Hey guys,
Hope you all doing lekker.
I am hoping someone can help me out either by advising me on what to buy or to help build the keyboard.
I need a quiet mechanical keyboard, not too bothered about the switch colour but I do prefer blue and that is what I am currently using but the keyboard makes too much noise for meetings and with working from permanently with my now wife who has moved in recently things aren't working out as is haha
I don't know too much about this stuff, so I am open to suggestions from all.
Thanks
Morning bud,
Sorry I only saw this now, otherwise I would have added my 2 cents as well
One of the things people overlook here in SA, and it's purely due to the lack of any ever really being available, is Topre Boards.
If you are looking for a board designed wholly around the typing experience, you cannot overlook these awesome devices.
HHKB make amazing boards, in almost every design, shape and colour.
They are quite readily available internationally as well. The typing experience is fantastic, and this is purely down to the specific type of switches.
Do yourself a favour, jump into a few videos about Topre, you might find yourself down a path that very few take, but the ones that do, will never turn back from.
Also do yourself a favour by looking into Ortholinear Keyboards, I have recently changed over to them and my wrist pains are out the window, and I was suffering badly from Trigger Finger on my left hand middle finger, and that is the best it's been in years.
I've also found that the customization options for Ortholinear are fantastic too. Way more than I thought there would be.
If you are looking for a true typing experience from a keyboard, and not too interested in the gamer features, although these boards are very capable gaming keyboards as well, you will be doing yourself an injustice if you don't at least take a look at these two different options.
Here are some links to check out:
Topre switches are the best thing you've never heard of. They are so rare to see in the workplace, or the gaming community, that many of you have likely never
