Thread 717197382

PC gamers, what keyboards are you using?

I've been looking for something good, and quiet. And the best looking one I've found so far is this Logitech G915 X. But for 250$ it doesn't seem worth it.

it doesn't matter you can just make your keyboard quieter
after like two weeks of owning a keyboard it fills up with just enough crumbs to make it quiet and the keys are less sensitive which is good for gameplay

Using a Hall effect keyboard I got off Amazon. it’s basically a 1:1 clone of those wooting boards but for $40

>>717197382 (OP)
Corsair K55 RGB I bought mine 5 years ago, I've had no problems with it and it is backlit, useful at nighttime

>>717200687
That's the one I'm using right now. I've also had it for 5 years.
But the space bar is broken, and the right half the space bar won't register as a key press.

>>717200554
Which one did you get?

>>717197382 (OP)
Shit office keyboard, unnamed

>>717201304
Note: lasted 12 years and still running without fault

>>717201304
>>717201368
But does it have extra macro buttons and noise dampening?

>>717197382 (OP)
I use steelseries apex 7 red, the other ones are eithre wireless or don't have a numpad and I am too much of a boomer

>>717197382 (OP)
Logitech UltraX Premium I bought in 2007 for $20. Best purchase of my life.

>>717197382 (OP)
I've got the logitech mx wireless mechanical. I like it: keys are nicely clacky and responsive and getting to switch between my work setup and gaming setup with a single button press is lovely. Haven't used the lights since I'm neither a child or a tranny. Only thing I'm concerned about is cleaning it

>>717197382 (OP)
got a Hyper-X mechanical keyboard, I like it.

Redragon K552. It cost me $30. It has outemu blues. I regret it for the noise, but it otherwise makes for a pleasant typing experience.

Cherry with brown switches. I've used a few mechanical keyboards so far and right before this one I had a corsair with blue switches, but it was too loud and after a few months the T button wasn't working (even after changing the keycap). So I just decided to change to a quieter option and brown switches are supposedly the way to go if you still want to keep the tactile feel.

I think it does it's job, so far no real complaints except I wish it was more elevated. There's no traditional kick stands on the back, just 2 screws that sort of prop them up but not by much

Bought it for $81 but that was during the Prime day sales, right now its like twice as much

>>717197382 (OP)
Cheap as dirt compared to OP related, yeah it has RGB but I toggle it off, very good red buttons, that's about it.

Logitech G513 Carbon that I got for 50 bucks. I had to replace the keycaps because the stock ones didn't stay in place but otherwise it's probably the best keyboard I have ever had.

lemokey p1 with banana switches

definitely not the best for gaming, but i like the feeling and sound

>>717197382 (OP)
The cheapest mechanical keyboard I could get with cherry brown switches in 2015.

>>717197382 (OP)
>PC gamers, what keyboards are you using?
some blue switch knock off from amazon i got for 25 dollars years ago. weighs like 5 lbs and could be used as a weapon.

>>717197382 (OP)
I have this keyboard with the gmk black hole key caps.
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-he-qmk-wireless-custom-keyboard

I just replaced my G15 that I've been using for the past 15 years.

I got a MX Keys, the typing feel is amazing and I like the weight of the keyboard, but the fucking automated and inconsistent backlight is pissing me off.

Keychron K8. Never buying an overpriced, faggy RGB "gaming" keyboard again.

How do you people live without G macro keys?
They are so convenient and useful.

>>717197382 (OP)
Wooting 80HE, I got it at the beginning of this year. It's the best keyboard I've ever used. Hall Effect switches are neat.

>>717204746
I have a G815, the less expensive version of OP's keyboard, and I have exactly zero use for the G function keys whatsoever. In fact, they came with preset key combos that I intentionally cleared out so I wouldn't cause unintended behavior when I accidentally hit G5 instead of left ctrl.

>>717197382 (OP)
I bought three Das keyboard pros from a closing office. It's been 12 years and I'm still waiting on the first one to die.

>>717204746

Wooting 60HE

>>717197382 (OP)
Any cheap USB keyboard with a numpad and media keys for convenience.

What makes mechanical keyboards different than your something like pic related (currently using atm).
I know they sound different but what makes them better?

>>717201468
Who needs macro buttons any decent DE will allow you to make custom keybinds

>>717204651
>No numpad
>No pen holder
>Wireless
That's not a keyboard. At most it's a desk fidget toy. THIS is an actual keyboard.

>>717205443
Key rollover is the only practical improvement really, otherwise it's all about feeling.

>>717197382 (OP)
Let me guess, you need more?

>>717205443
For some reason, lots of people like loud clicking sounds of the mechanical keyboards. And they also fixate on how the keys register inputs 10ms faster than normal keyboards, allegedly. All the while ignoring the existence of low-profile keyboards that have shorter travel distances and register inputs just as fast as the overpriced mechanical keyboards.

