and the previous thread

Anyone else think sanskrit looks like little poops?

It's shitskin language so by default it looks like poop.

This one is for my RAMA M10-A.

No, but it looks like literal chickenscratch.

RAMA is meme

if you are talking about those keycaps thats not sanskrit omniglot.com/writing/sanskrit.htm

you mean the FC980C?

I linked the FC980C because I couldn't upload the images.
I think it's my favorite layout of a Topre keyboard because I don't need some of the navigation keys and incorrect legends bother me.
Pic related is why I'm using a blank normal HHKB instead of my lubed Pro JP.

your daily reminder not to order from redditor owned shops

What's the best keycap set to resell

anything old really. For example the original miami set from like 5 years ago could sell for big money. Penumbra and Hyper Fuse are also good contenders

A soware set from one of the korean groupbuys.

Guess I'll buy from Mimic next time.
mimic-cables.com/
Is there any other competition I should know about?

Anyone here bought from there? Looking to get some cables, and the options there are a lot better than Pexon, and the pricing is similar with shipping.

>Buying artisan cables at all

why are you spending so much for a cable that does nothing. can't you just sleeve a regular monoprice cable and call it a day.

Are you sure you're on the right thread? This is the place where people spend $400 on keyboards and keycaps that can do the same things that a $15 one can, and you're worried about someone spending $30 on a cable?

its really not that big of a deal user. There are other things you should worry about

It's similar to audiophilia

Colored caps per just puzzle me
but this infuriates me slightly.

Happily typing on a standard Filco.

I bought one from PexonPcs a few years ago and found it too gaudy.
I'm using my stock HHKB cable for it but I could see someone buying one because it might look better with the color scheme of a keyboard.
>because it looks cool

what are ya too poor

Unbelievable

Cheer up. I know someday you'll be rich enough to afford one

>4 is 3 is shitstreetastan

I wouldn't buy any colored key caps if I had a billion dollars

You're just saying that in order to fit in

good night /mkg/

Whats stopping me from dyeing a set of stock white caps and selling them on ebay like that

Are they for topre and do they have the CF logo on them?
If so then nothing.

Winnja seems to be reddit, but they made me a good cable. At least, I can't tell if anything is wrong with it.

Why are 2/3rds of "art" keycaps skulls?

no originality
This jew isn't even gonna ship for free lol!

Backlit PBT Black/White Keyboard

I can't find one anywhere. Halp.

pok3r rgb

What does /mkg/ think of the cherry boards? They seem to be very cheap comparing to boards like Ducky and filco.

First for dirty korean rubberdomes

Those are abs arent thet?

I made this just for you guys.

>نحن كان لوحات المفاتيح ميكانيكي و خارا طب
Sorry, I don't speak kebab, Ahmed.

hey guys

I found this,what about it? It's a HP C3758.

It's just a rubber dome.

so a topre?

>budget
Depends, but i want to aim for less than ~130 buckos

>location
europa the dystopia

>preferred switch type
brown cherries, something good for typing and gaming

>Layout
Doesnt really matter too much, ANSI for aftermarkets i guess

>Form factor
Full or TKL

>Backlight
Doesnt really matter to me

>Current kb
A shitty turtle beach impact 100, but hey, it was cheap

A topre is at least a fancy rubber dome. This is just a regular rubber dome.

Let's try again

>Budget
£100-120
>Location
UK
>Preferred switch type
Red
>Layout
ANSI
>Form factor
Either 100% or 80% are fine
>Backlight
Yes
>Previous/current keyboards
Let's just not talk about that

Got my new keyboard today

Using Cherry Browns, was gonna go Clears (which i still might get a board with Clears later if i fell like) but hey decided on Browns as it was cheaper. Feels really different than my laptop keyboard which i am use to but it is nice to know that all the key presses registers. Also i am really liking the minimalist design of the keyboard with no over bearing company logo.

The foam wrist pad is great as well

is the vortex poker worth the 170 euros?

Not that much, no.

Build a GH60

but I need a keyboard with DE ISO ;__:

same thing.If you're going to get topre at least get it free. no sense in over spending on rubber domes.

It's really not exactly the same m8. Yes they both use rubber domes, but the actuation mechanism is completely different, and regular rubber domes don't have a spring underneath them.

