>barebones kit>tkl>under $150why is this so hard to find?
>>108592553Oh fuck yeah another obviously fake infographic where you can see the size of the main cluster dramatically changing, as if a 96% has bigger alpha keys than a TKL
>>108592591Calm down buddy. It obviously just isn't exactly to scale
>>108592553The bottom configuration is a real keyboard, the rest are toys.
>>108592590just buy a keychron k8 pro for $84 and pull the keys/switcheshttps://www.keychron.com/collections/80-layout-keyboards/products/keychron-k8-pro-qmk-via-wireless-mechanical-keyboard
>>108592612Fuck you. There's a war on 96% and I've noticed. Fixed the image btw
>>108592734There isn't, but God I wish there was. Commit to 100%(+) or walk the path of the minimalist.
>>108592734I just copied and pasted from the keychron site. You need to take a breath and relax
>>108592758>>108592777Nice try FAGGOTS
use case for 96% over 80%?
Hall effect keys suck. Do not buy.
>>108592887In case you want a numpad but don't want a 100% board, shrimple as.
96% apologists still cannot explain why TKL and a separate numpad you can put wherever is some grave sin and why you MUST commit to the 96% meme.Or better yet, have the numpad removable/movable to the left. 100% or TKL, depending on whether you're working or playing.
>>108592294Are these modern boards with PS/2 coiled beige cables? I swear, can you get custom-made beige coiled USB-C to USB-A cables anywhere nowadays? I'm talking classic, non-braided, PVC coated, non-aviator ones. Would kill for an F122 with one of those for the complete feel.

im done being a key minimalist bros. compact layers are comfy but I've come to the realization that big keyboards can have good layers for comfy typing too, and also no weird modifier placement compromises, and then all the extra keys are free macro keys.

Why did people used to be obsessed with Filco keyboards when they weren't hotswappable? Seems like a huge pain in the ass.
when I press an overlubed switch it's like>*SQUISH* *SPURT SPURT* *SPURRRRT*
>>108594550They were popular before hotswap even existed. Filcos were always overpriced and (at the time) had shitty thin lasered ABS keycaps.
>>108594550Every keyboard back then was not hotswappable and there were little to no DIY kitsYou bought a Filco because all the other prebuilt keebs were of lesser quality even if Filcos were overpriced. Leopold was their best competitor.
>>108594550if i could get one in stock id buy it just for a backup
>>108594550You literally only have to desolder the switches once to spring swap and film them, solder them back in and you're set for the next decade
>>108594555just buy prelubed switches
>>108594153yeah I thought about it but after trying split and column stagger, i can't go back to row stagger slab. that being said i don't move my halves around much on my desk i just set them to the tilt i like and they stay put, so something like an alice might be okay if they were column stagger>>108594175>picholy based>60%i'm thinking of something like this, which is 98 keys so more like a 96%its ugly but probably comfy? idk how good keys in the center would be, but probably better than on the edges, and certainly a better use of center space than two tiny oled screens and empty air

A few key caps have broken and are somewhat holding on by rubber bands. I don't really want another gaming keyboard. I'm on a Linix distro and I don't care for needing companion software. I didn't use Logitech's except to adjust the lighting effects in which I found out it can be adjusted manually. The most I want is a type of scroll wheel for volume.

I want to try out some keyboards in person before I buy so I know what to expect, but what stores actually have ones you can feel? Microcenter?
>>108597653If there is a keyboard group that has meetups in your area you can try there.Otherwise you probably just want to buy a switch tester since retailers aren't going to have lots of boards open for people to play with.
Does anyone actually make a decently priced keyboard with a southpaw numpad?
So, Joe/Ellipse managed to revive the Model F capacitive buckling spring mechanism.Why did no one revive the Alps Blue switch mechanism within an MX housing and an MX stem to be used on modern boards?Just listen: https://youtu.be/OcHnqzgkzKo?t=722Why can't we have this?

>>108600031I hate keyboards with a floating switch design like that.

>>108600031Your posts are so gay and retarded they've cured my homosexuality. I am super straight now. And fuck cherry switches.
Realized all common keyboards are based on typewriters ancient design of row staggering which was to prevent levers from clashing.I'll never be the same. Column staggers are now my life.
>>108601020see >>108593204
>>108601056Still row staggered. Now from home row there are 2 diagonal directions to get to next row. This is not simple at all.I've realized keyboards should be shaped like hands.
>>108601128so you want an ortho keyboard. that isn't new. but they're pretty bad
For anons with a knob on your keyboard, do you use it? I don't because I already use the knob on my DAC for volume control.
>>108601189No. Ortho is a perfect grid matrix. Fingers are longer than one another so column staggered is what I want. I got a Corne keyboard coming tomorrow which is one the most popular open source designs.

