I got a cheap rgp mechanical keyboard for Christmas and I like it! :)

>>103874117
put GMK on it

I ended up getting the pbs black on black keycaps since the only really dark black on black keycaps are expensive ass past gb GMK sets. First set of non-sculpted keycaps so hopefully it doesn't feel like shit.

If you care about the sound of a keyboard, you have autism.

>>103874808
I get what you mean but it's important that the keyboard is quiet enough or it will be annoying to use

Where can I get something like this prebuilt? Split board with a trackball and preferably with bluetooth if possible.

You try to bolster your own posts with reaction images, because there's nothing there. "You have autism for caring about something." This post has been made 1000000000000000000 times to no effect.

Your keyboard sounds like shit, mine doesn't.

Ok, the Gateron Longjing Tea switches have some serious double press issues. I've got one key that will sometimes triple input with a normal keystroke. These are brand new switches.

e.g. here's me spamming 321 on the numpad:
321
321
321
32221
3212
321
3221
321
321
321

Can't in good conscience recommend these switches. Avoid. Shame on Gateron.

>>103875217
If it's a hotswap board, you can probably check if there's something wrong with the "2" key's switch contacts that is causing a lot of chattering. Though the only easy way to definitively tell if it's a bounce issue would probably be through an oscilloscope.
That being said, it wouldn't be the first time a chink switch has had some QA issues.

Yeah, I bought milky yellow and oil kings last year and assembled 2 keyboards. Both types of switches started to screech (I mean springs in them) randomly after 1-2 months of use, I re-soldered like 12 switches. God, they are just worse than anything at this point.

>>103880530
Get any hotswap keyboard and put in silent switches and it'll get you 90% of the way there, then lube your stabilisers to take you from 90% to 99%.
You can do other mods to take it from 99% to 100%, but you really don't need to bother with that.

>>103878729
my brother has had ks-3x47 gats for half a year now and they still feel and sound great. But they were spring swapped to TX springs.

I wouldn't trust those black springs on the oil kings but I'm surprised something went wrong with the milky yellow.

>>103875976
They are supposed to be a pretty solid option so I would just go for it if you like the look.

am i retarded for wanting a 40% but keeping the pinky cluster? i currently use a let's split and ive tried the kyria but i just cant get used to thumb cluster shift key or hold for ctrl/shift, even though having the enter key on the thumb cluster was really nice, are there any 40% split layouts with horizontal stagger but still 4 buttons for the pinky and 3-4 thumb cluster keys? do i just make my own?

MX Keys S - I really like that I can switch between the usb receiver and Bluetooth devices and that i can switch between Mac keys and Linux/Windows/Android keys because I have to use all 4 systems day to day. I'm wanting to replace it because the keys are starting to fall apart (some clips on the keycaps are broken and the keys keep going mushy) and I'm hoping mechanical keys would last longer and be easier to replace.

Don't give Ellipse money. Buy a 75 dollar F XT and a 25 dollar converter.

Intro S100 will have ISO support on all PCBs, and it's around that price. You'll have to spend a little more to actually acquire the switches and keycaps, but that'd be a nice board. Comes in a good off-white color too. Doesn't come in neutral white though.

Otherwise you can get a Keychron or a Varmilo. Not sure if there are other prebuilt 100% ISO options, those are the ones I know. Varmilo has a white one, I think.

>>103885852

You're looking in the wrong places if it's that expensive, buy it on Aliexpress instead.

Someone tell me the appeal of artisan keycaps. I look at so many of them with massive ears or pointy bits, and even if it's made with sturdy resin, there's no way you can get used to typing with that shit. And if it's not resin then you'd only feel bad about potentially fucking with the clay / glaze from the eventual wear and tear. Only the metal / resin caps seem to make any sense, and yet I see so many keyboards with odd shaped keys wtf.

>>103887982
>no way you can get used to typing with that shit
They're usually used for macros and such, not switches you type with regularly.

