Wkl is that but with the 1s replaced with blockers

#

Shrug, it’s more comfortable than a normal mouse for me

potent void
#

Wdym? Its a perfectly normal mousepad

urban glade

potent void
#

They’re pretty nice, used it for a few years now

potent void
urban glade
#

1995 iirc

#

I forget date code

#

It gives me ps/2 hotswap

#

Without use of an adapter

#

You reprogram the numpad using the keyboard plugged into the passthrough port

potent void
#

Wow thats neat

urban glade
#

That TKL is a kustom board from 2011 which is PS/2 only, so something like that or a converter is needed for it anyway

#

They’re fun

#

I can justify the cost as I’m not that interested in collecting. I have this one and I’m happy

#

Cheaper than having 3 or 4 mid range customs 😄

potent void
#

This is mine at the moment. Its gonna be replaced soon hopefully but i like it. Its a Cooler Master CK-530

urban glade
#

Shrug

#

It depends on your preference

#

A kustom is not automatically “better”

#

The history is a cool part for me (and the hype for lots of people)

#

This board is pretty much perfectly designed for my preferences so, for me, it is worth it. But I don’t think it makes sense for most

boreal rivet
#

kustoms are cool but only when its an actual (korean)ustom

urban glade
#

Yeah this one actually Korean

#

Otd 356n mk2 if u were curious

boreal rivet
#

nice

urban glade
#

Was designed for mx tactiles - I have poly half plate and vintage browns, very flexy and sounds great

boreal rivet
#

yea I know what it is

urban glade
#

Moreso for the benefit of @hasty saffron who’s asking about this stuff

boreal rivet
#

still waiting for the day the kingsaver is rerun

urban glade
#

I don’t follow that close anymore but afaik geon’s frog is amazing for the price

boreal rivet
#

you shouldn't

urban glade
#

What do u have then ..?

boreal rivet
#

the frog looks nice yes

boreal rivet
urban glade
#

#

Topre endgame tbh

boreal rivet
#

waiting for dean from deskeys to finish his stabilizer sliders

urban glade
#

I’ve been satisfied enough with stock caps on my hhkb

boreal rivet
#

too bad no cares about topre

#

all they care about is GMK!!!!!

wicked nest
#

@urban glade i have no enginering backround

boreal rivet
#

gasket mount so flexyyy

wicked nest
#

i want to use genuine model F switches

boreal rivet
#

you should've bought into the model f repro then

urban glade
#

I won’t be able to help you there sorry 😢

wicked nest
urban glade
boreal rivet
#

^

#

chasing sound is honestly the dumbest part about the hobby rn

wicked nest
#

eh. if i can customize everything about a model F i like ill do that

#

i like the layout for the most part

boreal rivet
#

literally no one cares if your mx linear no.169 is more thocky than mx linear no.133

urban glade
#

I built a utd for a friend early this year and wasn’t too impressed tbh, quality of the brass was awful, and the grade of aluminium used for the plate resulted in awful sound imo

wicked nest
#

I want a trackpoint. I want that colloums of F keys

#

and bucking springs

boreal rivet
#

if you want thock and great tactility, why don't you buy topre and silence it?

#

oh wait then you won't have clout

urban glade
#

On the desk and under the desk

#

Too lazy to find better pic

boreal rivet
#

is mrpetrov still in the game?

#

i remember when he first started

#

and the day he showed kb kustoms his stupid cabinet

urban glade
boreal rivet
#

same

#

I can't stand the community

urban glade
#

Mostly been in artisans for the last while but even that’s gotten quite boring

#

Hype chasing doesn’t stay fun for long when u get it and realise ur bored by the end of the week

boreal rivet
#

mhmm, this whole hobby started because people wanted a nice feeling keyboard to use

urban glade
#

Yeah I’ve been getting into other stuff, mostly audio

boreal rivet
#

and then the rest is history

urban glade
#

Got a decent enough stax setup so getting some nicer iems next and then shrug

boreal rivet
#

should try some zmf

urban glade
#

It’s 3:30am so I could be wrong but I like much lighter headphones and iirc zmf cans are quite heavy

boreal rivet
#

yea very lol

#

but supposedly super comfy as well

urban glade
#

Even the stax sigmas are very light

potent void
#

keyboards is now audio tech

urban glade
#

For like 3 msgs

#

Lol

potent void
#

but yes i am also in both hobbies

urban glade
#

I’ll always be somewhat attached to keyboards, it was the first hobby I truly immersed myself in the community of and explored many aspects of

