peripherals

[boreal rivet]

Stick with one you prefer

[knotty moon]

fair enough

your first comment just made it seem like you meant none are good or worth watching. I agree that there isn't a "best". That's going to be subjective

[boreal rivet]

None are worth watching in my case, not for others

[chrome raft]

Any recommendations for a decent mechanical keyboard with chiclet style keycaps? I bought an SK650 from Coolermaster a few months ago, but it immediately broke and they refused my RMA request, so ideally I’d like to steer clear of getting another of those

[drifting quarry]

probably a keychron k7

[lethal sigil]

a brown switches any good?

[wise kraken]

oh hey i didn’t know there was this channel lol

if anyone has keyboard questions feel free to ping me or dm me. i’ve been in the hobby for 2 years and i have a channel on keyboards

imo glarses is the most experienced and makes the most entertaining videos

hipyo has done some questionable things

squashy is cool too

hamaji is ok

[stable lake]

Should i buy the qck edge or heavy?

[main coyote]

whats a good keyboard that feels like a laptop?

[chrome raft]

membrane keyboards?

[main coyote]

Is that what laptops use?

[chrome raft]

Let me send you 2 pics

[main coyote]

okay!

[chrome raft]

This is membrane

This is Mechanical

Big Difference.

[main coyote]

okay thanks for the help, Much appreciated

[chrome raft]

Just type this in amazon and you'll get a bunch of results for membrane keyboards

You can have them with Tall Keycaps or Short laptop keycaps

Either way both will feel like laptop keyboard

[main coyote]

I always hear about mechanical keyboards but rarely anything about membrain

[chrome raft]

It's not actually easy to find good quality membrane keyboards. I mean lenovo do sell a mini Thinkpad kb but I wish they'd also make a full size version.

The "gaming" membrane kbs usually just flashy cheaper alternatives of their mechanical counterpart.

I guess Logitech is the safest bet? Idk

[glass surge]

i never realised how low force lavender purple switches from AKKO were

[chrome raft]

are there any windows 11 styled keycaps w a similar shape/look as these keycaps?

Those will feel like a laptop keyboard ... we actually use the hp at work and I hate that board ... but it's one of the best to resist to dust

[unkempt dome]

And how are they ?

[main coyote]

thats great for me i baiscly live in a dust storm

[unkempt dome]

Well they are not dust proof per say ... but they do better than other rubber dome over membrane keyboard that have longer key travel

The dust gets in the sliding mechanism of the key and make it sticky ... it doesn't happen with those slim keyboard cause they have barely any key travel

[main coyote]

Yeah i like the shorter travel of a membraine kb

[unkempt dome]

And for my part I hate it

[vivid thorn]

Damn 35$ for a pcb in philippines

Thats like 2000php man

[vivid thorn]

How do i fix my keyboard everytime i press W it wont register but if i press it alot it works

[wise kraken]

i doubt it, windows 11 too new

give it 6 months to a year

also those keycaps are a very strange profile so idk if they’ll ever be exactly those as windows 11

[chrome raft]

alr thx

[tough forge]

What are some recommendations for affordable keycaps , preferably thick wall and 60 %

[ionic briar]

Can you define affordable?

[tough forge]

Well go 30 - 60 for now

[urban glade]

just get epbt

blanks

[ionic briar]

akko keycaps?

[boreal rivet]

@urban glade deskeys has stabilizer sliders now

gonna cop next month

[urban glade]

oh cool. lmk how they are

i'm happy with stock topre for now tbh, not like i have spare mx sets

[boreal rivet]

sure

[urban glade]

my das2 is out for delivery today

[boreal rivet]

realforce typing angle is scuffed with stock caps, gonna try mt3 to alleviate it

[urban glade]

i still need to get a realforce at some point

i like the vandal on `~ but i dont use a sleeve so i'm not leaving it on for travel lol

[boreal rivet]

lmao

[urban glade]

i doubt i'd like mt3 but would be cool to be proven wrong, i just much prefer cylindrical to spherical

[boreal rivet]

fair, i'm the opposite, never liked cylindrical over spherical

[violet geyser]

What colors do you want

[lethal sigil]

where can i get a keypad like this

not that many keys though

[urban glade]

the numpad?

[lethal sigil]

yeah

[urban glade]

its called the g80-3700, you cant buy them anymore :((

i got mine from a friend

you can try ebay

[lethal sigil]

unfortunate

yeah

[urban glade]

there are some modern ones available but they arent as good

mine's from 95 iirc

[lethal sigil]

nah just for like media and other stuff

[urban glade]

i've heard they're worth roughly 100$ now

but idk

imo its not worth that much

[lethal sigil]

maybe something like this would suffice

[urban glade]

yeah, if u dont care about the specific features of this one there's not much reason for it

i really wanted it cus it has ps/2 passthrough

but thats not useful to most people

[lethal sigil]

nah its not completely necessary but to annoy people with soundboards it might be worth

[urban glade]

there are lots of cheap macropads available now

[tall crater]

im having real issues with my blackwidow,

im using my cynosa v2 currently, but to whereas my blackwidow worked for 2 months and now its sluggish, and the 7,u,j keys dont work, and whenever i turn on the keyboard, it just spams the 3,6 keys

no clue whats going on but i spent my last paycheck on it

and kinda need to use it

so if anyone does have tips, ping me or send me a message

[tall crater]

Was told it was decent, might try and do some DIY, considering I'm getting an apprenticeship at a pc shop soon :D

Ty for the suggestions though, will definitely try it

[thorn herald]

Quick question: Is this keyboard RGB?

[static roost]

I think so

[thorn herald]

All I see online is it only glows white, and the black one is RGB

ROG Strix Flare

wasn't saying anything about buying or using an ROG Strix Flare

[potent void]

It looks like it might have lights

[tough forge]

Darker theme , something that can go with white light or purple

Like this

[ivory ingot]

sheeesh

god i want to get Topre bad but

[urban glade]

save up for it, topre is endgame fr

[ivory ingot]

maybe after Type-K

[coral gull]

[chrome raft]

gk61?

