[crisp patrol]

can always use switch trimmers

[prime mirage]

What keycaps and they shouldn’t be wrong that’s what they weigh it in at

[sonic cape]

dcx garnet

[drifting mauve]

oof

[cunning anvil]

90usd for 5 pcbs bleh

hoped itd be cheaper

[exotic wyvern]

i have baby raccoons which are the linear variant of the kangaroos and i love them

[low dirge]

Oil kings go crazy

Especially on fr4

[sonic cape]

mx2a black

[low dirge]

Lol

[sonic cape]

not good?

[low dirge]

Too many black switches

[sonic cape]

yeah

[low dirge]

No it's great bro

[sonic cape]

mode obscuras for cycle8

[low dirge]

Mmmm

Mx browns are so nice

[sonic cape]

you take that back

[low dirge]

I like how scratchy they are

[sonic cape]

[low dirge]

Browns are endgame

[sonic cape]

mx orange is

endgame

[low dirge]

Wait

The vintage oranges?

[sonic cape]

https://candykeys.com/product/cherry-mx-hirose-orange-switch

[low dirge]

Indeed

I still haven't gotten a chance to build with my glarples switches

[silk matrix]

If yall had to pick huntsman mini special edition or apex 9 mini. Idc about swapping switches which of the 2 will feel better

[crisp patrol]

oil kings

[crisp patrol]

nothing special

besides maybe having a good spring stock

but then again it's cherry

[cunning anvil]

Silent tactile Chocs when

Make em light while they're at it

[prime mirage]

I love my oil kings in my keychron q3

[crisp patrol]

[muted karma]

what

that was mykeyboard

[modest condor]

candykeys

[sonic cape]

candykeys is good

they're just slower

because it's a small operation

every order i've had has been fulfilled, slower then others but i like to support it

[sonic cape]

you´re in the EU ?

[modest condor]

still waiting for my refunds

[sonic cape]

it's a good store, they just have some issues

well noone is forcing you to buy from them

in EU they're pretty reputablr

but i agree

Eloquent or Deltakey

are better

also still better than MyKB

[modest condor]

mkeu? not a thing anymore

[sonic cape]

yep

yes they are loll

[sonic cape]

it will be missed

[cunning anvil]

full size, debating if i want to add an expansion port

or leave as is

no frills, so no rgb, encoder, indicator leds

[crisp patrol]

since when did you make full boards

[cunning anvil]

for the lols

[crisp patrol]

add lock led support

and wdym by expansion port

[cunning anvil]

I'd, but not enough pins

[crisp patrol]

[cunning anvil]

The ICs next to the hatted face can be daisy chained up to 4

[crisp patrol]

[cunning anvil]

so by passing a few io and a few serial lines, you can get 8xN more keys per ic

[crisp patrol]

so similar to something like adb daisy chaining

[cunning anvil]

im already using 2

so i can have more 16xN keys

in any arrangement, just gotta adjust the mapping

depending on how many io i expose

6 is the plan tho

so up to 96 more keys

though at that point idk if youd rather buy and build an equivalent board

[crisp patrol]

add niche stuff

[cunning anvil]

Ran outta I/O

best i can do is reuse col/row for more keys

[crisp patrol]

you should add support for different layouts too

[cunning anvil]

ugmhhhh

it was a proof of concept schematic tbh

to make a full size with 11 io

[crisp patrol]

I'm interested now

I should goof around in kicad

[cunning anvil]

lul if i wanted to i could daisy chain more and drop the expansion port...

brb, math

4 rows, 3 col, 4 spare io

what features you wanna squeeze

[crisp patrol]

realistically you'd only really need enough for a numpad and maaaybe a 3x3 or so macropad

[cunning anvil]

nah it can be expansionless

more math

with 5row 3col for 120 keys, leaves space to do another 5x8 key

oop forgot to mention, this only uses 3 of the 4 avail daisy chains

3 io for random features, plus expansion up to 40 keys

or i could go for the classic 3 led indicators

[crisp patrol]

I'd say expansion because it's less common

[cunning anvil]

expansion is already baked in

io features tbd

also seems like expansion should have enough conductors to pipe whatever features you want

lol

(using hdmi)

[crisp patrol]

do what

[cunning anvil]

just as a carrying interface

[crisp patrol]

so for data transfer

[cunning anvil]

ya

[crisp patrol]

pretty cool

copy the weytec mk06 screen mod ideas and add a screen you can use as a monitor

[cunning anvil]

ehhhh

thats a bit faar

i dont wanna do display passthru

[crisp patrol]

hm

what about a built in usb hub pro2 style

[cunning anvil]

i dont think i could pull it off

[crisp patrol]

hmmmmmmmmm

add a trackpoint

[cunning anvil]

do you have any idea how annoying it is to source one

sorry there's a lot going on in the design side that restricts the options

rgb takes one io, indicators take 1 io each

amusingly wireless is an option

encoder takes 2

rgb + encoder would be nice

but pain to solder

already have to solder 100+ sockets/diodes

[crisp patrol]

obviously not

[cunning anvil]

fair enough

[crisp patrol]

so clearly this means to add a trackball

[cunning anvil]

2 pins

[crisp patrol]

[cunning anvil]

where would you even put it though

[crisp patrol]

arrow cluster

[cunning anvil]

so much effort though lol

[crisp patrol]

it would be funny

[deft plume]

Is it possible in any way to rebind the scroll wheel on the apex pro

[long obsidian]

go to #mouse

[little sand]

Heads up if you've bought stuff from keychron in the past year-ish.

I use cards for online purchases that are unique per site I use them on and are also locked to the first merchant they get a charge from.

This week I've had 2 blocked attempts for clothing related shit for a card that was used only for keychron last year. Check your stuff for weird purchases.

[sonic cape]

damn

[deft plume]

It’s a keyboard

[long obsidian]

damn

is it a clicky tshirt

[chrome raft]

what do yall think about the shadow x and the wisteria switches

[little sand]

That's not how privacy cards work

[humble current]

is there someone with experience of buying key caps, in Europe. that could tell me what to watch out for, good and bad signs. if a store or a seller isn't genuine.
there are so many different sellers. and it's just so difficult to identify real or fake sellers sometimes. or the ones that manufacture vs the ones that do ripoffs.

