[robust hemlock]

but for the non-super sweaty gamer is it an issue?

like we talking G305 double clicking level issues? because I hardly notice that but I it has occurred to me over time

[muted karma]

worse

[muted karma]

yes

like pulsar tells you to just put on 20ms of debounce

and only if it still doubleclicks will they send you a replacement

[robust hemlock]

but doesnt the XD7 have the same switches?

[muted karma]

new ones don't

also for fantech ik the support will actually replace your mouse if you have unreasonable issues with it

[robust hemlock]

says on amazon Kaihl GM8.0

[muted karma]

yea is not up to date anymore

new models swapped to a gold plated switch

which doesn't have the same issue

you could of course solder in a different one yourself

[robust hemlock]

casually thinks I have a soldering iron or the time to bother

[muted karma]

yea I know why I didn't immediatley recommend it

mouse switches are not the easiest thing to desolder usually

you also could go the memier route
https://mechkeys.com/products/zaopin-z1-pro-3395-mouse

but I sure hope you like a white mouse

https://mechkeys.com/products/zaopin-z1-wireless-mouse

actually reg z1 should be fine as well

only oddity on that is that the charge port is at the back

don't ask me why

just is

[muted karma]

non pro one specifically

[robust hemlock]

Leaning towards MM712 after so more thinking about what I want. The performance issues were mostly fixed in a firmware update awhile ago.

so it should be fine

[muted karma]

I'd be careful about that

cooler master likes to "fix" things

but then either not fixing them

or making them worse

[robust hemlock]

Its fixed

also theres a $10 coupon right now so its only $57

[tame arrow]

My keyboard won’t work and idk why?

Oh, and the trackpad

[maiden thunder]

why is keychron horrible for gaming again?

[robust hemlock]

latency is fairly high

but I don't think for most people its high enough to matter

[muted karma]

according to rtings (take it with a grain of salt) 11.1ms

so not good

but also not horrible

doubt it will matter unless you are like top single digit player in a comp game

esp since it is typically much less critical on a keyboard

if you wanna minmax you can only pick soemthing with good rapid trigger anyways

since that shits on the whole competition for repeated presses

too bad you can't really test that well

[robust hemlock]

people who spam crouch in FPS are the worst and i hate it

[muted karma]

it's not just for crouch

like in valorant for example you want the ability to spam strafe

and in general you want the keyboard to react quickly to what you are doing

which rapid trigger is just better at

so you get 4 options atm

wooting, razer analog, drunkdeer, the new realforce gaming board

out of those the first 2 are a cut above the latter 2 in implementation

[maiden thunder]

what abt the Z15 he sent me?

and btw which wooting/razer analog/drunkdeer/realforce keyboards

[muted karma]

does not have rapid trigger

[robust hemlock]

never said it was

[maiden thunder]

bro warum schreiben wir hier

[muted karma]

idk

[robust hemlock]

Anyone got any thoughts on CoolerMaster MM712 or Keychron M3? Looking at affordable replacements for a dying G305. Mainly for FPS, Claw Grip, USB C Rechargeable, and lightweight.

[worn panther]

Brother what

I have played a ton of competitive on my v1 before I upgraded

11ms latency is not that much, y’all ain’t shroud

[magic wolf]

lmfao reading this and realizing we all started on, craptop keyboards or the PC bundled membrane and gamed at our peak

[neon plume]

I’m going to buy a £20 Mechanical keyboard from Temu, I just thought I’d let you keyboard people know to piss you off

[opaque shard]

I'm not pissed off

Cheap is good

[crimson flint]

wooting 60he ( i think ) is the keyboard that support rapid trigger

[urban panther]

Not against cheap, but I am against manufactured ewaste

Let us know if it's usable or if it's manufactured ewaste

[neon plume]

I can send a link if you want

[urban panther]

I'm good

No desire to shop from temu/wish

[neon plume]

I haven’t ordered it yet so before I do, do you have any recommendations

[glossy sandal]

🔥

[worn panther]

nah temu 100% legit I just bought my whole setup off temu

4090 reaches 200 degrees as the power supply explodes

[neon plume]

I checked they don’t sell gpus

[radiant lodge]

temu is currently under investigation by the us government lmfao

[wild star]

speaking of realforce, surprised shortcircuit hasn't done a video on electrocapacitive keyboards yet? or have they?

[muted karma]

they don't really sell in NA or EU

so basically irrelevant for LTT viewers

[wild star]

false?

[muted karma]

their main market ist japan

[wild star]

but it's readily available in NA and EU

[muted karma]

they don't even have retailers lol

EU still has not gotten the R3 entirely

wowee

so many western retailers

[wild star]

realforce ain't the only electrocapacitive keyboard maker

leopold

fujitsu

fujitsu actively promotes hhkb in NA

[muted karma]

realforce = pfu = fujitsu

[wild star]

yea, forgot about that

[muted karma]

also all of them still made by the same company

[wild star]

and this doesn't really have any relevance to videos they put out

[muted karma]

it does though

short circuit is purely for marketing purposes

[wild star]

agree to disagree I guess

[muted karma]

bruh it's literally an unboxing channel

[wild star]

that was the original purpose, yes

but even linus has said it has become more than that on a few occasions

[muted karma]

leopold has some retailers but the larger ones all don't have stock of their topre boards

[muted karma]

for keyboards that is really what they are

if not it is a really bad review channel

sicne plouffe does not seem especially well prepared for any of them

so it still is just unboxing + first impressions

and then possibly plouffe not figuring out how software works etc

as for other EC boards

also don't think that niz sells in the west directly?

[wild star]

🤷‍♂️ just thought it'd make for interesting content. maybe not necessarily for shortcircuit.

plouffe seems to be improving his knowledge? sometimes I'm not sure though

[boreal rivet]

Plouffe is a dead end

But the techbros love him so I don’t think he’ll bother brushing up on his knowledge anytime soon

They relate to the dude I suppose

[urban panther]

huh

[boreal rivet]

dude has nothing to contribute to ltt

[urban panther]

I think he's done some monitor content thats alright

[boreal rivet]

mehh

[wild star]

oof. I don't agree with a lot of his keyboard takes but that's a hard disagree from me.

especially considering his main job is a writer

[urban panther]

https://www.lemokey.com/pages/lemokey-l3

hmmmm

keychron has a new sub-brand

[worn panther]

weird

[urban panther]

I keep thinking it's Lemonkey

[tepid jungle]

Can someone recommend me a good wireless keyboard for the rog ally? Like a smaller factor one

[urban panther]

Do you want it for basic text input?

