Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

This would be my suggestion then. Reds aren't noisy either but you basically do have to bottom them out as they're linear rather than tactile. Only slight problem is that it's out of stock at OCUK but you might be able to find it elsewhere

 

Cheers George I will keep an eye out.

 

Hey guys, I've been looking at the forum for a while and can now finally show my first mechanical keyboard. Any mods, tips etc for a mechanical keyboard noob like myself would be appreciated.

btw they are Cherry mx Reds

 

Nice, K90. I like those new Corsair's just stock aesthetically speaking, maybe changing the colour of the leds - just because; Stickers and lube' would be the only things to consider doing to the switches. Stickers hold the housing more stably and lube' will stop the scratchy feeling in presses - apparently; I'm lining up to be doing some desoldering this weekend

Edit - The stickers holding the housing together firmer, I guess is to support the slider better.

 

Stickers don't do jack They are just a pain. haha.

Apparently they stop the top from wobbling, but to date, on all my boards that are not stickered, I have never noticed the top of the switch housing wobbling

Stickers do look nice though.

 

Do you tend to hit the keys hard or float over them like a touch typist? If the former like me the quietest you'll find are clears. Browns you will bottom out and that makes a noise. You might find with clears your fingers get tired but that just pushes you to learn to stop pushing them all the way down.

I dont press too hard so will go with the browns I think. Will just keep an eye out for a deal

 

Haven't seen any previous mention of it here so I'll give everyone a heads up, on the upcoming international pot heads day there will be a Click Clack sale! More deets over on Clack Factory GH subforum

 

#smoekw33derryday

 

Isn't there a brobot sale on the same day?

 

It would seem you're right! http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56921.0

 

Anyone here in on Matt3o's Granite Set? I'm quite looking forward to it.

 

I might have acquired a set of these, neatly adorning an FC660M

 

The Leopold dyesubs? Smexy!

 

yeah those new leo dyesubs looks awesome.

 

Exactly what I thought! Call me a heathen but I chose blues because a) it's for work, and b) it's not as if I can't do something about the switches if I grow weary.

I wonder how long it will take to get it here...

 

Morning Nick. Is there no end to your talents? I was unaware of your ability to read Chines/Mandarin.

Nice looking caps though.

 

The mk50 is the donor kebab for below. Skidata2 I thought was a proper one, not a Tipro



Yesterday afternoon activities:



Now I just need, lub', clear stems and something I want to put the result on.

 

Is the Skidata2 still mech?

 

Yeah, has MX Blacks all over & re-legend-able caps; All the caps are two pieces for some reasons, so you can change the layout with pulling the whole cap. Don't know why that was necessary really, probably cheaper for them to order like that.
