what?

>>53985886
It's a wooden pipe I got from a tobacco shop where I used to buy tobacco stuff. I used to smoke tobacco in it. I stopped smoking tobacco some time ago.

Reminder that owning artisan keycaps makes you a huge autist.

>>53986029
Yo, so small question. I am an autist but dislike the shit out of artisan keycaps. so whats up with me

>>53986051
Mental illness AND lack of bling. Worst of both worlds.

>>53986064
but I do like pokemon and own several nintendo products. :(

Outemu black in transparent housing.

I expected to hate the stock ABS keycaps on my QFR-i but they're honestly not that bad. Are cheap IKBC PBT keycaps that much better?

Is quickfire rapid still the go-to keyboard for starters?

>>53986259
I like mine very much
I'm gonna get the MasterKeys S when they come into stock

why should i avoid mx red switch?

>>53986291
There's nothing wrong with red.

>>53986374
are those gaterons?

>>53986399
Yup.

>>53986409
That the memeforce?

>>53986409
amazing place man where are you from

>>53986420
Yup.

This was prior to disassembly.

>>53986426
Thanks, I'm from Switzerland.

>>53986409
When are you going to start your split keyboard design? Isn't that what you got your gaterons for iirc?

>>53986433
running a hackntosh?

>>53986291
You don't have to. It just gives you no feedback when registers the keypress. It's a matter of taste.

It gets a bad rep after being heavily marketed as a gamer switch for no real reason. No really, it was just invented decades after its siblings and they needed a way to market it.
How do you market slightly expensive computer parts, accessories and peripherals to somewhat ordinary consumers? Gamers will gobble that shit up if you make it cool enough.

Get whatever switch you want to. No one switch is universally better.

>>53986433
Is the PCB really orange, or is it just red and the colours are fucked?

Hey everybody, I thinking about ordering gaterons from massdrop. most curious about yellows but most likely about to buy greens.
any experience with gaterons? wich should I get/ look into only got money for 1 set atm

>>53986478
Yes, I have tried a number of Gateron switches.

What you should get comes down to preference. What experience do you have with MX-style switches?

>>53986436
I've put my split keyboard design off for the moment since I'm too busy for the next half year to do that, and also because I'll be starting training to become an electrical engineer, so I'd like to do that once I've got enough know-how to design a PCB myself and make it extra fancy.

>>53986471
It's red.

>>53986443
Yes.

>>53986478
Their linears are smooth as fuck, get them if you want some linears.

Is it possible to fix this?
The cables seem to be in the opposite way on the Filco cables compared to normal

>>53986496
only mx brown. not the biggest fan of those*

>>53985854
>he smokes

>>53986496
But main question how did gateron black compare with yellow/ and how are gateron greens as main switch

>>53986496
I just ordered Gateron clears for my Planck, I've never had linear switches and I'm thinking 35g might be too light.

I'm used to cherry browns

>>53986555
man not being able to read must really fucking suck, but hey at least you get to post ebin meme's :^)
>>53986021

>>53986745
Black and yellow are almost identical. Greens are popular amongst enthusiasts, but you have to like a heavier switch. This is why it's hard to predict what you, personally, will like.

>>53986870
Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for too, though willing to up that budget a bit for the right kb. Anyone got any suggestions?

>>53985854
That pastebin is disgusting.

It's just the same autistic fagot imposing his preferences on this circle jerk under the guise of "many people consider", attempting to make his individual opinion seem like it's supported by others.

Is there anywhere that does similar customisation to WASD Keyboards but doesn't mold their stuff out of actual shit?

>Many people consider Gateron's linear switches to be better than Cherry's offerings

5 or 6 people consider Gateron's linear switches to be better than Cherry's offerings. Unfortunately, they pretty much have nothing else to do but post here so it seems like their opinion is more prolific than it actually is.

>>53987127
Well they are smoother

>>53987137
no they're not.

>>53986993
I think black is heavier at the top, but both are rated at the same force for actuation. Like I said, basically identical.

>>53987091
IMSTO does custom dyesubs.

This board is so strange. Its a monoprice, right?
I still dont get it, does it have two plates?

>>53987314
gaming keyboards MOSTLY dont focus on quality.
they have cheap abslike shit caps, rgb problems (because rgb makes it pro gaming), cheap cable etc.....

