peripherals

[spiral mica]

yeah

[cunning anvil]

this baby slaps

absolute pain to figure out so im proud of it

[timber zinc]

What would be a good keyboard then?

[boreal rivet]

realforce

[timber zinc]

Which model in specific

[boreal rivet]

R1 104u 55g or r2-us5

[bronze thistle]

Is that a split you're going to be connecting with RJ45??

[cunning anvil]

yes :D

[bronze thistle]

Cool

And probably safer, shorting-wise (edit: not probably, it's clearly safer, even if not hot pluggable)

[cunning anvil]

i realize rn i could skip the shift register with a pro micro

that would make it qmk compatible

[prime mirage]

Just ordered my wooting….

[crisp patrol]

are you going to be using cat4 cables or what?

[cunning anvil]

whatever cat i got

[crisp patrol]

ah

[cunning anvil]

i have 1ft cables

[crisp patrol]

lol

I'd buy a box and do a custom cut

it's cheaper but tbf I'm stingy

[cunning anvil]

box?

[crisp patrol]

a spool I mean

[cunning anvil]

ah

[chilly perch]

Implement your own scanning logic in qmk and use a shift register anyways 🙂

[cunning anvil]

eh sounds like effort, ill just not use qmk ;P

maybe if i wanna play with code

[chilly perch]

I plan on doing that but I havent gotten around to it, not actually sure how you implement such a feature

surely its just a few write and read calls on a loop

[cunning anvil]

ZMK gud

you can always bitbang

but if im writing a scanner itll be for the attiny

[chilly perch]

Is attiny calable of being a keyboard?

[cunning anvil]

technically!

[boreal rivet]

How long did it take for you to arrange those loose caps and switches

[pure sundial]

Like 5min lol

Actually less i think

[boreal rivet]

Lame

[pure sundial]

Erm what

[past vortex]

So GWT found that there can be diffrence between listed travel and actual travel on switches. Along with the force required. And because of the varience they're increasing their sample size.

[boreal rivet]

Wow it’s almost as if tolerances and shrinking exists

[worldly garden]

how can people argue over whether keyboard is for typing or displaying

💀

[charred plank]

I am so hyped

1 week left for neo 75 release

[charred plank]

sound after redesigning the mount

[arctic shuttle]

Already have a keyboard full of Ari Yellows

[patent belfry]

sounds like a keyboard

[waxen charm]

can someone identify this keyboard? all i know is its old and wooden and uses some really weird connector

[royal patrol]

Leobog Hi75 and Akko Rosewoods (completely stock, no modification done to board, stabs, or switches)

sounds surprisingly good already

[charred plank]

Nice

Leobog hi75 is an incredibly good sounding aluminum board considering what it costs

[royal patrol]

yeah im shocked that someone can get this nice of an experience with less than $150 total and no mods

[patent belfry]

this looks amazing

if you get an answer id like to know too

[pure sundial]

m- my eyes

[patent belfry]

looks like someone bought a SP grab bag

[trail galleon]

its a ribbon cable

[worldly garden]

The number 4 from SA commando worth something

[trail galleon]

looks like I had a seizure

[worldly garden]

Used to have a siniliar set

It is dumb as fuck

[trail galleon]

I want avatar the last airbender keycaps but all I get is fucking T-shirts and plushes and posters

[trail galleon]

from a quick search online aparently its an old apple keyboard

[waxen charm]

really? i didn't get any reverse image results, i might try and snatch it but i have no idea what kind of usb-ribbon cable adapter to use since most of them are for completely unrelated things

[trail galleon]

yeah it was the closest thing I saw

[pure sundial]

yippeeee

my spacebar isnt rattily anymore

it only took like 10+ hours to figure out what what wrong

(the fricken stabs weres tuned)

[neat yacht]

hullo

looking for a legit real pink keyboard and mouse

that look cute. all pink.

but isnt like a toy / bad quality.

dont really know much about either

dont know top brands

[worldly garden]

Realforce

[fast dove]

is yunzii b75 pro good ?

[patent belfry]

no

[lost lodge]

the mchose kb's build quality is really good, while the akko mod007 one has the hall effect switches and a lot of flex (knob as well). Which one should I get?

[spiral mica]

mod007 non he is good

the he is not

mchose is alright but nothing special

[mint swan]

i want to buy a new 100% or more keyboard thats mechanical and not too loud is there any that u guys recommend

cant really just google it anymore because of so many paid articles

it would be good if there was a decent keyboard on amazon uk

[spiral mica]

budget?

also use?

[mint swan]

just daily use

i dont really have a budget ill spend anything

[spiral mica]

realforce is a really good silent board for typing

[mint swan]

just dont need to go too crazy

i dont know how much to spend

[spiral mica]

nothing fancy but one of the best typing board

[mint swan]

well my last keyboard broke so im replacing it

it was quite old

i need something with media keys really

[lost lodge]

Sadly it isn’t isn’t in stock here, should I get the monsgeek m1w v3 or the m3w

[mint swan]

i like old looking keyboards but thats because ive only used a old one

[spiral mica]

m3w

m1w v3 kinda ass with it being spray coated and no side accent

[mint swan]

i could do with one that looks like this

[lost lodge]

Ohh alright

[spiral mica]

actually realforce

standard full size

silent

[lost lodge]

Does the m3w sound thocky?

[spiral mica]

thocky is a lie

[mint swan]

my last keyboard was nice to type on and was quiet

[spiral mica]

everything can be thocky

just stuff foam

and pom plate

but uh yes

[spiral mica]

realforce

not much silent full size prebuilt out there anyways

[mint swan]

can i get them on amazon

[spiral mica]

idk

[mint swan]

im used to foam foil switches at work

i think thats what u call it

is the logitech g915 x good

[lost lodge]

Heard the m3w has a lot of foam stuffed into it

But it doesn’t really have a knob

[mint swan]

i dont really need volume control i just need the one for tracks

[spiral mica]

realforce

not joking

[mint swan]

u keep saying it but i cant find any in the uk

[spiral mica]

oh rip

[mint swan]

is the Keychron Q5 Max good

[lost lodge]

Is the M3W’s case made out of aluminum?

