Ynglaur posted:Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2 with Green switches (roughly equivalent to Cherry MX Reds). I like the tactile "bump" (similar to above), but the over-the-top clickiness is driving me nuts. The spacebar "thump" is particularly grating. Also, the RGB defaults to factory settings whenever I use a KVM because settings aren't saved on the keyboard but in Razer's software. The Asus keyboard actually stored all of its macros and profiles on-board, which was nice. I don't have the RGB version though so I can't speak to the quality of the RGB customization

I wouldn't really call browns (or reds) quiet. Like they're quieter than blues but still much louder than rubber domes or dampened switches.

Gateron also do silent yellows and blacks (for anyone who finds reds and browns too light) and silent inks (but they're nearly as expensive as the Zeal equivalents).

Seems like it'd be much simpler just to buy silent browns/aliaz/zilents or something.

I thought they were talking about the six navigation keys (home/end/etc) originally and not the actual number six key.

Do people actually learn not to bottom out on browns? They're too light for that to be practical imo, the simpler solution is to get dampened switches (cherry mx silents, zilents, etc)

If you mean putting UK keycaps on a ANSI/US layout board that won't completely work because the physical layouts are different between ANSI and ISO. There are enough UK layout keyboards that you shouldn't need to do this though, like the various Ducky models, Durgod Taurus, GMMK ISO and cheaper outemu/generic switch options like Drevo. For higher end options, there are also a few Vortex boards in stock on mechboards.co.uk: https://mechboards.co.uk/shop/keyboards/vortex-tab-90m-iso-keyboard/ And the Caps Unlocked CU80 group buy is currently open: https://caps-unlocked.com/group-buy-cu80-round-2/ Llamadeus fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Taciturn Tactician posted:Are there UK Ducky models? I was looking into those cause they seemed like they might be a good fit, but I could only find US layouts on the linked site, and their own website seemed to just be a showcase rather than actual sales. And exactly three on CCL Online. Usually overclockers.co.uk sells them as well but I guess the stock situation isn't very good right now.

There's also the option of buying springs of your choice and swapping them in. Maybe a bit inconvenient unless you're already opening up your switches to lube them.

There is a reason most custom tactile designs (Durock Koalas/T1s, Zealios, Holy Pandas, etc) are all designed around being significantly more tactile than browns

Might be worth trying some other stabilizers too. Durock, Everglide and Zeal are supposedly pretty good.

Did you also lube where the plastic parts contact each other? I see people doing this with the same lube they use for switches but I'm not sure how much it helps.

Babies Getting Rabies posted:The clears have a higher tactile point (63 vs 59g) but an overall much less stiff spring. The Preonic is nice and I definitely want to move to an ortholinear layout, but the XD75 could be mapped so all ISO-DE keys are available without layers, which I feel would make the transition a lot easier.

If you're lubing you might as well just buy springs of your desired weight as well

As well as the Zealios there's also all the Panda derivatives and Durock tactiles. The main difference with browns and all of these being the size and position of the bump. I think spring swapping is worth considering if you want a very specific weighting since they're relatively cheap, ~$8 for 100.

abraham linksys posted:there's two main things i'm looking into: a keycap profile that is flatter (this board is OEMs), and cases that are flat or low profile. my understanding is that if i want "flat" keycaps, my best option is DSA keycaps - does that square with what y'all have found? i know the cherry profile is also lower profile than OEM and a little more traditionally sculpted, but i'm not sure if that'd make sense to use if i got a flat keyboard case Most ergo custom builders looking for low profile go with Kailh Choc and MBK keycaps Also I thought resting your wrists was the whole point of a wrist rest

Maybe you could just cancel the order and pre-order the ISO kit? ISO has one more key than ANSI, so you'll always be missing one key. Probably # or \ Llamadeus fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Jun 20, 2021 |