>>53986098
>>53986112
Most autists do have ocd though, a cousin of mine is autistic and if he sees something partly broken, he will destroy it. He once broke all the legs off a table, broke the "plate" (dunnu how it's called) in pieces and neatly stacked it all in a fairly large cardboard box, taped it all up and threw it in a dumpster. Nobody but his parents ever dare to stop him as he's really strong too, I have witnessed him punch a pretty thick door out of it's frame because the lock mechanism wasn't aligned correctly causing the door to stay open unless you locked it.

Key will only actuate once I hit it on the side of the keycap and press hard. Cherry Red. What is the reason?

>>53987483
>Most autists do have ocd though
no, just because your cousin is like that doesnt mean most of us are like that
a lot of us like it anti ocd too

>>53987158
Yes, they are.

Anyone who here who has to type for long periods of time have any recommendation? I know blue or brown switches are preferred, but I'm wondering if anything else factors into this.

I have a poker, and my fingers get fatigued after just a few pages of typing.

>>53987345
>The Op of this general is always the same person

>>53987365
lol. That is so spot on.

>>53987605
Stop bottoming out.

>>53987622
Yes yes anon, on to responding with image macros and greentext, not to mention the obvious samefagging.

>>53987636
I'd rather get a keyboard that's less cramped and more comfortable for typing than focusing on how hard I'm typing when I'm working.

>>53987507
Well he's at the far end of the spectrum, he googles pictures of everything that's caught his attention everyday, if he hears an ad on the radio where they repeat a product's name a few times, he's going to be googling it that night. He has difficulty communicating without getting too emotional, he can't easily form correct sentences unless he plans what he's going to say like 3-4 minutes before actually saying it. He also likes throwing eggs at the floor too much, if he opens the fridge and finds eggs in it, he will ruin the floor/carpet. One thing that amazes me though is that his memory is unmatched, he can easily memorise whole songs, he can also assemble any furniture from places like IKEA in under 10 minutes. If you do have autism, it's probably not even close to his.

>>53987647

>he's accusing others of samefagging.

>>53987655
>cramped

>>53987605
Some people would probably disagree with me, but I honestly like linear switches for typing.

After a while the click and bump becomes a novelty, and I think it was started in the first place to "learn" to not bottom your keys out. Well you should "know" how to type if you do a lot of typing, and it'll let you type a little faster and easier.
Linear switches make those 'bouts of typing extremely fast and accurately, feel like butter

>>53987873
Sounds like you need to be killed. At least he's happy, he doesn't see the bad side of things, if he does he obliterates the whole thing, but that's a whole other subject. He does get pretty nervous when he has to talk to someone he isn't really familiar with, but if he's comfortable he spreads joy everywhere he passes. He'll stare into your eyes until you notice and he'll start laughing his ass off when you do making you laugh too, if you like it or not. He is also extremely obedient when he's bored, but when he's busy with something there's no force in the universe that can make him do something.

it looks cheesy and cheap, like ricer lights on a 91 civic. stop trying to feel better about your poor life decisions by samefagging

about to buy this guys (choosing Cherry MX Browns)

Never had a mechanical keyboard before, am I in for a meme? Is it actually worth spending £70 over?

>>53988682
Have you tried it out in-store or otherwise?

my two full sizes. I haven't used the rosewill in forever because I realized I don't like browns. Have MX Greens and clears in 60% format.

>>53988702
I don't think theres a store nearby where i could try switches and testers are really expensive over here.

Based on description I think browns are the best for me (don't want a loud keyboard but also play RTS/FPS games and want feedback when typing).

>>53988682
The board is equivalent in quality to most other mainstream Cherry boards (Filco etc). The price is excellent so I guess go for it. FWIW I'm enjoying mine with orings, though the keycaps are not the best quality (though nothing has good keycaps at this pricepoint, you have to go double the price to get something with good keycaps included).

>>53988401

I know right? It's like, I see all of these kids walking around with out a fedora, drinking blended scotches and sometimes I just want to scream at them.

Looking for something that will last me awhile

>>53988803
I don't really care for cap quality so long as the keys arent wobbly and its harder to misclick when typing (using a steelseries apex raw GAYMEN keyboard and the space key is driving me insane). I just want to be able to type more comfortably and have more fun from pressing keys when playing Dota.

>>53988918
Is it better or worse in your opinion?

