Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

Soon the Carnival Cougar will live once more with clear Gaterons installed

That will be a special day for Bit-tech.

 

That it will. I wonder if we should, as mech nerds, all have a 'Carnival Cougar' avatar to commemorate the special occasion?

 

And it has to be animated.

 

anyone got one or two MX Browns they could give / sell me for a quick repair?

Thanks

 

Whoa there... it was a joke, not even remotely a complaint (I thought all the exclamation marks made that pretty clear) and seriously, wtf is with that childish comment about my boards and caps? I thought this thread was for keyboard enthusiasts?

 

Sorry, in hindsight - it WAS childish!

Without doubt the nicest looking switch on the planet. very light though, I can't use them stock, need dif springs in them.

 

Decided to order some more granite caps at the last minute. Managed to stop myself getting more than I need to cover boards, just picked up a numpad and the specialty keyboards kit, which should work nicely on the JD40.

 

Miami twice and Hack'd by geeks has all landed and been posted from the states, uk and some row orders are on there way to the UK

 

Oh dear. Pink keyboard in the office, much?

 

your comma is infuriating, me.

you'll hopefully be in receipt of a granite sgi board soon

 

Got a purple blacklit Ducky Shine III TKL.

Having not used MX blues that much instead having used MX Browns and buckling springs I can say that even with the noise I far prefer MX Blues over the browns. Especially considering the fact that TKL boards are rather small.

My only complaint is that I forget the numpad doesn't exist and that blues are still a tad softer than I would like. That said, They're not as stiff as Buckling springs still. Perhaps MX Greens?

 

Greens sound like the sweet-spot for you. I certainly enjoyed typing on my last greens board. It's a shame they are still relatively hard to come by, although probably marginally easier in the States.

 

Greens if you like the click. If thats not key to you, try clears or tactile grey is it's the bump you like and hanker for a heavier switch

 

I'd be interested to see how that turns out, actually. The only worry I'd have doing the same with my Poker is that the LEDs actually seem to produce a fair bit of heat... wouldn't want them irreversibly melted onto my switches :/

 

They're really, really bright [emoji14] Got them on eBay...

 

Seems Corsair have released a new FW to finally give the RGB keyboards 16.8M colours.
