Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

No, there were - I think Mat33o was making them last year, but never heard about it again.
Don't know...

Thanks for links. I bought the Element Gaming Beryllium ebuyer had for £44 last week. I'm sure some aficionados may not rate it but as my first mechanical I'm pretty pleased!

 

got a decent review here

 

Found a yellow realforce topre keycap set. Alphas will be going on my black HHKB when I get home!

 

It's funny how font on caps can be irritating
I just bought Filco TKL and default caps have smaller fonts on it which drives me nuts
First time I feel difference from the actual font size on caps

Like CM keyboards - they have ugly fonts, but at least are big

 

Think I've hit (the beginnings of) the slippery slope...

I have 3 mech kbs (CM quickfire TK x2 for work, and a Ducky Zero at home), and am considering a fourth, and have spent my lunch break looking for keycaps. Thanks Bit-Tech :|

 

three lol. I really fancied the ducky

 

Pffft! Amateur! There are people here with enough keyboards to put Rick Wakeman to shame.

Personally, I've got it down to five, but I plan to sell my Rapid-i in the near future.

I have a 6Gv2 with browns on my desk at work, with a "spare" 6Gv2 in the cupboard, plus I have the K65 RGB and the Rapid-i in the man cave, with an old G80 as a spare.

Oh, and a Goldtouch Numpad with browns.

 

I'll start the 'Rick Wakeman' roll call. Margo, GK, the rest of you, get in 'ere.

- Varmilo custom VA68M - mx clears;
- Leopold FC660M - mx blues;
- HHKB 2 Type S - topre;
- DAS Ultimate - mx blues;
- Ducky Margo Baggins/jinq-sea SE - mx blears;
- Vortex ONI custom - mx clears;
- DELL AT101W - alps;
- Skidata - clears;
- WEY financial board - clears;
- Cherry G80-3494 custom - clears;
- Custom GT38 - clears;
- GH60 v.30 (in progress); and
- Goldtouch number pad - browns;
- CM Storm Quickfire TK - browns (I wrote this post on it and apparently forgot about it); and
- some other things no doubt. (yes. A Silicon Graphics board with alps, and then some other random odds and sods...)

Don't get me started on the spare bits, cables, and then the massive cornucopia of keycaps I have.

I HAVE A PROBLEM.

 

I am perfectly aware that my "collection" is somewhat pitiful when compared to some of the crazy keyboard kleptomaniacs illustrious members here.
Just wanted to apportion blame whilst I could still find the right keyboard

 

Ah... ok... let's see...

IBM Model M 1395764 (30/08/1989) - Buckling Springs
IBM Model M 1391406 (25/07/1991) - Buckling Springs
KB Paradise V60 - Gateron Browns (which I'm trying to sell)

And... erm... that's it.

I probably don't fit in well around these parts

 

If browns, dibs

I've got one keyboard now, and I don't ever intend to part with it because I've completely fallen in love with MX Greens. I sold all my other keyboards so that I could splurge on this one, and I couldn't be happier.

OK, I do still have an Access EPOS keyboard kicking around but that's more for my son to play with. At one point I did think I might get myself a "gaming" keyboard, however the Greens are surprisingly alright for gaming, even FPS, and I'd rather just have one keyboard for everything to keep my desk clean. I'm terrible for other clutter though; I currently have over 50 server fans (120mm) and the collection is ever growing...

 

Pitiful? Never. I'm just an idiot. I keep them in boxes and can't bear to sell any of them. WHY?!

Again - never! A keyboard enthusiast is a keyboard enthusiast, 'speshully with buckling springs

One keyboard. For now. However - you're a fan-magpie! (It's probably better. Fans are (usually) cheaper than mech boards)

 

Hmmm...

My current typing board is a Leeku compact 1800 with MX Green switches and GMK TA. Others -

- KBP 60 - MX Blue (green for space) dressed in Penumbra in a Hammer aluminium case Ti
- A G80-3700LPCXY-2 switches replaced with MX Greens caps half POM black caps (stock) and half PBT white caps with CMYK modifiers.
- ErgoDox MX Green with half POM black and half PDT caps & CMYK modifers.
- Plank MX Green with Ivan's Cyrillic set.
- Phantom PCB Round2 plate never arrived...
- Tipro board in pieces... still planning...

Pending 2xGH60 universals...

 

House currently has 7 mech boards

In order of receipt

Roccat ryos MK Pro TKL with browns (my daughters)
Razer Black widow MX blues, lives (with my daughters lan pc)
Roccat Ryos MK Pro with MX blacks (my wifes)
Qpad MK 85 with MX blues (was my main board but demoted to back up for now)
CM Quickfire TK with MX browns (lives with my test bed)
...and finally my cheapo KKmoon with outemu blues and rainbow leds which I'm currently using and cant stop using.

I just like it.

It won't be my last board, have my eyes on the Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro with blues and the Qpad 90.

 

Damn, some nice selections in these lists. Mine is more modest:

WASD full size ISO - browns
G80-1800 raptor - changed to clears (thx margo)
KBT Pure - browns, orange leds, with metal caps, and a couple of handmade girldc ironman caps
G80-11900 - blacks (IIRC)
Goldtouch numpad (browns)
HHKB Pro 2 - Topre

 

Oh I forgot my lads TT Esport Poseidon Z with Kaihl Browns.

 

I approve of this love for MX Greens
