im probably getting a derivative
ngl arc60 colors are pretty
you mean acr 60?
side is pretty
might have to pick one up
no
Nope.
oh
never heard of it
why was it by again?
man dont you have a pc build coming
vertex
if you’re not into keyboards that’s probably why
im a bit into keyboards
lots of stuff that’s going on in keyboards that no one not involved would know
i dont know a lot but i like them
like the mode envoy which is boring
good on you
arc60 which is spicy
classic tkl which is actually pretty cool
derivative cool
Kustom board for me???
maybe I buy a classic tkl as my first kustom instead of kfe ce
I am not buying a koala and still being inquisitive about other shit
I need to keep trying things
whats the difference between the v and k series
if I fall into ergo shit and ortho please put me out my misery
i wonder what i will end on
k series is wireless and older
i will kick you off the team
also no qmk/via compatibility
is v wired?
v series is wired only and newer, also qmk/via compatible
also i just realized the person i talked to the other day was the one that got bleach hacked
MorePriusPlease?
epp
okay
yea
never talked with them actually
join lightningcord
please do actually
ill be h, i only do ortho because i hate standard stagger
i have like 10 messages there
never seeing myself using a colstag or whatever the hell
I am not joining lightning cord
if I’m not in mechkeys what makes you think I’m in lightningcord
what do those two have to do with each other
totally valid. 
would a 6x19 ortho be familiar enough to a normal person to have them use i wonder
there is was
mechkeys and r/mechanicalkeyboards are two different things no?
true
12u columns for alphas and mods, 3u for nav, 4u for numpad
doubt it
I stopped reading the ortho messages
i mean not familiarly, but they have all the buttons
the grids hurt my brain
okokokok
okokokok
okokokok
okokokok
I’m giving you dunce
what was that one ortho that had standard sized mods on the sides? but like its right aligned for the left side and vice versa?
I showed you that yeah
it’s called sort
sprh*
literally the only ortho layout I like
check your roles
you fuckinf didnt
no, i hate wireless since it gives me input lag in games
fuck the lag
yeah i wanna make that but 100% now
its super annoying
honestly, lit.
I think my main gripe with ortho is the lack of bigger keys
it’s overwhelming
i feel like itd be the 100 for me
keep me posted if you go through with it
i forgot numpads even had enter
are you stupid
should i buy it from amazon or from their website?
i see numpads very rarely
either works
i mean numpads are useful for gta
fromm the website will take a bit longer because shipping from China
flying in gta with numpad is so awkward man
doesnt seem like it
Just use a controller
im used to keyboards
It’s so much easier
thats the only reason i refuse to get a controller
i might just use this stupid membrane keyboard from ibuypower until theres a sale
ugh
oh
yeah set your third person view as far away as you can though
goes a long way
perfect for dogfighting and whatnot
I hate this so much for no reason
i hate the feet
but like
why do you hate it
(4d 17h in jets)
i like the back piece
nah its not even a big curve
ion care!!
.
also two more drops confirmed

there are probably more tho
one should be feb
I need that in Qs
and then i think late march?
I don’t know my months
q1 early q2?
fym no rush id be buying 2024

