What's a nice cheap chink 40% with bluetooth? Gonna use it with my TV box and phone so I probably won't need function keys or numpad.
Christopher Ward
Anne Pro 2 if you're okay with 60% instead
Logan Lee
Not as small as I expected but it looks decent, how's the battery?
Benjamin Morgan
1st for model m
Tenkeyless a gay.
Hudson Bennett
is there an ortho i don't have to solder
Samuel Hall
But the best programmers and engineers in the world used TKL model Ms

>21a 22lr with a silencer
There's no way that thing cycles reliably. All of the 21as have feed issues when chambered in 22lr.
Should've gone with the chad centerfire 25 acp variant instead of virgin rimshit
Joseph Fisher
The silencer adds backpressure which makes it cycle reliably with regular ammo, doesn't need super high velocity stuff. It's more reliable than my P22 that's fo sho.
Christian Stewart
Greatest board of all time, coming in
Joshua Reyes
Is there anything good in the same form factor as the old Choc Mini? I love the minimal keyboard that still has F keys, and that the F keys are inline with the number keys.
Levi Wilson
There are a number of 75% boards out there. Probably not ones with the exact same layout though.
Michael Robinson
>wireless
yeah, no.
Cameron Scott
Build a KBD75.
Carter Harris
Seems all I ever see is ones that droped the F keys.
Forgot to say. Prefer not to build my own. :c

just to name a few, also the KBD75 does have assembly service
Robert Robinson
ones without F keys are 65% keyboards
you need to look at 75% keyboards
there's a bunch of cheap chink ones on amazon like the ajazz, e-element, and drevo ones
Michael Hill
so... cherry or gaytreon? or optical?
Henry White
as long as it's not conductive it's good.
Christopher Mitchell
Cool, thanks for the help.
Aiden White
Where can you get a kit cheap? I've been meaning to build a mechanical keyboard for a while, and my old keyboard just died so now's the time!
Isaiah Roberts
Posted yesterday and got some recommendations for cheap to 200$ ish keyboards

Looking for a mx: Clear / Brown or Reds

Had blues and hated them due to sound and too much force for actuation but liked the tactile feel
Gavin Anderson
Is pic related a good purchase ?
Thinking of getting browns/clears (but the one im looking at is mx browns)
Landon Rivera
Just got a MX black keyboard. Was typing on Topre for a few years. When do the typos get better?
Jeremiah Green
You can get more keys for the same price
Aaron Sanchez
When you git gud.
Brayden Green
I am also interested in this keyboard, but I need the ISO Portuguese layout, which they don't make.
Thing is, I could bet a Portuguese keycap set from Varmilo for the alphas, but I'm not sure if they have the same profile as the Leopold.
Nathaniel Morris
i specifically want a smaller keyboard,
im just not sure if i should get the browns or clears
Carson Taylor
Leopold is high tier. Get it if you like the layout. As far as brown vs clear you really need a key tester if you don't already have one.
William Turner
why do people like tenkeyless so much? how are you going to bind things to your tenkeys if you have no tenkeys to bind things to?
Hunter Jones
Not sure. Blender is virtually unusable without a numpad.
Jack Ward
Some people would rather have the mouse closer to the home row than have a numpad, is why.
Elijah Thomas
KBDfans sells them, or if you're in Europe candykeys is one of their distributors if you wanna save on shipping and VAT/customs.
Jonathan Foster
Macropad on the left
Benjamin Wright
numpad is a waste of space, im a cs student and ive never used or have seen anyone use one.
In 16+ years of using a pc ive never once used the numpad over the top row
Aiden Thomas
Based Filco poster
Christopher Taylor
Kayden Watson
Joshua Jackson
It just depends on how often you need the numpad. You could easily put a numpad to the right of your mouse. I plan on getting one desu.
David Walker
same. need it everyday. for a lot of applications the numpad is for based shortcuts.
Aiden Price
Disgusting
Grayson Fisher
Just jelly because too poor to afford a vortex race 2.
Ayden Lopez
So found an old IBM 6784 really cheap.
Is there a way to use it's keyboard as a computer keyboard?
Brody Parker
Nigga please, my keyboard cost just as much. Don't start this shit.
Cooper Hernandez
yeah, but it's just a model M so I wouldn't bother
William Rivera
Well, model M sell for 100 bucks, I found this one for 30 euros, so sounds like a good deal, if only I find a way to interface it.
And I just found a 6747-2 for 15 euros.
Mason Adams
wow what a shithole, anyway the model M is a membrane keyboard so you can just hook up a teensy or something like that to the traces. deskthority has a whole bunch of info on stuff like that since several people make aftermarket controllers for the model M
Nicholas Collins
Why there's a spike on your magic wand?
Grayson Diaz
pls no kill old tech
Jaxson Ward
its a groove amplifier
Evan Collins
I see, teensy, that looks like a cool electronics project to do on my free time (assuming I just don't buy the parts and then am too lazy to actually do it)
Don't worry, I would never do any irreversible changes to the typewriter, just a small extension to it's functionality that can easily be undone.
Lincoln Green
Can g recommend me a PDB with bluetooth and usbC, preferably open source software
Levi Cooper
Literal boomer crying
Austin Rogers
LOL
you just need to look on places like craigslist.
ebay is a scam. you can find MINT model Ms for around a 100 bucks
southcoast.craigslist.org
I've even found 2 SSKs for around 60 bucks each
Cameron Diaz

