tl;dr:
People dropped out of a few buys and now there's extra stock.

Jackson Collins
They're selling all their leftover inventory; you will miss the good stuff in the first 2 minutes, and only be left with shit.
Andrew Rogers
now will these be more expensive or cheaper? cause some of these are dropping later this year
Jonathan Adams
Thank you
wondering the same. if these are being offered at a discount I would consider getting a whitefox. B stock SHOULD be significantly cheaper, but seeing as they're being sold by (((massdrop))) it's hard to say how it'll turn out
Aiden Lewis
>discount
lel
people will be rushing to buy them
Logan Ross
I don't see your point? In theory they should be rushing to buy them because of a reduced price.
Ayden Ross
are you unfamiliar with capfags? they'll buy rare shit at any price and ask for seconds
Hudson Hughes
Yes, and you're probably right that it's safe to assume that Massdrop will fuck this up. That wasn't my point
Nathaniel Nelson
Is anyone familiar with the quality of the Plum87? I'm a cheap fuck looking to get my first mechanical, preferably some non-gaymer chinky shit with Gateron browns and a tenkeyless layout.
~$55 on Taobao: world.taobao.com
Anything I should watch out for?
Adam Gray
No discount, they actually said they might increase the price to "not be unfair to people in the original drops"
Also only 2 kits per person, may be raised to 3
Ryan Allen
I was only interested in GMK carbon and thats dropping after yuri which is the next gmk set. guess I'll pass
Ayden Foster
>gone under the radar for a week
>people noticing it at the last second
fuck off i just want to snipe some caps
Jack Edwards
I have the Plum 84 with gateron browns.
Pretty good for the price I think. It's fully programmable but you might have a hard time getting the software.
Benjamin Richardson
does anyone know the name of this beauty?
Jaxson Flores
The keycaps are Tai Hao ollivetti. As for the keyboard it could be a shine yotg
Cooper Johnson
Thank you, user!
Liam Kelly
>Under the radar
People were talking about it all week on reddit, you never had a chance.

Do I give Shilldrop more money and wait five months to get a planck, or put DSAs on a Magiforce like lipstick on a pig?

Seek help. We are somewhat concerned.
Nathaniel Sanders
Hey guys so are the gateron memes cause I just bought a random 30 usd keyboard from amazon and they turned out to be gateron blues
Also
Cherry > Gateron > Outemu > Kalith? Is this accurate?
Cooper Hernandez
Gateron > Cherry > Zorro > Kailh > Outemu
Caleb Brown
I heard zorros were absolute shit. Are you sure a bout this user?
[spoiler]I have heard gaterons feel better then cherrys though[/spoiler]
Dominic Turner
...what do you guys think? Tai hao dolch are the keyset btw.
Jace Adams
Give link
Evan Wood
it is this
gg though
Wyatt Ross
一般吧
Jose Allen
yeah I thought so, black and grey don't go well together with silver.
Hudson Harris
Is that 3LUE K751? Does it have Outemu switches?
Ethan Campbell
nope gateron blues
Cooper Reed
Here is proof btw. I couldn't believe it myself.
Carter Gomez
What the fuck, just looked at the Massdrop Whitefox page, did they really design it without the option to use stepped caps lock? Why? There's just a bunch of empty space around the normal position on the PCB.
Andrew Gutierrez
Did you order it from gearbest? How do you like the RGB?
Justin Ramirez
No I ordered it from amazon, but they discontinued it I guess
here got if for exactly 37 usd
RGB is actually terrible, each row has a different color and you can't change it. Makes the keys look like a rainbow. Then again I never really liked RGB on my keyboards and always turn them off.
Anthony Moore
Well, it's not rgb if you can't change the led colors. I guess the one that you got wasn't even rgb model like this
gearbest.com
Jaxson Hill
nah it was nothing like that. I should have specified. Yeah my keyboard is permanently one color per cap so it is not RGB at all.
Elijah Campbell
How is the build quality? I might order the RGB version
Grayson Hill
I have been using it for months now. I replaced the caps twice and there have been incidences where the clamp has stuck to the keycaps, but that is very easy to fix.
Remember I got gateron switches and the RGB one you link does not seem to use Gateron, it says "Xinda" as the company that makes the switches and I never heard of them.

