my vortex race 3 gave out, and the backup board was more janky than i remeber it to be. surprisingly, a local shop even had multiple attractive options.

just moved to a keychron k2 from an es-87 and never knew how much my eyes hated me for using an unbacklit keyboard in a dark room only beef with the new one is the lovely usb cable they ship with puts my usb ports in reset loops

I built an ergodox from kit a few years back and that satisfied a lifetimes worth of desires to assemble keyboards.

since I got my board the whole universe of mech boards has exploded. and yet the switches I have - cherry clears - are still as uncommon as when I got this board I don't think I could handle another type of cherry style switch, they're all worse

well there was that old keyboard I had with blues, but that was a long time ago and I don't remember much

# ? Feb 15, 2022 14:33 |

blues are unenjoyable. clacky keybaords like a model m are glorious, but clicky is.. ugh what I probably enjoy most about clears is the resistant weight. its high. thats all I know (except it's super nice to type on)

my partner got a key switch demo board thing. I honestly like greens a lot but clears are really nice too

basically I have tasted other keys and I don’t like my reds as much now.

varmilo makes quality stuff re: switches imo linear for gaming, with reds being the most resistant switch you could want, and tactile for typing work (preferably with variable force key weights, eg like in many topre real force boards) clicky keyboard are for clowns, unless you’re leaving a toxic open office with a bang (of the space bar on your buckling spring ibm model m)

Smythe posted:I have a Unicomp tkl I bought a unicomp like 10 years ago and was really disappointed with the build quality. despite supposedly coming off the old lexmark line it just felt like a cheap knock-off. burs left over from injection molding, odd coloring, etc have they stepped up their game at all? prices don't look all that far off from just getting older ibm/lexmark hardware off ebay

i like my clicky keyboard and use it for gaming. speed golds. just need good noise reduction so it doesn't trigger vc silent blacks on zoom because then i can get away with typing while other people are talking

For the love of god please try something that isn't a scratchy Cherry switch! Prelubed Holy Panda switches have been available since like 2018!! Kailh makes a billion cheap switches that are way more interesting! Check out some box switches idk!!
