Unless you prefer the shape, and software for some reason, there are lighter options for cheaper.

[river wharf]

Did any of u guys build ur own keyboards? I bought the stuff needed for it a while back but haven’t felt the need to build it yet

[cunning anvil]

yeah

[crisp patrol]

yea

[river wharf]

how was it. im trying to get myslef to assemble my stabs but i just cant get myslef to do it

got the zoom75

[crisp patrol]

mine was pretty easy

it was just time consuming

has to harvest an old board and solder the switches to a new pcb

[drifting mauve]

How do people fuck up this bad? 💀

[sonic cape]

all topre users mentioned

[cunning anvil]

in the bin

[muted karma]

japan

[cunning anvil]

so true

[drifting mauve]

Ever feel dysphoria with having a standard 60% rather than an HHKB?

But HHKB's are too expensive.. HHKB layout kits are also super expensive
and the only option is to do full on diy and hand wire the thing, fabricate a case and build the whole thing yourself

At least I have another project to live for

[cunning anvil]

hhkb vault35 :D

then again, 35 >.>

maybe commission a 60 pcb?

[drifting mauve]

||Wow you don't know that much wow||
No.

Ok well your new to this

welcome aboard!

:D

[cunning anvil]

whatchu looking for in a keyboard? im bored and kinda wanna make a pcb

is handwire quieter?

oh wait i thought

i messed up names somehow

my b!

[drifting mauve]

Its funny.. you dont know what you want in a keyboard until you have like 5 of them
then you realize you want somthing else again
then you keep buying and spending and thinking and buying and spending and thinking
..then you realize the best keyboard for you is the one you already have

[cunning anvil]

me continuously getting smaller keebs

[drifting mauve]

psyco

[cunning anvil]

im down to 36 rn, but looking to design a 30 key

which can double as a 15 key

(split 30 key bluetooth board in the works currently)

[drifting mauve]

If I could go back and tell myself back before I bought any keeb
"don't listen to your dumb child brain.. don't buy an rk61, instead buy the cheapest HHKB lite 2 you can find on ebay and never ever build a custom mech keyboard no matter how much you struggle to resist the urge"

[cunning anvil]

its slightly bigger than a credit card >:D

gonna make a keychain wallet board basically

i may have gone too deep

[drifting mauve]

I kinda want to buy a really really cheap HHKB lite 2 and get rid of all my expensive boards so I can kinda go back to being a somewhat normal person

[cunning anvil]

i cant stand row stagger tbh, but ortho is... not easy to find

all my current boards :D

(i have a type)

does not include my custom mouse

which is kinda jank :c

[drifting mauve]

non staggered boards seem comfy as heck.. but I couldn't imagine looking at that all day
I wouldn't feel any sense of pride its just too ugly

[cunning anvil]

funny, i find the reverse to be true for me

asymmetrical stagger just bugs my eyes

tbh katana60 stagger hits a sweet spot

symmetrical, consistent stagger

[drifting mauve]

I just want an hhkb so I can
||be a poser||

😈

(I don't know how to code)

[cunning anvil]

the bottom right board is the katana stagger btw

[drifting mauve]

:P

people who shit on any normal mechanical keyboard aren't real keyboard enthusiasts.. (exception being if there is some comparable option for cheaper)
real ones will go crazy over some old rubber domes from the 80's and even typewriters
eventually your gonna probably discover topre (which you just kinda sorta have) "space alien switches" and alps and all kinds of other standards out there besides cherry mx
honestly keyboard is keyboard :) if keeb work for you then keeb is keeb

[cunning anvil]

those all sound like mx

honestly keyboard is keyboard :) if keeb work for you then keeb is keeb
real

[drifting mauve]

all of those are cherry mx standard
cherry is not only a brand of switch.. think of it like the ATX desktop component standard

the whole switch
the only differences sometimes is that some switches aren't compatible with some PCB's
For example | 3 pin (plate mount) | 5 pin (pcb mount) -But it doesnt have more connections.. its 2 little plastic nubs on the bottom

[modest condor]

^

[drifting mauve]

correct

[cunning anvil]

hehehe

[modest condor]

just buy whatever switch u want...

[cunning anvil]

:c?

i havent found a choc switch i like yet

also waiting on the silent tactiles to debut and i dont look forward to desoldering from an integrated board tbh

[crisp patrol]

pro2 off buyee

[crisp patrol]

all them blow

[cunning anvil]

shut

mx is tall

and that enough disqualifies

[crisp patrol]

tall feels good

low profile feels like shit

mechanical low profile

chiclet is fine but have fun making a custom chiclet board

[cunning anvil]

exactly

gimme a good low profile option for making customs and ill do it

until then ill stick to whats avail

[cunning anvil]

i guess gateron ks could also work

where can i even get ML

BUT, cfx spacing

smol

xda is mx spaced?

thats a whole 10mm x 6mm bigger

fair

but im gonna stick to choc v1

and wait for the ambients

easy to find 17mm caps

unless i went philly min

hmm

I just opened up a temu membrane keyboard and my eyes were burning from how gross it is

[spiral mica]

I broke it in half

And separated every part

Yuck

[coral ferry]

I think the fumes might kill his entire household

[whole pebble]

hey! i wanted to know what are some of the best flagship full 100% gaming mechanical keyboard on the market? in terms of software features offered, the amount of buttons? etc??
no budget limit, and i really dont care about the switch performance or anything. i just like features

[spiral mica]

apex pro

[whole pebble]

this?

how does it compare to razer v4 pro?

[spiral mica]

better in every way

it has magnetic switch

and prob has a better software

[whole pebble]

wait....are they better than mechanical?

so this is the best magnetic switch keyboard?

[spiral mica]

wooting is the best

but apex pro is close enough

[whole pebble]

it says analogue keyboard

[spiral mica]

its the same thing

[whole pebble]

oh okay cool

so do they work like analogue triggers on a controller or something?

