Go kill yourselves. Mechanical keyboards is a fucking meme.
>wash the keycaps >already loose and falls off when I type >no longer need something to pull the keycaps up with because they are so loose, I can just do it with my little finger
you're right though, makes a lot more sound, has no benefits except it pleases autism
Anthony Thompson
lol fag my cheap chink keycaps are tight as shit you bought overpriced garbage
William Rodriguez
>>already loose and falls off when I type Looks like you bought a shit brand. The loosest fitting caps I own are some cheap ABS caps from a $100 Leopold keyboard that I bought four years ago. They're loose enough to be easily removed by hand, but even then, they're nowhere loose enough to fall off when I type. What shit did you even buy?
Hudson Gonzalez
Expose them to cold for a while.
Jack Powell
you aren't wrong
Jason Hughes
anyone who thinks membrane keyboards are ok hasn't tried a proper mechanical keyboard
David Barnes
>buying a cherry keyboard
you deserve your shit
Connor Evans
I have, and they're not much better than membrane if any. I still want one tho. But I'm not paying more than $40AUD for one. I'm after non recessed keyset. There's fuck all to the mechanism. Pay more than $50 and you're a retard.
Adam Powell
What mechanical keyboard did you get?
Honestly, there's no real point to mechanical keyboards, you may type a little faster and they are comfier.
Ethan Price
spending a 100 dollaridoo's or even more for a fucking keyboard when a cheap one does literally 100% the same job.
Isaac Edwards
"Mechanical keyboards" is plural so it would be "are a meme" instead of "is a meme".
Evan Harris
according to your reasoning it would be "are memes"
the concept (singular) of "mechanical keyboards" is a meme
Robert Thompson
>not using 750$ keyboard i don't have problems with mine desu
Nathan Campbell
The keyboard is your primary interface to the computer. Even a small improvement in how it feels to type can result in large improvements in quality of life and productivity if you use your computer a lot. If you can't spend >$100 on a keyboard, you're probably poor 2bh.
Christian Bennett
I assume you spend 80-90% of your life in the computer. What kind of idiot wouldn't try to make their experience as good as possible?
Jack Harris

I used to hate typing when i had rubber dome but now i enjoy it because i got a Model F
Btw can we stop calling rubber domes "membrane" keyboards? The IBM Model M is also a membrane keyboard because it has a membrane.
Adrian Howard
this
and enjoy fucking over your joints over the long term due to punching your fingers against a membrane for many thousands of times each day enjoy having the rubber in your membrane keyboard become stiff and uncomfortable as fuck when you turn 18 in a few years
Josiah Ortiz
a ducky
Connor Parker
just get some thick PBT keycaps you filthy pleb
they're not even expensive
Camden Green
I got this, it's really nice since I put o-rings under the keys. Also, my backlight goes from green to red as the processor heats up. You jelly.
Nicholas Ross
i tried keycaps from another keyboard and it doesn't even fit on my ducky
how will i know this one fits
Justin Gomez
>Also, my backlight goes from green to red as the processor heats up.
lol i want to get flames on my screen when my pc gets hot
Ryder Foster
almost all keycap sets are for cherry stems like on your ducky or in the pic . if you're unsure if it will fit look for the plus sign-shaped hole or the word "cherry stem"
Dominic Butler
but i have a mechanical keyboard from 6 years ago that is cherry red and it does not fit at all on my cherry blue
Chase Green
seems very unlikely. maybe you just need to press harder to put them on. pics?
Gavin Morales
>literally using the word "dollaridoos" ironically or unironically
Samuel Sullivan
I own Cherry: blue, brown and reds. Out of them the blues are the only things I can program on but after a few weeks my hands start to hurt.
For sustained typing I use topre (which are fantastic, if not for the idiot tax) or you want a regular membrane keyboard, such as the microsoft ergo or the old dell ones.
Dylan Price
What gets me is the apostrophe. It's gotta be a troll.
Tyler Lee
i just like that keys go further, i usually type very quickly and apply a lot of strength to each tap on the key, so on a flat laptop-like laptop keyboard i just end up pressing my finger into it which is uncomfortable. And i like mechanical keyboard sounds and reliability, i spilled so much shit on it and yet it still works.
