Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

New delivery today from Mr Margo himself - GON NerD TKL with lubed & stickered vintage blacks and orange LEDs both for the switches and sides LED









Looks particularly nice with some nice dyesubs on Not original Cherry I hasten to add

 

I just replaced a switch on my Filco. I was kinda pissed when I saw the Majestouch 2's switches are soldered to the board whereas the 1's are merely clipped on. It made the whole process a bit harder.

I'm stoked it works, though !

 

Bought a Gigabyte Osmium

I've tried a few sets of switches before and thought I'd be fine with Red switches, I liked the almost analogue way you can use the wasd keys in games and didn't really give much thought to actually typing with them. As it happens this year I'm writing my final year project which was another factor in finally deciding to shell out. When the keyboard came, I'll be honest I was largely unable to type on it. The actuation of the red switches is so light I was pressing switches just by brushing against them and the different spacing meant I was missing alot.

I've had a few days now to get used to it and I'm making less mistakes and generally able to type on it to an acceptable level. I'm not sure I'm consistently up to my previous speed but I've definitely come to like the lightness of the switches. It certainly feels that my hands are more nimble as I type, because I don't have to bottom out the keys. I've also found that now whenever I use a normal keyboard it feels meh. Everytime I come back to this it's just better

Generally pretty pleased and hopefully with all the typing I'll be doing this year I'll be lightning fast before long.

 

I want this kit for my ducky, sent an email but no reply , anybody know anywhere else I can get it? Not had good experiences with CCL in the past.

I've only ever had good experiences with CCL to be honest so I'd give them a go personally. OCUK sell some sets but not that one unfortunately.

 

Ordered. Can be an xmas present off the wife.

 

It's a nice set I've got one here, I love the purple.

 

I miss that set now I've got a Shine again!

 

You can have it back if you want it? I in honesty haven't even used it Except, put it on my trigger, put my trigger in a box.

 

It's definitely an illness

I'll have to let you know when I've got some cash together mate

 

They're here waiting.

Along with 8 trillion other keycaps I don't/haven't/probably won't use haha

 

Did you run the full purple set or leave some keys black. Luckily when I bought the k/b 2 years ago I went with white LED's so it should look alright !

 

Time to start clearing out keycaps. I will be selling Penumbra, Cream Cheese 'n' Green, possibly a DSA Retro Set and some Red Alert caps. Before I list them over on GH, anyone got any (potential) interest in that little lot?

 

Is penumbra SA profile? If so then colour me interested depending on what you've got exactly (and the price lol)

 

Good question. I'll dig out a pic of the Nopppo and will have a look. It's got the Tsangan kit (7x space bar, 1.75x and 1x mods etc) plus the numpad, too.

EDIT: The answer appears to be a likely 'yes':



That is, however, pending me checking what size the space bar on the Noppo is. That said, the standard space bar would work I should imagine?

FURTHER EDIT: Yes, I know that's not a Noppo, but it's a similar layout

 

The answer to that is maybe for most of the keys but definitely not the space bar unfortunately

 

Do you know which revision you have, Gareth?

EDIT: NVM - found the f/s thread. I reckon the only issue you will have will be the spacebar, necessitating the use of the standard Noppo space bar. This is less of a problem than you might think, as the space bar in the set isn't DSA profile, anyway. I can muster some images tonight if you are interested?

 

I totally missed this, GK. I'll PM you now!
