Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

dolch cap set back on assdrop

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/dsa-do...uest%20Launched

they're made by sp but it's not the same set as the round 4/5/5a/whatevs so whoever got on those still retains nerd supremacy

seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on that one, any suggestion on a suitable 10key keyboard to go with that would enhance the vintage-isness?

None of these prices is any cheaper than the rainbow engraved pbt set I bought through a courier from taobao so 5 years ago which is somewhat disappointing

looking at the numbers of sets massdrop are shifting i wouldn't be surprised if someone tries the high volume low margin game at some point and craters prices. could be a sellers market at the moment as anything manufactured recently can easily be cloned tomorrow.

to get that set which I like, plus the 10 key, shipped to nz after converting to nzd is 143 mother fuckin dollars

ya i just dont get it

i paid 60 bucks for my mechanical board that came with perfectly acceptable keycaps, but that set of caps costs more than my entire keyboard for what amounts to basically little bits of lego

i guess thats not a good argument because legos are also ridiculously expensive because nerds gobble that poo poo up

kinda want a mechanical keyboard at home but i actually don't really have any experience with anything but Model M's since working at a really old STEM university we actually have a fair amount of Ms laying around if you want to use one

more accurately- what kind of switches did the model Ms use because I like those even if they're loud

dunno if its audiophile-equivalent hokum but it felt like I had less wrist and hand pain using mechanical than I do with regular keyboards

cherry mx blues are allegedly the closest to model m

Model M used like real springs and switches are like idk not real springs I guess

there was a gif about this earlier itt

aren't greens designed to feel like the buckling springs on a model m?

you can also just get a model m from unicomp, they still make them.

greens are the closest in stiffness to model ms but i think clears would actually probably be closer in """feel"". i havent tried either though so feel free to ignore my bad advice