I have a problem with dust, hair and general crap getting stuck in my keyboard. does such a thing as a flip cover exist? like when im not currently typing i should be able to easily flip the cover down, but i cant find anything like that which exists
Sell me on the 96%. In theory it seems superior to the 100% because it has a numpad built in that's also closer to the arrow keys (awesome) while making the keyboard much smaller (Seriously, why is there so much wasted empty space on full-size keyboards), AND it doesn't have an Insert key (Who's stupid idea was it to invent this key? Good riddance!). But upon closer inspection it seems to be missing the Print Screen key. And it puts the delete key right next to F12. Why would you do this? F12 is one of the most important Function keys and now every time I want to press it I'm at risk of deleting whatever happens to be selected. Are you crazy??? And how do I take screenshots now? I have to set up a new shortcut key/macro?
>>108601829used 96% for years. it worked.
>>108601810They've had these since the early 90s. You can keep them on and still use them.
>>108601839The F12/Delete thing was just me being silly (although deleting stuff while sleepy is more of a risk now), but how do you take screenshots? You have to set up a new macro/shortcut?
>>108601829>>108601848Wait, I'm dumb, there is a print screen key on most 96%. I guess the one I was looking at doesn't have one, or I can't seem to find it.

Going with this. 96% honestly looks neat and I'd like more space on my desktop but I can't seem to find one that has both a volume knob and the print screen key intact (while staying in budget). They seem to only have one or the other.
>>108602492isn't this just a 100% with a knob?
how many sets of keycaps do you own that aren't in a keyboard?
>>108601539All shit.>>108602492Just in case you forget where your caps lock key is CAPS.
I don't know If I'm just a pleb or anything but I typed on a generic $15 rgb gaming keyboard and then I tried out a proper mechanical keyboard and I had a 0% improvement in my typing experience, I just don't understand what is it you guys seek to achieve, all keyboards seem equally comfortable the moment your muscle memory catches up, not to mention this market is obsessed with incomplete keyboards making getting exactly what you want annoying
>>108602555Yeah. I need something with pass-through backlighting caps, a volume knob, and the print screen key, but can't find anything within my budget. The RK ROYAL KLUDGE R98 has both a volume knob and print screen key, but the key caps are opaque. I want light to pass through them so I can use the keyboard in the dark. I guess I could buy extra keycaps with this feature, but I can't find anything that officially supports 96% keyboards, and when I checked the reviews for other caps, some people said the caps don't all fit on certain keyboards. I'd need to do more research.>>108602619Can you recommend anything under $100 that's 96%, has passthrough backlit keys, a volume knob, a print screen key, and with silent (or sound-dampened) linear switches?
>>108602751the product is extremely modular. Any caps you get are gonna fit most switches, any switches you get are gonna fit most generalist boards you get (magnetic are a bit diff). Just get a board you like the look of, and get some keycaps that do what you want if that board doesn't come with them.

Mental health is inversely correlated with the number of keys on your keybeard.
Choose one:A) RK ROYAL KLUDGE R98 Pro (Black)B) Corsair K70 CORE (Grey)B seems like a safer, reliable bet, and a good entry point into mechanical keyboards. Common layout/size, probably better compatibility with linux because it's from Corsair. There's an open-source driver/app for linux. Ultimate compatibility/versatility/stability/reliability. Size matters.Low risk, High reward.If A worked perfectly out of the box for my use case it would be a massive win because the size/layout is pure kino (In theory), but needs new keycaps for passthrough backlighting, and the uncommon layout/size might cause compatibility issues for certain keycaps (according to amazon reviews and people that have had to return their keycaps because they didn't fit). There have been some complaints about compatibility issues on linux. But it would give me room to use my mouse more efficiently in high octane battles while playing Overwatch. (I don't play Overwatch.) Cutting edge/rolling release/danger zone/reckless driving. Size doesn't matter.High risk, Higher reward.
>>108603817>non-standard layouthhhhh why is Joe's F122 repro the only good choice for battleships>>108603404Easy. Unicomp is using worn-out Lexmark molds so the key fitting is ass, the general plastic quality is ass.If you're willing to spend more, do any and all OOTB maintenance yourself, as well as deal with Joe in case something goes truly wrong, the Model F104 repro is a better choice. Fresh molds, better quality materials, metal case, programmable controller, and the Model F mechanism with it's native NKRO.

