peripherals

[exotic wyvern]

mine didnt come with extra gaskets, was like someone bought the board, took the extra gaskets and other extra stuff, then returned it

[ionic summit]

ah, I got lucky the return on mine was just simply bluetooth not working

had everything still in the box

[exotic wyvern]

nice, i didnt really mind since i got it for the price of a v series

[ionic summit]

I was like thanks for being a dumb dumb I'll take advantage of that.

[exotic wyvern]

i saw it in one of the carts in the isles and just grabbed it

[ionic summit]

can't remember what I paid 170ish I think

[exotic wyvern]

im pretty sure i paid like 120 or something

so im definitely happy with it

[ionic summit]

same here

I wanted a top plate, got tired of not having one on my drop 1800 layout

[exotic wyvern]

gave me budget to buy baby raccoons

[ionic summit]

never heard of that switch I'll do a look up

[exotic wyvern]

theyre long pole linears, pretty similar to ws morandis

[ionic summit]

I've basically modded kailh coppers but I miss my box jades

I call my modded coppers sloppy jades

just so much more key wobble in the stardard cherry + style stems

[exotic wyvern]

i couldnt do box jades, too loud lmao

[ionic summit]

I don't mind the click bar at all I love that it clicks and gives the tactile bit right at the actuation point

[exotic wyvern]

i wouldnt want to be that guy on a call with the deafeningly loud keyboard

[ionic summit]

click jackets I hate

like I absolutely dispise cherry blues

bought a razer keyboard with those once and returned it 2 days later

[exotic wyvern]

ive never used blues

[ionic summit]

they use a click jacket vs click bar really different feel to the switch

[exotic wyvern]

ill have to look into that

[ionic summit]

for me give me an actuation point around 1.2mm, a light spring around 20g and a click bar

[exotic wyvern]

only 20g? dang you must be confident

i like my springs around the 50-65 range

[ionic summit]

lol that's basically what my sloppy jades are

well modded coppers

I just wish they had the box style stems

I tried seeing if I could take the stems from my box whites and put them into the coppers but alas no joy

[exotic wyvern]

dang

[ionic summit]

lol most of my switches are kit bashed messes

[exotic wyvern]

the most ive done with switch modding is putting a pen spring in my caps lock bc i always press it accidentally

[ionic summit]

I've gotten pretty particular about my keyboard setup over the decades

I have to have an mt3 layout, I pretty much have to have a clickbar style switch now, I inverse my space bar so its more comfortable to hit. I've dialed in where I like the actuation point of my switches (ie buy switches with a high actuation point) and spring feel.

sry profile that's what I meant

layout would be 1800, full size, 60%

just misspoke

I'll have to check um out

click leaf vs click bar?

the silver bit on the bottom of the open switch?

ya

oh btw here's an animation of a cherry blue click jacket

they feel so sloppy

I often feel the stem hit the jacket and stop pressing which lead to so many miss presses

[exotic wyvern]

oh that seems really overcomplicated

[ionic summit]

ya to me cherry blues were the worst feeling switch

[exotic wyvern]

and it would probably change the click point as the switches wore

[boreal rivet]

They operate on the same principle

[ionic summit]

ya kinda figured when I saw one taken apart

do alps switches require alps boards or can you hot swap them into a keychron?

[boreal rivet]

What do you think

[ionic summit]

lol new pcb it is

though zeal makes a click leaf 3 or 5 pin

[boreal rivet]

They aren’t good

[ionic summit]

figured as much haven't seen too many people use um

honestly not really looking to build a full new board quite yet I just built my q6pro

and technically I'm not done with it

going to swap my modded coppers for crystal jades

[ionic summit]

which switch?

ah figured that's what you were refering to wasn't sure

[crisp patrol]

gat melodics >

feel a tad bit worse iirc but way cheaper

[ionic summit]

eh nah won't cheap out on qual to save a buck

thanks for the suggestion though

[crisp patrol]

zeal pricing is shit

alps are cheaper

by half

[ionic summit]

I'm not buying zeal switches

we were just discussing them

I'm going to get some crysta jades to mod a bit and swap out my modded coppers

[muted karma]

from what I heard people actually prefer them

since they aren't meme levels of tactility

[crisp patrol]

but why

just eat your wheaties

foam modded my drop alt high profile with 2 sheets of packing foam

made a incredible difference in the sound of my halo true switches

[ionic summit]

because must go fast

its just preference that's the whole point of custom boards ya?

[crisp patrol]

go fast as in what

[ionic summit]

typing

[dawn swan]

for me lighter switches makes me type slower not faster

too many errors

fastest i was able to reliably do something like monkeytype was kailh box navy which are like above 90g at 120-130wpm

with 99-100% accuracy

[ionic summit]

99% with around 101 wpm

[dawn swan]

then i use some shit switch like MX browns or speed silvers or most linears

and it drops to 110-120wpm with lower accuracy

the lighter the switch the more errors

i always bottom the switches out even with 90-100g

[crisp patrol]

😐

such short travel must feel like shit

[dawn swan]

the best i can do with linears on wooting two HE is 115-120

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/872694502157090827/1222330256615280700/image.png?ex=66318242&is=661f0d42&hm=d3631eb1bcd2b4e3190f6908cdf5fb7f6aac4020ffc346fbb2fa5ff9c449a147&

and that is a short test without punctuation

the stock spring weight is annoying and i swapped in some aliexpress mystery stainless springs that are probably closer to 70-80g

[crisp patrol]

wooting boards kinda suck in terms of sound

and feel too I think

not exactly the best typing board

[dawn swan]

i dont care what a keyboard sounds like unless its some horrific rattling squeeking noise i just care how it feels when typing

[crisp patrol]

I type with a pro2 mostly

[ionic summit]

I don't like a lot of travel if my switch would bottom out .1mm after the actuation point I'd be happy

[dawn swan]

and stem wobble

the first generation lekker switches have some horrible tolerances in the switch housings

supposedly being fixed with the lekker v2 in their 80% board

less wobble and tighter housings

i fixed it by buying raptor HE switches and putting the lekker stems in them

[crisp patrol]

