[sonic cape]

yep

i bought like 5 extra ghostbar

[verbal zinc]

lol

[sonic cape]

when it released

the red one is sweet

[verbal zinc]

i may buy shinethrough keys in the near future

as long as they dont change the sound

[sonic cape]

keycaps can and do change sound a bit

[verbal zinc]

gonna have to ask around in here when im planning to buy em lol

im married to this sound right now ahaha

[sonic cape]

yeah and whats great

eventually when one day the board will not work

battery will pop or saomething

you can always take the great switches

and stabs

[verbal zinc]

pop it open and change the battery

;p

[sonic cape]

or that yeah

😄

[verbal zinc]

i have a track record of keeping my tech for many many years

in good condition

until i spill wine on it

[sonic cape]

I do aswell but i just buy too much shit

[verbal zinc]

im waiting for keybay to get the field75 in stock

[sonic cape]

haha

[verbal zinc]

canadian store no customs costs XD

[sonic cape]

well lets hope your gf

[verbal zinc]

she plans to steal it when i go to the office to work

until i get a nice carry bag for it im not travelling with it lol

[sonic cape]

yeah a hard case

[verbal zinc]

the ltt bag is good but im still gonna protect the crap out of this board 😄

[sonic cape]

[verbal zinc]

yeh

[sonic cape]

nice

[verbal zinc]

[verbal zinc]

nah they have to after showing them so much on WAN haha

[sonic cape]

hasnt it been

like almost a year

[verbal zinc]

yeh prob

i do want the new ones i love the design ahah

[sonic cape]

titanium leads the way

[verbal zinc]

i'd guess they will start sending them once they get all the old bags in the warehouse changed

it sounds like a really big pain in the butt for logistics lol

the more bags they sell the more carabiners they need

[sonic cape]

im waiting for

2 screwdrivers

[verbal zinc]

i have both 😄

black shaft gang regular+stubby

black n orange

first use of my stubby - dismantling a treadmill for my friend as they're moving

[sonic cape]

i have two already

but ordered a stubby and random one

[arctic shuttle]

Why use a ratcheting screw driver when you can use a Milwaukee M12 FUEL Impact Driver

[cunning anvil]

keyboarbs

how much rgb is too much

[arctic shuttle]

Any

Any at all

[unborn forum]

depends on how old you are

[cunning anvil]

trying to decide if i wanna do hotswap

does choc come in 3/5 pin variants?

[arctic shuttle]

Every 3 pin PCB fits a 5 pin switch if you cut it the 4th and 5th pin

[cunning anvil]

i didnt know choc had 5 pin versions lol

[arctic shuttle]

I don't either

I don't think they do

[zinc wave]

How much you got?

[cunning anvil]

none except a single logo on my gpu lol

[zinc wave]

Thats nothing

I can understand why some people don't like RGB. I dont have any in my PC case but my mouse and keyboard have it. It can be fun to play around with but the full color puke can be a lot. Its like underglow on cars

[arctic shuttle]

RGBad

[zinc wave]

But why?

[cunning anvil]

cutie

[stark patrol]

Hey guys, are there any keypads on the market that come with an analog thumbstick and not a fake 8-way d-pad that just looks like a thumbstick?

[fierce walrus]

Ion think an analog stick is hard on an electircal level. there should be some around

[stark patrol]

I’ve seen and looked into the Azeron line of products but I’m wondering if there are any others in the market that I don’t know about

[cunning anvil]

i know of one but i can't remember the name rn

libra

[stark patrol]

Oh that looks promising

Oh but it doesn’t come with an option to put the joystick on the left side of the keyboard

I’m trying to look for a left handed one so that I can use controller movements in games

[zinc wave]

Aside from keychron, are there any other decent tkl barebones kits?

[amber tartan]

haven tkl

[zinc wave]

Oof, little pricey

[sonic cape]

[random berry]

is the redragon fizz k617 good build quality?

[cunning anvil]

[arctic shuttle]

[cunning anvil]

typing on my new keyboard

very slowly

[shut sequoia]

can anyone help me with picking a keyboard

[amber tartan]

realforce

[shut sequoia]

thank you, perchance you would like to hear the parameters of what I can buy?

[amber tartan]

not really

[shut sequoia]

epic

[cunning anvil]

do i need a plate? hotswap choc, cfx spaced

maybe I'll get that and a spacer printed

[hollow wagon]

as long as the PCB has the mounting holes you don't NEED a plate...but it can feel more rigid with one.

[cunning anvil]

can i use a switch plate as a bottom plate in a skeleton case?

or maybe ill just bolt the pcb to the tin

[zinc wave]

What were you in the market for?

[shut sequoia]

%95> keyboard with a 200$ budget

[zinc wave]

So most likely a tenkeyless or smaller?

[shut sequoia]

uh

I don't know what those words mean

but Id like something full size or keys just squeezed together

[zinc wave]

ah got it. I misread.

Gamery aesthetic or regular?

Rgb lights or no lights?

[median slate]

I hjave finally recived my new keycaps :D

Honey and Milk Tea's ai think

idk

[unkempt dome]

Monsgeek m5 maybe would suit your needs.

[sonic cape]

yep

[shut sequoia]

any works, id prefer rgb but if you are saying I can get better without it then that is also alright

[shut sequoia]

thanks

[zinc wave]

I think its more just preference. There are a lot of people here that dislike it but there are a number of perfectly good keyboards that have it/use it.

The Wooting Two HE is a decent full size board that has rgb

[shut sequoia]

I was actually considering that lol

it having analog sort of sold it to me, bit of a silly reason but I'd like to play NFS with it

[zinc wave]

Id say go for it. If it's for gaming it would be great. On the higher end of prices but well within your price range

One of the best keyboards for gaming that ive heard

[cunning anvil]

anyone have a fun 30% with thumb keys to share

[amber tartan]

pain27 with a split space

[cunning anvil]

ortho?

also does p27 support split space even

[amber tartan]

no

planck is probably your best bet

[cunning anvil]

ooh hummingbird is close

[arctic shuttle]

You're wild for that

[main narwhal]

always the dilly lolol

that reminds me, I never could figure out what this was for

[arctic shuttle]

Nice tv remote

[sonic cape]

that's more like an ac remote

tv remote has more buttons

[verbal zinc]

Can probably make a nice little macro board with it ;p

[cunning anvil]

is that a dissatisfaction?

nvm

[sleek bronze]

Just got some new switches today

MX bling yellow

They feel sooo good

So good that I don't want any chocs pink anymore
I'll go with minimal mx spacing and custom keycaps

[bleak kite]

What are yall's thoughts on the "Bias v2" keyboards as a whole?

