Corsair k70 in Browns... I'm actually scared to try a new keyboard, I just love this one so much

[Bintazmin]

So excited for the K95 & 70 RGB.

A couple of days ago I finally got my hands on a set of DSA Dolch keycaps in an ANSI layout.

 

I'm from Denmark and therefore, unfortunately in this situation, I use an ISO layout.

I haven't been able to find any ISO and nordic add-on set for the DSA Dolch, which is a shame as I don't think the keyboard will look near as nice if it isn't complete.

Even though I haven't found any ISO and nordic keycaps for the DSA Dolch keyset yet I'll keep on searching.

Do you guys happen to know where I can buy these, new or second-hand, it doesn't really matter.

 

Because of that I'm actually considering to acquire a new keyboard, with an ANSI layout. The keyboard I had in mind is a Filco Ninja Majestouch-2 TKL w/Cherry MX Blues.

The reason I'm even considering to get an ANSI keyboard is that I just started to study software engineering and most of out courses are in English and the code is of course made in English and they never contain the special Danish/Nordic symbols like æ,ø and å.

What do you guys think of this backup plan?

In my opinion you can't go wrong with a Filco MJ2.  I love them, and own more of them then I should.

I'm completely in love with the Filco MJ2. The clean look, the subtle "filco" logo and the Ninja keycaps for a stealthy look.  :wub:

 

What do you think of the idea of using a different layout for one task, coding, programming and software work in general.

Today we actually got told that you should stick to the a-z alphabet.

Bought a K70 with Brown switches, can't wait till it arrives.

[GamerDude]

Went to the tech mall today, knew I was making a mistake, and came back with my second Novatouch and a HyperX Cloud Pro Gaming headset......

A pic of my two Novatouch keyboards, awaiting my Beumble Bee set....

[Shaqalac]

So you have two of the exact same keyboard?
 

You must really like it!

Always been a Topre guy, the Novatouch has that Topre feel, though the stock key caps give it a slightly higher pitch thock, it still sound good to me. I've heard replacing stock caps with high quality thick PBT's enhances the feel and sound. Keeping an eye out for such PBT key caps. Meanwhile, I'll use this keyboard with stock key caps for now, when I get the Bumble Bee set, I'll post a pic of my Novatouch with the Bumble Bee key set.....gonna look freaking awesome!

I want to try a topre keyboard at some point, especially the HHKB but I think it's close to impossible to get the HHKB here in Denmark or in Europe even.

And if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a keyboard it has to be good looking and I don't think there's too many topre keyboard that does.

I can't think of any other good looking topre than the HHKB and the Novatouch on top of my head.

I just bought this keyboard, how is it?

[MuffinsOfGump]

Does anyone know the best place to order keycaps in Canada?

Here you go.

Reddit's mechanical keyboard subreddit is really good when you're looking for a new keyboard and when you want to know where you can buy it.

I think the HHKB looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the layout (probably because I've never used it)

 

I'm sure I will break down and buy one some day though.

What you guys think is better Steelseries 6Gv2 or Tt eSports Meka G1?

[Phobophobic]

I'd go with the Meka G1. The short right shift on the 6Gv2 would bug the hell out of me.

What sort of layout do you normally use, ISO or ANSI?

And are you sure what switch type you want?

If you aren't I would highly recommend you to get a sampler kit and try out the different switches.

When I was looking for my first mechanical keyboard I was certain I'd get one with Cherry MX Blues, but after I got my hands on a sampler kit I completely changed my mind and went with Browns.

 

I've owned a SteelSeries 6gv2, my signature might say I still own one but I just sold it to my younger brother, with Cherry MX Blacks.

It's a solid keyboard and if you like Cherry MX Blacks, then it might be something for you.

The reason I say 'might' is because of the layout. It takes some time to adjust to it, but that shouldn't take more than a week or so, at least if you're coming from an ISO layout.

If you know that you might want to customize your keyboard down the road, then it might not be something for you as I only know one complete keycap set for the 6gv2.

I'm running a ducky shine 3 TKL, with brown switches, I used to have a Razor blackwidow 2011, in blue, but the Ducky is so much better. Very smooth keys, nothing feels tacky, works great for gaming and typing. Being a student the TKL makes life alot easier when I have to travel, or if you have small arms

[Trydar]

I got my ducky dk2108s zero blue led, mx red switch keyboard a few hours ago, and wow... this thing is pure awesomesauce!

 

I thought Slick was just being a hipster about these but I decided to give it a try and im hooked now! =D

Corsair Vengeance K95 here

[GamerDude]

Finally had some free time, rummaged thru my storeroom and found the keyset I was looking for, plugged them onto my second Novatouch....eh, pardon the bad camera angles/shots, I suck at it.

 

Anyway, I finally found some use for the Sanctuary keyset.....

[Shaqalac]

That Miami set though, it's so different and yet so sexy!

Heh, I feel like playing the theme from Miami Vice whenever I use it....
