Silver Alicorn posted:is carbon fiber really that much lighter than plastic? I thought the point of it was being lighter than steel it is, it's tougher than steel with the weight of a plastic and the malleability of a middle-aged republican. it's a bitch to work with (I've heard, no experience) but it's legit boss level awesome.

Cocoa Crispies posted:it's fine imo, better than yet another massdrop link that's "these are doubleshot keys but in a different color and i downloaded a new font too" speaking of assdrop, 64$ +shipping: no, not a whole keyboard of these keys. not all 3 even, you get to chose one of the colors. again, 64$ +shipping. computer toucher posted:it is, it's tougher than steel with the weight of a plastic and the malleability of a middle-aged republican. i haven't done much with the stuff, but imo it's only difficult when you're trying to deal with lots of fine details or complex curves. otherwise it's more time consuming than anything once you figure out the best practices problem with cf keys would be the legends, you're either - printing (bleh) - laser printing (would probably look like rear end) - laser cutting (not sure how cf would deal with precise top to bottom cuts plus even if you fill it in with resin or something it's going to delaminate way faster) plus personally i like cf with a dull matte finish, not a super shiny one, so kb keys wouldn't work for me. i could see the top of the kb case being done in cf, it's not unreasonably complicated as a shape. i'm not a fan of the way dipped cf-like finishes look but stuff like 3m di-noc film works ok: up close it's not as good as cf, but if you're willing to work it a bit more after installing it by adding a layer of gloss/matte varnish it could come out nice, plus it's a hell of a lot less complicated than engineering a replacement part from scratch

surebet posted:at that point it's not really a portable thing anymore, it's more like a bunch of open frame monitors on admittedly neat folding mounts every cherry keyboard with a cac reader i've encountered in my life has been a really lovely rubber dome keyboard. i know it says cherry on it, but large government organizations are the main customer and they only want to pay for overpriced trash so that's what cherry makes for them answer: any keyboard with a built-in cac reader will be a worse keyboard than anything apple makes, so just buy a bunch of usb cac readers instead and keep the keyboards you have

back to boar talk, is there a way to look up "all keyboards with {switch type}" somewhere? i'm in the mood for something vintage but gently caress if i'm going through the whole research a couple neat looking boars only to find out the switches are wrong thing again
