Shit I fucked up
Jayden Moore
My ikbc C87 arrived yesterday.
Here's a pic, though it doesn't do it justice. Looks much better in person, kinda like the stock pics.
The down-key had a plastic seam at the bottom which I filed off. You can still see some of it in the picture if you look closely.
Other than that I see no issues, I like it.
Got it in just 2.5 weeks from aliexpress.com
Luis Jenkins
stock pic here. It actually does look like this in real life if you use strong lighting.
Only difference is that the keycaps have a more matte/grainy texture in real life, which is something I like.
Julian Gutierrez
any good mods to a stock hhkb?
Ian Sanchez
yellowing reminds me of my old nes damn that shits nostalgic
Luke Garcia
Where can I get keycaps that have GNU and Tux on them to replace the windows key?

Are gaterons really better than cherries or is it just a meme?

Dude nice keeb collection. I think most people's end game is the HHKB. You should invest in Topre MX sliders for some sweet key caps or you can buy some sweet artisans for topre. You should mod your keeb with 55g domes and lube your stems, that makes these keebs super smooth to type on. Where did you get that wood keeb wrist rest?
Connor James
Are the HHKBs that nice? Thought they were mostly a meme
Aaron Wood
where do you live?
Nolan Stewart
They are, but its a comfy meme
Christian Bennett
>he enters numbers with the number row keys
The only time I reach up there is for symbols. It might as well be symbol only keys.

Are there any good youtube channels regarding mechanical keyboards?

Their linears and browns are silky smooth unlike Cherry's scratchy horse shit.

Been trying to learn to touch type on my KBP v60. Wrists are killing me (poor position I know) so I guess I might try a wrist rest to see if I can make any progress.

wrist rests won't help you there

Yeah, that's what I was worried about - timne to shift my fat arse and learn to sit properly

I feel so stupid. Now to find it, uninstall it, and get back to breaking the board with recursive layer modifiers
Ian Cooper
I just made the Jump Sup Forums
Thanks for the advice, how did I do on this cheap gaming keyboard?
amazon.com
I was sold after people reported the reaction was noticably faster.
This is the perfect keyboard for me, except that I wanted a compact one, but you can't have everything.
John Green
I tried designing a PCB for the first time tonight, how badly did I fuck up?
Yes I know I forgot to remove the LED pads.
Jace Nguyen
This is stupid since both cherry, matias, and kailh have faster switches at a cheaper price

