Mechanical Keyboard Club!

Dave :)

I’ve got a laptop but thinking bout getting monitor. Would the Razer blackwidow chroma v2 be a strong call? (For a keyboard)

Stupid call rather than a strong one.

Have seen this Reddit post?

I did and that is what got me in trouble in the first place. Used that firmware and it screwed my keyboard up. The top three rows of the keyboard are now the lower three rows and the lower three rows are non-responsive. Realized this when pressing ESC and the letter A appeared on the screen. I think the 7 was like a B or something so it screwed it up good. Thanks anyway for that but I think I still need help.

Dark Side of the Moon & Cherry Killer

FC660C + Nobauer Heavy 6 Aperture / DZ60+KBD5Degree+MaxkeySA

 

 

Both boards are gorgeous!

But damn it, I had a build in works named Dark Side of the Moon (using black on black PBT varmilo caps, too). :P Gonna fall back to alternate name, Scura (Italian for "dark", but also an edition of the Lotus Exige that was matte black... that's my dream car).

 

Just put an order in for 3D printing for custom case design. It's going to match my custom SFF computer case, which I'm also working on. Both will be painted in black 3.0, so there won't be a darker computer or keyboard combo... unless someone has access to vantablack. Either going to house blue Alps (have a clean set on hand) or new SMK 2nd gens (MX mount), haven't decided yet. Putting order in for carbon fiber plate some time this week. Got in on the ADK18 numpad group buy, so you can tell I'm going for a vintage Apple aesthetic.

No, it's NightFox.

Very nice. I actually just ordered a White Fox Aria, it's coming in a few days.
Matteo is a good designer, I like everything I've seen of his so far (especially his keycaps, though).

Not yet, but I've looked at the XD96.

they are priced very nicely, especially for the cheaper sandwich-style plate+midlayer combo

Not a big fan of that case tbh... I think I'd prefer something a bit higher profile.

Hmmmm. I have a huntsman elite by Razer. With Opto-Mechanical switches. Was this a poor choice or a good one?

This was SUPPOSED to be a quick status update about my thoughts on Topre, but ended up being pretty long form. Figured I'd link it here for anyone else wondering about Topre: https://linustechtips.com/main/profile/510750-den-fi/?status=248241&type=status

 

 

 

Interesting. I've seen Niz mentioned before, but forgot about it. I like Topre a lot, will likely get one of those keyboards in the future. Even if it's 90% of the quality or feeling of Topre, much lower cost would justify trying it.

Yeah, that's why I picked one up. It's hard to recommend someone go out and spend $230, but $130 is VERY doable for as much as the people I deal with type.