[sonic cape]

oblotzky

has a lot of good GMK

coffee keys or sometimes deltakey

[zenith light]

i recently got a mechanical keyboard from a friend and its a 61 key keyboard is there any way to check if the switches are hot swappable?

[fringe breach]

Before and after disassembling and cleaning my keyboard, took two hours to do

[cunning anvil]

ortho fullsize?

[fringe breach]

Mine has staggered keys

[cunning anvil]

Nice

Most do

[fringe breach]

It just some 20 dollar Amazon no name mechanical keyboard but it's been holding up nicely and sounds good for the past 3-4 years

[cunning anvil]

i

i think i cooked a lil too long

[crisp patrol]

[cunning anvil]

here, i uncooked it a for a little bit

[cunning anvil]

and now its scrambled

[vestal ether]

Hey which keycap set do you guys think looks nicer

[sonic cape]

purple

Mecha 01

[vestal ether]

I know

I’m broke

$25 compared to $100

[rare venture]

I kind of like this

I'm confused. Are you telling him to get a different colorway for $25?

[rare venture]

I like purple.

So it's the same colors he wants for $25?

$25 compared to $100

I just wanted to be clear that he said he got the clones because he can't afford the real ones and you replied just to get a cheap bad colorway.

Jesus...

Okay as long we cleared that up and you are okay with that. You don't see how silly that sounds?

Yes

Never mind though I just wanted you to confirm what you said so others can see it.

Don't bother replying anymore

[bitter oar]

man… can you stop harrasing people for not wanting to spend a hundred for pieces of plastic?

leave them alone then, either give them a suggestion that checkmarks their needs or just don’t respond instead of making fun of them

I would give a fuck if they weren’t so overpriced for pieces of plastic

“art”

my ass

well, pay your “art” tax yourself then but, not everyone wants to pay extra 300% for keycaps because they’re genuine pieces of plastic
It’s not going to ruin their typing experience

[boreal rivet]

I don’t see the problem in buying a clone set when the original stole from the ip anyway

[bitter oar]

I don’t see an issue aslong it brings competitiveness to the market

[sonic cape]

he's been doing that for a long time, a lot of people wrote to me and a lot of people contacted admins, they won't do anything

because he's not insulting or threatening anyone it's just protected free speech

yes it's sad someone devotes so much time to this but nothing we can do

[last saffron]

tai hao keycaps are cheap and good quality tho they come from taiwan so keep the shipping in mind.

[sonic cape]

even if someone would care to deal w your bad advice and remove you, you'd just create an alt acc and come back so it's not really a solvable issue

people should just go for advice elsewhere

[last saffron]

affordable too

[modest condor]

pretty sure their shipping is decent

[last saffron]

ive bought two sets of them

ive using their backlit pbt red and black keys atm

my keyboard is like 2 kg

monsgeek m3 base

[boreal rivet]

realforce is better

[modest condor]

monsgeek seems decent , seems like a better buy than keychron tbh

keychron pricing , at least for the alu stuff , is not really good anymore , considering the amount of budget stuff coming out (neo , cycle etc)

[sonic cape]

im not talking about rn

but sometimes people want the average keyboards, don't suggest topre realforce to everyone

be a bit open

don't hate on stuff

not all the time man

i understand

but try to be more open minded man

i know you're knowledgeable

because you need to be more open minded

[boreal rivet]

maybe he is very open minded and has determined realforce is best

[sonic cape]

yes because i've tried

[boreal rivet]

[sonic cape]

tellimg you multiple times already

it's not the first time i've told you this

i have no authority here im just trying to help some kids that want thock, alu and keycaps

[modest condor]

topre is yummy

topre is the true thock

[boreal rivet]

is that why you tell people to dm you whenever someone shows up

[modest condor]

HHKB

[sonic cape]

yeah because im trying to spare them the roast

that they get here

for buying clones, having cheap boards or gamer brands

[boreal rivet]

not one gets roasted though

i just give quick and concise top tier advice

[sonic cape]

[boreal rivet]

I'm not the one with multiple chinese value boards bruh

[crisp patrol]

he left

doesn't show him as in the server anymore

[boreal rivet]

he's still in here

I think you're just blocked lol

[crisp patrol]

huh

never did that for me before

[whole birch]

Is there a keyboard layout that has a left control key as big as the left shift?
Or am I just hallucinating?

[cunning anvil]

Lctl and Lsft are the same size are both 1u in this :lol:

[whole birch]

You know what I mean
The left control being bigger than 1.25u

I remember using those types of keyboards in school and I prefer it over the 1.25u control keys on ansi keyboards

[cunning anvil]

I do, that is why I didn't ping you

I shitpost layouts here sometimes

[whole birch]

I don't mind being pinged

[cunning anvil]

Yeah but it wasn't actually what you asked for lol

more of a segue

segway

[whole birch]

I want to build a tkl keyboard but I don't want no small ass control key

I hate that

I might have to go Tsangan, I can't seem to find a layout that has it

[cunning anvil]

tsangan is probably the closest thing that would be searchable easily lol

[modest condor]

R3 control

[whole birch]

Please elaborate

[modest condor]

instead of capslock

control

[cunning anvil]

capslock as anything else > capslock as caps

[whole birch]

I prefer to have my control key in the corner

What layout did those keyboard my school used back in like 2010-2015

They had exactly what I'm looking for

a 2x size control key equal in size the the shift key

Can I like custom order a keyboard base kit?

how expensive will it be and where can I do that?

[cunning anvil]

Like, a pcb/case?

[whole birch]

yeah

[cunning anvil]

Idk, most I've seen are done as a commission or for personal use?

