keypuller.com has been offline for a looooong time now. What makes you think it's coming back, OP?

Wanna link those keycaps?

Topre is very nice. It sounds like raindrops when I type on my fc660c.

upstroke is weak. Although the downstroke is very tactile.

I still prefer my skcm blues.

I never noticed the weaker upstroke. I just fell in love the moment I tried it. I wonder if that means I would like jades because I pick my fingers up faster than the keys come up.
Thinking about doing a build.

the Kira mk looks great and i love the switchable switch option, but it is so expensive.

are there any other boards with switchable switches??

Not in that layout but there is also the keycool currently on assdrop, the gk64, the gmmk, the teamwolf zhuque. You could also build a cheap 60% and use holtites.

omg, so i'm like pretty new to the mk scene and i just found the input club comperative guide and it is blowing my mind. i didn't even know there were so many other BOX switches. i am like, legit confused, i thought i had pretty much seen most of the switches out there.

can't believe how many impotent shoulderlets are still posting their faggot fashion keyboards that they use to shitchat in discord all day in lieu of doing their homework.
if it ain't split, it's shit.

Split keyboards are gay

topre are ok but not my favorite
I actually prefer bke, not to mention ALPS boards and Buckling springs in general
wonder if my navy box switches will be in soon to see if I can add one more to the list

your gay faggot

I used to make fun of kids spending hundreds of dollars on shoes but here I am with a keyboard on the way and seeing if I can fit anouther keyboard in my budget. I have a problem guys.

Which bke? I'm looking to mod my hhkb

bke is shit. Once you get over the novelty of tactility, you realize the bottom out is jarring as fuck and you'll be back to stock.

Threw a big class of coke over my leopold FeelsBadMan

Turns out the sound deadening makes a perfect sponge.

i can heal you, this is what will happen to you if you don't stap right naw!

cancell the order!

any keyboard other than a basic rubber dome is incredibly gay and only a massive fag would pay extra for them

Trying to decide between the Ducky MIYA Pro Sakura Pink and the Razer Blackwidow Blackwidow Quartz, anyone have any opinions on either?

Why does HHKB cost so fucking much (over 200$) if it has cheap rubber dome switches (a.k.a Topre 45g) ?

This. Stick with stock Topre, good balance between tactility and travel.
BKE is like pic related.

you're absolutely worse than them because at least they leave the house with their shoes.

get it from japan then, they're like 50-80 bucks cheaper depending on which model you get

Any good low profile keyboard around?

you're the smart one here.

Keep it up guys. Break me down.

Ducky has better build quality, better and standard size keycaps and looks cuter

Is that the small pink ducky keyboard? I've been eyeing that too.

should i buy this one
im a poor fag and its only 16 dollars

What never told me about:
middle rows in keyboard sometimes have 11 sometimes 12 keys
So I fucked myself over buying a mechanical with 11, now it's in the armoire and I keep using my K120.

that's not even mechanical

you mean the different ISO ones.

I know, it's got mx blacks

does a good, cheap ISO 65% / 75% exist?

yes

>good
>ISO
nope

So you bought a keyboard without even looking at the layout

Fuck off useless consumer

Cause Topres have a patent.

Nips are laughing their asses to the bank that westerners and dumb americans are buying them.
Honestly this. Mitsumi switches are the worst and for some reason people think it is the best thing in the world and geekhack.

Capacitive mechanism, patents, and (get this) construction.

Good ortho keyboards anyone?

We have reached perfection.

why can't i find a mech board with hako trues? i can order the switches but i can't find a board that comes with them pre installed.

we are brety proud of your progress with that fantasy HHKB

FUK YOU TOPRE IS THE BEST KEEB

because you're retarded

If it isn't split, it's shit. While you babies are arguing over switch types and other minutia that barely make a difference, I'll be sitting with my shoulders and arms squared, generating value with every keypress I make in pure comfort.

SHUT UP STOP SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT TOPRE KEEBS

just get a split topre keyboard

just order the switches or one of their keyboards like the white fox or the kira if you can't desolder shit retard

Not the same layout but the Tokyo60 is hotswappable. Ships in August but I think they’re doing another run/you could buy someone’s spot on Mechmarket.

You said it! *splitfist*

It’ll be my first mech but I find that of all the layouts I’ve tried that HHKB was my favorite. This was the most accessible platform I could get cherry switches in this layout (Viper, RAMAworks, hunting down a GB case) besides the Tina-C but I wanted the option to hotswap.

Glad you like your split, not really for me though.

Minimalism was a mistake

that looks nice. wish they had 100%

Sure.

I thought so. I got the silver case and ordered some box blacks and a nice cable the other day. Just got to figure out a nice toned down keyset. Split between XDA and SA profile.

I'm kind of mad I missed this drop desu

i found one! a 100% hot-swap keyboard on massdrop.
perfect!

I'm waiting for future drops hopefully with better keycaps and case colors. I don't have any keysets that fit an HHKB layout.

Got a TADA68 on the way. How can I customise it on a budget? Cheap PBT keycaps?

Get in on the second drop! Supposed to be different color ways as said.

What would a complete keyset (SA, DSA, XDA etc) be missing as far as compatible keys?

I can't be the only person that looks at pictures like these and thinks, "overcompensating faggot."
And I'm not even talking about the gun.

tada already has some of the best keycaps you can buy. anything else would be a downgrade. if you want you can re flash the firmware to run QMK instead of that java applet

Go away burt

Dasher/Dancer looked appetising, at least when it was still around... You really think so? I'd like something a bit more colorful—tempted by DSA Otaku/Sublimated BDJ.

I guess if you’re really against people having hobbies and sharing them with corresponding online communities.

nothing is showing up on ali, got a link?
is it any good? programmable?
I'm deciding between an Rk61 and an anne pro before the aliexpress sale starts

Anyone have a Ducky One2? Are they good? I saw one user post a picture of a busted USB-C port on his so I'm a bit worried to get one
