whats /mkg/ typing on?

My novatouch seems to handle custom keycaps pretty well

Hello,

What key cap set is this (see image in attachment)?

Regards.

iBM Model F 4704 107

Round 5 by 7bit

I've used red switches since about 2012 and switched over to the same model board with blues last fall. I picked up a magicforce with reds and it doesn't even feel mechanical. They should have the same travel distance but they don't feel like it at all.
Am I remembering the switches wrong or are blues that superior

Varmilo VA87mr, MX Red with o rings, I like it.

Also got a HHKB2Pro.

Thanks!

Keys look amazing. I am now trying to understand how rounds work and what are ways of buying these……

Maxkey SA Ashen might be easier to get and close enough.

Kill me please

What keyboard is this, desu?

I think it's IKBC-G104

>$16.8 shipping
Why I have to be cucked everytime in some way

No those are the keycaps. I want the keyboard there since it looks a bit retro-y.

>gateron browns got shipped
>all that's left is to adjust the plate for the stepped capslock and build a case
YEEEEEEEEE GONNA BUILD A KEYBOARD

Logitech G110. I'm contemplating buying Chinese topre knockoffs because I ain't brain damaged enough to drop 350 dollarydoos on a realforce

Got a Black Widow tournament edition tenkeyless and so far no complaints. It was cheap and works fine under Linux.

New poker 2

Got my first mechanical keyboard a couple months ago, with MX Browns. It's a little more "crunchy" than I expected, but I'm enjoying it. Still haven't reallly gotten the hang of typing without bottoming the keys out most of the time though. Any suggestions on how to get a feel for that? Also where should I go from browns if I want a more satisfying feedback? Blues?

Got a chink pro to try

Its actually pretty great. Wonder how long till something breaks on it though

Is there really any drawback from PS/2 compared to USB?

Other than compatibility with modern hardware, no.
It's faster and has NKRO.

look gay as fuck

thoughts on how blanks look on the model m?

I also have the poor man's HHKB (btc 5100c) and I love it

Have PBT blanks on my Clears and find them too rough. Now I'm just trying to get some doubleshot ABS with decent quality that don't look like shit.

Been watching Massdrop and GH for months but the only drops either look like shit or are made like shit.

Any suggestions?

should also say oem or cherry profile preferred. never used dsa though

Look around in classifieds on geekhack. GMK Triumph Adler is usually pretty cheap. If you want something cheaper then look for JTK instead of GMK.

I wasn't expecting this to be what happens when you spend over $100 on a keyboard, bros.

What do?

buy a better keyboard next time.

I pray every day that somehow someway gen y and underage millennials will just stop going online.

after you.

Common issue with gaymening keyboards. Especially Corsair. Some software bug.

No internet for anyway? That could be an acceptable alternative.

>underage millennials
what does that even mean?

Depends on what definition of millennial is popular this month.

it's always "people I don't agree with"

It's not people. Generational difference. Kids that grew up with social media.

just use google

Now that gen y is becoming marketable they are pushing millenial cutoffs back to make gen y as marketable as possible. 95 is common.

did you mean gay as in happy, or as in faggot?

My Ducky 9008p died yesterday.
AFter the funeral I will need a new keyboard
I haven't been following trends since I literally bought the best possible keyboard of all time,

What are some good full 108s with Cherry switches?

I honestly thought millennial was born post-2000. I was born in 1990 and can't relate to relate to the attitudes or mindsets of most under-20's. I'll be damned if I'm thrown into the same category as them..

Model M's look great with blanks, and I prefer the BTC Domes 5100C to topre.

Has this turned into a mechanical keyboard subreddit? That thing is hideous. Don't start threads with images like that.

ibm model m

So you want to be something you aren't.
Sounds like a millennial to me

where have you been this past year?

>tfw almost impossible to get a Model M here in germany for an ok price
Most of the ebay auctions go well above 100€.
I've been going to flea markets for years now, never seen a single Model M.

My guess is they are either sold as soon as the market starts, or people don't know the value and instead of selling it they just dump it because it's heavy and bulky.

It's a real pain

Are mechanical keyboard metallic?
Would it be good for a keyboard to be made out of metal?

Keep switching between the TADA68 and the Anne Pro.

Do not buy cherry red. Its utter crap. Too little resistance.
Avoid unless used in a planet where gravity pulls less.
Even membrane its better.

t. man with fat hands

mine is made of aluminum. keys are plastic tho.

I was wondering about full metal keyboards

why would that be a problem? the circuitry is inside the PCB

this is made out of metal, weighs like 5KG

t. manlet

Jesus Christ, that's one heavy keyboard

don't worry they make them heavier

why is /mkg/ so afraid of this keyboard!?

this post will get no replies

@59591472 (You)
ISO enters are the worst
Yuck

i have no idea what you are talking about.

ebin

reminder that you only think that because you don't know any other enter keys

I have posted it in many threads asking if it is decent for the money. it's like this general if full of key makers propping up their hobby and are afraid of price disruption keyboard

It seems like a solid keyboard, go for it if you haven't already.

what the fuck are you even talking about
cheap chink shit is always being recommended here
I never saw that keyboard in my life, and I've been in pretty much every /mkg/ thread for the past few months

SOON