Case material would have an impact on price as well

[cunning anvil]

@patent belfry trying to decide whether i want the split alphas rn, but otherwise i might just make a southpaw ortho fullsize?

fullsize for people who want to touch my computer, ortho for my sanity, southpaw for fun

[whole birch]

I only got 500$ rn

Seems like my perfect keyboard will have to wait

[cunning anvil]

Perfection can be a hell of a rabbithole

[whole birch]

I just want a big control button

[cunning anvil]

Split alphas would prob throw some typing habits off but I thought, might as well since it's already ortho. But thinking that splitting alphas would make hunt/peck typers distressed

Most likely would result in an Alice style bend, or be comically wide

[whole birch]

Speaking of peck typing

I recently achieved 116 wpm whilst pecking

I started learning touch typing like 2 weeks ago, I hit 20-40wpm on that

[cunning anvil]

I would love to see a vid of that

sounds wild

[whole birch]

I didn't record myself sadly

I was at school when I did it

[whole birch]

I think the peak was 300 something on a singular word

[sick flint]

Do you guys think the galaxy80 is a good keyboard

[crisp patrol]

"but I had a good experience with them so they are good"

[whole birch]

what's a good barebones tkl keyboard with a Tsangan bottom row?

budget is 200-300

can be stretched if need be

[boreal rivet]

Realforce 86u

[crisp patrol]

geon f1

[whole birch]

I'm gonna go Neo80

Neo80 in retro white + https://spaceholdings.net/products/gmk-lavender-keycaps

W or L

[crisp patrol]

gmk good

[whole birch]

is the color combo good though?

Retro white Neo80 + Gmk Lavender keycap set

[crisp patrol]

I'd say beige gmk

[whole birch]

Nuh uh, my favorite color is lavender

the key caps ain't changing

The entire point of this build is for the Gmk Lavender set

[crisp patrol]

lavender cerakote

[whole birch]

the first thing that popped up was a lavender Glock 19 and it's beautiful

I need

[cunning anvil]

darkish grey

[whole birch]

which one is that?

[crisp patrol]

tried lilac?

[whole birch]

The issue with that is the shades are different and that's gonna bother me

[crisp patrol]

holy shit they have stonewashed weights

[whole birch]

Yeah, I picked stonewashed silver

[crisp patrol]

stonewash is baller

[whole birch]

it looks sick in retro white, I'm just worried if it's gonna work with the keycaps

I fucking cropped the image and still sent the wrong one, fml

[crisp patrol]

imo I don't think it'd work

[whole birch]

so normal white?

that'll for sure work because the keycaps set has white too

[crisp patrol]

might be the best bet

btw have you heard of shipwrecking copper

[whole birch]

no

[crisp patrol]

you could in theory get the copper weight and shipwreck it

[whole birch]

I'm going broke after this one

all of my 500 is vanishing

[whole birch]

Uhh

Not quite sure I follow

[crisp patrol]

uh gimme a sec

[boreal rivet]

Maybe don’t spend all your money on a keyboard?

[crisp patrol]

an example of a really beautiful shipwreck (forced patina)

not a good idea for that board though

[whole birch]

shhh 🤫🧏

[boreal rivet]

🤦

[whole birch]

that looks cool

not gonna do it on a keyboard lol

[whole birch]

I'm 17 bro, living with my parents

this is my saved up money, it's fine

[boreal rivet]

Sure

I’ve been there

And it’s not worth it

I’ll say that much

[whole birch]

https://tenor.com/view/mewing-gif-14699957714023232752

[crisp patrol]

macropad?

[whole birch]

Just start using stenography at this point

[cunning anvil]

thinking if this is too few for a split board

[cunning anvil]

pry r1 from my dead hands

chording layouts are meh

wondering if these red keys would be worth destaggering those outer cols a bit for

[chrome raft]

I was surprised to find out i like typing on my laptop keyboard, better than my 3 mechanical keyboards. Since i don't want to wear out the laptop keyboard, are there 100% keyboards with rubber membrane laptop keys? Im going crazy, i know

[cunning anvil]

4Y40X49493?

[chrome raft]

Yes

[cunning anvil]

oops that was the model number

oh that's tkl, hm

[chrome raft]

Not a bad suggestion though.

[boreal rivet]

Chiclet keyboards are good

People just don’t want to admit it

Because no way their mechanical keyboard is matched by some random laptop right lul

[chrome raft]

Right 😄 The closest one ive found so far are the Logitech K280e, wish i found one with white backlight.

wow, the Cherry KC 6000 Slim looks promising, no backlight

[cunning anvil]

man i wish theyd sell kits for them fr

literally lower profile, plus seems like they have some half sized caps

[muted karma]

why not

[modest condor]

im still waiting for my refunds smh

[muted karma]

looks absolutely fine

[boreal rivet]

That looks horrible 🤢

[cunning anvil]

Thinking about making an Altoids board again

[bitter oar]

looks nice

unique

[cunning anvil]

looks like wet carpet

[regal herald]

Hey i need help to find a wireless full size black keyboard that can do rgb can some of you help me ?

[crisp patrol]

will most likely mess up fitment if not done right, won't match, and probably will take a few tries to get it just right

[crisp patrol]

beautiful shipwreck, just doesn't really match

[muted karma]

that unit is from a guy I know, is just fine

[crisp patrol]

it's an entire board not a weight

[wispy wedge]

Thoughs?

Got 2

[wispy wedge]

But i'm selling this one

[crisp patrol]

not a common colorway

[wispy wedge]

Yea but the caps were cheap

[crisp patrol]

you need some gmk

[bitter oar]

I like it

[whole birch]

Okay chat, I have finalized my keyboard build
What are your guys thoughts?

White Spraycoated Neo80
Vertex V1 Switches
GMK Lavender Keycaps

[drifting mauve]

my wallet isn't very happy, but I am

I'm gonna build it after dinn dinn

[junior jacinth]

Guys guys, you should switch to Dvorak, it's much better than qwerty

[junior jacinth]

ALT Gr for special characters

[whole birch]

There's a steep learning curve

It's highly unlikely you will become faster on Dvorak versus Qwerty unless you've been using it since childhood

Some people do prefer it

Qwerty just has the advantage of being familiar and will generally be faster

[junior jacinth]

I switched to Svorak A5 in like 7:th or 8:th grade.