>>53988919
Backlighting is for manchildren who still live with their parents. I listen to Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, so I'm far too sophisticated to use backlighting. I have refined tastes.

>>53988965
Cherry MX stems have a small amount of play, you can't get around that. The QFR-i is using Cherry stabilizers but the implementation is good and they don't feel mushy. Pressing the spacebar at the edge feels almost the same as pressing it in the center.

>>53989018

>>53989088

Personally I don't have a problem with gaymen brands, even if their stuff is a little more expensive than it should be.
That is IF their stuff doesn't have some major flaws, like the shitty bottomrow in Corsair/Razer boards. If those boards were at least dirt cheap, but they are pretty much the most expensive retail boards.
There is not a single reason to get the K70 over some CM or even a vintage board. Quality isn't better in any way, it only looks a little more flamboyant and offers RGB-backlight.
If you are willing to live with the flaws and pay extra for nothing but some LEDs and floating keys, you are nothing but a complete idiot.
>>53986051
Autism isn't binary man. Congrats, you're on the lower end of the scale.

>>53988781
Best buys and walmarts would be a good proxy. I've seen mechanicals from Razor and Corsair in both stores, and you can pretty much infer browns, reds, and blues from those samples. Razor calls them green and orange but you get the idea of a blue and brown MX, basically the same.

Browns are pretty inoffensive. Good gateway switch. You won't be wowed by typing on the brown, but try and go back to a rubber dome or a scissor switch-- you won't be able to, they'll feel so bad in comparison.

>>53989206
Some people may use the macro keys,
Also, razor black widow is like 85 at amazon, making it a very good deal, but I guess in theory your argument took that into account. So... would you a Black Widow over a das or code given the Razor keyboard is actually cheaper?

Would you go razor black widow over Das?

The k70 is really overpriced. Wow. Didn't know it was that bad. Doesn't it also use two USB ports? Terrible. Terrible.

That color is pretty fresh but the green and white keycap in your previous picture just didn't work for me. But then again, that's why its your keyboard and not mine.

cool shit, thanks

What do you guys think of the Planck Keyboard on massdrop?

>>53988965
Rapid-i has a design flaw, where leds die really fast. Its actually a manufacturer issue, pretty much every board they made with white or blue leds suffer from the same issue.

Also, their rubber coating case is fucking disgusting. Impossible to clear and atracts a lot of dust.

The regular quickfire (the non backlit version or the stealth version) is way better. It has better soldering, much better quality control, and this ones (not the rapid-i) are from costar, the same manufacturer as filcos.

>>53989799
Are you talking about the DD front sight? I've had a buyer lined up for bother sights for about 25 bucks below retail for awhile now but he recently caved in which is why I turned down your offer.

That being said I really want to sell them as a pair; do you known how hard it is to sell just a rear sight? I've tried and it ain't fun.

>>53989842
ok qb i've enjoyed your posts but this is too far

>>53989872
sure dude, I bet you had him lined up for a year

what up family

GUYS I need some advice, I posted here once and I've made more research since then

Basically I want ISO and that's a pain in the ass, but I still really don't want to switch to ANSI because of my special snowflake language and characters
So basically my plan was to order custom keycaps from maxkeyboards, then get a base set from pimpkeyboard and only use the letters because I like the font

I have two questions:
- Are maxkeyboards keys any good?
- Would mixing keycaps from different sources like that be an issue?

Thanks in advance, any input is appreciated

I have a black case and I want to into new keycaps
what color/combo should I do

>>53990493
forgot to mention its a tenkeyless

>>53990454
>Are maxkeyboards keys any good?
Their PBT is ok, althou not as nice as thick PBT. Their ABS thou is not that different from wasd.

>Would mixing keycaps from different sources like that be an issue?
Depends on the profile. max and wasd both use OEM profile, so you should be ok. Mixing OEM profile with cherry, dsa, sa or anything else would suck.

>>53990493
black pbt with black letters

>>53990123

>>53990454
>Are maxkeyboards keys any good?
Their PBT is ok, although not as nice as thick PBT. Their ABS though is not that different from wasd.

What would be the be the best switches for typing?

>>53990524
Are their custom printed caps PBT or ABS?
Max and wasd are sadly the only two places that I've found making custom ISO caps

>>53990560
greetech browns with 150g gold springs

>>53990566
ABS.

What ISO language are you trying to achieve? You can find many iso-uk printed sets.