[spiral mica]

kind of

it uses hall effect

[edgy plaza]

Guys does anyone have a razer tartarus v2? Review plz

[crisp patrol]

in terms of feel no

[sonic cape]

youtube

[crisp patrol]

it's a razer keyboard so it'll be overpriced and sub par

[edgy plaza]

Yea i saw some but i everyone sayd its the best or its garbage

[edgy plaza]

Also yea but i dont have space

[crisp patrol]

I'd me more concerned about the rest of my setup than buying a one handed keyboard

[sonic cape]

just stay away from it

ive seen dozens of pro´s and youtubers say that these one handed gaming keyboards are bs

just buy a regular good gaming board or whatever

i was probably one of the best battlefield players in central europe in terms of score per match etc etc and managed that on a corsair k40 membrane board

so just stick with a regular board

[edgy plaza]

Well congrats and ok ill see what i can do

[edgy plaza]

Ok

[edgy plaza]

And whats a cheap around 80 euros gaming keyboard? (Mechanical if possible)

[sonic cape]

no need to congrats just saying to not waste cash on bs

[sonic cape]

what size ?

full size or 60% or what

[crisp patrol]

favorited

I can't edit but I am buying a drawing tablet once I dig myself outta the pit of keyboards I wanna buy

[modest condor]

[cunning anvil]

how many realforce can one person really need tho

[crisp patrol]

professionally drawn realforce

[crisp patrol]

I'm only buying one

[cunning anvil]

what else would a person need

🤔

[crisp patrol]

more realforces

[cunning anvil]

you said youre only buying one tho

sus

[crisp patrol]

is 2 topre boards not enough

what about 3

[cunning anvil]

zapybara seems cool

[crisp patrol]

thinking about sticking a cip pcb in a realforce numpad

sounds pretty peak

[cunning anvil]

cip?

i just searched topre sounds and

is it supposed to sound kinda dry/rattly?

and loud

so loud

ambients sunrise sound like an interesting switch

wish theyd get in stock soon

nocturnal too

slightly better

but still loud

eh

[cunning anvil]

sad

[crisp patrol]

why is it so wet goddamn

[crisp patrol]

type-s might interest you

[cunning anvil]

no

[crisp patrol]

topre sounds good

[cunning anvil]

sounds loud

[crisp patrol]

my pro3 was hardly loud

idk

it just sounds weird

oh you got water in the background

lol

[naive leaf]

What mods can I do without desoldering my keyboard

One I can think of is tape but idk what else

[edgy plaza]

i like both but full is my way to go

[finite mica]

anyone know a good pink keybaord for around £50 - 60

[spiral mica]

akko

[boreal rivet]

hello kitty realforce

[spiral mica]

yeah good luck finding one under 60 £

[sonic cape]

akko

[sonic cape]

check out Akko

[finite mica]

thats like double my budget

[boreal rivet]

exactly

so why not quadruple it and buy hello kitty realforce

[edgy plaza]

Akko? Thats new. Ill check it out

[spiral mica]

isnt it like 500 usd

[crisp patrol]

is that real

[crisp patrol]

they're not that good in terms of cost aside from maybe their keycaps

[muted karma]

yes

[spiral mica]

they are alright, the plastic is not cheap and sounds decent with slight mod/unmodded

[crisp patrol]

I've used a set and yeah they're pretty decent for the price afaik

[vocal slate]

Lo, i need some recommendations, must have the following;

Must be UK ISO
Southfacing RGB, hotswappable
Must inc numpad or at least a 96%
Must have wireless/blutooth, preferably 2.4ghz, usb or all
A knob or other media controls

Was thinking Keychron Q6 pro (but cant find it for sale anywhere) or Epomaker TH96, any others i should consider?

[cunning anvil]

realforty

when

[cunning anvil]

thats a forty?

[vocal slate]

lol thats at a reasonable price

[naive leaf]

Not everyone has $250

[bitter oar]

don’t feed the trolls

[tall latch]

guys im selling the hhkb pro 2

thhis is a momentous occasion

[bitter oar]

leave me alone :>

shill.

[tall latch]

trust me bro he doesn't want it

it's almost dust now

[worthy summit]

hey guys, quick question. i have a broken razer keyboard, it does not register any keystrokes but the rgb still works. i already got a new keyboard, is there a way to have the old keyboard on display, with lights on, without plugging it into a computer? won't it break if i plug it into for example a phone charging usb block?

[spiral mica]

it wouldnt break

unless the power brick is faulty

[boreal rivet]

5v power supply

A phone charger should work if the output voltage is 5v

[worthy summit]

thanks guys!

[tall latch]

you want it?

[tall latch]

I bought it for like 400aud from marketplace like 2 years

so I'll sell it for like 220aud

so 144usd

[prime mirage]

Seems overpriced for a used $400 keeb

[winter perch]

What do u guys feel about the akko mod 007b he? I know its been out for a while but i just want to know

[crisp patrol]

wooting

[tall latch]

Find me one that's 120

I Implore you

[tall latch]

Atrocious take

I'm going to shoot myself

Also how tf you find that on superbuy

Search on superbuy is ass

Overpriced is crazy

[boreal rivet]

Should’ve bought one while I was in china

Feeling like I need one for work 😭

I learned it over time thanks to those caps on my realforce lol

[tall latch]

Geekhack vinyl is crazy

[muted karma]

even know of sellers in the EU that sell for 145€ with 19% vat

[crisp patrol]

har har

[muted karma]

Nope, friend of mine got one from him already

[worthy summit]

hey ppl. what yall think about logitech g950?

https://www.logitechg.com/nl-nl/products/gaming-keyboards/g915-low-profile-wireless-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html

[spiral mica]

interesting that it uses choc

but just like other gaming keyboard its overpriced

and not that good

[boreal rivet]

Exactly you should buy realforce instead

[tall latch]

topre propaganda spotted

opinion rejected

[boreal rivet]

It’s not propaganda if it’s true 🫡

[drifting mauve]

Topre go shishwshishwshish

[drifting mauve]

Logitech, Razer, Corsair, and the common consumer best buy microcenter brands are generally overpriced or mid at best
The deciding factor I've usually seen is if the software has some feature you really like, or if you neeeeed the media buttons
..but generally there are better boards out there for the same price and often even cheaper

Recently I've been thinking of buying an hhkb

But I don't wanna spend $200+ on a keeb 😭

Lite 2?
It's not topre but is it any good?

[boreal rivet]

no

[drifting mauve]

I've seen them for as low as $30 on ebay

[boreal rivet]

maybe there is a reason why they go as low as $30 on ebau

[drifting mauve]

Like.. even just to try out the layout without breaking the bank?

[boreal rivet]

no

[worthy summit]

allright, thanks

:)

[crisp patrol]

[spiral mica]

then just get a hhkb layout mx or something

[modest condor]

i think i paid around 130usd for my Pro 2 from China

thats with international shipping

[crisp patrol]

hhkbs cost less than their mx equivalents if you know where to find them cheap (cn market)

[graceful rock]

what price im looking at for a decent cheap mechanical keyboard with like brown switches or quiet?

[spiral mica]

[graceful rock]

and its like prebuilt and such?

big brands like logitech are not worth it?

?

