can you elaborate?

The base of my first keybard was uneven. The left alt key on my second didn't work at all. No bueno

Nice. I was doing some Topre shopping but maybe I'll wait now. My experience with QFRs were very disappointing. I hope CM has improved their QA and manufacturing process.

To answer your question the key caps and LED indicators on Capslock, Scr Lk and Num Lk is not final yet... But good spotted tho ...

Co-designed by WASD's Kowng, the CODE looks like a WASD Keyboard with dip switches and illuminated keys. No premium on clear switches and includes accessories.

I was planning on getting the WASD v2, but for $150, it makes no sense to get it when the CODE has so much more. I really hope WASD matches ...

But come on, like clears can compete with buckling spring! $100 can buy a lot of ear plugs…

haha okay, not just for the noise, but for the presumably lower actuation force.
if i can't find clears i'll just man up

I know WASD has clears now, but are there any under $100? Ducky is forever out of stock... and CM support says "We currently do not have any information about this."

I'd really like a silent alternative to my Unicomp BS

im really thinking about getting mx clear as a quiet gaming/typing alternative to my unicomp buckling spring keyboard.

does anybody know how do the two compare?

Why are the keys not aligned? Is it more ergonomic that way?

Clears have a 65cN actuation force which ramps up to 100cN to bottom out.

yikes

cherry mx clears can't be heavier than black can they? the deskthority wiki says it's like 55cN while the black is 60cN. or is that a little misleading since that is peak force?

oooo wasd tenkeyless v2 cherry mx clear coming in march 2013

Black is eaisier on the fingers than BS. You do loose all the fun though. MX black are one of my best MX switches though (along side green).

Remember when asking questions to talk about what type of switch you mean. I guess you mean cherry MX but you could also mean ALPS or any other type of ...

currently i'm typing on a unicomp bs and am thinking of switching to a black due to fatigue while playing xonotic. how does it compare in regards to actuation force? wiki says black is 60 while bs is 60-80cN "(depending on implementation)". how do i determine what implementation i have?

anybody ...

interesting. thanks for sharing guys!

practice it is!

time to change all my passwords to 16 digit numbers

do you ever miss the numpad?

how do you deal with typing numbers?

i plan on getting a tenkyless, but hunt and pecking numbers is slow and not looking at the keyboard is very error prone. does anybody use f/j-like ridges on their number keys?

any ideas :S?

You're going to make the Oracle feel sad.

what's wrong with the CM QuickFire Rapid

gorkypl wrote:I think I can feel what the Oracle thoughts: CM QuickFire Rapid

Yeah that seems like the best, if only, choice right now. The media inscribing on the keys is a bit of a turn off though.

Hi Oracle,

I recently got the Unicomp Ultra Classic which I am very pleased with, but unfortunately it is not suitable for gaming — mainly fps such as xonotic & red eclipse and rts games such as planetary annihilation in the future.

What keyboards would you recommend that's preferably under $100 ...

just got the L-TRAC 2145W and i gotta say... WOW!

thing is massive and so easy to use. the scroll bar is soo smooth, buttons huge :D! i'm beginning to justify the price on this thing. plus mine is apparently rare since beige + black ball isn't popular so i had to make a special order at trackball ...

thanks all. i think i might consider the ltrac sometime down along the road when i can scrap enough $ for it. build quality looks amazing and that scroll bar is just epic :evilgeek:

I have a Logitech M570. I've been using it for 4 months.

About your concerns:

- Wireless: that's true, it's ...

lol that's just sad.

Ripster's personality rubs some people the wrong way. The 'some people' I refer to just so happened to include administrators from both of the major keyboard forums. He's a lot safer on reddit and I think it suits him there. Although he seems to get a lot of downvotes...maybe it's the bots?
what a ...

Geekhack was hacked a bunch of times until it was eventually taken offline and new hardware/software was installed.
During that time, a lot of GH'ers came to Deskthority to sell their clickclacks. Some people liked DT after being basically forced to check it out and I suspect the amount of regulars ...

so ummm what exactly happened to geekhack? don't have time to follow the drama so could someone explain why a lot of people migrated to deskthority?

edit: o and what happeend to that nerdguy who had like a billion posts on gh? where he go ?

thanks for the suggestion, but that's really pricey — even for a high end mouse.

shopping for a trackball and M570 seems like a solid choice, but I'm hesitant to buy it due to the following reasons:

wireless
lack of full support on linux
battery powered

anybody got any other suggestions :S?
