>Knee Socks edition
Remind me, why did I stop visiting GH as often, and began visiting mkg more often?

*non tramp stamp version

in the previous thread someone posted this.
now i'm hoping that someone could direct me to a place where i could by those shoes, primarily Topre, cherry crown and alps.

Fuck all of you.
Click clack my fucking ass, click clack click clack click clack. Top kek xDDDDDDDD

Go lube your stabs with my cum.

Do they make alps 60% keyboards?

At least we enjoy ourselves and our sad lifes, unlike you.

Don't ever respond to another one of my posts again

consider the following:

amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A45WK4U

Okay.

Wait.

What software can I use to change the function of some keys? Not having the 'win' button in my model m is annoying and I also would like to add some 'functions' with some custom button combinations.

Use plan 9

>Okay.

>Wait.

You probably wouldn't get it

install gentoo

I'd rather deal with it than install gentoo again.

goddamnit why does it have to be so hard to find keycaps

even if you have a completely standard layout you'd still have to buy two full sets for a "custom" two-tone layout

$55 shipped for plain black keycaps, does include 1.75u shift
imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=112

enjoypbt, if i'm lucky a two-tone set with extras for like $60+

and i'd still have to modify the spacebar to fit my noppoo choc mini

isn't hhkb just the old macintosh layout?

how can i make this shit

xmodmap and xbindkeys

>Three shift keys
>Two dash keys

Ducky shine is the same price in europe

I wanted to buy a hhkb, but then I saw this and now I don't know what to choose.

mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1775

Which switch feels better?

Which goes best with a bodystocking?

>Which switch feels better?
That's subjective. I prefer Topre, but that isn't the same for everyone.

A helium exit bag.

The shift keys outside the last row are probably there just to avoid changing the original layout, I'd use a thumb shift key all the time if I had it.

K105 for dash makes sense, since - and = are a pain in the ass to reach, but the dash isn't uncommon. Better than a second \ on 105 (normal US layout)

I have the same color ones except different fabric.

>Better than a second \ on 105 (normal US layout)
ANSI has a 2.25 left shift.

I'm talking about the US layout with an ISO keyboard.

anyone know where i can find this keycap set in canada?

Hey Sup Forums im switching from a membrane keyboard to a mechanical one in little bit. I tried every kind of switch and i feel like I most comfortable with a blue mx cherry. Does any one have any good recommendation for a blue mx switch keyboards.

...

do you have midget hands?

>Small keyboards have smaller keys
Are you pretending to be retarded? I hope so.

nice keycaps shitty keyboard

Is it safe to assume that non-cherry switches are at least -kinda- the same as the color cherry they resemble?

No, no knee socks. Stop trying to do trap things from Sup Forums in here

>second \ on 105 (normal US layout)
jesus fuck what is up with amerilards and backslash, you have \ on a fucking 1.5x key where backspace is supposed to be

Mostly except Gat clears are lighter than cherry reds

for red, blue, brown, black yes

white/clears/others may be different

Will brown switches and O rings be quiet enough to use in an open office environment and not have coworkers hate me?

yes

That's not where backspace goes, that position is covered by the weird shaped enter key in an ISO keyboard.

Ducky Shine 5 is a pretty good keyboard. Got mine a couple days ago and it was worth every penny

most people say those feel like shit
if you have to get an alps clone you're best off getting the matias switches
i would just get the hhkb if i were you user
i dont like the feeling of plate mounted topre as much as case mounted so i prefer hhkb(only comes in 45g)
variable is trash never buy

Dangit, why am I even considering getting RGB? It just seems so needless. A solid backlit color is enough for me, so why?

That mouse is fucking ugly.

how good are ducky keycaps?

ansi is better, you don't need such a weird shaped enter key

what is the best alps switch?

Yours doesn't look much better.

it doesn't matter how ugly his mouse is
his is more ergonomic than yours

Where is that qt feminine penis under that keyboard?

>ergonomic
pff i hate that style of mouse, maybe if you have kiddie hands

Mine doesn't have "gold" trim and stealth technology on the side.
There's an ignore-able amount of molding flash and there's a few screwy legends. (B has a small speck in the corner than can easily be mistaken for dust, U is scratched a tiny bit, worst is F4) My first set had really fucked up legends so look out for that. There was also this weird coating out of the box that came off with some dish soap. Comes with a key puller. Other than that, it's a great, thick PBT keyset with a nice texture.