[spiral mica]

yes

[spiral mica]

decent

[lost lodge]

Oh bet

[lost lodge]

I can’t get my head over how the space bar of the m3w sounds weird

[spiral mica]

change the stabs

[lost lodge]

That all?

Will lubing it fix it?

[spiral mica]

stabs need tuning

[mint swan]

is there any keyboards that dont need much maintenance

[charred plank]

For its price its kinda terrible imo

Imo it's the worst stock sounding aluminum board I know of

If you have a q series budget just get a neo75 tbh

Q series should unironically cost less than hi75 imo

Thing is just super pingy and basic

[mint swan]

cant buy it anywhere in the uk

[lost lodge]

yo uh

the pink version of the m3w is available only

and the black version of the m1w v3

what do I do

[spiral mica]

just get whichever you want

[lost lodge]

its honestly about the build quality and sound profile

[spiral mica]

similar

just m3 has better coating imo

[lost lodge]

heard that the m3w doesnt have a rgb sideline

[boreal rivet]

import one from japan

or korea

[worldly garden]

Prototypist is a keyboard vendor in uk

[fast dove]

why

[patent belfry]

its just not

[charred plank]

It's out in 5 days

This is it

[spiral mica]

eh, just a very standard 75 layout

its good to have more options and the price is prob going to be pretty good

and it looks decent

but nothing to be overhyped about tbh

curious how its bottom mount is going to work out tho

[patent belfry]

https://clickclack.io/products/tkd-pt1-75-mechanical-keyboard-kit

[patent belfry]

Part 1 is definately the 75% winner rn

[spiral mica]

interesting how 75% is so common for budget builds but quite rare for more premium ones

[patent belfry]

i have one high end 75, its nice

[mint swan]

not buying one i have to build

i found the Keychron V5 Max is it any good

[mint swan]

it has brown red or yellow switches not sure which one is best

[charred plank]

Imo no

They're a little over $100 and imo they sound kinda like the $20-40 entry level hotswap boards you can get all over Amazon and AliExpress

[mint swan]

i dont really care what it sounds like

as long as it isnt loud

and doesnt sound like a razer keyboard

[mint swan]

might just buy it because no one else has suggested a good alternative

just not sure which switches to use

[charred plank]

Just get a prebuilt leobog tbh. It's a better deal to buy it bare bones and just place in some good switches and caps but if that's too much there are pre made versions of the hi75

[mint swan]

and that hi75 is tiny

[cunning anvil]

vault35 is pretty funny

not a suggestion

[charred plank]

@mint swan do you need full size? Do you use the numpad often?

[mint swan]

yes

[cunning anvil]

data entry type beat

[mint swan]

it's so annoying not having one

I'm ordering a keyboard in the next few hours so

[cunning anvil]

this fuckin thing lol

no pinky movement??

[mint swan]

just gonna buy that keyboard I guess

[cunning anvil]

@crisp patrol

tiny baby

[opaque ivy]

what’s a good keyboard for like 60$? i don’t really need a good good keyboard, but i was thinking the ak820pro

[crisp patrol]

baller

[lost lodge]

can you help me get a hold of the Monsgeek M1W V3's black prebuilt prebuilt variant in bangladesh 😭

it isnt available anywhere

[spiral mica]

AliExpress

[lost lodge]

and the next shipment is comin in december

[lost lodge]

gotta wait till december for it to arrive then

because the official distributors are going to bring it to the country in december

the barebones kit costs like 10k BDT which is out of my budget since the switches will cost 3k+

[worldly garden]

I believe the m1w came prebuilt

U dont need to buy any extras except u want to

[lost lodge]

yes but the prebuilt's black version isnt available anywhere

in bangladesh

I heard that the m1w V5 will be announced "this week"

the hall effect version is available at an app but this is cheaper than the official importer's price of the hall effect version for some reason

[worldly garden]

If u play games then HE could come into handy

And cover ur fucking address

[peak scroll]

anyone got a good recommendation for a keyboard from 12k-15k inr ( 142-178$)
preferably should be available in Amazon

my requirements are that it should have RGB and 60-75% and hot swappable (although most keyboards in these range are hot swappable)

any help is appreciated

[patent belfry]

pick one and go with it at that price point

[lavish python]

Hi there, can anyone pls recommend me a white-cream color 60% frame with PCB included?
switches and keycaps will be purchase separately

[worldly garden]

tofu60 FA

or 2.0

[clear coral]

Has anyone heard of keycap stems cracking on first edition keychron Q1? For me three have already cracked...
Almost 3 years old, used daily but generally cared for
Looks like i will have to put away some spare change and start hunting for a full custom

[worldly garden]

yes get a gmk set

[clear coral]

Something like that?

I don't expect you to understand it of course

but generally GMK<numbers> stuff?

In some local stores i can see GMK87 80%

329 PLN for a barebones, that would be 82 dollars tax included

made by "Zuoya" whatever that means

[worldly garden]

no the keycap set

[clear coral]

ah fair enough, that would be more responsible but i kinda see that failure as an opportunity to assemble something new from scratch

[worldly garden]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/gmk-keycaps?srsltid=AfmBOoroWK7gcv9lDLQbazcEuv7pRx8Mb2NU18ToSMN3fmRr2yczUGcm

thiss iss what i mean

[clear coral]

I see

Would you recommend anything self-assembled up to let's say 1.5x the price of keychron q1?

75-80%

[worldly garden]

howw much was ur q1

[thick totem]

js doxxed yourself

[clear coral]

around 1000 PLN, so let's say up to 1500 PLN which comes around 375 USD

after tax

worst case screw the tax

i'm not american tax-minded

I pay the same price i see up front here

also likely it won't be needed but i'm profficient with soldering

never soldered a keyboard in particular but i will manage

I imagine most stuff is hot-swap anyway

[coral ferry]

What's the weirdest keyboard switch you've seen? Like. someone made a keyboard with residential lightswitches.