[graceful rock]

issue: argentina availability of hardware is so-so

[drifting mauve]

Being financially responsible while being a keyboard enthusiast is impossible

I refuse to spend more than $75 on a build

I just wanna build my endgame keeb and get this shit over with tbh

but that's not quite how it works

Its like chasing horsepower
"If I tuned the carb like this and put some new headers on it I could squeeze another 50hp out of it I swear"

Just like keyboard people are always chasing a better and better sound

I'm so tempted to get rid of everything and go back to a membrane board I swear

[cunning anvil]

me when im about to drop $120 on pcbs assembly

just one more prototype and ill get my endgame

i swear

[drifting mauve]

I would hate to build a $200+ board and then it turns out I want a different layout, or aesthetic, or aluminum over acrylic.. then turns out Ile probably stop using it in a few months
I want to build 1 expensive keeb and have it last life
But its like you don't know what you truly like until you've tried literally everything
swirches are one thing but then there is layout, wired/wireless/bluetooth, rgb, underglow, weight, etc etc

I rlly thought a year ago that the rk61 would be the last board I would ever buy
I was all like
"oNg I'm just like everyone else with a small keyboard with rgb ong ong"
snot violently runs down nose

[cunning anvil]

i just want a wireless boarb

small one

really small

[drifting mauve]

40%?

30% 💀

[cunning anvil]

15 key x2 split paired

so 30

[drifting mauve]

pain 27 (or whatever its called)?

[drifting mauve]

🫡

I was thinking this

[cunning anvil]

pain27 yeah

good stuff, staggered tho

[crisp patrol]

nonexistent shift

[cunning anvil]

yeah its the pain 27 not the pain 28

[graceful rock]

i just want a good mechanical keyboard that is pre assembled for cheap

[drifting mauve]

Same bro.. same

rk61- case likes to crack
wk61- hot swap sockets like to pop out
tester68- case likes to crack in fricking half
redragon- the name redragon sounds like another unrelated ||nsfw|| brand
literally any sub $20 used gaming keeb- most likley not hot swap.. also probably 100% layout with media keys and takes up a metric butload of space

[graceful rock]

so, which?

full size

logitech is good hardware quality, no?

[drifting mauve]

Honestly I give up
keyboards are a horrible hobby

[graceful rock]

oof

[drifting mauve]

logitech is very hit or miss

[graceful rock]

g513, g815?

[drifting mauve]

honestly qc issues only shine through if you mod your keeb all the time like alot of us do
otherwise you don't have to worry so much

[graceful rock]

i see

as for prebuilt not really hotswappable full keyboards?

[drifting mauve]

also fyi there is nothing you can do on a full size that you can't do on a 60%

[graceful rock]

numpad

[boreal rivet]

literally just buy a hhkb from china

[drifting mauve]

exept have a physical numpad correct

[graceful rock]

just prefer all the keys available

wish i could get a 106 keyboard too

for no reason, just to have all the keys that exist

[drifting mauve]

You could get a 96%

then its compact and you have a numpad

[graceful rock]

hmmm

that could work

g815 is a slim one

[boreal rivet]

fc980c

[graceful rock]

through, customization is going to suck since it was released after the g hub transition (no lgs support)

argentina here, so availability is something

high tax payments for imported products

and shipping

[drifting mauve]

ROCK POW

[tall latch]

that looks

(I hate side legends)

[crisp patrol]

an effort was made

[sinful scarab]

Hello everyone!
I hope all of you is having/had a great day!
I am coming here because I'm looking to buy a keyboard that probably doesn't exist - so I might need some help to get the right parts to build it...!

Here is what I'm looking for:

96%, 98% or 1800 sized keyboard
ISO-FR layout
Low profile
Any kind of tactile switches

Because this keyboard doesn't exist I thought of buying a keyboard with full heigh switches, an ISO layout and the right size and keycaps, like the Keychon K4 Pro or the Cooler Master MK770, then changing the switches and keycaps!
Unfortunately, both manufacturers advised me against after reaching them because they couldn't tell me if it would work.
K4 Pro ISO https://www.keychron.com/collections/french-iso-keyboards-collection/products/keychron-k4-pro-qmk-via-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection
MK 770 (an ISO version exists) https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/peripheral/keyboards/mk770/

So I need to go DIY but I don't know anything about keyboard building.
I just know that I can probably use these keycaps:
https://keychron.fr/products/keychron-france-iso-layout-low-profile-abs-full-set-keycap

Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the right direction, please? I would greatly appreciate it!

[spiral mica]

keychron k13?

not the standard 96% layout but it has a numpad

and iso

[sinful scarab]

I didn't know about it and it looks super cool! Unfortunatley, it doesn't fit my needs 😦

[hybrid tinsel]

Is there anyone available who could assist me with my keyboard? It's a SteelSeries Apex 5, and the space bar simply wont go down anymore. Apparently its something to do with the equalizers.

I honestly didnt know where else to go to ask about this cause YouTube videos werent helpful

[bitter oar]

take out the spacebar keycap and send a pic

[hybrid tinsel]

excuse the disgusting junk ive had it for like 2 years

[bitter oar]

can you press down the switch (the blue thing)

[hybrid tinsel]

yeah the switch goes down and up as normal

it aint sticky

[bitter oar]

unlikely that it’s broken, but just to be sure

then the stabs are issue, probably broken off

[hybrid tinsel]

broken off

damn

[bitter oar]

they seem to be plate mounted, take tweezers press down specific part of the stabilizer housing and pull them out, there are youtube videos how to do it

[hybrid tinsel]

one tiny piece of one the black things is broken i think

[bitter oar]

oh you could

[hybrid tinsel]

the piece that i put pressure on to take them out

isnt there on the left side

the left little thing

it just comes out whenever i take the right out

[bitter oar]

get new stabilizer housings

plate mounted

[hybrid tinsel]

you think thats the problem?

[bitter oar]

it seems you assembled them incorrectly

how did you manage to break them btw

[hybrid tinsel]

they were working fine earlier then i took them out

just to check them out

and now theyre fucked lmao

when i tried to put them back in, which i thought i did right

[bitter oar]

the wire ends should go through the middle section of the pole part

[hybrid tinsel]

then i put the switch back

and it judt dorsnt push down

[bitter oar]

you just assembled them incorrectly

just put the wire through the middle section

and make sure you placed the poles themself the right way

[hybrid tinsel]

its like

let me show a pic from the bottom

i thought i did it right, they slide right into the actual keyboard ut maybe i put the metal shit in wrong

[bitter oar]

what about the other one

[hybrid tinsel]

you saved me

turns out i put it in the wrong hole

[sinful scarab]

Same thing, I didn't know about it and it's super cool looking, but I need exactly what I've listed because of tons of reasons 😭

[bitter oar]

ignore them.

[sinful scarab]

I did find some low-profile keycaps, but then I don't know where to find the rest of the parts (I've never looked into DIY keyboards)

It is a deal breaker unfortunately

Else I could go with the available, full profile (is that the correct way to say it?) keyboards!

