cooler master makes a topre keyboard that is compatible with cherry mx caps so you can make goofy custom keyboard autism layouts

I really want to buy one but I'm not sure if I trust it to be as amazing as people say

Can you buy something like this and use it as a soundboard, or are you forced to use the preset layout

good choice, historically model ms are ugly as gently caress but those colours are much more tasteful

wish they were "flatter", like modern boards

It has black on dark grey legends so they said that's why they don't want it, and I was all like "well it doesn't say right and left on your loving steering wheel either, how is this a problem? :smug:"

Its a realforce? I was looking at those today but I wasn't sold on any of the layouts, although I think I could get used to the 88u.
