Hi keyboards thread

I'm here to report on the quality of the CODE keyboard. This one has greens with the o-rings removed



Comparison of the original CODE keycaps with some massdrop doubleshots:

more modern version of that other at cherry boar:

the caveat is that it comes in clears, but for 32$ it's a solid proposition regardless

k so I got my wasd with blues back from my mum coz I am thinking about putting at my work place and I am typing on it right now and I have to say never before have I noticed how much the key caps feel has made a differnce. these ABS caps have smoothed out enough now and it's I can now see like night and day why PBT is the way to go. I am seriously thinking these need PBT on them to do a true comparision. I can feel the blues lighter pressure requirement not coming across as easier to press down but juist weaker.. idk how I feel about this..

I mean I am sure I will get used to it but I will hunt for some pbts for this

look for OEM models on taobao or aliexpress? the Royal Kludge boards they sell on massdrop are on aliexpress for much cheaper and some sellers offer them with clears.

i'd consider it for home usage, but this is going to be used at the office so i need something professional looking

i'd also seriously consider something with an actual physical ball inside it, just for nostalgia's sake