😐

[ionic summit]

key wobble is why I hate these glorious kahil copper's

[dawn swan]

the least stem wobble ive ever seen is raptor housings with lekker stems even less than kailh box

[dawn swan]

some people complain about it being too tight and rubbing

[crisp patrol]

black clicky si is just good

80g + 140g spacebar

[dawn swan]

i would daily an ibm model M or model F if they had non obnoxious borders and low enough latency/NKRO

favorite for actually typing with

model F has NKRO but the converters suck

high latency and bad polling rate

[ionic summit]

are all model m's buckle spring?

that would be the old ibm keyboard I'd want

[dawn swan]

model M has the bullshit 2kro and membrane in it under the buckling springs

and if you have to convert to USB dont bother

only usable with a native PS2 port on the motherboard

otherwise the latency is horrific

had to change my timing in certain games using it

[ionic summit]

no one has put a new brain in an old M?

[dawn swan]

no the most people do is solder on a converter daughter board

and then run a usb out

as far as i know they are still slower than a cheap gaming keyboard even if you get a 1000hz converter

i guess if you use 60hz monitors

and dont care about input latency at all

also the other thing about those old listings is they will have rotted foam after decades

the foam sheet between the plates inside

[crisp patrol]

model m sucks

buy a model f

pass

[dawn swan]

https://sharktastica.co.uk/buyers/look_out_for

[crisp patrol]

sick

[crisp patrol]

just do a foam delete

ping good

[dawn swan]

one of the main reasons i liked using model M/F for typing was they were basically immune to key chattering

i have run into it on every single mechanical keyboard ive used except for wooting

i think i have a board with that type of switch and they jam if you press on them sideways at all

[ionic summit]

I mean have people gone as far to print their own housings?

[dawn swan]

its in some pile with other ancient boards i have

if i can find it now

none that i have on hand

[ionic summit]

I've got a bunch of old cherry switches in various states of torn apart

[dawn swan]

i dont think you can print usable housings unless its resin printed/SLA

[ionic summit]

I'm thinking resin ya

printer i have my eye on is the elgoo jupiter

[dawn swan]

it would be nice if there was more variety of HE switches which it looks like is slowly happening

[ionic summit]

I'm sure I butchered the brand there.

[dawn swan]

i see the only reason for even caring about non HE switches now would be the variety for customs

not really any advantage other than cost than that

less durable, less smooth, non reversible, require soldering or hotswap sockets that wear out/suck, prone to chatter, more prone to dust ingress or corrosion issues in dirty environment

non adjustable actuation and high debounce times

HE switches should cost LESS to manufacture

no delicate intricate leaf contact mechanism just a magnet and spring with sliders

[ionic summit]

just torn apart browns / reds

I tossed the blues

click jackets suck

I've got a bunch of kailh box switches

white's, browns, royal navy, jade, red

and the non box copper, bronze

oh I didn't throw away any of the kailh just the blues

lol I didn't even bother opening them 😛 I just tossed them after trying um

no

1800 layout worth

didn't realize I had gold apparently

didn't know

I mostly went threw a couple days seeing my typing skills just fail saw red and tossed them

and will disuade anyone from buying a click jacket style switch as a result lol

I really loathed those things

I kept feeling the jacket and would move on to the next key

had so many missed presses

but ya I'm eager to mod me some jades again

I rarely keep my switches stock I'll mod anything with a click bar in it at this point. A few non click bar switches I'm curious to try are the panda's

and maybe check out gateron at some point

[crisp patrol]

feel

[formal juniper]

Anyone ever use Red n tacky grease for switches / stabs. I got a ton of it at work and im considering lubing my switches

[bitter oar]

don’t please

[formal juniper]

would it be bad for the switches?

we use it mostly for metal on metal contacts on industrial machinery, but we just have so much it'd be free to me

[ionic summit]

krytox 205g0 is what I go for

[bitter oar]

long term likely

[bitter oar]

I’d suggest tribosys 3203 or 3204, if it’s not available 205g0. watch for counterfeits btw
for stabs dielectric grease or options above are ok ^

[ionic summit]

just curious because I haven't played much with alt lubricants, whats the diff between the tribosys vs the 205g0?

just viscocity?

[formal juniper]

Would divinikey be a good site to buy the trybosys from?

nvm theyre out of stock anyways

[bitter oar]

thickness basicly, ye viscosity. 3204 is more* viscous than 3203 and 3204* is similiar’ish to 205g0 ~

[ionic summit]

ah

noted I'll try the 3204 next time then

[formal juniper]

which would be better for a tactile switch between the 03 and 04?

[bitter oar]

sec my brain has stroke

[formal juniper]

the site im lookin at kinetic labs says they're both good for tactiles

[ionic summit]

I wonder if a thicker lubricant would be better for switches with a lot of slop in them.

[bitter oar]

mb messed up the tribosys naming, 04 is thicker

generally you want thicker greases for clickier

[formal juniper]

so the 03 would prolly be the better one for my halo trues

[bitter oar]

for linears less viscous is better

[ionic summit]

and I'm probably alright just staying with 205g0 for my modded click bars

[bitter oar]

205g0 is good all rounder, you can use it even for clickies just don’t overdo it

[ionic summit]

ya I've been using it for awhile now

[bitter oar]

I bought some greases from aliexpress, i’ll test it on switches and stabs how it’ll do

depending on if they seem okay and not like total garbage

[formal juniper]

I'm gonna order the 03, im considering also buying some custom shaped foam for my drop alt

I shoved some packing foam in there but I feel the like $20 for the custom shaped stuff might be better overall

[bitter oar]

did you do PE foam mod btw

[formal juniper]

I'm not sure what that is tbh

[bitter oar]

you put foam on top of the pcb and then socket your switches

[formal juniper]

no all my foam is under the pcb

it made a pretty big dif in sound for me

[bitter oar]

on cheap plastic keyboard it’s not*

[formal juniper]

deeper and less hollow by quite a bit

[ionic summit]

has any one tried the crystal jade's yet? I'm imagining pretty much idental switch to the normal jade's just with a clear housing.

