First for topre a shit.
you forgot this image
Hey this is the guy with the Kiosk keyboard made of metal,
it has MX blacks in them and i saw a page say it was waterproof, turns out it has a protective plastic layer above the keycaps, and tge keycaps can come off and go on other keyboards if i so chose (i don't) pic related
I'll just leave this here.
>tfw typing on cherry mx switches
don't know if the chinks are retarded or something but every single listing on taobao for switch lube shows them applying it like this, seems to work I guess? It is a pain in the ass to disassemble all the switches and carefully apply it to the bloody things, I don't understand how the rebbitors can bother to do it.
>seems to work I guess?
If by "work" you mean completely drown the switch, ruin the keyfeel, and ensure that it's going to gum up much sooner than it otherwise would, sure.
Would be nice to see how blues or clears work in them

Where is your gun?

Things that should be illegal:
Keyboards smaller than 90%
Why do you feel the need to have a large keyboard full of buttons you never use?
Is it overcompensation?
not him
i like fullsized because i can bind macros to the numpad keys
And you couldn't have macros on a smaller keyboard?
its more convenient on a bigger keyboard
You're not really making a case for why I shouldn't keep using my 65%.

How the fuck do you open a Kailh switch?
because im not trying to convince of anything
im just stating my personal preference retard
from below
The original post was saying anything under a 90% keyboard shouldn't exist, why the fuck did you respond if you didn't want to argue that point?
i responded because someone wanted to know about the appeal of large keyboards
i said "i like fullsized because..." clearly im stating my personal preference
learn to read retard.
Are you braindead
He's answering the question "Why do you feel the need to have a large keyboard full of buttons you never use?", which is separate from the initial assertion that nobody should ever want a small keyboard
Why are you defending someone that is answering a rhetorical question?
Why are you asking questions if you didn't want an answer in the first place?
Are box royals worth it?
I remember seeing them get a lot of hype on here a while ago, but I don't see anyone talking about them on here now.
Yes and no. They're not the end-all be all tactile switch that people wanted them to be, but like any niche there's some that will absolutely love them.
There's also a new meme snowflake switch similar to holy pandas with them and hako clears, so they have that going for them, I suppose.
A standard reaction from typing on a keyboard containing less than 100 keys.
I think you posted someone who doesn't use a split keyboard.
They feel really nice, but if you try them I hope you like bottoming out.
They're divisive. Your only option is really to try them and see if you like them. I personally really like them.
I know this is a meme, but I don't really get it in the first place. The keys are the same size on smaller keyboards.
>op pic
>topres
um, no sweetie look again
Where can I buy a prebuilt with box royals?
on kono.store
>$232.00
Good one.
you asked
no other option
Are hotswap sockets a meme?
>no way I'm gonna pay a lot of money to get a prebuilt board with some extremely niche, obscure aftermarket switch in it!
Learn to solder or pay up, retard.
No.
>Switches made of the same material as any other fucking switch
>Nothing particularly special about them over a normal Kali switch
>Prebuilt with them costs twice as much as board with slightly different switches

I don't think you understand how scale, supply, and demand work.
sup qts
I need a USB (input) to ps/2 converter/translator because I unironically got a unicomp USB instead of a ps/2.
Pls respond
Then get one off Amazon
>How do basic economics work
t. under-aged commie
There are no active USB-ps2 on amazon.
because you don't need one
Splash proof but definitely not water proof
I needs it bruh
for ps2 to usb it does, but for usb to ps2 it doesn't
and I need USB to PS2 active
There's 0 demand for obscure switches like royals, most people want things like blues, reds, browns, etc. Why mark up something that isn't going to sell much in the first place?
you cant have it
no you don't this simple adapter will work
amazon.com
jesus christ
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I ordered that a few weeks ago. Doesn't werk. Spoke with Unicomp rep and he told me that their USB keyboards will not work with passive adapters
so unicomp make their model ms so they can detect whether they're plugged into a ps2 or usb port and switch protocols appropriately?
Thanks. Now I just have to figure out how to buy it
danluu.com
topre keyboard 55ms
cherry keyboards 30ms
filco keyboards 30ms
razer keyboards 15ms
roamer G keyboards 0.2ms (now has red switch)
Bloody LK keyboards 0.2ms (6 different switch types)
WOoting keyboard probably 0.2ms
Zowie new keyboard probably 0.2ms
time to upgrade your keyboards kids rip off thous caps from that laggy old trash
stop being a virgin and send them an email
I actually tried calling them a few seconds ago. Both US numbers were busy
How is Romer-G, a faulty contact switch with excessive chattering, possibly as fast as an optical switch?
That's not much of an answer
sometimes I wonder why leftist politics are still popular, but then I am reminded when stupidity like this rears its head
That's not leftist, it's logical supply and demand. If 2 people want box royals and 200 want mx reds, I can make the reds more expensive and the royals less. That way, a lot of people still buy reds due to demand and more become interested in royals due to the price decrease.
why tho?
"WOoting" are supposedly pretty good and one of the smoothest switches in existence. Not worth the price though
There is noticeable input lag when I press certain combinations of keys AND mouse clicks. I also need a ps/2 keyboard to see if my board is fukt because I can't get into BIOS.
I have one (1) more thing to try that would not need a ps/2 kb but I'm preparing for that eventuality
Please take an economics course. Stay in school, kids.
>still being this retarded
there's a fucking million options for mx red keyboards
there's a fucking million used mx reds out there
go back to school
>noticeable input lag
that's just the membrane shitting itself , switching to PS/2 wont fix that
>can't get into BIOS
now that's weird, you most differently should be able too, do you have fast boot enabled? cause that skips the BIOS on start-up
demand AND supply idiot
Kid, I don't really feel like writing an essay on economies of scale.
>there are kids that don't understand basic supply and demand
>these kids will be running the world
>retard doesn't understand economics and has to use reaction images with every single post
like pottery
>that's just the membrane shitting itself
/mkg/ memed me into getting a unicomp ultra classic
>do you have fast boot enabled?
Disabled. I used to be able to get into it. Just found out that I have to press delete for 20 seconds if all else fails. Will know later. And it looks like there are no active usb-ps/2 converters aside from what that other user linked
Unicomp has terrible build quality when compared to the original IBM model Ms
you could always try a KVM switch
What's the name of that split keyboard where the two halves can be pushed together to look/work like a normal keyboard?
I'm torn between just getting that to eliminate lag and just getting a new kb because of
There are multiple ones like the mistel barocco, vea, or that old acer alps board
small 2-port KVM switches are like 20 bucks, where as a genuine model M is like 70-80
>in 2012 mechanical keyboards cost $10 usd
>in 2018 mechanical keyboards cost $300 usd
why can't there be an ergodox with underglow and backlighting
just so you know that usb to ps2 converter is like 250 bucks
gsaadvantage.gov
>in 2018 user creates a false comparison
other way around buddy
>why can't the memes I've fallen for coalesce?
>underglow and backlighting
this is /mkg/ or r/mkg, maybe ask there
You can get a cheapo gaymer mechanical with outemu switches for like $25
>tfw when all this hassle could have been avoided if I picked the ps/2 variant
>it won't matter /mkg/ said

Would I be introducing more latency with

?
If not I needed extra ports that are easily accessible anyway so this solution fixes three of my problems
