First for gay

>tfw no dark purple PBT keycaps

I'm gonna order a custom keyset soon. I'd like some black and green stuff.

...

thekey.company/collections/frontpage/products/gmk-terminal_

Already got a page to order. Need ISO layout anyways.

Looking to get into getting my first mechanical keyboard;

Budget: < $200
Location: Australia
Switch: Reds
Layout: ANSI
Size: Full keyboard with numpad and function keys
Backlights: Get fucked

Any advice?

I don't know how easily you can get a hold of them in Australia but have a look at Leopold

>159 dollars
Are they still using ABS?

Ducky One has a bunch of switch options and can be had without backlight.

>GMK

Yes.

No leopolds around I'm afraid

I'll have a geeze

>not mechanical

Looking for a keyboard to use while i am chilling on the couch, it should have a touchpad or ball for mouse use. any ideas?

Cherry g80 11800 for mx brown or 11900 for mx black. They are light and cheap

I am wanting to get some black keycaps with white printing for my unicomp ultra classic.
Would someone be kind enough to point me to the proper store?

Ive got a Leopold and I'm in Oz

dinovo edge if you can get one for cheap.

...

I was searching for acid purple ones, i might dye them myself with polymer dye

Is that one of the AliExpress keycap sets? more pics please

>Budget
Around 150€
>Location (continent at least)
Spain
>Preferred switch type
MX Blue
>Layout
ISO
>Form factor
TKL
>Backlight
Don't care.
>Previous/current keyboards
Used for a while a BenQ keyboard with Acer switches. Better than any membrane I ever used, but looking for something more clicky.

Both the Filco Majestouch 2 and WASD Keyboard's v2, in the configuration I want, seem both to fit my criteria, but I can't find stock of the first one in that particular configuration and WASD's shipping to Europe makes it expensive. What are my alternatives?

hello comrade

What can I buy this? Even better if with blanks

Nice link you have there aliexpress, so fucking glorius links

The dye is actually a pretty cool idea, I might do that.

Where i can buy a keyboard like that?

You can delete everything after the .html and it still works.

I thought it was one I haven't seen at first. The shade of pink and blue is slightly different in your photo, which is why I had to ask. It looks nicer.

Literally any 60% keyboard. Build a GH60, maybe.

its anne pro from banggood, just warning you the come with defective battery, mine was, theres also rk61 cheaper than anne pro but without bluetooth

thx based user

the original miami keyset has some neonish color this one not

This the exact one you bought? The colours do look different

why the fuck would they use anything else

I can confirm, I bought the Miami keycaps off Ali and they're more Easter inspired. So lighter and more pastel

Because ABS is garbage and in every way worse than PBT

Why do people pay over a hundred dollars for ABS keycaps in current year

Because GMK caps are about the highest quality ABS caps out there. They use the same tooling as the original cherry doubleshots after all.

GMK carbon was well under 100 bucks tho. It was like 80 with shipping

high quality abs still gets slippery in no time

It'd take a year or 2/3 years, depending on use, but sure.

Aside from GMK there's no sculpted PBT equivalent for SA profile just yet. Until these become available that is:

deskthority.net/workshop-f7/hi-profile-pbt-dye-sub-the-time-has-come-t10805.html

My GH60 PCB came in!

*sorry for bad pic quality, just doing this real fast like

welp... orange """PBT""" key caps from chink man finally arrived. not sure how i feel desu. the first thing, I dont think this is pbt at all? cause it doesn't feel thicker than my white ones which are double shot abs from chinkman also. and the bleed through at the top face is horrendous! fortunately its only at the top but regardless i was gonna paint the walls white anyway so the legends wont glow orange.
And yes, this is at max brightness but still, as you can see the white ones has no bleed through at all. So i dont think this is pbt or can pbt be this thin? cause the only thing comparable tot he bleed through is my meme down arrow cap before i used white out inside it to control the bleeding.

the orange is pretty nice, pastel and matches the white keys really nice

so now im kinda torn if i should put in the effort in painting the orange key caps white inside, if its worth the effort or just stick with whites

...

here are higher quality pictures

Doesn't look too bad at all. Got a link?

Fucking faggot
I love you

Will lube fix scratchy browns? What lube do you use?

Thanks :3

They are Ducky keycaps, check their website they only have a few front printed caps

s-so did mine, user!