[formal juniper]

but the drop kit they sell has that I believe

[bitter oar]

yes

[ionic summit]

ah good ol' drop board

I still have my 1800 drop board

[bitter oar]

how much for the kit?

[formal juniper]

25

[bitter oar]

a bit pricey… but, if you’re fine with it

[formal juniper]

it aint the worst for something custom cut to my board

[bitter oar]

yes, there are more pricey foam kits though, it’s still just foam afterall

if you don’t want the hassle of cutting some foam yourself, filling the keyboard with something it’s alright

[formal juniper]

are switch films worthwhile?

or a stem holder

[bitter oar]

stem holder absolutely, for one dollar

switch films, i’d say no

they don’t make that much difference

also, stem holder is really just ic claw

[formal juniper]

yeah i noticed that

also do i like need a switch opener

or can you do it yourself by anyway

[bitter oar]

you can do it yourself though switch opener makes it 5 times faster

or more

[formal juniper]

they're just so expensive on the site im buying the lube thru

[bitter oar]

4 clips on each switch that hold it together, it can be sometimes quite frustrating to open the switch

[formal juniper]

like $20-30 for a piece of plastic is wild

[ionic summit]

I like the acrylic lube stations

[bitter oar]

scam. you can’t buy aluminium one from ali for $4

[ionic summit]

but I do this somewhat often

[bitter oar]

and plastic ones for $1.5~

[formal juniper]

would those arrive in a reasonable time?

[bitter oar]

3-4 weeks for tiny orders

[formal juniper]

damn

I'm enlisting and not gonna be around after this weekend

most of this lube and foam will be here yknow 1-2 days

[bitter oar]

mmmm

well you can buy them. but literally what those keyboard companies sell are the same things you find on aliexpress

$1 ic claw for $5

[formal juniper]

yeah

I'll prolly just suck it up and pay more to get it soon

[bitter oar]

including shipping

[formal juniper]

amazons got smthn like this i might go for

[crisp patrol]

205g0 for topruh

[crisp patrol]

hhkb and realforce are plastic and don't need foam

[modest condor]

he did say cheap

[crisp patrol]

they're cheap wdym

$150 2006 pro2

[bitter oar]

not the worst price, though you can find them cheaper
if you don’t want to wait for shipping

[jolly sinew]

Hello all,
here is my recent build
Mode Sonnet (POM plate)
CK x Haimu Pastel Lemons (krytox 205g0)
Durock V2s stabs
CK CXA Lara

[jolly sinew]

Thanks. Previous build had some lighter linears that just weren't working for me. Stepped up to heavier springs and away from the HHKB layout. Kept the same cap profile though.

Here's the previous board

[gusty ridge]

Sonnet gang!

[jolly sinew]

I just hate that there's no delete key ._.

[gusty ridge]

Just remap the funny key to delete then

[jolly sinew]

How do I do this if I am very dumb?

Also what is the funny key

[gusty ridge]

Top right idk what its defaulted to

[jolly sinew]

It's defaulted to like f13

[gusty ridge]

Im not home right now but im pretty sure you can just load up via in a browser and change it no?

[jolly sinew]

I have no idea I have not really looked that hard

But I will try try again

[ionic summit]

fuji camera's?

[jolly sinew]

Minolta x-370 and Pentax k1000

Though I do have an xt-3

[ionic summit]

ah cool cool I have an xt-4 myself

[gusty ridge]

They're so nice

[tame thistle]

This is the kind of form factor I'd want for a compact keyboard

[cunning anvil]

beetlepede

[tame thistle]

Ohh, okay

I prefer those keyboards

[gusty ridge]

75% is the goat layout

[crisp patrol]

oh, replaces caps, that’s weird

[modest condor]

no

its not weird

best place for control

[civic lily]

unless you need to use it for gaming, it’s in an awkward place to press for games

[tame thistle]

Dam, that's interesting

[prime mirage]

im impressed by the wooting price i feel its actually cheap for what it is its alot of money but for what it is....

[civic lily]

IMO i feel like it’s a bit overpriced but i’ve literally never heard a bad thing about wooting

[prime mirage]

only thing against it is for keyboard snobs (like me) it dosent sound or feel crazy good but for esports its the best

[prime mirage]

generally id expect something like it to be in the $250-350 range

[civic lily]

sound is whatever to me, i play with closed back headphones on and i can barely hear my Cherry MX Red’s when gaming

also i’m grabbing a keycap kit from Drop

a stealth keycap kit

[prime mirage]

what line is it? like dcx gmk ext

[civic lily]

uhhhh

one sec lemme grab link

https://drop.com/buy/drop-dcl-shadow-keycap-set

[prime mirage]

i cant either but i still know what it sounds like

my keyboard is my son

[civic lily]

i’m currently using an MKey TKL with Gateron Yellow switches

they’re nice on the ears

[prime mirage]

those are okay for the price but at some point youll prob wanna upgrade them

[prime mirage]

never heard of that what brand is it?

[civic lily]

i switched to that one over my Corsair K65 cause my partner has been complaining about how loud the K65 is when they’re sleeping in the same room

[civic lily]

Montech

[prime mirage]

they make keyboards?

[civic lily]

this but TKL

[prime mirage]

how is it?

[prime mirage]

ohhh i see its a keychron v series clone

[civic lily]

it’s nice, the keycaps are REALLY nice, and i paid $90 ish for it?

idk i just love how the keycaps feel

they feel super premium

[civic lily]

yeah basically lol

keychron v is 75%, no?

