I saw the gmk sets usually come with one, but I think the descriptions mentioned that fact as well. Because this drop doesn't mention it Infigured there wouldnt be one included.

pretty much all the cap sets ever come with one, but if you need to get one grab a wire one, the plastic ring ones are pretty bad.

I still have yet to try out switches to see what I'd like. The local best buy had mechanical boards but I couldn't tell what switches they had in them, nothing was on the boxes that I could see.

The best choices there are the Corsair K68 and K70. I just got a K68 myself and it's great; built like a tank. I talked about it in the thread some if you check my posts.

Bit the bullet on the Pok3r with Blacks today. Got a coworker to let me try out his with Clears and I fell in love with the form factor and the weightiness of the whole thing. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do about caps.

I need some help, thread! I found my ideal keyboard, and it's the Coolermaster Masterkeys M with white LEDs and MX Brown switches, only downside is that it appears to be sold out everywhere. Is there anyone else that ticks those boxes? I would ideally like to pick up a pair of them, one for home one for office. https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01ITE93K6 Any other keyboards that have a compact layout, but keep the numpad? It's super useful for 3D modeling, but I don't like having full size keyboards. TYVM, beautiful thread. PS: Miami doubleshot keycaps on Massdrop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tai-hao-miami-keycap-set

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.

reminder that sa ashen is live and has ~5 days left on it's timer. a legit good set i own and vouch for, pretty much the cheapest way you can get into sa caps: https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/keysets/products/maxkey-ashen you'll note that ashen is pretty drat close to oblivion's white alphas/numpad & monochrome mods for almost half the price; if money wasn't an issue i'd probably get the oblivion one if i wanted to redo the same colorway (slightly more needs suiting legends for me) but ashen will be at your door in 6 weeks.

It did not ratchet down my want for Modern Selectric with blue mods.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:Wow, how are they charging that much for ABS keycaps? ABS gets a really bad rep because the gaming brand OEMs do make some really lovely thin and brittle ABS keycaps. There's lots of high quality ABS keycaps out there. Specifically the ones Signature Plastics and GMK make. Those 2 make up the higher-end of the keycap market and they're mostly ABS and they're thick as gently caress. People also like their SA keycaps a little shiny so there's that. Also keep in mind that it's all how the material is used, construction helmets also use ABS. Maxkey Ashen Round 2 is especially nice because they fixed their molds to have proper kerning now (no more SHIF T and BACK SPACE plus lots of other fixes). I already have it ordered since I missed out on Round 1. (got stuck with Portland instead  )I'll probably still get the white alphas from Oblivion though.

VostokProgram posted:This hobby will bankrupt me Just wait until you have friends begging you to not buy another keycap set or keyboard. Tears rolling down their face with each key press as you enter your credit card information and click purchase. You'll start to scratch hatch marks into your old CODE keycaps to count the days until the signature plastics run completes. 3 months after your purchase you'll buy another keyboard. You'll tell yourself the typical lies "This is my end game", "I'm a millennial. Why save for the American dream when I can have a rewarding hobby instead?", and "I won't NEED to buy another keyboard after this". But you will. You'll always buy one. Your friends won't try to stop you. They're long gone. They lost you when you dropped 4 grand on an Signature Plastics SA Avocado Toast themed keycap set so that the group buy wouldn't fail. It won't even arrive until 2023. But it doesn't matter. You've become a true keeb weeb.

The items I’ve ordered this year have all also been off-the-shelf (other than maybe the cat face keycaps?) 2. This one isn’t off-the-shelf, as it’s specially made w/o the coating. I don’t deny that Massdrop has its uses, especially outside the US, but they’re incredibly mismanaged and in my personal experience getting worse rather than better. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the SA Carbon set estimated for Mar 22 actually arrives before Q3 next year.

I'm intrigued by that prionic keyboard on massdrop right now but only for the retro orange look. What's the big deal? It looks like it comes in pieces and you have to assemble everything yourself.

It's an ortholinear keyboard, which means every key is equidistant to the home row. Supposedly it makes for better ergonomics. They're aren't very many on the market. But, mostly, we just can't stop collecting keyboards. We have a problem. The Unlife Aquatic fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Aug 31, 2017 |

It's also got that grid layout which is unusual. There's probably anodized aluminum cases in orange for other more normal keyboards if that's the main thing you like about it, but otherwise those kits are pretty easy to put together if you have basic soldering skills.

I'll probably end up rebinding "00" to "0" - splitting the key would have been just as well.