[amber tartan]

like a bluetooth 65%?

[urban panther]

I have a Logitech k380 Bluetooth keyboard that I use for tablets and such

[amber tartan]

also i just realised the tiger 80 lite only has a pc plate

[tepid jungle]

yeah i think of getting that one actually

will it do the jon for games

[urban panther]

It's a Bluetooth membrane keyboard

For casual gaming it's fine

[gloomy patrol]

this one

[urban panther]

MacBook

Lol new ones

M1

[serene obsidian]

I need a second one, mine's the fluorescent orange one and I don't really like being out and about with it.

[urban panther]

Tell me more about this mom

[serene obsidian]

When I get a better job I want an M1 Air

Or M2

[jagged plover]

Be real with me is this way to much foam

[amber tartan]

no

its too little actually i think

with it being so thin

but i wouldnt know

[cursive jetty]

Hey! I’m trying to find a reasonable keyboard for gaming and also typing use, these two I’ve been eyeing for awhile, I live in Canada (BC) so it’s kinda hard to find good keyboards. If anyone has any other suggestions for this price range or which they think will be better would help greatly

[cursive jetty]

Additionally, I want a keyboard with thockier switches, (browns and other stuff like that)

[sick geyser]

I'm currently using a blackwidow v2, and im needing an upgrade as my "S" key and a few others are on the fritz. I was leaning towards the huntsman v2 tkl, (I have a razer mouse so I already am locked onto their software). Anyone using the huntsman or can recomend an alternative?

[amber tartan]

personally i would gladly pay any amount of money to not use their software, but if you have to, sure

[sick geyser]

I suppose I don't HAVE to, but with using a wireless mouse of theirs, I kinda feel stuck. I personally have never had any issues with the software or their products.... luckily

[muted karma]

you know you could just get a keyboard that doesn't need a software to be installed?

[amber tartan]

wow who couldve thought about that

[sick geyser]

What would you recomend, strictly for gaming btw. I hardly use my pc for anything else these days.

Budget is $250 and under

[amber tartan]

probably like an akko or keychron to start with

[sick geyser]

I was looking at the q6 actually

By Keychron

[amber tartan]

yeah nefty board there

[sick geyser]

I've been doing my research, its just, I'm going off "reviewers", not people who actually use them daily lol

[junior condor]

Ok so I'm trying to tape mod but one of the screws are stripped to get in is there anyway I can get in

[sick geyser]

@junior condor do you have a tiny screwdriver you don't care too much about?

I was able to get some stripped one out by adding a tiny amount of superglue to the screw and attaching the screwdriver, letting it dry, then slowly twisting it out.

You can also try a rubber band

[junior condor]

yea that didnt work

[junior condor]

oh?

Holly I didn't even realize mine is this bad

Is that like too far gone

[sleek bronze]

Yes looks like it

Just rip it apart

[unkempt dome]

Drill it

[cunning anvil]

use your teeth

[sick geyser]

Yeah, you might need to drill it. I had an old screwdriver, so I just laid down some super glue, stuck the screwdriver onto it, then twisted and it worked. You might kinda ruin it though if you can't get it off the driverm

I also can confirm using teeth works

[tawdry iris]

hallo

[neon plume]

What colour switch is the best

[unkempt dome]

It's preference ... there's no best

[urban panther]

browns

[muted karma]

black

[sleek bronze]

choc pink

no debate

[opaque shard]

I raise you a Choc Mini Black with custom 20gf springs.

[glossy sandal]

blac

black

[junior condor]

Wut

[junior condor]

What 😭

[dawn swan]

browns are the worst cherry brand switch ive ever used

by far

highest failure rate in terms of contacts wearing out and chattering and then also unpleasant to type on

atleast the click jacket cherry switches have some amount of tactile feedback and are less prone to contact bouncing falling outside the debounce window after only months of use

anything that does not have a 5-10ms debounce window on it in firmware will shit the bed after browns start to wear

double and triple typing characters in words

blue/green switches actually felt crisp to type on with feedback and then browns felt like a tiny bump like there was gum stuck to the side of the switch stem or something

would rather use linear at that point

[gloomy patrol]

browns gud

[dawn swan]

worst part about it is that its one of the most used switches in cheaper keyboards and low end gaming keyboards as an option since they only offer red/blue/brown/silver

their "only" option for tactile unless they get a hotswap and replace every switch or desolder it

or go custom

if the only tactile switch 90% of people have ever used is browns then ofcourse they think its great until they use something better

[gloomy patrol]

i like browns

[junior condor]

It's like bouncy

Is there anything else I can do

[pseudo owl]

Bro that screw 😭 did it owe you money or what

[neon plume]

💀

[junior condor]

it came stripped already and i madew it worse 😭

[neon plume]

Is the keyboard hot swappable?

[pseudo owl]

You tried using a rubber band and a screwdriver to unscrew it?

Or not

That’s like the first thing I’d try

[neon plume]

I would try removing the adjacent switches and using pliers to twist the screw out

[junior condor]

yea

[junior condor]

yea

[junior condor]

i tried to brah

idfk im doing it wrong or what

[fervent dragon]

Which is more prefered: wireless or wired?

[amber tartan]

personally i wouldnt mind wired

for a keyboard i think it should be a non issue unlike a mouse which moves around a lot

[maiden thunder]

Can anyone recommend a decent handrest? Just saw that the keychron V6 doesnt have one :,)

[amber tartan]

depends if you like soft ones or hard ones

[gloomy patrol]

wired

qmk good

[junior condor]

do you guys think i can use a easy out tool

[west minnow]

Guys i have blue switches 🥲

[smoky comet]

only this community would manage to strip a pcb bolt

its hand tight with a screwdriver

not to be used with a drill

[amber tartan]

i have one of those electric screwdrivers, its plenty enough

i think i saw one of those from :3ildcat

[prime path]

The wowstick?