#

But the community now makes it difficult for me to stay around and enjoy it

boreal rivet
#

same here

#

you would expect after almost 5 years people would get tired of flipping

#

and chasing after clout

urban glade
#

I’m in a couple smaller servers with the closer friends I actually enjoy being around and I think I’m happy just forgetting the rest of it

urban glade
valid sigil
#

Is there a company that makes low profile keycaps that fit Corsair's non-standard bottom row? The stock key caps are very cheaply made....

boreal rivet
urban glade
#

Kbk, artisan

#

Death lives

boreal rivet
#

oh, never bothered with artisans

urban glade
boreal rivet
#

what with the artificial scarcity and all

urban glade
#

Apparently it’s $2k now

#

Lol

boreal rivet
urban glade
#

Was $10 retail in 2014

#

I wish I had been around back then

boreal rivet
#

oh cant say r word

#

sad

urban glade
#

Lmao

#

I joined start of 2019

#

Wasted time on nothing of any real substance then just rushed each aspect I found interesting till I was bored

boreal rivet
#

I started in 2016, I think?

#

left in 2019

urban glade
#

I have friends who say that was the last good year of the hobby lol

#

2016

boreal rivet
#

yea around 2016-2017

#

everything mostly went downhill

urban glade
#

I just hate modern trends soo much

#

Shoving as much foam as possible inside the board

boreal rivet
#

the idb60 which i got from pngu's private buy is now worth like 300?

#

probably more

#

yea the foam thing is kinda ehh

urban glade
#

300 is about market

#

I got one of them in the public buy

boreal rivet
#

oh he did a r2?

urban glade
#

50units RoW and 50units USA

#

Yea

boreal rivet
#

oh thats cool

#

too flexy isnt it

urban glade
#

He made the pcb thicker for public

#

Standard 1.6mm

boreal rivet
#

i remember being able to push the pcb enough to the point where the pins could touch the case

#

main reason I sold it

urban glade
#

I could do the same if I tried really hard but would never go close to that in use

boreal rivet
#

now its apparently under the friend's bed

urban glade
#

Lol

#

Who’d u sell to

boreal rivet
#

ronny

urban glade
#

Ah I don’t know them

boreal rivet
#

yea hes one of the ogs that kind of just left

urban glade
#

I sold my idb at cost to a friend who was quite new in the hobby

#

Now he’s trading it for a $450 board it seems lol

boreal rivet
#

good for him I guess

urban glade
#

Just means I can sell my g80-5k to somebody else without feeling guilty haha

boreal rivet
#

lol

#

I doubt I'll ever sell my rf

urban glade
#

Same for hhkb

boreal rivet
#

I've asked wayne to commission a custom case for me but he hasn't gotten back to me on whether he and his friend wants to do it

urban glade
#

I don’t personally feel topre needs custom case

#

But my opinion will be different anyway with needing Bluetooth on hhkb lol

boreal rivet
#

I do, the tolerances on the rf case is quite bad

urban glade
#

Ah

boreal rivet
#

I can literally move the top casing around

urban glade
#

Hhkb too small for you?

#

J jeez

boreal rivet
#

I liked the layout alot actually

#

but I needed arrows and fkeys

urban glade
#

Fair

#

Hhkb arrows are the most natural layered arrows I’ve used

#

But I still prefer physical

boreal rivet
#

yea

#

the rf also has a numpad layer

#

which is nice for when i need it every 2 months

urban glade
#

Lol

#

I like having a physical numpad even if it doesn’t get used much

boreal rivet
#

yea same, I've thinking of getting one

#

not sure if I want to go with the topre one or a mx one

urban glade
#

I believe evy is working on a new PCB for the g80-3700 for me

#

With built in usb hub

boreal rivet
#

thats nice, I'll probably just buy the kbdfans one idk

#

can't be bothered to try and find a nice 3700

urban glade
#

And hopefully the ps/2 port will be connected to a soarers or tmk converter, giving you reprogrammable ps/2 ‘passthrough’

#

Fair fair

#

I just wanted to retain full functionality while making it usb, and figured I may as well get a couple more things added at the same time too

#

Would prefer a more modern design tbh but I don’t care enough to spend on an alu numpad

boreal rivet
#

but it won't sound as thocky peepoClown

urban glade
#

Oh no, however will I live with my number pad not being as thocky 😱

#

Anyway it’s been fun talking but it’s 3:45am, I think I’m going to try and sleep

uhh guys?