[ionic briar]

i hate that typeface ngl

[blazing star]

i mostly wanted to show off the theme

koi-pond-themed with artisan wristrest

cause artican keycaps are

[potent void]

i got a Q1 and most of the keys on the side i dont use so id probably swap most of articans and make them macros or something

[ionic briar]

yep, currently using it rn

[spiral heron]

no but i rotate mine 90°

best setup evar!!!!1111

[potent void]

Okay but

[spiral heron]

see? amazing setup

(but to answer the actual question yeah i find flipped spacebar is a nice feel on some keysets but it really just depends)

[keen prairie]

I'd totally send a laptop keyboard in this channel because of how much I love my HP Spectre X360 13 lmao. Not going to do it, but it feels nice. :)

[spiral heron]

lol i have the hp elitebook x360 and i agree, they really make startlingly good laptop keyboards

Not foam lol thats the plate

Currently not feeling the way mine sounds so I'm wondering what I can do to make it sound tighter and close to the rest of my keeb

Oh that's not foam?

Nah

It's metal?

Yah

Bare metal

What other mods did you do to it?

[hard sonnet]

hi I got a Keychron K8F3 recently, set up to charge from a 5V - 2A adapter, connected to my Windows 10 pc via bluetooth. it was fully charged last night. I was just playing rocket league and suddenly I start spinning in circleds and basically the input is stuck on whatever I had last input, the bluetooth LED also starts flashing as if pairing. this didn't stop until I turned my keyboard off and enabled bluetooth again with the switch on the side. Can someone explain how this happened or how I can avoid this problem in the future?

what do i do

[rustic plover]

im looking to buy a 60% or a tkl but i’m not sure where to start looking. i currently have a gk61, but its real warn down and tbh i want to start off with something new, i looked into the ducky one 3, but its not in stock till 2022 and my only other idea is to buy an anne pro 2. any suggestions?

[glossy sandal]

where did you get those keycaps and how much

im looking for new keycaps for my keychron k2

i want it to thock

Desolder the switches

i got busted multiple times because of the keyboard being too loud

[quasi wasp]

I mean isn’t that a big part of the community?

[strong anvil]

i got a great deal on a corsair starfe rgb it has been great but one of the rgbs in the keyboard have broke so when i have my keyboard blue it is green but i have tryed to take the keyboard but I can not actually find the rgb connections so what do i do to fix it? (i did get it for £60 and it isnt in stock anywhere) if you have the answer @ me

[potent void]

Your F1 is special now

[strong anvil]

ikr it is annoying af

[limber dove]

Amazon there a clone for $50 want the link?

[boreal rivet]

The worst part of it, behind artisans and flipping

[unkempt dome]

I don't really care about the sound unless it's spring ping or rattle ...

[boreal rivet]

Same here

These sound chasers spend so much money and effort to get ThoCks but never consider topre because it doesn't have clout

[urban glade]

Flipping is worst

Artisan community is ass but I enjoy the artisans themselves

[boreal rivet]

Artisan community is just the regular community but worse lmao

[quasi wasp]

Flipping?

[unkempt dome]

Another more polite word for scalping

[urban glade]

⬛🍒

[ivory ingot]

damn

[crystal galleon]

They look freaking clean

[uneven barn]

that would look clean in a tkl or 60% layout 😋

[urban glade]

Ty

I use the caps on a tkl

[ivory ingot]

wait what boards are those?

back one is Topre right?

or am I stupid lol

[ivory ingot]

gotchu

[urban glade]

Both mx, both cherry boards with original caps

[ivory ingot]

oh shit TIL Das Keyboard is based on Austin

me hometown

[urban glade]

Nice

[ivory ingot]

but goddahm

those are so clean

you could idk

eat off of them (not like you would)

[glass mason]

i wear closed back headphones, if i hear my keyboard something would be wrong...

[glass mason]

wanted to reply to this

[ivory ingot]

@urban glade wait have you tried Deskey sliders? one of the big things turning me off from Topre is how much I've invested into MX style keycaps

[wispy saffron]

[uneven barn]

is it just me of do lp keycaps feel weird

or*

[boreal rivet]

Gonna get a set next week I'll lyk what I think

[ivory ingot]

tyty

[ivory ingot]

sheeeesh. nice Nixie clock

[wispy saffron]

[undone sedge]

Is the razer huntsman te any good and or worth it

[potent void]

Das a nice keyboard

[potent void]

theres some better alternatives

[chrome raft]

Yo

[ionic briar]

aint bad, nice clean clack

certainly better than what i could muster

[ionic briar]

heres my ||OMG MOM ITS THE GK61|| with shit keycaps

[subtle grotto]

this is my 16 dollar blue switch keyboard

it has low vol for some reaason wait

here is one that as better volume also dont mind the bg sounds lmao

What’s best budget red and black key caps?

I have a 60 %

im still working on it just showing my progress

[fossil tiger]

I would want a black and red theme because my setup is black/white/red

Anyway ima go cya

[quasi wasp]

Oh

[rancid sun]

What's the difference between linear and tactile switches?

[glass mason]

linear -> no clicky (like xbox shoulder trigger)
tactile -> more or less clicky, from almost no clicky to like "mouse"-clicky

[rancid sun]

why is it related to xbox console?

I have never used any xbox consoles before

[boreal rivet]

Linears go straight down

Tactiles have a bump of varying sizes in the way

And clickies are tactiles that make noise

[urban glade]

Nope, I use stock caps on my hhkb

[quasi wasp]

Well others might think differently about that

[quasi wasp]

I don’t see how it is the worst part of it

[unkempt dome]

I'm not talking about others tho

I said I don't care ... not others/people don't care

[quasi wasp]

Yeah

[boreal rivet]

If you can't see the problem then you're part of it

[hallow stag]

my g915 tkl came in the mail 😁

[quasi wasp]

What

A lot of people want their keyboard to sound a specific way, big deal

[quasi wasp]

My GK108 has a very low refresh rate on the RGB animations, is there any way to fix that? I've seen videos of other GK boards with perfectly smooth animations

[inland bear]

guys i made a budget 50$ keyboard

and its almost good

only issue is while doing stuff with the hotswap sockets i ripped one out

but other than that its good

I've been using the System76 Launch for a while and love it.

i dont quite understand

do u only get the keycaps here

or do u get the keyboard

??

