so I knocked a can of lacroix on my das today. I took it apart, wiped all of it out (i hope) but water had gotten into the ribbon connector, and when drying it out i bent the cable back too far and i fear i might have broken some pathways. anyways, i am going to let it rest for a few days and dry out completely. in the meantime i need a backup and possibly something to use for the work side of my desk if i start docking my laptop, and decided to try out the Ducky One since they sell them locally. Just hooked it up, and i have to say i am not impressed. Mechanical keyboard guys all told me the das was either 'meh' or garbage and that i should have bought a ducky or filco instead....but this thing is completely underwhelming compared to my das pro 4. I guess ill keep it for a backup.

I have a Realforce and a Leopold keyboard. Does the HHKB feel better than either of those?
Your chances of finding dedicated meida keys in a tenkeyless are pretty low. Many tenkeyless keyboards have media key functionality available through the function layer instead. Once you figure out what switches you'd like, I'd recommend Ducky One TKL or Cooler Master ProKeys S. If ANSI layout is ok, Leopold FC750R is nice too. If you absolutely need those dedicated media keys, Corsair K63 might be your only option. I would say that Topre is absolutely not worth the money, and it will probably be quite difficult to find a Topre keyboard to try in Finland regardless.I got that classic razer blackwidow with cherry blue switches since 2011 and I have been thinking every now and then for year at least what kind of keyboard I want to be my next keyboard.
For me gaming > typing, mostly fps games.
You might see reason here why I dont really like those blue switches and want some softer/easier keys.
I want this next keyboard to be my "endgame" and not planning to replace it until it breaks.
Things I want that keyboard to be:
- Sturdy and good quality
- Good switches for gaming also should be "silent" (cherry black/red/brown or topre?)
- TKL maybe and get some external keypad for keypadding needs sometimes.
- Simple nonGAMER look, can be a bit special looking but not over the top
- Some extra media/macro keys would be nice but not 100% needed
- Backlights would be nice but not 100% needed
Hit me with suggestions, I know I should find and test topre somewhere before deciding I guess.

Varmilo makes nice numpads, Maxgaming sells the VA22M and CandyKeys sell the VA21M.

It's too bad that they don't have doubleshot keycaps. An ISO-layout version of the FC750R would be nice.You can also find ISO Leopold though their availability are kinda random.
I think Cooler Master's RGB keyboards have ABS keycaps. I believe the PBT keycaps have lasered legends. I recommended Cooler Master at first because I've had good experiences with their keyboards.Any other info why CM over some other TKL RGB "simple" keyboards?
Also do you know what keycaps this CM have? Only thing I found is PBT, but is it doubleshot?
You're in luck as there is a UK-based store that sells Varmilo keyboards! You could get a Varmilo VA88M customized from capsunlocked. It would be fairly expensive at £165, but the cost does include import fees from having the keyboard delivered to the UK from China.Short of building my own keyboard (which I don't have anywhere near the skills or technical know-how to do), is there anywhere to buy a keyboard with MX Clears in the UK? Ideally full sized, TKL if not. I like the feeling of clear switches on the switch tester I bought (as much as I can gauge from a single key, at least), but I cant find anywhere in the UK selling keyboards with clears, apart from a single keyboard available at KeyboardCo, but it's a 60%.
I think my only option is importing a Code keyboard, but at near $60 for the cheapest shipping, on top of $155 for the keyboard itself and before import fees, it's over what I'd like to spend.
Ideally I'd like somewhere UK based to order from, but I'm not sure if there is anywhere currently.
I agree with this sentiment 100%. Anyone considering a keyboard purchase really ought to give Topre a try. They're fantastic.Didn't realize we had thread for Keyboards too!
Just throwing in my recommendations for Topre, I've used few mechanicals before this and Topre just feels like typing on a cloud. Been using it for year now and it's always so good to come back to it, after typing with lesser keyboards at school etc.
Yup, before Topre Realforce I had Noppoo with Blue switches, then Ducky with Reds after deciding to go all out and it was so worth it.I agree with this sentiment 100%. Anyone considering a keyboard purchase really ought to give Topre a try. They're fantastic.
I do quite a bit of typing and gaming and they're the best switch I've used for both.
Did you grab the Version 5 or the old white one?Just received my Matias Laptop Pro.
Oh my God, this thing...it's the perfect keyboard for my Mac.
I love it so far. I'd heard stories about keys sticking, but haven't experience it on mine. Aside from how good it feels (and it feels great), I'm more impressed by how quiet it is; the buttons feel almost spongy, thought not it a bad way. It's actually quieter than typing on the laptop itself.Did you grab the Version 5 or the old white one?
Edit: Nevermind, new one. How you liking it? It's on my want list.
Awesome. Would love some pictures of yours if you are inclined to share.I love it so far. I'd heard stories about keys sticking, but haven't experience it on mine.

Also, I owned the white one, but returned it in favor of this model. The white one definitely had more click, and while I actually prefer that to the quietness of this model, the bonus of bluetooth makes this a better buy IMO. Highly recommended.
Does anyone have an opinion on this Corsair K65 lux? I've been eyeing it for awhile but can't seem to pull the trigger. https://www.bestbuy.com//site/corsa...nical-gaming-keyboard/5092005.p?skuId=5092005
I have the one with the 10 key. When it works, it's fantastic. But the quality isn't there. Keyboard will randomly stop working. And if you move your keyboard even a tiny bit, you're screwed because the USB connector on the keyboard is flimsy beyond recognition. If you don't position it exactly right, it's not going to power on.What do you guys think about this one, catched my eye yesterday:

Is this keyboard any good? Anyone tried it here?

Looking for something cheap that I can carry around.

I will not be buying another Cooler Master keyboard.
All I wanted was a mechanical chiclet keyboard, and now I can get one.