I didn't realize linear switches registered key presses before you fully press them. I have to type hard, deliberate, and fast for it to feel right. If I'm slow, sometimes I end up typing that letter before I've fully committed to the key press. In games, there were a couple of times I strafed by accident or in the wrong direction because I was already pre-pressing the next direction like I do on membranes. It feels like I have to fully commit to every key press individually from now on. And no resting my fingers on the keys anymore or being sloppy with my finger transitions (where I end up gliding over the adjacent key to get to another one). I think it might be just having to get used to this new type of keyboard (coming from membrane), but it definitely feels different. Pressing keys feels really great, I don't know if I can ever go back to membranes. Would brown switches help reduce my errors/accidental presses?Also, how do you guys type in the dark? I'm surprised how well I can type without looking now, but what is the point of having all this fancy RGB lighting if it doesn't actually illuminate the keys? It's kind of distracting too so I had to turn it off or use a single stationary color.

As I thought. 96% looks great on paper, but my full-size muscle memory is messing up my keystrokes. And I wonder if it's a good idea to retrain this muscle memory on a nonstandard size...

I've got Gateron KS-9 Yellow Pros (or G Pro Yellow V1???) in one of my keebsShould I upgrade the switchs to G Pro Yellow 3.0s? They can't be THAT different right?
I love my Halo75
Take out all your stabilisers right now! >;} The only annoying thing sometimes is no top layer tilde, but I don't use Linux anymore so who cares.
What's the best tactile switch I can buy on Aliexpress

I meant no Fn keys, not F keys.let me rephrase that: no key that does two different things depending if the task/media/fn key is depressed. i do in fact want F1-F12 at the very least. i want my arrow keys where they should be and all my middle column of Print, ScrollLock, Break, Delete, Insert, PageUp/Down, Home/End. just no numpad, thats all.if there is multimedia/xf86 functionality in the kb it should be on dedicated keys, not toggled with a different key.
>>108605844name one (1) actually good game that requires a numpad
>>108607305>>108607865Typing in the dark is why I got these keycaps. Amazon shine through but black on white so they are easily visible in daylight as well.
Which mechanical keyboard/s is the absolute lightest weight? Anything carbon fiber etc? Are any keycaps / switches really light?
>>108608308Float65 lol
Are keychrons decent keyboards? I just need a new keyboard to replace my old HP one I was thinking the V6 MaxIf it's good enough I'll buy, if it's great I'll be excited to buy and if it's shit then maybe I won't buy

>>108607305>he can't touch type
>>108608588With the firmware updated to prevent double inputs yes they are passable and cheap outside of the Q series.
>>108608588I can't recommend them, they all shit the bed eventually.>>108608705That helps for a short while, but now my V6 Max has half the keys fail to register an input multiple times in a row. Their response to several other people having these kinds of issues was>lol uhhh the plate is probably slightly bent bro fix it yourself or something idk lolololMind you, if the plate was bent enough for the contacts to be fucked across the whole board the stabilizers would almost certainly be sluggish/sticking.They're simply just made like trash, which is a real shame. Might as well get any other chinesium board for half the price or less.

>>108607110it's got a real steep angle to it
Corsair or Keychron, which a is a better base to start from?
>>108609419corsair is dog shit tierkeychron is a low mid tier
>>108610148now only consider keyboards with a price under $150
Alternatives to Moondrop Tessence switches? I like how they feel and sound, but they break easily and start double inputting or not registering inputs at all.
>>108610421just sample other switchesdon't be a wussyou have to feel it
>>108610393when you say base do you mean barebones under $150? also what layout
>>108610472>barebones under $150 (if it includes keys/switches that's fine too)>hot swappable
>>108610573just get a classic tkl
>>108610631what benefit does it have over a $50 keychron that comes with switches and keys?
>>108608929So any suggestions for any alternative brands who are more reliable?I only want to spend $150-160 AUD
>>108610668Actually how is Akko?I just want something reliable
it's time to man up and admit itmechanical keyboards are SOLVEDGeon's O-ring gasket mount is flawlessGeon's top mount is flawlessget a Geon, others cannot compare
Wait, if I start getting double tapping on my keychron could I just re-solder it to fix it?
>>108610664it's not a piece of shit and you won't be crying about keys double pressing after a week like people regularly bitch about but you will need to buy stabs and lube for the classic tkl because it's a custom, not barebones