I think they're almost always very ugly and I've never found one I liked or would use. Not ugly in themselves, mind you, but ugly when put on a keyboard. I think some of the metal ones could be ok, maybe.

okay bros, I'm not actually looking into getting a new keyboard at the moment. But a few months ago my homie asked me what keyboard he should get, and initially I said whatever the newest Ducky is, but started googling what's recommended now, and Ducky is apparently not top-tier anymore. Keychron seemed to be the consensus. He ended up ordering the Keychron Q6 Pro with the banana switches. So I guess my knowledge is out of date.
Is Ducky shit now or what? If I wanted to get a new keyboard, and I don't want to do all that building it with the soldering and rubberbands and complicated shit, MAYBE I will replace the keycaps with an aftermarket set down the line, what's the best now?

>>103873279
>the first thing i came here to inquire about
>>Whats the deal with backlighting?
Why does every example image in this picture have such incredibly bright eyerape backlight?
my keyboard has relatively dim lighting, apparently target of complaints for not being strong enough. i usually dislike typical bright lamps and id rather have some colored moody weak lights instead, either from an actual lamp or some pc peripherals
i also dont believe in the "why do you need to look at the keyboard in the dark havent you memorized it all" stance : in my journey of autistic 150wpming and midnight programming, my rate of typos and innacuracies is definitely lower with backlight keyboards, i think theres some benefit from having it in the corner of your eye

>the other thing i came to inquire about
I know basically nothing about switches, using the archive mostly just has me finding people talking about mouse switches. What is this places' actual genuine consensus on optical shit? And what does it mean when some relatively cheaper keyboard from some cheaper brand (brahma pro)calls it "optical-mechanical" as opposed to just optical?

Akko 80% with jelly pink linear switches.

I don't know if it's a problem with the keyboard or what, but some keys don't always register on press (mostly Z, X, C keys). I swapped the switches around with less used switches from other keys, problem persists.

I need a numpad anyway, so I would like to just start over.

Basically want the best I can get without having to do any work on it myself because I find it to be tedious. My akko came pre-lubed and all that, so I imagine that's standard nowadays even if doing it yourself is "better".

Can spend a bit more if it'll get me something decently better. I have the money but I don't want to spend a retard amount on a keyboard.

>>103883390
>the lack of an F row might annoy me.
Oh yeah fair. I was already used to a 65% so hitting fn+number is fine for me. I will say though that if you're playing insane games that need f-key bindings it is a slight hassle (I've never played one that has required fast access to them though so I've never really had a problem). The fact that you do have a right hand cluster honestly makes the F77 still better than a 75% in my opinion, because for example you can use the normal numpad flight controls in gmod or GTA and stuff.

Outside of games I barely ever notice it (but again I was already used to this).

>>103889028
Optical switches are neat in principle, however (unless something's changed recently, I haven't kept up closely) they're not really compatible with most PCBs and it's not easy to buy them separately in the first place, so you're mostly stuck with a very limited choice of gaymer-branded keyboards for it. As a result, you have to make a decision about the keyboard as a whole, you can't just decide you want opticals and then stick them into your favourite form factor and shell. Also because of the limited choice, while the concept is good I honestly don't know which individual switches are actually well made (smooth, not scratchy, not faulty...) or if there even are any that are good enough.

Am I able to ask for recommendations on brand name keyboards or is this only if I want to be autistic enough to make my own?

>>103886861
Well, you can buy 3.7 lbs of pork for 10 dollars (tho animal meat is cheap since it's Peru). It's just that I'm a cheap fuck. I guess Ill have to spend those 10 extra for that 75 size and nice keycap colours

>>103875976
It's a solid board, very bang-for-your-buck. One issue I have, owning both a standard C64 edition and a 108-key Famicom edition, is that swapping switches out is annoying despite being hot-swappable because 8bitdo's sockets are stupidly tight. So if you don't like clicky switches (or specifically don't like Kailh Box Whites), then that's something to keep in mind.

What level of keyboard autism are you on anon?

>>103892303
Well in that case it's worth mentioning that most decent modern keyboards use VIA these days, so instead of downloading software you just configure them through a web app in a browser.
So yeah I'm dodging the question because I don't actually know what logitech offerings look like right now, and I'll just say that the most common recommendation for a full sized keyboard would be a Keychron V6.