[prime mirage]

nice! only thing is it looks like very thin gaskets

[civic lily]

i have no clue really lol

[prime mirage]

v is the series they have every layout in that series like v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v7 and up to 13 i think itis

its there budget plastic line

i have a v3

and a q3

both are 80%

my fav layout

[civic lily]

also i really hope the Wooting analog switches work for driving in Cyberpunk, i hate driving with kbm but i hate everything else with roller so i just play kbm

[civic lily]

is there a difference between 80% and TKL?

also my fav layout it probably 65% but Wooting didn’t have a 65% so i just went with the 60%

[prime mirage]

most would consider tkl 75

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q1

thats tkl

[modest condor]

what

[prime mirage]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q3-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard

thats 80

[modest condor]

this is a 75%

[civic lily]

this is 75%, not TKL

[prime mirage]

tkl is most considered 75%

[modest condor]

TKL = 80%

[modest condor]

no.

[civic lily]

TKL is full size, just missing the numb pad

[prime mirage]

like i said depends who you ask

[modest condor]

no? if they say a 75% is a tkl , then they have no idea what they are talking about

[civic lily]

i’m pretty sure TKL = 80%, and the one you’re saying is TKL is 75%, i’m pretty sure that’s just standard

[modest condor]

yes

ok shit chart

[civic lily]

better chart

[modest condor]

thats better

[prime mirage]

oh i thought tkl was both 75 and 80

[jolly sinew]

Yeah HHKB is an awkward layout. Not a fan

[modest condor]

75 is just a 75%

[civic lily]

75 is a cutdown TKL

[modest condor]

there is also something called 70% , a TKL without the F row

[civic lily]

odd

[prime mirage]

i hate 60 and 65 just for the fact they dont have a f row

i need it

[civic lily]

so it has the 6 keys above the arrow keys but not the 3 above those, i hate it

[modest condor]

this is a 70% or FRL TKL

[prime mirage]

thats not okay

[civic lily]

i use my 60% for gaming, i never use F keys when gaming

i play at a weird angle when i’m gaming so smaller keyboard is better

[modest condor]

but then u have the braindead people over at wooting calling this a 80% https://wooting.io/wooting-80he

[prime mirage]

arthritis go brrr

[civic lily]

that’s like a 78% lol

[prime mirage]

all the games i play need a f row

[civic lily]

actually the opposite lol

your hands are more strained when straight

[modest condor]

such a shit layout

and this forces u to use their shitty case

[civic lily]

yeah, it is what it is

[prime mirage]

i play msfs mainly which i have a full flight setup so i still sometimes need to use my keyboard not much but when i do its for the f row lol

[modest condor]

wooting 60 was good cause u could use it in so many aftermarket cases

then they threw all that out the window and made a shit layout

[civic lily]

i only play FPS games and SP games

[modest condor]

if u prefer a smaller keyboard , u could always use layers for F row etc

[civic lily]

the like 15 buttons on my mouse is more than enough

[civic lily]

yeah, also arrow keys on the wooting

uhjk for arrow keys when briefly tapped

is what i’m probably gonna do

wait

[modest condor]

personally i use hhkb arrows

[civic lily]

this makes no sense i’m stupid

[modest condor]

https://i.imgur.com/6YfeJzO.png

[civic lily]

yeah but when you tap them don’t they not do the letters? how does that work

like when you’re typing

do you have to hold the letter for a second

[modest condor]

for qmk , theres a few different ways u can do it

i have mine on a layer , so i hold the button i have set as the layer key

then i have access to whatever is on that layer

like how a FN key works

or u could have some sort of tap dance (hold = 1 , tap = 2 , tap + hold = 3 , double tap = 4)

19 knobs

all those keys and still only 12 function keys

they were already numbered for you but i actually numbered them again in a bright red font since you couldnt read them!

or this one that also only has 13!

[modest condor]

[civic lily]

oh... you cant count, my bad

[civic lily]

the wombat has 13! its actually pictured right here@patent belfry

do you want me to rephrase the original message to have a very very slight edit, to factor in the single extra function key?

Anyone tried to convert a 5 pin jst keyboard to type c?

I cant seem to make it work

[tardy saddle]

I'm unfamiliar with this particular situation, but assuming the keyboard is just using plain old regular USB, you likely have +5v, -data, +data, ground, and the 5th wire is either shielding OR some kind of (potentially proprietary) signaling wire. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/zoac2/how_would_i_connect_a_4_pin_usb_to_a_5_pin/

Cleaned my keyboard, so had an opportunity to redo some of my mods. Sounds just like brand new <3

[drifting flame]

Yeah fs. I wish i could afford some nice keyboards but this one is nice. I put new switches in them and lubed them then threw on some new keycaps

[crisp patrol]

fr

[sweet root]

fairly bargain basement as far as customs go but feels pretty good to type on , NK65 with GMK Pacific caps and blueberry tactile switches. The board was just over a hundred, the switches about fifty and the caps the expensive part a hundred and fifty

quefrency from keebio , gateron black switches and ASA caps I can't remember the name of

my favourite board the sirius with CAT caps and gat silent black switches

[sweet root]

don't know about the phantom yellow but regular gat yellows are excellent switches and very cheap

[vague robin]

my keyboard had water spilt on it and some of the switches died due to corrosion over time so I have to replace them so trying to do it for cheap

surprised nothing happened to the pcb

[coarse bloom]

Guys is this a good keyboard https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/keyboards/ch-9127114-na/k95-rgb-platinum-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-a-cherrya-mx-speed-a-gunmetal-ch-9127114-na

[sweet root]

corsair boards are ok , the switches they use are rather mediocre but it depends on how much you type and what sort of feel you prefer if it's for gaming I would probably look at a wooting but again maybe you want a full size keyboard me personally don't have a use for the numpad so would go for tenkeyless or smaller usually 60% or 65%

[crisp patrol]

I wouldn't call them ok at all

[spiral mica]

the most recent one is fine but very overpriced, everything else is crap

[civic lily]

does anyone know if theres custom keycaps that combine the spacebar and a close by key into one key?

[spiral mica]

no

[bitter oar]

I recently had k95 platinum iirc on hand and it was anything but ok

[long obsidian]

I have been reading LoFree Flow, anyone has this?
I have only seen good reviews, i want a counterviews

Have they only released one version? no small changes?

[ionic briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvPLetacpJ4
have you watched this?

