I've heard box whites are barely tactile at all. Anyway, I'll find out soon enough, got a tester on the way

I went to a keyboard meet and they had all the new kailh switches on display. Box whites are much more tactile then blues and that's good enough for me
even basic membrane keyboards are mechanical you scrub that's why the term is stupid

Does anybody have or know where I could buy replacement default keycaps for the 2016 model of the Ducky Shine 6? Pic related are what mine look like, but a couple are scratched up pretty badly and I'd like to get a clean set somewhere. Here's an example of a model from this year i.imgur.com/UUPoUDi.jpg. I'm pretty sure they've changed the font on the keys. If you look at pic my pic you can clearly see lots of the letters are sort of "split apart", while on the new version they just look like a normal font. Also the Shift and Caps keys have closed bottoms on the arrows for the new version
If you're being pedantic, membrane keyboard presses are triggered by the mechanical motion of the key contact butting against the membrane. It's mechanical in the sense of "not solid state"
Like something that looks like that and isn't 400 dollars
Brayden Clark
most SSKs sell for under 250 tho. bolt modded ones sell for that much. don't look at fleebay prices and ask around on deskthority, geekhack, and reddit
And then solder on the hall effect sensors, the various SMD components, the controller, then program the controller. You might as well just buy the acepad board.
Watch out there, you might give a rebbiter a stroke.

but soldering isn't hard. even cheap cherry PCBs require you to solder everything together and people don't complain
Jeremiah Torres
I wouldn't want an ugly one like that anyway

I didn't say >membrane keyboard presses are triggered by the mechanical motion of the key contact butting against the membrane that was someone else >use your fingers to press on the membrane thanks for understanding exactly what I was implying. glad we're on the same page now
Soldering wouldn't be so much of an issue (you can learn how to do half-decent SMD soldering with an afternoon of practice) as would be designing the whole thing. You'd have to make a design for all the sensors, whatever periphery they might need, your controller and whatever periphery that might need and then set up some accompanying firmware since this is an analog and not a digital signal that you want to effectively treat as a digital signal (unless you want to do the cool thing and set it up so you can use the amplitude of the signal for whatever fun stuff). Or you just get some hall effect sensors that trigger at a certain level and send a digital signal, though that'd be rather boring. Point being, sure it'd be possible, but given the time, effort and especially the cost of a PCB even just the size of a 60% (in small quantities, the price per PCB will go down the more you order, but that's not a good option either unless you want to recoup that money with a GB, which adds to the time and effort thing), along with all the components, will certainly cost you more than a keyboard which has already been designed and produced by the chinks, at far larger quantities than you are probably interested in, hence at a lower price per keyboard than what you could achieve unless you too hire a chink factory to do the manufacturing for you. Don't let that stop you though, an /mkg/-made hall effect keyboard that makes use of the fact that shit actually uses an analog signal instead of just butchering it into digital would be pretty damn cool.
This is a one-off prototype instead of the intended final design right? Because they would really need to make the design more drop-in if they want to compete with cherry style. That will require advanced autism to manually do without special equipment.

Help I can't decide between 67g or 78g zealios. For some reason, I can't feel much difference between the two but I like them both.
Do zilents feel as mushy as mx silent reds? I'm thinking of getting those rather than regular zeals for a quieter switch
William Rodriguez
From what I've read they're good. Matias quiet click is another option, but I've seen so many bad reports that I wouldn't be game to try
Colton Taylor
cherry keyboards lag 30ms razer keyboards lag 15ms most of these niche keyboards you get probably lag 50ms
my keyboard lags 0.2ms Bloody B700 (got q700 model for 30$ from china)

is this a real post ?
Carson Richardson
taihao isnt shitty. they have some pretty cool designs
Justin Evans
I already have 7 keyboards but alright you sold me I'll get one of those for vidya.
Chase Butler
>Have Rosewill RGB80 >Tempted to buy another because this one 10keyless and can disable Windows key Anyone else have a good similar to this? Blues or similar preferred. A Model M SSK is more than I want to pay, and the Windows key is nice but I don't always want it on.

You know every design Tai-Hao sells is copied from existing keysets, right?
Landon Martinez
Why can't they just make rubber dome with the dome design from topre? What would be lost?

alternatives?
Jaxson Martin
I mean it meets all your requirements, but if you don’t like the look you could get a kBD75
Christian Lee
i did not know. what do they copy?
Jayden Fisher
nothing he just misunderstood the concept of copy
Kayden Thomas
why do you hate dsa keycaps?
Hunter Cooper
he's just a redditor that thinks people own colors combinations
Nolan Walker
what did he mean by this?
Cameron Torres
corporations will sue you for using the same color as them and if its a nobody with no money for burger suitman he will lose
Kayden Cook
most of them lose tho. cadbury tried to sue nestle for using the color purple to wrap their chocolate bars and lost
Samuel King
they just do that to enforce their copyright. if they could get away with that then all these messaging apps cant use skype blue
Jackson Lewis
What keycaps are an uprade from blank PBT DSA? Are there any other cheap PBT blanks that are thick?
Ryder Lee
What are BOX browns like?
John Wright
their tactility is in between mod m switches and gateron brown switches. I didn't find them tactile enough, but maybe you don't want something ultra tactile
Jordan Gomez
Can I report this shit as spam. This emoji is starting to piss me off.