[whole birch]

Oh, I thought you were asking if you should switch

Speed on a keyboard layout highly depends on how young you picked it up

Put your kids on Dvorak and raise the fastest typers

[crisp patrol]

yes and no

on the same level some layouts are just better

but who teaches any of the niche layouts

[whole birch]

You can't beat 20 years of familiarization of using Qwerty

most of the fastest typers in the world use Qwerty iirc

[junior jacinth]

I type ~70 word/min on Svorak A5
& like 30 word/min when I go back to Qwerty

sitting in sofa with thinkpad atm tho & it's 4 am.

I think I learned touch-typing at the same time as switching to Svorak A5

[whole birch]

You type 70 touch typing?

I reached 116 chicken pecking on Qwerty

im learning touch typing and am around 40 wpm 95 accuracy

[junior jacinth]

I'm pretty sure I found it insanely hard to beat 100 wpm on desktop before when I tried haha

like you make a misstake

then you have to erase

& rewrite the word

[whole birch]

Just don't make mistakes

100% accuracy chicken pecking 🗣️🔥🔥

though, my average is ~80 for longer writing tests

this was just a singular sentence

[junior jacinth]

I only did those 60 seconds one

[whole birch]

also, your pfp is something

[crisp patrol]

[chrome raft]

you guys are the reason behind why a box of 64 plastic squares is priced over $100 CAD

[modest condor]

LOL

[spiral mica]

????????????

[chrome raft]

LOL

[cunning anvil]

y'all into custom firmware or nah

[boreal rivet]

Hell yeah bruther

[crisp patrol]

you're welcome

[clear bison]

im here

with a keychron

cuz yes

(rgb off btw)

[drifting mauve]

Did the best with the yee yee ass layout drop keycaps I had

[cunning anvil]

Thats WKL isn't it?

Wait how do you WK

[drifting mauve]

you don't lol

[modest condor]

what board?

[drifting mauve]

I bound the cinnamon menu to ctrl (code)+shift

[drifting mauve]

tofu60 2.0

[modest condor]

linux user 👀

[drifting mauve]

I think I bought the last anodized aluminum wkl one available

[drifting mauve]

of 3 or 4 months.. yes

[modest condor]

im about to go Linux , just waiting for new M.2 and usb sticks to arrive

[drifting mauve]

Bro you don't need an m.2 for linux

I have windows on a very fast nvme and my zorin install is on a really crappy old sata ssd
zorin still boots faster

[modest condor]

does not have anything to do with Linux tbh , my secondary m.2 is having issues , so i bought a new one 😛

[drifting mauve]

oh lol

[modest condor]

but i also got it so i can just use it for Linux and use the one i have windows on for dual booting

just seemed like a good time to buy a new one , had been putting it off cause lazy

[drifting mauve]

What distro do you plan to try first?

[modest condor]

guess

already tried a few in vm

[drifting mauve]

mint

[modest condor]

starts with a and ends with rch

[drifting mauve]

arch

not a bad first if you've tried a few in vm's and have some experience with the terminal

[modest condor]

terminal is so yummy

[cunning anvil]

bruh

[drifting mauve]

@modest condor Just don't install too many bs packages and don't update soo often
I bricked my first arch install a few weeks ago

[modest condor]

backups

got a figure out a way to do that with Arch , mint had that nice thingy for it

[drifting mauve]

I kinda wanted to fresh install it again anyways

see how much bloat I could leave out

[crisp patrol]

kde when

[cunning anvil]

convo moved to#linux , talking about it now kinda lol

[drifting mauve]

I've tried kde multiple times
I don't like it

[cunning anvil]

It's fine if you don't care about rice and just want a working Wayland session i feel

[drifting mauve]

frrrrr

[cunning anvil]

Like my Plasma is like 99% stock

just flipped dark mode on

[drifting mauve]

I like the functionality of plasma but every time I install a theme it goes to this default that looks like a really old version of plasma I think

lookin like k desktop circa 2001

[cunning anvil]

Yeah I don't do themes unless im feeling frisky

Except for konsole

[drifting mauve]

anyone know if its possible to disable the capslock led on the tofu60 2.0?

Ide like to use it as the super key like on a chromebook

since I'm wkl

[crisp patrol]

via vial

[drifting mauve]

Thats what I figured

thinking which layout i like better for a split

but idk how the top feels yet

[alpine sapphire]

I'm new to keyboards, what's a good place to get keycaps for a tkl

[crisp patrol]

how will it split though

[cunning anvil]

that's half

both halves identical

[crisp patrol]

ah

[cunning anvil]

I've got 18 days to use these diodes and stuff i got for free hmm

[crisp patrol]

mass print good tkl pcbs
profit

[cunning anvil]

I only got 100 diodes and a handful of rgb

Basically gonna be a macropad :/

[crisp patrol]

damn

[cunning anvil]

How many RGB for underglow actually

I mean, I could always just eat the cost of more diodes

But I do want to know how cheap I could make something this month since there's sales going

[devout torrent]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/all-keyboards/products/keychron-q5-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection

any objections against this?

[steady osprey]

nothing wrong with it

personally not a fan of the iso layout tho

[boreal rivet]

Fc980c is better

[devout torrent]

isnt that a plastic body?

kinda want a metal one unless its quite a bit better than the keychron

[boreal rivet]

It is quite a bit better than the keychron

[spiral mica]

just get the keychron if you like it

unless you rly want to try out topre and is willing to pay the price for a topre board

[heavy folio]

I added a pair of black switches to my enter and caps lock keys, so I don't accidentally hit them anymore.

well, I will still hit them, but they shouldn't actuate unless I mean to because they are double the weight of all the other keys

[fallow topaz]

Hi there, I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Budget isn't a major concern for me. I'm currently using the SteelSeries Apex Pro but have had long-standing issues with their software, and the keyboard is becoming unreliable. I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with Nordic support and a numpad, so essentially a 100% keyboard.

[spiral mica]

keychron

I think they got nordic layout

q5 or q6

the amount of stimming i would do, if i had this keyboard would be allot

[deft wolf]

guys

i just bought a 10$ mechanical keyboard

that is also hot swappable

and pre-lubed stabs

all for 10 bucks

[crisp patrol]

[bitter oar]

which model?

sounds interesting

[boreal rivet]

[drifting mauve]

Guys is it alright to just close via software after I'm done with it?

