> That feel when you want a 75% or 60% keyboard but you realize with how much work you do in CAD it would hinder you
Logan Morris
For those of you without numpads, how are things without one? I really like having a numpad.
Logan Morales
are those caps real? they look fucking surreal.
Gavin Walker
yeah they are just some basic kana caps
it was a great set, i lost some of the caps unfortunately so i have to leave them on my v60
might get the sushi ones that seiden has those are nice
Kayden Nguyen
I'm not an accountant so it doesn't matter to me all that much. Plus if I ever need to enter lots of numbers or alt codes for some reason I have one on another layer
Robert Roberts
Where can I buy them user???
Angel Young
>All these bezelets
Post real keyboards
Evan Miller
Capacitive isn't real.
Cooper Young
i dont know where to find the ones i had, got them off a gb on gh from ivan right before he ran with the bag
but you can get the ones seiden has from alibaba
aliexpress.com
they are almost the same as mine, but with some color differences
Wyatt Jackson
I've seen those. Too expensive and don't look as sharp as yours. I also prefer your colors.
Lucas Lewis
>posting guns in a mechanical keyboard thread
Sorry this is for mechanical keyboard discussion and your promotion of firearms is not appreciated
Jacob Watson
id just say keep an eye on gh and massdrop, reddit too
they might pop up again, might not. ivans gone so you cant ask him.
Ethan Smith
Thanks for the answer.
Now, get another fucking keyboard already. 1 is never enough.
Jack Rogers
What kind of store can I go to where I can test the different key color types?
Xavier Bennett
Where would I put it? It's not like I have six computers.
Carter Perez
microcenter
Tyler Evans
Not like you got more than two hands either.
Eli Diaz

Kayden Wright

That keyboard only purpose in this time is to be a donor of capacitive foots to mod Model M's

I'm mean feet.
Cameron Hernandez
What good is having more of something than you could possibly use at once?
How silly.
James Lee
>got new open-ear headphones
>the clacking from my unicomp ultra classic has a crisp sort of echo to it now
a bit dirty, and the keys are a little crooked but this thing has served me well since 2014
Aiden Taylor
Don"t need them that often.
Plus, I reserve the option to get a separate one and put it on the left of my keyboard.
Logan Phillips
ive gotten used to it
i dont really after a while i got all online sites to use my paypal account which is locked into my bank account so i barely need to type a lot of numbers at once
even then ive gotten better at using the num row
Brandon Stewart
>DSA
Goddammit
Last y"all said DSA is shit and Cherry is god-tier.

Aiden Allen
Picked up a Ducky One TKL RGB (in white) for $130 yesterday. Can't wait to get it in.
Christian Miller
Reds btw.
Liam Howard
i have never needed a numpad
Lucas Evans
im tempted to buy a hhkb to bring with me to use with my laptop. im not sure if i should do it. i wish microcenter or any store had topres available to try
Camden Anderson
shit sucks
Justin Flores
is there a way to have the left control and caps lock on my unicomp switched?
its a great board, ive just gotten used to switch ctrl and cap keys
having that on my unicomp would be amazing but theres no dip switches or anything like that
Zachary Murphy
Can't your OS remap keys?
Jayden Sullivan

Kayden Nguyen
Every fucking thread, the same fucking keyboard, with the same fucking guns. What is your motivation?
Ian Watson
Sorry misquoted one of you. You know who I'm talking about.
Josiah Powell
>superior rubber-dome blocks your path
William Perez
Rubber domes are better
Dylan Rodriguez