Gaterons will fix scratchy browns

Looking for a second keyboard, as I'm getting RSI on my work keyboard, but the shopping selection in New Zealand is pretty bad.

Have a Filco TKL (Browns), looking at either a Ducky One TKL, or, CM Masterkeys Pro S.
Is there anything to be way of with either of these boards?

Have no experience with either and can't get my hands on a demo unit either.

Not spending the money; am poor. I already have the browns.

The Ducky One TKL is a good board, but maybe consider a Leopold too?

just got a drevo gramr 84 keys.

its my first mechanical keyboard and holy shit its amazing for 40 bucks. never going back to membranes.

I'm limited to what is stocked in NZ.. I hate this country sometimes..
Can I record macro's to the Fn + [key] modifier.

i.e.
> I press [Fn] + [p] -> output Vol. Up
> I press [p] -> output 'p'

or, can I only map the individual keys to a macro, with no [Fn] modifier functionality.

Maybe look into importing a keyboard from China. Or build a GH60 if you're okay with 60%.

How autistic would I have to be if I wanted to buy an HHKB and replace the internals with Plum 84's 35g rubbers and sliders?

wew

>intentionally making a HHKB worse

I thought we just bought it for the meme. I'm enjoying the Plum but it looks ugly.

>pimpmykeyboard.com/g20-semiotic-keycap-set/
What the fuck is this shit?

Please give me some hope, i bought an Ajazz AK33 for my gf and now she's not using it beacuse she needs at least the italian simbols àèìòù and don't want to learn to use them without watching, should i buy laptop stickers or there are some keysets out there that can fit this stupid chinese keyboard? I'm searching since december help

>new zealand
shame

hlep

ops i mean

Was able to get rid of majority of the bleed through w/ white out, but the orange tint of the lettering I cannot. I think the actual plastic that's translucent has a tint of orange too. Also used white out on the walls inside...

should I just stick to white caps lads?
If so the orange keycaps are like 11$ is this shit worth returning lol? I mean I used a credit card so I can be good goy and return it and just charge back or something?

oops sorry for tilted image

w2cop miami keycaps?

Is there anywhere I can buy small quantities(1-5) of switches so that I can sample them all? Any of the brands, not just Cherry and Gateron. Even Alps, although that's more an idle curiosity. I've got two cherry blue boards and a black, thinking I'll go the diy route for my next board.

>tfw got some board I've never heard of by some Chinese company called Technology as a gift
>Actually feels pretty good
Nice

hey any of you order from jellykey's shaved ice/syrup set? jw if you've received yours yet cuz i haven't

How are the caps on this board? I was wanting to buy some PBT back lit caps for them but I cannot find any that have the secondary key functions light up as well

...

I'm attracted to terrible keyboards in the same way women are attracted to terrible men.

It's not mechanical but I don't care.

My condolences.

could be worse

could be a hhkb fan who poses their keyboards with the guns that they will (statistically speaking) likely use to eventually kill themselves and / or their loved ones with even though they believe that they're too smart and careful to do that just like everyone with guns who got depressed at just the wrong time and realized they could just pull the trigger and end it all so easily even going so far as to take out their loved ones first so that they don't have to suffer with the pain of waking up to see them dead of a gunshot wound

so, there's that

Haha, holy shit.

>this

just how gay are we talking?

Does it actuate when you stare at it?

good night /mkg/

Hey it's the guy who is scared of guns due to his lack of self control. Please start using a trip so I can filter you.

Only if you have fat fingers.

i have a noppoo keyboard. can i mod it?

If you have the skills and tools you can mod anything user. Be more specific.

can i extend its keyset to have photoshop/zbrush commands on it? like attach another pcb with more keys.

Yes you can buy a separate numpad then bind commands to it.

is the noppo choc mini a meme?? im thinking about getting one as my first mech keyboard from my like target bought 20$ one lol. Is it a good babbys first keyboard??

It's a good board. At $20 it's an absolute steal.

What keycaps fits my das model S?

Something unprinted would be nice

standard ansi

I have nordic layout with the big enter tho, is that ISO or what is it called?

standard iso

i want something like this but without the print, do you know any sites that ships worldwide?

>nordic layout

Good luck with that, the selection for nord keycap sets is somewhat limited.