I'm super scared of bricking my new $200 keeb

[tribal wing]

Hello. I'm trying to help my bf with a new keyboard. Always know any good Keycaps that are Red and black. For Outemu switches that let the RGB shine through the letters. Looking for either full size or TKL sets. All I can find is SF.

[drifting mauve]

What keyboard?

[tribal wing]

@drifting mauve he just bought a new red dragon keyboard because of the colours but it's too small so he's returning it. He doesn't have a confirmed new keyboard yet but I'm helping him piece together so he can make an informed decision since he will have to be buying new keycaps since he can't find what he wants in a TKL or full size.

Ive already found a keycap set for the cherry mx switches (incase he likes that keyboard better). Finding one for the Outemu switches seems impossible

[drifting mauve]

damn you dont need to tell me your whole lore

I just needed to know if it was a high end or budget keeb

Damn its actually harder than I thought to find red and black keycaps that arent either cheap crap or stupidly expensive

esp full size/tkl

@tribal wing https://www.etsy.com/listing/1239659287/red-black-keycap-set-104-pc-w-free?variation0=2658374599&variation1=2634540234

Doubleshot pbt
they may improve the sound of the keeb quite a bit

[tribal wing]

@drifting mauve those don't seem to be Outemu profile but they are nice. You see my problem now trying to find keycaps.

I'm tempted just to buy him cherry switches

[drifting mauve]

Are they low or high profile outemu?

becoase cherry keycaps can fit

just not on the low profile I'm pretty sure

[tribal wing]

@drifting mauve would they? Hmm good to know. Looks like it's the standard high profile

That set you found is really nice though. If for some reason they don't fit I'll order him some cherry switches

[boreal rivet]

What is outemu profile

Outemu uses the same cross mount as cherry

[crisp patrol]

outemu lp is cross mount too

foooor whatever reason

[tribal wing]

Ok so my bf got the Red dragon K628 pro (which he is returning since it's too small) and he has an artisan keycap cherry mx style which doesn't fit on his old keyboard or this new one.

Both have those Outemu switches.

[boreal rivet]

and I suppose we should magically figure out what the artisan is

[torn patio]

any keyboard recommendations I have a budget of around $150

[drifting mauve]

https://cannonkeys.com/products/sat75-x

With keycaps and switches you can get it right to you're budget

I would've recently bought it over the tofu60 2.0 but I wanted a 60%

its not relesed yet tho
But I would definitely wait till reviews come out and consider it if it interests you at all

[torn patio]

it's saying it's out of stock?

Is there any other options I really need a keyboard

[deft wolf]

might need to mod this one

[onyx aspen]

Looking for a keyboard better than the Corsair k55 RGB pro for the same price

[chrome raft]

does anyone know a compatible case for the ajazz ak680 thats made from metal?

[robust arrow]

Have there been any reported cases of a Box White V2 or a Box V2 switch in general stretching or cracking keycaps?

I had Box White V1's that cracked the stem of my PBTFans set and have tried Baby kangaroo's and now Gateron melodics but the box whites still for me feel better to type on. If the V2's have no problems thinking I'll likely buy some
Haven't found anything mentioning the V2s having problems on reddit, etc but figured still best to ask

[robust arrow]

Damn... Thanks for the heads-up

Would you have any suggestions for a clicky switch around 50g actuation then that wont crack keycaps?

A lot of folks recommended the melodics but these feel heavier than 60g

interesting even after all these years of "fixing" it it's still not fixed

[crisp patrol]

melodics feel great

spring swaps aren't expensive either

[robust arrow]

time consuming though

[cunning anvil]

thocc thoughts

[lyric sedge]

Now this is a keyboard

[crisp patrol]

switches?

[fallow topaz]

when i try to connect my keychron keyboard to the site that they have, it says that it cant get the info from it

[rustic ridge]

ive been looking around and I wanted to know what I need to lube my stabilzers easily, is there a way i can just shoot lube in with like a needle or a syringe?

[ionic briar]

Yes.

[subtle vigil]

yall im keyboard shopping and ive got a few requirements

• corsair, i already have icue stuff but willing to try other brands
• cherry mx blue switches (call me weird idc, my adhd brain loves it)
• 100% keyboard
• individually lit rgb keys
• macro buttons
• no stupid round or circular keycaps

[fallow topaz]

K1 Pro QMK/VIA is that keyboard any good for gaming?

[prime mirage]

What’s your budget

[fallow topaz]

budget doesnt matter, i got the k8 regular recently from keychron, but found it you cant remap the keys on it so i thought i could switch it out, i really like the design of the k8 regular one, got recommended to get a max version if i could

[prime mirage]

I’d get a v1

Or if you have more budget a q1 pro

[cunning anvil]

having fun with through hole with a touch of smd

sadge that the esd chip is the centerpiece instead of the mcu though

maybe in some other revision i can fix it

[modest condor]

wtf this is not cursed

make it cursed

[cunning anvil]

the cursed part is that you can substitute the centerpiece with diodes instead

thats what those holes are for

[modest condor]

lol

[cunning anvil]

i gotta work on my curses later

thumbstick board is up for manufacturing

[modest condor]

keep em coming

[cunning anvil]

Also have some stuff coming in

Debating what order to order things rn

I still need choc switches and mx spaced choc caps

for the stuff coming in

[cunning anvil]

cursed 6%

split

with theoretical joystick support

[crisp patrol]

what a mess of stuff

is that all just for 6 switches and a joystick

[cunning anvil]

mostly

[chrome raft]

looking for modestly priced 60% board (barebones preferably) that has lots of padding, is flexy, has good mounting system, etc and that is not on a group buy, if anyone has any tips. Someone recommended the paw65. I think keychron has some interesting and very cheap boards (q-series = gasket mounted). But yeah. I just want to throw on some nice caps and haimu heartbeat switches and have a nice travel board.

ie, I would get the zoom65 but stupid group buy bs.

[spiral mica]

wait for the zoom65 v3

almost out

also zoom often has stock (at least my region does)

[cunning anvil]

most of the mess is the silkscreen lol

[chrome raft]

I am fairly opposed to stalking a website until drop day. I don't really care that much and have things to do, people to see often. I don't want to support such a group buy culture. I think people should make good keyboards and sell them normally. :/ am I a boomer?