>>53990560
reds

>>53990596
>What ISO language are you trying to achieve?
Frog. For some reason there are a lot more Nordic ISO options than AZERTY

>>53990454
You can do an ISO-ANSI mix you know?
>>53989472
If it comes down to these three I'd get the Code over the Das and Razer comes last.
Reason:
Razer has that retarded bottom-row. It makes a keyboard that could in theory be a lifetime companion a throw away product
Das are assholes, reduced quality with every newer keyboard, while maintaining the price
Code is pretty good. I'd get that if possible, or a WASD. Just not with clears, since they are reported to ping when using clears and I'm freaking allergic to pinging.
Are you in Burgerland? Then a Ganss would be a nice idea as well.

>>53990694
>You can do an ISO-ANSI mix you know?
What do you mean?

>>53990707

>>53990716

Frog characters are my biggest concern tbqh

>>53990740
you use the same frog layout, but with a ansi keyboard

so your µ/* key goes to the \ key
and the shitposting key... well that might be weird

>>53990740

p e r k e l e

>>53990839
>you use the same frog layout, but with a ansi keyboard
I mean, sure, but where do I get the caps

>>53990864
memorize it

or get some printed caps from WASD, they do ISO

>>53990864
you get ansi mods, which you get literally everywhere, and some vintage doubleshots/dyesubs from cherry in your iso. Problem solved

>>53990896
>get some printed caps from WASD, they do ISO
I know that, but everyone on here said their caps were absolute shit so I called off the idea
I'd like to memorize them, and I got some blanks from massdrop for when I know it for realsies, but in the meantime I'm gonna need them printed

>>53990933
well they're just thin printed ABS
so the legends will wear off

i notice maxkeyboards does front printing, so those wont wear off

>>53990975
I'll keep that idea on the back burner then
>>53990903
I don't think I'm ever going to find vintage keys in my ISO for cheap, I might as well have some new ones printed

>>53991074
you could learn US-INTL
then your keycap options are unlimited :^

>>53991096
That layout seems like a clusterfuck kek, I'll never remember that no matter how hard I try

Is wasd really okay though? Their caps seems really expensive for thin ABS

>>53991178
not really many options for custom printing
keep your hands clean and your fingernails short, and they should last long enough

What is a good ten keyless keyboard for somebody who has never had a mechanical keyboard? I want to get one but I have no idea what to get

From what you guys say, are red caps the best?

>>53990543
>Assault rifles
All I have is airshit, ask QB :^

>>53991267
I'll go for it then, they only need to last long enough for me to learn how to touch type anyway
Thanks!

Where can I get some PBT DSA modifiers that have symbols but no text?

Where can I buy a ducky in the UK? I want a ducky mini but I can't find anywhere that has them in stock.

I can't decide between a DS4 and a K70. On the one hand I really like the colours on the DS4, but the K70 is aluminium while the DS4 is plastic. Can anyone suggest anything I might have missed that would sway me one way or another?

>>53991899
Shine has a steel mounting plate.

>>53991899
Corsairs are metal on the outside while duckies are metal on the inside. It's what's inside that counts.

serious question: how the fuck do you function without arrow keys? Are you all vim 1337 h4xX0rZ?

>>53991978
use the mouse :'^

>>53991899

Not even a difficult decision there. K70 has gaymer shit quality caps and nonstandard layout, so you're pretty much stuck with them.

Ducky has way more switch choices and subtle backlighting than most, too.

We should create a "why not Corsair" Pastebin.
>>53991899
Ducky all the time.

Does a board with island keys, backlighting and MX greens exist?

>>53992237
No. Build your own.

>>53992237
Why do you want backlighting? Like, is it an aesthetic choice? Not trying to be a dick here but I'm assuming nobody in this thread looks at the keyboard while they're typing. We all know about the little bumps on the f and j keys. The only scenario I can come up with in which you actually need to look at the keys is while you're learning to touch type or learning a new layout, and I don't really see why you need to do this in the dark. And if the reason is aesthetic, what's going on here? Why should random stuff that has no reason to glow be glowing anyway? Like, do you use the keyboard as ambient lighting? Are lady friends impressed by the lit-up keyboard? Are you using a dedicated macro keyboard? Please explain, I really don't understand this phenomenon.

>>53993143
This, backlight is a meme. And its worthless with decent keycaps cause u can't see shit.