> what is a containment board

t.not even a kebab

Did you buy it gay or are you just a faggot

bought it gay i guess, dealer had the option to customize key caps and so i did

Like it over staring at black or grey key caps everyday. adds a nice touch, i also happen to have a purple usb cord for it

what's with all the rama shilling itt

>want to buy used mx cherry keyboards for scraps
>find some cheap ones in Europe
>postage is always above 17€

How. Why.

>being poor


>tfw payed $50 AUD to ship my keyboard from the US

>being poor

I want scraps. If I wanted a proper keyboard, I'd buy a new one.

>what is scavenging

>being an idiot

>$50
>my keyboard kit bought from Massdrop was only $28AUD despite being shipped in a box more than three times the size of a fullsize keyboard
boi you bought from the wrong vendor

Proper mechanical switches are rare where I live. It's probably all razer shit, and even then there probably are no scraps.

I want to learn how to build a kb without being afraid of ruining it.

>without being afraid of ruining it.
well there is your first problem

Building and all that jazz is about risks and learning from your failures, and you will fuck up and which is why you should scavenge parts from the dump or local offices and stuff. The point is don't buy anything if you don't need it until you know you won't fuck up

tfw typing on an azerty keyboard now.

also typing on a 60% is damn damn shitty until you get used to it properly. But my Model M is just too hueg D:

How are blacks in comparison to reds? I am kinda curious because they seem so much quieter.

Unicomp buckling springs? Yea or nay.

I love the MX greens, meh about browns, hated the gateron clear KB i bought. I just ordered a classic unicomp (model m clone). Should I like it if I like to beat the hell out of my keys?

>tfw have first mechkeyboard dream
>watch as my keycaps slowly peel and become shiny

hold me /mkg/

I have one, had it for 5 years now. They work fine, every few months I give them a thorough cleansing and they're still good as new. They're great if you like takatakataka keystrokes. Pity they don't come TKL though and modding one on your own seems meh.

What keyboard and keycaps do you have user

>He uses Brown or Blue Switches

Whats the excuse user? Too much of a bitch to type without a tactile bump? Like to annoy roommates/SO/Coworkers? What is it user?

I am a professional writer, not a gaymor

>professional writer

get that contrarian shit out of here

So you like to annoy people?

CLAK CLAK CLICK CLAK HURR IMA WRITER CLIK CLIK CLAK

Why so mad? Some people just like the typewriter feel and have actual jobs that involve using their keyboards rather than staring at them like you two autismos.

fittingly enough ABS, and memeforce

it was weird cause like the non shiny part was just like a film that was peeling off and i cant do anything about it D:

>Its an user cant make rent cuz his SO/Roommates leave and loses his job because of his loud ass keyboard episode

I do want pics of it tho user, I cant laugh at it unless I see it.

I pay my own rent, Brohammed. Also I live in a country where the government would pay me rent if I were jobless. Stay enraged >:3

>not being able to stare at your 10 cN keyboard and type
>2017

Wheres the pics commie.

Pics of what? Your anal devastation? Sorry, this is a blue board.

>He doesn't touch type.

LMAO 15wpm fag pls go

Ur /mkg/ approved shitposting tactile bump-enabled device

>he doesnt breathe type
pls kys filthy casual

Thats one of the dumbest things Ive heard in this thread. Blacks just require an extra 20g of force to actuate. Any sound difference is a result of keycaps and the construction of the keyboard

I was gonna go Clears

browns felt better for pinky and ring fingers, the ideal resistance honestly

I might go clears once those fingers get used to browns

get that shit outta here

Not him but

They come with stock Vortex PBT keycaps.

rgb does not (doubleshot abs for those), the normal backlit does iirc

Try looking on Ducky One non RGBs, CM Quickfires, Anne Pro (Gateron Browns, MagicForce (Gateron Browns).

Im not sure if Corsair offers k65 non backlit versions with CMX Browns

Get the Poker 2

ask them about restocks if they don't have your preferred switch in stock

Ah. Sorry, my mistake.

Also

/Mkg/ bois, check out MemeDrop. NPKC Gradient Keycaps are up for ~40 USD.

>Rainbow
>Sky Blue
>Sunset Blue

All offered on the base package of 87keys in blanks. Extra 3 sheckels for top/side printed or 104key.

Not sure if I should get one, I have no idea what quality of PBT does NPKC produce.