Exactly! So I'm pretty sure I need to build it myself

I did find low profile keycaps!
https://keychron.fr/products/keychron-france-iso-layout-low-profile-abs-full-set-keycap
But that's all I could find to start a build 😅

[boreal rivet]

Buy leopold

[boreal rivet]

Idk tbh

Didn’t put much thought into that ngl

[main lotus]

Hello there Keyboard folks: Im looking for a new Keybaord, currently i have Razer green switches i like the Feeling, but i want something significant more silent, you got recommendations ?

[wicked elk]

You're right about it being "light". It's barely noticeable.

[tall latch]

Cherry MX Brown best tactile switch on earth ever

Holy Bobas? Wtf is that

[woven shard]

Anyone else here have a Moonlander? Or am I the only crazy one?

[chrome raft]

Can anyone with my with this

It keeps doing stuff like e is opening my file explorer

[spiral mica]

prob win lock or soething

[harsh belfry]

waited for these for about 9+ years, and they're finally happening

https://apos.audio/products/linus-tech-tips-keycaps?sca_ref=5267541.vk0UQi7Lkr

[spiral mica]

bruh it doesnt support anything below a tkl (at least the ones with a standard design)

[harsh belfry]

? I think you mean ones with a non standard layout. all the keys are there for a standard 60%, 75%, TKL

heck the embed literally has a smaller than TKL board

[spiral mica]

some 60% uses 1u right ctrl,fn and win

and 65% uses a shorter rshift

[harsh belfry]

that'd be a non standard layout

[spiral mica]

how about 65% and 75% then

[boreal rivet]

This is just gmk carbon but with ltt novelties

And it’s cheapshit reverse dyesub

[modest condor]

thats a pretty shit kit tbh...

''With thick 0.5mm PBT keycaps''

so 0.5mm is thick?

did they mean 1.5mm?

[spiral mica]

wait it says 0.5?

I read it as 1.5

thats like really thin

[modest condor]

it says 0.5

so its gonna sound like shit

[spiral mica]

even my cheapest dye-sub pbt set is 1.5 mm

[muted karma]

won't support most 65% boards btw

also 💀 0.5mm PBT 5 side dyesub

with no actual product images, just renders

[modest condor]

they dont even have ISO support smh

[harsh belfry]

ooft

[modest condor]

''but also sound profile''

even basic ABS is probably above 1mm thickness

some cheap abs from aliexpress

[harsh belfry]

yeah nah

I'll keep waiting thanks

[modest condor]

and the kitting sucks

LTT even built custom keyboards before...

[harsh belfry]

theres a close up of them in the latest vid for a total of 6 seconds

[modest condor]

https://i.imgur.com/820zJ8V.png

[harsh belfry]

they look ok'ish but not worth the price

[muted karma]

colors look bad

warped a ton

and even as blurry as they are there the legends don't look especially sharp

[harsh belfry]

.5mm they'd warp if you looked at em funny

[modest condor]

this does not look straight

[muted karma]

yea then don't make 0.5mm PBT dyesubs

[muted karma]

it's not

[modest condor]

but 0.5mm is considered thick when it comes to keycaps

[muted karma]

that is thinner than DCS

[modest condor]

someone should buy them and compare them to 20 dollar keycaps from aliexpress

[harsh belfry]

lol, just measured the thickness of the caps on my old cherry mx-board 3.0; 1.26mm

[muted karma]

I got 30€ keycaps that they pose no challenge to

[modest condor]

[muted karma]

jc studio caps are too op

unironically very big recommendation if you want decent beige (PBT) caps

regardless of budget

[modest condor]

i dont like PBT

[muted karma]

works well on some boards

like the idb

[modest condor]

PBT works on Topre

im gonna assume its a typo.. no way they are actually 0.5mm...

[muted karma]

yea I doubt it

doesn't matter, they still have all the actually detrimental features of 5 side dyesub

[modest condor]

https://i.imgur.com/r4z3HSY.png

[harsh belfry]

gotta be a typo, even the thinnest crappy caps I've gotten from aliexpress are 1mm thick

[muted karma]

thickness alone does not help

DCS is 1mm

and is good

[harsh belfry]

unless they're talking thickness around the stem?

[crisp patrol]

but thock

thoccy keybort

[modest condor]

[muted karma]

can't expect good deals if you buy weird layouts

(though realistically they would not be much more expensive)

XMI prices got kinda stupid sadly

[crisp patrol]

$25 abs blanks

[muted karma]

literally 29€ caps

[crisp patrol]

enchantment table

[muted karma]

that is an actual language that is in use today

or do you prefer them without sublegends

that ain't R5

just bad lighting + bad camera + angle + giant ass cherry lip on that board

good board

good caps

would recommend

it's a kijou fyi

my second preferred layout

• the kind of mounting works best in a smaller board

[long mica]

Opinions on custom parts?
Switches
Gasket
Keycaps

[spiral mica]

I can only open the first one

but I had quite a good experience with akko cream yellow

especially i boards with less foam

[long mica]

Alr

[long mica]

[long mica]

keycaps

[spiral mica]

gmk67 is a gasket mounted keyboard

not a gasket

keycap is up to preference

[long mica]

sorry

I don't know all the words 😭

It would be my first custom

[spiral mica]

if you can find it I would say sugar65 is better than the gmk67

but gmk67 is alright

[crisp patrol]

what language

hebrew?

[long mica]

can't find it in the uk

[boreal rivet]

90 quid office clearance hhkb from ebay

is better

[modest condor]

prob not tho

[modest condor]

i love 9 degree , so kinda wanna try 11

9 degree with 19mm front height is yummy

Another reason to buy realforce

[modest condor]

i did and im typing on it right now

[chrome raft]

This is the best gaming keyboard.

[jaunty veldt]

I have a question about Macro keyboards if anyone is familiar.

Do all of these keyboards need to use the software from the seller page? Or can I just use any macros software made to keybind these things?

My other question is that I see a lot of "Mute" buttons etc being sold and used by streamers, does that work the same way as having a mini macro keyboard? Im seeing the software for the ones im looking at just has you map the keys to a existing key on your main keyboard vs giving you extra keys to use. Do any of them work like this or are they all just boards you bind to a key on your main keyboard and within certain programs you just bind it to a key on your keyboard and then bind that key with the one you want on your corresponding macro keyboard?

Also for things like what I mentioned earlier with specific tasks like muting all audio input or output, would that be something you have to program or is that more so a keybind you must make for the existing mute button on the software being used? Because im thinking a universal mute button is cool but it sounds too easy to be true and im not sure thats how it works

[fiery vine]

guys I know this isn't a mouse channel but there is none
Im wondering if I should replace any of my gaming accessories.
I have a hyperx alloy fps pro as my keyboard and a razer deathradder essential mouse which one should I replace if any of them?