David Wright
>keycaps
KYS FAGGOT
At least you can replace them. I paid €130 for a 60% and mine just died.
Jaxon Phillips
Is that numpad detachable? I just realized I need this feature in my life.
Nolan Campbell
You can buy a good set of Indian government subsidised keyboards for $30
Daniel Fisher
for 40$ you can get a 10 key less, for 60 you can get a full keyboard, you almost pay more for decent rubber dome ones.
Jaxon Ortiz
after using rubber dome for nearly 15 years, I got a mechanical keyboard, I no longer second guess id I fucked up typing or if they keyboard did (they key board did about 80% of the time)
Andrew Wright
or australian, but is there really a difference?
Nicholas White
> 100$ That's what you get for buying gaymer-tier garbage
Julian Morales
>CHERRY kekekekekek you're another Sup Forums moron who bought into the shitty switches cause muh manufactured in germany get shamwowed faggot
Nicholas Bailey
>that numpad wow an actual useful feature in a gaymer keyboard still uses shitty switches though ALPS, Matias, or Topre or gtfo
Charles Parker
there's literally nothing wrong with blues
he has a ducky which is good if he gets thick pbt caps for it
Jonathan Morgan
Even though its chink shit, the tomoko is a great keyboard. For 30 bucks its a pretty decent mechanical keyboard.
Alexander Foster
Should have bought American. Shithead.
Nathan Ward
Is there any non-tkl variant?
Evan Taylor
yes, but it costs more
Eli Bailey
>2017 >buying a full keyboard
Benjamin Flores
This
It's a massive cringe to pay more than $100 for a mechanical keyboard.
There's simply no substantial improvement that will make you life that better between a $60 mechanical keyboard and a $300 meme one.
Carter Evans
>spending a 100 dollaridoo's or even more for a fucking computer when a cheapbone does literally 100% the same job
Christian Bell
Don't clean the keycaps
Kayden Evans
>nothing wrong with blues that's because you haven't tried white ALPS, or derrivatives
Mason Rodriguez
no there is 100 dollars is the barrier to good non mx based switches 200 is the barrier for topre (albeit very overpriced and only for EXTREME enthusiasts)
Hunter Turner
I hate the LGBT colour theme but those keys look like
Leo Young
>>wash the keycaps what
Nathaniel James
you should do it like once every 3-6 months depending on your hygiene and how much you use your computer
remove the keycaps and brush off the dead skin and hair underneath
soak the keycaps in the sink in medium-temperature water with dish soap
shake the water off of each keycap (water can get stuck in the connector especially)
leave them to dry on a towel, preferably overnight before you put them back on again
Angel Carter
>LGBT colour theme you can configure it to be however you want. you can have it all in one color or different colors for modifier keys etc
Sebastian Wright
That's autism. I just wash them once if I buy the keyboard second hand. I do take them off every 6-ish months to brush off pubic hair and dust.
Austin Gray
I washed my keycaps like 5 times over the last few years now and they still fit like new.
David Kelly
What's the cheapest non shit mech keyboard I can get? Other than an ebay model M
Ryan Rogers
go to goodwill and pick up an old alps keyboard like a dell at101w or a focus fk for a couple bucks.
Jose Garcia
this, better than cherry kbs, just clean it
Nolan Nguyen
>Using a keyboard that some degenerate has molested for years No thanks, only buying new
Camden Richardson
faggot, you can take it apart and clean it 100%
if you want to get spoonfed on what to buy you should fill out the template in because there are many different options and "non shit" is highly subjective
Jeremiah Richardson
I literally just want something cheap and clicky I don't like linear switches though
Not gonna fill out some autism worksheet just to buy a keyboard what the fuck
Hunter Rivera
I have a probably 20 year old mechanical keyboard and those keycaps fitted on my new Lolita Spyder.
Chase Wood
well then go on amazon and get a tomoko, magicforce, or e-element
Carter Flores
there's all kinds of options from $20 to $200
the cheapest options will have the bottom of the barrel switches and thin ABS keycaps and ghosting. if you get one of those you'll want to upgrade unless you have absolute pleb taste
Noah Rivera
I have an endgame keyboard sitting around while I use my apple wired keyboard
Nathaniel Stewart
That looks pretty shitty to be honest.