Whatchall think of the hyperx alloy origins core

[ivory ingot]

only keycaps

[unkempt dome]

I was really tempted to get the launch ... what do you like on the keyboard that is not easily found on others ? I mean I'll probably get the keychron Q2 when it's released but I still want the know if I'm missing some interesting feature present in the launch

[oak sable]

I'm biased so it's tough to be fair.

I love the split space and the software and that it uses QMK

[unkempt dome]

Split space is intriguing

Are you using the USB passthrough ?

[oak sable]

Yes it's very nice for flash drives, mice, phones and USB Yubikeys

[potent void]

i kind of miss having usb passthrough. was pretty useful when i needed it

[unkempt dome]

Hmm ... maybe I'll get the launch too at some point

[knotty moon]

eww wash your desk mat

[oak sable]

I've had the mat for a while. I can't find the LTT one in stock lol.

[knotty moon]

LTT mat is great. Only problem I have is it's so big cleaning it is actually a hassle. When I had smaller ones I just tossed them in the washing machine. I'm not sure how the big ones will take that

[violet geyser]

how?

[eternal wraith]

give us the parts list

[chrome raft]

Well... I fell for it and bought the Nuphy... from what I can tell its either a scam or a grossely incompetent support.
I didn't get a receipt, tracking number or any response aside from a discord mod asking me to wait for a response. Requested a refund to Paypal.

[ionic briar]

the nuphy air75?

[chrome raft]

Yeah

[inland bear]

yes

[inland bear]

right so

i got a tecware phantom fullsize

that cost me 10$

used

then i went to microcenter feeling inspired and bought some box blacks

and added them on

because it was a hot swap

and uh

did some mods

and now it sounds good

oh and the switches were 40$

[eternal wraith]

box blacks in a microcenter

that is the first time i'm hearing this sentence.

[inland bear]

yeah

they have a ton of glorious switches

which sucks

because ive literally never tried a cherry switch

[eternal wraith]

i mean the glorious pandas and glorious lynxes are decent

[inland bear]

but the blacks sound really good

[eternal wraith]

but overpriced

[inland bear]

yeah i wanna get some for display and maybe to use eventually

i wanna get like mason jars full of switches

[eternal wraith]

better than paying $40 for an artisan that's for sure

(for legal reasons thats a joke)

[ionic briar]

microcenter doesnt showcase peripherals on store?

[inland bear]

they do

i just dont interest myself in them

[ionic briar]

go try em next time around then
you will have a taste of bad cherry
good cherry is fine generally speaking

[inland bear]

fair

i gotta get a new keyboard though

so i might just buy one that already has cherry switches

been looking at an apex 7

because i like my apex pro

but i dont like the switches

and theres no way im going inside there to poke around

[ionic briar]

its too light?

[inland bear]

yeah

[ionic briar]

expected

[inland bear]

i liked them before

then i got blacks

[ionic briar]

i mean, the main advantage of those is that they are contactless and are super smooth

[inland bear]

they are super smooth

[ionic briar]

saying that, wooting hall effect is better imo

and their board is cheaper while having all the switches being hall effect

[inland bear]

oh and also the stabs suck

[ionic briar]

not like the apex pro where only the alphas are contactless

[inland bear]

im gonna swap out the switches anyways

[ionic briar]

fair

[inland bear]

in your opinion what are the coolest looking switches

i wanna get some nice ones for display

[ionic briar]

nk's big switch series

[inland bear]

why does the red one say bump

also what about regular size switches

HMMM

TACTILE REDS?

ah why cherry switches gotta look ugly an cheap

oh wait those are probably orange

[ionic briar]

idk, it depends on the definition of cool to you
currently i like the akko cs switches

[inland bear]

i want these

they come randomly assorted in different colors

[gilded gyro]

I would look at JWK tactiles

There are a million recolors

[inland bear]

interesting

but i like the milkshake switch

its gonna look like a milkshake in my switch jar

[urban vale]

Whats a good budget mechanical keyboard?

[inland bear]

tecware phantom

[urban vale]

Thanks

[gilded gyro]

RK61 Hot Swap @urban vale

[eternal wraith]

man, old Corsair keyboards have such sucky stabs

even with reds it sounds like i'm typing with a worn out blue on my spacebar

[restive oyster]

So,I have started school and have been running low on the money side but sinCe my keyboard got RUST on it I decided to make this comment .I am looking for a preferably wireless(2.4ghz) keyboard of size 60%-TKL(I dont need a numpad though I like the function keys.Nevertheless if there is a better keyboard with a smaller size I am willing to go for it).I LOVE linear switches so if possible with those .It dosent have to be hot swappable since I wont mod-it any time soon though if it has it already thats a great plus. My budget is up to 80$.Please use websites like aliexpress,banggood or really any websites with worldwide shipping that dosent break the bank .All feedback-appreciated!

[restive oyster]

By the looks of it this channel is dead at the momment so ping me if you want to deliver an answer

[pallid trout]

If you don't mind dealing with trash software, you can get an RK84. It's a 75% (which is a 60% with an F-row and some extra buttons) and comes with a surprising number of features at its price. Not sure how much is it in your area though.

It's has per-key RGB lighting that's programmable right on the board, both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity, detachable magnetic feet, a detachable bezel so you can have either a high or low-profile look, among other things I may have missed.

[restive oyster]

alright that looks cool but what about a variant that isnt wireless and is "better"

[chrome raft]

yo guys i need some new keys right and im kind new to the feels and what not but i had optical gateron blacks on my gk before i got my browns in my womier

so what are some keys that feel like the gat blacks but have quicker actuation

[chrome raft]

Reds

Gat reds

[boreal shore]

Anyone know which Akko switch sounds good, is linear but not so smooth that accidental clicks happen and also what’s up with those jelly ones?

[chrome raft]

alrighty thank you, you also know of beast ass stabs? i know durag are good but idk if they are the best

im using the womier k87 if that helsp

[ionic briar]

have you tried tune the stabs?

[chrome raft]

im new to this keyboard stuff so no

[ionic briar]

yea
try do those things first
before thinking of stab replacement

[chrome raft]

is there a youtube tut or is it simple?