William Lee
>superior
>not split
Jack Harris
Anyone see or hear anything about these?
They look thin, but the look of them alone are tempting me since I fell for the RGB meme with zero regrets.
Joseph Diaz
Rate my newest purchase: the logitech G413 with the Romer-G switches.
I'm coming from a Model M, and this thing is fucking fantastic. Travel is very short, and activation is even shorter. I can type like the wind now.
Also, what's a good palm rest for something like this?
Lincoln Robinson
Pic related.
The backlight is neat too.
Julian Wood
I've always loved the mechanical switch design BUT i never liked the old IBM/Win98 keyboard caps design with narrow mini surfaces. I used to own pic related and loved the typing surface and travel distance/actuation of the scissors but absolutely hate the reliability.
Question is simple, is there something that features large typing surface but instead of scissors key it's a mech ? Billion thanks in advance. Using a MS sculpt mobile now and i love the flat surface but it's bt based connection.
Liam Price
did i fuck up?
David Miller
so gatreon brown switches still have satisfying click right?
Aaron Scott
Anywhere I can find something like this but not have to wait weeks to get it?
Alexander Johnson
yeah
Chase Brooks
I do not have this problem
Colton Turner
Get an 1800 layout master race
Hunter Reyes
find me a keyboard with cool led effects
Carson Barnes
Can someone explain the appeal of these things to me? They can look ok but it really doesn't justify the pricetag. Also my typing speed drops to 50 wpm when I use them.
Colton Gutierrez
they feel good
if you don't think so, don't use one and stick to what you type well on
James Long
How is the G413 not the ultimate mechanical keyboard?
>minimalist design and footprint
>romer-G switches have the shortest travel and fastest action, so you can type lightning fast but with that mechanical tactility
>actually functional key backlighting, unlike cherry switches
>basicaly a metal plate with the keys on top, so cleaning is a breeze
>$90-100
Love it.
Easton Gray
It's just a personal preference, I like how they feel and the customization.
Daniel Rogers
Cause it doesn't look that nice
Joseph Harris
> They can look ok but it really doesn't justify the pricetag
Is it possible to buy an Asian GF? Where?
Bentley Bailey
Are you a girl?
Chase Flores
china
Parker Hill
You seem very lonely user
In a depressed dad sort of way
Austin Walker
Wrist rests are terrible for you
Just learn how to properly type
Isaiah Hernandez
unfortunately, yes
Logan Taylor
>did i fuck up?
if you have to ask, the answer is always yes.
Michael Johnson
There are a few us based sites with similar products if you don't mind paying 30-40 dollars for a slightly nicer set. I think originative has some.
Landon Morales
>tfw no board with MX Greens
why is life so fucking unfair
Nolan Peterson
Ducky and cooler master have some boards.
Aiden Richardson
Why is it so hard to find a cherry profile 108 pbt keyset for around $30?
Michael Gonzalez
Because nobody makes a cherry profile 108 pbt keyset at that price.
James Williams
Just spend the extra 10 bucks
Elijah Parker
I can't even find one for $40 I found this for $33 but it's side printed aliexpress.com
Kevin Gonzalez
there is a laser etched version that's cheaper, but I'd spend more and get the dye-sub version
Here are some of the options
Kayden Ward
I've got the G810 with the Romer switches and I love it. The keys feels nice to press, there's very little gamer stuff and the RGB stuff is pretty nice to tune and fuck around with. Only thing I don't like is the lack of a wrist rest, am still trying to find a comfortable position for my wrists when typing with it.
That being said I tried a Corsair K70 the other week with Cherry Reds and really liked it to the point where I was on the verge of getting one but I just can't see the point if I already enjoy using my G810
Gabriel Davis
Gavin Ortiz
Packages from kbdfans came in fine and fairly quick. Very satisfied.
Zachary Stewart
What did you have on order Bruce? I'm waiting for a KBD75 but the order is still showing as 'unfulfilled', just like my soul.
James Cooper
TADA68 and enjoypbt weebkeys. I did Fedex Express and it came in 5-6 days or so.
Carter Nelson
KBD75 ships on August 18th.

What is the difference between these two besides color?
Jaxson Scott
The brand. One is produced by NPKC the other is not.
Caleb Green
Show details of drawers.
Adrian Collins
Ah right, cool. Hoping the stab issue is resolved with the updated plate, I have everything ready for the board, just need a set of Cherry stabs, no fake shit
Ryan James
see if your IT department can clear the keyboard you want to bring. You'd probably have to leave the keyboard at your desk but it's a better solution than using a shit keeb
Thomas Fisher
which one is better
Josiah Walker
You'll have to be more specfic
Jason Moore
Are custom coiled MicroUSBs for your keyboard worth it? Where did you guys get yours if so?
Landon Edwards
>unreplaceable ABS keycaps
William Sanchez
I'm waiting for my classic case F77 to ship
Jaxon Hill
>worth it?
no
its just for fag points
Jose Myers
>unreplacable
But they are replaceable.
I got a whole pack of replacement caps with my G413 along with a little tool for removing them.
As for the ABS plastic thing, I'm coming from a Model M which is PBT, and the feel is very similar to me.
The feel of the keys was one of the first things I noticed.
Logitech's ABS keys feel nothing like the rubber-dome keyboards I have laying around.
Maybe this is just a coating that will wear off, but as you can tell from pic, the caps are very simple in construction, so I'm sure custom caps will come along at some point.
Right?
Cooper Scott
Actually newer to mechanical keyboards myself, I've always been rough on keyboards and eventually wear down the rubber domes constantly. I was wondering how well they last, and which switchtype to invest in?
Noah Myers
The beauty of mechanical switches is that they tend to last forever. Notice how many people in this community use IBM boards from decades ago.
I suggest Gateron Brown switches.
Elijah Scott
How hard is it to desolder a board and do I need any special equipment?
I want to get a Minila Air, but red switches are all that's available here and I wanna swap them for silent blacks since it's gonna be portable and all.