Andrew Davis
Don't forget to lube the switches.
Jace Adams
don't you risk ruining the click?
Parker Rodriguez
>tomoko
>$35 >Blue switches
Thank you. See, didn't have to delve into a thread filled with autism
Brandon Roberts
use one of those $5 off coupons and bring the price down to 30
Samuel Young
you didn't even specify if you wanted a numpad or not. some people insist they need a numpad
Jason Perry
>some people insist they need a numpad Again, I'm not autistic, or an accountant. Although you can argue that there's no difference.
Luke White
Rosewill RK-9000V2 is fucking awesome, have it in brown switches. Have some EnjoyPBT caps for it coming in the mail.
Brandon Jackson
what the fuck is the point of mechanical keyboards? they are impractical as fuck you cant use them at night because they are so loud, if your wife or girlfriend is sleeping while youre working or whatever you just cant use it
fuck mechanical keyboards
Thomas Wilson
>you cant use them at night because they are so loud What? they're like only a couple decibels louder, unless you bought one of those gaymer keyboards that purposefully make them louder
Elijah Collins
you have to be in a separate room anyway if you're working at the computer while your "girlfriend" is sleeping
Gabriel Garcia
a 12dB is going to be very noticeable at night
Grayson Watson
You do need a numpad if you aren't retarded
Colton Sanders
see this is what i'm talking about: it's not so easy to give advice when you don't even specify what you're looking for
Jaxon Hill
the difference between a membrane at 54 and blues at 57 isn't going to drive someone insane.
Jayden Gray
Its 3 not 12
Thomas Kelly
Do you not know how dB works? That's twice as loud.
Evan Phillips
look at the bottom entry
Nolan Wood
Human ears don't work like that lol
Xavier Flores
Doesn't matter. There are membrane keyboards like pic related that are louder then most mechanical's, but those don't count. The difference between the two isn't big. Besides there are mechanical keyboards that are quieter then rubber domes, but I don't count those either.
>100$ is the absolute least you should spend on a good mechanical >hurr i bought the wrong thing so everyones a shill >durr membranes are better cus reliability i bet you bought the wrong type of switch too faggot
Isaac Reed
and which improvements would those be to justify a $250 difference? honest question, no trolling
I understand if you pay $100 for a mechanical keyboard because it might last 3/4 years and it's ease to clean whereas a $60 would barely last 1.5 years.
> in b4 muh programmable rainbow backlit > in b4 muh youtube shortcut mem button > in b4 muh aluminum memetic body
If you admit you're paying more purely for aesthetic reasons I could understand but unless there's a huge x factor that a $300 mechanical has that a $100 one does not, you're just being jewed, while liking it.
Angel Scott
No because rubber domes arent what actuate the keypress, hence why we call it membrane. By that logic you'd call topre rubber domes when that isn't the case.
Wyatt Cruz
how do I make my blues quieter
Sebastian Jones
I don't give a shit whether my keyboard is mechanical or not, as long as it works and types comfy. I have a plain, but robust keyboard right now. Does everything I need.
But.... I'd love to have a black-chrome keyboard like that. I don't care if I have to glue-gun it together again after a while, as long as the internals are quality. I enjoy fixing my stuff anyway. Where do you get one of those?
Joseph Gomez
take off the keycap and listen to just the click of the switch without the keycap. if they don't sound too loud you can get thick pbt keycaps to lower the pitch of the sound
Cameron Gomez
o r i n g s
Landon Baker
I've been using the same old plastic keyboard for like the past decade that I got off best buy for a few bucks. Aside from it being dirty it still works great.
Brody Young
>bought a shit keyboard >lol they're all memes guise xDDD Nah, my buckling springs keyboard was a great purchase. 10/10 would buy again.
Xavier Edwards
a difference of 10 is twice as loud you meme
Leo Turner
the rubber dries up with time. you should go to best buy or w/e and try out some mechanical keyboards