Ryder Harris
Got a k63 for 20 bucks
what do
Sebastian Green
recycle it I guess
Ryder Hall
Get some PBT keycaps for it, though with the retarded bottom row that won't be totally straight forward.
Grayson Roberts
Stick in pooper.
Jordan Ross
get new keycaps, disable the RGB
Carter Hernandez

just looking for a good keyboard
>form
65ish is a good spot but anything bigger is fine too
>previous
blackwidow ult 2014 - really loud blues and nice feel
ajaz ak33 - bad keycaps and ok switches, but lacked any tactility
Would prefferably like a keyboard that isnt expensive and has a nice black color with little to no rgb. MX Brown/Black or Reds are preffered
Connor Brooks
Tada68
Wyatt Long
will PBT keycaps not be a shiny mess after six months of heavy use? i'm not the user who owns the k63 but i'm looking to replace some ABS caps that came with my keyboard
Lincoln Perry
>will PBT keycaps not be a shiny mess after six months of heavy use?
Yes, that's the point.
Ian Moore
Doesn't get shine, doesn't get UV yellow, isn't melt by strong cleaning agents, only downside is it's relatively more expensive.
Joseph Hernandez
oh fuck, i just noticed the bottom row thing, well shit, might as well use the keyboard until i end up typing on transparent jelly
>or when the keyboard kills itself due to lolsuddencorsairdeath
David Kelly
Im looking at the fc660m and fc660c
confused by the advantage of topre keys
Are they worth it ? Never seen them IRL and its about 120$ more
Isaiah Butler
>am prepared to drop hundreds on the perfect keyboard
>all these PCBs and yet the perfect one doesn't exist
fmd
I don't even use LEDs. I just want to toy with programming them (status and layer indicators, etc.), and to show off to normies.
Isaiah Johnson
Anyone knows anything about cherry silent blacks?
David Bennett
anyone here know about how to get topre in canuckland
Jaxson Wood
they feel good, smooth and comfy
Michael Sanchez
The most serious program I use on the computer is reaper which I don't really need to bind anything, the extra mouse space is nice.
Sebastian Nelson
thanks hun, might get a varmilo board with them tomorrow then :]
Gavin Lee
>silent blacks
no such thing user
Jonathan Cruz
Jaxon Thomas
He was making a race joke you absolute retard
What are you, black?

Off topic.

>no left row of macro keys
>no laser etching
does it exist?
Bentley Rivera
Not true, but whatever you say
Brandon Miller
oh forgot this
>full size not TKL
Jason Thompson
>blue switches
Liam Clark
Only box switches are water/dust resistant cherry doesn't make any IP rated switches
Nathaniel Diaz
explain this?
Jaxson Morris
what's to explain? cherry doesn't make IP rated switches, also box switches are IP56
Adam Collins
>volume dial
Why not just use the one on your amp, you have a headphone/speaker amp right?
Elijah Davis
literally says tested up to IP32 rating
even if cherry doesn't have a natural IP rating, manufacturers do use cherry switches in IP rated boards meaning that they either seal it themselves, or the switch is actually somewhat resistant just not gone through certification
Jonathan Taylor
There's a rubber "sleeve" around the switches on that one.
Cooper Young
And? Corsair puts a condom on the switches to give it that rating. Again Cherry doesn't make IP rated switches Besides that technique isn't new. The TG3 which is a 20 keyboard with cherry switches does the same thing
Isaiah Williams
>he uses condom'ed switches
Juan Lopez
k70 rapidfire mk2
yay or nay?
Dylan Baker
I actually got one of those cop keyboards that come with condom'ed MX blacks ;^)
The rubber dome is tactile, but it just feels weird. luckily you can take it of easily, and for the $5 I paid for it I'm not complaining.
Cameron Peterson
>shit caps
>shit software
>mediocre build quality
Julian Murphy
what keyboard
Eli Butler
How much of a meme is single key stabilizer?
Luis Parker
good tolerances on solidly constructed switches negate the need for any other stability
on cheaper keyboards, i imagine it could reduce wiggle a bit, but when youre looking at quality plastics with even better molding, then you dont need to worry about it
Joseph Foster
It's the cop keyboard. It's goes by a couple names like TG3 or Data911. There's a more normal version made by the same people called Deck82. The keycaps are doubleshot ABS and the build quality isn't really high, but you can find them new for 20 bucks so you can't really complain all that much I suppose.
Aiden Jenkins
is there a hot-swappable board where I could get clicky box switches, that still has all of below?
Luis Anderson
No because blue switches don't come in a box format, there is a custom box switch called pale blues, but you can't really get them in prebuilts since they're not OEM.