#

where can I find keycap sets for Keychron K6?

#

with RGB illumaination

#

I can't find em anywhere

#

that goes with Keychron K6

#

or even if I do

#

the right key shift doesn't match

#

where can I find em?

fickle belfry
#

I think most K6 owners use a novelty keycap of the same size for the shift key.

so technically what is it?

kinda new to keyboards so whats opto-mechanical

ionic briar

#

ah ok

#

so what keycaps could fit in these?

#

can outemu keycaps fit

ember roost
#

does anyone have a link to an Australian custom keyboard company where i can design my own mechanical keyboard for ~150 AUD? or is that too low of a price?

ionic briar
# subtle grotto can outemu keycaps fit

It depends on the mount the switch use.
If it uses a cherry MX mount, which is the common keycap mount these days, there will be a lot of options.
Also, I don't think outemu make keycaps.

Never got it to work on the RK84, so I just told my brother to not use it.

Hey guys, I have a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L keyboard and I was wondering if adding some rubber rings to the keys might help make it quieter. This is probably the mod requiring least effort on this keyboard since the keys itself are soldered on. I can get the rings on Amazon for $10 and wondering if it's gonna be worth it

where can i get gat inks

brazen rover

is the steelseries apex pro good for fps games?

raw shale
spiral heron
#

so it actually can be a noticeable improvement if you're playing intense twitchy shooters at a high level, where the difference between 2mm actuation point and setting it all the way up at 0.4mm could actually give you a competitive advantage

spiral heron
#

i haven't used one myself but i have coworkers who've tried them and said if you set the actuation point high enough, breathing on the keyboard will trigger keys - which can be a good thing if you're playing the kind of game where you need super twitchy hair trigger movement

brazen rover
#

Thx for the help i might buy it

yeah its worth a look 👍

I prefer full switches, but low profile is a pretty reasonable compromise for on the go. and the rgb is a hilarious bonus

I'm using it now pushed on on my RK87 daily driver, and it's very nice. I may need to buy a stand or 3D print something

#

ordered some rubber feet.

Same thing with my K87, I made a wooden base for it. It was sitting to flat for me.

near prawn
#

are red switches quiet

#

any recommendations on quiet switches

loud nova
near prawn
#

ok

#

i just need quiet switches my parents complain about my keyboard being too loud

steady hatch
#

browns are pretty quiet too

near prawn
#

aight

#

ty

steady hatch
#

if you want to make them nicer i jut lubed gateron blacks and they feel amazing

unkempt dome
#

Those are not quiet switches at all

#

They are less loud than blue

#

But not quiet

#

If you want real quiet switches then get silent version

#

Cherry mx silent red, aliaz silent, kailh silent box pink or brown, gareon silent line

#

Etc. Cause there's a lot of other silent switches around

#

@near prawn

near prawn
#

ah ok

wind oyster
#

any1 know of a good bluetooth keyboard for mac with rgb backlight thats for gaming and work? im at college rn so thats why im kinda asking

young spoke
#

anyone know the best white tkl with gat yellows/silent reds or cherry mx inks? (rgb and hotswap are optional but preferably i would like it)

wind oyster
#

Can I find that on Amazon too?

young spoke
#

get what

wind oyster
#

I mean ya I’ve seen it b4 and I like it, just idk a bit too much for my budget

young spoke
#

what’s you budget

wind oyster
#

Ok I’m looking through rn. I’m also trying to determine if they have volume controls keys

#

Otherwise I would have to use like fn and another key for it

#

What’s the difference between k series K6, k3, or k2?

sacred socket
#

think6.5 le on the way

wind oyster
#

Which one is that?

raw pecan
#

how to know if my mechanical keyboard's switches are replaceable?