[onyx summit]

Hi gas

[amber tartan]

yep

its got the power of a drill but compact like a screwdriver

[glossy sandal]

hi

[boreal rivet]

to be fair those screws are always dogshit and strip at the lightest touch

[cunning anvil]

keymap i think Imma switch to

note: non legends autoshift and extra gaming layers not depicted

[deep forum]

Hey guys, I'm trying to choose between 2 somewhat budget, roughly equal in price keyboards from Tecware. The Tecware B68+ and the Phantom+ Elite. The 68+ is a 68% keyb while the phantom+ elite is a TKL

I'm interested in them because 1) they're cheap, 2) they are hotswap switches and 3) they have wired, Bt and 2.4G wireless connection modes

I just want the quietest possible keyboard and I've tested both IRL and they're really quiet, although not as quiet as the FirstPlayer Lang MK980, but that's a 98 key and wired keyboard

[chrome raft]

Personally, I prefer the TKL layout. I find myself constantly needing to use the FN key for a few things I do frequently with the one board I have that is a 75% layout. However, the 68+ comes with better switches IMO. I haven't used Wraith switches a ton, but the Gats just feel and sound better to me. Switches are hot swappable so you can change them, but then you have to look at whether the additional cost is worth it.

[eternal berry]

hi
what's your recommendation on a good keyboard under 80$

[deep forum]

Yeah, the FN row is definitely something that I use pretty often, especially with DCS. I probably won't swap the switches out immediately, I haven't found one I really like but I read about these haimu heartbeat switches, but idk where to buy them and they're pretty expensive when I consider shipping

[chrome raft]

Cannon Keys has them for about $11 for 36. Not too bad. They are also factory lubed so that saves you a lot of work. I'm not a bid fan of linear, but if you are looking for good factory lubed budget switches you can look at something like Akko Cream Yellow Pros. $11 for 45 at Divinikey.

[deep forum]

Do they ship to malaysia?

[chrome raft]

Not sure on that but if so I doubt the freight will be good

[deep forum]

That's true

Have you tried Wuque WS silent?

[neon plume]

Keychron k1

[cunning anvil]

keyboard

[glossy sandal]

hello

[cunning anvil]

hi gas

i got vial flashed, waiting on case and switches

shit i need screws

but should be able to get a build pic in a few days

prob gonna program the keymap in the meantime

my keymap is gonna be like 13 layers holy shit

[glossy sandal]

for what purpose???

how many layers do you need what da halle

[cunning anvil]

7 in pic

1 qwerty for casuals

1 fps/generic gaming

3 for Diablo 2

and one for switching modes

might need to make a macro pad just for gaming

lol

[short summit]

Hi folks, I need some advice... I have myself a Keychron Q6. Great board. Only thing is, I'm in the UK and they use SFF RGB. Trying to find some decent PBT doubleshot caps to use with this keyboard is literally impossible (I've tried everywhere), so I'm thinking of getting rid for a new keyboard.. thing is I can't seem to find any that are UK-ISO and of as high quality as this.. Any ideas for a solution to either?

I should add I would highly prefer it to come with tactile switches, but I can can always replace them if needed....

[timber bay]

Are there any aluminum keyboard kits or keyboards for $100?

[amber tartan]

bakeneko?

[autumn agate]

Monsgeek m series

And like molly 60

The kit itself is 100 usd for both I think but like shipping and taxes

Molly 60
Is group buy

[wild star]

what does sff rgb have to do with your request? are you trying to find doubeshot shinethrough keycaps?

[mossy nimbus]

Is that the real tres

[short summit]

Doubleshot PBT but have south facing legends, as almost all keycaps are north facing... and must be UK-ISO. I'm definitely thinking I'll need a different board as most are north facing. It's quite frustrating really.

[wild star]

have you tried shinethrough keycaps?

it won't matter where the legends are if they aren't shinethrough

and shinethrough keycaps will be just fine regardless of the legend and rgb placement

[muted karma]

ngl I would not get an alu kit for that money

unless you order from taobao

[cunning anvil]

hey @glossy sandal should i make a 40 version of the ortho 100 lol

where it accepts base kit

[chilly perch]

that is not true

If the LED is not directly below the transparent plastic you get the most wimp ass shine thru you've ever seen

source: my keychron

[chilly perch]

I can't vouch for this product but maybe a sidelit set will be easier to find, like this one
https://a.co/d/7HTTg6z

[wild star]

gotcha. Maybe there's a difference between clear double layer and frosted double layer. I assumed for frosted, it would diffuse the light well enough.

[chilly perch]

mm

I am not sure what the difference between those two are

[timber bay]

How is this so cheap?

[wild star]

could only find chinese review videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqd2_2kzt-g

can't really tell from the quality of the video but it seems like the machine and/or coating quality isn't great

[timber bay]

Same

[wild star]

but seems fine for $70

I'd trust monsgeek more though

[timber bay]

I'm not buying it just curious

[urban panther]

with that price you probably don't wanna see the working conditions of the factory it's produced in

[timber bay]

Fr 💀

[graceful fractal]

Anyone here

[urban panther]

Sup

[graceful fractal]

Ah! Can you help me decide on a keyboard

It's my first mechanical keyboard and I'm over the fence

https://amzn.eu/d/d0BufOP

https://amzn.eu/d/2EGdCDK

They both cost almost the same

[urban panther]

What's the prices in USD?

[graceful fractal]

60

Both of em

[urban panther]

The cosmic has otemu blue switches, which I would personally not want to use

I prefer the layout of the cosmic, but the switches of the red dragon

[graceful fractal]

I can swap the switches on Cosmic Byte

Keeping switches aside, which one should I go for

[urban panther]

Yeah it just sucks to have to also buy some switches

So the red dragon has 2.4GHz RF wireless

How important is wireless to you

[graceful fractal]

A little bit

[urban panther]

I wouldn't use Bluetooth for gaming, personally, and the cosmic only has Bluetooth wireless

I think the red dragon is a better out of the box package

I would absolutely replace the switches on the cosmic, which makes it more expensive

[graceful fractal]

Hardly I think hold on

Yeah I get 60 new switches for 8-12 dollars

[urban panther]

So your budget is really $60 +$10

What can you get at the $70 price point?