[ionic briar]

yea one sec

seems simple enough i will give it a go, thanks for the help

[restive oyster]

https://drop.com/buy/womier-k66-v2-hotswap-acrylic-rgb-mechanical-keyboard is this keeb good?

[restive oyster]

but thats gammakay

[wise kraken]

gamakay and wormier are the same

i have a video on it

[restive oyster]

k

[violet geyser]

It has hotswap??

[violet geyser]

Overpriced
Also I guess original keycaps

[inland bear]

maybe but i like them so it was worth it

and yes it was a hot swap

ive got all the other outemu brown switches sitting in a container

[chrome raft]

i was messing around and i made my brown intoa linear switch lmao

it still actuates and everything

[violet geyser]

Not very difficult, they are already linear

[inland bear]

how ya do that

i made one linear once but i took out parts

[chrome raft]

they are tactile switches

[chrome raft]

basically just lube the tactile copper plate thingy

[inland bear]

wait but is it still tactile

[chrome raft]

no

it completely smooths it out

[inland bear]

hm

i mean i lubed one yesterday and it was still tactile

[violet geyser]

The bump is non existent lol

[chrome raft]

not for gats

[unkempt dome]

Only cherry browns barely have a tactile bump ... other brand browns are more tactile ...

The kailh brown are quite nice to type on

[chrome raft]

are akkos any good?

[violet geyser]

Oh I thought you were talking bout mx browns not gate browns

[violet geyser]

They are good for a budget switch

[chrome raft]

oh, any decent mid range switch preferably linear but if you insist i will try a good tactile

im just trying to finish this keybaord right now

i will be gettting durock stabs cuz i tried to ix my pre built stabs and they still suck

[violet geyser]

Akkos and gaterons are the budget options, I don't know bout midrange cause I'm broke

Check some vids about switches in price ranges

Ktt dose I've heard is a god budget switch

Roae

Rose

Spelling is hard

[chrome raft]

hmm

i mean

might as well try out akkos then

i dont want to spent like 100+ on swicthes

im gonna try out the radient rose reds from akko

im playing safe with the keycaps, i know they aint the best but i had them on my 60$ and they did the job fine

[violet geyser]

I don't like pudding keycaps

But they're fine for the money

[chrome raft]

i just dont want to risk buying caps with shine through

[steady hatch]

is there a better keyboard for 200 usd or 150gbp than the keychron q1 ?

[unkempt dome]

Better than cherry

The akko switches I've tried were quite good ... one in particular being better than the rest of the switches I have here ...

[ivory ingot]

just get PBT caps

[chrome raft]

could you send me some nice ones if you are able to?

any specific brands?

[ivory ingot]

what's your price range?

https://divinikey.com/collections/keycap-sets/products/enjoypbt-9009-keycap-set-dye-sub-pbt

https://divinikey.com/collections/keycap-sets/products/enjoypbt-blank-keycap-set

[chrome raft]

hm well its cad and i want to keep under 80

[ivory ingot]

mmmmmmm

https://cannonkeys.com/collections/cannonkeys-keycaps

NicePBT BoW

NicePBT Greyscale

any of these are good options

https://kineticlabs.store/keycaps

here as well

any of those look good?

[chrome raft]

Yes

[chrome raft]

i would avoid ePBT because they are thin

but they look good i guess

Geekark is thiccer

[coral gull]

best 70 usd keyboard?

[unkempt dome]

there's no best

[coral gull]

what are some good ones????

[regal schooner]

I'm trying to spend less the $150 and want hot swap-able any good recommendations

[pallid trout]

RK84 can also be wired, as it plugs into its USB-C port.
Also, define "better", because keyboards are almost entirely preferential.

[hushed zephyr]

size?

[unkempt dome]

Maybe check keychron offerings ... they might have something you'd like

[surreal sphinx]

ignore the to be picked up desk, but man am I glad they still have ps2 ports on modern Motherboards

[ionic briar]

model m chef kiss

[regal schooner]

Really any but 75 would be best

[potent void]

65?

[hushed zephyr]

Q1 fully built is $170 it’s good but kinda hollow

[potent void]

Its not too hollow anymore they fixed it but modding will still help

Also they dont want 75 anyways

[regal schooner]

Thanks for the recommendation

[hushed zephyr]

Np

[hushed zephyr]

Oops I thought they said they want 75

[regal schooner]

I did say 75

[hushed zephyr]

Lol

[hushed zephyr]

[potent void]

You said “any but 75” and yo me that means you want anything expect 75

[regal schooner]

I meant to add a comma

[potent void]

Commas are important, friend

[regal schooner]

lol,

[ivory ingot]

someone say 75%?

[potent void]

Nice

[unreal current]

So, how exactly do I go about cleaning a switch on a board that isn't hot swappable and I don't have soldering equipment? I just bought this new board like two months ago and the A key is already sticking. I took off the cap, and it's the switch itself that's sticking, so I have no clue how to like, clean it. All the guides I can find are either for laptop keyboards, or assume I can just remove the switch and disassemble it for cleaning, which I can't

[hushed zephyr]

No

[hushed zephyr]

U need to desolder

[ivory ingot]

rude :(

oh wait lmao

I can't read, sorry

[quartz scarab]

I swapped switches in my drop CTRL from MX blues to kailh silvers. Every key works fin except for "X" where I had to put the blue back in on that one key for it to work. Any ideas?

[ivory ingot]

check to see if you've bent the 2 contact pins on the switch you pulled out. you can straighten them out with tweezers

[quartz scarab]

yeah checked that

I think the socket on x is ever so slightly wonky

I got it work just now by placing the key in top first and clicking it in place to the bottom if that make sense

Not exactly had the most stellar experience with this keyboard to be honest

[ivory ingot]

gotcha makes sense

yeah uhhh Drop's boards are not great

[hushed zephyr]

Same, reading is hard

[quartz scarab]

Yeah I got it for a fair price so I can’t complain too much but yeah I certainly don’t recommend them

[ivory ingot]

love the color scheme

[quartz scarab]

Cheers 😊

[ivory ingot]

had a CTRL of my own

[quartz scarab]

ooo I like the wood finish

[ivory ingot]

ultimately sold it because I wanted more out of my boards

[quartz scarab]

was the rest comforatable?