What about a keyboard that uses a manual typewriter for the keys, but it's modified so the key strikes a copper plate or something and that counts as the key press

[worldly garden]

Pt1.75 from tkd

Or neo 75 which will be released at the end of this month

[worldly garden]

Some people i knew made weird ass franken switches

[coral ferry]

If i wasn't so lazy, i probably could just buy new springs

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51HF4xYLMiL._AC_SL1000_.jpg

1/4" is probably too big

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41j41viHUhL._SL1100_.jpg

If I buy 20 50mm long springs...does that mean I can cut them all in half and get 40 25mm long springs?

[storm ivy]

Absolute keyboard newb here 👋

Just got an Aula F99 and I’m dead happy with it tbh!

The linea switches sound good, but I could stand to go thockier.
Also is there some vital software I could do with getting??

Appreciate y’all 👍

[charred plank]

Sounds super deep

Love it

@mint swan that keyboard would also be a better option tbh

[mint swan]

do not care

[charred plank]

Oof

[charred plank]

Just 4 more days

I'm hyped

[storm ivy]

Cheers my dude 🫡

[tepid nebula]

Hey, looking for a keyboard cause my keyboard broke while moving, i used to have the corsair k95 rgb platinum XT
I prefer a full keyboard with numberpad etc and love media controls on it.
budget is 250 to 300 usd MAX any suggestions?

[clear coral]

What do you mean?

[patent belfry]

300$ will buy you something in mechmarket discord of quite high quality

fully built

200$ board 75$ gmk base kit

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[charred plank]

That's insanely overpriced for a q series imo

[tame thistle]

Wishlisting this keyboard

[worldly garden]

Is a 20 bucks e waste right

[tame thistle]

My setup's full of e-waste, my guy :)

I'm sorry if my broke ass can't get a high-quality, top-of-the-line, custom mechanical keyboard 'n shit

[mint swan]

how do you use the function keys on that keyboard

[spiral mica]

fn+number

[lost lodge]

thats not even my address 😭

[tame thistle]

What this guy said

[worldly garden]

U can always look up for something better

[peak scroll]

any notable company?

[patent belfry]

not really

maybe filco, Leopold, realforce

[peak scroll]

i literally never heard of them

what about keychron @patent belfry

[patent belfry]

yeah sure that works too

https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1gcfev2/got_hacked/

just keep in mind this is currently a thing. so buy new.

[peak scroll]

alright then I'll go with that and any more companies you wanaa mention which are popular like Razer

[patent belfry]

not really. I tried a keyboard at best buy a week or two ago. it was really nice but I can't remember the name

by Logitech maybe

[peak scroll]

the suppliers on amazon are sketchy

for me

so do you have any specific suggestion?

[patent belfry]

buy from keychron then.

[peak scroll]

60-70%
RGB
bt and wired

[peak scroll]

they are suspicious

1s

Keychron K8 Tenkeyless Wireless Mechanical Keyboard for Mac, RGB Backlight, Bluetooth, Multitasking, Type-C Wired Gaming Keyboard for Windows with Gateron G Pro Brown Switch https://amzn.in/d/cVay4JQ

@patent belfry doess this look suspicious

0 reviews in my country

[patent belfry]

no

[tame thistle]

How's this?

[brave remnant]

Can someone give me a good 70 -100% keyboard from Steelseries, razer, Hyper x or Logitech.

RGB

From 100 - 250$

Norwegain Layout

If wireless has to have USB reciever not bluetooth and from 2020 - recent date.

Anyone who can help?

[bitter oar]

that can happen to basicly any kb tbh

not exclusive just to keychron

[bitter oar]

sorry but those companies don’t have good keyboards

[brave remnant]

Keychron?

Looking at this

https://www.komplett.no/product/1245358/gaming/gaming-utstyr/gamingtastatur/keychron-k2-v2-rgb-gateron-red-traadloest-tastatur?queryid=42317b2337b13cb0207b4e1c5eeaa878&sort=None

[bitter oar]

that works though keychron is bit overpriced nowadays

[brave remnant]

it's on discount for 100$

Money ain't really a problem

[bitter oar]

oh norwegean layout mb

[bitter oar]

i’d not suggest buying keychron k series, they’re their bottom tier lineup

[brave remnant]

Ragh!

hmmm

any of these companies good

Becuase they are the closest

Any cheap keyboards in your country would prob come in the same cost because norwegian shipping is a pain expensive tho

[spiral mica]

keychron and some varmilo are decent

but yeah try to avoid k series

[charred plank]

Get a leobog hi75

[brave remnant]

https://www.komplett.no/product/1312521/gaming/gaming-utstyr/gamingtastatur/varmilo-vpt88-moonlight-v3-tkl-traadloest-gamingtastatur?queryid=a51bb175a514351d78bbeab8bf441e91&sort=None

[charred plank]

It'll be cheaper and just better

K series is like an early 2010's Razer keyboard but at $80 instead of the $5-10 you'll usually find those at goodwill

K series also probably had the most rampant battery issues of any keyboard which people like to forget when shilling keychron while claiming all other brands batteries will blow up

[spiral mica]

their low ends are not good

minilo is somewhat fine and sword is pretty decent

but this is prob worse than k series

[charred plank]

I genuinely can't think of how something can be worse than k series other than in maybe unusable switches being used

K series competes more with bad gaming OEM boards from 10 years ago

V series is at least bad relative to modern stuff

[spiral mica]

have you used a K series board

its bad, but still better than those gaming boards

[charred plank]

Don't own one but again I've used one. It was a lot like an old cooler master oem board I had

It's just not good

In its price range hi75 exists

[spiral mica]

K series with enough modding is not rly that bad

but its a lot of work

[charred plank]

Why do a ton of mods to get it to still sound worse than cheaper boards?

[patent belfry]

just buy a good keyboard

one and done

[charred plank]

I get having a budget but like don't use it in stupid ways

$80 used on a good $50 board and switches and caps will still be better than $80 used on a board that sounds straight out the recycling bin

[brave remnant]

what does TKL stand for?

[worldly garden]

Ten key less

[brave remnant]

is this

[charred plank]

Don't get a Razer

[brave remnant]

ok..