[amber tartan]

great if you dont mind the turnaround time

[bleak kite]

what if i have 5 of them on hand

[amber tartan]

haha no you dont

[bleak kite]

okay 4

missing one

[amber tartan]

are you flipping them

[bleak kite]

maybe

[amber tartan]

🥀

[bleak kite]

that is what this is right?

[amber tartan]

yes

[bleak kite]

and a geonworks f1-8x 772

[amber tartan]

right.

[bleak kite]

left?

[amber tartan]

cool

[bleak kite]

i'm gonna try to keep at least the geonworks.

up to my boss

[amber tartan]

how much are you selling the bias

and how come you have 4...

[bleak kite]

idk it's up to my boss, he bought them from a guy who walked into the computer repair store i work at.

[amber tartan]

how much did he paid them for

[bleak kite]

$100 per keyboard

[amber tartan]

?!?

ill take it off his hands for 200 gladly

ill take 2 even

[bleak kite]

i'll talk to him

i'm only just getting into keyboards, i've got a gmmk2 with redragon switches as my keyboard so that geon feels nice

[amber tartan]

its a good board yes

korean engineering

can you get a pic of all 4 bias together

[wooden ember]

Anyone else score one of these?

[sleek bronze]

Well maybe it is luminescent, I never trie

Not luminescent but hey

[chrome raft]

Guys, AITA for using the clickiest keyboard I could find to work from home when my wife is trying to sleep in the bed next to me?

[boreal rivet]

Why are you asking internet strangers when you can just ask your wife

[zenith swallow]

where to get budget coiled type c cables

in canada

[timber bay]

Neo65

[sonic cape]

how is that possible

they ship early october

[timber bay]

No from qk batch ones already shipped

I was like the second person to get it though

Also I'm a YouTuber with 53 subscribers so they probably prioritized mine 😏😏😏😏

[sonic cape]

damn

i ordered 2

navy and white

copper and brass weights

[fiery silo]

does anyone have suggestions for a good site or sites to purchases parts to build a custom board looking to go fully custom insted of slightly or prebuilt

Hello holy thockers and tharblers

I love keyboard

[timber bay]

Qwertykeys

[dire grotto]

I am looking at getting a new keyboard, do I stick with wired or go wireless?

[amber tartan]

youll need a wireless one because youll most definitely type while on the shitter

[late zinc]

if you even have to ask that, then stick to wired lol

[dire grotto]

I only have 1 cable on show and it's my keyboard and I don't wanna drill my desk that's all

So wireless is preferred but idk if it will effect performance

[sleek bronze]

keyfirst mx bling yellow best switches ever

[boreal rivet]

topre is better

[glossy mica]

I dont mind stock topre but im a linear guy for sure

[arctic shuttle]

Stock topre kinda mid ngl

Fight me about it

Don’t spread misinformation please 🙏

[arctic shuttle]

It's not, sorry

Mans been inhaling too much Copre

[boreal rivet]

You aren’t at that point yet trust 🙏

[arctic shuttle]

Atleast it isnt an R2

That board was ass

[halcyon ginkgo]

So i recntly was given some switches and i was curious if anyone had any experience with them. They are the Akko V3 Matcha Green PRO switches, ive looked all around the internet to see if anyone has a sound test or anything and i cannot find anything.\

[cunning anvil]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/546816697437519892/1147283603512901652/image.png

this would be a really funny layout for artisans i feel

[cunning anvil]

what % would this fall under

[zinc wave]

Like 90%

[cunning anvil]

hmm

how about this split

idk might remove that 5 not sure yet

[wary fable]

Hello, ive recently been looking for a keyboard for a gaming pc, the crazy thing is i really don't care much about it beeing a mechanical keyboard, I like the feeling on a membrane keyboard, and i have been playing for years on an generic hp keyboard that came with an old all in one I used to have. Sadly the keyboard died not long ago and know i need to buy a new one. Really Im just looking for something with a good response time, that's not to pricey, I looked for wireless mechanical keyboards, however I came to notice most of them are really far to expensive for what Im willing to pay, then I started to look into regular wireless keyboards, but i have no idea if i will experience connection problems or the connection will be to slow to play games. If anyone could help with some recommendations that would be awesome (Im looking to expend beetween 40-50 dollars) also the wireless part would be a bonus but cable connection wouldn't be a problem

[zinc wave]

Steelseries apex 3?

Its membrane or rubber dome

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[amber tartan]

fc660c

[chrome raft]

k120

[ripe anchor]

hmm, idk what the difference is with those and the regular matcha green ones, but, the regular matcha greens from akko are quite nice, the pre-lubed ones even are sweet

[ripe anchor]

do you not care about it being a mechanical keyboard or would you be fine with getting one if it were mechanical and in your price range? also what size keyboard do you want -- like, do you want it to be a full sized keyboard with a number pad, can it be TKL (without a number pad), 75%, 65%? (you can see the different styles if you look online on google images)

btw the wireless mechanical keyboards i know of all come with the ability to plugin and do it wired anyway, so you can always do that while gaming. there are a bunch of options in that price range, ill post a few

[zinc wave]

hyper x also has a membrane

[obtuse flint]

Anyone have recs for a mechanical keyboard? Replacing a Blackwidow Chroma, want MX Blues full size. Budget of max $200

[smoky comet]

wooting

fastest and best gaming money can buy

+customizable

or get the new apex pro that copied wooting with hall effect switches and rapid trigger

[stoic granite]

Can anyone recognise this switch?

[boreal rivet]

anyone know what these are

they're kinda ass and i'm probably going to throw them out

[stoic granite]

keyboards

[boreal rivet]

wow so true

[cunning anvil]

n!n and waveshare... are these direct pin boards?

[sleek bronze]

Yes direct pins both

Technically 34% rather than 30%

[ancient oar]

Got this Cherry MXRed K70 for $10 at Goodwill, I can officially say I have my first Mechanical Keyboard and am loving every second of it!

[cunning anvil]

makes sense, what spacing?