[long obsidian]

Yeaa, one con is the price

But idk i found a local shop that sells them for 120

Which is had to make sure is the latest version and not an old one

So it seems they only have one version

[prime mirage]

The toes are unnecessary

[rich seal]

hey everyone, i have a 9 yr old laptop, and its keyboard is malfunctioning, like many keys need me furiously stomping on them to get something to display on the screen, and the faulty key count keeps increasing. Some keys, upon hitting, produces 2 outputs on the screen...what could be the cause?

[prime mirage]

Is it mechanical?

[rich seal]

no its the inbuilt ps/2

membrane

[prime mirage]

Okay sadly I don’t think anything can fix it

It’s a double clicking issue which on mechanical might be fixable

[rich seal]

any chance that it could be a mobo issue? coz my mouse is having problems too

[prime mirage]

No what’s the mouse

There is like a 0.0000001 chance it’s the motherboard

[rich seal]

a normal external mouse...i think the issue is with the usb port but not sure

[prime mirage]

Sounds like the mouse’s issue

How old is it?

[rich seal]

an year i think...

[prime mirage]

what’s the motherboard

And are they on a usb hub

[rich seal]

you mean like the model? i'll have to find it gimme a min

[rich seal]

no hub:)

[prime mirage]

Even just a year or smth

[rich seal]

the mobo is about 10 yrs old at this point i think...

my pc is nearing its end:((

[prime mirage]

I say it’s either mobo or both keyboard and mouse are broken both of these options seem likely

[graceful rock]

please tell me a popular afforable mechanical keyboard that is quiet and decent

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[graceful rock]

which model?

[cunning anvil]

quiet, mechanical?

popular? affordable?

ah yes realforce

[graceful rock]

is it decent quality?

???

[graceful rock]

please

[boreal rivet]

Realforce r2

45 or 55g

[graceful rock]

also i want full size not tkl or smaller sizes

[boreal rivet]

why dont you google it and have a look?

[graceful rock]

sorry, apparently nobody agrees with logitech mechanical keyboards being a good choice

[wheat sleet]

Okay for a first time mechanical keyboard user should I get clicks or tactile I think tactile but I don’t understand feedback graphs

[graceful rock]

what

[crisp patrol]

vastly depends but if you want something nice try gateron melodics

basically mx alps

[rich seal]

thanks for the support man I appreciate it!

[pulsar agate]

Just buy membrane lol

why?

It is quiet and you dont need to spend 100+$

[pulsar agate]

Lmao, you are hammering nails with your keyboard?

And what comfort in paying insane amount of money for the same functions

Just dont buy cheap rgb trash

[vocal shale]

Membrane keyboards are great, 10/10

Love em

[spiral mica]

I prefer microsoft on screen keyboard

why pay for a keyboard when it is included in your os

what is the point of paying money for the same function

[sweet root]

@spiral mica you're either a troll or you should go live in a cave up the side of a mountain , you obviously don't appreciate what modern technology has to offer , the keyboard is your first point of contact with your pc, and can be an uncomfortable and mediocre experience or a smooth , refined and very enjoyable one , a good keyboard will enhance your computer experience and give you a lifetime of uncomplaining service. Or you can stick to a membrane or on screen keyboard and make the whole interaction purely functional and completely without feeling or enjoyment.

do I do it the caveman way and just like tape it 😭

[pulsar agate]

Hot glue it

[spiral mica]

switch issue or plate issue

switch issue

idk how switches are like connected to the plate but

it looked like there was some kind of glue

I can show more when I. home

[tawdry hemlock]

Is keychron any good I got a SteelSeries keyboard atm

[spiral mica]

q and v series yes

k and c no

[spiral mica]

change the switch then

[boreal rivet]

No buy a realforce instead

[crisp patrol]

[bitter oar]

the clip on the top side has worn down

you can try bending it back, but it won’t fix the issue in the long run.
and it may snap

either replace the housing or the switch entirely

[crisp patrol]

cool ass artisans but resin for caps, especially a spacebar, sounds questionable to say the least

[topaz ledge]

https://customkeys.gg/builder/ I am building a website that let’s you build a keyboard with a 3d editor. (Similar to KLE but much easier to use and better representation of the keyboard). Please check it out! (It is a WIP so it is not polished and may break). Soon you will be able to export the 3d models (the case, plate and keycaps) to 3d print at home and eventually it will also generate the PCB and firmware 🙂 meaning you will be able to design a completely custom keyboard without needing to know any CAD, EE, or programming!

[torpid fable]

I was worried it would be a bit heavy for the stabs & lonely switch to manage but it manages fine on a 6.25u size, also it may be strange but I am a fan of how it sounds/ feels

[crisp patrol]

worry about durability

[bitter oar]

don’t smash your keyboard

[crisp patrol]

most intelligent dinky response

shit material/thin stems doesn't last long on a keyboard, especially a spacebar

[bitter oar]

I hadn’t break any stems from all my aliexpress pbt sets (that I didn’t physically torture)

only stems I had broke were on cheap abs keycaps

(spacebar)

iirc

[crisp patrol]

cheaping out always I see

do you even have a gmk set

[bitter oar]

how’s that relevant?

you’re exaggerating how things easily break

stop slamming your spacebars

[crisp patrol]

I'm not??

resin is brittle

[bitter oar]

yes you are.

[crisp patrol]

saying durability is a concern for a brittle material = exaggeration

good to know

[bitter oar]

send me a picture where someone wore down a resin keycap, / cracked under normal usage

[crisp patrol]

I wouldn't think resin spacebars are that common compare to normal 1u keys

[bitter oar]

weren’t you also exaggerating how easily stems break on those cheap sets aswell?

[crisp patrol]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/oiqoue/fixing_broken_resin_spacebar_stem/

[crisp patrol]

no

[bitter oar]

alr

[bitter oar]

well, even if it did happen, it may not be true for all resin keycaps, may have been bad piece.
I had cracked stems on my bloody board after taking off the spacebar twice.
Just be careful with them

[crisp patrol]

brittle material is brittle material

[bitter oar]

most gaeming keyboards come with brittle abs plastic

[crisp patrol]

they do yeah but that's not my point

[bitter oar]

it’s not an issue exclusive to resin keycaps. that’s my point

I have seen people ripping stabilizer stems apart
like how does that someone manage?