[graceful fractal]

Out here? These 2

[urban panther]

That's it?

[graceful fractal]

Yep

Rest are either off brands

[urban panther]

I mean

[graceful fractal]

Or too expensive

[urban panther]

These are kinda off brands

If you don't mind replacing the switches, I like a knob, and the cosmic has a knob.

But I still think the red dragon is the better out of the box experience

[graceful fractal]

Trust me. These are like Corsair and Logitech here

[urban panther]

What about wired only barebones boards

Do those exist in your region

[graceful fractal]

Give me an example

I'm not familiar with the majority of keyboard terminology

[urban panther]

A keyboard without switches or keycaps

[graceful fractal]

Nope

Those cost like 120$$

Starting**

[urban panther]

Damn

[graceful fractal]

Oh wait no

They cost **** 300

USD

[urban panther]

Are you sure

[graceful fractal]

Yes

[urban panther]

Well, I already said my thoughts

[urban panther]

Sheesh

[graceful fractal]

We got that nice 200% tax on PC parts and accessories if imported

[urban panther]

Wtf

[graceful fractal]

Yep Wtf is right

3060 costed me 405 USD at MSRP

[urban panther]

Got my A750 for $199

[graceful fractal]

😑

I Really Hate my country for this

They also started Banning Steam recently

I guess it's time to leave

[urban panther]

Lmao

[graceful fractal]

Cos the TRADING section is considered "Betting"

[urban panther]

[graceful fractal]

Since I don't hate Blue switches ' Click, is comsic byte fine

[urban panther]

The trading section is cringe but banning steam over it seems a little extreme

[graceful fractal]

I already use Blue Otemu

[graceful fractal]

Also, steam promotes self harm somehow

[urban panther]

I'm so sorry

[graceful fractal]

Hahaha. No I like the clicky loud obnoxious aounds

Sounds

Cos I suck at typing unless I'm SURE I pressed the key without looking down

@urban panther What about aesthetics

[urban panther]

What's wrong with your current board

[graceful fractal]

What fits better here

[urban panther]

The red dragon is ugly as fuck

[graceful fractal]

Sometimes keys register twice on 1 click and sometimes don't register

[urban panther]

Don't spill shit on the new board

[graceful fractal]

Oh well, there we go 🤣

[graceful fractal]

Dude I never spilled anything

[urban panther]

Uh huh

[graceful fractal]

I use blower on my PC every Week

To keep it clean

And use tooth brush to clean keyboard every 2 weeks

Don't eat on PC desk

Wash my hands

[urban panther]

Yeah but it's not my desk and not my money. My aesthetic preferences aren't a concern here

[graceful fractal]

I'm a germophobe

[graceful fractal]

I showed you my setup. What's more pleasing in this setup

[urban panther]

Apple magic keyboard

[graceful fractal]

Ahahahaha no

I mean between these two

[urban panther]

Why do you want me to make the decision

[graceful fractal]

Cos I literally can't decide

And you seem experienced veteran

[urban panther]

Yo you already decided

You clearly want the cosmic or whatever it's called, but you also want validation

Don't seek validation. Just buy whichever you like more

[graceful fractal]

You didn't have to call me out like that

👁️👄👁️

Even I didn't realise but that's 100% true

[urban panther]

I tell it how I see it

[lost wren]

The contrast of colors between your Dualsense and the mousemat beneath it.

[graceful fractal]

I meant among the 2 keyboard I provided which one would fit in my set up

[lost wren]

I wanna say the Cosmic Byte, but then... Hmm...

[graceful fractal]

Just pick one

Since I can't make up my mind, you need to make up yours

[urban panther]

Oh my God

We're still on this?

Get a keychron q1 pro

[graceful fractal]

Nah. I'm jk. I ordered the cosmic one

[graceful fractal]

Shit costs 3 Times 💀

@urban panther Does i5-12400 Bottleneck 3060 (12GB)?

[urban panther]

Sell the 3060 and get arc

[lost wren]

Lmao.

[fervent quiver]

Does anybody know how to disable macro ?
I guess i somehow enabled macro on my keyboard and now its irritating

I am pressing "W" its enabling caps lock
Pressing win key opening mail and more telll mr eht to do
Keyboard: Cosmic byte cb-gk-02

[chrome raft]

Idk much about keyboards is $50 good for double shot keycaps, per key rgb, hot swappable blue outemus, and a 80% layout

[wild star]

maybe cb-gk-12 manual would help? https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NI+xdQKML.pdf

couldn't find one for your specific model

[fervent quiver]

I will try it thnx for taking time

[wet breach]

Hey All,
Keyboard Recommendations needed

Looking for similar aesthetic to Ducky One Mini. (White pref)
Wireless wanted
Needs to be full OR can be TKL w/ Num pad separately

Transitioning to a Work from home situation and my current Mini keyboard wont cut it for work related stuff.

[sick geyser]

I used to hate the idea of tkl, now it's all I ever use.

So much more real-estate

[cunning anvil]

40%

[amber tartan]

45%*

[cunning anvil]

35%

[urban panther]

'tis the best

okay 75% is fine too

[knotty burrow]

65% is my go to now

Kinda miss my f-row sometimes depending on what I'm playing

[chilly perch]

I feel like you should either have a full sized kb, like I use for work. Or the absolute smallest you can go while functioning in your games

[urban panther]

eh

I fail to see the point in losing the F row

It's useful for everyday computing and I don't put my mouse behind my keyboard

[glossy sandal]

how are the switches

[chrome raft]

[waxen oracle]

Does anyone know of a QMK keyboard that has the same layout as the K4

[amber tartan]

its called a compact 1800

or just 1800

[muted karma]

that's 96%

not 1800

[muted karma]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/custom-keyboards/products/keychron-v5-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard is this too far off for you?