[worldly garden]

https://youtu.be/FAKVoweoEiA?si=I92m56rnuoFQmyRR

[charred plank]

Tbh, don't get anything from the big gaming brands

[brave remnant]

why?

[charred plank]

They're stupidly marked up

[brave remnant]

Any other reason?

[charred plank]

And the ones that sound halfway competent are usually 100`s of dollars instead of the $50-100 they should be

And the rest are usually just terrible

[brave remnant]

why?

[charred plank]

Bad feel, bad sound, non standard layouts, non standard stabs, etc

[brave remnant]

it has a scandinavian layout so it's all the same?

[charred plank]

It's kinda the same reason it makes more sense to build a PC than to buy an apple mac

[brave remnant]

i'm gonna use it for gaming and work.

[brave remnant]

Apple has it fair share for it's uses

[charred plank]

Your seiling for what you can get goes up in the high end and in the lower end you still are getting way more per$

[charred plank]

Not really

You just pay more and get less

[brave remnant]

Apple products specifies in what it is good in.

[charred plank]

Being slow?

[spiral mica]

if your only choice is between keychron and gaming brands, any keychron would be better

[charred plank]

And even if you like their software it can be flashed in any pc

[spiral mica]

as much as I do not recommend K series, it would still be better than gaming boards at the same price

[brave remnant]

I don't use apple 💀

[spiral mica]

and it is easier to get keychron in some less common layout

[brave remnant]

I just reconize that apple has features to be proud of.

[charred plank]

If he's in Europe he should have access to AliExpress

So he can still get a hi75 for like $40-50

[brave remnant]

Don't trust Ali. Just personally

[charred plank]

They don't though

[charred plank]

It's if anything more reliable than Amazon

Fewer mislisted things and fewer straight up scam listings

[brave remnant]

Don't like amazon

They scammed me two times.

[patent belfry]

this sounds like cap

ive been ordering from amazon basically since they became a storefront

[brave remnant]

Or just slow delivery

IDK?

[charred plank]

I've had a few scam listings on Amazon that upset me

[patent belfry]

scamming and slow delivery are 2 vastly different things

[brave remnant]

One day they just hit me up your order has been refunded

[charred plank]

I always get my money back but it's annoying

[brave remnant]

I got my money back not that

[patent belfry]

be smart online

[brave remnant]

yes

[patent belfry]

that isnt an amazon issue thats a seller on amazon issue, and if you dont report it or whatever. it will still continue to happen

[brave remnant]

Have done.

[junior fjord]

Does anyone have any interesting resources for keyboards? Or am I better to ask a question directly :v

I'm wondering if there's any modern keyboard with old style, the 90'-ish/early 2000 kind of style

Funny enough I found a similar keyboard at work recently.
Apparently, this specific keyboard I've found was used by switchboard operators back in the day. It's super cool, but I can't find anything about such keyboard online. Rarest keyboard? :v

[worldly garden]

You want to know about vintages ?

[junior fjord]

Not really know, but if there's any website that yap about it or recommend some

Would still be lovingly interesting tho, I'd take whatever you got :)

[chrome raft]

what yall think about the drop hallowheel

i got bogo keycaps and 30 off if the order is over 130

[cedar spindle]

Vortex SSK TKL might be up your street

[junior fjord]

ok, good looking, but...
i really forgot how expensive those are

[junior fjord]

btw answer up there

[patent belfry]

depends on the keycaps

might hop on the group buy anyone heard anything about this?

[boreal rivet]

you should hop on the realforce

[charred plank]

They look really good but I'm still more excited for neo75

[patent belfry]

someone who worked with Cannon keys admitted to releasing mostly budget/cheap boards. not sure this is going to be any different

[loud nova]

Wuque Studio WS Silent tactile, Keychron C1, poron foam kit, plus switch isolators

[boreal rivet]

Realforce is better

[loud nova]

Better in what way, exactly? Availability? Price?

[patent belfry]

[proper dagger]

I’ve been buying from them for a while. It was designed by Upas and he’s behind a bunch of super high quality keyboards (Satisfaction 75, ripple TKL ect.) They do make a lot of budget stuff and the budget stuff they they do make is amazing

[patent belfry]

[proper dagger]

No hate but what’s so special about the neo 75?

[proper dagger]

?

[boreal rivet]

Feel, keycaps and looks

R3 looks shit though I won’t lie

[proper dagger]

Aren’t they plain black and plastic?

[boreal rivet]

My steelcase gesture is also plastic

[proper dagger]

And the keycaps can’t be better than something like GMK

[proper dagger]

A lot of chairs are plastic yes

[boreal rivet]

One of the few good dyesub pbt keycaps

[loud nova]

good for you? you gatekeeping fuckwit?

[boreal rivet]

Wow so rude

I can see how real force would be nice but like I really like aluminum and customizing with fun colors and stuff as well as picking my switches and all that

[gusty furnace]

Come back when people give a fuck lmfao

[proper dagger]

Better is subjective

[patent belfry]

I care

[loud nova]

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying you're a dickhead.

[proper dagger]

I don’t want a plastic keyboard

[patent belfry]

he just said it was bad

how is that being a dickhead

[boreal rivet]

Wow that means alot to me

[boreal rivet]

I don’t care what people think

[loud nova]

You are literally the cancer of niche communities

[proper dagger]

Keycult is better

[gusty furnace]

Or communities in general for that matter kek

[boreal rivet]

So true brother

[gusty furnace]

Yeah you do, otherwise your dumbass wouldn't go around telling people X is better kek

[loud nova]

true, but larger communities have enough voices to reject people like that

[boreal rivet]

I don’t go around saying this tho

It’s just here

It’s fun triggering people like you

[gusty furnace]

Yes, you absolutely trigger me

[loud nova]

ah yes, the "I was only pretending" defense

[boreal rivet]

I’m not pretending

I am of the opinion that realforce is better

[loud nova]

yes, that's not the part that matters

[boreal rivet]

Sure brother

[gusty furnace]

But good to know you admit that you're only here to piss people off kek

[loud nova]

the part that matters is that you thought that was an appropriate way to respond.