[torpid fable]

@crisp patrol I'm not sure if you know how resin keycaps are made but the stems themselves aren't resin, there's a plastic stem housing inside the resin

You can see it a lil bit on the second pic

and yeah resin is brittle but I tend not to take my anger out on my hardware as it usually saves money, keycaps have lasted me a year and none of them show any sign of wear as of yet besides the ocasional unsightly finger print

Conclusion being, yeah it's gonna break if you mistreat it

just don't mistreat is ez

[boreal rivet]

the stems are resin

Will there be a difference between the wooting 60he and 80he in terms of performance?

nope

[weary radish]

So just like new layout and thock

[weary radish]

Let me rephrase

[cunning anvil]

creamy thocc thock thokk,

marbly thocc thock thokk

[weary radish]

The new wooting 80 he will have a 75% layout and will have thock thock thock and thock

[boreal rivet]

LAME!

[cunning anvil]

where to find in stock ortho topre board

or even ergo at this point

no rowstag

that's all i ask

lol

[weary radish]

Kinda

[crisp patrol]

1: it's a chopped tkl layout
2: he switches sound like shit

does anyone know what this switch is?

Because its better than most

where did u get it ?

[random hearth]

it's a keypad

Sayo Device O3C

the keypad uses those switches

they're hall effect most likely

realforce is barely available here in argentina and its pretty expensive

[crisp patrol]

[rancid musk]

whats a good keyboard for silent switches? and or just general good keyboard to not annoy my self or coworkers but still get some feeling of feedback from the keys.

[spiral mica]

you should use kailh box jade

also if you can actually get a realforce/hhkb

silent and feels good

might be a bit expensive tho

[rancid musk]

I got a 34 euro sharkoon loud keyboard. and just starting.

its not worth it, but have this for a few years now and wanted to see some good range of silent keyboards 🙂 . to not disturb other people around me.

200 pound ?

hmm.. let me see how much they go on taobao, since amazon is saying 300 pound.

[spiral mica]

arnd the same

cheap on xianyu tho

like

[rancid musk]

219 euro on taobao 🤔

[spiral mica]

I saw some for under 100 pounds

on xianyu

but its kinda a pain in the ass to buy from xianyu

[rancid musk]

don't worry to get it is easy for me.

[spiral mica]

oh ur from china?

[rancid musk]

going there yearly, so its always a charm, to get some cheap tech =).

[spiral mica]

you need like chinese id for xianyu tho

[rancid musk]

Also no issue 🤔 wife got id.

[spiral mica]

nice

good for you

[rancid musk]

she loves to get me a silent keyboard since it annoys her 🥲

I was looking into a epomaker keyboard

[spiral mica]

dont

epomaker sucks

[rancid musk]

why?

[spiral mica]

bad customer service and some product are also bad

I once bought from them a galaxy80

the bottom acrylic thing was heavily scratched when it arrived

[rancid musk]

that looks so much like a old keyboard from the 1997

anything special with this one?

let me see what taobao finds 😛

what does the G stands for in 55G?

[spiral mica]

spring weight

no like the

yeah

my brain was in mx

[rancid musk]

ah got it, basically the force returns after pressing, and required to press in?

[boreal rivet]

taobao account is enough

[spiral mica]

no

I have tb account but I cant use xianyu bcs it uses alipay china

and alipay china needs china id to verify

[boreal rivet]

nah

there's a workaround

[spiral mica]

how

[boreal rivet]

tee hee

[rancid musk]

why are keyboards so expensive xD

as in suddenly a quiet keyboard becomes from 100 eopmaker to 300 realforce 😮

[spiral mica]

topre are inherently expensive

(excluding used ones)

[rancid musk]

so whats a decent keyboard for max 200 euro, silent switches and does not make annoying sounds since im a heavy typer 😛

280-350 euro seems overkill, for such keyboard

[spiral mica]

used hhkb or realforce

easily under 200 euro

I have seen brand new hhkb and realforce under 200 on tb too

or else for mx just whatever you like the design of

and choose a silent switch

[rancid musk]

ok, im a total noob in this area so does it always have to be soldered on the pcb? or can it just be plugged in?

[spiral mica]

hot swap you can just plug in your own switches

just make sure the kbd says hot swap

[rancid musk]

yeah that makes much more sense, as I always just assumed all keyboards can just hotswap.

let me just say no keyboards have died trying out that statement , but it was close.

HHKB 200
HHKB silent 300.

yeah I definitly needs to do research , If I get fed up, and do not want to I probably buy one of those 2 realforce or HHKB. but its also nice to try some switches before hand , so I might go buy some key switches to try.

[modest condor]

can find HHKBs for around 80~ ish USD on Xianyu (not including international shipping)

they are used tho

so its always a gamble if they work or not

but if travel to China yearly , i would recommend checking Xianyu , and see if u find some around the area where u go

[bitter oar]

it’s saddening how much y’all shill topre.

also, what do you consider “silent” most of the topre boards don’t have most well tuned stabs and can turn out to be quite rattly.

[modest condor]

im just trying to help them not spend 300usd on a topre board

[bitter oar]

aight, but why topre in the first place?

I don’t think he asked for it

[modest condor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modest condor]

i dont even know what he asked

[bitter oar]

also why does thoccerbo recommend scratchy boards 4000

second if not most scratchy cherry mx switches

and not even cheaper than stuff that are actually decent

[bitter oar]

well, he asked non specifically for a silent keyboard

also, most of the stuff from epomaker aren’t even from epomaker, likely just rebranded as.
I think some of their TH boards aren’t even manufactured by them

and their customer support is not that bad as people say.
Literally every other company has as bad customer support if not worse.

