have you ever shot up any keyboards?

What is the difference between Kailh Box switches and Kailh Speed switches?

Is this the Leopold to get, or is there anything similar that's on sale? Also, should I get O-rings or anything together with it for the Cherry MX Blues?

Almost everything except the mount?

I'm thinking about getting a fullsize Magicforce with Gateron Reds. Is this a good board?

Learn Colemak.

>not workman

Either one is fine with me. As long as it's not qwerty.

I swapped caps on my model m from qwerty to qwertz because my typewriter is qwertz

Is this worth it? Seems really cheap for a official MX board: amazon.com/d/Pc-Gaming-Keyboards/GIGABYTE-Mechanical-Keyboard-K83-RED/B01BMJ0Y4O/

qwertz is worse than qwerty for english

Some shitty membrane keyboard from 2010

My typewriter is for Polish, on pc I write pretty much 50/50 Polish and English

So does anyone know of an actual Model M form factor (aka same casing and key setup) but with backlit key caps?

Attached: modelm.jpg (1632x1224, 472K)

Am I doing this right?

Attached: dmcampgun.jpg (1024x768, 384K)

go for it

yeah a model M with a backlight mod

can you elaborate and/or link me to a website where it is explained? i can't seem to find anything explanatory

underglow is nice, it's the in switch rgb that's gay

youtube.com/watch?v=b1C50QV4xiM

so all kailh switches are lubricated?

The ones he mentions are. Don't know about their other switch lines.

Now that the model Fs are being repro'd, how long until we get brand-new beamspring boards?

What if you have underglow AND per switch RGB?

I don't think unicomp makes anything backlit.
the chassis is big enough you could drill through the bottom of it if nothing is holy to you.

you have a truly based and blessed keyboard

Tfw I fell for the high quality ABS meme.

My condolences. See you in a few months once they start shining up.

What case is that

Can anyone tell me what key caps the DREVO Excalibur uses?

Also is this a good TKL to get or should I get something else?

What unholy abominations

At least those layouts try to jam as many keys as possible in a small from factor.

cringe

why do retards do this?

Does this actually exist? Seems perfect to me. It's the only way I'd actually use a numpad.

kinda. the chinks ditched the 60% form factor and went with 75% instead

What's wrong with 68%?

why not just make a FUCKING larger layout?

because the heavier the keyboard the better it is for home defense use. making it a full size will simply mean there is less room for metal so it weighs less.

not gonna lie that is a pretty EPIC meme

not everyone lives in a free country where is possible
if you do want more keys you can also go up above the alphanumerics while still keeping the extra metal.

fuck the haters, this shit is glorious

>buy shitty cherry keyboard
>scratchy as fuck
>want to lube it
>cannot lube without desoldering and of course can't desolder because of warranty

i'll buy from you for 10% original price

Is it possible to build a full keyboard (104)? I can find only cases and pcbs for 60%, but I want to use at work as well.

Is the Magicforce 108 the best choice for a full size Gateron Brown keyboard?

>mfw typing on box jades

I think that only works on certain boards because the power draw is too high. At best you'll have to get a LED strip and attach it manually

Does anyone know where I can get picrelated? Blank black PBT set for Keycool 84 (also known as 75%, among other names).
The only place I found doesn't sell them anymore.

Or is there a shop that sells custom sets that I can build and order it from? Preferably from China because cheap shipping.

Yes. Aliexpress has some kits

Get a chink durgod or ikbc

split or full space for a DZ60 build?
I'm thinking having a layer switch under my usually useless left thumb could be cool

Should I cop an AW768? I like it’s aesthetics

Recommend me some keyboard with many unnecessary keys

just make the switch to ansi
takes a week or two to get used to

when I tried split space I got really annoyed because I didn't realize how often I actually use the other side subconsciously. ended up wishing I hadn't gone with it.
it'll take some getting used to for sure

this is a thread for actual weapon owners boy

Their smoothness is nearly identical when lubed. Vints however have a much nicer sound and nearly no wobble while gats are high pitched and quite wobbly.

linears dont have a sound though
thats just the keycaps
the rebound sound is just plastic on plastic it should sound the same

They do though, there's a noticeable difference in sound between clear housing and opaque ones.

You lied Jow Forums - the novelty of blue switches wore off and now the noise is just annoying.

when did anyone here say that ratteling plastic click jackets are a good thing?

The reason why blues are so annyoing is because their clicky sound is plasticky and they sound like something inside the keycap is broken. Test other clicky BOX switches and you'll realize how much blues suck.