[patent belfry]

realforce>

[boreal rivet]

It’s good to help people speed run a dead hobby

Waste less time and money

🙏

[proper dagger]

Real force will never be better than a nice keyboard like a keycult or something like that with gmk keycaps

[loud nova]

lol. I was perfectly happy with the keychron C1 in this setup - I just needed it to be quieter.

[gusty furnace]

Tbf his message history does clearly show he's hardcore shilling for whoever Realforce is and is about as much of an asshole as we are lmfao

[boreal rivet]

Ignorance is bliss

You go buddy

🫡

[loud nova]

the good news is that @boreal rivet has tried every keyboard on the planet, and realforce is "better"

[boreal rivet]

So true

Thank you for backing me up here

[loud nova]

budget, availability, personal preference, aesthetics, all irrelevant

[gusty furnace]

Paying $300 for a cheap ahh plastic keyboard sounds amazing

[gusty furnace]

Oh he's quite literally said he doesn't care about other people's needs lmao

It's all in his message history

[charred plank]

Cheap board with a big copper base and a really unique looking and complex design

[patent belfry]

y'all suck

[gusty furnace]

True

[boreal rivet]

Grown dudes getting pressed over a strong opinion 🥱

[patent belfry]

that's the discord way

[charred plank]

Gatekeeping is kinda a bigger issue in keyboard community than most tbf

[spiral mica]

only here tbh

r/mk and a lot of other communities have barely any gatekeeping

no idea why this place is different

[patent belfry]

rf is better in HIS opinion, that's okay if you disagree

you don't have to name call and be a douche about it.

there is something for everyone

[charred plank]

Have you been on their discord?

[boreal rivet]

Have you seen kb kustoms pre covid

That was THE gated community

[spiral mica]

no

[charred plank]

I started a war there by just suggesting not lying to noobs to get them to make a purchase

Like, that should have been the most tame take ever taken

[spiral mica]

I mean you started a war here too so uh

[patent belfry]

kustoms>>>

[charred plank]

Keyboard reddit people also have a very "get this or I won't help you and I will make sure nobody else can help you either" mentality

Very shill heavy

[loud nova]

You miss the point ENTIRELY

[charred plank]

His issue seems to be more with how he used that as if it's a fact and to discredit his build

Which is kinda just toxic

[loud nova]

personally? IDGAF, but it's toxic gatekeeping bullshit.

and most people won't call out bullshit behaviour when they see it, so I do.

[charred plank]

Keyboard community is kinda behind every other hobby I've tried when it comes to trying to grow or having meaningful conversation tbh

[boreal rivet]

Thank you for your service 🙏

[charred plank]

But it is still growing pretty fast cause Chinese manufacturers spamming the market

So tbf it's surviving without consumers forcing competition

[proper dagger]

Nothing can really be “better” when everything is so subjective

[loud nova]

particularly when all I needed was .. a quieter keyboard.

[charred plank]

I also think @boreal rivet is just playing a bit tbf

[patent belfry]

the amount of tone policing is crazy, it's not that serious

[spiral mica]

unironically tho realforce (and topre) is the best silent switch/board I have used

[loud nova]

"it's just the internet, real people don't use the internet!"

[loud nova]

oh, I'm sure it's good.

[charred plank]

He played some odd but of hating vintage headphones before too

I think it's just a thing he does

So don't take it too serious

[boreal rivet]

I agree, mean speech is violence

[charred plank]

@boreal rivet opinion on this box?

[boreal rivet]

Peak

[boreal rivet]

I should mention

The gatekeeping happens in the form of private servers now

That’s why you don’t see it

[patent belfry]

literally

back the way it used to be

[charred plank]

Nah, it's just shifted to "get something from this company or bad" and using the excuse of "everything (except what's being shilled at that time) has QC issues or will explode for reasons I can't explain or elaborate on"

And in some cases "get this or you can't be part of our community"

[patent belfry]

nah I kind of agree with MX on that one

[charred plank]

Tbf, gatekeeping was worse in older keyboard communities

But they also were arguably less toxic and more open minded too

They just hate kept very certain things very ferociously

[worldly garden]

🤡

Keycult WAS nice

[bitter oar]

i’m surprised the realforce group ™ is still arguing here to get people buying realforces/hhkb

[proper dagger]

Still is a nice keyboard

Not saying it’s the best especially for the price

[bitter oar]

don’t you guys have time to be spent better than arguing here like some average twitter dudes that do not accept other people’s opinions, it’s funny their call people that do not agree whenever realforce is worth it or not “grown ups that argue” while straight up gatekeeping this chat for nearly a year and silencing their own community whenever they don’t like someone

and admitting to trolling as well, like really…

[boreal rivet]

“Realforce group” ain’t the ones who started with an ad hominem bruh

[void geyser]

realforce more like realshit

[boreal rivet]

Wow how creative and witty

[worldly garden]

I believe u never try it before right

[void geyser]

I do not care, it's a topre. basically a glorified membrane board

[bitter oar]

you can’t say you couldn’t have expressed your opinion without all the flaming and like explain to others explicitly why is realforce better

[spiral mica]

L take ngl

[bitter oar]

i haven’t said topre is bad i just don’t like it

if they’d be at better price my opinion about them would shift as well

[boreal rivet]

I didn’t flame nobody bruh

[patent belfry]

[spiral mica]

sadly prob not going to happen

and topre clones feels shit too

[boreal rivet]

Did you see the new one

Wack ass layout

[spiral mica]

idk if its the dome or what but it doesnt feel right

[worldly garden]

Fc980 💀

[spiral mica]

which

75% rf?

[boreal rivet]

Yes that one

[spiral mica]

I kinda like it

[boreal rivet]

Case looks shit too

[patent belfry]

the noob layout

[spiral mica]

very non-realforce but more option for topre layout is nice

[bitter oar]

you are telling me you’d jump on, insult someone inrl if someone would disagree with you that topre isn’t that good (in their opinion)?