[rich pumice]

So I bought a PORTRONICS HYDRA 10 with blue switches recently, and I want to make my keyboard response time faster and better too. How can I do that?

[boreal rivet]

Hhkb

[chrome raft]

I've thought about that actually, but I really do like haimu heartbeat switches, and I have no idea what topre switches would feel like despite people consistently rating them as good. but it's a lot more convenient to have hotswappable keyboard that works with normal switches

[main narwhal]

Incidentally I thought this was for a fight stick at first glance lol

[main narwhal]

What's modest 😮

[chrome raft]

< $500 usd

[crisp patrol]

topre is great but when it's super new it kinda feels shitty

I've got 2008 domes rn

[main narwhal]

Did you look at Mode's stuff?

[charred garden]

perfect sticker placement lmao

[scarlet sequoia]

Im thinking abt getting this for my first keyboard. (Im coming from a laptop) https://a.co/d/igflj5u is it good or are there betters options under 50$?

[civic lily]

which case looks better for these keycaps?

[vagrant quarry]

45 $ keybord🔥

[scarlet sequoia]

u taking the pic with an airplane?

[humble current]

can someone help me learn how to identify the different problem-sounds from switches?
or at least have separate examples of problem-sounds with the spring and leaf ping.
just having a real hard time finding any specific sound clips.

[bitter oar]

that’s up to you

[cunning anvil]

had fun silking actually

[crisp patrol]

I still need to make my own pcb

soldering is gonna suck though

[cunning anvil]

just order assembly lul

[crisp patrol]

how much does it add

any idea?

[cunning anvil]

like uhh

idk 50?

30 lowest ive gotten

no diodes, ch552t

rp2040 boards usually cost me more tho

lots of caps ig

[crisp patrol]

hm

[cunning anvil]

if you wanna go for a daughterboard like pro micro/xiao is pretty easy

depends on the style youre after

[crisp patrol]

cheap

[chilly perch]

probably 3 dollar aliexpress pro micro daughterboard then

[cunning anvil]

yeah

soldering is easier with those anyways

just needs diodes

ch552 weact board is like

under a dollar

oh thats a welcome deal

[royal spruce]

Hello

EPOMAKER TH80 Pro Wireless Barebones Keyboard Kit, 75% Hot Swap Mechanical Keyboard Kit, Bluetooth 5.0/2.4GHz/Wired RGB Gaming Keyboard, with Dampener Foams, South-Facing LEDs for Win/Mac/PS5/PS4/Xbox https://a.co/d/4Zl5pXO

Would this be good for a custom keyboard?

[crisp patrol]

are other smds already soldered on or what

[cunning anvil]

im confused what you mean by other smds

yes the daughterboard/dev board comes with a lot of the smd parts needed to funcion

[cunning anvil]

just missing the diodes, otherwise its already keeb ready

[crisp patrol]

the diodes are all thru hole I assume?

[cunning anvil]

depends on what you want to use

[crisp patrol]

[cunning anvil]

smd if you want to assemble at factory or yourself through hole if you want to solder yourself

[crisp patrol]

so gonna be stuck with smd diodes

[cunning anvil]

why do you say that?

[crisp patrol]

I misunderstood what you said nvm

[crisp patrol]

@cunning anvil any good kicad tutorials you know of?

[cunning anvil]

noahkiser on youtube is one i see passed around a lot

[vagrant quarry]

yup

[civic lily]

👀

[bitter oar]

that’ll be very nice

[civic lily]

i already have a coil cable with the quick release so i just bought the keyboard side when making a custom cable from cablemod

[civic lily]

the sound won’t be though, space bar especially, wooting switches are mediocre sounding

maybe the new case will help with sound

[bitter oar]

hall effect switches have acceptable sound profile imo

[civic lily]

spacebar is very clacky, rest of the keys are kinda creamy

and they get creamier as you go closer to the top row, it’s a bit odd

stock case is plastic so i’m pretty sure it’s just the case for why they sound different

[cunning anvil]

schlep

thats how my keys go

[somber loom]

I know this is bout keyboards but anyone got technical knowledge on mice?

[civic lily]

what about mice

i know a little bit about lightweight gaming mice

dang keyboard channel again

uhh attiny85 keyboard

[thick totem]

are there any companies that have good quality keycaps

[ornate walrus]

Mb I should've posted this somewhere else

[thick totem]

ty

[chrome raft]

My 6, 7, and 8 keys sound like they have different switches (this just started happening)

i kinda like it ngl

[oblique blaze]

should i replace my Gateron browns with any other switch? if so what switch (for reference i have a stock NuPhy Halo75)

cause i want tactile for sure but idk if i want to get rid of the browns yet

[thick totem]

is there 60% keyboard thats cheap that people usually change the parts for?

was planning to usehttps://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q2-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40770772729945

but im starting to think the price isnt worth it

any keyboard that doesnt light up really i want

[boreal rivet]

Couple 100usd ones on chinese ebay rn

what would you guys recommend for light silent linear switches?

i’m in the USA and price isn’t really a concern

i would rather not join any groupbuys or have to wait a long time though

Is it worth upgrading from this ancient relic?

whoa

[topaz sparrow]

Is Vaseline a good lube?

[brittle pewter]

can i get some switch recommendations for spamming the shit out of a key like a spacebar
i prefer linear but its whatever. just something designed to spam fast

[crisp patrol]

no

[topaz sparrow]

Lol

No lube is better than vaseline?

[boreal rivet]

vaseline is good actually

do use it and share your experience

[minor moon]

Can someone help me find a pcb and a case that would allow me to build a similar keyboard

https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-v2-mechanical-keyboard?defaultSelectionIds=981286%2C981288

[drifting mauve]

I used to own a razer blackwidow 2013 w/ mx blue's
My current daily is a tofu 60 2.0
Yes, absolutely

But if your gonna buy another gaming full size I would keep it

If your gonna buy a custom qmk programmable 60-75% I would go for it

Another words if your gonna upgrade I would stay away from razer, logitech, steelseries etc
just.. please spend your money wisely and get a real fucking keyboard

[granite bane]

truer words have never been spoken

my custom 65% board recently died, after six years of service so I'm replacing it with a keychron q1 mostly because I need a replacement asap

currently I'm borrowing my dad's old full size cherry mx blue keyboard and it's better than my only other backup keyboard which is a razer membrane

[boreal rivet]

Should’ve bought a realforce

[slow horizon]

Finally diving into the world of replacing my switches.

