I have an old keyboard with a 13 pin DIN cable. How can I use this in a modern computer? Can I go from DIN to PS/2?
>F77 never ever
→
Ah shoot, it's sold out unfortunately. Thanks anyway though, user. I will definitely pick that one up once it's available again
>13 pin DIN cable
wew lad, that sounds like you're gonna have to create a custom controller for it, unless someone else already has. what keyboard is it?
A NEC PC-8801 type B
I planned to take it apart for the switches and caps but the condition is so good that I'll have to buy another one for that.
that uses it's own protocol, ask around on deskthortiy if someone has made a converter for it
These threads are consumerist cancer preying on people obsessed with collecting. You have a mental illness if you have more than one of these.
You have a mental illness if you're on this website in the first place so
I have two on my desk, one on my lap, ten on the floor behind me and one downstairs.
I recently switched from an old rubber dome keyboard to a cherry brown one and I'm having a very hard time typing without making mistakes, will I get used to it or should I just throw this away and get some other switch, i would like someone good both for tyiping and gaming.
try it for a couple weeks, if you don't like it just get a topre keyboard
How do you know that it has its own protocol? Is that written anywhere?
this just came in the mail today and honestly im really happy with my purchase
mechanicalkeyboards.com
Nigga I ain't paying 200 dollars for a keyboard.
I bought an older one for about £20 + shipping.
How different are they from cherry mx ones(browns) and how loud?
They're really quiet and very smooth. MX browns feel really mushy by comparison.
Stock browns are unironically the worst widely available switch.
I would recommend getting clears or even blues if you don't want to break the bank
Not him, but I find topre extremely mushy. Not as bad as browns though.
they're better in every single way, plus they're capacitive which means they'll last much longer then any cherry mx switch
If it used XT or AT protocols it would mention it since that was part of the licensing agreement, also it's a Z80 which means it probably uses SASI
Are blues bad at gaming or is it just a meme?
Maybe when I get another one I can take that apart and do a conversion internally. I'd like to make use of the cable though; it is magical.
They're "bad for gaming" because they're loud as fuck. If you play without headphones or use microphone they can get a little obnoxious.
There's ways to mod them to be quieter (ie jailhouse blues), but most people who play games avoid clickies altogether. You can play video games on any keyboard really, the meme that you need light switches to play games is stupid.
blues are shit for rapid key strikes.
theres a collar around the stem that has to reactivate on every upstroke. with blues if u want to rapid press without waiting, u have to ride the switch between a bottom out and before the collar snaps back up its very gay.
You can't rapid press something as light is a blue switch, then you have no finger strength.
blues are designed for typing "comfortably".
I game with blues just fine, and so do all the Chinese e-sport players. you're just bad
wrong, you can rapidly press the switch even if the clicking mechanism hasn't reset itself, but the switches are light enough that it does reset most of the time
Blues have such a light spring, I have no trouble rapidly pressing a blue.
You don't need to wait for the click jacket to reset either, so you're absolutely wrong.
My original ROCCAT Ryos MK keycaps are getting extremely greasy extremely easy. Have to wash hands each 30 minutes and clean it everyday to have a comfortable experience.
My hands aren't a problem, it's just the keycaps. Never experienced such a thing with any other keyboard or mouse. Should I just buy different caps? What would you reccomend? Will the key illumination work with custom keycaps?
What similar looking keyboards are available right now?
I just want a keyboard with programmable LEDs that would work under Linux. Help pls
k-type, ganss g.s 87
Where the fuck can you find new K-Types right now?
Hey I'm a bit new to all this but what do you guys think about a Seiko 5 SNXS77K, is it suitable for a beginner?
mechmarket? It shows up pretty often these days. also there was a dude who was selling literally 1300 halo trues from 13 k-types he bought like a month ago and he's gonna sell those switchless soon. lowest i've seen them go is $110-$120 too
that's ABS for ya, get these
aliexpress.com
wrong thread fuckko
Ducky One RGB
Oh yeah I remember that, pic related was taken by him after everyone bought the switches too the absolute madman
>tfw typing on cherry mx switches
Can anyone recommend some really thick pbt keycaps? Black is preferred
He literally said he never used them why don't you learn to read you third world faggot.
just switched from rubber to mx browns and I already regret my decision., fucking paid 50 euros for this but |i hope I can sell them for similar cause new is 130
Devlin Q series are the thickest PBT keycaps, if you can afford them that is

Tell me about halo switches. Why are they so shilled right now?
Reddit and Geekhack think the hybridization of halo trues and panda linears is the best mx switch on the market.
some redditors probably want to drive the value of them up. As far as the switches they were originally a scam riding on the Topre hype, and while they apologized I still won't support a single thing they come up with
Cognitive dissonance from redditors
Halos are actually really nice, but I genuinely don't understand the comparisons to topre.
The closest mx switch to topres imo is box royals.
that's to big user.
what is this, a keyboard for gay ants?
I hope that redditors will now learn that similar force curve =/= similar feel. I still can't believe that people fell for it. They're not a bad switch per se, but they shouldn't have advertised them as such

What's the difference between this and the enjoypbt sets that they sell? The black on black looks basically the same too
nu
I can understand no numpad, but this is too far
they both use gateron keycaps, just the dye-sub is done with a different company
don't you know, the smaller the keyboard the better you are at programming
Oh okay. So they should be basically the same then? The dye sub one seems to be cheaper so I might just go with that unless the enjoypbt is a bit better somehow
they're both dye-sub so just get the cheaper one, but it seems that the 108 key set is out of stock
true
Even IBM new smaller keyboards were better
I unironically never use the function row unless I'm trying to get at my bios.
that keyboard has the number row missing to
you can rebind the keys you know
Let's all point and laugh at this faggot and his gay dick loving keyboard
not on that one, it has no controller, its just some resistors and a serial connection
n-no b-b-bully me
A simple VST filter on your mic will eliminate the annoying sound of blues.
thats also too big, needs to fit in your estrogen prescription box.
is this one s-s-mall enough?
>no controller
>serial connection
you should check with google first
New ducky shine looks like shit I was really holding out for it.
Should I go with ducky shine 6 or ikbc rgb?
what does it look like?
>Blues
>Bad for gaming
What? Most gaming keyboards either have reds or blues.
that looks like your normal Filco, Varmilo or Leopld keyboard
Where do I find single keys?
My space bar and tilde key got damaged on a hyper x I want to give away.
Leds + white = eww
The fuck are they thinking?
When and why did Alex Jones put panties on his head
they come in multiple colors m8
you mean keycaps or the switches
Does anybody have any experience with Keycool? What's their quality and reliability like? I want to try out one of these smaller size keyboards and the price seems good.
it's average chink shit quality
Is the Pok3r the best keyboard since the Model M/F?
no that would be this keyboard
How come people in a keyboard general don't like real keyboards?
That would be the New Model F
I do tho
>all that trash followed by an actually good keyboard at the very bottom
quite bizarre
Other one died
The key caps.
they cost about a dollar a piece
wasdkeyboards.com
Give me one good reason not to build an ergodox
The Dactyl and Dactyl Manuform exist
Because ergodox are prebuilt boards
>Hurr Durr I'm gonna build a unicomp guys
imagine being this new
MAKE 8X5 KEYBOARD AND SELL ME IT FOR $25
