/mkg/ - Mechanical Keyboard General

If you want to change just cancel it.
Looks good enough, and if I'm not mistaken those keycaps alone are 20 bucks on Aliexpress.

Are mkgs completely a lost cause if I use mac?

what model?

Magicforce 49

No. Even apple made mechanical keyboards

Gona build two keyboard, have nothing to do atm so i make some for fun then throw them into the trash

Looks nice but Blues feel much better than browns for typing.

>cherry mx
Wew
>brown
Heh I prefer clicky switches over tactile ones

I agree, the colour of the desk is hideous

>using a mac
Wft are you doing on this boar?

Gateron > MX Cherry > Outemu

>Gateron > MX Cherry

Well lad I fucking nailed it. Got a Magicforce 68 with gateron browns for 47 bucks.

amazon says they are Outemu?

Out of all the flavours and colours available, you chose the only one resembling poop. I can't say it's a 100% good decision

There are two versions.

Cherry's are better than Gateron

More popular != better

They are just better period.

Did you try them side by side?

How stock is that keyboard and how much is customized?

they are for kids and hipsters

I want to buy a vintage keyboard, what should i look out for ? are their any particular scams ?

Only thing you want is the IBM model M. Most old stuff is just not good.

But if you really want to get into it, check out this guy youtube.com/user/Chyrosran22/videos?disable_polymer=1

Just watch chyros' vids.

ok well i found one for 57 bucks and it comes with a usb replicator is this good deal ?

I'm not too sure, I think there are different versions. Might want to do some research.

I can't compare because I haven't tried them, but when I got it, this one was 47 bucks and the cherry version 75.
I just wanted something cheap for my first mech.

It also resembles chocolate.

>jp layout
you fucked up.

fucked up. Das went downhill a long time ago.

Anyone have trouble typing on a 1u shift . How the fuck do you get it to work?

Also how do you use arrow keys on a 60%? Do you really use caps+WASD?

Wtf is illegal? It is just a TG3 cover that makes it feel terrible.

Those rubber domes are what makes it illegal, and whomever thought it was a good idea has already been shot.

oh ok, you are memeing.

There's no such thing as an illegal keyboard

Get one from WASD?

that looks nasty, and on top of that's it's a bad idea to get WASD keycaps

Rubber dome best value. Guess how much I paid for this

$0

nope. 1 dollar

Sucks that you overpaid for it, but I hope you enjoy it.

What is your dream keyboard?

A low profile beamspring with it's signature tripleshot PEI keycaps

rubber dome, Hitler? prove it

>Anyone have trouble typing on a 1u shift . How the fuck do you get it to work?
Get a decent layout, dedicated arrow keys on a 60% keyboard are pure madness
>Also how do you use arrow keys on a 60%? Do you really use caps+WASD?
You get a fully programmable keyboard, set the key you want to toggle a layer and use any key you wish as an arrow key

>ISO
>shit keycaps
>non-programmable
Bleah

The one I already have

>I'm using the Duck One TKL RGB with MX Browns, pretty great imo.

lads whats the best place to get blanks in burger land
cherry switch

Are unicomp keyboards any good ? and are their cheaper buckling spring alternatives ?

where you get these silicon cover for keyboards?

These covers are commonly used to hide illegal switches on keyboards. I'm not gonna tell you what site to get them from since I'm not a snitch, but I hope you're smart enough to figure it out.

Best thing to purchase on Taobao?

tada68

detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.4.20c32b2elgCRMx&id=559613560209&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=3&skuId=3492068417024

Tada68 pro sucks cause it's infected with bluetooth. Get the normal non-pro version
world.taobao.com/item/537653557670.htm#detail

I'm an idiot but how do I get the switches I want with that?

google translate is pretty self explanatory
/csg/ and reddit all have guides on how to order from taobao

Any of you bought a keyboard from aliexpress? I don't live in the US so shipping prices fuck me over but aliexpress usually has free shipping

I live in China and can read Chinese ok. I'm just curious about how I get my preferred switches on this "tada68" board you told me.

Well that version only comes with gateron switches, so if your preferred switch is something like zealios you're gonna have to order it from KBDfans

Fuck, I want box navies. I'll probably have to "build" my own.

Then get it from KBDfans if you don't want to build it. Those guys are chinks anyway

I can just separately order box navy switches with the tada68 prebuilt, right? It doesn't give me the option for box jade or box navy on the tada68 prebuilt page. Is their website just shit?

What are some blank keyboards? Give me a few models.

ePBT blanks if you want cherry profile, SP if you want DSA

is WASD a good place to get custom keycaps?

are there any good side-printed keyboards? so fair i only seen ducky

If you want good quality ones, then no. There is a guy on etsy that will do custom dye-sub keycaps for you.

Leopold and Filco also makes some

Are you even good at Japanese?

As far as tactility goes, what's the next step up from cherry blues?

*Nipponese
And as you can see, yes.

Box whites

Box navies

I'm just getting into mechanical keyboards. I've had a quickfire tkl but this is the first time I've delved into enthusiast boards. I ordered a whitefox mostly due to how gorgeous it was and I'm trying to downsize. I got it with Hako clears but now I'm reading some mixed opinions on them. Anyone have any experience with them> thoughts?

Should have gotten hako royals m8.

do you CIA niggers here have one of these?

you can turn it off my fellow weeb

>buy keyboard with stupid feature
>just turn it off
That's dumb. Why pay more for something you'll never use?

>pay more
That's the thing, it's actually the cheapest one of that size, so it's kinda tempting as it even lacks those retarded ''gamer' fonts on the caps. Pic related also makes my pee pee hard too, but it's much more expensive.

Eh, I'm just parsimonious.

Sounds like a personal problem then. Your stinginess is preventing you from enjoying your life. As for me I'm waiting for my model F reproduction keycaps to ship so I can finally kit out my F107
