I'm sexually attracted to keyboards
why is gmk print so fucking ugly? who thought this looked good?
>>108740380Ah yes. I'm sure you would like some tasteful 2D child pornography instead.
nth for black & yellow.
>>108739773holy fuck!creamy thoccy bottom outs on chocolatier!

>>108740714thye literally use the same shit legend
>>108740395did you know me? because you are right on that one
Alice or HHKB layout bros
Is the Redragon K556 Devarajas just Technicolor "gamer" shit, or actually decent for a poor boy on a budget?
>>108741803Alicegotta have split space if you're going 60%
Anyone picked up the K2 HE from the lightning deal?
what cases are available in hhkb layout that fits a GH60 pcb? I know tofu60 2.0/3.0 will work, anything else anyone know?
>>108742298Just use tsangan layout and any 60% case.
MX Blacks with long pole polished stems and triple stage bouncy springs
>>108740340these bulky funny looking connectors... dont they scratch up the table every time you want to move the keyboard around? this is a rhetoric question btw so dont bother answering. never understood the appeal, they dont even look aesthetically pleasing.
>>108743146>anon pretends he doesn't know what aviator cables are
>>108743157NTA: I'd like to pretend I'm not getting a piddling little 3ft cable, when I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a keyboard.
>>108743157you completely avoided the main point of my post, the scratching up the table. gz
>>108743146Aviator cables resemble anal beads. That's the appeal. A keyboard with an aviator cable is a stud.
>>108741093As your handler, of course I am familiar with your daily routine.You gotta poop more than once a week, man. Just sayin.
>>108701724This is so neat.
what should I put on my new layer?
>>108743823
>>108743833Please get married and have children
>>108743823What is this keyboard? It's super cool
>>108741837If the product photos show off the RGB it's gamer shit.
>>108743833Window Manager layer.
>>108744146Have to buy it from eBay or StockX now. Other alternatives are the DSPixel Pro or Flux keyboards, but the latter really isn't design for gaming or ergonomics.
>>108743280literal non-issue
I hadn't thought about it before, but the cheap corner office desk I have was cheaper than the board I use on it.
>evo80 has 7 extra keys (print, scroll lock, pause, insert, end, r super, r control) compared to the evo75>is only 1.3" wider>is the same price>seems to come with extra stuff like foamwhy shouldn't i get the evo80?
>>108744452my desk costs $800 my keyboard costs $80
>>108744837it should be the other way around
>>108744821why shouldn't you?no one's telling you to get that neutered 75% POSget the Evo80, fuck yeah
>>108744821whats the button do?

>>108748218my compliments to the chefI must say, the Baions were done really well this time
For those of you that have the 60HE v2, did you end up going with split/non-split space bar? Thoughts?
>>108748682I can't do 60% without a split spacebar
>>108749045What do you use the spaceussy button for?
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 typeI 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.>LayoutANSI>Form Factor75% though I could entertain a TKL board as well>BacklightI 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 keyboardsA piece of shit Corsair fullsize gayming board with MX brownsI would also like the option for wireless. Appreciate any recs

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
>>108749182neo75 (not cu) is the easy goto recommendation for 75%. I know it has a trimode option but I don't think it has rgb>>108749489evo80 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 quickI should have been more specific my bad I was only interested in the differences of the two cases.>HE switchesnever 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 magnetif 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.
>>108749672>cherry MLEven 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.
>>108749989idk 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 keyYou 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.
>>108749672I have one and it's sitting in a box somewhere. Scratchy shit. Hit a key off centre and it becomes even scratchier shit.
>>108749670clacky or thoccy?they all suckjust get MX Blacks and spring swap them
>>108749989doesn't existthey all suck compared to 80%
>>108750009Oh I meant for regular mechanical switches. I do have a unicomp model m though.
