Mini Keyboard Edition

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%

And me stopping me stopped working with Vertex, okay?
It's not something that Vertex wanted, you fuckers, okay?
And Any vendor, any fucking vendor will love to have me in their roster because I create money.
I'm the fucking best at my work, okay?
There's no one that does this as good as me, okay?
You delulus.
Just so you know, I know you don't like to hear that, okay, but where I'm streaming now, okay, is the house that I paid, thanks to your money, okay?
Because I was able to buy a house thanks to the money , okay?
The money that you and things to you are paying, because most of you that are flaming me, are the ones that go online and said shitty things and shitty stuff, but then after that, keep buying myself stuff, but because my stuff is too good for you to not buy it.
You idiots.
You understand that?
Okay?
This is not.
I'm not streaming my parents' house or anything, okay?
You paid for this setup.
This camera that I'm doing this.
Hello .
Okay, this camera, you pay for it.
Okay.
Just so you know, okay, and there is no fucking vendor that will not want me. In the roster, as simple as that, I hear you have cock in your mouth.
That's because I'm teached by your mother, idiot.
You know, I just talk the same way that your mother does, you know?
So it's because of that.
Okay.

Feels good to actually do work that needs to be done.

in a word where grown men collect Jordans and wristwatches made in China
it is perfectly acceptable to collect German-origin keycaps.

salty bitches always come out of the woodwork when they see you support domestic German manufacturing
posts featuring 10 Chinee keyboards with colourful names go unsalted
it's all very obvious

Reposting from last thread: what's the current go-to for making a hotswap board? Is it still soldering sockets into normal PCBs, or should I be looking to get special hotswap-designed PCBs? For example for making a hotswap dactyl or charybdis.
I still have a set of Amoeba single-key PCBs from like 2019 and I could chuck in some kailh hotswap sockets but I wonder if there's anything better on the market these days.
>>
Bauer Lite or Eave65? Or is there anything even better?

Why don't more boards replace the escape key with a knob
>>
>>108800275
how would you escape then
>>
>>108800547
press the knob
>>
>>108800668
can't do that at work..
>>
>>108800684
have someone press it when no one's looking
maybe even slobber on it
like at home

Why don't more boards replace the caps lock key with two smaller keys: caps lock and maybe F13?

>>108803752
because /mkg/ will always tell you there are better keyboards

>>108799942

there is literally nothing wrong with mx browns

>>108803752
why don't you man up and spend a few hundred instead of getting excited by cheap prebuilts?
>>
fuck yeah I love Cherry
Cherry ONLY
it's important to keep saying that to fit in

haha yes I run dry Blacks or Browns on Alu only
no I don't like anything else, I dig that clacky nylon sound, it just slaps fr fr

is this good? im a yuropoor and it's really hard to find any of the keyboards people talk about online
>>
>>108806071
neo boards are decent, if you like that layout its better than other prebuilt shit like rainy75, bridge75. cant speak for the quality of the noname keycaps or switches, that seems to be a monacokeys bundle.
>>
>>108805512
absolutely
muh low ACKtuation
>>
>>108805512
For typing? Yes.
They make more sense for videogames with input sensitivity like racing games.

>London Fog V2 linear switches
does anyone know what these are? i only ever used browns
>>
>>108807333
linears are mostly the same. they’re going to be glorified reds. you will be able to hotswap them out if you don’t like them
>>
>>108805512
they have potential if games actually supported them but they have to rely on firmware for everything which can only do so much. it’s the same with innovations like gyro where almost no games support it except at least that has steam input to bridge the gap

What's the point of a split spacebar on a non-ergo keyboard?
>>
>>108809769
the best fn modifier imaginable
>>
>>108809769
press spacebar twice as fast
>>
rip diatec
>>
>>108809769
A different sound when you hit the spacebar. I always disliked how loud and clunky the spacebar felt, so a split spacebar improves that drastically.
>>
>>108798967
Anybody?
>>
>>108809769
it's a Euro thing
>>
>>108810812
with the right stabs and switches, your regular spacebar can also improve drastically
>>
>>108810881
you had your answer in the last thread
there's definitely something better in the market
>>
>>108811061
The only answer I remember was some unrelated prebuilt shitposting
>>
How do you carry your keyboards? I want to buy a small one I can plug into my tablet.
>>
>>108798277
what a cuck ass keyboard
>>
>>108811071
save up for something that works with Mechlovin' PCBs
don't bother making your own, just open up your wallet
get the best of the best.
>>
>>108811087
uhh get a thingy to carry it around uhh kinda like uhh a case you know
or uhh get a fanny pack if it's a real small keyboard
>>

What are these moon runes?
>>
>>108812012
NTA but they're normal letters with a piece taken out of each.
>>
Why do people think the answer is to have less buttons instead of more buttons? That makes no goddamn sense.
>>
>>108812012
It looks like standard qwerty except it's missing keys. They just took keys out. The numbers aren't even all the numbers. You can't even do it with this stupid thing.
>>
>>108811531
I wouldn't bother building my own if anybody was actually selling what I want. I've spent a while looking and I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist
>Mechlovin'
Sells row-stagger slop like everyone else
>>
>>108812105
they're lesbians who never used more than qwerty to type out "I am jewish" on their resume
>>
>>108812105
just normies being normies
>>
>>108813125
you'll never need more than qwerty on a nice TKL or a 65%
>>
nice nails bro
really digging the femme euro look
>>
>>108813176
I have a TKL myself
>>
>>108807765
I don't know who's a man anymore
>>
>>108809204
doesn't this cause bent pins?
>>
>>108813603
NTA but not really, and bent pins aren't a problem that you can't just easily solve with some tweezers anyway.
>>
>>108813603
Not even close.