uhh maybe stick with the kfe or classic then
any keyboards u guys recommend for under 100 bucks?
6.25u
im basically making something thatll just take a 100% keycap set
i want to compare something different from keychron
like a different brand
why couldn’t you scoot the keys though
which keys?
bottom row
left side mods flush with where shift starts
quirky
the what
nvm its just caps and lshift
bawling
why not make it 3 1.25 keys on the right and then allign to right shift
then from there move spacebar and left mod bottom row
not sure what you mean?
what about it?
I think the gaps might’ve looked better 
i quite like this one, its a zlant of mods
yeah that extra key on right bottom row was not doing you any favors
I wonder how iso would look like with this
do you use iso?
no, just think it would look funny
The more I look at this the more I like the gaps
the iso enter would be weird for sure lol
not sure
it would be awesome
tru
im not thinking that far ahead, im prob just gonna make that and see how it goes and how it feels firsszxt
imagine just cutting off the entire nav cluster/arrow bit
but keeping the numpad?
And just doing this
No no
No numpad
This layout
(the numpad bit, ignore the rest)
everglide and durock are basically the same brand right
i see
im thinking of changing the stabs on my poor man board to their stabs
or sp star stabs
gk61x plate mount btw
and the gateron plate mount that i use currently is kinda wonky
tx has plate mounts now
highly recommend those if they’re anything like tx pcb mount
what kinda stabs are there? plate and pcb mount?
available on divinikey if you’re in the US
gk61x so plate mount
pcb and plate mount, also could go into costar and whatnot but that’s irrelevant when talking about most mechs
i switched from the stock plate mount already, which has a super wide stem hole
mostly asking because idk what kinda stabs are for diy
the gateron reduce the rattleness, but for some reason my spacebar is mount unevenly on it and it feels mushier than the stock stabs
unless plate cutouts get super tight in the next few years I’ll stick to pcb mount
bent plate?
technically i have enough money to get a q2 barebone
but that also means i dont have any left for uni course money
could have issues if the plate isn’t completely straight
could be
the spacebar plate is seperate, but it mounts to 4 seperate standoffs and im not sure if those 4 standoff are leveled
pouring money into a gk61x doesn’t sound a very high reward thing to be doing
that way i can put a 2u diameter knob
yeah, the split space module or whatever
I had a gk, sold it
man what the hell
i know, but i live with my parents and they gonna lit my ass up when i bought another keyboard 
i could aim for the v2, but that feels like a rather small upgrade
it’s a bit of a worthwhile upgrade imo
nicer build quality and actually sounds decent stock
also qmk/via, pcb mount stabs yadayadayada
comically large knob in the funniest spot
or a trackball
replace the nav cluster with a trackball 
replace the legends with a trackball
you should see Oops! All Knobs.
glhf
sleeping?
yes
has anyone used the logitech ergo k860? im between that and mx keys mechanical
Im skeptical about Akko cs silver switches, since they said, it has a gram force of 50 and 3.3mm and its a 3 pin.
Are they even linear at this point, and i dont think it will fit on a outemu sockets.
why would it not be linear 
Yeah some of the review is making me doubt of this switches.
Also can i ask? Does Akko silver are already Factory Pre lubed?
only if you select a lubed version
does anyone know where i could get cheap all black keycaps in europe ordered ones from aliexpress gmk clones but idk if they will ever come
milky yellow
i changed to 1.5 1 1.5 mods on either side of space
instead of 1.25 x 3
also forgot the print screen/scrlck/pause cluster
so its not quite full size, but i was already done laying out the matrix so oops
can I see the layout photo
and the matrix is only a little weird!

the numpad and nav cluster are treated as a 4x6
technically i could make the matrix weirder and even fit some fun features like oled/encoder/indicator leds, but i really didnt want to route that
pretty awesome, im not into designing so I wouldn’t know how hard that is but I’m sure it’s very annoying
7u was definitely the move for this
tsangan bottom row goes so hard
yeah it fits perfectly in those mods lol
what why
24 pin limit on an elite c
i found myself running out of columns near the end
6 rows + 14 rows for tkl ish
still had 24 keys spread across like 7 columns physically

I really like how this looks actually
like a fair bit, reminds me of sprh

these are the groupings for the matrix
in other words, qk80 is thocky
pretty, very pretty
markerchun takes the best photos
You’ve been planning the shit out of this you better show us once it’s finished 
can anyone help me build a keyboard??
No
im duncing you
Why did the qk have to be good
I wish it was just another plain ahh boring foam board
If they keep stepping it up qkrisu is gonna be pure heat
Do you have enough to do pc and qkrisu this year?
It feels like everything I want is this year
Solder will bring that down too
Qk extras means I need to pay vendor shipping right?
This is like the only qk board I’d consider getting on
Atp same
I would probably be my tester board too
If I were to get one
It would be all black with marble black weight
and the paisley badge
Wait
And uh
the badges come in different colors?
Lilac or smt off the main color
Yea
show me
.
are you stupid
I am blind
:)
Its kind of like a maze or something
No
oh em gee
i used 2 of them for an encoder, dunno what to do with the last one
maybe a caps lock led
caps lock led would go hard
Good
Good until you have seen a mechanical keyboard
depends on what kind of membrane
I like how topre feels, hate how it sounds
rubber dome cheap ones are just shit
laptops keyboards and flat ones are actually really nice to me
Topre isn’t membrane though
Companies make it difficult to get keyboards with multilingual layouts 😠
(in general*)