Didn’t like the stock ones that came on the RK-M75 that I have, so I’m now trying to find a more solid alternative.

[bronze jolt]

So what you're saying is:
Gaming keyboard = bad
Custom mechanical = good?

[slow horizon]

So I’m looking into some Switches.

From this testing board. Anybody good with identifying them?

[boreal rivet]

Buy a realforce

[slow horizon]

Buy a what now

[drifting mauve]

You will also thank yourself later if you ever switch from windows to linux
to just load a custom qmk firmware instead of going through proprietary gaming software bullshit

corsair ique is esp bad

[vivid axle]

Bought me a new Keyboard. Replaced the Red Switches in it with Gateron G Blues and Changed out the Keycaps with something from epomaker. Also Got lucky to buy the Keyboard itself for second hand.

[bronze jolt]

I'm already on arch

I was thinkking of getting a keychron k1 since I like low profile keys

[drifting mauve]

k1 isn't bad for the price esp
from reviews I've seen keys kinda wobbly.. lp gateron switches are harder to find keycaps for than lp kailh (If you ever wanted yo upgrade the keycaps, stabs are also proprietary I think

from soundtests I've heard its nice tho

There also aren't many other options for a low profile full size

[drifting mauve]

same
good choice

gotta upgrade to kernel 6.9.5 .. Its been a minute since I last updated lol

[modest condor]

did anyone say Arch? https://i.imgur.com/Fyikwq6.jpeg

[vocal breach]

I currently have the redragon k556 dharma pro stock, I damaged a few of the keycaps, will any keycaps work on it? And any recommendations for a budget keycap set?

[drifting mauve]

||we really went from "I also use arch" to "I own a redragon" in a matter of hours
keeb chat fell off ||

[boreal rivet]

using arch isn't the flex you think it is lil bro

[twilit sundial]

Yes, anyone who can read install arch and any other distro for that matter. Just follow the install guide.

[cunning anvil]

maybe next time you'll think twice before trying to FLEX

hehe

idk who's "flexing"

tbqh

[chilly perch]

Keychron and windows 11

W normie life

[frigid steeple]

Any recs for a keyboard? I use the razer huntman mini, purple switches (I enjoy it). I want something more custom, with a nice "creamy" sound when I type? I love the colorway that looks natural (think rustic/wood/green) yk?

Keyboards are what I'm less knowledgable on

[boreal rivet]

realforce

[chilly perch]

just buy a keychron

[civic lily]

The Wooden Wooting

[civic lily]

get a keychron that’s in a default form factor then case swap and use Akko Cream Yellows

[frigid steeple]

This is fucking awesome!

[frigid steeple]

Can you link me to everything shown here?

[civic lily]

thanks, i have a custom cable coming in soon but it’s about a week out

[civic lily]

the PCB and switches just come from the Wooting 60HE+, i’ll grab the link to the case and the keycaps

Case:
https://a.co/d/0556IgcO

Keycaps:
https://a.co/d/0ajh1Zoe

i will say the case is harder to recommend because you can see the PCB and switches, that’s fine if they match the color scheme of your build but the 60HE+ PCB is white and nothing else here is white, also it’s completely flat and not ergonomic so you’d need to buy wedges to make it easier to type

https://a.co/d/0h6BymXa i just bought this but it’s not arrived yet so i don’t know how good it will be yet

they keycaps are really nice, and if you don’t mind the ergo shape it’s a really nice case

it comes with a wooden dust cover too

[wary knoll]

Anybody know what language this is? Russian?

[bronze jolt]

I think you've got the same keyboard as me

[bronze jolt]

Yeah, that looks russian

[cunning anvil]

Cyrillic

[frigid steeple]

Recommendations? Wood preferred

[frigid steeple]

Yes

I’m a little too lazy

I hardly understand the whole keyboard niche tbh

Never did anything custom w them

Always used razer kbs

[minor moon]

what are some good switches that are very clicky and make alot of noise

[wary knoll]

except it's not russian, I got this at a garage sale the russian script is also shine through so I find it pretty cool

early 2000s garbage plastic build is disappointing

[winter perch]

Are the novelkeys cream a good switch, should I pull the trigger on them?

[velvet zephyr]

can someone recommend a machanical 75% keyboard?

[drifting mauve]

I didn't say it was

nor do I think it is

I just think its cool that a lot of people use arch
glad to see people staying upstream

[median relic]

guys what are some good mechanical keyboard companies? looking to get a new one for around the 75£ pricepoint. I understand that means i'll probably be limited in my options

[echo creek]

can someone give me keyboard suggestions? I currently have the corsair k70 with cherry mx browns. I really like the metal frame and media controls, but i want something a little more enthusiast level and has a good medium clicky sound level, i kind of like the tactile of the browns but so far i haven’t found any. The closest one i’ve liked is the asus rog azoth, but i prefer to keep my ten key as i use it for production

[magic wolf]

Topre

[vocal breach]

I learnt from my mistakes brah 💔
|| + Got that keyboard for free lmao ||

[fervent dragon]

did you know that you can buy a brown switch mechanical keyboard for only 20 bucks?

that's how i got mine.

[vocal breach]

Whats a good under 75$ keyboard?
Preferably wireless with and a volume knob

I found this in Ali express, I have heard of the brand before not sure about it tho or what kind of company is making the switches https://a.aliexpress.com/_omMg3GI

Where can I find it? Can't find it on amazon

Out of my budget

[fiery sparrow]

question:i got a saturn mouse pad the smallest one they make wich is roughly 20x17 inches so it’s a square but i also want something under my keyboard,problem is most desk pads are too short for the saturn to sit on with no overhang and not sure about another solution

[main narwhal]

Custom mouse pad makers have all sorts of sizes

Do you have measurements for what you want?