dry parcel
#

Depends if they are hotswap or not

wind oyster
#

whats the difference between blue switches, red switches, brown switches, and like cherry red mx switches? i dont get it

chrome raft
#

just wanna ask rq if theres a mouse for the cherry G80 3000

unkempt dome
#

Blue are clicky ... they have mechanism to make noise in them and also have tactile bump

#

Brown don't click but still have the tactile bump

#

Red don't click and don't have tactile bump

#

That's about the basic of it

#

Even tho they don't click it doesn't mean they are completely silent tho

#

Mx cherry is the brand ... there's a lot of brand that makes switches and most of them makes subjectively better switches than mx cherry base line of switches

#

But then it's a matter of preference

#

@wind oyster

#

Is there Bluetooth 5.0ghz yet or is it only still at 2.4ghz? I’m asking for keyboards obvs

pallid trout
#

The materials are alright. My brother has one and, while not the sturdiest, doesn't feel like a toy.

#

You mean Bluetooth 5.0? Not really needed for keyboards, I don't think.

wind oyster
#

Oh. Ok. What devices use higher versions of Bluetooth then? Like I have a (sorry im going off topic to mice a bit)Logitech g604 and that has Bluetooth, so ya.

#

The white theme(yes white I’m not racist lol don’t make fun of me lol) im not a big fan of but I’ll prob look into the black one. That’s just how I roll with things like that

#

U know what I mean

pallid trout
wind oyster
#

Gotcha.

#

Okay so from my understanding so far, if I don’t want one that’s clicky/makes a lot of noise than I should go with either red switch or@brown switch

#

Like I get the point of a mechanical keyboard, but they’re not all clicky and noisy right?

pallid trout
#

They still make quite a bit of noise, but not as much as a blue.

wind oyster
#

U think me watchin a video on the noises of@each switch and listening to it side by side will help me

#

Sorry for the at symbols. I’m currently typing this on my mobile@phone lol

#

Also I kinda asking for future reference for a keyboard cuz I already ordered one but haven’t got it yet. It’s from this brand on Amazon called seenda.

#

It looked more like a traditional Mac keyboard space grey but with the rgb lighting backlit

#

Here’s a link for anyone whose interested. seenda Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Compatible Mac - Bluetooth Keyboard with 7 Color Backlit Rechargeable Computer Keyboards Compatible with Apple Mac, iMac, MacBook Pro/Air, Mac Mini - Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085TC7LQ7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C5BBDHRE60VQVCD6DGGY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

#

Never heard of it.

wind oyster
#

Ya I found it I guess. What’s the worse that can happen?

#

Worse case scenario I don’t like it and try to send it back..?

#

Idk

#

We’ll see I guess

steady hatch
#

you should get a keychron heard its nice for mac

wind oyster
#

Maybe I’ll like it maybe I won’t

#

Is there a keychron that’s like close or around $50 or $60

steady hatch
#

nope

wind oyster
#

So it’s only like $70 to like $100

#

Sheesh

steady hatch
#

thats a membrane keyboard wont be as nice as a mechanical

wind oyster
#

Look I want a GOOD product but i don’t want the quality of it to be bad

#

U know

#

On Amazon nowadays aren’t their products like that

steady hatch
#

yeah everyone wants that

wind oyster
#

They’re cheap but good material?

steady hatch
#

do you need a mac compatible keyboard ?

wind oyster
#

Also I don’t want something that’s like so clicky and loud

#

Yes

steady hatch
#

dont go for blue switches

#

got for blacks, red, brown or even silver

#

i just modded my ducky one 2 mini with gateron blacks and lubed them and it feels super nice

#

its like typing on butter

potent void
#

Keychron has Mac compatible boards. In fact they’re like the only company that does it

wind oyster
#

Ok

#

Nice

steady hatch
#

honestly if your buying a keyboard just don't overthink and you should be fine

wind oyster
#

I’ll give it a whirl.