[sleek bronze]

Choc for the white one and normal MX spacing for the colorful one

I want to try a tighter spaced mx board

[cunning anvil]

minibaen?

18.68mm s

that's as tight as i know of

[spiral barn]

Thoughts on my new keyboard?

[topaz topaz]

What the hell is happening with the space bar

[spiral barn]

Wdym?

[topaz topaz]

Lol

[unique hatch]

Looks great

Yeah what is going on with the space bar

[smoky comet]

looks like a piece of trash cardboard screwed on

not a useable spacebar

[cunning anvil]

looks like a doorbell

[dawn swan]

crusty spacebar

doorbell soldered into keyboard

[smoky comet]

i swear the modding community is so deluded that they are at the point of modding with trash just to stand out

[amber tartan]

lol, lmao even

[spiral barn]

It sure is lol

[spiral barn]

It's not soldered on, but I thought about it

[dawn swan]

atleast clean it first and make sure the switch in it has a low enough contact settling time

otherwise you will have you spacebar double or triple typing on one press down

or just be overall unreliable

should not be an issue if its some cheap 125hz keyboard or a keychron with 10ms+ debounce window

[muted karma]

is that a serious question

I'd assume people don't find NOS pingmasters randomly

[boreal rivet]

🙃

bait didn't work

i'm sad

[muted karma]

[modest blaze]

how's this Cosmic Byte CB-GK-16 Firefly Per-Key RGB TKL Mechanical Keyboard with Swappable Outemu Blue Switch, Macros, Software (Black) https://amzn.eu/d/4xCJLWz

i would like a blue switch one

[sonic cape]

rebuilt my psd60

[dusty remnant]

Clean

[sonic cape]

PC plate with akko radiant reds

and durock stabs

[dusty remnant]

my first board was a used k10, great way to learn the basics, like most consumer boards way too many screws tho, had me about to get a electric driver @ ltt WHEN?

[dusty remnant]

do you have any side by side experience with durock and stabies?

[sonic cape]

unfortunately I dont, I have akko screw in and clip in

and also durock and the old everglide ones

[cobalt saffron]

I A/B tested Staebies vs Durock in one of my builds

Much prefered staebies

Only because I am not very good at tuning stabs though. I'm sure if I put some more effort into my Durock stabs, they'd be just as good

But staebies are very easy to tune

I still prefer TX clip-ins to both of those

Just as easy to tune, easy af to install

[native sundial]

Any 40% recommendations? Really the only requirements for me is that it’s hot swappable and wireless. Want a portable keeb for my steam deck.

[cunning anvil]

split? ortho? stagger?

reviung is fun

[native sundial]

idk what any of that means lol

unless you weren’t talking to me, then proceed lol

[cunning anvil]

well, do you want a split board or not?

also what would be your budget?

https://github.com/gtips/reviung

i just stan these boards tbh

[main narwhal]

split wireless hotswap doesn't exist I think lol

nvm it does

just not as a prebuilt most likely, unless one of the sites that prebuilds has them in stock

yeah

a few of the sites want 300 bucks to build a corne for you with nicenanos lol

If you're willing to build one, that'd be the way to go most likely

for split*

[cunning anvil]

yeah budget and willingness to solder is also important

and idk if they want split or not i just wanted to mention in case

theres also unibody splits

[native sundial]

Not split, and preferably under $100 USD. May consider 60%s as well, just need something small enough to comfortably go in a backpack.

I really like my current RK84 for my desktop, but idk if RK makes 40%s. The smallest I’ve seen is the RK61.

[grim bronze]

If there is a keyboard where my typing speed is a lot lower and less accurate than other keyboards, is it worth practicing on that keyboard to improve my typing speed or should I just stick with the keyboards I’m already good with typing on?

[swift forge]

Well that depends on your use case

And preference

I don’t think you bought a board just to shit on it, and throw it out for spite. Unless it becomes your mantelpiece then probably practice on it 🤷

[verbal zinc]

I'm still getting used to my Halo96, It's much more compact than my old full keyboard. There's no gaps between the arrow keys, F Keys, Numpad etc... It's worth it for me at least!

This is the most I've ever looked at the keyboard when typing too in many years!

[grim bronze]

I mean it’s not something I Bought because I wanted it, it’s just an old apple USB keyboard because I didn’t have anything else and I switched from a MacBook to a Mac mini.

I just don’t know if it’s worth practicing on a crappy keyboard or just wait until i get something decent

[verbal zinc]

I mean if you have no choice, you'll get used to it 😛

[grim bronze]

I’ll probably get a Magic Keyboard at some point. They’re still shit, but way better than these. They’re also basically just MacBook keyboards which is what I’m used to

[verbal zinc]

Practicing, vs just using it, maybe just use it and get used to it rather than practice until you get a new one

[grim bronze]

Yeah, I WPM on my MacBook was 60-70

On this one I get around 50

Not actually as far away as I thought tbh. Feels a lot slower than it is 😅

[verbal zinc]

I haven't tested mine in a while, but I'm feeling old saying this... back in high school ~20 years ago jeezuz, we had to have 85WPM and above 90% accuracy to pass computers class lol

[grim bronze]

Isn’t the average like 40?

[verbal zinc]

not with this teacher

[grim bronze]

85 seems really high for a minimum

[verbal zinc]

all we did all class was play that bookworm character game forgot the name

[grim bronze]

Even professionals are around like 90-100 aren’t they?

[verbal zinc]

I can fill out a blank keyboard sheet down to the symbols and F keys without reference

yeah i think so

She was rough on us I guess lol

[grim bronze]

85 seems insanely high

[verbal zinc]

was normal for us, I thought 100 was normal XD

keep in mind this was ~20+ years ago or so

we didnt really have smart phones and whatnot XD

[grim bronze]

Yeah tbh, I feel like phones are reducing my typing speed

[verbal zinc]

gonna try a monkeytype

[grim bronze]

Like on mobile I’m SUPER slow, like 40 something I think.

