Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

Read the last few pages but couldn't find any info: Anyone tried a Ducky One2 ? Looking at a TKL Horizon w/white LEDs

 

Depends. I have one that is awful. They keys are too light and shiny, my fingers were forever slipping and pressing the wrong keys. I also have a Magicforce (£30) and it is awesome. I had a switch die in it (space bar) but a Cherry blue went straight in and worked perfectly. Having said that I have had it nearly two years, so that could happen to any board tbh.

Thanks for responding VT.
I suppose I should have added a bit more info.
I would be after one in either black or silver and it would need to be a full size one...any further recommendations?

 

Nope sorry. Stopped using big boards two years ago.

 

Ok well thanks for the initial response all the same.

The keyboard is silver, BTW. It just has a white underbelly. Any way, that is the full sized version of it there. The thing is it uses Gateron switches. However, I can definitely vouch for the body strength and the stock keys. I changed mine, but they were perfect. Nice weight to them and no slipping.

 

A friend of mine runs a YouTube Channel with quite a following and he was sent one of these for review - https://www.amazon.co.uk/AK60-Mecha...TF8&qid=1515151481&sr=8-1&keywords=ajazz+ak60 I bought one for myself and have to say I'm rather impressed for the money

 

Cherry announced a new switch:

Low profile Red,

Blue version may or may not follow.

 

I concur, I already have one

And a couple of their AK33's (TKL'S) - one with blacks and one with reds

 

I'm considering buying another one for work.

 

Seems that a lot of you guys are well experienced in working on mechanical keyboards.
I'm going to be giving away a km780 RGB cherry MX browns and you might be interested/able to help repair this thing.
Head to the marketplace for details. pm me if you can assist. Otherwise if interested just register interest in the thread in the marketplace.

 

I knocked over a can of diet cola into mine yesterday. Only went over about four keys. Dried it as best I could, soldiered on. Realised there was cola stains on the keys (about four) so I just took them off an washed them with isoprop. This board has taken a proper battering tbh.

 

I have now started to colour match ALL my keyboards.... only another 8 or so to go (of my main boards) and I will be happy

 

hahaha OCD ! they look lovely though

 

It really annoys me that I can't do the rest, and also that I lost 1 key for my Pok3r when coming back from the US! I will have to order 1 damn key with the next order of keycaps

 

Has anyone tried the delightfully name Royal Kludge wireless mech board? How was it for you? It seems very cheap at £37inc

 

what are those keyboards that look like gloves? can i haz them?

 

They are ergodox infinity with "fullhand" add ons... I am not sure about the full hands still, I might find something else for them, but they're so expensive -.-

 

I do so like the the look of this but at almost 200 quid it would be an indulgence.

You can't take it with you...

Having said that I would not buy that keyboard. I would buy a proper keyboard and use these.