hi gas
hi gas
im you 🤯

What keyboard that has no text or characters in its buttons
every mechanical keyboard with blank caps
What's the best silent membrane keyboard in 50$?
🐛
for a 60%?
now you get to wait till the americans wake up (? idk time zone differences) and get them to help bc i have no clue what im talking abt
Hi I’m American
honestly anything acrylic is pretty lit
leather and fiber and whatnot get kinda icky after a while
looking for something that is like pure matte lback
anything worth maybe on max gaming because amazon has like 25eur shipping for 25eur for of wrist rest
the wood ones they have should be fine
not sure how is the texture
i would get plastic if it was not hollow one
Hey so I have the Keychron V6 with Outemu blacks, with basic Amazon keycaps, I was wondering if I got these, if they would fit on it? Or do I need the low profile board and switches as well?
They’ll fit
Where can I find 96 percent layout keycaos for the gk96 it’s right m keys are weird sized
just make sure it’s compatible
it should say something like 96% in the name or description
K
I know keychron is know for their keyboards but their new mouse looks really sick on paper
It has bluetooth which is a nice feature if you need it 😄
But yeah why not, they can't keep doing all the form factors on earth for keyboards 😂
i would love it if they started to implement 2.4GHz dongle for their wireless boards
Hmm, as long as it means its keeping qmk support on wired sounds good to me
I think yeah for the general consumer it'd be a nice feature
In a perfect world we would have a standard 2.4 GHz dongle compatible with standard peripherical but without the bt protocol 
woah that looks hot
might become a keychron fanboy
it can
it splits in half or unibody in the same pcb
I'm gonna call this one Karl
Frenchie!!!
welcome back
hello
Rate my keyboard
why 5/10
I’ve seen this board like 40 times in the past month
funny because its custom
and dolch thin abs oem keycaps are not my jam
fair
what even is this
custom
a gk/sk/rk?
I also like the side print because te letters wont rub off
do you like it?
the legends won’t rub off on any decent pair of keycaps
Not for several decades anyway
they arnt very expensive
i think $20
I wore through the legends on my old crappy keyboard and made the keycaps smooth
which was horrible to type on
glad you like it 
@glossy sandal my keeb is out for delivery
I'm so excited to throw my backup back into a tote

gonna be so cursed
why do people tell me about their shipping updates
blue white and orange keycaps, milky yellows, and a cheap black keyboard
@gloomy patrol
read it rn
hah
Use a gmk67 for the base
And don’t get shit caps
They already bought everything but
i got a lk67 lol
I have everything but the keyboard
they ignored everything I said 
keyboard arrives any minute
milky yellow
might undo the stagger
yooo
putting it together rn :)
nice
67 switches and 67 keycaps so it takes a bit lol
building a keyboard seems fun
it is lol
mine cost me $94 not including keycaps
yeah thats expensive
and it isn't shit at all lol
@blissful dragon it looks really cool without switches rn
send picture
voice mini kinda cute
I don't know that should I get a 60% or a TKL
@blissful dragon EVERY KEY WORKS
probably a tkl
NICE
where picture
nice
You can get a pretty nice custom for under 150
My go to recommendation in that budget is atm pulsar pcmk + splash bros switches (if you like linear) + basically any decent pbt keycaps
i said brl
brazilian reals
reverse colstag >:D

yknow, my country has inflation
How much is that in usd then
like 200
Well you would spend 750 reals then
aint no way
🤷♂️
How is the Redragon K552 for a budget keyboard?
@glossy sandal scale of 1-10, how much do you hate it
Hm
wha
reverse column stagger to emulate splay
Hi
probably a 9
you should make the sides mods
the thumb bits
make them 1.5u or hatever
im planning on making them choc, so i dont wanna deal with tracking down bigger than 1u choc caps
6/10, setting aside how much I hate ortho
too small.!!!
Is the red a rotary encoder
seen it
ye i like mouse input on my keyboard
its a touchpad
bats
yes
you should read keyboard builder digest
its all either aligned row or bats or splits
yo that looks cookl
typesafe + joystick
keyboard is almost finished
QMK director's keyboard
:)
big circle button?
milky yellows are beautiful
i think ill do a unibody reverse colstag, no split, and an ortho splittable, no hid
wait
the middle one is a
rotary
what are they called
@glossy sandal @blissful dragon all done
low-profile EC12E2440301 rotary encoder
It’s a encoder??
@cunning anvil
did you make any changes to the sprh 100% thing
or is it the same
added stabs
but otherwise its the same
pcb mounts?
yup
#lit
still got clicky encoder and led indicator too
i still have durock v2s from a year ago
i already routed the traces twice so im afraid to change it anymore lolk
I'm planning on getting durock plate mounts :P
tx has plate mounts
200 hand placed diodes ;~;
buy those instead
no autoroute for me