[patent belfry]

he was the one being insulted

[boreal rivet]

Huh where are you getting this from bruh

[worldly garden]

Gotta watch this while building my keyboards

🍿

[patent belfry]

that Bob degenerate was literally name calling

MX didn't name call anyone

[bitter oar]

not now

[spiral mica]

I see like 5 different switches 💀

also is that some sort of bcp or what

[boreal rivet]

I’m a changed man kvetinky 😔

[worldly garden]

From old owner tho, removing them rn

[worldly garden]

Spot on

[boreal rivet]

It disheartens me that you doubt me so

[bitter oar]

then why do you spend time here still

[boreal rivet]

For fun bruh

[bitter oar]

is it though

[boreal rivet]

Yeah

[patent belfry]

you all act as if people shouldn't type here

[bitter oar]

uh, because realforce is better isn’t really helpful if he doesn’t give explanation to that

[patent belfry]

people are entitled to their own opinions

[bitter oar]

if you just say it’s better, that will confuse someone because someone else in a different server may say it’s not

[patent belfry]

if you don't like it, just don't respond. it's a pretty simple concept

[void geyser]

got a tofu60 case dupe

[spiral mica]

?????

[patent belfry]

spray coated tray mounted 60% keyboards are my fav

they are the BEST!!

[bitter oar]

i mean providing more context to the information… what’s wrong with that

?

[patent belfry]

nobody has to justify it for you

[prime mirage]

My wooting 60he+ gets here tomorrow!!!! I’m so excited at some point down the road im going to get the tofu redux case for it

[bitter oar]

topre is better, explaining why is important

for someone it may not be

[boreal rivet]

I did provide context tho

[boreal rivet]

Kvetinky did you not read the whole thing

[patent belfry]

that's a classic move on his part

I don't think you even have to ask that

[boreal rivet]

Oh man 😦

[bitter oar]

feel, keycaps and looks?

[boreal rivet]

Yeahhhh

[bitter oar]

that’s not enough context is it?

[patent belfry]

why is that a question

[boreal rivet]

Good enough for me man

[patent belfry]

^

[bitter oar]

someone may think that membrane feels better than a mechanical keyboard which is subjective, you gave subjective points tho not facts

expect for the keycaps

[patent belfry]

thanks captain obvious

[bitter oar]

which are indeed pbt

[spiral mica]

everything here is subjective

[patent belfry]

fr fr

[spiral mica]

you gotta expect subjective opinions if you are asking for recommendations

thats just how humans work

[patent belfry]

telling people it's "pReFeReNcE and SuBjEcTiVe" is literally the most captain obvious shit known to mankind

like we know dude

[bitter oar]

price is big consideration though

[patent belfry]

if you have to consider the price tag, keyboards might not be for you. it's a luxury hobby

[bitter oar]

and yet you fail to ask for their budget

[patent belfry]

where

[spiral mica]

eh its not that bad compared to cars and audio

[boreal rivet]

It’s true that buckling springs are better than most tho

[bitter oar]

the realforce spam ya been doing that’s atleast one of them whenever someone asks for a keyboard without stating budget, is it that hard just to ask

[patent belfry]

I'm not into audio, but I still want to succeed in that space relatively to what's out there. so I ask people with a brain

price is my last consideration

yet again, another luxury endeavor

[bitter oar]

you could say it’s their fault for not stating their budget but now, the person tells you they cannot afford a $200 keyboard or go used because they can’t

[boreal rivet]

Ngl in retrospective

Audio is really easy too

[patent belfry]

yeah

[boreal rivet]

Good a nice middle of the road headphone

Then just buy a good studio mon setup lmao

[patent belfry]

just like realforce, I know where this is going

[merry trench]

ill pay someone if they can help me figure out wt f wrong with my computer i cant download shi

I have a blackwidow 2 sitting in a closet

But I haven’t bothered to fix it lol

[spiral mica]

(also dont pay strangers online)

[patent belfry]

desoldered all mine for the switches

[boreal rivet]

Speakers too good

Blackwidow 2 as in the amplifier

[patent belfry]

I just have Kef q350 for desk setup and q950 for home theatre/phono

OHHH

I'm dumb sry

[boreal rivet]

I realised what it looked like after I sent it lol

[bitter oar]

yes, and you apply this to people that ask for a keyboard price is your last consideration, for most people it’s the first

[patent belfry]

it's over

[patent belfry]

is all gud

my amp is some pretty old Yamaha, does the job for now

need to do some more research before I upgrade

[boreal rivet]

Idk I’m just using my interface now

Bs650 is literally only used for gaming with friends now so amplification isn’t too big of a deal

[patent belfry]

aren't those like ceiling pot speakers?

from Beale

[boreal rivet]

Oh nah they’re just hd650s

Bs means black silk

[patent belfry]

[boreal rivet]

Rarer baffle variant is all

[patent belfry]

I'm thinking about possibly going ZMF for my next cans

[boreal rivet]

Zmf is so good

[patent belfry]

just trying to pick a popular non budget space brain rot headphone

[boreal rivet]

Zach always gets the epoxy mirror gloss

Hd800

I can’t remember which zmfs were popular

I think the auteur

[patent belfry]

no clue he's got so many options

auteur sounds famil

[boreal rivet]

Oh wait it was the Aeolus I heard alot about

Verite as well

Dunno about the newer models though

[patent belfry]

used >

usually anyways

[boreal rivet]

Used in audio is such good value

[patent belfry]

same with keyboards hahaha

[boreal rivet]

Everything depreciates like a mid 2000s Mercedes amg

[charred plank]

You flipped stances?

