

idk what it is

they all feel great to me though so not complaining

[glossy sandal]

all black housings are nylon

[glossy sandal]

if you like it good

[urban panther]

its definitely not the magic keyboard

just low profile laptop-style keyboards in general

easier to glide fingers across

[unkempt river]

i mean ive owned countless laptops over the past decade and none of them are as good as the magic keyboards

including the X1 Extreme i dailied for 2 years

[ivory heath]

GF is looking for WFH jobs and, despite not being a big PC person, has expressed interest in the keyboards I’ve put together so I wanted to do one for her. I just got these, and am looking for a body to match

[unkempt dome]

I've tried the magic keyboard and I really dislike it a lot ...

[chrome raft]

I just found my old razer blackwidow ultimate lol

It says 2016 edition

Except i ruined it with golden keycaps when i was 8

There's literally the H key instead of f6

And the enter key is missing

And the space bar is messed up

[hard jasper]

@cloud dove did you do tape mod

[cloud dove]

No

[hard jasper]

you should

it really matters

[cloud dove]

I need to lube it too

[hard jasper]

and did you lubes

do like lazy lube

if you are lazy for it

[cloud dove]

For this room

[hard jasper]

it looks so amazing

flip your spacebar

[cloud dove]

To red?

[hard jasper]

no flip it upside down

and but it back like that

[cloud dove]

Ahh 👍

[urban panther]

The legends aren't to my taste, but looks clean nonetheless

[hard jasper]

what are your keycaps

they look like metal

red ones

they are not though right?

or are they

[cloud dove]

Got them on Etsy, they're regular keycaps but electroplated

[hard jasper]

thats really nice

next upgrade should be the board

[cloud dove]

Plastic with electroplated coat.. only like.. ? $32 I think

[urban panther]

I got my current akko set for $30

[cloud dove]

Tape mod and lube coming soon though for sure..

I need to build another one for work

[hard jasper]

akko is really good and budget

[cloud dove]

Thats a good deal

[hard jasper]

i got jelly purples for switch

and akko keycap set too

[urban panther]

Which set is this?

[hard jasper]

https://www.amazon.ca/Akko-Double-Shot-Mechanical-Keyboards-Collection/dp/B09MQJ1YR9?th=1

price is bad i got it for like 60

[urban panther]

Those are nice

This was the set I grabbed for $30

[hard jasper]

thats pretty good

[urban panther]

I'll probably switch out the purple keycaps for more yellow at some point to see which I prefer

[sonic cape]

for any Apple TV+ keeb fans

Severance 1st episode

a must see if you love creamy mechanical keyboards with beautiful blue keycap sets

[urban panther]

The show is a must see because it's a great show

Didn't someone do a limited run of the keycaps?

[sonic cape]

Im on ep1 and I need those keycaps

Dasher novelties

it's missing the esc key in the show

[urban panther]

https://drop.com/buy/dasher-and-dancer-sa-custom-keycap-set

[sonic cape]

funny thing i instantly noticed

[glossy sandal]

Don’t buy these

They’re most likely being dropshipped, original is probably on taobao/aliexpress for 20-30$

[glossy sandal]

wtf is that

[urban panther]

https://tv.apple.com/us/show/severance/umc.cmc.1srk2goyh2q2zdxcx605w8vtx

[glossy sandal]

yeah but what do keyboards have to do with it

[urban panther]

Watch the first episode

Just do it

[glossy sandal]

I don’t have Apple TV

and I don’t like the premise of the show

[urban panther]

First episode is free

Oh

[glossy sandal]

wher

can you explain though

[urban panther]

At the link

There is a keyboard the characters use

[glossy sandal]

It’s an entire fuckinf hour

omg

[urban panther]

And has blue keycaps

Ah it's a good show

[glossy sandal]

I’ll watch it

this better be good

the keyboard*

I will cry if it’s a gk61

[urban panther]

Do you just want to see the prop?

[glossy sandal]

Kind of

[glossy sandal]

this really just throws you into the show huh

[ivory heath]

Damb

[glossy sandal]

I don’t really like this show but the soundtrack is banging

[urban panther]

It's very well made

[glossy sandal]

you’re right, those are vint boards

and with some sort of paint job

trackball boards

I’m sure mxid would know more but they’re fun to look at

[glossy sandal]

ok I got bored

nice board ig

[stray cliff]

i just bought the corsair k65 rgb mini and im now realizing why nobody likes iCue

[glossy sandal]

gamer board things

[urban panther]

[glossy sandal]

I guess a case that would fit would be any of the pastel bakeneko kits

also, monokei standard colors are lit

[glossy sandal]

It does not

[chrome raft]

Do good prebuilt keyboards with switches that thock a little exist

That don't cost 9855$

[glossy sandal]

Ok

[twilit flare]

oKAY

[glossy sandal]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=105

[chrome raft]

im hyped for the new 20% keyboards

ok im done with my funny jokes

you didnt just get muted did u

ok well i guess i wont be getting a thocky keyboard any time soon

350 cad lol

thanks for the reccomendation tho

[glossy sandal]

I’m gonna eat so much flowers

[boreal rivet]

Terminal is a data general dasher d2, the keyboard looks like a custom made prop with SA dasher and based on the original keyboard

[glossy sandal]

knew it

[glossy sandal]

mxid!!! you there?‼️

[boreal rivet]

yes?

[opaque shard]

You jest, but I'm typing on a 35% keyboard

And I love it kek

[cunning anvil]

how many keys are 35%

[amber tartan]

alphas + spacebar only usually

with some variation

[sonic cape]

extremely moist

even the switches they use in the series

are some lubed linears

sounds great with dolby atmos

[opaque shard]

I have 30 keys in total

[cunning anvil]

o nice

i thought that was 30% xp

[opaque shard]

I'm not entirely sure tbh

[amber tartan]

keys =/= percentage

its a really fucked up system

[urban panther]

Yeah it's annoying when manufacturers/retailers do that

[glossy sandal]

I uhhh

I forgor

I fell asleep

[cunning anvil]

tragic

[glossy sandal]

anyone on rn who wants to give me their impressions on f2

[gloomy patrol]
