Has anyone tried the Logitech Romer-G switches? I saw a TKL keyboard with them, and might pick it up, since my current home keyboard is feeling too big.

axeil posted:Otherwise, about how long does it take to adjust to using a mechanical keyboard? It started to feel a bit better as I used it yesterday evening but it still feels weird. When I switched from a generic membrane keyboard to a basic mechanical keyboard with cherry brown switches, I didn't notice a huge difference, save for the noise from bottoming out the keys. It was only after a couple weeks, when I tried a lovely keyboard at school that I really understood how nice it was

So, after getting my front printed caps a while ago, decided to pop in to Massdrop, and see what they have there, and I find these pretty things. Is there anything I should know about Massdrop, as someone outside the US, before ordering? I've also been using a Logitech G410 for the past week or so, and I can't stand it. Their Romer-G switches are tactile, non-clicky switches, and I wish I were able to articulate exactly why I dislike them so much. The actuation point on them is just really indistinct. Not like the browns I'm used to. It's like all the resistance is right at the top, and by the time the key moves at all, it actuates, but the actuation bump is really big, compared to the key travel. If anyone actually cares about it, maybe some more directed questions will help my description. Back to the store it goes, and I'll have to keep searching for a tenkeyless board.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:Speaking of that, I was considering updating the recommended picks in the OP. Are there any boards people would suggest I put in there? A more budget 100% board would be a nice addition. I'm nowhere near as familiar with brands as others here, but I think someone said Cooler Master makes decent basic keyboards. I'm pretty happy with mine in the OP, but then again, I've only tried a few different ones, and none of the really nice ones.

teethgrinder posted:I guess the CODE has a slightly different backplate, and a luminous layer behind the keys to go with the lighting. Thanks. I'll probably get a bare WASD when I can find someone to smuggle it over the border. The backlighting isn't worth ~$55 canuckbucks to me, and I have a set of keycaps that should come eventually.

I decided to join the Massdrop for the full size Code. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed since it looks like my new keycaps are going to arrive much sooner than I anticipated. I joined the drop for a set of these keycaps, and I already have a tracking number.

I'm not going to use Massdrop again. This drama is certainly part of it, but more than that, I have pretty keycaps, and a Code coming my way, so I don't need to buy any more keyboard stuff. I mean, what else could I possibly want?

Keyboards are great. Code with browns, and the Midnight Galaxy keycaps from Pheilcia.

foutre posted:^^ True. Nice keeb! I got another variety of Phelicia keycap and learned the hard way I'm not as good of a touch typer as I thought, but man they're pretty. You and me both   One thing I've definitely noticed is how different the sound is compared to my work keyboard (in the OP). I can't tell how much is the keyboard vs. the caps, but it's a quieter, deeper sound. I'm really liking it, and I hope I never have to replace this thing.

Fixit posted:It seems like that review pretty much bashes Romger G switches. Have Cherry MX become the standard for mechanical and anything different is taboo? I really dislike the Romer G switches, but a lot of that is because the actuation bump is all the way at the top of the switch.

For what it's worth, I got my first mechanical keyboard about 6 years ago, a basic full keyboard with Cherry Browns, and if I still had it today, I'd be pretty happy with it.

If you want designs on your keycaps, this site has a bunch. I've also seen their sets on Massdrop.

Have the options for anything in Canada gotten better in the past year? Last I remember, unless it was one of the large brands, your options were pretty much Massdrop or bust.

mewse posted:Massdrop is awful for us Canadians because they don’t do any of the border paperwork and charge megabux for shipping so you get hosed both ways. That sucks, but not unexpected. They don't have anything I want. I'd like a TKL with Cherry Clears or similar, but I guess I'll just have to wait until someone can smuggle a CODE or something across the border for me.