Logitech G710+ - want something less gamery and more compact.
Cameron Lee
Sup /mkg/ I'm looking to buy babby's first mechanical keyboard, I've done some research of my own but any advice would be appreciated since it seems like most first time buyers end up either buying a cheap piece of shit that falls apart in ten minutes or something unecessarily expensive
>Budget
The cheaper the better
>Location (continent at least)
Australia
>Preferred switch type
Tactile switches, preferably Cherry or Gateron
>Layout
Unimportant
>Form factor
100% or 80%
>Backlight
Unimportant
Lucas Murphy
At that price point getting a ducky or leopold would be a great solution.
>Logitech G710+ - want something less gamery and more compact.
Then an 80% is more your drift.
I would personally recommend the ducky one
>mechanicalkeyboards.com
There is obviously a non backlight one for 10 dollars cheaper.
>mechanicalkeyboards.com
Leopolds are all good from my experience, but this one comes with pbt keycaps out of the box
Up to you
Daniel Morales
I agree with user on leopolds, if you play vidya at all they're really nice, if not they're still really nice (I got mine for starcraft and haven't been disappointed)
Charles Carter
Recommend the James Donkey gaterons or Rantopad MXX if you are on a budget. Both have brown models (rantopad's brown model is more expensive though) and blue models.
I would actually recommend getting a 80% keyboard cause of space and portability.
James Donkey one
>amazon.com
Yeah I have blues I bought specifically for the office to type on and annoy the fuck out of people. I actually bought another Leopold, blacks this time because of the complaints. Leopold's are great.
Nathan Allen
this looks nice but why does it have to be fucking ABS
David Turner
Abs feels nice senpai. PBT feels way too grainy imo. Also PBT may last you a lifetime, but Abs will still last a long time so I really don't see a problem.
Logan Ross
not the ABS I used and it feels okay at the start and then becomes slippery and disgusting
certainly not worth $150 or whatever exorbitant sum those kikes are charging
Blake Johnson
the fuck kind of abs did u use? I stuck with my ducky abs and it never became slippery.
Cameron Reed
whatever my old filco came with
went through two sets in under two years and they both ended up being disgusting and I'm a clean person and my two year old poker ii caps still look like new
Ian Baker
Thanks user
Brandon Taylor
oem keycaps are almost all the time shit user... but then again for some reason my ducky is still alive.
Owen Myers
You can get the jamesdonkey much cheaper
gearbest.com
Jaxon Wood
Are Azio keyboards any good?
Oliver Robinson
no they only mainly make kailh keyboards and the ones that are mx are ridiculously overpriced.
Jacob Garcia
What is this goddess? The keyboard and caps
Ayden Parker
Jace Miller
Looking for a keyboard like that, well like the blue/white one except the second letters would be russian not Chinese/Korean/Japanese.
Where should i look ? Whats the model ?
Blake Phillips
good luck with that. They are rare and if they are available they are extremely expensive.
Logan Howard
Joshua Brooks
Thank you this is gorgeous. What is the render based off?
Colton Brown
Thanks lads, money isnt an issue
Luis Stewart
>extremely expensive
$100 is pretty moderate for "high-end" keysets man, usually they're $150+
Parker Cruz
you can get good pbt keycaps for at most 50 usd. Even massdrop sells good sets for around 40-50. Where have you been buying your keysets?
Adrian Green
My Pok3r is arriving at mechanical keyboards on the 30th, how long should I expect till it ships? Do they normally send notifications. Oddly enough my current keyboard is half dead so trying to avoid buying something cheap in the meantime....
Leo Roberts
Show me one $50 decently thick PBT keyset with dyesub or doubleshot legends and good compatibility
Camden Powell
that top one is modern beige jp, not enjoypbt right?
Adrian Roberts
Correct. EnjoyPBT Japanese uses brighter colors.

i got a filco majestouch 2
i drop it fucking CONSTANTLY like multiple times a day, from 30-50cm onto a vinyl floor.
anyways just now it stopped working sort of. i mean im typing on it now, but i had to sort of push the cord back into the top if it.... what do when it stops working? like when pushing the cord in stops working what do?
gif not related just attached cos i need a favour
Hudson King
>the Unicomp Ultra Classic doesn't come with backlighting
John Jones
get parkinsons treatment
Camden Cook
stop dropping your keyboard
backlighting is a meme for retarded gamers
Ryan Gomez
i dont have a table, i balance it on my leg and these 2 cushions supported by cardboard boxes, so at times it falls.
Austin Collins
>i drop it fucking CONSTANTLY like multiple times a day, from 30-50cm onto a vinyl floor.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Tyler Campbell
It's also a handy function for people like me who happen to enjoy coding in the dark.
Isaac Morris
i cant afford any better boxes or a desk or something
Chase White
One, Tai-hao are fucking garbage and can't make usable spacebars from PBT.
Two, only supports standard 60%/TKL/Fullsize.
Blake Smith
What are some other places to design your own keycap set besides WASD?
Preferably with cheap shipping to Europe or in the EU themselves.
Shipping cost and import tax don't really leave it as an option.
Justin Baker
>Can afford filco
>Can't afford a desk
In any case, just get some boxes and a piece of wood and screw the wood to the boxes

thats gonna take a fair bit of time though and i dont have a car i only have a bike. couldnt possibly get wood from hardware store or nice boxes.
Angel Brooks
Go to some nearby scrapyard and pick up some scrap. How were you even able to afford a filco with that kind of living situation?
Thomas Turner
i currently live in a caravan internet and computer nad accessories are basically a remnant of a time when i wasnt a drug addict okay... i want to fix this keyboard if i can not make a desk out of fucking rubbish