>>103892010
Aliexpress regional pricing seems to just work like magic, you roll a dice and sometimes it works, sometimes the page doesn't even load and sometimes it costs $50,000.
As for the switches, I think they're just all slightly different flavours of linear, so you probably can't go wrong with any of them.

Redpill me on Topre. I like the thocky sound but how do they feel to type on

>>103893082

Is there a switch that makes the m1 garand ping every time you press a key

My Keychink K8 Pro started having issues just after 2 years. W key wouldn't active occasionally which was super frustrating. I punched the shit out of it eventually and the elevating clip behind it broke. Now it's a flat piece of crap on my desk that cost 130EUR.

Anyways, curious about some similar options (available in EU) in terms of style and size that ideally wouldn't shit itself in 2 years?

(Tips on recovering the piece of crap would be appreciated too)

>>103889028
>Why does every example image in this picture have such incredibly bright eyerape backlight?
Because of the way MX mechanical keyboards are designed. It's true that you can turn down the brightness but you can't change the incorrect way they distribute light.

>>103894227
Just use those silicon wall bumpers if the legs are actually fucked as a makeshift solution. It would be less ghetto if you could 3d print one at the right height, or even remake the clip if the hing is still in tact.

It is sort of remarkable how far keyboard affordability has come in the past 3 years or so. It used to be that the boards you can get for ~100-200 now would cost at least $500 USD and there were no prebuilt options at all. Nowadays you can get a truly premium product for 100-200 and the more expensive keyboards are for true luxury items that you are buying for the aesthetics. Chinese manufacturers changed the game with economies of scale.

Also, that ±10 is the tolerance, you want it as low as possible unless you plan to swap springs. And most of the time, spring weight reported at the bottom, meaning it'll be heavier than just 40g.

>>103885626
What options do I have for Bluetooth compatibility and switching layouts between Mac/PC?

>>103885626
I'm still a bit assmad the hotswap layout on that is fucked on the bottom row, with that 7U spacebar and other larger modifiers, compared to the solder one which is normal. I was honestly considering it until I saw that.

Just got this in from Unicomp.

>>103897224
Nice, enjoy it. I am using mine right now and it has served me well for the past few years. Also if the bright lock lights bother you I recommend putting some electrical tape or something over the clear rectangles to make them less harsh. If you cut them small enough it will block the window but still shine through around it.

>>103896130
If you want all that stuff I'd just get a Keychron Q6 Max (or V6 Max) ISO version. If it were me—well I'd probably get the Q because I love wasting money, but if it were me and I was serious about the budget—I'd get the V6 Max ISO and spend the rest of my budget on nicer switches and keycaps. I don't like the Gateron ones they use, the tolerances are all over the place, the springs are too light, and the lube job feels gummy.

anyway here's the link for the Q6 Max:
https://www.keychron.uk/products/keychron-q6-max-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection?variant=46077852745898

>>103895668
75% without a blocker is the only sensible 75% layout. There are a few such boards right now:

TKD Pt.1 75% (DeltaKeyCo, 229 euro)
Bridge75 (Monacokeys, 135 euro)
Neo75 Cu — $190, but no ongoing GB in europe. Don't know if Qwertykeys will ship to Europe since they had vendors there during the GB period. Maybe there will be another round in future though.

TKD would be my pick (linen coat), even though they're sold out of solder pcbs (hotswap, yuck). Comes with stabs so then I'd spend the rest of the money on buying Shenpo Beige keycaps from aliexpress ($35) and some switches.

>fell for the low activation force meme
FUCK I should have gone with black and not red

>>103897862
I actually plan on swapping out the LEDs for ones that come very close to the old green ones Unicomp used to use. Already did it to my 122. I bought this board because I wanted a 105 key ISO board. I also have an extra Pico-based controller waiting to be installed into this board. They unfortunately do not make them anymore. I heard they're working on a new board design using the RP2040 itself. Until then, it's the old controller board again.

>>103897916
Just buy a switch opener and some springs. Easy fix.

>>103897920
Yeah that is a better solution, green should be real nice but I bet it would also be good with amber. I was thinking about doing that or applying a film on the inside but the tape worked well enough for me so I just kept it.