[waxen oracle]

I saw the V5 but I wish it was just as compact as the K4 I thought about a TKL and then just getting a seperate keypad for the left side

[harsh basin]

anyone knows where to get localized pbt keycap sets ?

i can basically only find either abs AZERTY or pbt QWERTY

[cunning anvil]

what is the difference between the two? I've heard them used interchangeably

[muted karma]

96 specifically is not exploded

like the one in that image

1800 is more like the one I sent in

with blockers between alpha cluster, arrows, numpad, f keys etc

for reference an original g80-1800

[cunning anvil]

neat

caps and screws arriving tomorrow I'm so excited

[muted karma]

there are variations of it like 1800compact/frl 1800

[cunning anvil]

f row less?

cute

southpaw 96 sounds funny

[chrome raft]

Hello I have reddragon shadow blade mechanical keyboard but it's keys are automatically triggering while clicking one key

Any solution to solve this problem and can anyone suggest a new low budget hot swappable mechanical keyboard

[wild star]

can you be more specific? which key triggers others?

and is there a pattern? like does it trigger other keys in that column or row?

[chrome raft]

It started with numpad 1=m 2=j 3 = i

But now random c v press from 1234 row (non numpad)

[vague fossil]

my keys randomly spam at any moment ,,,, making it impossibleee to do much

broke// short circuited??

[amber tartan]

Any good deal on amazon.nl you can suggest below 50 euro

[noble lantern]

can any1 help my huntsman mini isn't working when I try to type

[amber tartan]

is it plugged in

[placid lantern]

ive been told that the gmmk pro isnt a good board for 108 bucks but i cant seem to find any other aluminum case boards for that price on amazon at least

does anyone know of any other options or is that a good buy

[amber tartan]

bakeneko?

its not on amazon

well depends what you want

[placid lantern]

looking for a metal case prefferably wireless 75% keyboard

or well i suppose i could go with my first choice from a while back of the akko 5075b plus

its not metal but it fits what i need and is only 100

[muted karma]

Once built the keychron q 1 is still cheaper than the gmmk pro

[amber sage]

i need a new keyboard, sadly my budget is only 40 bucks. Any good ones?

[robust hemlock]

Red dragon I think has some okay options

Maybe some no name stuff too

[chrome raft]

gk61 hotswap base of ali express for 20, a set of keycaps, switches for under 20
i’ll send links

[amber tartan]

lol feker pandas

[chrome raft]

hm

feker?

it’s just to show

[amber tartan]

fake pandas essentially but theyre just a different switch entirely

[chrome raft]

it’s hotswap so you could get any switch just make sure the pins align

[amber tartan]

theyre pretty good actually

[chrome raft]

hm

i would’ve bought them but i sold my custom gk

[amber tartan]

give them a try

ive decided to just mod my old ducky board

im also debating if i should mil-max it

[chrome raft]

im gonna buy gk

off aliexpress and make a vid about it

[fresh parrot]

Got a bit of an emergency situation, bought a keychron q4 a few months back (feb) and have experienced multiple keycaps breaking. Doing some research into it it looks like there's some QC problems with their caps.

My LShift just broke, and obviously that's the last key you want to break. I need some replacement caps ASAP (preferrably from amazon so I can do next day shipping), recommendations?

I'm particuarlly interested in steelseries prism but I'm not sure if they're any good, ik steelseries is a great brand but wanted an opinion first before buying

[fresh parrot]

Crisis averted: Found an old keyboard I can use for the time being.

That being said, recommendations on custom caps? No longer needs to be from amazon

[muted karma]

just ask keychron for replacements

[dawn swan]

solution: dont buy keychron

[fresh parrot]

And have them break again?

[fresh parrot]

I love literally everything about the board, I just want new keycaps

[muted karma]

have not heard of issues from many people so you might just have gotten a bad batch one

[fresh parrot]

I found a reddit tread (link incoming) about several people having the same issues I've had from about 2 months ago

[muted karma]

I mean it is worth giving that a try

if they break again maybe look for alternatives

[fresh parrot]

I already contacted them for replacements and it's taken like two weeks, still no caps

[muted karma]

oof

[fresh parrot]

I got fed up when LShift broke, like you literally NEED that key

[dawn swan]

any generic 25 or 30 dollar PBT set from amazon would be better

[muted karma]

trust me I have seen way worse

some shitty PBT dyesubs won't be better

[fresh parrot]

I want Pudding keys ngl, those look sick and tickle my RGB spot

[muted karma]

but I don't know your budget, colorscheme you want etc

pudding caps are alls bad quality

[fresh parrot]

F

[muted karma]

and all come from the same 2-3 factories

[fresh parrot]

They do look cool though

Regardless

Budget $75, color scheme is preferrably warm grey with accent mod keys (something that'll go nice against silver metal)

[muted karma]

I mean beige always works

[fresh parrot]

Beige would legit work here XD

No black or white though

Black mod keys might look nice though

[muted karma]

https://novelkeys.com/collections/dyesub-pbt/products/cherry-stone

[fresh parrot]

Preferrably cherry profile

[muted karma]

maybe?

[fresh parrot]

Eh, not a fan of that color

[muted karma]

fair

[fresh parrot]

I don't like those colors on the esc/spacebar/enter either

[muted karma]

are you in the US?