If apple made a blackberry style phone I would pay a worrying amount of money for that 😅

[verbal zinc]

3

on mobile i swipe

[grim bronze]

Ahh, yeah that’s true, I never really use swiping. Im generally faster but I have to think about the gesture of every word before I do it and it slows me down long term

[verbal zinc]

I thought I was a 90 wpm typer I think I was just focused XD

[grim bronze]

Like for a couple words it’s faster, but if I’m writing multiple sentences it’s way slower

[verbal zinc]

yeh agreed for me too on mobile 😄

it sometimes puts the wrong words

so you have to slow down and fix it

[grim bronze]

Yeah typing speed tests aren’t good real world examples. If you know what you want to write you can be faster since you don’t have to read them

[verbal zinc]

yep

it's still a good way to check

[grim bronze]

Or if you don’t know exactly what you write you have to think about that too which will slow you down

[verbal zinc]

gives an idea

[grim bronze]

The only real way it works is that everyone is doing the same thing so you can compare. But it’s still not perfect

[verbal zinc]

it's more getting an idea of that person's capabilities

in class the tests were several typing tests one after another and then the average of all of them iirc

[grim bronze]

Also watching wan show atm and they were talking about luke having dyslexia makes his “WPM” lower even though he can type fast because he struggles with the reading aspect

[verbal zinc]

once you make one typo if youre going fast you make a lot of typos in a row

and that just destroys the test results lol

[grim bronze]

Depends if you go back and fix them or not

[verbal zinc]

monkey type is a bit more lenient on them i think

the software we had not so much 😄

and yeah the game we played a LOT in class was Bookworm Adventures

[grim bronze]

Yeah I think they were just about dropping typing as a school class as I was in primary school

[verbal zinc]

I'm pretty it was that one it looks right in google images aha

they should leave it as part of at least one of the computer courses

[grim bronze]

I remember doing a couple online lessons or something, but it was never something they actually taught

[verbal zinc]

it's a good skill anyway

[grim bronze]

Yeah

[verbal zinc]

if you guys even have computer classes

i dont have kids yet so i'll find out in the future aha

im from the generation of overhead projectors and blackboards

[grim bronze]

We do, but it’s more of a computer science and IT combo, it’s more for experience in a bunch of fields to see if you’re interested for either IT or CS as a GCSE

[verbal zinc]

damn I wish we had those when I was a kid 😄

[grim bronze]

they don’t really teach you anything you can use

[verbal zinc]

still sounds more fun

in college, one of our teachers "taught" us how to google search for a few weeks

[grim bronze]

Lmaoo

[verbal zinc]

she tried to embarass me during that exam too, i finished the exam in about 5 minutes or less and she said if we finish we can leave - she cut me off and took my exam and corrected it in front of everyone and it was 100% lol

[grim bronze]

It still amazes me how many people don’t understand what Google even is.

The amount of people who just think “type the name of a website in and it takes me to that website” is insane

[verbal zinc]

boolean searches ftw

aha yeh

[grim bronze]

Like that’s not a thing Google does

That’s just the job of a browser

[verbal zinc]

lol

that's dns resolving or wtv

im bad at networking aha its something along those lines

URL resolves to an IP somewhere and displays whats on the page

[grim bronze]

Yeah it basically is the job of the DNS

[cunning anvil]

if you dont know the exact url or tld its still pretty good though

[verbal zinc]

oh we talking about the address bar not google search itself

afaik <<

[cunning anvil]

i meant it in reply to this ig

[verbal zinc]

ah yeah

tru tru

[grim bronze]

Well yeah, but that’s not what it’s doing. It’s just searching for that search term across the internet and giving you results which include it a lot of times.

It’s just coincidence that a lot of websites tend to talk about themselves a lot 😅

[verbal zinc]

xD

[grim bronze]

Also we should probably jump to general

[verbal zinc]

gener..al?

[cunning anvil]

dead channel anyways, its pretty free

[verbal zinc]

is it safe in there

lol

[grim bronze]

I mean

[verbal zinc]

ive been sticking in FP chat lol

[grim bronze]

Hmm

[verbal zinc]

i hide behind the bread creators

[grim bronze]

Im too poor for fp atm

[verbal zinc]

i split it with my gf for the year

[grim bronze]

Used to be on it though

[cunning anvil]

im spend too much on keyboards to do any fp

[verbal zinc]

xD

[late zinc]

OG tier ftw

[grim bronze]

Lmaoo

[verbal zinc]

i wish i was OG tier

[grim bronze]

Probably get back on it in a month or two

[verbal zinc]

its fine i dont mind throwing money at FP, I didn't even ask them to refund me the pro-rated when i upgraded to 4k XD

they do good

[grim bronze]

I’ve just signed a new contract with EE to get a 15 pro max

[verbal zinc]

i keep the vids archived to my plex ❤️

[cunning anvil]

tryna decide on a split keyboard idea

[grim bronze]

Need to wait for the first bill to come out in a month before I can budget around that

[verbal zinc]

oo

Pixel user here

split keyboard idea?

[cunning anvil]

pixel user?

[verbal zinc]

pixel phone

i should use the reply button more

Shaun talking about the 15 pro max

but im in here so i dont want to let go of the keyboard 😄

[cunning anvil]

ohhh i thought you saw something that made it clear someone was using a pixel lol

[verbal zinc]

oh lol

[cunning anvil]

pixel is good, their buds nice too

[verbal zinc]

I dropped iOS when the iPhone 6 came out

Note 4 was so cheap that month XD

[cunning anvil]

yknow altoids smalls?

[verbal zinc]

gonna use the address bar to google it

i see lol

is this about your split keyboard?

[swift forge]

Well… if you’ve ever had to do data entry in a corporate office… nothing better than $10, maybe 20 membrane keyboards there unless you bring your own

[cunning anvil]

kinda

[random berry]

guess the price

[swift forge]

Which seems to be a bit of a trend

[swift forge]

No kidneys

[verbal zinc]

300 US

[random berry]

try again

[verbal zinc]

No idea 😄

[random berry]

50$

[verbal zinc]

It's adorable though omg

[random berry]

haha thanks

nothing was changed other than keycaps

[verbal zinc]

you do the art ?

[random berry]

nahh

aliexpress 💀

[verbal zinc]

heading out have a good clacky keyboard day all

[random berry]

you too bro

[glossy mica]

$20

[random berry]

keeb was 30 keycaps 20

with shipping

[glossy mica]

close enough

[cunning anvil]

hehehe

[spiral barn]

It works

It's not a very comparable experience to my previous spacebar(glorious lynx) but it technically works

[random berry]

yooo have the same keeb

such good stabs for 30$

[spiral barn]

Fr

But my port is on the front

[random berry]

oh might have a k616 then?

