Ok guys I need a keyboard for work that I can use to show off my fancy new keycaps No I don't speak Japanese shuttup Anyways I'd like to keep it on the sub 100$ end since these were 35$ but as long as it's got nice mechanical switches I'm just going to be pretending to program on it. I've been meaning to look into building a keyboard but I'm incredibly lazy and I'm not really sure I'm ready to become that kind of keyboard sperg yet Edit: welp guess I should have read the OP

I've really grown to like Romer-G switches in my Logitech 810 or whatever it is, what's the closest switch to that feel?

I love typing on my G810 at home but im not bringing that to work because it's too flashy and i dont want to have to move a full size back and forth every day

Does the WASD come in a white case? The only ones I can configure seem to be all black

NTRabbit posted: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 thanks for this, imma pick that up even though i'd prefer a white board over a black one

Ok so since I know poo poo all about brands and what's good/what's not good, does anyone know of a keyboard that has a white case with MX blues or clears and OPTIMALLY has some RGB backlighting (or at least white)? I want to give my keycaps some a e s t h e t i c s and i was thinking a light pink rgb would look really nice preferably under $150 but at this point i'm not picky. I was gonna get the Leopold but then I realized that the right shift key is a non-standard size. I was thinking about getting the DSX on MD but it seems overpriced, and while the WASD V2 with no keys is only $111 for clears, it also is black which idk how it will look with grey keycaps

I got my Ducky One RGB in and I think one of the LEDs R in RGB doesn't work  I'm debating if I should call the Amazon people and have it exchanged or if I really care since the keycaps I'm getting in September from massdrop don't have windows anyways so it's more about the background lighting edit: other than that this keyboard is great, very solid and i love the white colour. i think i must have bought it from mechanicalkeyboards.com's amazon store because it came in a MK box, so maybe i'll just bother them and see what they can do for me FAT32 SHAMER fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Knowlue posted:Realistically, it shouldn't be that hard to ultra nerd out and make your own keyboard from the ground up right? I would be mostly worried about getting the frame and the mechanical parts. In terms of the pcb I could easily draw it up and hand-etch a prototype and get it manufactured at a later date. Does anyone have a clue how much it would cost to get the mech supplies? Is it even worth it to nerd out as an EE or should I just say gently caress it and buy a mechanical keyboard and save myself the trouble. I don't have one yet and I'm thinking of getting one in the near future. It would be a fun project, when I looked into doing the same the switches alone would have been about $100 for 104 clear switches, and the only reason i didnt do it is because a PCB for me would have been around 114$

Me and my friend who works with me were keyboard enthusiasts (admittedly I only knew the gamer brands) and the week after we started bringing in our own keyboards the resident know it all had become an overnight fountain of knowledge about how corsair makes the best keyboards (He bought a k70? With reds :barf)

I just got my ducky one RGB w/ cherry blues and I love love love it  I got them to replace the delete key so it works great

[quote="“Eric the Mauve”" post="“476658430”"] Not that it’s relevant but true story, I’m an inveterate pen nerd who probably owns or has owned 100 different pens from 10/$1 papermate sticks to a $120 fountain pen. The extreme high end pens are cool for the novelty and  value, but the fact is that for everyday writing that feels good and looks good, the world’s best pen is the relatively humble Uniball 207 gel pen, bold point, that Staples sells for usually 5 pens for 7 or 8 bucks. OK I’ll stop interrupting our regularly scheduled keyboardnerding with pen commercials. [/quote] Actually it's the pilot G2 0.25mm

The problem is more and more skandi speakers are using English for online communication and with keycaps already being a small niche and there being like, maybe 20mil speakers between Norwegian Swedish and danish, you probably will never find any that are cool without making them yourself I really wanted my work board to be ISO Nordic because I use Norwegian at work a lot but instead I went with my vaporwave english/japanese caps instead because a e s t h e t i c s
