Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

I'm still going to go for orange with mine but was thinking semi-glare. May well go matte now...

 

I don't know what the semi and the glare look like in the flesh. I'm pretty sure, whatever you go for, it will look mint. There is not too much weight to these cases, maybe it will feel a bit more substantial with switches and parts.

 

<3 purple.

I eagerly await a good old-fashioned retinal searing

 

JaccoW - I forgot to say I received the spacebar, really very quickly actually! Thank you again!

 

so who's going to stump up for the awful looking asus mechanical keyboard? someone's gotta do it in the name of keyboard science.

I guess it will probably end up being me

 

Is that the Echelon? I might grab a second hand one at some point, but I'd only buy a new keyboard at that sort of price if I knew it was going to rock my socks.

 

I don't think it's that disgusting to the point where I want to scoop my eyeballs out, but the wrist rest would bring me close...

 

Heh, a Margo mod. Kewl.
Those enamelled(?) mods look particularly lovely too.

 

the shiny ones are niqmods which I believe, are painted with car paint?

 

Not a problem Matticus, glad you like it.

Yeah, they're NIQmods. Car paint on plastic caps. They are for sale btw, though I really like them with these caps so I'll probably keep them for a while.

Anyone got a white on black centre stemmed capslock in Cherry/GMK profile?

 

I didn't even know Asus had one... looked it up. I don't see any reason anyone should bother. It's just yet another iOne U9 reference model with an Asus logo slapped on it.

 

shhhhhhh you are taking all the mystecism out of it!

 

God that ASUS board is fugly

 

Does anyone want to sell me enough clear switches to fill a 60% board?

rosewill bring out an RGB board. No doubt will be cheaper than the corsair - will likely also be unobtainable here!

 

Won't Newegg sell them? Then again, I'm not even sure if Newegg UK even retail Rosewill stuff.

 

Indeed... they are already available in USA. Of course it's cheaper than Corsair since they have Kailh switch.

 

kailh switches?! ouch. I didn't know that would be the case

Rosewill using them in lots of their boards now? So are keycool. it's massively uncool.

 

Every RGB that isn't from Corsair will be Kailh. Due to the exclusivity deal Corsair is the only place Cherry is shipping RGB MX to this year. It might change next year when the deal is up but we will have to wait and see.
While it is possible someone could use 4leg RGB led in traditional MX switch, it would require quite a bit of manual hand assembly (2 legs in led holes, 2 legs hand bent to fit in the diode holes) and I don't think that's really feasible for any commercial keyboards.

 

Do anyone of you use a wrist wrest is so what do you use ?? just curious