[real fractal]

Hey yall i just bought a gaming keyboard its a Red Dragon Mechanical keyboard board for like 30 dollars bc it was On sale and i was wondering if its a good gaming keyboard?

https://a.co/d/02altj3Z

[boreal rivet]

no

you should spend 200 dollars on a wooting

it will help i promise

[granite bane]

does anyone have any recommendations for switches similar to Durock/Jwick T1 but a bit lighter?

[rugged summit]

$250 dollars on a Razer keyboard yeahhh

[modest creek]

Anyone use KTT Matcha switches?

They come highly recommended - just installed them - not totall sure how I feel about them yet

[cunning anvil]

you should use them more to find out

[modest creek]

They have a super snappy tactile feel - like the tactile part is super duper pronounced

[young spoke]

should i buy the k55 core (i have a no name brand membrane)

[median relic]

just bought a keychron k4

[drifting mauve]

Since getting a qmk compatible board and programming layers for mouse controls
..I've stopped using my mouse :P

[crisp patrol]

wasd mouse sounds miserable

[cunning anvil]

then don't lol

[drifting mauve]

It took a bit to get used to but its not much worse than the mouse nipple on the thinkpads

The acceleration is a bit weird tho
I sometimes just grab my mouse from my drawer and start using it for certain things

I've just found it more comfortable for neither of my hands to leave the keyboard yn

[light bison]

Is it worth paying a 20 dollar difference for MX RED SPEED switches compared to regular RED?

[drifting mauve]

imo no
mx reds are kinda mid anyways

all it is is a red with a shorter travel distance

This might be an outdated recomendation (I havent done much research in a while)
but I would go for gateron yellows

https://youtu.be/oQBWfKC5nxU?si=TY6vq7Be1Bx6ySnY

Personally I bought unlubed glorious lynx switches on a good deal awhile back (like $15 for 32 switches I think)

even the unlubed lynx switches are smoother than the factory lubed optical yellows in my old rk61

[wary knoll]

Question, just in terms of prestige is cherry still considered a good brand? Personally I always felt cherry switches wobble a lot and don’t feel as smooth as the Chinese brands in recent years.

[fiery sparrow]

i indeed do not

i bought a keebmat

felt series

[ornate cove]

What are people’s thoughts on the TKD brand? I know they’ve had some issues with their PCBs in the past, but the Cycle 8 is looking pretty appealing once it comes out.

[main narwhal]

i'm assuming they would have hashed out the daughterboard issues by now

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1cwfrev/psa_regarding_the_upcoming_tkd_cycle8_titanium/

[ornate cove]

Interesting post, I’d heard of this but it seems a lot worse than I thought. Guess I’ll have to keep that in mind for the next gb/sale

[hexed carbon]

anyone here preordered the lemokey p1 pro and got it? would love to hear some feedback

[chrome raft]

is there a ferris / ferris sweep but not low profile? idc if soldering required or already assembled? just want nice quality and ability to put in my own switches / caps

split (diy?) keyboard of good quality with ~~hotswap/~~solder own switches / own caps / not low profile

nvm. "hot swap is unreliable for curved keywell"

do all curved keywells use low pro switches? >w<

Thoughts on The Wooden Wooting?

its finally finished with the custom cable

[drifting mauve]

woodting

[drifting mauve]

mx blacks and ergo clears are pretty good
mx reds and blues aren't bad but there are def better linear and clicky options out there imo
and mx browns are just bad.. cherry has no f*cking idea how to make a tactile

[civic lily]

i’ve not seen many other wooden wootings, and also people don’t usually put non-black keycaps on their wooting

[boreal rivet]

would you like me to tell you how unique you are by not JUST swapping your case and keycaps like everyone else but also using a wooden case and 😲 light coloured keycaps!!!!!

[crisp patrol]

you should put an alps build in that case instead

[boreal rivet]

Floating key alps would be a unique aesthetic

[crisp patrol]

he doesn't speak here as much I've noticed

[glass surge]

I bought a leobog A75 and switched in some Monka sea salt pom tactile switches. It feels so nice and is actual well built for only $120 CAD

It also sounds great

it came with linears, but i dont like linears

the stabilzers are great

[civic lily]

those are called Alice Keyboards right? any decent recommendations for a wireless barebones one? preferably the same layout as yours; 75%

[glass surge]

Yeah. You can find some on KBD fans. Keychron also sells some. Not sure about the pricing on those though

It would be the q10 Alice, v10 Alice on keychron

[civic lily]

huh, $84 for a barebones wireless V10 Max, thats not a bad deal, ive never bought a Keychron but ive heard they have good "price to performance"

[glass surge]

Just make sure it's not the slim

Or do you like the slim keyboards

[civic lily]

its not, thanks though

do you think i should go with the fully assembled for the switches or buy some budget akko switches? they only have Gateron Jupiter Brown in their fully assembled ones

[glass surge]

Do you like tactiles?

[civic lily]

ik its personal opinion, i like to see others opinions aswell

ive used gatteron pro yellows, are those ones tactile? all the rest ive used IK are linear

[glass surge]

Those are linear

Should be at least

[civic lily]

ive never used tactile then

[glass surge]

Get the barebones, then get compatible switches (make sure they have the right pins) and a supported keycap set for alice

Don't make the mistake I did of cheaping out on a 30$ keycap set on Amazon and getting poorly made keycaps

Like you can see the function button doesn't even fit on my old one

[civic lily]

i have a massive kit from Drop that i used on my wooting until i wanted to brighten up my wooting

its like 200+ keys

im sure i wouldnt struggle to have the keys, maybe find them though lol

idk if the kit has alice space bars though

[glass surge]

Oh you should def have them then

200+ keys

[civic lily]

yeah theyre at the bottom

i just checked the listing

this isnt even all the keycaps

[glass surge]

Nice

Just find yourself a good set of switches

Not sure if too late, but here's a bunch of part numbers you can keep an eye out: https://sharktastica.co.uk/kb_db_list?search=model_m-e_can_mod. At least in North America and the UK, you can generally find these pretty easily as they've been made for a while and are still made.

[limber ruin]

I did find the keyboard

[pseudo bolt]

Cool, enjoy!