[shell locust]

I need Royal kludge rk84 keycaps guys

[verbal zinc]

Can someone recommend a carry case of sorts for a Halo96

Went to the office today to use this and I'm sad

Yes it needs s dusting but it isn't so bad xD

[amber tartan]

just get a universal sleeve

or a backpack

[normal isle]

bruh you're saying that needs a dusting... you can barely even see the metal on my keyboard 🤮

I need to clean it but I've been slacking

hard

[verbal zinc]

I have the LTT Backpack, but a universal sleeve sounds fine to put it in before entering it into the backpack, I'll find one that it fits in... I don't want keys pressing in while I'm carrying it around etc...

[verbal zinc]

I have an annual reminder in the end of March to clean my PC and accessories, it helps. Changing the thermal paste and whatnot too!

[real wasp]

Bought a second-hand gmmk pro with glorious panda switches. I didn't like how heavy the switches were, so I bought some durock 55g springs, lubed them, and swapped them in last night. Holy cow they feel fantastic now. Can't recommend enough if you still want a solid tactile bump but don't want a heavy switch.

[normal isle]

Man if only I had done that sooner...

Lol

[frank fox]

Alright I need some advice from you guys. As a programmer / Network Engineer I love low profile keyboards. I've been using this Logitech UltraX Premium Keyboard for years and I love it! But knowing that it's no longer being sold I dread for the day it will eventually stop working, and I need some advice on what to look for to get a similar experience. I recently bought this Corsair K70 Mk2 with Cherry mx speed low profile switches in the hopes for it to be a similar or even better experience than the Logitech, but with backlit switches (which is the only thing I miss on the Logitech). But I got greatly disappointed in the feeling of the switches. They trigger way too soon for the amount of travel they have imo. And I end up mistyping all the time, aswell as accidentally triggering keys while Im just resting my hand above WASD while gaming. Based on my preferences, what do you guys recommend in terms of types of switches or even whole keyboards? Numpad is a must have for me btw. Thanks!

[marble dock]

Not exactly keyboards, but i can't get the ltt mousepad cuz its too damn expensive shipping to australia. What are some alternatives of good price to size ratio

(in the region of 1000x500mm mousepads

[real wasp]

You're really used to rubber domes, which have a much stronger resistance at the top of the keypress than a lot of mechanical switches. You'll likely get a lot of mileage out of tactile switches instead of linear switches.

Speed switches are meant to actuate about 1mm below the top to shave milliseconds off the delay between you pressing the key and the key being actuated. You would probably prefer something with brown switches in it. That'll give you an extra mm of travel before actuation (which shouldn't be an issue because you're used to rubber domes that need to bottom out to actuate), and the tactile bump will help avoid accidental keypresses.

[frank fox]

Thank you so much!! This was very helpful 🙂

[tropic barn]

Anyone have a recommended 60%? For decades I used G710, then my friend gave me his old HHK and Anne Pro 2. I also made a Corne for a friend and have the parts for a second (but I'm not sure I'm ready for it myself). I'm primarly using the anne pro 2 now but it has very serious chatter. I would switch to the happpy hacking but I'm a programmer with a ton of keybinds that involve the arrow keys (I'm slowly migrating away but slowly is keyword here) I use alt, fn, menu, ctrl as arrows on this keyboard. I'm looking for an aalternative that doesn't chatter but stilll allows easy rebinding with minimal bloat install. Seems to be trillions of options, where to start? Money no real object here

[real wasp]

You're correct that there are trillions of options. If you want absolute minimum bloat, though, I'd get a keyboard that has VIA firmware you can flash on it since VIA is now controlled through your browser.

Do you have any type of switch preferences?

Heavy, light, linear, tactile, clicky, loud, silent?

How open are you to doing some mods to your keyboard? Lubing switches, springs, stabilizers, tape mod, etc. The mods you do to your keyboard can easily be the difference between a good keyboard and one that actually makes you happy to type on.

[real wasp]

As a starting point, you'll probably be quite happy with the keychron k12 pro. You could either get it barebones and figure out switches+keycaps you'll love, or just buy the whole thing assembled.

[viscid tapir]

are sluggish stabs result of too mcuh bdz on wire or too much 205 of housing

i added far less than tutorial stated

but it is extremely sluggish

or could be foam over the wire

[real wasp]

Could be too much lube on the housing or the foam on the wire. Hard to say without seeing it in person. My newest keyboard's stabs improved a lot when I replaced the glob of dielectric grease that came stock with a glob of 205.

[viscid tapir]

i added half as much bdz and 205 as people on youtube i watched but still felt really sluggish

i did not cut out line for wire from foam

maybe could be this but i doubt it

i mean backspace returns well a bit sluggish but fine while enter is extremely sluggish

even if i let it go returns slowly

at first it refused to return at all was a bit crooked

[real wasp]

You could always try shoving a dry brush in from the top to pick up excess without having to remove the stabs entirely.

But that sounds like a weird lube issue, especially if one side is noticeably different than the other.

[viscid tapir]

like after lubing with 205 stem was quite sluggish in housing and then adding bdz it made wire even more sluggish

some people told me no way it is lube it is wire but others said no way it is wire it is lube

yes left if far more sluggish than right

idk if it is wire on housing or is it steam in housing

[real wasp]

I would start by pulling the stabs out and completely cleaning everything off. When lubing the stab, try to only lube where the wire touches the stabilizer, and avoid lubing the stem specifically.

Lube in stabilizers more about preventing wire rattle than smoothing motion imo (motion should be dependent on your switch). If the housing/stem get really lubed, they aren't going to move as well.

[viscid tapir]

so what i wipe it off with a cloth

i have tx ap stabs

but which one

bdz for wire or 205 for housing

if i add little it rattles

if i add more it is sluggish

[real wasp]

I'm lazy and I use 205 for both.

I've had success putting a light amount of lube in the housing, then dipping the end of the wire in 205 and inserting.

Lubing stabs is really finicky. Your experience of a little rattling and more being sluggish is common because the Goldilocks zone between the two is tiny.

I would personally lean on a tiny bit too much lube, so that 1000 presses later when it's spread out better it'll be right.

