Are the MOD-H switches feel any different from cherry clears?
is the gmmk any good? I've been thinking of getting one but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.
Anyone know where I can get a KUL ES-87 with MX Clear in Canuckistan that isn't $300+? I am really not keen on spending that much for it.
amazon.ca
Barring that, I would have to get the DAS4 Pro with Blues
newegg.ca
Just get a CM storm quickfire instead?
That would be fine assuming I can get it without reds or blacks. I have a Corsair TKL with reds and I regret getting it.
>CM storm quickfire
And it seems I can....

Yay!
Another happy customer.
Recommend silent switch with proper tactile mechanism (such as ALPS tactile leaf and not shitty Cherry stem tumor) that wouldn't start "clicking" with time.
any custom layout enthusiasts here? what's your special sauce?

Are you sure? Plus, it's basically a membrane with a spring.
nice. do you get any use out of double ctrls on the left side?
Not really, I just didn't know what to put where the lower one is. I'm using the one on the upper-left all the time and the lower one is mainly for shortcuts that use the Escape key.

logitech k290, it's shit as fuck
I've been loking at pic related, HAVIT HV-KB395L but it has no media keys and I'm not sure about that detachable cable, I move my keyboard a lot and I don't want to fuck my port too soon.
I'd gladly buy something like microsoft surface, but with leds, wired and space between F keys and delete/insert section

Are those switched any good?
They very decent.

Bump. Need a recommendation. Matias QC seem to become a bit "clicking" with time.

What's a hotswap board under $140 CAD? GK64 and GMMK are way too expensive and I already have a Zhuque. Maybe I should just get another one?
I wanna try Zealios.

Anyone have or used one of these?
mykeyboard.eu
I find little reference to it anywhere else online but looks pretty bang on for what I'm looking for
>mykeyboard.eu
I have an IKBC keyboard with mx clears, supposedly it is the same factory as vortex or something like that, it feels pretty solid and I love it, not very tactile but fells way better than browns, it came with really good pbt keycaps plain looking but good feeling.
Thanks man
Got a switch tester so I was set on clears
Ordered it now, got it without caps because the font on the stock ones made me genuinely angry
Ordered some PBT Tai Hao instead, should be pretty nice
I get a boner whenever I find out about complex switches. Besides hall effect, what other switches are complex?

Korean keyboard for 150GBP fag here. Should I make an overview/unboxing of it? There's no videos of it in English out there.
I have a strong feeling this'll be the last keyboard I buy until it gets FUBAR, which won't happen for at least 5+ years.
>unboxing
Fuck no
>review
Sure why not, as long as you don't state the obvious
What's the cheapest way I can get a 30% keyboard? I just want something I can use for dedicated macro/hotkey buttons. I'd rather not spend $100+.
Wait

Reporting in
Dilly, if it ever goes back in stock
I'm also considering building my own with 27 keys because a dilly is too big, and I'll probably end up with extra PCBs because minimum order is 5 where I'm looking at right now. That's not a promise for anything since I might take a couple months to actually get around to it, but you could also do the same yourself, it's like $50 per order.

Damn, that's exactly what I'm looking for too.

How bad did I fuck up? How much can I expect it to live?
Most people don't like browns at all, but remember that all switches are purely subjective. There are people who genuinely prefer the feel of $5 rubberdomes.
Why are 40% keyboards so expensive? I can get a 60% with rgb and a usb-c cable for like $60, and yet they seem to make you pay MORE for something with less fucking buttons and static backlight?
Are there any cheap ones you guys would mind pointing me to?
They're a niche product. Of course something produced in higher numbers is going to be cheaper.
SA on tactile switches feels like a children's McDonalds keyboard.
No one can prove this wrong.
Post pics of this mcdonald's keyboard you've used user.
Just got the Roccat SUORA
It has browns in it, my favorite keys
Anyone else like Roccat products? I've had their kone mouse for several years. I like how their hardware is decently open and they have linux drivers
where can i buy a not-so-pricey board with gateron reds? so far, amazon, newegg, aliexpress and banggood have all failed me. I'm at a loss.

amazon has some, too bad you're retarded
>Budget
£70 but I'll increase the budget only if it's necessary to get a good quality keyboard.
>Location
UK
>Preferred switch type
I've tried MX Blue and MX Clear. Blue is too loud and Clear too difficult to press. I think I would like a linear switch that doesn't gradually increase in force.
>Layout
UK
>Form factor
TKL or smaller
>Backlight
Not necessary.
>Previous/current keyboards
Pok3r and Majestouch 2 TKL. I liked the keyboard quality but not the switches.
I'm thinking iKBC New Poker II is a good choice.
>>Location
>UK
ouch
Cooler Master with red switches is the only reasonable keyboard you have.
No they literally do not. Look up "gateron red keyboard" on amazon.ca and you will see exactly what i mean.
wrong dumbo
see this undeniable proof
>implying CDN is chinese yuan
That would make that magicforce board $175 USD.
>tfw typing on cherry mx switches
hey, check my original post, I said cheap.
That's topre-level autism right there.
what plastic do laptops use for keycaps? I'm very curious as to laptop cap quality, you'd hope they wouldn't shine up too fast.
The laptop keyboard I'm on right now has caps that feel like ABS, I think.
it is cheap if you live in a first world country. amazon.com has them for 70 bucks
it says $230 on the screenshot...?
>amazon.com
you don't leave home without mechanical switches in your pocket, right?
I idly press a loose defective box navy when i'm bored. It's a bad habit.
by the way, i'm curious; If I removed the clickbar from a box switch, would it then be a working linear?
I think I'll just increase my budget. Is Leopold a good choice? I think I heard that their keyboards are the only ones with stock PBT spacebars.

Bump
Where can I buy one 2u plate mount stabilizer at the absolute cheapest? I don't want to pay 8$ for a full set, I need just 1.
>£70 but I'll increase the budget only if it's necessary to get a good quality keyboard
>TKL or smaller
Tada68 for like £76
>I think I would like a linear switch that doesn't gradually increase in force.
Gateron or box linears are good, but like almost every other spring based switch Hooke's Law does make it gradually move difficult to press. I only know of Matias linears being advertised as constant force (due to a second spring compensating near the top) but you're not gonna be able to get a keyboard with them for cheap.
I ordered my F77 in beige like a year ago, but now I'm looking at the photos and I'm wondering if maybe grey doesn't look better after all. Opinions? Also were there any grey original 4704s, or is it an adaptation of the Industrial SSK scheme?
hand wire?
yes
How bad did I fuck up?
Ducky also uses PBT spacebars
50$ for 10 switches?