>>103897920
>>103898593
I'd love to do Red-Green-Blue on my own board (ideally with a less yellow-y green than what you'd normally see). But I bet that's way harder to pull off.

>>103898729
I think the issue here would be getting the brightness of each to be equal. Otherwise a cool idea.

So I got a Redragon K673 MAX 75% as my first 75% keeb and I gotta say this cheaper shit is really starting to impress with the feature set. It cost $55 and basically ticks all the boxes I was looking for in a keyboard this time around.

I thought normies complained about the sound keyboards make in shared offices?

Someone had asked a couple threads back about a silent build and Akko Penguin switches. I now have Penguin switches setup with my new Akko/Monsgeek M3W.

I like it a lot, and considering the price of the switches I think they would particularly be a great option toss onto a cheap hotswap board and get a nice soft/quiet setup for a good price. The market for mechanical keyboards has truly never been so good.

The keyboard is audible in a quiet room, but it's VERY quiet, tapping my fingers lightly on my desk or mousepad is about as loud. My mouse (DAv3Pro) is MUCH louder. It's much much quieter than the soft thock of using standard linear switches. I'm glad I chose a tactile switch for this build because it's nice to have a little feedback when the keyboard itself is so quiet, and the tactile bump helps prevent accidental presses.

The actuation point is slightly below the tactile bump, which can be noticeable when typing very lightly because it's possible to clear the tactile bump without actuating the switch, so these switches encourage bottoming out more and that means they would probably pair best with a softer build (gasket, flex-cut, soft/PC plate) compared to a harder build (solid pcb, no gasket, etc). In practice I basically never notice this, but it is possible to do if I am doing it intentionally.

I'm very happy with the amount of force required to press the keys, and I don't have any problems with accidental presses like I do with lighter/linear keys. They feel just right to me. Thanks for reading my blog, fellow autists.

Thanks for nothing, but thouight I'd update on the situation. I bought the V6 Max (wireless) with the Jupiter Banana switches (tactile) because I already have a bunch of linears.

How about some good chink keycaps?

Thoughts on my keyboard? I focused on making it compact, durable, practical and timeless. It's a Keychron V5 Max with Gateron Oil King switches and aftermarket double shot PBT keycaps for long-term durability. Went with the V5 Max because its plastic case makes it lighter and more portable than aluminum versions.

>>103902623
At least check if you can find and applicable Keychron board for sale. They aren't the cheapest, but they are pretty good, and have decent selection of ISO layouts. Something like a V1 might do:
https://keychron.de/products/keychron-v1-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection?variant=40970502733961

>>103905277
We only have a handful autists these days so it takes a while for someone to show up and answer questions that require thought, but I would have told you to just get the max version anyway since it's just $10 more.
As for keycaps, Womier stuff on Aliexpress is the best price/performance you can get, they're about $10 and don't have visible flaws. KBDiy do decent GMK clones, and Yong Qiu stuff is fine if you're getting dye subs, but avoid their doubleshot keycaps because the quality on the legends is laughable. Plenty of other stuff out there, but I haven't had experience with them so you'll have to rely on reviews with images instead.

>>103904172
>>103905277
The max is gasket mounted, while the original V-series has regular plate mount. With that small of a difference in price, it seems you made a good choise

>>103906662
I'm a fan of the plastic case portable keyboard since I did something similar myself. You did a better job than me with the black keycaps though, because you look like a normal person while I look like an autistic person whenever I pull mine out.

>>103906662
A clean look with nice crisp legends, I like it. PBTFans caps?

I tend to agree that the plastic case makes more sense, as the aluminium boards cost quite a bit more for rather subtle (and subjective) benefits. That said, I bought aluminium anyway because I hate money

Just got a Topre NGO100 Realforce board that I recently won for cheap (relative to typical Topre prices) on a Japanese auction site; it's my first time using Topre switches. It's certainly a nice smooth typing experience, the build quality is pretty good, and these are by far the best rubber domes I've used, but I'd be absolutely underwhelmed if I paid typical Topre switch prices or anywhere close. I paid enough where I'm glad to have it in my collection despite not not being my favorite board. If nothing else, it's a great candidate for a "night time" keyboard to not disturb my roommates with.

