Rebooting a general, I'd like to know more about HP's retro line of workstation keyboards, C1405A or C1405B, I like their design a lot but don't know how it feels to type with.

Average price on ebay is about 110, shipping included but they aren't in good condition, is there a modern equivalent of it?
Julian Evans
What do you mean? Rubberdome keyboards? Yes, there are some, if you look hard enough.
Colourwise, SP Lily is pretty close, but that shit is rare.
Aiden Gutierrez
This is the Ferrari Testarossa of keyboards
Jace Green
Just out of curosity what is the cheapest mechanical keyboard you can find?
The cheapist that I found was an OEM keyboard for police crusiers that had cherry mx black switches and was under 30 bucks.
Jeremiah Taylor
Kind of a newfag here. Bought a Ducky One a few months ago and really enjoy it. If I want to replace it's keycaps, will any do as long as they have a Cherry MX designation? If so, is there a best online retailer for aftermarket keycaps?
Michael Wood
That is one dank looking keyboard
Landon Smith
Do the black HHKBs show fingerprint oil on the caps?
Owen Williams
Looks like the C1405A is membrane. Dank in appearance but trash ultimately
Luis Barnes
I found a tenkeyless tesoro keyboard with kailh blues for 15£ not too long ago

ordered and excited

What's the fucking point of mechanicals. A $15 membrane keyboard does the exact same thing and it doesn't sound like a fucking assault rifle. Fuck you fags.
Jack Nelson
should i get a fullsized keyboard

Gateron blacks are so nice.

If you use the numpad, yes.
Otherwise, not much point.
Thomas Parker
Any happen to have bought one of these PBT Topre spacebars? Just wondering if the quality is shit or not.

They're made of PBT and functional. But the quality is very mediocre compared to the ones Massdrop has.
I planned to use them on a new board but I quickly switched it back to the stock ABS spacebar because it both fits and feels better. I'll just wait until we see the good quality one drop again.
Justin Mitchell
Thanks, I'm just going to hold off then and wait for Massdrop.
Nicholas Myers
Can someone post the cherry mx chart, please.
I don't know if I should pick Red/Browns.
Andrew Baker
Red if you want light keys for gaming
Browns are mush, get clears or zealios
Nolan Miller
Ignore that chart garbage. Go black or go home.
Jaxson Reed
You should go gateron
Thomas Flores
Here you go.
Browns are an ok starter switch for those who can't choose between the clicky and linear camps, but ultimately they're very mediocre.
Reds are more specialized and better at what they try to be, but some can't cope with the complete lack of tactile feedback.
Thomas Ward
Most keycaps will show oil. Unless you keep your hands clean.

Basically, the point of that chart is that you should be getting buckling springs.

Is KB Paradise a decent brand?
Aaron Lopez
Yes, very. Products aren't great, but mostly cheap and thus worth the money.
Kayden Foster
Cool, they're 15% off at mechanicalkeyboards.com. Guess I'll go with that then. Now to pick a switch.
Joshua Barnes
is there a coupon or something for that?
Chase Carter
Why do people pay $120 for fucking ABS?
Jace Carter
The answer is gateron black. I just ordered a v60 mini yesterday lol

