I kinda want to get the keychron q6 qmk with the knob though

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39990023323737

can't justify that given I already have a good keyboard but I do want it

if you're going to go big enough to have a numpad, don't skimp on the extra half inch it takes to have a traditional numpad and arrow keys that 1) aren't cramped and 2) are in alignment with the other bottom two rows

Hi, a 104 wouldn't fit within the vertical supports of my riser that my Traktor box sits on, and i need the numpad because i use the 1-9 (excluding 5) to use as group target hotkeys when i'm playing a heal class in my favorite MMORPG. next

the logitech mx mechanical mini jawn is real good

ya i picked one up when it came out, only annoying thing is the volume keys aren't all on or not on keys affected by function lock so it takes me a second to figure out whether i need the fn key to change the volume or not.

Threw some Kailh Box Navies in my Alt, man they were not kidding about these switches being heavy. Already getting used to it though, and I think I'm into it.

we have some of the worst keybaords at my new job

a) they’re just plain bad and spongy but also b) there is a printer between the keyboard and the usb dongle so often you’ll type and it’ll buffer the keystrokes for a couple seconds before the pc receives them and they come out all at once. it’s challenging


some
of the POS tills use these


and considering the alternative these are not that bad


the ultimate test of a keyboard isn’t really if it feels
good to use but if you can type effectively on it. at least those nice price logitech keybaords are typeable

but no one else cares. and why would they spend money fixing what ain’t broke? the bane of my
existence

because this is an intimidating place and it seems dangerous to wander around in here? :shrug:

What's the vibe in this thread anyway? Are we just pragmatic/cheap clicky clacky users?


Vintage chasers?

Do we like Artisan keycaps?

I'll have more knob for ya soon enough.

I'm redoing a bunch of builds around right now and at least one will have an encoder swapped in to replace one of the switches. Plus I've got a board coming soon with a dedicated encoder position.

Agreed. 75 keys is twice as many keys as some of my boards.

i am still using a code tenkeyless with clears. thanks.


oh i also was going to make a cool cable 4 it like all the kb wankers have but the aircraqft connector doesnt really make any practical sense so i have a really short micro usb extender on it instead for replugging convenience. i might still make the other cable curly like a telephone cord tho

I have a code with clears but it has the necessary keypad. pbt caps

it continues to be the best keyboard



idk why clears and generally heavier than blues/browns switches are rare, my suspicion is that people just don’t know about them. they are superior