[tardy saddle]

Are any of these accessories currently broken? Are any of these accessories lacking features you actually need? If the answer to both questions is "no" or "not really, but..." then don't replace them.

[fiery vine]

nope nothing wrong with them at all! Thanks for the answear

[tardy saddle]

No problemo. To be clear, I'm not trying to shit on anyone's parade - if you've got the money and replacing them solves a problem or otherwise makes you happy, go ham! But also... don't replace what isn't broken? 😄

[fiery vine]

I thought about changing them because I had my keyboard for 2+ years and my mouse was cheap but thats really it. You are right If its not broken why replace it?
I'll put that money into my desk.

[muted karma]

it's not a good mouse

but why replace it if you got no good reason to replace it

[chrome ocean]

I see Drunkdeer a75 on Amazon Canada. How's their rapid trigger compare to steelseries and razer? I'm gonna check some reviews when I get back to my pc

[spiral mica]

its one of the better ones

better than razer

steelseries is better tho

[modest creek]

Rainy75 any good?

[boreal rivet]

Realforce is better

[bitter oar]

Yes

Prolly the cheapest fully built alu keyboard

You can work around to get some leobog hixx kit + switches and keycaps for cheaper, but the hi75 is prolly made from slighly cheaper aluminium

If you don't want to build your keyboard youself rainy 75 excellent aluminium choice at the price

It ain't perfect ofc most of the issues prolly being gasket inconsitencies, but no truly keyboard is perfect especally when preferences go in mind

[vale flint]

i can only get 80+ wpm on a laptop keyboard/flat keyboard 💀

[bitter oar]

not bad at all

[crisp patrol]

no

[modest creek]

Looks good haters

[bitter oar]

oh, i blocked them all

[modest creek]

Lol are they the trolls of #peripherals

[bitter oar]

can someone recommend me a cheap keyboard
they: hhkb , topre better most of the time instead of reasonable answer

It’s not worth to argue with them

in short yes.

[modest creek]

That's funny I mean I'm all about nice stuff but rainy75 seems decent for the price for sure, some people are just cranky

[bitter oar]

there’s nothing particularly wrong/ deal breaking about the rainy 75 itself
the poorest thing about it is prolly the gasket inconsistency, that’s about it

on a typical gaming keyboard the list of complaints would go on forever tbh

[modest creek]

Exactly

I've almost bought keyboards dozens of times and bailed because I just wasn't convinced but it's cheap enough where it can be an 8 or 9/10

[crisp patrol]

"trolls"

👍

[boreal rivet]

why even ask for an opinion if you seem to have already made up your mind about the product

looking for validation again? 🤓

[shell locust]

best keyboard mod for for silence?

[vivid leaf]

Lubing + put foam

Or use more quieter switches.

[shell locust]

lubing what

foam put where ?

[vivid leaf]

The switches a little bit.

[vivid leaf]

You know like the bottom where the keyboard back panel meets the keyboard stuff.

So that it reduces sound resonating inside the empty parts of the keyboard.

[shell locust]

oke ill try

ty

[vivid leaf]

Np

[shell locust]

I think I don't have enough patience for this

[vivid leaf]

Haha I had that issue as well when I was trying to mod my membrane keyboards a bit.

It takes some time.

You really only need a dash if these are mechanical switches.

But it will consume about 10-15 mins of your time.

[vale flint]

you should never be asking thst if you're going to so it yourself

[boreal rivet]

Wrong

[modest creek]

Because I figured someone might actually provide information "no"

[boreal rivet]

Information was provided, you not liking what it is another matter

🤡

[late zinc]

I don't think you read anything at all

the information provided was positive, the two people he responded two are the ones that just said "no"

[tall latch]

nuhuh

anyways lads enough chit chat

I'm getting a GMK87

[boreal rivet]

He asked for an opinion and got one, albeit short.

If he wanted a reason, he would've asked.

Instead he says "looks good haters"

its pretty easy to see his preconceived opinion of the keyboard just from that

I should know, he did the same thing with his headphones lmao

[modest condor]

keyboards are all about preference , personally i would not say the rainy75 is bad , but i would not call it good , as its not up to my standards

[worthy fractal]

agreed. i have a ||dell|| keyboard

[modest condor]

if u are happy with ur keyboard thats all that matters

[worthy fractal]

yes i love it

idc if its a dell or whatnot

it feels good

af

[prime mirage]

100% but there are some exeptions like its not prefrence wether mechanincal is better than lets see if i can say it without throwing up membrane

[modest condor]

there are people who prefer membrane keyboards

[boreal rivet]

average techbro's opinion on keyboards

[modest condor]

but ye , membrane is shit

[prime mirage]

Fr that’s not even a opinion that’s a fact

[boreal rivet]

i agree

the model m is terrible ewaste

[crisp patrol]

yeah chiclet is unusable clearly

[prime mirage]

Any dell/hp keyboard sucks prove me wrong

[boreal rivet]

Probably a better keyboard than yours 🤡

[muted karma]

you could do worse than hyperx keyboards for sure

which are hp

[prime mirage]

I never said there wasent worse

[cunning anvil]

nice mouse

[boreal rivet]

Thanks the left button doesn’t work

[cunning anvil]

dang

what interface does it use?

[boreal rivet]

I don’t know

[muted karma]

serial

[simple pine]

I bought a keyboard from AliExpress and I’m gonna mod it

[simple pine]

I like the color

[crisp patrol]

that poor rctrl

[quiet hull]

Anyone got any good full size cherry mx blue keyboard reccomendations? (idc if it's cherry mx blue as long as it feels like it and sounds like it). Let's say at absolute maximum I'm willing to spend $200 (lower is ALWAYS better tho)

I'm using this rn

it's an 11 year old keyboard that's been through multiple people

[zealous solstice]

steelseries apex pro tkl yes or no?

[bitter oar]

unless you can get it cheap no

[zealous solstice]

It’s discounted at half the price rn

That’s why I asked

[bitter oar]

how much

[zealous solstice]

Was 150 now 99

[bitter oar]

well, that’s technically not half the price but -33% price cut, not worth it.

[zealous solstice]

What about the wooting?

Because I’m just trying to find a alternative to the wooting without the big price tag

[bitter oar]

search “budget custom keyboard” and choose whatever

unless you want hall effect

[zealous solstice]

Meaning?

[boreal rivet]

wait a year or so for the chinese to get rapid trigger right

[zealous solstice]

I was thinking of getting a epomaker keyboard if not

[bitter oar]

i mean, two thirds of those cheap custom kbs have something to do with epomaker, which one?

[zealous solstice]

Aula f75

[bitter oar]

yes, i happen i own one

[zealous solstice]

Reviews of it ?