And good luck returning those topre boards if they come broken

I have bunch of epomaker rebranded, or related boards and I don’t have any issues yet

[mystic sequoia]

I'm looking for the Best compatible keycaps for the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog, a set that is kind of transparent and shows more RGB. However, I've heard some packs like HyperX pudding have problems with low bar keys, etc. Can anyone suggest a set that completely fits my keyboard?

I've heard Gskillz Crystal Crown Keycaps is suitable. Can anyone confirm it?

[rancid musk]

oh simple, just a silent keyboard, keyboards can range from 6 - 600 bucks.
I just want a keyboard which does not scream: " You are typing loudly in the room, with some decent feedback. not the feeling of typing spongue like keys. "

[crisp patrol]

buyer protection

cn market 😋

[rancid musk]

got a link ? 🙂

taobao says 250 euro

not cheaper at all 😦

[crisp patrol]

none, I'm just saying you can find them on xianyu for around that iirc

provided superbuy is available in your location you could ship it pretty easily

oh xianyu is meant for 2nd hand stuff

like ebay

How good? You can have "buyer protection" but have the site do shit about it once they scam you.

anyone got a nice full sized keyboard which might be available for under 50 ?

[bitter oar]

it’s not the most silent at all

[fossil heron]

i dont mind 5 dollar keyboards but a nice one works

[bitter oar]

you have wider options with mx style.

also, why do you call rattly stabs “silent”

they’re not silent imo

even if they’re mildly rattly you can still hear it.

ah, so when I place reasonable argument you’re like “leave me alone”

you’re clearly shilling topre boards.

[fossil heron]

can anyone help me ?

i just simply asked for a nice keyboard under 50 USD

[crisp patrol]

good keebs are good keebs

there's a reason I use my pro2 so much

[bitter oar]

okay, then tell me finally how they’re soooo special? I feel like last time you used mx style other than black vintages was half a decade ago

[fossil heron]

sorry to butt in but are there any recommendations ?

[bitter oar]

any preferences?

or just generally

[fossil heron]

not really though i would like a clicky one

any colour apart from blue

[crisp patrol]

it took you this long to ask

really

[fossil heron]

yes generally which might be your go to for simple typing and playing casual games

[crisp patrol]

hard

needs a matching tokkipee artisan now

[graceful canopy]

u in usa?

[fossil heron]

currently yes

[graceful canopy]

buy keychron c3 pro from amazon

[bitter oar]

well, so you want clicky switches or just tactile switches? I don’t know if you don’t like blue is because your experience with mx blue/kailh/outemu before?

[graceful canopy]

it should be 30-37$

[fossil heron]

no blue is would just straight up look bad with my office desk. Anything that sounds nice. Like that make a clicky noise when i press them

[fossil heron]

ill look into it thanks !

[crisp patrol]

gateron melodics are great clickies that aren't overpriced

[bitter oar]

I mean it looks good but,
still what’s special about them apart from the layouts

[fossil heron]

im sorry i have never heard of the name before. Should i look for a specific model ?

[bitter oar]

alr, did you build them at $150>

?

no

[fossil heron]

i want a full sized one. This does not have a numpad which i need

[graceful canopy]

oh yea , just noticed

[bitter oar]

My whole arguing sessions with you is recommending keyboards over people’s budget

being topre

and making it sound it’s like a need

ah, so $500 is a norm for you?

also, budget as a word is kinda vague

[crisp patrol]

[bitter oar]

$100 is lucky level of achieveness for a topre board

with shipping

[crisp patrol]

91u

[fossil heron]

im sorry but 500 for a keyboard ????. does it have silver keys or its gold plated because thats very expensive

[graceful canopy]

nope normal stuff

[heavy folio]

I spent $60 on my keyboard, including the gatreron clear switches I put in. I had to modify them because it is an outemu board, but cheap stuff is cheap for a reason

[graceful canopy]

paying more than 120$ for a keyboard is dum tbh

unless ur willing to go for very specific sound

[heavy folio]

LMAO spending as much on a keyboard as my laptop is wild

[fossil heron]

so how long do these keyboards last ? 15 years ?

[graceful canopy]

what.

[graceful canopy]

as long as u can clean em and maybe replace a few stuff

[bitter oar]

uh, they literally state their budget is $100 and you’re trying to make it $250+ or have them go through agents to buy from china. You used the same argument to not buy from china when I suggested someone a keyboard from taobao (through an agent also)

[crisp patrol]

[graceful canopy]

stupid right

[fossil heron]

so any full sized keyboard recommendations ?

[graceful canopy]

convince me otherwise

[graceful canopy]

im looking

[heavy folio]

$500 is a fucking rip off. You can get a keyboard, install full switches, and $200 metal keycaps and not reach such a crazy price

[graceful canopy]

or just get a 4k monitor and a decent keychron keyboard

[heavy folio]

but metal is sexy

I want

[crisp patrol]

[bitter oar]

didn’t you literally say it’s cringe to buy from taobao + agent just to get a keyboard?
then you suggested basicly the same but for topre boards

[crisp patrol]

clueless

[crisp patrol]

you say to do it for your pos epomaker

we say to do it to get actual good deals

we are not the same

[graceful canopy]

even with everything that a keyboard could have u cant convince not even 10000 people in this planet that a 500$ keyboard is worth the price

[bitter oar]

uh, no using your own argument agaisnt you and you don’t even accept that

[heavy folio]

ceramic keycaps are neat too, if they weren't too heavy for gateron clears I'd be saving for a set. If I had the money, I'd be torn between ceramic and metal.

[crisp patrol]

you haven't been in the keyboard community for long and it shows

[heavy folio]

wow what an insult, autism

[bitter oar]

then I won the argument and go cry elsewhere

[crisp patrol]

geon f1

[graceful canopy]

ive talked with a lot of people bout keyboards , still not worth it

[crisp patrol]

clueless people

I am

[fossil heron]

guess ill buy this again and spend another 10 years

[crisp patrol]

budget brainrot is wild

[graceful canopy]

so u think its good to spend 500$ on a keyboard

[bitter oar]

I literally suggested mx board from taobao, and you told me duh that’s dum just to get keyboard to go through that hassle
and now you daily suggest the same thing but for topre

[crisp patrol]

yea

you rn

[bitter oar]

not 100?

