Instant Grat posted:i want that board the only people who should have Lisp Machine keyboards are people who have Lisp Machines to use them with it's honestly getting to be a real problem, lots of collectors of vintage terminal and workstation hardware are now finding systems that are missing their custom (and undocumented) keyboards because the keyboard collector fuccbois are taking them to harvest their key switches and keycaps I know of one Symbolics where someone literally tried to pay asking price for the system just to get the keyboard (without which you can't use it at console)

I thought I wanted a clicky keyboard so I've been fidgeting with a cherry mx keyboard sampler from wasd for a couple of days and there's something about the blue clicking noise that is really unpleasant to my ears, like it's really high pitched or something. The green click is much less obnoxious, it has a firmer thunking sound but it's still really loud  I think the clear switch is my favorite if I were to buy a new keyboard. All my existing mech keyboards at home and work are mx brown, and the clear switch feels just a little more tactile, probably better for typing and worse for gaming

time for some switch diagrams! reds are linear and there's no tactile feedback when you cross the activation threshold:  it's a good switch for unsophisticated savages who bottom out regardless. you can get these pretty quiet if you pair them with o-ring bumpers, but really at that point you might as well look into some good dome boars if noise if that much of an issue browns and clears nudge a leaf spring just after the activation point:   my preferred switches, similar but not quite same feeling as with buckling springs, the idea is that you don't bottom these out since you have immediate physical feedback after going beyond the activation threshold blues have the same leaf spring idea going for them, but pushing past the threshold kicks forward a small plastic carrier that generates the distinctive click sound:  the problem with blues is that depending on how they're soldered on the pcb, how the pcb is secured and what sits behind the pcb, you can start making additional pings. if your blue board is making a bunch of additional noise, check if the pcb is properly seated/secure, add some mass to the board and consider adding rubber baffles or something linear, tactile & clicky are the only three operating modes of all mx switches (if you don't count stuff like the mx lock), the only thing that changes with another color is actuation force; greens and blues are the same switch with different springs, engaging at 80cn and 50cn respectively

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:i literally don't believe there are people who don't bottom out keys bottoming out is kind of a misnomer, the difference between aiming for the activation threshold and straight up aiming for the end of the switch if i'm trying to type without bottoming out, i stop applying force past the activation point, so by the time the key gets at the end of the switch there's much less pressure than if i was going straight through, so less sound "bottoming out" implies that you're pushing the key straight through regardless, so you're still applying full force by the time you hit the bottom, therefore making more noise basically, "typing to make noise" vs "typing to be discrete", at least to my mind, through i've seen people with enough typing control to only partly depress keys without hitting the bottom at all. seems like a good way to get an rsi though.

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:i literally don't believe there are people who don't bottom out keys it depends on the switch really keyboard im typing on now previously had switches similar to mx browns in weight and i bottomed out on those a bunch cause i got fat fingers, i switched it out for clears over the weekend and now bottom out significantly less simply cause im applying the same amount of force but the bottom of the keys is so much heavier so it cushions and stops me sooner typing with clears over time you get used to not bottoming out so much in part cause if you did your fingers would just get loving tired
