Its not that hard user and there are plenty of videos teaching you how to solder

1) Learn how to solder.
2) ????
3) Profit!

soldering everything is the hardest part.

What makes it the hardest part?
Jaxson Kelly
everything else is just legos user

Not but how do you get the awesome parts in the OP's picture? I want exactly that board. It would fit my theme perfectly. I've never seen a board with leds in the case like that, and the blue sheet ontop of the case looks amazing too.
god i love that thing so much
Hunter Bennett
Not this guy but for this guy and me ()

Brandon James
nice trips. Just buy a keyboard kit like pic related, which is a RS 68
Henry Martin
I am interested in custom keyboards for their layout.
If I want a generic small keyboard I always have my HHKB JP with its mislabeled keycaps.
Robert Morales
that keyboard in the OP is just a modified Leopold
Austin Price
Been lurking a while and I've decided on getting a filco ninja majestouch-2 tkl
However I'm still undecided between red or brown switches. Are browns detrimental when gaming?
Hudson Myers
is it cheaper to build my own or buy an already built one?
Grayson Bennett
I have a Topre but don't have an issue with the tactile bump.
If you're trying to double or triple tap linear *might* be better but imo it's unimportant.
I have a brown switch next to me and it's kind of gritty but when gaming I wouldn't notice it.
Probably more expensive to build one
amazon.com
Now, Sup Forums, teach me how to build one.
Lincoln Clark
buying a prebuilt one is much cheaper

Ordering one. This is going to be my third $100+ keyboard. What the fuck am I doing

Losing control of your life.
Jack Campbell

What will the keycaps be?
Jaxson Adams
>Now, Sup Forums, teach me how to build one.
you can buy keyboard kits and assemble the thing your self like pic related.
If you want however you can buy the parts individually like a gh60 PCB and plate, then use whatever cherry style switches you want and build a custom case for the whole thing.
Or you can build an HHKB with alps switches instead:

Charles Cruz
Haven't decided. I want white caps with blue print and blue modifiers.
Nicholas James
Where do you buy the parts for that linked keyboard?
I like that layout.
>Or you can build an HHKB with alps switches instead
I like the soft bottoming out of my HHKB that can't be matched with o-rings.
Leo Cox
threadly reminder that the best keyboard ever made uses rubber dome.
Jose Fisher
that keyboard is a Duck Lightsaver v2
Michael Scott
why does that keyboard have so little keys
Jacob Gonzalez

Any place to buy the kit apart from groupbuys?
Camden Bailey
they literally have the same number of keys. you can't tell just by looking at them? I feel sorry for small-minders.
>no on-board macro/remapping abilities
smdh nigga
Nolan Miller
Pretty much every custom keyboard is sold in group buys. Some drop more often then others, but if you want to keep track then bookmark massdrop and geekhack's list of ongoing group buys
Alexander Harris
>they literally have the same number of keys. you can't tell just by looking at them? I feel sorry for small-minders.
It actually has one more key and that was the joke
Josiah Hughes
both have 124 keys. you can't tell just by looking at them? I feel sorry for you.
John Gray
>alps switches
Disgusting.
Aaron James
no it has 125 keys

John Clark
Elijah James
use your small-mindey multiplication table tricks and count, since you can't tell in under a second from simple observation that you're looking at a 124 key keyboard.
Evan Morales

James Morgan
>Pretty much every custom keyboard is sold in group buys.
Didn't know that as I haven't been looking to buy a new board for a few years.
I'll look at Massdrop but I should get a geekhack account.
I really don't like logging into forums :(
Jayden Flores
I messed up the joke. The ANSI one has 125 keys
I really need to rename these images
Joseph Martin
you don't need to login just bookmark this page and click on the group buy that interests you and fill out the google forum , or go to the special website they made

Kayden Ramirez
Trying to decide between a Poker 3 or Tada68, any suggestions?
Levi Diaz
If only for the dedicated arrow keys, get the tada.
Ayden White
>massdrop.com
Fucking magnets
Kevin Roberts
Whoa that's an interesting keyboard
Henry Lee
I've got a infinity keyboard.
I'm kind of use to hhkb arrows setup, plus I've got special arrow key layer on right shft, alt, win, crtl, if I'm feeling lazy.
I feel like getting another board that has dedicated arrow keys like the rs68/whitefox/tada. I also already have a phantom tkl as well so it's absolutely unnecessary.
call me a nigger and make me feel ashamed of my vapid materialism.
Nolan Anderson
>Hall effect keyboards that aren't Honeywell/Space Cadet/Symbolics/etc
Slap a Symbiosis set and you're ready to go retro
Ethan Hernandez
What a week.
Christian Butler
I would probably buy this but my research so far has not provided a very conclusive answer as to whether or not it can be easily made to work with modern PCs.
Jack Walker
how much worse can that keyboard get
Logan Parker
Well, it says it has been tested in the listing...I don't know how I missed that. But I don't know what their testing entails, and whether or not it is mechanical.
Jeremiah Reyes
>not liking American flag reflections on each key
What's wrong with black? Also I've got granite Tai Hao Doubleshot PBTs comine bruh.
Henry Cook