[viscid tapir]

i wasted so much money

i got 205, 105, bdz and 3023

enter does not rattle at all

it is like it is stuck almost

[chrome raft]

I have a custom keychron, i bought gateron yellows and have been using them for like 3 months, but i decided that they feel too "heavy" and it tires my hand out very quickly, what switches do you guys recommend that arent as tiring for your hands when typing on cause this feels very tiring for my hands

[torpid cedar]

I'd be up for getting another keybaord. I''ve been rocking this havit one without too any issues. I want something a bit more media key support (mute,volume etc..) but still retains low profile blue switches. Any recomendations ? This is what I use https://amzn.to/3PuiPdg

[real wasp]

You could either get different switches, or you could buy some lighter springs and swap them in.

Akko CS sakura switches feel great (even better lubed), and are notably lighter than gat yellows

[boreal rivet]

any mechanical keyboard lovers

i love mechanical keyboards

[amber tartan]

awesome keyboard

[unkempt dome]

Nice keycaps set

[sonic cape]

soon those will go on neo65

[viscid tapir]

then i would recommend gateron reds they are a bit lighter than gateron yellows only difference

if they still feel too heavy i would recommend gateron whites

but gateron whites are very light

i also went from yellows to reds because they were lighter but for gaming came back to yellows since reds have a bit worse return

[chrome raft]

can anyone reccomend a good keyboard for me to upgrade to from 100 AUD?

[amber tartan]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/355038649540

amazing deal, terrible shipping

[chrome raft]

no like a specific model

I want to be able to walk into a store and purchase it

[viscid tapir]

what are smoothest keycaps

pbtfans keycaps feel like dry paint despite costing as much as gmk

[sonic cape]

gmk shine?

[amber tartan]

1. have cheetos fingers
2. rub them over your keycaps
3. use for a week
4. profit

[viscid tapir]

they do but so do all right

pbt less than abs but both do

any keycaps i buy feel like dry dusty paint

not able to find any smooth keycaps

[boreal rivet]

Pbt is a lot harder to shine than abs

[chrome raft]

are keychron good

[boreal rivet]

Yes

[viscid tapir]

i only like keychron keycaps

because they are smooth

but they keep breaking

it is common issue due to thin plastic that fits on the stem

[chrome raft]

I want full sized blue switches on my keyboard and I want to have an 80-100% keyboard

but my budget is 130 AUD

[boreal rivet]

Wrong

[viscid tapir]

how so

poor and thin plastic

[chrome raft]

I also want RGB on mine

do you have any reccomendations?

[boreal rivet]

Their cap stems are probably out of spec

Or it’s just another Revan™️ Skill Issue™️

[viscid tapir]

are you gonna start ranting again

check posts and do some research before you talk nonsense

[boreal rivet]

rant?

why would i rant about you

you're like

one of the dumbest people I know

[tiny spire]

good list?

[sonic cape]

yes

maybe some lube and stuff?

[tiny spire]

my friend has all the lubes and kits

[sonic cape]

good

i have the monsgeek m3

great board

gasket full alu and its hefty

[tiny spire]

differences between the m3 and the m1?

other than the dial

and i am guessing tkl?

[sonic cape]

size

yes

m3 is tkl

i have the lilac one

[tiny spire]

beautiful

i wanted the white so it is something different

but they only had the black one in stock on the website

[tiny spire]

that looks so cool

[sonic cape]

yeah and i have

cream yellows in them

[tiny spire]

are these keycaps good too?

[sonic cape]

so almost the same as yours

[tiny spire]

that's sickkk

you like yours right?

[sonic cape]

oh yeah

lubed and tuned

[tiny spire]

that's good im sure ill like mine too

better than the razer dog shit i have 😭

[sonic cape]

i mean apart from yunzii

i havent found a great gasket

for this price

[tiny spire]

gateron g pro or the akko ones i picked?

at least from the videos the akko ones sound nicer

[sonic cape]

akko for sure

[tiny spire]

sweet

[sonic cape]

i have the non-pro

[tiny spire]

for the price too

[sonic cape]

maybe

you can try Pianos

the yellows are great in the end but there are other options

or cs clear

[tiny spire]

if they are on the website i am ordering from sure

i wanted everything together plus they are doing a like 20% off

[sonic cape]

cream yellows are a safe bet

[tiny spire]

so my thing went down to like £130

[sonic cape]

nice

[tiny spire]

very good price

[sonic cape]

are you buying it from

uk site

or US site?

[tiny spire]

uk site

[sonic cape]

US site has better prices

[tiny spire]

uk.whatgeek.com

[sonic cape]

check it

[tiny spire]

yeahh but shipping

[sonic cape]

well

[tiny spire]

and i have to wait a while

[sonic cape]

USD is

[tiny spire]

kinda impatient

[sonic cape]

kess then gbp

[tiny spire]

let me check

[sonic cape]

well maybe you can save a lot

they have pretty cheap shipping + taxes

i bought from Akko and they had the board + ship/tax 6usd cheaper

then the EU site

and faster

EU site shipped from china

and US from usa

[tiny spire]

the monsgeek keeb is £1 more expensive on the US version of the website

so i don't think i am losing out on much

plus free UK shipping for me

don't have to pay for shipping

[sonic cape]

wait

it's 99gbp right?

[tiny spire]

it became 98

on the us version

[sonic cape]

ok fair

the white one is discontinued

[tiny spire]

they came to similar prices

so i think for convenience sake imma orer from the uk website

[sonic cape]

akko US sends gifts with orders

[tiny spire]

oh?

[sonic cape]

like 10 free switches and stuff

[tiny spire]

do you suggest i order off their website?

[sonic cape]

but it's probably not worth it

[tiny spire]

i will end up paying extra for shipping tbh

us to uk

ykwim

[sonic cape]

yeah

im in central EU

so anything UK

[tiny spire]

ohhh

[sonic cape]

is too expensive

[tiny spire]

hahahaha

[sonic cape]

you shouldve stayed

in the EU

[tiny spire]

yeah not much difference between the two websites

just quicker shipping for me in the uk

5-15 working days

[sonic cape]

hmm

well the monsgeek is a safe bet

[tiny spire]

ong

ykwim?

