Keyboard Nut Thread

[PandaAttack1]

sjoe, hearing that from a keyboard nut made me feel a bit more at ease for also feeling that way about them

I'm just happy he is only using them to transition from the DK to the Ducky.

well I just wanted to dip my toes in the water when I got this Kludge, and I am already dreading the future of my finances

 

[Andrew_Smith]

PBT keycaps really are something hey?

Glad you are satisfied with your purchase dude, you got it for a steal. A great upgrade to your DK61. Great photos to boot!

One thing, the nasty 1u bottom row caps have been noticed. -1.

Are you referring to the arrow keys' spacing?

 

[PandaAttack1]

Are you referring to the arrow keys' spacing?

Yebo yes! 1u caps in 1.25u spacing. But I am just teasing, I realise it's probably just because you are used to that layout.

Edit: I see your other board has a standard bottom row. Why Andrew, why the 1u caps???

Yeah, I also noticed it upon installing.

Yeah, so the DK61 Pro has arrows on the keycaps itself but the Ducky does not, so Ducky did include white arrow keycaps in the box but I know that they should actually be replaced by WSAD or in Ducky's case IJKL keys since you use it when holding down FN.

But since I need dedicated keys, that was the only keys I could remove and remap without messing up my typing and gaming experience.

If it does not follow the keyboard nut guidelines, I'll remove it with the standard keys with the next clean.

What do you use your arrow keys for?

 

[Off-The-Chart]

What do you use your arrow keys for?

going in directions

 

[Andrew_Smith]

What do you use your arrow keys for?

In-game settings (easier than scrolling with the mouse wheel)
University Assignments when typing
Programming

So yeah, I use my arrow keys daily, it is a must for me.

 

[eY_b0ss]

What do you use your arrow keys for?

Op, af, links en regs. Verstaan jy nou?

The in game settings I don't have an alternative for...

But for typing and programming there are unix shortcuts! Bind control to caps, and then control+f for forward, control+b for back, control+p for previous line, control+n for next line, control+d for delete....

Ja, julle puiltjie naaiers is almal grot diere.

 

[Off-The-Chart]

so, if I go for another Kludge, which switches should I go for?

currently it looks to be "RK Reds" so not sure on specs

I would definitely like to get a hot swap where I can do switches at random and testing

also wanted to know: was it said here that mechanicalkeyboards don't ship to us?

 

[Pickled_Dick]

just picked one of these up
MPA-WR530-S
super cheap, and good quality.

quite pleased

 

[Pickled_Dick]

Also when is the next group buy.... i want a melody

So did a mock of my new custom, ignore this case and plate, its just a placeholder till something better comes up.

These keycaps actually came out really nice.

Also dunno what switches I'm gonna use for this yet, its between the MX clears and MX blacks at this point, might even consider the Gateron browns. This board isn't a hotswap board though, and its all plate mounted, so if I want to change switches I might as well just make another keyboard right

My DZ60 will take the MX Blues.

Just waiting on @PandaAttack1 for long term lube results now

Joooooooh! That colourway is sick

Awesome stuff!

My testing is still going strong. Almost at the 1 month mark.

The address listed on the website seems to a residential address, and google street view checks out. No alarm bells, except that they only have the two products at the moment.

Might be worth a shot. 1k is really good for a RK.

Please stop investing in your keyboard for a few ticks and invest in a new monitor instead. That Samsung is older than the children of people on here that have children.

Monitors are temporary, keyboards are eternal! Begone with your words of blasphemy!

Or you know he could just build a new keyboard when he wants new switches. I seem to remember reading something like that a few minutes ago.

Yep, super eternal.

But my hobby is keyboards, not monitors