Also, it's JIS layout, so I've gotta get used to it, but that's purely a "me" problem.

>>103904203
Figure out what spring weight you prefer and go from there. You can also look at long pole switches if you want something more thocky.

>>103907154
I was pretty shocked to see how expensive they've gotten recently. Wasn't a V1 like $70 a few years ago?

Hard to find any Keychron 100% offerings with a hot swap board that don't have switches so I can add my own. Just trynna build a 100% board with some kinda blue clicky switches that are comfy and loud for a first time mechanical user. Already have key caps.

>>103908183
Looks like the V6 normal is available barebones. They only have the ugly translucent black though.

>>103908180
I don't know about the V1, but the Q1 v2 is now $6.9 more expensive in the keychron.com store than it was in 2022 when I bought one. Do note that the link I posted was to the .de store, and thus the prices include taxes, and stuff is generally more in EU stores

>>103908225
I might spraypaint the housing anyways. I will keep an eye for those being back in stock. Seems easiest to get that and some blue switches from them, their house brand seems good.

>>103908589

>>103909749
It's only chink and gook corps making anything new though. Topre never changes and for the most part keycaps are still chink shit, even the expensive sets bordering on the price of a decent topre board.

>>103904172
The Max has a few differences:

-gasket-mount rather than tray mount (better)
-no compatible replacement plate options (but the polycarbonate plate is fine, so not a big deal)
-more foams (not really a plus, you should remove them)
-possibly lower latency, I've heard some of the older Keychron models had—

Nevermind, just saw your follow-up post. At least you picked the right one.

>>103905277
You waited not even a couple hours in a slow thread. Go fuck yourself.

Best cheap chink caps are gonna be dye-sub pbt. JC Studio, Shenpo, XMI, etc. If you know how to use Taobao they're even cheaper, if (like me) you don't then the cheapest will be Shenpo on Aliexpress for about $35

>>103909749
Don't waste good cunny to post absolute retardation, anon. Your $10 Logitech keyboard is absolute dogshit.

>>103906662

It came today.
Love the look but with the leg angle was a little taller.
Its still feels flat thought it has the stands up.

>>103910657
A hotswappable QK100 with any plate option should be about $200 if I remember correctly, so that leaves you $200 for shipping, keycaps and switches.
Already plenty of discussion on keycaps in the thread, and as for switches you'll be fine with anything that gets shilled often.

What's the deal with QMK support in OpenRGB? The compatibility list says that the only requirement is for the keyboard to support QMK, yet there's a bunch of articles saying that you also need to mod the firmware. Also you can't use wireless 2.4Ghz with QMK?

>>103920968
ZMK is a QMK fork that supports wireless, iirc

>>103921000
Doesn't support 2.4GHz, either. When they talk about wireless, they mean just bluetooth

>>103921040

What the fuck is wrong here? Problem seems rare enough that google-fu has failed me and I'm too much of a brainlet to figure out if the hotswap sockets or the PCB is the problem. Issue is definitely hardware though. Help.

>>103921351
So if you press A+S, it would ignore the S?

>>103921478
It would ignore both.

>>103921539
Have you physically inspected the hotswap sockets when looking at the back side of the PCB? Make sure you didn't accidentally break a solder joint or three, but if it's an entire section of keys, it's probably a PCB issue.

>>103921564
Physically inspected the board earlier - hotswap solder pads and diodes all look pristine. Inside of a couple of the hotswap sockets are clearly a bit out of shape, but individual keypresses still register as normal on all keys.

>>103921681
I guess you could try unplugging all your peripherals except the bare minimum and see if your keyboard still acts up. Or plug it into another machine and see if the issue persists.

>>103921166
Has anyone used magnetic switches? How do they actually feel to type on and use? First saw those pop up on gayming ones so leads me to believe it's shit.

>>103921707
Yeah, will give it a shot when I get home. Could hotswap sockets shorting against the alu bottom somehow cause this you think?

>>103921909
If they were shorting against the bottom, I would think that your system would interpret that as a keypress. You could just put a sheet of paper between the board and the case if you want to do a quick test.