Jose Young
What's the difference between gateron black and yellow?
Colton Martin
Made a comparison chart that also summarizes the whole debate about whether or not Topre switches belong in a mechanical keyboard thread.
Brody Mitchell
Topre aren't consistent over time though. They stiffen considerably after a few years.
Andrew Cook
I was thinking about cherry clears but I'm not sure if my fingers would get tired with them.
Jordan Brown
thanks a lot man
Liam Fisher
I have a blue board and want to try out linears as I don't need tactiles (and all the other tactile, non clicky switches seem to be not to my liking) all the time.
Can't decide between reds and black though.
Reds might be too light but they are more common while blacks could be too stiff and they are more rare.
Any advise?
Caleb Clark
no they don't
did you read a single forum post saying they do, get all excited that you have another thing to whine about the topre 'meme', then rush over here to shit post about it?
Levi Rodriguez
What's a realistic price point for the IBM Model M?
Caleb Baker
well that depends on what you can find
like $30-70 for dirty used ones, probably with broken rivets
Nathaniel Cooper
That's the absolute best.
Juan Barnes
Sure, the people measuring theirs at ~70g after 4 years are lying
Jonathan Thompson
whats the point of a tkl keyboard
does anyone ever use the numlock/scroll lock, pause/break, print screen, insert, delete, home. end, pg up, pg down
Juan Turner
yeah sure buddy
find me some shitty korean forum posts claiming that
go ahead, please
Colton Lewis
Anyone know other places I can buy this keyboardco.com
Nicholas Cox
amazon?
US amazon sells them with red
Justin Flores
Yes. You probably grew up with a phone/tablet/laptop keyboard so you wouldn't know.
Jonathan Brown
I'm in the UK so it will be more expensive if I was to order it from there
Jace Flores
i mean amazon.co.uk
US amazon wouldn't have ISO boards anyway
Henry Cox
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, oh fuck yea, ride it like a bronco
Bentley Perry
I've been using ISO keyboards for as long as 16 winters, would it be benefical to move to ANSI or to stay as I am?
Lincoln Gutierrez
I'm trying to find a a blank compact mechanical keyboard, hopefully without any function keys.
I tried looking about last night for something nice with blank keycaps but all i could find were the keyboards with function keys.
Am i going to have to buy blank keycaps or is there some website that does small mechanical keyboards with blank caps that i've not found yet?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Brandon Stewart
Sure, i don't see a reason to use UK ISO anyway
special characters like £ and € are usable in US-INTL
Im using ISO now just for fun and it's not difficult to go back to either for me, but the larger left shift and wider enter key are nicer to use
Ryan Turner
Stick with ISO, it's been scientifically proven that it's more ergonomic than ANSI. Just google it.
Samuel Adams
Buy what a KBP V60 with gaterons and use this coupon code.
Then get some of these, or find cheaper ones.
banggood.com
Brayden Nguyen
I was figuring i had to buy the caps separate.
Do all of the V60's have red back light?
Nicholas Foster
really? I can't seem to find it
Dylan Foster
>yrw you just spent $60 on a spacebar
Noah Thompson
I'm embarrassed for you.
Logan Roberts
Made my keyboard 50% more expensive.
Camden Wilson
Some do, some don't.
mechanicalkeyboards.com
Dylan Kelly
It doesn't even look good. It looks like something a little kid made in art class, and then some chink stuck an ugly logo on it.
And you payed $60 for it.
Ryder Scott
I think it would look better in a DSA profile cap set or on a bulkier keyboard like an HHKB.
Just wait till I post that freaky looking C3PO keycap from massdrop.
Christopher Gray
I could have gotten it without the logo but then how will people know it's special? It's really smooth and shiny, probably a heat treated epoxy like polymer. They said the entire process takes like 36 hours and none of it is automated.
Thomas Wright
Okay sweet, I'm liking the olivette with the brown keys at the moment, there aren't any with a white base through which sorta sucks but white and grey will probably look nice anyway.
Thanks for the help, user
Eli Ward
Are the Cherry ML keyboards good?
I'm gonna buy one of these for when I'm in the navy for the sweet sweet size
Isaac Cruz
At least wipe your dandruff off of it.
Landon Perez
same but for VE.A =[

Got this to complement my poker ii. Just 30$ in pooinloo country. Confirmed the switches are Cherry MX blue original. Really really nice for the price. May get 2-3 more. Sorry about the poor quality cam. My main phone ran out of juice.
Hudson Martin
that enter key almost as big as topre users' ego
Henry Ortiz
>big ass enter key
>tiny backspace
for what purpose, is someone really that uncoordinated that they can't hit enter without it being half the size of the keyboard. And why the fuck is the backspace just a single key. WHY DOES THIS LAYOUT EXIST???
Nathan Howard
Because Panjeet engineering. Essentially they keyboards have been selling for decades and they didn't bother to change the layout while revamping it with the Cherry switches.
Juan Jenkins
is varmilo a good brand
Ian Fisher
Think there may be anything decent available for prime day?
Blake Hughes
yeah
Jeremiah Ward
i might just buy a fullsized keyboard just cause it looks nicer