[ivory ingot]

ye, it's Kono's wrist rest

but you can find them from other places too

[quartz scarab]

I'm using a glorious padded one atm

[ivory ingot]

wood is surprisingly comfy

[quartz scarab]

Tempting!

Was planning on building a second board for work...

Have to add it to my list of things haha

[ivory ingot]

will say tho, an aluminum wrist rest feels so nice

[quartz scarab]

I didn't know they existed!

[ivory ingot]

(this is my buddy's Vega wrist rest that they ran a gb for last month)

[quasi wasp]

Does anyone here know what the scanning rate of the Epomaker Gk108 is? I know that the polling rate is 1000Hz

[chrome raft]

can anyone help me with choosing a keyboard/mouse for my setup

[violet geyser]

Yes, what do you want?

[tall crater]

whats a good mechanical keyboard that would be fully customizable?

[violet geyser]

Wdym by "fully customizable"?

[tall crater]

as in, customizable switches, key caps, ect

[violet geyser]

I guess you mean hotswap, and you can switch the keycaps in every keyboard, there is a lot of stuff, what do you wnat

?

[steady hatch]

keychron q1

[steady hatch]

i can help if you want :)

[unkempt dome]

Gmmk, gmmk pro, gk61, lots of keychron, most if it all royal kludge now

[pallid trout]

Yeah

Not a really good question to ask because there's hundreds of options ranging from like $20 all the way to the thousands.

[thorny hound]

should i get a hyperx keyboard to match my mouse or do i go for a logitech one?

[pallid trout]

Whichever you like, unless there are some benefits of sticking with the ecosystem.

[thorny hound]

i just want it to last long and match each other

[pallid trout]

So HyperX it is.

Because they match, I guess.

[tender coyote]

anyone know how to set up a macro to change screen brightness for anne pro 2?

[rare shard]

hey may i get some sugestions on the logitech g915, i want to buy the tkl version but i cant decide between tactile and linear

[knotty moon]

my K10 is supposed to be delivered any minute now. Cccant wait

[rare bone]

Best linear switch?

also what's a good ISO 60% PCB that will fit in a tofu60

Tofu60 walnut

Dz60 foam in there too

[chrome raft]

friends, I just killed my keyboard with an ESD

I touched it, felt a discharge and the numlock light went out

reconnected it, it's dead

oh, it's working again

[sinful fulcrum]

I need to decide between the razer Huntsman Mini which is disgustingly expensive and like a cooler master sk620, 630 or 650. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the low profile but the price is great.

[steady hatch]

ducky ?

[sinful fulcrum]

Nope unfortunatly not

[steady hatch]

are those all your options ?

also get a form factor that suits you

[sinful fulcrum]

There is also corsair k65 and glorious gmmk

[steady hatch]

keychron q1 ?

they said they will restock this month

probably the best keyboard for the price

[sinful fulcrum]

I'd say the smaller ones are better for me. There is only the keychron k4

[steady hatch]

q2 is coming out

[sinful fulcrum]

I really like the razer Huntsman and people say the build quality is great.

[steady hatch]

gmmk is the best option out of those

as in quality wise

rgb wise razer wins

[sinful fulcrum]

Oh ok. They also is the keychron c2 and I believe the whole k line

Ok I'll definetly check out the gmmk more thanks for the help.

[steady hatch]

np

keychron q1 or q2 and gmmk are great for the price id say

[unkempt dome]

Why don't you use the default way to do it ?

[tender coyote]

Currently using the laptop's keys but I am getting a PC and the Anne Pro 2 will be my main keyboard

[unkempt dome]

Do you already have the anne pro 2 ?

[tender coyote]

yes

[unkempt dome]

Oh ...

[unkempt dome]

I'm getting a Q2 when it comes out

[steady hatch]

good choice

im getting the q1 when it restocks

[tender coyote]

what?

[unkempt dome]

Well there's the fn key with either the arrow key or + and - you can try ... there's probably a manual for it online

[unkempt dome]

If you didn't have it I would have said to get something else ... but since you have it use it until it dies

there's a lot of mods you can do with the anne pro 2

[tender coyote]

wait

do you think i am talking about keyboard light?

I am talking about SCREEN brightness

[unkempt dome]

Oh ... yeah I thought you were talking about keyboard lights

I'm dumb

[tender coyote]

I am not technologically illiterate
I wont ask about something in the manual

[unkempt dome]

That I can't know ... there's a lot of people just asking without even searching if there's a manual

Or a software for the keyboard

[tender coyote]

Someone mentioned using AHK
They gave a screenshot but didn't add much details

Any idea how to make this work?

[unkempt dome]

Never used that

But that seems to be quite interesting

But I don't know how it works ... sorry

I'm pretty sure someone here knows how to tho

[queen field]

If you’re on windows, use Microsoft powertoys to make macros

[tender coyote]

I tested out AHK, but it doesnt seem to recognize the anne pro 2
Only the laptop keyboard

[tender coyote]

will this work with the anne?

[queen field]

Dunno

Maybe, worth a shot

[tender coyote]

well

this is embarassing

The AHK script worked fine

I just mistook ctrl+d for shift+d

lol

ok managed to get brightness adjustment to work
I found a AHK script online which uses f6 for down, f7 for 50%, and f8 for brightness up

now will bind a macro to run that script and it should be done

[sinful fulcrum]

Turns out the gmmk I was talking about doesn't come with keycaps or switches so I'll stick with the razor Huntsman Mini Bc the k65 got bad reviews and is a little more expensive.

The one they offer is sold separately...

[unkempt dome]

Then get the complete version of the gmmk ... or get good switches and some random keycaps

[ionic island]

im using a keychron q1 with a razer wrist rest right now and it sounds super clean when the wrist rest isnt in contact with the keyboard

however when the wrist rest does come in contact it no longer sounds clean

is there a way i can isolate it from the keyboard

moving it a few milimeters away doesnt work because it just shifts back after some time

[chrome raft]

just don't use a wristrest

it's bad for your hands anyways

[hushed zephyr]

yes, use columar ortho

[chrome raft]

[hushed zephyr]

[ionic island]

cant i use it for gaming and i need it

[limber dove]

I just got my custom mech and already want to build another one

[chrome raft]

you dont need it actually

Most people who don't know proper technique rest their wrist on the desk and type upwards at an angle. That's bad and causes pain. Thus was invented the wrist rest, to alleviate such pain. However, the wrist rest is still lower compared to proper typing technique. If you do it right, your forearm and wrist should be straight and form a single line. Anything that raises or lowers your wrist is generally bad. So while it's better then not using one, you're better off just learning proper technique. In general, this means not bending your wrist and hovering over the keyboard without touching your wrist on anything.