[sonic cape]

damn

yeah

buy it

[viscid tapir]

i am literally stating factually correct facts

and you are here being offended and ranting about me like you have a crush on me

it is pathetic

been a year and you still cry over me

[boreal rivet]

wait how am i being offended

I couldn't care less about you lol

[viscid tapir]

then why do oyu always tag me

[boreal rivet]

stop gaslighting me please 😭

oh I just want to get a reaction out of you

[viscid tapir]

any single time i enter chat you keep crying over me like 12yo or 13yo emo girl having crush on me

[boreal rivet]

I know you'll always give me one because you dumb as hell lol

[viscid tapir]

has no one breast fed you today

maybe if someone breast fed you you would grow some intelligence

i know your parents never gave you any attention

this is why you come here

[sonic cape]

roasted

[boreal rivet]

sorry I was in a match

stop ranting about me!!!!

why do you seem so obsessed with me 😭

im going to report you to the mods for stalking 😡

[viscid tapir]

"no you"

is this the best you have got

[boreal rivet]

yeah currently

im busy gaming rn

ill come up with a good one later if im feeling it

[viscid tapir]

cope

harder

[boreal rivet]

thumbsup

[viscid tapir]

"thumbs up"

little man

[amber tartan]

i fucking love the keyboard community, we are so passionate about keyboards

[viscid tapir]

so passionate it brings out elitists

[storm ivy]

At the risk of bringing it back to Keyboards, if I could interrupt you two flirting with each other for one second...

[viscid tapir]

be my guest

[storm ivy]

looking for a keyboard, total noob, would like 100% size, do a little video editing so some macros would be great, some gaming etc, what would be a decent place to start for me????

Treat me like I know nothing, because I know NOTHING about keyboard excet the ones you get from like Logitech and the like!

[viscid tapir]

akko and keychron have those sizes

that are affordable

and pretty decent with ability to customize

[storm ivy]

good place to start! Thanks so much, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions ;o)

[viscid tapir]

you are welcome

[stray cloud]

that's just about any hobby tbh

[viscid tapir]

true but imo from all communities i was a part of keyboard community was the worst

second worst was moba community and third was mbti community

[cunning anvil]

assembly half done

first time skeleton casing

i feel the surface I'm typing on

update: these tactiles suck to play games on, too heavy

[viscid tapir]

all tactile switches with tactility on top imo suck for gaming

too much travel after tactility

[cunning anvil]

what's light, tactile and silent?

[viscid tapir]

depends on the spring

and how bump on stem is designed

[cunning anvil]

i just wanna lighter one for now, ill figure out bump spot later

[viscid tapir]

lighter tactile switches are hard to game on

because you feel like you are slamming them to bottom

[real wasp]

If you're gaming, you're basically always bottoming out on account of you want thing to happen right now and that switch needs to be pressed harder because harder press = better action.

As long as the tactile bump isn't large enough that is causes missed keypresses, you're fine.

[cunning anvil]

i want lighter ones for typing mostly , but also to offset how chunkey the tactility feels

[real wasp]

I play rhythm games, and the glorious pandas on my new keyboard were actively hurting my performance because of the heavy spring and heavy tactile bump at the top. Swapped the 67g springs for 55g springs and they feel amazing now.

[cunning anvil]

would about 40 be too light

[real wasp]

40 on pandas? Yeah, you'd run into issues with it being unable to go back up past the tactile bump.

Note that those spring weights are bottom out force. The actuation force is 45g on the 55g springs, same as a gat brown/red

[viscid tapir]

i rarely bottom out and usually ready them so push them a little in before

i could not game on tactile switches except for brown switches i really liked tactility in the middle

[viscid tapir]

anything under 50 would be a problem for tactile switches

my ergo switches have a problem with 55 spring

[cunning anvil]

awh

[viscid tapir]

i really like 45g for typing

but 60g for gaming

45g has really poor return

60g can feel a bit exhausting to type on but much better return

[real wasp]

45g actuation is fine, but bottom out is going to be light.

The speed at which you can press keys is basically unaffected imo. I can vibrate at 16-20 presses per second on both light and heavy springs.

although heavier springs are going to tire you out faster.

[cunning anvil]

ig ill just look for light linears then

if i can't get tactile that light

[real wasp]

I recommended them above, but I was really impressed with the akko CS sakuras. Really light, but not crazy light, and feel great even if you don't want to lube them

[cunning anvil]

oh i think i had that in my corne!

[real wasp]

They're cheap, and akko has really been pushing what budget switches can do with their newer lines.

[cunning anvil]

i switched to milky yellow because different board, but i liked Sakura

also it comes in a cute box

[real wasp]

Hell yeah they do

[viscid tapir]

i switches from milky to normal

they seem to be far better lubed and less wobble, binding, deeper

[viscid tapir]

they make good products i sort of regret getting keychron instead of akko

lavender switches are also very good for the price and decent lubing job

[real wasp]

keychron makes really good products as well. Both are great for modding, as well

[viscid tapir]

i agree

if i had gotten white i could had made more builds

more keycaps fit white and color builds

recently got pbtfans wob keycaps but they are far too rough

looking for really smooth keycaps

but seem not to find any

[cunning anvil]

hmm, lavender is 36gf ± 5gf tactile?

that looks like something i want to try

ah, not silent im guessing

[viscid tapir]

lavenders are quite light

oceans are even lighter

sadly not silent

silent switches are weird because they feel like they have rubber or cotton on bottom

this is have stem is muted

they do not seem sharp

[cunning anvil]

i think it feels fun, like bubble wrap

[viscid tapir]

this is true

i have tested 46 ir 48 switches so far

i can tell you most start feeling the same

just different weights and a bit sound

[cunning anvil]

tactiles in general or switches in general

[viscid tapir]

switches in general

i personally prefer light tactile switches

with tactility in the middle

but tactile switches are also pretty similar

u4t tactile switches i probably least loud

but they are heavy

[cunning anvil]

Cream Yellow Switch:
Switch Type: Silent Tactile Switch
Pin:5 Pin
Operating Force: 45 gf/cN
End Operating Force: 50 gf/cN MAX
Pre Travel: 2.00mm
Total Travel: 3.30mm

found this one, looks like it fills most my ideas of what i think like

does that pre travel mean its bump is a bit later?

