Was cleaning out and reorganizing my storeroom, take the opportunity to snap a pic of these:

 

If I ever get close to having these many I'm sure I'll have a hard time going an entire day using just one :P

I only have a third that amount and I already have trouble just using one in a day.

 

EDIT: and I have two more in the post, one of which is a Model M. Cannot wait for that to get here.

LOL! :D  I actually have 4 keyboards on my two desks, to save space, I use either TKL or smaller keyboards. Right now, I use a Leopold FC660C on my main rig, Ducky DK9087G2 Pro MX Black (original white PBT and Spongebob keycaps) for my 3rd rig, a HHKB Pro 2 for my 2nd rig, and a Leopold FC660M MX Clear. I'd prolly be using a full sized keyboard for each of my desk soon since I like the idea of using my Trigger MX Green as well as the Ducky DS3 Yellow Ed with MX White. I :wub:  these rarer switch types!

not yet, shipping to my country is just unbearable

I ordered SPH R4 modifier fixer set (the original one has some production fault where the length of some modifier isn't right)

and that set will go to my filco with incoming TEX case

anyway, I ordered them on May...

yes...

May....

and see the date now, it has not come yet...

Where do people buy their O-rings from? I'm getting a lot of complaints while I'm on skype with my mates that my keyboard is too loud.

 

I've tried to reposition the microphone (Blue Yeti) and adjust the microphone settings, both without much improvement.

I think the real problem is that I bottom out, especially when playing games and when it gets very intense.

Wasdkeyboards has the best ones. Get the blue ones (in my opinion).

Part of the reason you picking it up is the type of mic it is. Also its on the desk right next to the keyboard and it'd not all that close to you.

I use the blues myself the o rings that is well. On a cherry mx blue switch it will take out the bottom out noise and it will lower the travel distance. It does limit the noise that comes from the switch but enough to really not be heard by a mic that is debatable it still will be but I would suggest something like push to talk whenever possible. Or even doing mic recording after the fact so that you can get a more clean recording anyway.

yea itll lower it a little but thats only if/ when you bottom out. I and my friends got used to it quite quickly and now i much prefer it over standard. You could try the thinner red ones but they dont reduce the noise as much.

Other things you can do are lube your switches and fill the inside of you keyboard with something to dampen reverb. The trampoline mod could help as well.

I have a friend with a CM Storm of some variety, and while I really like his keyboard, the price was too high for me. I already own the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth (2014), and I already love the switches. So I bought a Razer Blackwidow Tournament Stealth (2014) for portability. Got to prevent carpal tunnel, right :) Enjoy some pics.

Taking shots of your keyboard at weird angles doesn't make it look better smh.

I have a 2019 macbook pro with 64gb of ram and my gaming pc has been in the closet since 2018

Uh yeah, most of the time it does.

I agree. Also top down is probably just about the worst angle.

Also taking pictures of my kmac2 it is a bitch because most times the lighting isn't right to get its true color which is a real dark military green. Which looks amazing with my black on black dye sube pbt keycaps.
