the last 4 threads were pretty shit. I never even posted in them

you can do better than these

Oh please do elaborate, I need to hear this!

The majority of these threads are just people looking for the best quality full-size boards for under 70 bucks and then complaining when they only get recommended chink shit.

Experimented with quite a few boards and layouts. In the end, I just got cheap modular two years ago, slapped some gats browns on it and chink dsa pbt keycaps. A friend of mine made me wooden wrist rest and I kinda stopped looking to purchase other keyboards ever since. It's rgb, btw, but after a couple of months I decided that backlit is annoying after all. Well, I got chink nopres with pbt dsa at work (also with wooden wrist rest from the same friend) and 60% meme board back at parents place when I visit during holidays, since my mom got tiny desk there.

Is really as shit as they say?
I can't find a PBT set I like that's compatible with my keyboard.

*Is ABS

it's alright if you don't mind smooth surface and abs shine.

Do you like shiny keys?

Commies love ABS
Nazis love PBT
so it's up to you decide whether you're a commie or a nazi

What's up with your WASD keys?

textured keys for gaymen
it's quite comfy for this purpose

OK, that's hideous. I'll try looking harder.
I'd like something similar to pic. must have home/page up+down etc on the num caps

Hi friends,

What's a good recommendation for a tenkeyless mechanical rgb keyboard? Preferably wireless and white.

If you can live without wireless, wait for Ducky to launch the rest of he Pure White series and pick up a One 2 TKL.

Don't bother Ducky ditched that and moved onto the fornite versions. since those are more popular

modern political debate in a nutshell
that's probably like a 300$ GMK set too or some shit

Should I flash newest firmware on my ducky one 2 mini keyboard? How the fuck did they ship this with key chattering issues out of the box?

It was rushed to cash in on the fortnite craze

And then there's nutjobs like me who just want to see more POM sets

Looked at both and I'm leaning towards the Anne Pro 2. But I wish it had arrow keys. I seldom use them in the first place but I dont know how I feel about ditching them all together
The One 2 mini looks really nice. It would be my ideal board if it was wireless

I don’t understand

pick a side already you fucking fence-sitter

AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

POM was invented by Nazis, so you're a Nazi

Check the GK64, RK61 and AJAZZ AK33. These all cheap too. If you're willing to spend a bit more, the Tada68 is also very good.

I know this is a mechanical keyboard thread but might as well ask

4 keys stopped working suddenly on my cheap membrane keyboard I bought 2 months ago, is there anything I can do to fix it?

I'm poor that's why I would like to fix it rather than buy a new one for now

which keyboard is the OP?

ZZ96 with DSA Quartz keycaps

sounds like the membrane is fucked. Try taking it apart and see if the contacts are broken, or maybe dirt got in between them.

one upside of mechs is that you can replace a switch if it gets broken

Just got my first reds. They feel nasty. Back to blues for me.

If you're dicking around changing switches, try some Kailh Box offerings. They're miles better than Cherry.

How do you guys manage with white keyboards? Don't they get dirty fairly quickly? Do you have to clean them often?

just don't be filthy

Agreed. But I would imagine that over time just by having your hands touch them they would get discolored.

Why limit yourself?

you already have one of the best rubber dome keyboards you could buy

or if you downsize to a smaller keyboard you can get

I want to get a new keyboard for fairly cheap, is it better to ask here with you keyboard nerds, or in /csg/ with the cheap fags?
Want something cute looking, with korean lettering, and wired.
Even if it's a separate board and caps, but ideally together as onee unit.
Preferably under $60 USD.

I'm buying this!

anything over 65% is a yikes from me

just get whatever chink shit with outemu switches looks okay on amazon. the e-element ones are kinda popular with the poorfag community
now, if you're a typist who cares about the human machine interface and wants the best tool for the job without going full autism get a Leopold
mechanicalkeyboards.com/search.php?search_type=keyboard&keyword=&brand=Leopold&capmat=&capprint=&switch=&size=&led=&model=&availability=

anything under 165% is a YIKES from me

So, is Corsair an outright meme of a keyboard?

You talking about TKL boards? Was going to get a TKL but decided I wanted the num pads for RTS games.

it's too overpriced for it's build quality. there's nothing wrong with the concept, it's just that if you're gonna spend that much on a keyboard you should get build quality to match.

now that's just ridiculous

Got any more suggestions then? I'm open to all options here.

Pretty much. Stock keycaps are utter trash, non-standard layout makes finding better sets that actually fit a pain in the ass unless you feel like paying another 50 bucks to Corsair for their own set of PBT doubleshots with the same ugly-ass font, and the software, which is required for any form of customization, is a bloated resource hog.

Leopold is the best you can get from a prebuilt. If you want better you have to build it yourself. If you want RGB then Ducky makes the best RGB keyboards. If you want a more budget option, but don't want to go the chink shit route get a cooler master. Their build quality is on par with corsair, but their keyboards are priced appropriately

tomoko on amazon is 25 bucks
korean keycaps are 35 on aliexpress

It's one of those things you probably never would have thought about until you get a keyboard with PBT, but once you have it's impossible to go back.

Thinking of getting my first mkb.
Been looking at the following with brown switches. Any thoughts? Good idea, bad idea?mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3621

Yeah it's really good, I'd get the TKL version though like in the picture above you. They are just better centered for typing, unless you need a full size of course.

want to try something heavier/more tactile than browns so I was thinking clears. But then I see the big meme is zealios v2. Is it worth the extra dosh?

Maybe it's the wrong thread but can you tell me if there's a keyboard with flat laptop keys that don't get shiny?
Apple wired keyboard (model A1243) owner here. Keys have become a bit slippery after 2 years, but are still completely white.

Anyone have the DREVO Calibur V2? Im on the fence about buying one.

Pros:
>White
>RGB
>75%

Cons:
>Wired only (dont really care)
>Outemu switches (not like I'll find anything with cherry greens anyways)
>Cant find pudding keycaps for this size

You want “PTB” keys

Recommend me ps/2 keyboards. Cherry brown/clear preferred. $120 under. Thanks.

Is it safe to wash my ABS caps in warm soapy water?

that wooden wrist rest looks pretty neat, also nice color scheme on the keycaps

Anyone got replacement keycaps for Ajazz Ak33? I cant seem to find any

Yea why not.

Yes it is. Retards will argue that they actually like the shine but you rest assured they're just cucked by Big Keycap.

Any guides on how to mod my HHKB Pro 2?

Heh. Jealous?

I didn't know JJ Abrams used a leopold.

I had a v1 with blacks (pic related) and sold it, I can tell you the build quality was utter shit, flimsy plastic case and 2 stabilizers broke the first time I pulled out the keycaps. Hope they fixed those problems in v2. Also made me realize I hate black switches. Bluetooth was solid and never had problems though.

good, but don't buy brown switches just before they're the "safe middle ground pick"
try some switches out and see what you prefer first

what do i do with the 30 green switches i have?
