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.

yes, it's the 101 key variant with a numpad and everything. it's very nice and work paid for it so yolo.

do me a solid and after you're done doing low light super cool shots please take a couple in real world daytime conditions

i really like the idea of corsair's rgb boars but i have a suspicion that the colors bleed all over the place

dunno if i just sit all hosed up like a hump-backed goblin but when i used my k70 RGB the sick ~LEDZ~ would just reflect off the side of the keycaps in a weird oily pattern and it would look cheap. They're a lot dimmer than if you're staring directly downwards on the keyboard. backlighting is kinda dumb imo

also you can see the cherry switches below the keycaps which is usually cool but they're clear plastic which looks really cheap to me too.

I already have a filco blue nkro, but when you said that thing about affording to not give a gently caress I realized I had to get a hhkb white blank keys which I have just ordered.

yess, fellow ewaste-monger got my back. its an omnikey 101, sadly; not an ultra. but it still feels way tighter than these modern cherry boards. maybe i should try out a topre

you could get a Planck with custom keycaps with all emoji and program it to generate the Unicode values for all the emoji (at least on a sufficiently pro OS, you might have to write a driver on some)

then you could use it as an auxiliary emoji board for all your rebus posting needs

hey I'm just the ideas guy

(also my employer would own it if I tried)

if someone made the keycaps and firmware for the Planck I'd totally buy a couple though

eh I got some and I don't rate them, switch type is more important IMO


blues are objectively the best cherrys, whether or not they are better or worse than topres or buckling is a different question relying more on personal preference rather than objective facts

keycaps have a huge difference on keyboard feel and sound, probably not quite as much as switch type but if you aren't pairing up your pref of switches with keycaps then lol you are missing out

clears 4 lyfe, loud bottoming out is a shameful sound

but also each to their own, I guess