get out
Chase Wilson
it's too bad they didn't go with full sculpted
Jackson Scott
lollllllllllllllll go sell some more shit son
These are Tai Hoe doubleshots. Stock caps would had proper modifier legends.
Those look like shite.
Zachary Myers
what?
tai-hao are turboshit
Brayden Lopez
>These are Tai Hoe doubleshots. Stock caps would had proper modifier legends.
Actually they are a custom set from SP made for Filco.
All R3 though I believe.
Grayson Edwards
except the top two rows
Nathan Collins
Once you wake up user, mind telling me what keyboard and where'd you get your keycaps? Also nice DOOM album man.
Hunter Powell
>costar stabilizers
Not sure why you fanboy that.
Gabriel Gonzalez
I was referring to my caps, which you were commenting on. Not your caps, which I was commenting on.
Who mentioned stabilizers?
Also
>who gives a crap about stabilizers?
Jason White
Possibly because they're not scratchy and don't bind up like cherry stabs.
Alexander Myers
They brake ridiculously easy.
Leo Lee
They don't even have brakes, silly goose.
Nolan Watson
My keyboard doesn't have any brakes. Was that an option I forgot to request?
It has never broken either, despite heavy daily use. I don't have six keyboards like some folks, this one gets all my use. So if they break (I assume that's what you meant) easily, I would assume mine would have. But nothing on it ever has. So I must conclude that you're full of shit.
Alexander Foster
I have some legit cherry ones on my Compact SQ, they have been an absolute clusterfuck.
Gabriel Torres
The spacebar is what I've broken on 3 different costar stabilizer keyboards. For games where you spam the spacebar they can't handle it.
Jordan Hughes
>use filco majestouch for years
>its great and all
>spill an entire coke into it
>take it apart and clean it meticulously
>be using logitech k120 in the mean time
>never bother to go back to the filco
shit hurts my hands like toblerone in retrospect
Owen Thompson
You must rage pretty hard, I play FPSs A LOT, every day, many hours, and I've never broken it.
Maybe take it easy on the Mountain Dew?
Elijah Evans
I don't rage on my my keyboards. Costar stabilizers just can't handle gaming use. I don't own a Razer keyboard but they have issues with them that you can look up. I remember them popping up in my searches for what was causing the issue awhile back.
The cherry stabilizers have been good for me. Been using them for years.
Justin Gray
What breaks on them, exactly?
Leo Brooks
The plastic bit on the key that holds the bar.
Colton Morales
Never had one of those break no matter how much I mash the spacebar in any game.
I'd probably still use them if they did break after a while. They'd be trivial to replace and they're that much nicer to use than Cherry stabilizers.
Mason Foster
What is the loudest switch? There's no point owning a mech unless everyone knows I do
Jace Gonzalez
IBM beamspring with solenoid enabled.
Nathan Price
Bucking springs.
Ryan Wright
Hey guys, i have been looking for a mkb for a while now.
There is some guy selling a CM quickfire rapid for 50€ near me, is this worth it? Or will I regret being cheap and end up buying a more expensive one in the near future?
Cameron Richardson
bumpo
Juan Flores
Why are those keyboards making me genuinely angry?
Caleb Kelly
You might be on the spectrum, buddy.
Jordan Bell
It's a Noppoo choc mini and the keycaps are from ukkeycaps
Thanks.
Bentley Wood
Meant to tag you
Xavier Reed
you will end up buying multiple expensive ones dont worry
Nicholas Gonzalez
Where can I sell my poker 2? Mx blue and no backlight. I'm in europe btw.
I want to buy a tada so bad
Jaxon Smith
Put it up for sale on deskthority or something.
Luke Flores
Anybody have experience with GON keyboards? gonskeyboardworks.com
My search for an aluminum cased number pad has led me to them, seems pricey.
Lucas Edwards
>leds everywhere
Looks pretty ricer.
Matthew Collins
Yeah I'm not into that LED junk, they're optional and configurable at least.

not a waste, CM keyboards are generally considered high quality. if you are looking for a normal good quality mkg you should go for it.
if you want to pimp it, there is a group buy going on for a custom aluminium case right now. shop.norbauer.com
Adrian Robinson
>Bought Planck with Maitas switches
>Now if only I could find a nice labeled ALPS keyset to replace the blanks
Aiden Robinson
It seems like imsto showed back up at least. Would still be a little paranoid regardless.
Not to mention ivan running off with the money for the round of PBT caps.
