First for y’all a bunch of losers. Go do something with your lives instead of sperging out on a fucking keyboard.
Peace out

OBSESSED

nice to see another /membrane/ aficionado here

I guess what I'm thinking is inking the thermal paper by hand and using heat resistant tape to attach it to the keycap. Then I could use a homemade heat press to press the keycap against the heating element with a thin piece of silicone between them. Or am I just retarded and about to melt some perfectly good blank keycaps

Nice
spacing

I have been thinking of getting a new keyboard, A mechanical one at that because my 20 year old membrane one is dying(keys getting stuck, even after cleaning) and decided id get a mechanical one. My budget would be like $150 CAD but I dont mind going a little higher. I dont really care too much about noise either however I want switches that could last some heavy typing. Hell I dont mind if they take more force to "press" then the average keyboard. And of course the layout just standard QWERTY. Just something built well and is a full keyboard(numpads). Lastly id rather not have something with a bunch of TRGB's but some dim white lights on the letters looks nice.

I was looking at this amazon.ca/Corsair-CH-9101020-NA-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlit/dp/B01ER4B8B4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521665928&sr=1-1&keywords=mechanical keyboard mx black however I dont like the red leds though the layout seems nice.

REEE LETS FUCKING GO ALREADY I WANT TO TRY THE %60 MEME

red dragon for like $25 bucks

>red dragon
Hmm, I do't like the look of it, also doesnt have a numpad

Logitech G413 because undecided and a step above rubber dome and still cheap. From there you'll make the rational choice on what kind of switch you want.

I mean you can get a set of blank PBT keycaps for like 10 bucks. Just make a simple design and test it out. I wish I can type korean, but there was a you tube video of some guy in korea making custom dye-sub PBT keycaps, but he had what looked like an expensive set up. The methods should be the same tho.

there's a full sized one with a numpad and steel backplate
that's a steal for the price and will last you a long time

just get a magicforce off amazon

problem?

%60

this he should get a 56% keyboard

Attached: 56.jpg (532x646, 230K)

I'll consider it, im just not a fan how how little plastic there is above the keys.

%56

okay so you don't want a floating keycaps. then try this if you want a premium keyboard

Was going to buy it but the g910 orion spectrum (the new g910 with better keys) is on sale at the same price on amazon UK.
i need to be able to change the color of muh gayming leds

i saw someone hand wiring a keyboard with some little bars and it was pretty gud hand wiring, it looked very steampunk.
Could someone tell me what was the material used?

Copper cables

what are the least fuckup-prone stabilizers available, Sup Forums?

It might not belong in this thread but:
Whats the best clicky membrane keyboard?

Cherry. Not like there's much choice with stabilizers.

shit
are they supposed to come out with the spacebar I'm trying to replace?

Cherry stabs stay on the board.

that's pretty much what mine looks like, so how tf do those center bits keep lifting out?

no, they where 100% straight and perfect, he vended them in cute 90 angles to

You mean the cross pieces on either side of the switch? They shouldn't lift out.

>some autist decides to make a new capacitative buckling spring keyboard
>decides to release it using a retarded layout, lifted straight from a 80s IBM keyboard

why

Attached: 1445206368138.jpg (1024x904, 101K)

yeah exactly. the stems on either side of the switch
something fucky's going on here

And that makes sense. The ability to customize is another factor.

I saved a Gateway any key 2000 keycaps and even thought it was rubber dome, the keycaps still fit on my main keyboard with cherry switches.

Those are Model M's you dunce

i'm talking about the model F project in general user

How are the layouts retarded?

Attached: keyboard on display.jpg (2400x1600, 840K)

it'd be selling even better if it had a ssk/model m layout, plus unicomp build quality is shit so it'd be nice to have new high quality BS keyboards

What the fuck are you talking about?

Not him, but here

Why would F62 and F77 reproductions look like the Model M? Also what is wrong with this layout?

nines of truth

why the fuck isn't unicomp making a tkl or even a 60-70% board with BS?
that shit would sell hot cakes

because its probably a garage operation in a first world country where the development of a new mold would take at least 10k

They're lazy, just buy an SSK they aren't expensive.

If I recall correctly they don't have the tooling for SSKs.

cause why should they? no one else is making cheap buckling spring keyboards. The only reason cherry actually came out with a new switch is because of competition from the chinks. tooling is expensive

it doesn't need to be the exact same design
this shit would literally print money, especially if they shill it right

>this shit would literally print money
No, people would rather buy an IBM SSK.

where have you been? ever since hipsters took over the SSK is now even more expensive then a kishy model F

yeah sure, no one gives a fuck but ibm autists
a 70% with buckling springs would be the best sold keyboard in modern history

I really like Cherry Clears, but wish they didn't have the characteristic Cherry grittiness.
Has anything similar to clears come out in the last couple of years? Last time I checked Gatreon etc, didn't have anything.

> is now even more expensive then a kishy model F
Not even close, they sell for $150-200

>70%
those exist tho

Attached: IBM M70.jpg (2704x2000, 522K)

That's a custom

an easy to build custom. someone here built one then geekhack copied him

So they don't exist, you have to make your own.

they're closer to 300-350 now
a f107 with a controller preinstalled is 325

you can easily make them. if an autist on Sup Forums can do it in one afternoon, then you can

I like the DSA keycaps I use on my smaller board, so it makes sense to get SA keycaps for my full-size board, right? I figure getting DSA keycaps on the larger board would make it difficult to reach the extreme rows, so I should get SA.

if you want a 60% then get a model F

>they're closer to 300-350 now
Yeah on ebay, not where you would actually buy one.

>So they don't exist, you have to make your own.

but they sell regularly for that price

On ebay, AT101's go for $700 on ebay.

>If you have to make it they aren't real
what kind of logic is that? I don't know about you but these
are real, and not photoshop

which keycaps?

I find it funny that he has it listed as a 101w even though it isn't. Also that's the older badge model which is rarer, but some hipster probably fell for the memes. If you think that's bad look at beamspring keyboards. they used to sell for 300-400 and now they're closer to 1000, and redditors still buy them

Hi I'm user, and I buy mechanical keyboards because the click and clacks soothe my 'tism.

>Also that's the older badge model which is rarer
They sell for $100 or less anywhere else, ebay prices are retarded.
>they used to sell for 300-400 and now they're closer to 1000
Kek that's why I sold mine

What a retard it probably has ABS keycaps too

the older ones were doubleshot ABS

its literally cheaper to buy a cheap chink keyboard like a red dragon over a cheapo membrane at this point

>a 70% with buckling springs would be the best sold keyboard in modern history
Doesn't either Plum or Noppoo literally make a 75-key keyboard with springs?

those are capacitive springs, not buckling springs

Yes they do buddy

Ebay prices for everything are retarded

>on an image board
>describes what they saw from a video with words
Post a picture you nerd

Most modify their clears with lube and/or a slightly weaker spring. There are premium switches with all that shit done already but they're expensive and don't have good availability: MODs, scamios, probably a bunch of new ones too but I wouldn't know specifically.
