Hey can you bully me about my choice of keyboards? Wife and I have two, a Royal Kludge RK987A with reds and two Magegee Star 75s, one with Reds and one with Yellows.
Was always curious as to how these no-name clone switches compare to Kail or Cherry switches...
60% is certifiably NOT leetsauce, I have no idea how anyone gets on without an F row. I want arrows, need an F row and ideally some of the nav keys
The 75% is more like a 60% with an F row - I wouldn't usually use the full TKL but wifey bought one :)
I will.keep eyes on for Gaterons, ty! It's good to know that there isn't gonna be a huge gulf of difference between the various keys.
Dang I have seen those column staggered split boards before, kinda spooky but pretty cool. I've never really been super passionate about keyboards so I'm kind of a pleb honestly & appreciate the info,
spoiler
for a long time I thought that the best keyboard I'd used was the Lenovo Thinkpad Chiclet keyboardI do still kind of want a Dell AT101 or of course a Model M sometime...
Oh ok c:
There were/are also IBM and Unicomp Model Ms with the lil red nipple which were/are super dope. Dream item, expemsive shit tho...
Catastrophic buckling spring switches
Unicomp bought the original blueprints and such, pretty rad.