>>103919838
nothing is stopping you from doing a commission for a ceramic keyboard case with holes in it from a local potter

>>103920532

I type in German so I wanted to replace some of the caps in any case, but the original caps looked cool too

Original looks more respectable, but would be better without accent spam still.

>>103924135
Is there a way to check?

>>103924643
Looks good but I never watched Eva past the first one so I have no idea who 04 is. Link for the keycaps?

>>103907633
As much as I like Topre, I would have a really hard time recommending it to someone in current year.

After using Topre for 10+ years cherry-mechanical style keyboards have advanced leaps and bounds through experimentation with different case materials, plate materials, mounting styles, etc in order to come up with a more pleasant user experience, whereas Topre has stayed Topre. There's still no market for Topre-stem keycaps. Topre boards no longer compete (off the shelf) with multilayer gasket/etc designs. Even Topre's incredible durability isn't a big deal when the competition has hotswap sockets now.

>>103925762
That's the impression I've been getting. Again, happy to have this board in my collection for how much I got it for ($70ish including expedited shipping) and as an alternative nighttime keyboard, but there's no way I'd be remotely happy if I paid anywhere resembling MSRP or the general western asking prices for a Topre board. And people paying hundreds of dollars for rubber goddamn domes on a formfactor as stripped down as HHKB are outright fucking retards.
>There's still no market for Topre-stem keycaps.
To be fair, there do exist kits to replace the standard Topre cylinder mounts with MX-compatible ones. I don't know the details of them or how well-done they are though, and frankly I'm almost certainly not gonna bother. I might look into replacement domes for ~45g weighting across the (literal) board later, but that's not a certainty either.

Logitech G610. Some time ago somebody here suggested I get a Keychron V6, I really liked the idea but it was unavailable for a long time. I checked again and it doesn't look like it'll become available any time soon, so I came here to ask about good alternatives. I was going to buy barebone without a knob and buy switches myself but I don't mind if it's pre-built with okay ones.

>I want US QWERTY-ISO
What did you mean by the "US-Intl QWERTY/ANSI layout" in your first post then?

>>103928842
I use a US QWERTY-ISO layout with the English-Intl input method set in the system settings. Which is basically the same as US but allows me to type umlauts by using a Shift+' key combo.

>>103928724
>>103928876
I mean I use and want ANSI. My brain isn't working correctly since I didn't have any coffee.

>>103928054
If the V6 ISO isn't in stock then you could get one with nordic keycaps or whatever is in stock currently, then buy some replacement keycaps on aliexpress.
Another option is to get the V6 Max and just unplug the battery, but there aren't too many other good options. And of course your barebones idea would also be good, combine it with some budget chinese switches on aliexpress like mmd princess for about $10.

>>103928904
I forgive your mistake, just don't neglect coffee in the future.

I was wondering if you were talking about some obscure US ISO layout. You should be able to set your layout to US-international with any ANSI keyboard, which are readily available in the EU

>>103928474

is it not annoying to have always have to look for shortcuts or use the mouse?

>>103929325
thanks anon, and what shortcuts specifically do you mean? for me i dont really have to look for anything, the shortcuts are automatic/muscle memory since i touch type and i dont have to use the mouse. i feel like its easier and faster for me on this size cause nothing is too far and i barely have to move my hands to press any key or combination of keys. i wanna make a nice numpad to plug into this board too though since i have two usb ports.

>>103928941
I am almost convinced to buy it.
How does the charging work, can I just leave it plugged and never worry? If I leave it connected, will it lag? I used to have an annoying problem with a wireless mouse and I don't trust wireless connection since. I am not a hardcore gamer (hardly a gamer at all these days), but I don't want to be annoyed by something I spend money on.

The original Keychron V6 ISO is available for some languages in at least their .com and .de webstores (only ones I bothered to check):

However, the Max version is potentially superior even if used wired only, as it has gasket mount. Even if you don't care about the travel, gasket mount can help substantially dampen sound. Also according to reviews the Max has lower latency, which might be relevant for gaming or something.

