Keyboards

What have you got? :) any mechanical keyboard?

Mechanical all the way!!!

I have a Corsair K70 :> cannot go back to membrane keyboards at all once you go mechanical

I think you mean membrane there ;)

Yes, I can't type on laptops well anymore hhaha.

I have currently in my possession...
- Varmilo VA88M (Cherry Mx Brown)
- Anne Pro 2 (Gateron Red) this is my dear baby for gaming
- HHKB Pro Jp (topre, BKE Light Domes) but this is just borrowed from a friend
- a custom DZ60rgb in a purple Tofu case; this is my favorite
- one more that is secret for now

Proud owner of a Corsair STRAFE MK.2 here, also still have the MK.1 somewhere along with a Logitech G710+ which I do not use any longer

I have become ruined by the custom mech keeb community. Corsair is something they don't want to touch even with prongs since its quality is comparably bad haha. Still, I like the rgb of my bf's k65 or whatever its model is :3

I mean I have enjoyed Corsair keyboards for over 4 years now and they served me greatly its quality to me is superb

I'm sure it is quite good actually, you get kind of what you pay for. But with custom keyboards and a little work yourself, you can achieve even better results. Granted, usually for more money haha.

I have a sucky laptop keyboard. Some of the keys stick, so I end up making typos. I gets frustrating. My laptop is really old as well, so that's why the keyboard sucks so bad.

I only have two hook ups though. One for my EHD, and the other for my wireless mouse (which uses a little USB thing). There's not enough room for anything else.

Im still on the hunt for a keyboard! Debating going for the corsair route vs the custom one. What I am sure though is that i want either silver or brown switches fhdksm

I would recommend red or "hako violet" switches instead of uber light silvers or grainy browns :3 both red and violet are still quite light. The red (gateron red is better than mx red) is linear, while brown/violets have a tactile bump.

If you have some monies to spare (especially if you were planning on going for a >100 USD Corsair anyways) and think that it is ok to have a 60% keyboard, I can help you find parts that are easy to put together and gives you a fantastic little beautiful thing 💗💗



If you're mostly after cute rgb in a sensation that is nicer to type on than a Corsair (and looks better hehe) but don't want to spend dat money, I still recommend ordering an Anne Pro 2 from amazon or banggood :)



Here is my white AP2 that I changed keycaps on and spray painted the case a bit on:

I've actually been reading up, and was thinking of Kaihl box whites (on a Black Anne Pro 2 bc whites for me seem to get dirty really easily) but the hako violet is also REALLY interesting gfsdkjhal
But the AP2 with that configuration above would cost me roughly $153 so what do you have in mind for the custom one :eyes:

I just do not understand why people go so mad over different keyboards. :')

I really like that they are things that you can mix and match and create yourself, that they look good, feel good and sound good :3

I can't comment on the physical 'board (dirty laptop user here), but I couldn't imagine switching back from my current layout (further customized with swapping Ctrl with Alt and putting Backspace on Caps Lock and Ctrl+h) even if it does make me look like a 70 year old man when I try to type on someone else's.

The keyboards I handle are fully programmable c: your weird layout tastes can all be accomodated with software~

There are even some odd hardware layouts that have become popular in the enthusiast community.