[bitter oar]

youtube

[zealous solstice]

And does the switches matter or is it all aesthetic?

[bitter oar]

keycaps you mean?

[zealous solstice]

Nah I mean switches

[bitter oar]

switches do make feel, sound difference y

if you want to buy the f75 pick the cheapest leobog reaper version, i would not pay extra for the ttc crescent? and the third one which i forgot

don’t expect to get the best switches with a $30-60 keyboard but, they’re good. for $30-60 keyboard.

[zealous solstice]

Oh ok thanks for the help and advice

[bitter oar]

they also have lower actuation point than advertised, atleast it seems from my experience. you may or may not find that nice, for me it didn’t cause me to mistype more often than usual

rog rx switches on the other hand yikes

[zealous solstice]

I was mainly looking for a keyboard with the rapid trigger effect

But I might wait out on it

Because atm I have a really crappy membrane keyboard and want to upgrade

[boreal rivet]

? they are great switches

[bitter oar]

yes, they’re good but due to the lower actuation force and point, they made me often mistype

[boreal rivet]

LMAO

[bitter oar]

i don’t know what’s about them but they’re the only light switch i have skill issue typing on

[chrome raft]

do you know any good looking and quiet keyboards?

i'm kinda new to pc's and trying to build my first good looking set up

[spiral mica]

define good looking

[modest condor]

[crisp patrol]

[modest condor]

[small sentinel]

how hard would it to bring back an old keyboard that the original Manufacturer discontinued (ie. SteelSeries MERC Stealth Gaming Keyboard) Linus did a vidio review of it awhile ago. IMO it was one of the best keyboards i have had. I cant find a replacement or anything that comes close unless you buy 2 or 3 devices to replace it. If anyone know a way to get something like this keyboard would be a great help>

https://youtu.be/KEa5F51Mku0?si=EQGLPKBW8XQc6joP

[chrome raft]

Idk, the only thing i know is that it has to be black

(and quiet)

I asked because i don't know which ones look good

It sounds wierd but it is what it is

[chrome raft]

ok, maybe i asked the wrong question

which types of switches are silent?

cos every site on google tells me diffrent things

[shell locust]

Rate my keyboard sounds i puted foam and 3 layers tape

[chrome raft]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

beautiful

[crisp patrol]

[modern plinth]

what do yall think of the ajazz ak820 pro for my first budget keyboard

any suggestions?

[brazen sentinel]

I put 10 layers of tape in my keyboard is that bad?

[naive flume]

What do you mean “bring back”?

you’d have to design and print your own PCB and then create custom parts to make them all fit together

Unless you mean you have one and it broke and you’re trying to fix it?

[lime ridge]

my old blue switch keyboard fucked itself over, any recommendations for a keyboard under 150 aud

[shell locust]

the foam was so thick I could barely close it

[lime ridge]

btw can anyone explain what is thock or poppy or creamy

[ionic briar]

lingo bullshit describing how a keyboard sound

[lime ridge]

if I wanted a keyboard kinda like blue switches but not as clangy idk how to explain, would you know any

I mean I don't mind modifying a keyboard

I kinda don't want to fuck it up though

also one of my old keyboards has hot swappable swappable switches so if you guys have any switch recommendations that would be appreciated

[ionic briar]

@lime ridge since you want clicky, kailh box white is one rec

[lime ridge]

I've kinda grown over the really loud clicky keyboards, but I do like the feel of them, are there any quieter ones with a similar feeling.

[loud nova]

Kb with deadening, lubed, O rings.

[boreal rivet]

realforce

[lime ridge]

explain in English please

oki

oh those are mods

I was looking at the aula f75 which sounded nice but idk how I would replicate that

not replicate it exactly but something similar

like switches wise

[boreal rivet]

realforce

[lime ridge]

could you send the link

[boreal rivet]

you got 2 eyes and an empty search bar

[lime ridge]

for keyboards like those would there be a large difference between wired and wireless (I'm gonna be playing competitive games with it)

[boreal rivet]

I wouldn't play a competitive game on any wireless keyboard

unless it's got a wireless implementation like mice

[lime ridge]

would you have any recommendations for wired compatible keyboards?

[boreal rivet]

I'm not aware of any keyboards with a wireless implementation like current wireless mice

and if it did exist, it'd probably be some gaming thing

[cunning anvil]

don't mice usually work with proprietary dongles

or at least the good ones

[modest condor]

yes

2.4ghz dongle etc

pretty sure there are wireless gaming keyboards , that use 2.4ghz dongle

[unkempt dome]

well yes
there's a lot of them
most akko wireless keyboard use 2.4

their hall effect keyboard looks nice too

[tall latch]

I hate topre stabs

[modest condor]

same

just cause i dont know how to tune them yet

[boreal rivet]

thats a genuine skill issue

the only tuning you need is a healthy glob of superlube

[tame thistle]

Pls don't kill me 🙃

[raw blaze]

w keybaord

Thats the one i used to use

[dreamy rivet]

Thoccc

[naive flume]

Akko’s wireless usually have noticeable latency

And quite shit range

[unkempt dome]

it's still 2.4 ghz

[naive flume]

With no benefits

I wouldnt game on it

[native salmon]

Recently built my first custom keyboard. Was considering getting the LTT keycaps however I unfortunately have the slightly less common 108 full size keyboard layout and it appears the LTT set only fully supports the more common 104 full size keyboard layout. It really is a shame that of all the extra keys to include apos went with redundant keys instead of supporting both 108 and 104 key layouts.

[naive flume]

That’s why you get a 60%. Almost all keycap sets fit

[native salmon]

I've tried 60% before however I always end up going back to 100% because I do end up using the full set of keys.

I happen to use software that utilizes the entire F row and numpad is just superior for number entry. I also find the extra 4 keys very useful for quick and easy media control.

[crisp patrol]

ltt set sucks anyways for the price iirc

thin pbt

[native salmon]

oof, probably better then that I picked up my secondary choice of keycaps

[bitter oar]

the ltt set has some warping issues

visible from the pictures

atleast

the price is a other thing. they are overpriced or pricey based on if you really want the asthetics

so, if you got that aliexpress seeming set if i’m correct, it’s fine.

chinesium dye sub pbt sets for 20 bucks are top

for the price

[native salmon]

it's Yunzii coffee cat, I purchased it on amazon for about that much

[bitter oar]

aliexpress keycap set category, you can buy it from ali too

ermm, it doesn’t matter. if you’re happy

amazon retailers just buy it and resell

[native salmon]

I'm aware

they feel fine and I have Cherry MX2A silent rgb red switches so it sounds great as well

[onyx aspen]

Hey gd day I'm looking for a pink gaming mouse any recommendations?