lame the screw ins are way better
sounds like a nightmare
it was relaxing in a way
durock wires are so shit man
I don't have screw in support sadly
I’ve had like one set that worked as it was intended and the rest I had to keep adjusting for like hours
i feel like i wanna do the reverse colstag just to scare people
menacing
the v2s?
throw something like pbt straly or whatever the name is
rn im using the stabs that came with a $70 keyboard
yeah
so I have pretty low expectations
nothing but bad experiences with durock stabs
the colors are cool but I just use cherry clip ins or tx for builds now
are cherry clip ins good?
staebies are finnicky and owlstavs scare me
tx on top
does anyone want a soundtest :P
DOES ANYONE WANT A SOUNDTEST
NO
there
No
No thanks
I’m fine, keep asking
no, it’s okay.
glarses made another discord this time patron only LOL!
all discord keyboards suck ass
TRUE
amen
I’m in a couple vendor servers
just to keep up with stock and drops and whatnot
I talk here and like 3 other places about keyboards
im only in the one i bought my board from and daily clack
yes fuck u
nice
Society
You sure?
@blissful dragon
the back looks way sexier though
@blissful dragon want a sound test?
i want hexagon keys ;~;
yes
Okay I will when I get back on my pc lol
I’ll type out the entirety of the fitness gram pacer test
Or at least some of it
lame, i have a mirror polish of harbour view of hk in the back
the yoinky sploinky
@glossy sandal my fingers happened
That is milk
I didn’t bother to clean it
I just did ok
You’re welcome

youre horrible youre a irredeemable monster
No u
@glossy sandal I let my mom try my keyboard and now she wants me to build her one
She wants to bring it to her work
lol my sister wants me to build her one
her requirements: pink, full size, RGB
I wish someone wanted me to build them a keeb
Let your parents try yours then
@gloomy patrol hi :3
Is Astro liked here
No that’s just the person in this server I hate most
start a keeb buildin bizz
I’ve built like 20-30 keyboards for friends
most of them are cheap barebones
most recent nicer one was a sequence, is good board.
like lightning keyboard
oh em gee
That’s cool
sabotage the keyboard so they start buying more from you
and then maybe build a nice one for them that you didnt sabotage so they fall into the hole
@blissful dragon @safe abyss @chrome raft
so evil
sound test 
devious thought patterns
just buy them a leopold and pat them on the back :)
maybe they dont like tacts then what
leopolds come in mechanical
who buys a leopold to get the mechanical versions
Me
youre an outlier
@glossy sandal now time to get alpacas
I’m just a teenage dirtbag
lmfao
smells like teen spirit
smells like vocaloid
why would you do that
yuck!
actually not that expensive
do whatever you want
if you keep throwing switch names at me it won’t amount to much
duckies
gateron reds
quality taiwanese product
cherry speed silvers
i used to live near their HQ
please do get the nylon version
i never said hi though :/
cherry rgb sucks!!!1!1!
eh
b-but gamer!
ima get these I think https://www.amazon.com/Akko-Double-Shot-Mechanical-Keyboards-Collection/dp/B09RWQJPBT/ref=sr_1_7?
Ok
do you approve of them
would you buy if you were going for that aesthetic
wagabagabobo
kobeni pfp!!
maybe your audio sucks
pop music is not very good
or you have bad taste
^ this most likely
leaning towards the latter
music that i used to like, on the same headphones, just isn't hitting the same
tastes/preferences change over time
your ears are like tastebuds, they change every 14 years
your taste changed
I made it up
FROM A DAY AGO?!
music does not hit the same anymore
yeah
not even, like 10 hours ago
go listen to bossa nova
fuck that
fuck bossa nova tbh
I'll blast it
I would fuck bossa nova
coffee jazz is shit
bossa nova fucks so hard
listen to real jazz dick
No
coward
I would not like to listen to people dying on brass instruments
heavy and intense brass scares me
i fucking love brass
I like heavy metal
have you even seen whiplash
brass just sings in my headphones
Hell nah
btw this is my music taste https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XJIyGKcPnp8OjK0NKdhhZ?si=c211b28f080e4ad9

2 couches formed to make a giant couch
what the fuck

ok
He still knows what
massive U shaped couch. it was amazing
97% of the people I meet
A couple dozen million people?