#

Thanks

#

And ya I kinda am an over thinker at times

#

Still workin in that part of me

potent void
#

If you want quiet switches reds and browns dont make too much noise. But you can also get silent switches later

wind oyster
#

Interesting

potent void
#

In that case id suggest a hotswap keychron

#

But thats up to you

wind oyster
#

Hm. Maybe ill@check those out sometime

#

Thanks

steady hatch
#

unless you are ready for a challenge and you want to learn a new skill

wind oyster
#

Wdym?

steady hatch
#

and desolder all the keys like i did

wind oyster
#

Bruh im in college. Don’t know i lf I said that or not and if I did I kinda regret saying it

#

Idk why

#

Whatever. It is what it is

#

Don’t ask

#

Keep calm carry on

steady hatch
#

nice

#

its not a must you dont really need it but it will make if more enjoyable to type on

potent void
#

Last time i desoldered a keyboard I destroyed both. So

steady hatch
#

i didnt and its my second time soldering in my life

wind oyster
#

I also see on Amazon Theres a version 2 of keychron

potent void
#

Yeah there is

#

They made a K4 V2

wind oyster
#

Cool

steady hatch
#

the v2 is a lot better than the v1

potent void
#

Do you like that layout btw? They sell a full sized and TKL as well

wind oyster
#

This the one?

And yeah thats the K2

wind oyster
#

Thanks

steady hatch
#

amazon has 2 links it either 2 lines or 20

potent void
#

Yup

wind oyster
#

Lol. Also there’s a way I can enable media keys right

#

Like without doing fn and f11 all the time

potent void
#

Yeah there’s a key combo you enter

steady hatch
#

only on the keychron

wind oyster
#

Cool cool

potent void
#

Media keys as default is better

#

Imo

wind oyster
#

The only “budget” version I found imo is one for $70 rather than $80. Not@including tax and all@that stuff

#

Gateron makes the switches

wind oyster
#

Oh

#

Nice

potent void
#

Yup

#

They’re very nice

steady hatch
#

gateron is a nice brand

wind oyster
#

Keychron has backlit right? So I can see the keys at night?

steady hatch
#

i was expecting them to be bad but they are just as good as cherry id say

potent void
wind oyster
#

Nice

potent void
#

The one you sent has the white lights

potent void
wind oyster
#

They all look the same ngl

#

Just from the pictures

#

Lmao

potent void
#

Yeah all switches do

steady hatch
#

by the looks of it cherry switches have more meat on them

potent void
#

Well most switches

wind oyster
#

K2 or k3?

#

Or k6?

potent void
#

Which layout do you like better?

wind oyster
#

Mac

#

Mac layout

potent void
#

No not that layout

wind oyster
#

Oh

steady hatch
#

layout is how many keys there are

wind oyster
#

Ooos

#

Oops

steady hatch
#

and how they are setup

potent void
#

Like how many keys do you want and what kind of switches you want. The k3 is slim and a 65% board

wind oyster
#

Sorry I don’t know what u mean 😦

#

I do now

#

I guess I just don’t think or take these technical things into account

potent void
#

Oh actually the k3 is also 75 its just slim

#

Okay lemme send you an image

wind oyster
#

Bruh amazon auto corrects keychron to keychain. LMAO

potent void
#

Theres more than these but this is an idea if layouts

#

Or sizes

wind oyster
#

Ohhhh

#

That helps

#

Thanks

potent void
#

75% would be what the K3 and K2 are

wind oyster
#

Definitely helps

#

100% that helps

potent void
#

Here this is a bit better

wind oyster
#

Plz tell@me they have full size

potent void
#

Keychron sells 100%-60%

wind oyster
#

Cool

potent void
#

The K4 is a compact full sized

wind oyster
#

Wireless?

#

Like Bluetooth wireless

potent void
#

Yea

wind oyster
#

Let’s gooo!!!

potent void
#

They have a normal sized one but its not wireless

#

Oh wait the K10 is full sized wireless

#

Do you want that?

wind oyster
#

Im thinking

#

Give me some time@to think

potent void
#

Well its a slim one though but it exists

wind oyster
#

Then I’ll prob get back to ya

potent void
#

Alright

wind oyster
#

The normal@built in Mac keyboard, that layout, that’s like 50% or 60% right?