Fuck MasterKeys Pro S mechanical keyboard. RMA'd twice now - not sure if they will even replace it this time. A fucking piece of shit.
Can someone recommend another £100 or less keyboard similar to it?
Joshua Carter
>no name switches
>horrible keycaps
>gamer shit everywhere
Horrible pick for a keyboard. If you wanted a compact keyboard with Gateron switches, PBT keycaps, and a steel plate, you should've got this for the same price:
Jaxon Cruz
ducky one?
Michael Gonzalez
Unironically tada68, unless you really want that dedicated F-keys row or the RGB
However I added a couple layers and I actually find myself using even the number row less and less. YMMV but I may actually end up falling for a 40% meme soon.
Ian Fisher
Forgot to mention I'd like the RGB meme like MasterKeys.
Hudson Garcia
Then get a Ducky One with RGB lighting
Brody Ross
>ducky one
is this chink stuff legit?
It's £140 so even more expensive but if good whatever I guess
Mason Reed
What do you mean by faster? Less than 1.8mm travel?
I wanted linear switches, and these boasted both linear Red switches with short travel, and like I said, it may sounds like a meme, but apparently the infared sensor in the switch makes a noticable decrease in latency. (they claim 0.2ms)
Colton Evans
Logitech G Pro.
If you don't like the switches, Corsair K65
Nolan Roberts
But that one doesn't have RGB or infared switches, which apparently make a slight reduction in latency. Apparently Bloody's "fastest switch in the world claim" isn't just marketing bs.
Easton Davis
More legit than jamesdonkey keyboard.
Nathan Hill
U sure its like 140€ here. I went with the non backlit version for 80€ since I didn't care for the meme. It's very solid and would recommend it, but you're probably looking for it at the wrong place
Parker Roberts
Replying to myself.
I JUST ordered the bloody one, should I cancel my amazon order and get the corsair?
Is there any $60 or $80 keyboard that is compact, cherry MX red and RGB?
Are the 'no-name' LK infared swithes really bad? Just because they are not popular doesn't mean they aren't quality.
Chase Wilson
Also can't I buy quality double shot keycaps and put them on?
Kevin Brown
Checked everywhere. £140 min or out of stock.
Jackson Rivera
Kailh makes the fastest switch with a 1.1mm actuation point while cherry speeds are 1.2 and both have 1ms of latency depending on the keyboard firmware. Heck even chink boards like the noppoo choc mini have 1ms of latency with the cherry switch version.
Adam Gomez
what's the point of fast latency if its gonna be bottle necked by the 1000hz poling rate of USB
Jose Smith
Who new brexit could be such a bitch. All your mechanical keyboards are overpriced, even cooler master keyboards are $50-60 over priced.
Samuel Ortiz
>people reported the reaction was noticably faster
p l a c e b o
Gabriel Clark
noppoo choc mini lets you adjust debounce time too so you can set it to just above the chattering threshold
Xavier Cox
Well then that raises a good question: Which is faster:
A 1.8mm travel with 0.2ms latency
or
A 1.1mm travel with 1ms latency
Noah Taylor
Won't 0.2ms get screwed by chatter? Also - wouldn't you need PS/2 to be able to take advantage of that?
Nolan Reyes
Ok, here is what I will do.
Apparently my Bloody keyboard has already shipped, so I'll have to return it if I don't want it.
But that gives me an idea. I will also order a Cherry MX RED or Kailh RED switch compact keyboard and see how it compares.
Anyone have recommendations on a good Cherry MX RED or Kailh RED compact RGB
keyboard?
Thanks.
Anthony Sullivan
Why not Gateron reds?
John Brown
And how are their blues? Also, aren't the browns horseshit themselves or is it just another Sup Forums meme?
Fuck, I really gotta get a switch tester.
Jaxson Long
ugh the keys aren't actually rgb
>The keycaps's backlighting is only an ice blue,but the keyboard base is multiple-mode RGB backlighting.
William Phillips
I might just fore-go the RGB and get this more utilitarian options:
amazon.com
Should I give up on finding a $60-$100 Cherry MX Red RGB compact keyboard?
Charles Fisher
No, don't get corsair, cheap and awful abs keys that will look like you smothered them in lard after not much time at all.
Daniel Lopez
Because I want the shortest key travel and an above poster said the shortest were Kailh's at 1.1mm and Cherry MX Reds at 1.2mm
Charles Phillips
Hudson Richardson
>amazon.com
meant mx red/silver of course, not brown
Joshua Davis
Shortest would be MX Silver, not common MX Red.
Cooper Harris
no its cherry mx speed/silver and kailh bronze/silver/copper, not reds
Eli Wood
reds actuate at 2mm. You're looking at the wrong switches
Camden Reed
switch testers aren't actually very helpful, it's a feeling to go with what you already know they're like, but it's not the same feeling as typing on a full board
finding out you prefer greens to blues is something that it takes typing on a full board for, you might not realize you're gonna bottom out a lot on blues if you're just carefully pressing a single switch instead of typing normally with every finger
Ayden Taylor
keep yours arms elevated off your desk while typing and try to keep them straight
Christian Ward
gearbest.com
Any of you have this?
Can I remove the yellow part from the case?
It's a great price but it looks disgusting.
Liam Green
But then he cant flip his spacebar.
Ryder Carter
No, brown is a fine switches. Some don't like browns because tactile feel too subtle. While some prefer that.
Mason Flores
you keep your elbows planted at desk level on the arm rests of your ergonomic task chair, and you keep your keyboard flat on the table with a 7 degree incline built into the keyboard, and then with your elbows at desk height, your keyboard raised from the desk, and with your wrists and thumbs neutrally positioned you will find that the cherry/oem profile is garbage and they only angled it that way to fit in with the rest of the bottom row from an aesthetics point of view. see pic related for how a less shitty spacebar would look like.
Adam Gray
>cherry/oem profile
*cherry/oem profile spacebar
Adam White
i think an user (OP?) or two has it and at least one user is waiting for his to arrive. the yellow parts are removable but you might need a hex key (but i have seen it with normal screws too). it doesn't have built in memory so the yellow backlight will come on every time you plug it in.
Samuel Price
where can i buy keycaps that create a similar effect to this?
alternatively where can i get clear keycaps with a plastic that diffuses the light?
I cant find what I'm looking for at all. also i need the ISO keycaps
Jaxson Jones
amazon.com
They also have a version that's tinted
William Rodriguez
You'd have to get a keyboard with smd leds if you want something like that
Aiden Johnson
but they dont really diffuse as well as i want. do you think sandpaper will make it diffuse better?
i want something like pic related
what is the difference between surface mounted and led in the switch itself?
Daniel Moore
Those keycaps in the pic are:
maxkeyboard.com
Ryan Walker
i know. i want something similar but through the whole keycap. you see how in the link posted the lights are alot sharper?
i want something like the max keys but with the soft diffuse going through the whole keycap

I worked for almost three years in trading and when you actually have to do business calculations half your day and have to input thousands of things into excel or SAP, you would rather kill yourself than input that shit with the number row.

Matthew Stewart
user please tell me your thoughts about the James Donkey.
Gaterons for that price seem tempting, considering my first option costs 60€.
Charles Morgan
James Donkey's decent. The keys feel like it's made out of recycled ink cartridges, but the switches themselves are really nice. I really enjoyed typing on them, whereas I felt a resounding "meh" when I decided to take out my RK-9000 with Cherry MX Browns.
Ian Rivera
Very decent. It just looks ugly with the yellow stands, but you can easily just remove those. Keycaps are ABS, but otherwise I can't think of something that is absolutely and OBJECTIVELY terrible about it.

Ayden Kelly
How does Aliexpress get away with free international shipping? Even shipping doujins with SAL costs a fortune.
Elijah Martinez
gateron blues are actually garbage user. Cherries are better.
A Corsair Strafe isn't too bad
amazon.com
If you don't care about the lighting the turtle beach's keyboard is actually pretty good. TKL and no back lighting though.
amazon.com
Grayson Perez
Ok, thanks, for that price I don't think I can do better.
Now I just have to decide between blues or browns since I know jack shit about switches.
Noah Thomas
Cause there is a tax on degeneracy.
John Miller
Exactly how are the yellow bits attached? Do they serve any functional value?
Hudson Kelly
Blue gaterons are not that great compared to cherry mx.
I would personally recommend gateron browns. Great tactile bump and fun for typing. Beats the Cherry mx browns out of the water.