>>53993143
Not the anon your are replying to, but I like to use my keyboard onehanded sometimes (f.e. volume adjustments). Finding different layers with maximum ease is pretty nice about backlit keyboards.
Also some keyboards look pretty nice with backlight or other LED shennanigans like the one on the Orion.

My computer isn't recognising my keyboard. The caps lock lights up when I plug it in but nothing else happens. I also can't flash any firmware onto it. How to fix?

>>53993203

but muh razer zone cred demands it

>>53993305
PS2? Or USB?

>>53993305

What kind of keyboard, and which type of plug does it have?

>>53993279

Also 6 months til I get used to the layout

Has anyone had experience with the MK Disco keyboard? I'm interested in getting a keyboard with customization back lighting, but I don't want to buy it if the keyboard itself is shit.

Anyone have any recommended keyboards like this?

>>53991574
KEK. I remember when I played.

>>53991574
Yeah it's pretty hilarious.

>>53994562
Never played airshit and I actually hate most people who do. I bought it along time ago, fired it once, and put it in a closet where it's sat ever since.

>>53994562

>SON WHY ARE YOU OTHER TAKING PICTURES OF YOUR STUPID ASS KEYBOARD OUTSIDE? GET BACK IN HERE BEFORE THE NEIGHBORS SEE YOU

kinda leaning towards the poker

>>53995118
I don't like reds, but pok3r is nice too.

Can anyone recommend a keyboard that doesn't have the number pad or arrow keys, has lighting, preferably white, that doesn't look childish and that doesn't make a lot of clicking noise?

>>53995201
pok3r

This Magicforce has Cherry MX browns, which are really good German switches that don't click, and it has white backlighting.

This Magicforce has Cherry MX browns, which are really good German switches that don't click, and it has white backlighting.

>>53987605
I found two things bother me after long periods:

1. Heavy switches.
2. Hard bottoming out.

While there are light MX switches, they are all harsh if you bottom out. I don't bottom out that much, but if I am doing a full day of typing it starts to bother me after a while.

O-Rings help with this, in addition to making the keyboard quieter overall, but they reduce travel distance as well. I use MX-Reds + O-rings at work.

From my experience so far, my best typing experience overall is with Topre. Regular 45g Topre is very smooth and easy to type on, and because of the design you get full key travel without a hard bottom. I use Topre at home.

>>53995441

But this has arrow keys. I want a smaller keyboard that doesn't have arrow keys that is quiet and that has white backlighting.

>>53995441
>$70

Jesus. That's a good deal.

>>53990139
I like that color on the keycaps. Solid scheme.

You literally can't make this shit up.

>>53995858

And yet people will still buy into that horseshit.
Makes me want to buy a 3d printer, and sell fisher-price caps to bellends all day.

>>53995858
>post supply-demand curve on gh

Picked up this badboy a while ago. what kind of switches are these? or are they switches at all?

>>53995936
Slider over dome, probably.

I don't into guns and that's a weird angle.
I like the dipper on it though.

While shopping for blank keycaps, I found this website:
>http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-pbt-abs-blank-keycap-sets/

Unfortunately, when I select the DSA Color drop down menu, I get very confused about the acronyms that are being used to differentiate between similar color options and I can't find an explanation of the acronyms being used. Google isn't helping.

>blue (BCT)
>blue (BDJ)
>gray (GMC)
>etc

Does anyone know where I can find a resource that I can use to ascertain the difference between these various acronyms?

>>53996757
Quickfire Rapid-i if you want Cherry MX Browns

>>53996824

http://pimpmykeyboard.com/colors/

Stick to PBT or SA profile ABS if you want quality from these guys.

>>53996865
An interesting opinion and I appreciate the advice, but it doesn't answer my question.

What do the acronyms in the DSA Color drop down menu mean?

>>53996887
read the chart and match the three letters with the colors on that chart to see what color you get.

rub those two cells together harder.

>>53996887

Wow, you must be literally retarded.

>>53996937
What chart?

>>53996972
Starting to think you don't even have two cells to rub together in the first place.

>>53996972
Ignore those assholes. The chart you are looking for is on a different page on that website.

At least he provided me with useful information. All you did was tell me to stick to PBT, which I already was going to do anyway.

Your information was useless. He provided me with a link to a chart that explains the acronyms.