[native salmon]

https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/pro-x-superlight-wireless-mouse.910-005954.html

[ocean coral]

Gwolves Skoll Sakura hits 40$ on amazon if you keep an eye on it. I think they only have the small ones left. OG design from 2020 but built like a tank. Very similar to the old MS explorer shape. I have 3 Skolls and swear by them.

[native salmon]

My only concern with one of those would be the micro usb connector.

[carmine mesa]

guys im getting my first keyboard!!!!

custom

[muted karma]

have a skoll-s and it is absolute trash

• their support is useless

[modest condor]

Pulsar

[jaunty blaze]

100% i respect that

as a fellow 100% user

[dusty remnant]

finally got my boss to cave and let me get a Mech for work

[ocean coral]

Please elaborate. I have an original switch Skoll large that has outlasted every other mouse I have purchased Since 2020. The other two smalls have needed the right switch replaced after about 18 months but have continued to work fine. I have burned through mice about 3 per year otherwise. Define "absolute trash".

[muted karma]

Had so much pretravel i couldn't do a double click

Support never answered me (i know ot still is bad) so i had to bend the clicks with pliers to make it useable

[tall stump]

i think my keyboard is cooked 😭

those keys that are flashing dont work when i try bridging the connection between the hotswap sockets

[bitter oar]

opinion on sw-92sa lube?

[crisp patrol]

moral of the story: buy a good keyboard

like a realforce

[tall stump]

ok but what am i meant to do

cuz rn i cant type the letter p

[crisp patrol]

guessing the pcb is fucked somehow

[tall stump]

pcb fucked but i have 90 akko cream yellows and a keycap set

[crisp patrol]

if it is you could fix the traces via wiring otherwise you can take the switches and case and keycaps and ask for a refund for the pcb

[tall stump]

im putting stock stabs switches and keycaps so i can hopefully refund the whole board (redragon k630)

probably just gonna get like the epomaker barebones or something

[crisp patrol]

just buy keychron

epomaker sucks

[tall stump]

too expensive i think

[carmine mesa]

yooo the keycaps came early

they're so fresh fr

look at this beauty

[tall stump]

wow

[tall stump]

i unmodded my keyboard and now it looks and sounds like shit 💀

[crisp patrol]

good stock

no need for mods

[tall stump]

modded was way better

[carmine mesa]

lol

that looks fresh

[crisp patrol]

not enough case material

[tall stump]

what?

[carmine mesa]

still waiting for the keyboard and switches to come in

pleeease

[crisp patrol]

thin plastic case

[carmine mesa]

even though i ordered them yesterday i want them to come already

[crisp patrol]

need thick metal

[carmine mesa]

aluminum fr

[tall stump]

yea true trying to get refund or something idk

[crisp patrol]

alu and brass

[carmine mesa]

the keyboard i got is alu

it might sound better

might need to get lube for the stabs

[tall stump]

i have switches and keycaps and stabs but pcb is screwed

[oblique solstice]

Fire keyboard dude

[shell locust]

how bad?

[jaunty blaze]

sounds ok to me

It sounds better in person

[shell locust]

wow

nice

very cool

[jaunty blaze]

i like it

i thimk its pretty cool

[brazen yacht]

My dad has the same keyboard in his office

But it's a membrane keyboard with a slightly tactile feel

Also the travel is mechanical-like

[bitter oar]

for cheap keyboard it’s acceptable

plasticc

-y

[jaunty blaze]

its a nice board

[jaunty blaze]

AT102W

[crisp patrol]

probably more expensive than a f75

fr

does it have alps in it or nah

[crisp patrol]

huh

[crisp patrol]

give

hhkb layout

isn't

[crisp patrol]

keychron's is prolly closest

I could make one myself tbf

machined abs and custom plate

I think

oh sick

[chrome raft]

Just got the Razer Huntsman keyboard today and I like it, it’s my first mechanical keyboard so I don’t have prior experience to judge it off of, I like it. Feels a lot more smoother and more responsive than the membrane keyboard I had for so long. Nice

[modest condor]

akb vero

[cunning anvil]

totally legal keyboard building technique

[marsh nacelle]

can anyone suggest a wireless 96% keyboard with tactile switches for under $50 USD? Ik this is hard, but hope to see results. It just has to feel good, sound doesn't really matter. Also, I'm open to building the keyboard myself if needed to.

[crisp patrol]

just save up a lil more and get something decent

[marsh nacelle]

I'm still in middle school, how do you expect me to do that?

[shell locust]

https://tenor.com/view/gus-fring-better-call-saul-acceptable-acceptable-not-enough-mr-fring-gif-26294181

what do you think about GBPT Ocean its worth for 25$ i should buy?

[boreal rivet]

Focus on studying and buy something nice when you have money then

[shell locust]

do you like it?

[boreal rivet]

no

[tall latch]

your stabs need a bandiad and a bit

but overall its goo

d

[tall latch]

not judging by like

rk61 in 2024 is crazy

[cunning anvil]

smol

[shell locust]

putted pe foam its good?

and 3 layers of tape

[shell locust]

i mean keycaps

[tall latch]

the switches sound good im talking bout the stabs

[tall latch]

It's Doubleshot PBT

can't go wrong

whether it's glorious of Aliexpress

[shell locust]

nah

its dye sub

[shell locust]

so i dont need change switches?

[tall latch]

nah

[proud ember]

so im thinking of getting into custom keyboard, could anyone recomend me a hotswappable cheap 75% board ?i already picked some switch (gateron red) and i gotta find the other parts now

[spiral mica]

monsgeek m1

[proud ember]

thats not really cheap

[spiral mica]

its prob one of the cheapest custom keyboards

what is your budget anyways

[proud ember]

it cost 100+ euro

[proud ember]

150 max if possible ?

[spiral mica]

no it doesnt?

its like 100 usd on their website

prob even cheaper on aliexpress

[proud ember]

isnt cheaper there, but 100 usd is already a lot

[spiral mica]

well see if you can get leobog hi8 then

I have no idea how much those cost tho

[proud ember]

those are 50 to 60 euro on aliexpress

[spiral mica]

get that then

[proud ember]

seem like it can be wired, so thats good too me

[spiral mica]

??

all keyboard can be wired

[proud ember]

oh i didnt know that

i thought some were wireless only

[proud ember]

any recomendation on what to pair with that board ? i just need keycaps and a chassis now (unless im missing something)

[spiral mica]

what chassis

[proud ember]

never mind that

any keycaps recomendation ? and are gateron red switch decent ?