[fresh parrot]

I am

[muted karma]

so I know what vendors to look for

ok

just fyi so you know what I mean when I say "beige"

[fresh parrot]

Tjat'

That'd be acceptable

[muted karma]

those are fairly easy to get for 25-50 bucks

in good quality

[dawn swan]

https://www.amazon.com/YMDK-Switches-Mechanical-Keyboard（Only-Keycap）（Wild/dp/B09Y2SNY46/?th=1

[fresh parrot]

I can use the rest of that budget for some good mod keys too

I'll probably get an artisan ESC too lol

[muted karma]

bruh why are they all preoccupied with weird versions

[fresh parrot]

👀

[dawn swan]

that set is oem not cherry but it was high quality when i used it on a previous keyboard

[muted karma]

that is like the second worst set of doubleshots I have seen

and the other one was 10 bucks on aliexpress

[dawn swan]

was higher quality than a vortex PBT doubleshot set i used a while ago

complete shit with LED bleeding through around the legends and weak plastic

[fresh parrot]

@muted karma to give you an idea for color scheme this is currently doing things for me XD

[muted karma]

I mean for 80 bucks you can get that with some decent quality

https://dangkeebs.com/products/pbtfans-dolch

[fresh parrot]

I can live with $80

[muted karma]

and support keys that would be able to use them on a 65% etc

[fresh parrot]

Base set includes everything?

[muted karma]

base set is this

[fresh parrot]

I've got a TKL so not a problem

Okay that's perfect

oooh and Mac keys

Thanks a ton, I'll be buying that

[cunning anvil]

where ups with my key caps bleh

[fresh parrot]

On its way, thanks again @muted karma

(I'll be sure to send pictures once the keys are installed lol)

[tired copper]

Thoughts on this keyboard?

AJAZZ AK873-75% Wired Gaming Keyboard with Coiled Usb C Cable-Hot Swappable Red Switch Mechanical Keyboard-LIGHTSYNC RGB TKL 80% Compact 87 Keys PBT Keycaps-Detachable Magnetic Upper Cover for PC/Mac https://amzn.eu/d/g7uPkfJ

Was planning on getting it before prime day ends

But not sure if I should get or if there is better for same price

I mainly like 75% as 60 feels to small but can compromise on a 60 if its that good

[chrome ocean]

What's the difference between keychron v series and k series?

[unkempt dome]

Hello

[fresh parrot]

They're very similar, K isn't programmable, and hot swapping is optional

V is like the plastic version of the Q line, programmable + hot swappable

Plus a transparent case option

V only comes with Keychron's in-house switches

K comes with Gaterons

(K also has an option for an aluminum case)

[chrome ocean]

thanks!

[river badger]

what are some decent options for a under $100 75% keyboard with media keys.

[hard bobcat]

what is a good mechanical keyboard to get for a new pc. something that is budget friendly but is also not to cheap. im thinking with brown switches. any recommendations?

i was thinking keychron but i wasnt sure

[glossy sandal]

would a knob suffice?

[river badger]

as long as the knob lets me skip songs

i never adjust windows volume so volume control is not as important as skipping, pausing, and going back

[glossy sandal]

keychron v1 then

knob version should be around 94$

you can remap it for media skip/back pause/play

[river badger]

neat, thanks

Keyboard noob just want to check out what's out there, what keyboards are you guys buying this prime? I'm from Canada so probably can't get the US deals

I press "P" open closed bracket gets pressed too. I press "O" P gets pressed as well. I press win key mail opens and more .) keyboard is like ~2 yrs old. Is it time to replace?
CB-GK-08

[glossy sandal]

I’m sorry but this looks like monokai material at home

[muted karma]

which at least is doubleshot

not reverse dyesub

[glossy sandal]

true...

[muted karma]

not to say that epbt can't make nice keysets

but legit have not seen 5-side dyesub that doesn't look shit

[deep forum]

Hi again everyone, I have added another budget keyboard to the list I am interested in. trying to choose between the Redragon k632 pro, Tecware B68+ and the Tecware Phantom+ Elite.

The K632 pro is a 60% keeb, but it has a secondary layer for fn keys, which I need

They're all budget hotswap, wireless keyboards, with the K632 Pro being a low profile which I might find more similar to my laptop which I use for classes

I just have no idea how good the stock switches are on the Phantom+ Elite and the K632 Pro

[cunning anvil]

o the Milky is bc i forgot the fn key, i only ordered 36 silents

[wild star]

I also have that set!

[muted karma]

yo

nice w1

[muted karma]

how about this one

[wild star]

nice. salvaged one myself for the switches

[muted karma]

that is a dampened cream one

aka not worth salvaging

[cunning anvil]

what should i home my thumbs on? upside down r4 cherry?

[fresh parrot]

I like that numpad placement

Keep everything centered

I'm so mad, I bought my Keychron Q3 a month or two before Keychron dropped the Q3 Pro

It was long enough to be outside the return window

Or I could just complain to customer support about the broken keycaps and request a refund XD

[cunning anvil]

centered numpad? 🤔

[fresh parrot]

No, as in it's on the opposite side of the board from the arrow keys

[cunning anvil]

dang

@glossy sandal

might need a significantly different keymap

but 3xx3

[sleek bronze]

You'll use combos a lot ? @cunning anvil

[cunning anvil]

shrug

im just putzing around rn

wanna make something strange

[sleek bronze]

Oh okay

What do you use right now ?

[cunning anvil]

got any tips with combos?

currently using doug

[sleek bronze]

Yeah
Some things like escape, enter, tab etc are neat to have under a combo

Things you press only once but need it to be fast still

[cunning anvil]

(doug)

[sleek bronze]

Also look at mod tapping if you don't know about it

[cunning anvil]

currently using homerow mods

[sleek bronze]

Okay

I love them

I use a ferris sweep

[cunning anvil]

ooh

i havent dipped below 36-37 keys quite yet

[sleek bronze]

With colemak
Colemak+home row mod = perfect combo

You don't move your fingers anymore

[cunning anvil]

haha ya

[sleek bronze]

The learning curve was rough though x)

[cunning anvil]

i basically use modified miryoku rn

[sleek bronze]

Also combining colemak+home row+ tiling windows manager = heaven

[sleek bronze]

I started with that too

[cunning anvil]

i wanna use sub 30 keys at one point

[cunning anvil]

okay back to the realm of not dumb: jlcpcb has a deal for things under 100mm x 100mm. thats just enough for a 5x5 macropad? or. 4x5 with a dedicated row for logic and pro micro, 2 of which could make a single 40% board

[west barn]

Brighter then your future keyboard. Impulse meme build from things I got off Amazon on prime day just because

[chrome raft]

What keyboards have rly low travel, considering that since I type so fast on my iPads Magic Keyboard and like the short travel, I might like a more low profile keyboard

So far, I’ve found the Keychron K3 Ultra-Slim

But idk if thats the best

[fleet robin]

Anyone know any good keyboards or keyboard and mouse combos from best buy? My budget is around 100$ cad

[fresh parrot]

Look at the Keychron S1 as well

It's a nicer version of the K3 Ultra-Slim

[past summit]

my keybaord feels delayed

[main narwhal]

there's one overkill rgb board from china that has like, 5 LEDs underneath the spacebar to light the whole thing

I forgot what it's called

oh yeah this thing

[west barn]

oh my all that rgb lol

I love it

[main narwhal]

I feel like those NCR diffuser switches do make rgb brighter

or at least look brighter

I mean TTC

with the chunk of acrylic over the led

[west barn]

lol bright

[lilac grotto]

can you fix a solder point where the solder pad came off the copper plate?