>>717205062
Weird. I use them all the time.
Like for screen recording macros.
And I have them bound to open games I regularly play. Like right now G5 opens Stellar Blade.

>>717205145

You know what I do to open games I regularly play? I open my Steam library and click "play" on them.

>>717204746
I keywords I type for macros built into my browser for work, don't need separate keys for something like that

>>717197382 (OP)
This one, it has cherry red switches that aren't loud as fuck.

>>717205838
Big Enter buttons are so good. I hate how most keyboards don't have those.

>>717206098
>I open my Steam library and click "play" on them.
That sounds like a lot more peripheral interaction & time than a single keypress.

>>717204651

lmaoing@urlife.fag

>>717206256
>10 seconds is "a lot more time" to you
Pathetic.

>>717197382 (OP)
The keyboard that came with my PC for free.

Steelseries Apex 3
Had it for 1.5 years. So far no issue. My back up is an 16 year old AZERTY G15. Still works flawless despite aggressive button mashing for years on it.
Apex 3 so far has had no issue with my moments of frustration.

>Buy a GAYMEN keyboard

Fuck's this gay shit? Is this on purpose or is this shit just broken?

>>717206372
>q6 max
Outstanding keyboard at the old price or on a deep sale. plebbit thinks its trash because they don't know how the fuck keyboards work. I bought one with browns and it is my daily driver, never had a single issue or problems with double-presses or any other bullshit people complain about because they're using a yuro/bong board on mutt software.

>>717197382 (OP)
Wooting.
https://wooting.io/

High quality components, high quality aftermarket care.
Good configurability including fully customizing LED lighting for various use cases while gaming.
Switches are mechanical and also analogue - which enables some neat stuff, like emulating a game controller analogue stick with full range of motion control.

Their boards actually can switch into a game controller mode, where your custom key mapping is used to create a DirectInput/XInput compatible game controller. A real one; at the hardware / low-level driver level. So no screwing about with 3rd party programs or interference from e.g. Steam injecting SteamInput and screwing with high-level filter driver based controller emulators.

>G213
Thinking on replacement...

>>717206712
>being so weak you can feel resistance on a fucking keyboard key

New Model F 104. For cherry switches I have an 8bitdo TKL + numpad in the NES colorscheme with Gateron Melodic switches.

>>717206806
I want membrance keybaords. Specifically SILICONE membranes but those don't exist any more I think. So rubber will have to do. I hate those clicky faggoty shit.

So close to perfection it hurts

>>717206098
A single key press is much faster and less effort.

I live near a beach. Why not.
Sucks you're bald.

Been using it for 4 years and love it. The only thing I've ever liked more was my old PS2 IBM keyboard.

What happened to old-school style keyboards that seemed like they can survive a nuclear blast? Most made in the past 20 years feel like slop.

>>717197382 (OP)
Get a board with a modular circuit board so you can slot in your own switches. Even if you don't like the feel of your keyboard, you can buy different switches to whatever feel you want. You can even change your mind in a year and not have to buy a completely new keyboard. If a key stop working, remove the switch and replace it by pushing it into the board instead of having to mess with solder or getting a replacement board sent out to you from the manufacturer.

>>717208015

How solid is it? I've seen some cherries on youtube and they looked like they were made of cardboard, which I thought was a meme but the guy was bending it effortlessly. Does it have a metal plate at least?
>>717204651
Keychron has shit QC, I hope you got a good one. The K8/K10 v2 looked like a solid choice and I was about to buy one but I saw this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1ip03k0/comment/mhlga9b/
It's likely because of the sockets, soldering or the plate.

>>717197382 (OP)
I have one of the keychron Q series keyboards (at least I think it was one of the Q series) with Boba U4T switches. Good keyboards seem expensive but when you realize that it's either that or dealing with the DOGSHIT gayman software from Corsair, Razer, etc it's worth it. Don't spend more than 100 bucks on a pre-made, for 250 you can get something custom or semi custom that will last a fuck of a long time. Just be careful not to spend too long lurking around the custom keyboard scene, it's full of trannies.

>>717206189
Look for ISO keyboards.

That's the worst part. Now full keyboards are starting to cost more if it already has a 50% or 75% counterpart. They cut the price of the 75% version by like 15-20%, but increase the price of the full version by 40-50%.

>>717213950

I'm using some cheap marginally shit Aukey mechanical keyboard and it's fine. Membrane keyboards are fine 99% of the time too, very very rarely do you need a mechanical keyboard and the only time mine makes use of that (Other than me simply enjoying the more tactile clicks) is if I'm playing Doom keyboard-only because most membrane keyboards will shit themselves if you're pressing up-arrow left-arrow alt ctrl shift all at the same time