[hushed zephyr]

ok, merpt

[sinful fulcrum]

It's not worth it price wise here. i's like a third of the price more just for the key caps. Also they don't sell the complete version.

[hollow juniper]

dont mind the mess

[unkempt dome]

Go to customize and you can get a complete version

[unkempt dome]

Or get a keychron

[rapid minnow]

Hello, I dropped some water in my keyboard a week ago, and my A,S,W,D is sticky and delayed my D shifts Left when pressing slightly and take 2-3 presses to active D.

[sinful fulcrum]

Dude I meant it when I said that I'm from South Africa.

[unkempt dome]

must have missed that part then

[sinful fulcrum]

I mean to put a comma after 'that'. 🤣 I meant it when I said there are no other peoper keyboards available for the price. And the gmmk isn't available currently.

[tawdry tusk]

Hey guys, what's a good budget keyboard that has rgb and is below $40

[bleak siren]

do you REALLY need RGB?

[tawdry tusk]

I prefer rgb, but moreso, I want a backlit keyboard

[unkempt dome]

define good ... cause for that price there's not much ...

[bleak siren]

yea

[unkempt dome]

probably a redragon k552 or k551

maybe keychron if you want to put more money into it

[viral mesa]

Hey guys I want a keyboard that has very low latency and not be 60%

and im very lost

[tawdry tusk]

good as in, it's made of decent quality and isn't exactly a piece of crap

[bleak siren]

a lot of keyboards should have low latency

[unkempt dome]

you'll have to put more money than 40$

[viral mesa]

idk what to choose

Ive never had a mechanical keyboard before

[bleak siren]

look into getting something hotswappable

so you can try different switches without paying for a new keyboard or soldering

[viral mesa]

ATM I like hyperx elite alloy 2

[unkempt dome]

well maybe redragon k552 ... be sure to get the rgb version and not the rainbow version ... should be about that price ... @tawdry tusk

[bleak siren]

keychron has pretty good keyboards

only problem is if you buy from their website you pay for a shipping fee which is like $20

amazon has keychron boards tho

[tawdry tusk]

what's the difference?

[bleak siren]

one has rgb led's and the other just has a bunch of differently colored leds im assuming

[unkempt dome]

yes

rainbow has fixed different color led for each row

it's quite ugly

[viral mesa]

theyre all out of stock lol

[tawdry tusk]

Ahh, ok, so rgb looks cooler than rainbow

got it

[viral mesa]

and they look boring too

[bleak siren]

Get some nice keycaps to make it yours

[viral mesa]

sounds expensive

[bleak siren]

True

[unkempt dome]

get your keycaps on amazon then

[jaunty arrow]

is it possible to shrink a full size keyboard to 60%?

[unkempt dome]

What do you mean ?

[bleak siren]

Cut the other 40% of the keyboard with a table saw

[potent void]

I guess yeah, but you wouldn’t be able to put it back

[chrome raft]

i mean i bet u can

it would be insanely hard tho

[chrome ocean]

Hey guys, I play FPS and MOBA games and I have no experience with linear switches, been using cherry mx blue for 6 years. I now looking to choose between cherry mx silver and red, can anyone give me any suggestion? Thanks!

[tender coyote]

bty what were you going to recommend. Thinking of buying another m. keyboard as a gift

[chrome raft]

red

actually

go gateron red

or gateron yellow

[chrome ocean]

ok!

[potent void]

im sad its sold out. id use it for macros probably

https://youtu.be/7uNGdMnrhmU

[unkempt dome]

Kemove snowfox/shadow
Gk61
Rk61
Gmmk 60%
Keychron whichever comes in the format you want

[tender coyote]

why each instead of the anne pro 2?

[unkempt dome]

They are all better in built quality and lighting and they are hotswappable

Which make changing the switches really easier either to try some other or repair it

[tender coyote]

note that the person who I am buying this for likes how "pretty" my keyboard looks. So here I am looking for looks over functionality. They wont care about programming or mapping keys. Mostly using it as a good looking regular keyboard.
@unkempt dome

they also wont ever care about changing switches etc
So it doesnt matter if they are hotswappable

[unkempt dome]

Well the keycaps are really not that good on the anne pro 2 and lighting is not even across the board

It will matter when a stabilizer breaks

You have to desolder the switches to fix it ... and it happened to mine and I've read it's not uncommon

[tender coyote]

What do you mean about the light?

[tender coyote]

the light is over the entire board (the rainbow also moves)

[unkempt dome]

Look at all the long key keycaps ... it's not even specially on he enter, tab, caps lock, shift

The shine through is really not that good compared to the snowfox

Well anyway that's my preference tho

You ready have it and should keep using it until it dies

Also I know that back in the days there were a lot of cases available to that keyboard

[tender coyote]

Is the GK61 low in the middle? Looking at amazon photo

[unkempt dome]

Which makes it good for customization of the look and sound

I've never used the gk61 but I wanted to get it to try it ... so i don't know if it's low in the middle

Others that tried it will be able to say for sure

[tender coyote]

Are the snowfox/shadow the same keyboard but different colours? Snowfox being white and shadow being black?

[unkempt dome]

Exactly

[tender coyote]

WHO buys a white KEYBOARD? doesnt it just get dirty looking?

[unkempt dome]

Also now they are 5 pin switches compatible... mine isn't and I'm a bit sad about it

If you wash your hand after eating no they don't get that much dirty

I have a white one

[tender coyote]

whatever, Ill just get the shadow

between that and the GK61, which is better?