[ionic briar]

can you reattach the solder pad back to the pcb? no
can you do something else to reconnect the missing link between the component and the traces? yes, you would need to solder a jumper cable from the ripped pad to the trace that the pad connected to

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR0lb7YI0v4

this should help you

[lilac grotto]

that looks quite complicated

[jovial narwhal]

currently dying on which switch to buy for gaming, so went for akko green switch cuz why not

sounds thocky, i like it

And I accidentally broke the outeron red switch due to it being stuck

[lilac grotto]

what wire is he using to fix the pad? solderwire?

[ionic briar]

he uses the lead of a resistor

[lilac grotto]

ah

[ionic briar]

otherwise ive seen people uses a normal electric wire as the jumper cable

[lilac grotto]

might have to dig around and find some leftover pcb's then

[ionic briar]

but that would require you to a: know where the trace of the pads continue and b: remove the pcb coating to expose the traces so that you can solder in the wire

[lilac grotto]

my L and Q key done goofed on my roya kudge keyboard

Pic 1 is the L key, pic 2 and 3 is the Q key

[lilac grotto]

I dont think this is repairable

The copper is just gone

[boreal rivet]

bridge the socket to the transistor looking thing

[lilac grotto]

im surprised

q works now

l worked for a second

but i dont think this keyboard is saveable

most other keys are kinda unresponsive as well

i had hoped maybe i can salvage this keeb but nope

[boreal rivet]

It is

You just don’t want to put in the effort to do so

[lilac grotto]

thats kinda mean

fortunately i managed to fix it

somehow

so thanks for the motivation

the keeb is still kinda unresponsive but atleast all of the keys arent straight dead

[amber tartan]

ah just dont type q and l then problem solved

[lilac grotto]

if i cant tye q then how am supposed to ask a question

[amber tartan]

with a question mark presumably

this one i think

?

[lilac grotto]

well

good point

currently the one being unresponsive is F M and left ctrl

[chilly perch]

You would need to glue down the hotswap socket and run a wire to the relavent connnections

[cunning anvil]

i installed an encoder on doug

looks like i need to get used to homerow mods on mx though

keep locking by accident

[dawn swan]

example of why kailh hotswap boards suck

that socket style has no real mounting to the pcb

just weakly held on by the solder pads

you have to place it on a hard surface when swapping switches or epoxy/glue the sockets down to the pcb if you dont want that happening whenever you insert a switch with a leg that is 0.01 degrees out of alignment

when one of my keyboards did that just superglued the socket back on and then soldered enamel wire jumper

solder is less trouble than having that bullshit happen

[chilly perch]

pov you spent hours figuring out how to model stabilizer holes just to learn that you can literally just make rectangles

@muted karma

This looks absolutely fantastic

Thank you so much again

[muted karma]

Nice

[flat gulch]

are all mechanical keyboards nkey rollover/anti ghosting by default?

[glossy sandal]

metal pipe

[sacred shale]

does anyone have any recommendations on a keyboard that i can get that is good for gaming and sounds nice? i also prefer wireless

[amber tartan]

logitech k330

[dawn swan]

no but most are 6kro at the minimum usually

some have switches on them or an option in the control/macro software to change from 6kro to nkro

actually good keyboards are nkro by default or customs that have the force nkro config option in qmk

[flat gulch]

If i can only afford bad keyboards, are bad mechanical keyboards worth stepping up to or do i just stick to the garbage office ones?

[lilac grotto]

a good membrane keyboard is sometimes better than bottom tier mechanical keyboards

[lilac grotto]

budget?
a default recommendation from me is usually from keychron

[sacred shale]

budget is around 100-150 aud

i got recommended razer black widow v3 hyperspeed

[lilac grotto]

Gaming mech keeb huh

[sacred shale]

yeah

not sure though cuz i think keychron might be better

[lilac grotto]

keychron k2 is a solid buy

[sacred shale]

aight ill check it out

[lilac grotto]

if you have a bit more you can get a v2 with a knob

[flat gulch]

Do good membrane keyboards come at the same price as bottom tier mechanical keyboards?

Because if the good membrane keyboard is like $100 then it's a moot point

[lilac grotto]

A logitech membrane is most of the time better than some 20$ mech keeb

[boreal rivet]

No it isn’t

[lilac grotto]

Have you tried a 20$ mechanical keyboard

[boreal rivet]

Yes

[lilac grotto]

[lilac path]

hear me out

[lilac grotto]

I'd rather use my logitech membrane than go back to my 20$ POS mechanical keyboarf

[flat gulch]

Which was your pos keyboard?

[lilac grotto]

Local brand

[boreal rivet]

OK 👍 👌

[lilac grotto]

Sounds so hollow lol

[fresh parrot]

Yeah Keychron K2 or V2 depending on the flavor you want.

Or the variants depending on your preference for keyboard size

I prefer TKL personally

[inland robin]

Is it worth it to change my Razer Blackwidow V3 TKL for Ducky one mini 2?

[west barn]

a lego builders keyboard lol

not bad to say the least.