>>103929552
V6 Max has excellent latency behavior wired, at least according to this:
https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/reviews/keychron/v5-max-v1-max-v2-max-etc#test_22196

Also I've read that some people have just disconnected the battery on their wireless keychron, and the boards work fine wired. Don't quote me on that though

What keycaps should I get for my all black tkl? Something not too out there that still looks clean and simple. Are there any gray sets with black legends that dont try to look like the ps1? Also huge bonus if can be found for cheap ordering from china.

>>103876482
found one for £300 used and local.

layout was ANSI even though we're in the UK, and the seller hadn't bought any extra flippers or springs, so i transplanted the guts of the Fn key to down between Lshift and z, removed the Fn barrel and taped over the gap. shit's good enough for now. taking the layers apart and putting them back together isn't hard.

keys were harvested from an ibm model m, only the spacebar is original to the new F.

actuation force is much lower than my 1993 model M. noise is generally similar but louder.

problems: the period key hits the spacebar wire and makes a loud click. possibly this is the ibm keycaps' fault, i'll give them a chance to get to know each other, it'll probably stop once there's a groove worn in the key.
vertical stabiliser on num+ was chewed to fuck, like the previous guy had tried to pull it with a wood screw. key was working fine so who knows?

>>103930770
White on black/black on white keycaps generally look good regardless of case color. Grab some additional keys like space/return/esc in a different color as accents.

Nobody wants or needs to hear some status-thirsty eunuch policing whether other people are "too into" things. "Ummm if you're this obsessed, that's autism, you're scaring the hoes"—you are not even ensouled and you are scolding your superiors.

Got my Ellipse Model F77 repro a bit ago, here's my first impressions blogpost from somebody who mainly used Cherry MX customs prior.
It arrived about 35-36 days from the time that I ordered it (I'm in NA). I got it on sale for $250 without any of the extraneous bullshit, since there was no way I was going to pay $400+ for a keyboard that I've heard has some issues. The board arrived with keycaps in a separate bag, and it was simple to follow the installation process. The online manual and instructional video are definitely the product of fucking amateur hour, but if you're over 50 IQ, it shouldn't be hard to figure this thing out at all. I installed one key wrong, resulting in a mushy, non-clicky feel - reinstalling it took ten seconds. No issues with missing or broken components on my end, though the keycaps arrived with some minor manufacturing scuffs on a few of them. The board itself is a fucking tank and it feels great to bash on. There's zero flex, stem wobble, nothing. However, I had to adjust the spacebar because it was rattling like a motherfucker. This was also a simple fix - just had to bend the stabilizer tabs down towards the backplate, took less than fifteen seconds each. Firmware programming is your standard QMK affair with creating a layout, compiling it to a hex file, and flashing it. I'm a Linuxchad, so it was a bit simpler with dfu-programmer. As for the buckling springs themselves, I love them. I thought boomers were just baseding out over nostalgia, but these supremely crisp, like the keyboard version of McDonald's Sprite. I think they've single-handledly ruined other tactiles for me, actually, which surprised me because I thought I would hate the ping with a fiery passion. Most of the time with custom boards, that's a sign of cheap construction. But here it feels accentuated, deliberate, purposeful, like it belongs. Overall, I quite like this board and will probably daily drive it for a long while. We'll see if I get ratfucked later by defects.

>>103933325 (Me)
tl;dr
>Manual BAD
>Minor keycap scuffs BAD
>Model F77 GOOD
>Buckling springs GOOD

>>103933325
>>103933376
I have an earlier F77 (a painted zinc-alloy case), and I've been loving the actual board myself too. My only issue is that the paintjob is pretty shabby and comes off too easily. I think the paint method was changed with the recent switchover to aluminum cases, but I'm not sure. Something to possibly keep an eye out for.

I'm tempted to get an F104 down the road, but I wanna wait to see more about how well they hold up with other owners (and not just Youtubers chummy with Ellipse).

I have a Ducky Shine 4 with MX Blues. How easy is it to change them to something like an MX Red or a MX Silent Red? I'm fairly confident with soldering but I've not opened it up yet. Just wondering if there's anything I should be aware of

It's just time consuming. If you plan on doing more switch swapping consider soldering in single hotswap sockets like Mill-max or alternatives from Ali https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007593692562.html

>>103933122
If you care about the sound a keyboard makes, you are too-into things and need to re-evaluate your life. Keyboards should be silent if used in a shared space, if you aren't in a shared space, the "sound" it makes does not matter.

