Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

Wow $10, for 4 MX Browns shipped got my order in!

Not bad at all. I should order 4 of each switch just like you said and test them out on my arrow/wasd keys one by one

Or just reds and browns seeing as i have blacks and tried blues already

[longweight]

I also need to try reds, not sure how much I care though as I didn't like blacks much.

TheKeyboardCo have different boards available in the UK/US, they are separate, and they won't ship to the UK from their stuff on Amazon US. You'll have to find a proxy buyer.

[longweight]

I can ship to a US address and have someone bring the board over for me

[hamza_tm]

Have someone physically bring it over? you mean for free? Dude that's awesome!

Could you convince him to bring one for me too?

Keyboards are so cheap in US compared to here

Pfft, who needs fancy switches, led's, media buttons.

Telling you, this dell is where its at lol, i wonder how old it is...is there any way to find out ? Why did they stop making mechanical keyboards, cost ? Noise ? Now i have been bitten by the bug i need to find something that feels nice!

What do the switches in this board compare to in the cherry range ?

My best guess would the MX blues, if you're comparing a buckling spring to a Cherry

[modd1uk]

Buckling springs ? Really, it feels ok to type on......what do i know, this is my first dig on a mechanical keyboard.

Disregard my last statement, I thought you had a buckling spring keyboard and where looking for an equivalent MX switch type

Which color of Alps is in that Dell? Black? If so probably most like Cherry clears I think. Alps seem to run a little heavier than MX generally.

Das is ok, if you get it for a good price. I don't like glossy finish either, but hey, you could always wrap it in carbon fiber film or woodgrain shelf paper or something.

It will be a lot of work, since it's effectively a plate mount board you will have to desolder all of the MX switches at the least before you can remove the pcb. You'll need a good solder sucker to make it easier.

Don't think I'll go that route actually. Not ready to take on a desoldering job like that. Have enough on my plate already!

Yes that's what I meant lol

Imagine US prices where you don't need to factor in shipping to here... mmm

Just say when!


And I assume the Dell AT102W is black Alps.

Don't get your hopes up longweight, I've been having a similar reaction to their Pure for a while and still nothing.
Although, 250usd isn't a bad price if the keyboard itself is of a decent quality.

My Poker case should be posted this week

[longweight]

That is just the aluminium case for the Filco TKL

[GeorgeStorm]

Yeah, the one they're selling with their own TKL keyboard for 250usd no?
Haven't posted a case only price have they??

[longweight]

Ohhh I thought it was just the case as I got the link from the Filco ali TKL case thread...

They may be intending on releasing it on it's own, but as I said, won't be for a while most likely

I'm liking the look of the Ducky Dragon, love the LED effect, me and a friend have been talking about how to mod a Poker to do the same thing for a while now :P

I saw on GH that a guy is making custom keyboard shells if there is enough demand for him to justify it. He's making them in aluminum, steel, stainless steal, wood, mesh..... Anyways, the aluminum one was $100, which IMO is pretty cheap considering they are milled from a solid billet of aluminum.

If he makes one for WASD new TKL board, I'll have a hard time NOT buying one. The only down side is that you have to pay extra for anodizing it or find someone to finish it for you.