[unkempt dome]

I don't know really ... I've never tried the gk61 ... only heard about it

Haven't compared them

[tender coyote]

which one do you think I should go for? You recommended them both

[unkempt dome]

Well I really wanted to get the gk61 in the first place

But then I think the gk 64 is nicer

Cause of dedicated arrow

[tender coyote]

it looks much uglier

[unkempt dome]

And optional split spacebar

Yes it's not as cute indeed

Well personally I'm going for the keychron Q2 when it releases

[tender coyote]

How about the Durgod HK Venus?

[unkempt dome]

it's not bad but I've heard some weird things about it sounding not that great if you care about that ... and some have reported some qc issue on some unit ... but for the most part reviews I've seen are quite good

I have a durgod fusion and it's a solid board

Also the k320 is quite solid

You could check out varmilo offering too

And leopold ...

[tender coyote]

Its light looks great
this compares the anne pro 2 (top) with it

[unkempt dome]

Those are premium

[tender coyote]

not RGB

[unkempt dome]

Yes there's rgb version of it

[unkempt dome]

Yes the shinethrough is really better than the anne pro 2

[unkempt dome]

Well I think

The fusion doesn't have rgb

[tender coyote]

Ill just stick with the AP2 for now. And will get the kemove shadow as a gift.
There is black, brown, blue, yellow, red, and silver switch options
Which are nicer for typing?

[unkempt dome]

it's a matter of preference there

Do you like tactile or linear ?

[tender coyote]

something that is not as sensitive as red

[unkempt dome]

Or do you like clicky ?

[tender coyote]

and it isnt for me

it is a gift

[unkempt dome]

What the person is used to ?

[tender coyote]

laptop keyboard

[unkempt dome]

Oh damn

[tender coyote]

wait, red switches are linear?
you telling me this counts as a QUITE keyboard?
https://switchandclick.com/linear-vs-tactile-vs-clicky-switches-a-helpful-guide-with-an-infographic/

[unkempt dome]

Well silver, red, yellow and black are all linear and are from lighter to heavier
Brown are about tactile (cherry brown have a really low tactility)
Blue are clicky with tactile bump

Quiet as less loud than a clicky ... not quiet as it barely makes sound

[tender coyote]

between yellow and black which is less sensitive?

[unkempt dome]

For really quiet you need to go with silent red or other silent switches that had rubber dampers inside them

[unkempt dome]

Black ... they have a heavier spring

When lubed I've heard they are quite good

[tender coyote]

compared to blue how are they?

[jaunty parrot]

black and blue actuate with the same force but blacks need more force to bottom out

[tender coyote]

"bottom out"?

[jaunty parrot]

bottom out means fully pressed, no more travel

[unkempt dome]

Also black doesn't make a click sound like the blue does

Cause black are not clicky

Which switches you have in the anne pro 2?

[tender coyote]

Gateron red

@unkempt dome

[unkempt dome]

Black will feel about the same but with more force to push them down

[formal juniper]

I have an extremely rattly spacebar on my drop alt, what steps should I take to fix this?

Would it be better to mod the existing ones, or just replace them with nice ones?

[steady hatch]

anyone recommendations for a mouse ?

[formal juniper]

What's your budget looking like?

[steady hatch]

no budget i had the g pro but i want something new

it broke

[formal juniper]

I'd reccomend the Viper Ultimate, or the g pro is also a amazing mouse

[steady hatch]

what about the mx master ?

i dont plan to game

or at least competitive titles

[formal juniper]

My brother and dad each have one of those, I've used it a decent bit

It's a great and comfortable mouse

quite heavy tho, but it's totally capable of gaming

[steady hatch]

yeah i think imma get that looks comfortable

thanks for the help

[formal juniper]

np, I hope you enjoy it!

Whatchall think about red switches hyperx alloy origins core

[obtuse swift]

Best white wireless mouse under £80 not from logitech

[unkempt dome]

Glorious model O maybe ... or razer orochi maybe ...

there's no best mouse anyway

[obtuse swift]

model o is awful not going back to that and orochi has a very awkward shape

[unkempt dome]

Well find one that has a shape you like and call it a day

[obtuse swift]

but what if its awful

[unkempt dome]

The shape is the most important thing in a mouse

Besides that if you buy a mouse that has general good reviews from reputable reviewers it will be good enough for 95% of the people ... the shape just has to be good for you

Also you can just return it ... or buy it used if you don't want to pay too high price and resell it if you don't like it

Check if the viper is available in white ... I'm not sure about it, but there's a wireless version of it

[obtuse swift]

my dad wont let me go used

[obtuse swift]

viper ultimate

im not going wired

[unkempt dome]

I know but I'm not sure if it's available in white

[obtuse swift]

so Mo and RV are non existent

[obtuse swift]

yes

£110

[unkempt dome]

Then get that one maybe ... but be aware that the software is awful

Looking for a good mechanical keyboard with a num pad for <£100. (Don't want to build my own)
Currently have blue switches and like the feel of them but they're too loud at night so want some a bit quieter and I'm unsure which one's to get.

Suggestions appreciated! ❤️
tag me if you have a suggestion/question

https://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/uk-filco-majestouch-2-nkr-silent-soft-linear-action-keyboard.asp

if you can stretch your budget a little bit, i strongly recommend filco boards

i love mine (though mine is the version without a numpad)

you can also look on ebay for them used, should definitely fit in budget then

i got this one for less than £50

[earnest jasper]

I dont necessarily need a number pad tbh, I guess it's just more keys to assign in games. Typing i assume feels a bit different due to the size of a full keyboard

[earnest jasper]

It looks cool

[urban glade]

i have a friend who's used both and he said they're very similar

though both me and him prefer to take the mounting screws out of the baord

and lay down a couple layers of shelf liner

so the assembly bounces a little bit on that while you type

the site i linked is a great uk store anyway to look through various boards

[earnest jasper]

sounds complicated for me

yeah ill have a look

thanks for the suggestion 🙂

[urban glade]

np!

Anyone have experience with the EVGA Z15 mechanical keyboard, I had found a cyber Monday deal and ordered one for only $41

[quasi wasp]

My spacebar ticks weirdly on the upstroke when I press it on the left side (also it has got some give on the left side before the switch is actually actuated), what could be the cause for this?

[quasi wasp]

I already tried another spacebar, same results

(The same spacebar in white)

A third spacebar actually got stuck on the left side

[quasi wasp]

Talking about spacebar keycaps in that case

[chrome raft]

clean

Right, so I got 2 questions.