[crisp patrol]

people have money and you don't we get it

[graceful canopy]

u can go for those cheap aoc keyboards on newegg ig

[bitter oar]

100*

“went from 100 silent epomaker to 300 topre or smth like that he said”

[crisp patrol]

300 for type-s is a ripoff

[bitter oar]

he didn’t specify his budget but he meant 100 by that sentence if you couldn’t see through that

[crisp patrol]

quit huffing copium

[fossil heron]

yeah i just bought one. thanks for the help though. This keyboard may not be fancy but it can survive hell and last me atleast 7 years

LOL I could be a millionaire and I'd still never spend more then $100 on a stock keyboard, not everyone who's unwilling to waste money is poor. Some people are willing to put in a bit of work to get something better for their money, or even (in my case) more suited to my taste, and not necessarily better.

[graceful canopy]

the aoc?

[fossil heron]

funny how i used dell keyboards for over 20 years and they still amaze me

[bitter oar]

read it yourself, it seems like his initial budget was 100~ because he was probably looking at a 100 euro epomaker board

[fossil heron]

yea this one

[bitter oar]

then he increased it to 200

[fossil heron]

but from a local seller

[crisp patrol]

yeah that's your opinion

[fossil heron]

😂

[graceful canopy]

deadass

[crisp patrol]

you're arguing that nobody wants to spend big money on keebs

[bitter oar]

also, there’s the risk of getting your package caught my customs in eu

you have to tell the seller to lower the package value

[crisp patrol]

or maybe it was the other muntoid

[heavy folio]

no, I'm arguing that above a certain point it's a waste of money

[bitter oar]

unless it meh, it doesn’t work like that through superbuy

[graceful canopy]

cause its dumn

[graceful canopy]

no benefit

[modest condor]

[fossil heron]

i would still use this keyboard if the ctrl key worked again and the numpad wasnt dead 😂

[crisp patrol]

you're dumb lmao

literally saying people don't do something and not basing it off any facts

[bitter oar]

most of people don’t.

[fossil heron]

oh i bought a refurbished one for 4 bucks 😂

[crisp patrol]

just WhAT mY fRIEndS sAy

[crisp patrol]

like you

[graceful canopy]

my guy u aint convincing nobody that paying 4k gaming monitor money on a shitty keyboard that will need to have a switch replaced every year or 2

[crisp patrol]

cheap chiclet is sicker though

[crisp patrol]

are you delusional

[heavy folio]

I do think you're being a little touchy about even possibly being part of a niche

[crisp patrol]

don't bang your shit and it'll last

[bitter oar]

If i’d spend money on singular keyboard i’d certainly be able to afford one instead of dozen midrange ones.

[fossil heron]

had the mind to buy a 50 USD keyboard but ended up witht the same one. Life works in mysterious ways. Anyhow carry on 1

[graceful canopy]

ur delusional and brought to the die that more expensive is better

[crisp patrol]

nobody throws their keeb at the wall daily besides you

[dawn swan]

a good chunk of the people dumping 500 on a keyboard will just rotate out of it before the thing breaks anyway and it will end up sold or on some display shelf

[crisp patrol]

it is????

f1

sho

[bitter oar]

literally most of people don’t want to spend more than 50 on a keyboard

[crisp patrol]

cheaper hgs

[bitter oar]

most of people means more than half.

poverty?

[heavy folio]

I fail to see how you've been slandered, is there context I am missing?

I know

I was asking when you were

[dawn swan]

lol

[bitter oar]

can you back up your* claim that people want to spend 100+ on a keyboard?

[crisp patrol]

@patent belfry

[bitter oar]

stop making unfunny jokes, seriously.

[heavy folio]

You do seem to be implying that it isn't possible to get a good one for cheap, when I just assembled something fairly good for a very good price

[crisp patrol]

if you're in poverty you shouldn't be worrying about a keyboard

laziness only digs the hole deeper

[bitter oar]

I can certainly afford a $600 as of now keyboard but, I won’t spend it simply

it’s a waste

[heavy folio]

fair enough, but I doubt you'll beat my $40 build

at least at the same price

[bitter oar]

literally the point of keyboard is a keyboard… something to type on. not something you should spend partially your wage on

[dawn swan]

i think the main argument is that they would rather spend their money on other things

[bitter oar]

alright, tell me all the pros of a high end keyboard vs mid range mx style one. all. (please not poor anecdotal jokes)

[crisp patrol]

poor

[bitter oar]

stock

without tuning, and if they’re actually worth it

some of the boards have rattly stabs.

not good when a $30 one can do better

[dawn swan]

past 200 dollars is probably mainly just quality control and material choice

[heavy folio]

My keyboard is MX style

[crisp patrol]

you're actually mentally ill

[bitter oar]

yes, the aula f75 doesn’t have any rattle and ticking at $30

[crisp patrol]

unhealthy obsession with dickriding a shitty $30 board

[crisp patrol]

all you talk about is the f75

[dawn swan]

lol

[bitter oar]

or you just cannot accept criticism

[crisp patrol]

what criticism

literal coping

because a more expensive keyboard is better than your $30 pos

[bitter oar]

again, most of people cannot afford a $100 what a’m coping with?
also why don’t invest your money instead into a better pc?

[dawn swan]

if it types letters its not a DEFECTIVE keyboard

[crisp patrol]

I am going to buy one and make it bad

[bitter oar]

you fine tune your stabs aswell no?

[crisp patrol]

(fill it with lead)

[bitter oar]

oh damn

[heavy folio]

just buy one with blues, there you go

[bitter oar]

that explains why you used your mx profile spacebar instead of buying other one

[bitter oar]

in reverse

[crisp patrol]

could you repeat that lagger

[bitter oar]

point still stands. it looks horrible and it’s awkard.

why just not buy some dsa or xda spacebar?

[crisp patrol]

are you stupid

[bitter oar]

but not for most people again. it’s awkard to type on

[crisp patrol]

it's literally better

somewhat