[boreal rivet]

Oh yeah utopia 2020 is good too

[patent belfry]

focal? ye heard good things

[charred plank]

Vintage audio gear is so amazing imo

[boreal rivet]

What are you talking about bruh

[charred plank]

Spend a lot of time restoring old headphones to basically new condition

[patent belfry]

i still rock the lcd2

fun to listen to

[boreal rivet]

Oh the he6 4 screw is also good

[charred plank]

Restored all these from falling apart and barely working to basically new

[boreal rivet]

Second one out of the only two good headphones hfm made

But also basically a time bomb

[charred plank]

Not a restoration but made a near perfect he6 6 screw remake out of an he6sev2

[patent belfry]

I like the he6 but I cant get over that headband

[charred plank]

Only remaining difference is the trace is a little thinner

[patent belfry]

suspension bands are the move

[charred plank]

Enough to make it 5 ohms higher in impedance

[boreal rivet]

I know a guy who designs them

[patent belfry]

bands?

hell yeah

[boreal rivet]

For non suspension band headphones I mean

Capra audio

If you ask him he might design one for you

[charred plank]

I'm going to find a better leather to see into the headband too

[patent belfry]

taking a look rn

super cheap too, I see he's got some ZMF bands too

[charred plank]

Better pic of it

The leather used on og was softer and less textured

So I need to rework it

[cunning anvil]

whats the caps? :o

yo thocc cute pfp

what happ to the knob

[patent belfry]

beige pfp uwu

[cunning anvil]

wob

b is beige

[patent belfry]

(:

[charred plank]

Got them on AliExpress pretty cheap. They were the closest thing to a blue sa profile set I could find that wasn't transparent

[patent belfry]

SA dasher clones sort of

• dancer

[charred plank]

I wouldn't call them clones

Seem to have their own unique design

[patent belfry]

it's a SA Dasher + Dancer clone

prob maxkey

they make nice ABS SA though

[lost lodge]

any monsgeek keyboard owners here?

[worldly garden]

🥱 yo

[torpid fable]

I am happily impressed with Aliexpress clones/ makes considering how much they go for + normally free shipping is also nice

[worldly garden]

Will satisfy any hipyo tech fanboys

[charred plank]

The one piece is real

[cunning anvil]

layout for new

xiao is the controller spot, eth is... ethernet

thinking of making another revision of this, what would be a cheap case material, assuming the same "mount"? im not sure what sounds good

will post pic of the svg case files in a sec

[dark sail]

Hello

[edgy saffron]

Just built my first custom mechanical keyboard and it feels mushy and sounds dull. Anyway to fix this? Or do these parts just not work well together.

Specs:

Neo80

Alum Plate

Vertex V One Switches

IFK BRED Keycaps

O ring + Sandwich Mount (Tried separate but didn't fix issue)

[worldly garden]

Didd u apply all the foams

[edgy saffron]

no foam

already know

foam bad

[worldly garden]

Not really

Try to apply ocb foam and see the difference

Pcb

[tame thistle]

Any good?
It has blue switches

[bitter oar]

probably not good but if it’s sufficient for you sure

that mouse though…

and welp you and your neighbours will probably go deaf from those blue switches

on that board

how much was it?

[tame thistle]

1600 Philippine Pesos

If the switches are hot-swappable, I could swap out the blue switches with red switches

[bitter oar]

off quick searching looks that particular model isn’t hotswappable

also, upgrading that board isn’t really worth it with your own switches, you will lose value by doing that

that money could’ve been spent on an actually decent prebuilt keyboard

[uncut hinge]

https://qwertykeys.notion.site/QK80-MK2-c963fa5dc8624dbd8bb862708a8d41a4 ow this looks very nice, might try to get one when PO opens

[patent belfry]

another matrix ripoff

[cunning anvil]

hon anything with mx uses a matrix

;P

[uncut hinge]

Idk any keyboard is a rip off of a typewriter

So let it be

[boreal rivet]

why join a group buy when you can buy a realforce right now

[spiral mica]

matrix navi+volt 2.0

[uncut hinge]

Not my likings, also no distributoe here so that sucks. The qk one has official distributor so price gonna be the same and no shipping/tax price

[boreal rivet]

Import one from japan

[uncut hinge]

Nyet

[boreal rivet]

your loss

[uncut hinge]

Ok

[worldly garden]

This

[patent belfry]

matrix lab

not a PCB matrix lol

[cunning anvil]

yea ikik

just bein silly

[patent belfry]

lelel

I want this so bad

[cunning anvil]

ooh i forgot to do this

stupid simple case

idk if its worth my time to make like a case case

but i wanna make it look nice, gonna try brass for the funny

[patent belfry]

all brass? yummy

[lost lodge]

are the keyboards reliable?

and is the software good?

[worldly garden]

Akko software is worse than any trash, beside that some monsgeek board supports via and qmk

[worldly garden]

Back in the time i bought it, it wwas the only alu boards in that price range, however these days there are better choices besides monsgeek

[charred plank]

Zoom75 tiga seems super interesting

[worldly garden]

im not into zoom series

😭

[spiral mica]

my experience with ws studio and meletrix is absolute garbage

zoom65 doesnt have a power off mode/option and basically when you touch any of the keys when it is in sleep mode it would turn itself on (including the backlight)

and my freya had 3 stripped and 1 broken screws

together with standoff that does not fit

never buying from ws studio again

[lost lodge]

I mean, the kb I picked has pretty much everything I could ask for so

[lost lodge]

is it worse than the ajazz and other chinese brands' software?

[worldly garden]

They are at the same level

But qmk/via redeemed it

[lost lodge]

just a reskin huh

[lost lodge]

only the ISO layout of the m1w has qmk support

🗿

[worldly garden]

Their software made me want to throw any akko board out of my window

[lost lodge]

ohno

[worldly garden]

Anyway are u thinking of buying a new board rn

[lost lodge]

I ordered mine a few days ago and its still processing at china

[lost lodge]

already ordered a m1w v3

if I do return it, whats your recommendation for around 12.4k BDT ($100)

[worldly garden]

🥱

With that wooting keycaps ?

[lost lodge]

the gradient ones are from wooting?

[worldly garden]

Neo65

[worldly garden]

We could say inspired design

[lost lodge]

75%

or TKL

[worldly garden]

Oh tough meat

[lost lodge]

plus I need a knob

[worldly garden]

Transition lite is another choice

[lost lodge]

no knob 💀

[worldly garden]

Is this your first keyboard?

[lost lodge]

third in a way

first one was some cheap havit board I got a few years ago

few as in like 4 years ago

then I got a corsair k68 rgb with cherry mx reds

[worldly garden]

U can stick to ur m1w

[lost lodge]

💀

[opaque ivy]

what r the best switches on the aula f75?