[hasty relic]

ive always wanted to try creams

[hasty relic]

I daily drive alpacas, and my secondary keyboard uses silent alpacas. I can tell the difference between the two, but if you take into account why I have the silent alpacas (to be used when I don't want to piss off my roommate when they are trying to sleep), the difference in feel really doesn't bother me

If you're considering silent switches, definitely try a few out (as with all switches), and consider modification (also a recommendation for most switches)

Although on a personal note, the difference between lubed/filmed silent alpacas and stock silent alpacas is only noticeable if you really listen. Stock is already really quiet

[chrome raft]

wdym by worse return?

[real wasp]

Pre-travel is the distance before the switch actuates.

[warped tinsel]

good place to shop for keycaps?

[chrome raft]

Is fantech a good brand

[real wasp]

budget?

[warped tinsel]

115$

[hidden quail]

How do i put the shift back on

Im trying to clean it and something happen

[viscid tapir]

well lighter the spring is lighter the return is

if you are typing this does not really matter but if you are gaming when you need to spam a button you need better return

top out is faster and heavier

with tactile switches you need enough return to surpass tactile bump

[void geyser]

They are wire type stabilizers

there should be a little clip inside the keycap that they slot in

don't forget to lube them as they can turn rattly if not

[arctic shuttle]

Where are my Copre boys at

[neon plume]

Is this keyboard useable? I’m not too bothered about sound I just don’t want it to break until I have enough for an Epomaker Skyloong GK75. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08GM1Q1GM?

Would it be safer to get a Logitech K120?

[stuck brook]

Just buy a typewriter

[viscid tapir]

i believe keychron or akko would come you cheaper

and offer you more

logitech is far overpriced

you could get redragon or rk65 if you are really on budget

[neon plume]

Yeah keychron is famous for making £10 keyboards 🗿

[viscid tapir]

keychron and akko literally make best budget custom keyboards

[neon plume]

when I’ve saved up enough I’ll look at the V1

[viscid tapir]

i am happy with my keychron v3

[stray cloud]

took a while, but i just finished lubing my switches.

sounds and feels nice, but it's tedious

[real wasp]

I bet you feel more relieved than anything.

Just wait until you get your second set of switches, pull them all apart, and then the memories of how much work is ahead of you come flooding back

The work is done. Just boot up monkeytype and type the tedium away

[gleaming eagle]

what the difference between cherry mx brown and gateron red

[viscid tapir]

completely different

brown switches are always light tactile switches with gateron or cherry

while red are linear switches

[gleaming eagle]

whats tactile and linear

[viscid tapir]

linear switches are smooth from top to bottom no click nor tactility while tactile switches have a tactile bump in the middle like what you would call a click but no sound

[gleaming eagle]

cool

[wind socket]

arso

[arctic shuttle]

What's up

You don't like my Copre

[wind socket]

not for me

[median slate]

😳 Where’s the spacebar

[wind socket]

@median slate

[median slate]

Nah, that’s my tab button, that’s ain’t no spacebar

Far too small

No, I shouldn’t be shaming here, that’s average

[arctic shuttle]

Mans uncultured, mans don't know JIS

ANSI Cope seems like it

[grim bronze]

What do people think of the Microsoft 600?

I actually like them, pretty decent for the price. In my highschool computer rooms most computers had Logitech k120s, but there was a couple that had 600s and they were so much better

[arctic shuttle]

I only know stupid expensive custom keyboards

[keen sphinx]

I want black widow v4 yellows

And shadow key caps

[boreal rivet]

go buy it then

[amber tartan]

why is the 23u so god damn expensive

[boreal rivet]

Hard to get topre numpad

What did you expect

[unique pumice]

what would be a decently priced good keyboard?
i am usually on membrane - mechanical and all experience i had personally i prefer them a lot to something like fully mechanical keyboards

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[amber tartan]

not really a fully mechanical keyboard technically

[boreal rivet]

That’s beside the point

[amber tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-anguish-venom-snake-scream-big-boss-gif-16644725

[dawn dragon]

look C L E A N

i wish i had such a keyboard

[keen sphinx]

Is it possible

To put yellow switches in it

[boreal rivet]

yes

[shell locust]

Hi guys just got RK84 and wireless not working

[amber tartan]

broken

[rugged quartz]

are razer green lazer switches good

[chrome mauve]

I'm not a fan of how they sound

granted I don't like tactile switches in the first place

[shell locust]

can i fix it

[chrome raft]

is the wooting worth it?

[spiral barn]

Great question, it seems awesome, has great features, but it is expensive, and doesn't sound great if that matters to you, but really it depends on how competitively you are playing/how much you're willing to spend on a keyboard

[spiral barn]

And the steel series Apex pro line have rapid trigger and the ability to double bind key presses

And are on sale on amazon, so similar features for a lower cost(while on sale), and are in stock so no wait

[halcyon ginkgo]

Does anyone have experience working with the ACR Pro 75 kit from akko? Mine is arriving tomorrow and I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for mods or knows of any tips and tricks when working on it? This will be my first keyboard build and I’m really excited but I don’t want to mess anything up

[sonic cape]

i have with pro 68

[sonic cape]

tune the stabs, put in the extra foam and depends what switches you got, the cs clear arent the most popiest

[uneven shuttle]

my corsair k65 mini has started chattering on some of the keys .....

is there anything one could do about that except replace the switches which tbc i am willing to do if they fail but i'd also like some preventative measures

[halcyon ginkgo]

Wdym by tune the stabilizers?

[undone haven]

hello guys, anyone have tips for very cheap custom keyboard? (trying to get into that stuff)

I'm in Taiwan and I require recommendations on affordable, Taiwanese made mech keeb.

Preferably local brands so I won't pay 100% tax on Keychron.

Or just default to Ducky One 2 TKL?

depends on what keycaps youre going after

amazon has some half-decent PBT sets

or you can go GMKs from various websites (omnitype, KBDfans, etc)

and of course there are a million different other options

wdym by cheap?

Cheap for keyboards is like $5, Cheap for custom could be $100 for the board

my favorite "entry level" board is the Nk65 EE

I use it as my secondary keyboard (primary is mode envoy I got 1-ish months ago)

Are you looking for a complete kit? (Meaning it has board, switches, and caps)

If so, you could also look at the gmmk from glorious

my first "custom" board was the gmmk 1 60%

And of course there is always the Rk61. Not the greatest quality, but imo, not bad for its price

Also heard decent views of the Halo65

get a tes68 and then throw it away for a realforce in a year