>>103933789
Is there a particular type of switch I should look out for? I keep seeing 3 and 5 pin switches. How do I know what I should get and would fit the board?

>>103925500
Sorry, I'm just not very interested in PVP shit anymore. Don't really know much besides just hearing that through the grapevine, you're better off just searching around.

>>103926785
Quite particular to MX Purple, but they're just Ergo Clears with a longer ~55g spring

>>103934148
3-pin switches just have the big peg in the center and the two metal pins that connect to the keyboard wiring. 5-pin switches have two additional smaller plastic pins to the left and right of the big center peg.
It really only matters for two reasons:
- If you're doing a plateless build (as in you're attaching the switches directly to the PCB without using a plate with the square switch cutouts in it) 5-pins will prevent the switch from twisting.
- Whether or not you're doing a plateless, you need to make sure that your PCB has the corresponding holes for the extra pins on a 5-pin if you decide to purchase 5-pin switches. 3-pins are compatible with 5-pin PCBs, but not vice-versa (unless you cut off the plastic pins yourself).

>>103934148
Not him, but in that picture for those sockets that anon linked you can see the kind of PCB that would fit a 5-pin switch, since that's the switch used in the render too. The only way to know what you have is to open it up and see if your switches have those two extra plastic pins on the side of the center pin (where the switch slider/stem bottoms out). You can most likely do this without desoldering anything and just looking at the back of the PCB.
Also, you can generally make 5-pin switches fit 3-pin only PCBs by just using a flush cutter to snip off the two plastic pins. On the other hand if you have a PCB that accomodates 5-pin switches they would work with 3-pin switches too.

My topre realforce r3s silent 45g arrived and it's nice but hitting the unsilenced keys makes me wish I had gotten the unsilenced model.

Plastic boards sound better on average, thoughbeit.

you can make it unsilent yourself by removing the rings between the housing and sliders.

as far as pre-made gaymer slop goes, what is the consensus around logitech g512 carbon? Considering picking one up to replace my g815. I like the flat keys alright but I do miss the standard keyboard keys a bit. Local best buy has an open boxed refunded one for $75 so I'm thinking real hard about it.

If your only options are MX blues and browns and the board doesn't have hotswap support, I'd give it a miss.

update after 1 year. the kbd8x mkiii has emerged as the endgame board for me and spends months at a time on my desk without ever being disconnected. i've tried a few other custom boards in the meantime here and there, and only the kbdfans PCB has been rock-solid reliable in obeying my command to keep the niggerlight turned off. most QMK, VIA, and Vial PCBs are unbelievably bad at that, but the kbd8x mkiii PCB does exactly as i command and even remembers for months what to do, even as other PCBs forget after mere weeks and wake up running their idiot light show after being plugged in.

unquestionably recommended. worth every fucking penny. the case finish is lovely. i built it in top mount with the polycarbonate plate and tried a few different switches before finally settling on invyr HPs.

This anon here >>103937044 is right. Hotswap support, especially on a board approaching (let alone entering) the three-digit USD mark, is a must these days. Especially since the three basic Cherry switches (including clones of them) are pretty mediocre compared to the wide variety of other MX-compatible switches that exist outside of Cherry's range these days.

its never been better to be into topre. there are new keycap sets being made, URSA for example. amano keycaps both oem and hipro sets, sho aluminum or polycarbonate cases for hhkb or realforce r1, super abundant and cheap housings and mx sliders from aliexpress, klc, or deskeys. different types of domes, custom pcbs, including a new hybrid pcb that support mx on one side and topre on the other. it's also gotten much cheaper to get into imo and there is a lot of stuff customize with. stock is amazing don't get me wrong, it's really good. i have one, with aged domes, it's very nice. but i also have custom build topre too. of course the market of mx oriented stuff exponentially dwarfs the electro-capacitive / conical keyboard market but it's not as limited as you would think.

I went with these. I'm also considering swapping the Mambo Mint switches with Gateron G Yellow Pros if they are worth looking at.
