ooooooo 8bitdo keyboard
>>103386967If any of the colors turn out even slightly wrong it's ruined. My take: don't even think of buying this until you've seen a real-world unit. Of course it looks perfect in renders...
>>103386967don't buy the keychron k8 the legs broke week 2 and it doesn't work under wayland
>using the modern circular xbox logo
>>103387370Probably meddling from microsoft to make them use the modern logo.
done on my overdrive gaming membrane keyboard from poundlandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynwk_DZx8jwHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>103387158how tf did you break the legs smashing it?
>>103387955he was using boba u4t's, the force required to overcome the tactile bump caused excessive wear and tear on the Keychron's fragile little legs
can anyone answer this; >>103388932
>>103388940Unlikely. It should have the same protections as any modern charging circuit.
nth for lots of sublegends
post your keyboard and please excuse my dope swag
is 8bitdo ever going to do an ISO version?
I got some thick orings and I like them. They silence the downpress and eliminate the harsh feeling of plastic-on-plastic impact.Compared to the best silents (imo), the TTC Frozen, which are very commonly reviewed as not mushy at all, they are almost as silent and feel practically the same if not a little more rigid.
>>103387900what's your point
>>103389029What keycap set is this?
aliexpress and amazon are taking too damn long for my shit to get here
>>103393555didn't some fagazon workers go on "strike" for a few days? maybe that's impacting your stuff, IDK
>>103393530KAM Wraith
>>103386967do iso layouts already you retards reeeee
>>103389849Here's my foamless modded V6 Max (gasket mods) with fast-shining swagkeys dolch and pbtfans dolch window caps that don't quite matchJust put some Tecsee Sunny-side Up switches in it today, they sound good imo.
>>103393913and here's the reason for the window caps
>switched to Box Royal's from rubber dome
>>103394058Hope you're ready for when the royals start clicking.
How does this make any sense? Does the lack of in-switch contacts really make that big of a difference in the force curve for what would otherwise be a linear switch without the clickbar?
>>103394554>clickingwhat do you mean with this

Looking for a good 75% mac compatible board, preferably low profile as I need to carry it around a lot, mainly for dev work.I've been looking at the nuphy air75 v2. Is there anything better in this price range?
>>103395467I know of the Lofree Flow84, it's a 75% but it's a little bit pricier than the air75 v2. It does not have height adjustment though IIRC, and the chassis is metal, so it'd be a little heavier as well. The air75 v2 is probably a solid choice.
>>103394916There's gotta be some other difference than just the lack of contact leaves.
Some of the keys on my mechanical keyboard have died. If I press hard enough, they work sometimes. What do? It's some cooler master keyboard with cherry MX reds.
>>103396725I was just assuming it would be the same exact internals minus the contacts, considering it shares the same name, and even the listed specs I think, but apparently not.These fags also charge waaay too much for their stuff, so I don't even feel like ordering a few to test, when I could get enough switches for a whole 'nother board for the same price.
>>103396828Buy 10 cherry red switches on aliexpress for $5. desolder and remove the old switches that are failing. insert the new switches and solder the two pins. The hardest part of the whole thing is opening the case, probably. I will never buy a keyboard without screws after the one time I cleaned a Corsair keyboard.
V1 with some pro milk yellows I got for cheap.
>>103391976you're wasting your moneymembrane is better, i have the times to prove it
>>103398041better for what
>>103397740Bru, I've done soldering before unsuccessfully lol. Might have to give it a try this time.
>>103398112things
>>103397942too many accents
there are 10000 meme linear switches but it feels like if you don't count spring weight there's really only 5 or 6 truly different linear switches
>>103399372I roll my eyes anymore when I get an ad for a new switch type in stock on KPRepublic or other stores and it's a fucking linear, zero variation.
>>103399372There could definitely be less switches that are just a recolor of another switch.
>>103398602You are rightI replaced all with black but arrows which I seem to be missing
>>103400115As long as the accents are done sparingly, and express ONE idea, I think they're ok. Arrow keys is not as conventional as enter/esc, but it's excusable in some colors. Maybe not in more 'executive' or urgent colors like red, which are expressive of enter/esc. But in white against black the contrast merely suggests an alternate kind of functionality, yin and yang, which can be appropriate to the arrows I think