>>53997103

Can't tell if blind or a talking rock

>>53997087
Look, I know where to find pimpmykeyboard.com dumbass. The link to the blank keycaps page was in my question, so I obviously know that the website exists.

>>53997034
Thanks again for your help anon.

>>53997143

just so we have proof on how stupid you are

>>53997168

The only thing that proves is that he was momentarily unobservant and didn't notice that you posted a link to a different page of pimpmykeyboard.com.

But that pic also proves that you're a condescending prick, but that isn't temporary trait, is it anon.

>>53997034

One of these I'll do a proper cable mod and get some fancy keycaps, but for now I'm satisfied with this.

>>53997034
You're doing the lord's work, anon.

I recently bought http://dro.ps/b/sVUr4Ns and it'll be arriving in a couple days. Is there such thing as custom keycaps for Matias Quiet Click switches? Otherwise I'll just have the front-printed caps, which seem just meh

I keep falling for the meme

>>53997635

Holy fucking shit, that's almost as bad as the 70 dollar autismcaps

Enjoyed it so much I got one for my brother.

Man, I really like my browns, no matter how much others disparage them. Typing on them feels awesome.

>>53999563
now try something else than browns.

>>53999572
I've tried blues, blacks and buckling springs. I prefer browns overall and they are extremely nice to type with.

Hi /mkg/ first time posting here, so I hope I don't fuck up, here goes:

>Budget
Well I live in Africa. and the cheapest reputable one I've come across has been R1800, so $120 or so, I guess at the max I would be willing to go to $150.
>Location
As specified above, I live in Africa, South Africa to be exact, so I'm well aware that I won't have a variety to choose from, like a BSA does.
>Preferred switch type
Quite flexible on this, but i guess also depends on availability for stock here. I don't think I'd be too well-fitted for red switches, I don't want the keyboard exclusively for gaming, I'm a very junior software dev, so that response you get from typing helps me. Was thinking of perhaps brown or blues.
>Layout
Probably ISO, seeing as that is all I have ever used
>Form factor
100% only please, I use numpad a lot for debugging
>Backlight
Not opposed to it, but like I said, it all depends on availability
>Previous/current keyboards
Only ever owned membrane ones, and they were all the generic Microsoft ones, so I am virginal when it comes to this. Was leaning towards Corsair Strafe RGB (as it comes with a wrist-pad, which I would like to have if at all possible), but would be keen to hear what people's opinions on other accessible boards would be.

>>53999959
Cant help you atm with the keyboard. But a wristrest could be made with towels, cardboard, wood etc. Basically the most used ones are diy cheap supply ones. A numpad can be bought besides a tkl or 60% or whatever. I own a goldtouch numpad as like it better to have the numpad a different angle/place than my keyboard.

Bought a used wasd code tkl for $100.
Should I have bought a ducky instead?

>tfw I just want the work day to be over so I can go home and finish my build

>>53999563

>>54000293
if it has the switches you want then good, you'll need new caps though. if it fits your taste then saving 50 bucks is a good call.

CM Storm Quickfire XT Cherry MX Brown. I like the keyboard just fine, but the usb connection on the back of the keyboard gets loose too often and fucks up what I'm doing. I'm not about to go in there and solder the thing. If I got the same keyboard I'd worry the same thing would happen. Is there something similar with a more secure connection?

>>54001100
So instead of fixing one small and simple problem you're just going to buy a new board? Top kek anon.

>>54000939
if you can't find blues locally your best bets are either uk amazon, german amazon/ebay or finnish resellers. igauniafag here.

>>54001194
Simple for you, maybe. I don't know shit about soldering or have the tools required.

>>54001280
find someone else to do it for you, then. your local electrical components shop can probably hook you up.

>>54000899
I'm lubing my whites while replacing the bottom housing with pcb housing and removing the plate. And see if I can use ISO shift + ANSI enter on it (kc60)

>>54001321
This, fixing it sounds like $10 tops.

>>54001256
Everything locally is overpriced.
I'm thinking about getting this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00W02J4DA/ref=twister_B00W02IXKU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

>>54001476
the poker is a solid pick, the stock caps are also good enough. i don't like their appearance, but that's 100% preference.

>>54001280
well you can either go to any computer shop and ask them to do a $10 soldering job
or you can be stubborn in your ignorance and buy a $100+ new keyboard

>>53991978