[tacit rose]

can confirm z75 is like that too
didnt get any bad parts in my kit luckily and i didnt buy a screen so i dont have to deal with the issues a lot of people had with that
went for it because the engraving was cute and the glass backplate thing the zoom series has going on is still unique to them
but it's pretty expensive for a 75% considering the kinds of cheaper options there are nowadays

[bitter oar]

does putting it on a desk mat help the sound any?

[bitter oar]

the cheapest reapers are fine

the extra few bucks are probably not worth the ice veins

[dark sail]

Its gonna dampen some sound

[opaque ivy]

same price for me

[bitter oar]

ice veins prob then

[opaque ivy]

what’s the difference between them? is the ice vein more creamy?

or like

[bitter oar]

it’ll change the sound profile a little

[opaque ivy]

idk

[bitter oar]

y, if you’re aiming for that

[edgy saffron]

don’t have a large desk mat. it just sits on a wooden table.

[bitter oar]

can’t go wrong with either

how much does the f75 cost for you though

[bitter oar]

do you have different plates?

i’d personally put in some foam ‘cause it sounds a bit pingy rn especially that it’s using metal plate

and unsure why the switches feel mushy… maybe over lubed from factory?

[opaque ivy]

it’s on sale rn 64 usd

[bitter oar]

not really a sale
what’s your country?

[dark sail]

I just moved to canada and I brought 2 keyboards on my carry on 😅 was it worth it?

[opaque ivy]

usa

[bitter oar]

the spacebar it’s the wrong way

on the hhkb

[dark sail]

Works fine for me ✌️

[bitter oar]

yeah, you can get it for cheaper than that through aliexpress and much cheaper through taobao, definitely not worth 64 usd today unless you need it to be purchased from amazon or such

[dark sail]

Its abs tho, which isn't the best, but I cant find a PBT one that not warped

[opaque ivy]

i’m not seeing it much cheaper at all on ali

[edgy saffron]

only alum

[bitter oar]

yeah replacements aren’t the cheapet but you can find some on ebay and such

[bitter oar]

if you want 75%, rk r75 is like 45usd rn, apply some coupon along with it or womier sk75 at around 85 with coupons

on taobao you will find aulas for 25 usd

but you need a shipping agent

takes more effort

[bitter oar]

put in some foam if you can, might help

[opaque ivy]

what’s that?

[opaque ivy]

i can’t read anything.

[bitter oar]

taobao is pretty much asia only if you’re making consumer purchases

someone has to ship it to you, you buy the product through the agent and he ships it to you

[dark sail]

Most of the ones my friends brought from kbdfans or ali express were pretty janked

[bitter oar]

rip

[bitter oar]

translate the website

[opaque ivy]

well is there anyway to read it? lol

[opaque ivy]

ohh

ok

[dark sail]

Check out superbuy

[dark sail]

Translation is not the best, especially for keyboard parts. You may wanna talk to an agent from superbuy to figure out which option to choose coz images dont normally match the translated option.

[boreal rivet]

Take a screenshot and use apple translate

[opaque ivy]

that takes toooo long bro

[boreal rivet]

It’s 5 seconds

[opaque ivy]

honestly i think ima just either go with the ali express or amazon(if still on sale) because it’s only like 10$ usd less and i personally don’t trust it thaaaat much

[opaque ivy]

then i gotta go read it and take like 10 ss to find which one it is, then i gotta delete allat, the site worked just fine

[boreal rivet]

Up to you lol

Or just use a web translate extension

[edgy saffron]

thought foam was bad

[cunning anvil]

does brass patina

hmm

[dark sail]

Yes

They turn greenish too if you are into that

[worldly garden]

???

[spiral mica]

depends what you are trying to achieve

cheap board sucks without foam tho

more foam=deeper sound basically

[misty crypt]

keychron cameo in the mac mini product page

it's totally because they're one of the few mechanical keyboard makers to ship with mac compatibility built in

they also have this corsair 75%

[ionic briar]

just about to say

[boreal rivet]

they should've shown a realforce

[bitter oar]

That depends

turns out the shop I ordered my M1W v3 HE from, doesnt have the HE in stock anymore

can anyone suggerent an aluminium kb build with hall effect if possible

for $110 USD (14k bdt)

[spiral mica]

bridge75 he

[opaque ivy]

dawg why would i do that when the site translated it perfectly fine lol

[spiral mica]

taobao is way cheaper than aliexpress for most of the time and has way more selection

[lost lodge]

no knob

does the m1w v3 support magnetic switches?

[spiral mica]

no

also do you really need a knob

[lost lodge]

yes

i cannot live without the volume control's dedicated keys

which is why a knob would make my life much easier

[spiral mica]

drunkdeer a75

[lost lodge]

does the standard one have rgb?

[spiral mica]

yesa

[lost lodge]

ainnoway its not available here either

[lost lodge]

hows the leobog hi8 barebone?

[spiral mica]

hi75 sounds better

I like the infi75 better than both tho

[charred plank]

ordered the neo 75

[charred plank]

arent they roughly the same but hi8 cost like 2x more just for a better knob?

either way though, hi75 is the better option

[lost lodge]

only dealbreaker about the hi75 for me is the

no wireless

[charred plank]

wireless is pretty useless for a keyboard imo

you dont really need to move them too often for a desktop

and just plugging one in with a laptop is easier than connecting and charging them

[spiral mica]

a lot of chinese media reported that hi8 sounds worse

[charred plank]

either way hi75 is the better option imo

its actually good value

while hi8 is coming into the price of actually great boards

[spiral mica]

hi75 looks ass imo

[charred plank]

i like the look but doesnt compete with say neo65 or even lucky 65 for look

or really any keyboard with a visible weight

although tbf, on a desk you wont see the weight

unless youre an epic enough gamer to buy 2 boards so 1 can be upside down

[lost lodge]

how much should I pay for the Hi75 barebone?

[spiral mica]

depends on region

[charred plank]
