>>106926847I can tell that the tilde is mod color and it's pissing me the fuck off
>>106926862Yeah I don't really get that either. Putting mod color on pipe or tilde is full retard and so many kits are doing it now
>>106926877Why do people hate basic aesthetics? Having a gap between tab and esc is dumb.
>>106926862>>106926877Sheer fucking autism.
>>106926847Perhaps that's why it got canceled. Looks like a hobo board with the mod color tilde. Boom
>>106927004Mod colors express mod functionality, which is why they are disgusting on characters like tilde, pipe, and spacebar, which input characters as the alphas do.
>>106927126Why aren't you complaining about the two tone F keys as well, then.
>>106927167The rules are different for the f-row and the numpad. On the f-row, alternating clusters make them easier to distinguish visually, and it's just an old convention which is by this point well entrenched. The physical separation from the alpha cluster is what makes it acceptable that it plays by different rules, but if some take issue with this I understand that point of view, obviously.On the numpad, the numbers are distinct from operators, which are treated as they would work on e.g. a calculator, which is ofc more comparable to mods than to alphas
>>106927192The mental gymnastics you have to go through to say "okay well these aesthetic changes are fine but I DRAW THE LINE AT TILDE!" is comical.
>>106927240Listen man you can make your keyboard as ugly as you want it's your keyboard, I'm sorry if it upsets you that I and others think you're a tasteless retard with no respect for agreement between visuals and function, but you're not going to change my mind by accusing me of "mental gymnastics" lol
>>106927260But, neither are you. You excuse non mod keys being colored like mod keys when they're on the numpad, and you excuse mod keys being colored like alpha keys when they're in the F row.If your complaint was "I prefer the aesthetics when tilde pipe and space aren't mod colored", then that would've been fine. Instead you tried to make it into a functional issue, which is retarded. I prefer when they're mod colored, makes the board look like a smiley face.
>>106927293I will leave it to neutral third parties to make up their minds for themselves who is the idiot in this exchange.
The F-row is separate from the main cluster, and they're literally function keys, not alphanumerics. So breaking them up both spacing-wise and visually makes sense, since having a line of 12 very similar looking keys in a row would lead to the user searching for the right key, which would be less efficient. In the main cluster mods being one color, and the alphanumerics being another makes sense. If you want a mod colored tilde or pipe key just for visual symmetry that's fine, but it breaks the convention of why those keys are colored the way they are.
>>106927355Maybe next GMK should start making mod color 1 in all their sets so that these "aesthetic symmetry enjoyers" can break the unity of the numrow in order to perfectly mirror the color of 2u backspace. I wonder if that's a bridge too far even for them. Although I think Gay-for-GMK Tommy Two-Intros would do it in a heartbeat
>>106927192bet you volunteered to be the hall monitor
>/mkg/ general>0 discussion about keyboardsguys come on
>>106927934there is a discussion about mod colors right above your post which you could contribute to, or perhaps you'd like to talk about chinkshit keycap recommendations from aliexpress?
HAVE I BEEN SUMMONE->Two-Introsmust be someone else then, for I have a third Intro on the way. Starry black, it's perfect for the KKB Poltergeist. Always wanted to have a purple keycap set that didn't look like gays from outer space.
Also lol at the plebbitor who told me to go for PP with tactiles, I tried it out of curiosity but nothing makes my Melodics feel enjoyable except plain old Alu.
>be right-handed>try southpaw keyboard for a few months>it's awful>go back to regular keyboard>outside of return windowI don't know what I was expecting and I have only myself to blame.
im not impressed with my keychron v1 browns
Made up a bunch of totem boards into full builds. I have two or three wired and one wireless--what do you guys usually do to sell builds?
anyone ever order from aulas website?
imagine ceramic caps but with see through glass legends
>>106928750poo switches give poo results
>>106928750Avoid Keychron and Cherry.
ALUMINUM KEYBOARDS ACT AS SATELLITE DISHES THAT BROADCAST YOUR KEYSTROKES DIRECTLY TO SPACEWE HAVE BEEN PLAYED FOR FOOLS
>>106929905they actually shield it like your metal hat. or does your tinfoil acts like satellite dishes sending your thoughts to space?
>>106930020>or does your tinfoil acts like satellite dishes sending your thoughts to space?the dish points down, space is up not down, are you stupid?
want to try a topre keyboard. does 100% topre iso variants exist? i can't find one
>>106928737sell it on ebay
>>106928737how much you pay for that?shit's equivalent to 220USD here
>>106929831>cherryKeychron Super Browns are not manufactured by Cherry
>>106928737If it makes you feel any better I committed to buying an even more expensive southpaw keyboard before I discovered this
>>106927906Running in the hallway violates the calm predictability of the hallway which makes it conducive to safe and steady traffic of students. That this public good, enjoyed by all, should be endangered by the recklessness of a few students is obviously unacceptable. My school had athletic facilities and open fields where a student can run to his heart's content, leaving no excuse to do so in the hallways.
>>106927355Can you actually touch type the f-keys?
>>106930764Jesus Christ dude. Never change.
>>106927313Woopsiethey used mod colors on the tilde on official promo shotsguess that settles it.
>>106931248This says so much about you that you think this is evidence lol
>>106931256Tbf it's on one out of several others where the tilde key isn't a mod color but nonetheless, when it works out it works out. The mod color scheme looks good because it's WKL.
After searching high and low, I finally found the Carbon R3 in CDATA. It's Morbin time, bitches!
>>106931383>SingaporeThis all makes a lot more sense now.
Okay this is my final form for real
>>106930138Not only that but true topre switches don't even exist in modern manufacturing. Good luck finding one of these
>>106930614About $100 from Microcenter.
>>106931542Looks like a mix of CYL, SA and DSA profiles. The alphas have all sorts of colours. Now this, this is TRVE individualism. This keyboard has character.
>>106931542Ohhh lol now I know what this keycap set was supposed to be
>>106931785>The alphas have all sorts of colours.They all, as far as I can tell, indicate functionality. Dark for what we usually call mods, light for alphas, and a middle gray helps to see the shape of the numpad in the alphas (which, as a hidden-numpad-65% user, I completely understand.) The mod color dot in the numpad is an interesting difference, which does make sense, since it's a bit of an edge case (Is it modifying the inputs that follow, or placing a dot character in the number? Their interpretation makes sense.)
>>106931542Where is that faggot who says there is no use case for layers now????
Should i get the Ajazz ak820 base black one? t. thirdie