[lilac path]

100$ tho

[west barn]

not a bad price thought budget keyboards have gotten quite well over time

[lilac path]

yea
it sounds pretty good too

might actually go for it

[west barn]

Lol looking into gaskey mounted keyboards

but ima wait for keychron to sell the Q1 Champage ediition on black friday so it sorta matches my Drop+Noctia Keycaps lol

[amber tartan]

maybe a one 3 mini if you can

[inland robin]

The thing is that guy only has one 2 mini availble atm

[dawn swan]

keychron especially wireless models are really bad for gaming if you want a wireless gaming keyboard buy one with a dedicated USB dongle NOT bluetooth

their bluetooth wireless latency is approaching 30ms which starts to become fairly apparent

multiple frames at 60hz

also the most complained about feature of that brand in reviews is the bluetooth wireless

random disconnects and high latency

not sure why keychron is universally recommended for gaming when it is worse than basically anything but a bottom of the barrel redragon or GMMK for that usecase

their featureset is more geared towards people that care about sound/build quality/aesthetics not for performance and absolute minimum input lag

and even then its probably worse than a custom in that case

only way i would consider anything from that brand usable for gaming is if you use a QMK model wired and make sure that the config is setup to 1000hz polling/force NKRO/eager debounce

[amber tartan]

i dont think they know what any of that means

[inland robin]

I have heard about ducky one mini 2 that it has a higher latency or something idk, I play competitive valorant
and some casual dota is that really gonna affect me currently i'm using blackwidow v3 tkl with green switches i'm kinda tired of it now and looking to change

[amber tartan]

its wired so its not gonna be a issue

hes talking about bluetooth

[hidden estuary]

Hello is the Monsgeek M5 DIY Kit good for 130€?
what switches / keys u recomend to buy in europe
thanks a lot please @ me

[stiff stirrup]

[twilit flare]

first of all switch to tkl

and idk

[lilac grotto]

Keychron k2

[glossy sandal]

It’s pretty good

[cunning anvil]

out of curiosity, how many number keys do people usually use in gaming?

[boreal rivet]

1-4 for me

[glossy sandal]

1-6 is pretty solid

[cunning anvil]

i was wondering if 3 was enough, clearly not lol

[amber tartan]

unless youre playing arma, 3 is fine enough honestly

csgo and stuff like that

simple movement

[boreal rivet]

still need 4 for nades

apex needs 4 for heals

[amber tartan]

scroll wheel

apex is not simple movement

[boreal rivet]

Need it to bhop

[amber tartan]

scroll down to jump, scroll up to switch :^)

[boreal rivet]

Doesn’t matter, movement inputs aren’t done on number keys

[amber tartan]

also nobody bhops in comp unless youre franzj

[boreal rivet]

Damn can’t try to have fun huh

[amber tartan]

64 tick is ass

[boreal rivet]

I try anyway what’s the issue

[amber tartan]

csgo is not even fun to begin with tf u mean

[boreal rivet]

😭

[chilly perch]

The whole board

I count using spreadsheets and programming as gaming when I do it for runescape so yeah whole 108 key

[lilac grotto]

better yet 2 keyboards

you can program and use spreadsheets on a 34% board

Typing speed

[amber tartan]

what

stenotype?

[chrome raft]

No

[amber tartan]

idk what youre trying to ask

[chrome raft]

Still gaming keyboard or like, standard keyboard, but with RGB and a both wired and wireless capability but very good for typing

Idk what makes a keyboard good for typing

[amber tartan]

that is entirely up to your preference and i have no say in it

[muted karma]

basically you have to try stuff out

personally some light to medium tactile works best

[lilac grotto]

You can start with browns or reds

I started with reds but turns out i like heavier switches so i got some gateron yellows

If i had the money i'd get some blacs

[chrome raft]

I was thinking browns bc they’re quieter, I don’t like the massively loud clicks that my cousins I think he has blue switches???? Has

[lilac grotto]

If you want quite get linears

And depending on the switches they can also be smooth

[chrome raft]

I like the feel of mechanical, I don’t mind some clicky noise, it’s just that I’ve heard reds and blues irl and they loud asf compared to what I want

[lilac grotto]

loud reds?

what reds do you have lol

[boreal rivet]

anything thats unsilenced is loud

clickies more so thats all

[lilac grotto]

usually if its still loud then its probably the keyboard itself

so you might want to get something low profile so there's less travel and less sounds from the keycaps

the most quite keyboard i know is a laptop keyboard, so low profile with shallow keycaps and some sound dampening in the keyboard might work wonders

[glossy mica]

Or just get silent switches

[lilac grotto]

or that

[boreal rivet]

those two examples don't even operate on the same mechanism

just stop talking

you have no idea what you're saying

[lilac grotto]

damn bro chill

Anything keychron

[chilly perch]

Sell your drop boards before they force you to install icue to use haha

[muted karma]

can't force you to do shit if you have qmk + via on it

[river wharf]

What are some keycaps like the gmk Inukuma

[sand pagoda]

I may or may not have spilled ramen on my keyboard

I turned it off and assume the best course of action is isopropyl alcohol?

[chilly perch]

ye

[clear adder]

idk if its just me but i feel like spending 20$ on keycaps is a lot, i mean maybe im wrong and there is a good reason they are soo expensive but anyway i would like an XDA profile key cap set that is not girly but would look good on a black Nuphy halo 65

[glossy mica]

Lol if you think $20 is expensive for keycaps, you haven’t seen a quarter of it

[clear adder]

no key caps are not my thing lol i know there are rlly expensive ones like artisan but i dont even know much about that either

[glossy mica]

$20 is as cheap as it gets

[tepid jungle]

Hey guys I'm looking for a 100% keyboard with speed silver switches. Any recommendations?

[gusty ridge]

something else

[calm portal]

i have use on my workbench i like it.
you can tell it's hp cuz of the crummy warning sticker on it.

i use this elsewhere most of the time.

[calm portal]

i dont really like this one as much because it doesn't have any media keys and the typing experience, while good, is boring

yeah yeah ik i could just use keymapping software but i dont want to have to fiddle around with that, ugh

...but if you know of a really really good, stable software for that then please let me know!!

What a good keyboard with tactile switches?

Preferably 90%> size
