Constellation I posted:Both the Ducky and the CM are good. I'd probably lean towards the Ducky since it doesn't require software to manage the lighting. (unless you really want sophisticated lighting profiles) Cheers surebet posted:switch testers are usually going to be a bit more expensive and while they're nice to have in certain contexts, i can't argue for one here. go to your local staples or something that has demo mechanical keebs on the floor and go touch them. I'm in Australia, so I don't have a Staples. I've got one place nearby that stocks Cooler Master, Corsair, and Steel Series,, but no guarantees they'll have any on display. Also, the 87 key code w/ clear switches is sold out, and so is the 104 key NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jun 30, 2017 |

surebet posted:ground flooring this! Does it ever show up for cheap on this Massdrop place? $150 yankee funbucks with an extra $49.90 for the cheapest shipping, or $258 dollarydoos all up, is a little bit beyond stretching my budget

Thirst Mutilator posted:They've had the CODE full-sized and TKL before with Clears, but IIRC it wasn't ~that~ much cheaper, maybe like $20 off at full discount. Depends what the shipping is as well, because if it's down around the $20 mark, then that's a pretty hefty $50 saving all up, which drops it back under $200 dollarydoos

surebet posted:yes! Alright thanks, I've found it on massdrop and hit request, so we'll see if it comes up again soon and for how much; pity it's not backlit, but I guess I can't have everything. Then, to find some PBT caps I like for less than the price of a second keyboard... People more attentive than I link good keys or alternative good boards here when they're live on massdrop, right?

This 2016 model CODE fitted with 2015 Cherry Blues and 2017 PBT caps manages to achieve the same handfeel as a vintage IBM, for a fraction of the auction price. Certainly a kintner worth following the produce of in future.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:A Ducky One is 90 bucks. Is that cheap enough? Is there a diifference between PBT and doubleshot PBT, or is it just lazy copy writing?

Now this is a mechanical keyboard I can get behind, preferably with Cherry Syrup switches

Do they ever sell it without caps?

a real chump posted:To Australia, the shipping cost is a pretty big difference. The WASD V2 just went up on massdrop, and to get it shipped to Aus with clears and no caps in ANSI TKL at the best price is $93 plus $33 for shipping, while buying it from WASD is $110 plus $50 for shipping, all in USD Speaking of, is there going to be a more suitable board for a better deal at all? I like backlighting, but I can do without it, especially since it sounds like clears are the switch for me, and clears don't do RGB.

Constellation I posted:Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro S/M/L. The good thing with "gamer" keyboards is that they're most likely to go on random sales in your local country, so keep an eye out and shop around. They also have a non-backlit version with PBT keycaps, but I'd rather get the RGB backlighting and pick up keycaps later. (turns out to be more expensive, but the keycaps you'd get from WASD will be equally as poo poo as the stock OEM ones from Cooler Master anyway) Well I haven't tried any switches at all, and it's highly unlikely I'll ever be able to, but by description it sounds like clear are what I want, for a quieter mix of gaming and typing. I can get a Cooler Master - MasterKeys Pro S with Browns for ~$116 USD from a place that doesn't do sales, and is rarely beaten by sales elsewhere, and I can drive to if they have stock. Otherwise they seem kinda hard to find locally. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Jul 31, 2017 |

The difference between having $100 to spend on a new keyboard for the next 5+ years, and having $300 to spend on your third new keyboard this quarter, is a distinction often lost on this thread

I have finally purchased my first mechanical keyboard. I was buying an 8TB HDD ahead of my near total upgrade, since HDDs aren't going to change in 2 months and there's no harm in moving files now, and decided to grab a keyboard for no change in shipping. Nearly got a Ducky One 2 RGB TKL with browns, but it was sold out. Checked their other brands against this thread and decided to get a GMMK RGB TKL prebuilt with gateron browns. Should be a nice upgrade over the $5 keyboard I've been using since my Logitech board broke around the same time I lost my previous job. Plus the modularity appeals to my indecisive brain.