1 - How much of a mistake would it be to paint my Logitech K120?
1a - If it's not a mistake, what kind of paint should I use?

2 - My keycaps and keyboard frame get very dirty due to all the grease in my hands, I don't know what exactly causes it but how can I fix it? (see attachment for pics)

[formal juniper]

I have it in pink, and I've been really happy with it so far, but something to mention is that the charging dock is kind of mediocre. It doesn't always charge when you put it on, and you may have to nudge it a bit

[formal juniper]

For 2. I think just a diluted alchohol of some sort would do a good job of takin all that grease off, you'd just want to remove them all and let them dry for a bit afterwords

[unkempt dome]

Remove the keycaps and clean them with soft dishwashing soap and let them dry

For the case you can use isopropyl alcohol

But taking apart the whole keyboard would be the best option about cleaning the top

[untold orchid]

I built my friend a budget custom a few days ago and been using it for a few days and now I want to build one for myself too ffs

like this cost like 110€ but is so much nicer than my 190€ varmilo

[coral gull]

Is this worth it? Or is there better keyabords for the price or around it?

[unkempt dome]

it's good ... how much is the Q1 for you ... might want that one instead

[coral gull]

This?

[unkempt dome]

Yes ...

Supposed to be a big step up compared to the other ... well I hope it is for the price tag of it

[coral gull]

It looks kinda ugly though

personally

[coral gull]

Do you know any other keyboard from any brands that are good for around 80 USD?

[clever yoke]

G910 is around that rn

people either love them or hate them tho but i plan on getting another one when this one dies in however long it takes

[unkempt dome]

Gmmk

Check Leopold, durgod and varmilo offering ...

The rest of gaming brand don't even bother with those

[coral gull]

Thanks for the help guys but i would prefer a 60% or 65% keyboard

[unkempt dome]

Gk61, gk64

Check out royal kludge offering too

[coral gull]

i was looking at these

yeah the rk61 is really cheap rn

[unkempt dome]

Software is supposed to be meh for royal kludge

But the keyboard is decent

I don't know mizar

[coral gull]

yeah and the rk61 is wireless

which i would prefer

Do you guys think wireless would have a slight delay?

[unkempt dome]

Bluetooth yes for sure

2.4ghz dongle ... probably but not that much

Check out the durgod fusion too ... and the kemove snowfox

[coral gull]

So a wired would be better you recon?

I'll see rn

[unkempt dome]

Wireless can also be used wired

[coral gull]

the KEMOVE Snowfox looks good

[bleak siren]

what is it

[unkempt dome]

Snowfox is good

[coral gull]

this also looks good https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3545

Sorry could I just ask whats bad about this keyboard? https://www.keychron.com/collections/keyboard/products/keychron-k6-non-backlight-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39431214858329

[unkempt dome]

Leopold is one of the better prebuild brand according to a lot of people

[bleak siren]

i dont think theres anything wrong with it

just no backlight

[coral gull]

ahh

[unkempt dome]

From what I've heard the k6 is a bit lower quality build than let's say the Leopold... but if it doesn't better you the you should go for it

No backlight is not an issue for me ... if it's not for you too then go for it

[coral gull]

I don't think it is personally

I use a non backlit keyboard rn

[bleak siren]

if you have the money get the frame tho

[coral gull]

The frame is the only one in stock

otherwise i would get the other one

Thanks guys

[bleak siren]

[coral gull]

Do you know how much they charge?

Actually i could find out myself

[bleak siren]

the US it's $20

[coral gull]

[bleak siren]

[bleak siren]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/blackpink-3068b-mechanical-keyboard/

[coral gull]

Thanks

Isn't the battery a bit small though?

[bleak siren]

it is yea

[coral gull]

Also are the switches lubed?

[bleak siren]

im not sure

you'd have to see reviews on those switches

[coral gull]

Thanks

just to check is it better then the https://www.keychron.com/collections/keyboard/products/keychron-k6-non-backlight-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

[bleak siren]

have you checked shipping costs for the Akko keyboard?

just comparing the prices

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD5F-VEqLp8&ab_channel=TaeKeyboards

[bleak siren]

K6 has pretty bad stock keycaps

[hallow stag]

Hi this is isn’t a keyboard related thing but I recently got the g915 tkl and I’m looking at new mice, is the Logitech g pro x superlight worth it?

[candid temple]

personally, I don't think it would ever be worth it simply because of the price. Many other mouse's have the same features and weight while being relatively cheaper

[bleak siren]

Finished lubing a bunch of switches just waiting for the keyboard to arrive

[radiant thunder]

I've cleaned it multiple times, it just builds up again over time

[sinful fulcrum]

What do you guys think about the cooler master sk620 or sk622

[restive oyster]

are akko keyboards good for their money?

[unkempt dome]

well yes and it will always unless you were glove while typing

just wash your hands before using the keyboard and it should be better ...

[unkempt dome]

I've heard that they are yes ... I've never tried their keyboad, but I know some of their switches are quite good ...

[restive oyster]

well I guess I will invest in their one piece one

[unkempt dome]

the luffy one ?

there's themed mouse also

[restive oyster]

mouse....I actually dont know if I am gonna get it.Apperantly it isnt hot swap

I am probably not going to upgrade it anyway but idk if the there is stabs foam

[unkempt dome]

no idea about it

[restive oyster]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/acr-87-keyboard-bundle-mechanical-keyboard/ I think this is worth more than the luffy one

[unkempt dome]

looks nice

[radiant thunder]

I wash my hands at least 35 times a day

[violet geyser]

gk61 also

[crimson mulch]

best wireless mouse for fps? viper ultimate, logitech g pro , model d or g502(got the wired version rn). What do i need to look for, i noticed the viper has optical switches not sure if its bad

Hi, I'm in desperate search for a good tkl mechanical keyboard around 50€, I never owned a mechanical keyboard before, I just tried yesterday at an event a good sharkoon(out of budget) one with reds or similar.
Another big need is that it has the big enter key and "<"">" placed in the left side of the keyb

[bleak siren]

Their keycaps are pretty good

[bleak siren]

Not sure if there's a keyboard with <> placed on the left side of the keyboard that costs $50