[spiral mica]

just choose whatever keycap you like

as for gat red personally would recommend milky yellow instead

I think similar price

[proud ember]

i like the feel of red switch, they go thunk

though i dond mind trying something new as long as its not clicky

[spiral mica]

gat yellow is also linear

[proud ember]

ill listen to a sound test when back home, thank you for helping

[bitter oar]

gat milky yellow based ol’ er option

[proud ember]

I might actually get gateron yellow, they sound better than just red

[graceful rock]

so, decent mechanical keyboard for cheap that is quiet?

whats wrong with something like a logitech g915 or a g513

[maiden flicker]

Question for keyboard people: what would this layout/design of the board be called? I quite like it but I don’t know what’s the terminology for it

I know it’s a TKL/87key but is there a specific name for this sort of big board for the keys?

[crisp patrol]

it's a model f

that's about it

[maiden flicker]

Thanks. I just really like the model f’s look and wanted to see if any other companies replicated that look but didn’t know what I was looking for. Thanks

[maiden flicker]

Gotcha! It is, but it’s a style I think harkening back to the model m. Thanks for the advise!

I am trying to see if I can find something in that sort of design that I can put custom switches in/hot swappable

[crisp patrol]

oh

I saw beige and red and thought model f

[drifting mauve]

it just gives me bought first keeb saw on amazon, and impulse bought glorious keycaps at best buy vibes

[noble yarrow]

should i get the boog75 or preorder keychron q1 he

[vocal shale]

Any good keyboards with a numpad with a similar design to the Apple keyboard? I plan on eventually getting a new keyboard and mouse for my M2 when I finally decide on getting a monitor for my desktop and well, I plan on using my M2 MB as a desktop again with my current monitor and well, I'mma need peripherals that aren't $400.
Also, I like the feel of the Apple keyboard just not the cost ya know?

Also, I could use my current peripherals but like, using a windows keyboard on MacOS is the most confusing and annoying thing ever.

[crisp patrol]

the extra f keys, clear, and = aren't too common on other boards but you could easily build something custom that supports that

macos should have plenty of different options for mapping software

realforce for mac also exists

@vocal shalehttps://www.realforce.co.jp/products/series_all.html

check out some of these

same layout

buyee.jp has them under $150 or so not counting ship

[marsh nacelle]

sure, agreed. I keep trying to find a membrane version of a 96% keyboard, but can't find any so I have to find mechanical one. Wireless is nice to have for it ( I need it for desk space)

[native salmon]

I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain all of Keychron's full size keyboards are 108 keys like the apple keyboard.

[noble yarrow]

should i get the boog75 or preorder keychron q1 he

[native salmon]

the Keychron has south facing RGB which is widely considered to be superior to north facing RGB

[noble yarrow]

idrc abt rgb

but ig its nice for keycaps

[native salmon]

The Keychron also has a knob, they're both 219 USD and they both ship in May so right now to me at least the keychron one is looking like the better option

[noble yarrow]

you think the keychron will sound/feel better?

[native salmon]

I'd have to look and see if there's any marketing material that shows how the keychron sound to be sure but I imagine they're both comparable in both sound and feel

[noble yarrow]

i dont think there is any but people have told me the boog soundsand feels really good for a rt keyboard

[boreal rivet]

why buy a keychron when you can buy realforce

[native salmon]

fair point

however the question here is between the boog75 and the Keychron Q1 HE

[boreal rivet]

realforce gx1 is better

[noble yarrow]

is it? ive never heard of it until now

[native salmon]

that sounds like a matter of opinion

[boreal rivet]

and

[native salmon]

I like reds, some people like browns. reds are not better then browns and browns are not better then reds

[boreal rivet]

and

[noble yarrow]

i cant find any reviews for it

also $50 more

or almost 50

[boreal rivet]

because it's japanese and expensive as shit

[native salmon]

what if someone doesn't like mushy domes

[noble yarrow]

ive only had two keyboards and hated both of them

[boreal rivet]

topre domes aren't what i'd consider mushy

[native salmon]

exactly, it's what you would consider better and what you consider is better is not what is better for someone else

[boreal rivet]

and

[native salmon]

and isn't a good argumant, do better

[boreal rivet]

you act as if they person in question has tried topre and explicitly stated it feels mushy

have you yourself even tried topre

[native salmon]

then I'd recommend finding one in store and trying it for themselves to come up with an opinion for themselves rather then blindly trusting the opinion of a random internet stranger

[boreal rivet]

by that logic he shouldn't be listening to what anyone says here

[native salmon]

yes, they feel alright if not a bit mushy, I perfer red switches, specificly charry mx2a silent reds

[boreal rivet]

LOL

quit larping bro

[native salmon]

true

[native salmon]

could you explain how you came to that conclusion?

[boreal rivet]

first you tell me they're a bit mushy then say you prefer silent reds

which are mushy

come on dude

[native salmon]

i'd describe them as smooth

[boreal rivet]

you are considering two different things

[native salmon]

yes?

[noble yarrow]

is it possible to find one of those in store lmao

but thats why you find a consensus and dont listen to a single person

[native salmon]

having both side by side right now I'd describe the cherry mx2a silent reds as smooth with a sharp bottom out and the Realforce switches as somewhat mushy similar but not quite the same as a membrane. to each their own though, you have every right to like what you like

[native salmon]

exactly

[noble yarrow]

i still dont know which to pick but i dont think i want to spend 50 more on something i cant find reviews on anyways

[boreal rivet]

I'm sure buddy

take a pic

I'll apologize

[native salmon]

I don't require the validation of an internet nobody

[boreal rivet]

[native salmon]

I don't have enough ego to try and logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into

[noble yarrow]

so what did you end up thinking i should go for

[native salmon]

I like knobs and RGB so I'd go with the keychron however my preference isn't king so if you're leaning more towards the boog75 then I'd recommend going with that one

[noble yarrow]

im pretty 50/50 rn the only thing that makes me want the boog is there are actually reveiws out for it

but i dont want to wait the month to get reviews of the keychron and then have to also wait for the shipping

[native salmon]

I've been looking through boog75 reviews and it does look like it's a pretty solid keyboard. North facing rbg is better for shine through keycaps anyways so it likes like a solid option

[noble yarrow]

this is pretty cool from keychron tho

idk if the others have it or not

i think the boog does

[native salmon]

adjustable actuation is the selling point of HE keyboards, the boog for sure has it

[noble yarrow]

nah the multiple actions thing

but pretty sure it has it now im looking more at

rappy snappy is cool on the wooting 80he also hopefully keychron would add something like it

[native salmon]

yeah, rapid triggers is a pretty cool feature, I have a razer huntsman with the same thing though it's not as good as the Hall effects implantation

I ended up recently getting an all custom cause the switches where to heavy for my liking on that one though

[noble yarrow]

i was thinking of doing something like this but then i felt like i would regret not having tried rapid trigger

[native salmon]

yeah, it's great in quick pace shooters