Haha you fags spend 300 dollars for topre keyboards

while this nigga made one out of lego for half as much

youtube.com/watch?v=SEEzQKJfNE0

>150 membrane keyboard with ABS caps

How to fix a squeaky key?

clean your board?

haha you're a fag most likely living off of welfare and unable to provide for a good keyboard
xD sick meme

that's cheating, make it out of 100% lego with lego mindstorms and it'd be mildly impressive

lube

>GAYMIN keyboard
>RGB is $119 USD for blue switches, 169 for brown or red
>regular red backlit version is 99 for blues, 109 for red and 79 for brown

I'm almost tempted to get that blue switch RGB. Almost. I feel like I'd like regular backlighting with browns more but if I can get something neat for a good price I almost want to take the chance for it.

just get a chinkboard instead

Any that have good brown switches?
Good anti-ghosting? Winlock function? Decent length cable?

What's winlock?

Windows key lock.
So if you press the windows key by accident it won't minimize the game you're playing.

Lock the wangblows key so the start menu doesn't pop up when you don't want it to. Linux users get an extra modifier.

I need some PBT side print black keys (would be amazing if the text was transparent, but that isn't a requirement).

I understand that Taobao may have this. Who should I order on Taobao through? I know Bhiner is shit tier now and charges a fuckload.

Pic related would be cool too.

I didn't buy that mouse they gave it to me after two G500 broke

Really content on getting a Gateway2000 Anykey keyboard tomorrow. Is there software still available for programmable keyboards this old?

>not writing your own software
it's like you're not even trying

Do I have to make my own PCB and shit?

no people sell pcb's you just have to solder nigga

Thinking about buying the Deck Francium, any thoughts? Also gonna buy a new keyset if i buy it.

Also open to other suggestions

>Budget
Less than $200AUD/~$150USD
>Location (continent at least)
Australia
>Preferred switch type
Cherry Blues or Greens
>Layout
ANSI (same as pic related)
>Form factor

>Backlight
None
>Previous/current keyboards
Currently own Corsair K95, kinda regretting the brown switches i got and the backlight.

Just ripped a trace off my board trying to get leftover solder out of a hole with shitty desoldering wick. I managed to solder the trace directly to the pin and taped down the trace with electrical tape and it works for now.

Finally ordering a desoldering pump fuck

is RealKey snake oil?

>shoes are technology
we can do this faggots

it's legit, people have tested keyboards with oscilloscopes n shit and there is often a significant amount of latency so it's not just placebo, and cherry is a serious company and they probably aren't bullshitting

youtube.com/watch?v=cLWUTOrifXk

I don't think they are lying, I just think it's like going from 144hz to 165hz

> (You)
>it's legit, people have tested keyboards with oscilloscopes n shit
is there a video/forum post I can look at? I've been looking for some benchmark and haven't found one.

Yeah was thinking of getting this as well. (Ausfag here). I already have caps to replace these hideous ones though.

Why shouldn't I buy a das keyboard 4 pro soft click?

What keycaps did you get and from where? been looking at pimp my keyboard but they seem to be out of stock with alot of the ones i like.

Very interesting articles, thanks for sharing. However is there a comparison or benchmark involving the XM Board 6.0?

What's eveyone thoughts on the HHKB 2 ?

A very expensive joke.

the jap version has those """"useless"""" arrow keys, hmm... :^)

what the fuck is going on?

btw, are there any eu stores that send stuff international? I was looking at wasd keyboards but the shipping itself will cost more than my monthly salary

it looks like you gon need more good boy points McNiggs

new to mechanical keyboards


i only had the chance to try out blue switches but i didn't really enjoyed the clicking sounds but enjoyed the feeling writing on it.

browns dont have this clicky sound but i read that if you bottom them out they still make a sound. Is it much louder than a usual keyboard? Also there are o-rings, do they make much of a difference?

don't get browns without trying them first, many people get disappointed with them

...

I don't like your socks, but that model m is in great condition.