#

I could do that kind of layout to make it easy for myself

potent void
#

For a MacBook that’s probably closer to a 65%

wind oyster
#

Ok ok

#

Hold

#

Wait wait

#

I like, but so much to pay

#

A small price to pay for salvation

potent void
#

Indeed

#

New information: the K4 is a 96%. If you dont mind the keys squished together like that it’s something to consider

#

Also i was mistaken, the k10 is not a slim keyboard

steady hatch
#

just get one

#

your overthinking now

wind oyster
#

Ok

buoyant scaffold
#

they ncie switchs

wind oyster
#

steady hatch
wind oyster
#

k

#

can i like manually search it

#

on their website?

steady hatch
#

yea

#

just go on it and you will see

#

if you dont plan to change switches often dont look at the hotswap feature

wind oyster
#

kk. thanks. how do i find the verison without numpad and arrow keys. i used the search option and nothing came up. i did "without arrow keys" and "no arrow keys"

loud nova

i want to say the aluminum frame is worth it but do i need it

#

talk all u want that im over thinking but im doing research

#

also does rly anyone use arrow keys anymore?

loud nova
#

I do. Not constantly but often enough

wind oyster
#

hmm

#

for what though?

misty mason
#

I know it's a controversial keyboard but I kinda likey

potent void
loud nova
wind oyster
wind oyster
#

ok so, yes arrowkeys but no to prob numpad

#

is the aluminum frame worth it

ionic island
#

Are everglides worth it

#

for a keychron q1

#

in the sound tests theres some rattle

#

but yeah the stock ones are decent

#

im more concerend about ping

#

like lube?

#

oh i see

#

also how can I reduce the ping on the board

#

since it has a lot

#

without adding lots of foam and destroying the gasket mount

#

like polyfill?

#

You ABSOLUTELY need to do one of these mods if you get the Keychron Q1

I don’t want to spend a fortune but I also don’t want to spend like something that’s cheap plastic

That will break easy

I know I’m gunna have to go over $100 at some point

So its perfect for a Mac

I hate that 60% has function keys on the same as regular numbers

wind oyster

However 70-75% also has function keys. Like on its own

this counts as a keyboard right? It's my first ever - and self made - macropad. I already ordered all of the parts to assemble it, but china shipping takes a while.
So I made this render to get a rough idea on how it could look like. Any opinions? :D

#

Really cool

#

with keycaps ^^

#

I'm wondering how I should assign all of the buttons, I don't a use case for the macropad tbh 😂

loud nova
#

The problem is that it's really really hard to get that final 30% or so slickness of a finished product

#

but it is awesome that there's so many wants to make cool stuff like that these days

#

Which is why I went for a MIDI controller with custom software and a stream deck

small granite
#

Can anyone reccomend a keyboard & all the mods required like lubing materials, keycap ring etc under 50 dollars?

autumn raft

100USD is the absolute minimum whatsoever - 130USD are the actual minimum that can be achieved for sure.

what is the difference between Box - 120x Kailh Brown and 120x Gateron Brown

wheat island
dull ore
#

Box has a box slider and is produced by Kailh
Gateron Brown is a normal MX switch produced by Gateron

#

Gateron Browns are less tactile than box Browns

wheat island
#

which one is better for gaming?

open spindle
#

I dislike brown switches.

wheat island
#

or should I Get blue

#

I want something I can hear but not too loud and feel

dull ore
#

don't get blues

#

If you want clickies go Box White

wheat island
#

it can't be loud I share a room with my brother

#

and I want to feel it

open spindle
#

Best for gaming would prob be something like; Kailh Speed Copper?

wheat island
dull ore
#

They make a sound, but there is no element that creates it

#

the sound is generated by the switch hitting to housing

open spindle
wheat island

I don't want like a too clicky

its hard to explain I am probably confusing

open spindle

they are not

They are tactile

If you had fat stacks of cash, you can get holy pandas? 😏

Literally linear clicky

open spindle

I built a split for a friend with Box Royals

those are amazing

open spindle

@wheat island Get Box Jades

dull ore

That's super loud ;D

open spindle
#

oh! I want to try the Box Royals aswell :3

#

Also the Box Navys

wheat island
#

I want like an office keyboard maybe?

open spindle
#

Dubbed the 'Thick Clicks' switches, the Novelkeys Box Jades are, as the name would suggest, clicky switches that set a precedent in mx style switch tactility. Still... too much of something is not necessary good.

If you think Blues are loud xD

so what does tactile feel like?

dull ore

So imagine a light switch, there's a noticable force event that you need to over come before it goes light

open spindle

so imagine linears, but with a bump that says that now have you pressed the key without beeing very loud...
