Which is better for ergonomics?
>TKL or smaller where mouse is closer to a neutral position
>"ergonomic" keyboard with huge space in the middle, but mouse is farther out since it's as larger or larger than a regular 100%

Aviator cables resemble anal beads. That's the appeal. A keyboard with an aviator cable is a stud.

Looking to finally get something that's not gamer shit. Would prefer a DIY kit since it sounds like it would be a fun project.

>Budget
$300 with some wiggle room for a really cool board
>Location (continent at least)
USA
>Preferred switch type
I have tactiles right now but I think I want to switch to linear. My plan is to just watch a million sound test videos and just pick which one sounds the best to me.
>Layout
ANSI
>Form Factor
75% though I could entertain a TKL board as well
>Backlight
I like RGB because I'm a gamer retard and I also have some shine-through side printed keycaps that I might want to use.
>Previous/current keyboards

thinking of building a tenkeyless either evo80 or geon's frog what do you recommend? I like the look of the frog better i think
>>
>>108749182
neo75 (not cu) is the easy goto recommendation for 75%. I know it has a trimode option but I don't think it has rgb

>>108749489
evo80 is a prebuilt and geon boards are bought piecemeal. they don't come with the plate or pcb or anything and it all adds up pretty quick. frog tkl is a good option if you want HE with a venom pcb though. probably the least shit way to get an in stock HE right now in terms of quality
>>
>>108749519
>evo80 is a prebuilt and geon boards are bought piecemeal. they don't come with the plate or pcb or anything and it all adds up pretty quick
I should have been more specific my bad I was only interested in the differences of the two cases.
>HE switches
never tried them are they any good? I was planning on using linear switches for the build
>>
>>108749530
>I should have been more specific my bad I was only interested in the differences of the two cases.
then it's whatever you prefer. the geon board is going to end up being a lot more expensive though.

>never tried them are they any good?
they are kind of a meme because software can't really currently take advantage of the analog inputs so everything has to be done from the firmware side of the keyboard. they sound more deep and a little hollow compared to regular switches because of the diameter of the stem and the spring and everything is bigger to fit the magnet

if you only wanted linear then yeah, you'd be right at home with them
>>
Best linear switches with 45-55 gf operating force?

Thoughts on the Cherry G84-4100 (original beige, not the new black one)? I've read ML blacks are shit, but just how shit are they? My only frame of reference is old MX browns, and shitty membrane keyboards.
>>

Even worse than MX browns, which is an achievement.

What are the best 100% keyboards anyway in this sea of 75% keyboards that always get posted.

idk I gave up trying to find a sane 100% and went for the F122 repro. I guess you could get an F104 if you want something more standard, and it won't get any saner than a Model F in a Model M form factor.
>inb4 no Win key legends
>inb4 no Menu key
You can modify the layout for a shorter spacebar and an extra key, as well as get either Unicomp Win keycaps or Unix style diamond keycaps.
>>
>>108749672
I have one and it's sitting in a box somewhere. Scratchy shit. Hit a key off centre and it becomes even scratchier shit.
>>
>>108749670
clacky or thoccy?
they all suck
just get MX Blacks and spring swap them
>>
>>108749989
doesn't exist
they all suck compared to 80%
>>
>>108750009
Oh I meant for regular mechanical switches. I do have a unicomp model m though.
