main difference is that dye sub is slightly less clear on the edges tbh

there is but it's not really enough to justify only going doubleshot

i dont think most people have a problem with how pbt and abs feels on their hand...
to me pbt and abs feel pretty similar
until the abs gets shine

personally i hate PBT , sounds like shit compared to ABS

yea, like thats the main talking point about abs vs pbt, the longevity of that texture on top of your caps
crisp patrol
personally i hate PBT , sounds like shit compared to ABS
I can't really tell a difference rn
ionic briar
it depends on the textures too, like the akko pbt set i have brand new feels rather smooth and not that textured
boreal rivet
because its dependent on the mold
crisp patrol
I also kinda liked my old akko set
I have a tai hao set now and it's minimally different
mainly just sharper edges
ionic briar
yea, i think akko molds dont do a rough ish surface treatment
ionic briar
compare to the dye sub i had previously, def way smoother, but again, its the difference in molds

Do you know what size you want?

is that usually under 100?
huh, must not be filtering right
or looking on ebay is not the right move?
ah ebay was the wrong move
how much is shipping off of there usually
idk how much things weigh lol
is 1000g a reasonable estimate
neat

i wonder if theres a 4x10 topre

ill stick to my cheap mech protos ig
until someone comes out with something interesting with ec
or if topre proto costs drop
in stock?

i should shove some topre into an altoids tin
would prob be a cheaper way to proto

And not in eu so add shipping on that
they do heave regional stores or local distributors. This is logitech we are talking about, they have presense almost everywhere
online is not the only option 😉
I do buy a lot of logitech stuff myself in my region and I never ordered from logitech directly - it's more expensive than looking at the local stores and getting it there a lot of the time.
especially when promotions are in season

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard recommendation. I have this keyboard https://en.akkogear.com/product/blue-on-white-3084b-plus-mechanical-keyboard/ and I'm accustomed to this layout, so I'd like something with the same layout, or very close to it. My requirements are: TKL, 75%+, hot-swappable, vertical Page Up/Page Down/Home/End keys (whatever those are called), DEL in top right, CTRL on both sides. I'm willing to remap keys in software if necessary, but prefer not to. I've found a few that fit all of these requirements, but I am not really tuned into what are the reputable brands, or red flags to look for. So hoping that someone with more knowledge can recommend something. fwiw, my current keyboard is okay but has major chatter issues, and I'm sick of taking off the keycaps and switches every other day to blow out the dust.

does anybody have a link to a switches table that compares every switch from all major brands?
logitech/razer/corsair?
There's no physical shop around for me to try and i need to order a new one online cause my y key is broken.
also i never had cherry mx mainly cause i could never try them irl and so i always went with razer (green in the past, purple now).
I was trying to see comparisons with cherry mx to order the right one for my taste and i noticed browns are not clicky but tactile:
- i thought brown was the most popular that people always talk about????
- do people really like tactile? those ones i was able to try in stores and they feel like crap to me
From what I can gather without said table it seems to me like brand equivalents would be:
Razer green/purple -> Cherry MX blue -> Logitech GX Blue
Would that be a fair assessment?
Do you guys think I REALLY should give something else a try even if I used clickies all my life?
