All that high falootin technology and you cant put something more readable than black lettering on dark grey backgrounds?

So mechanical keyboards are more preference than anything?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

For gamers who think they're cool yes. I never understood the 'need' for mechanical keyboards there are better alternatives

@OP Where do Razer's caps fit into this? I have their yellows on mine.

What about silvers? :( I have them in my Ducky Shine 6, and they're like reds with 1.2mm actuation distance

My step-dad purchased one of these recently, and he plays games until around 4-6 AM and I can still hear this clicky shit. >:(

This is informative, but the grey text on grey background is less tha ideal.

Is there a non gif version? I'm trying to read it but the text is too small and being a gif, I can't zoom in

I wish Cherry Blacks weren't so scarce now days. I really like the stronger press resistance on them. Reds just feel too light.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I found that reds were too light too. Browns are awesome

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I use blacks every day and the really cool thing about them is that you can type them totally silently if you want to.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For real. Great key type.

There is also a Black Silent switch aparently: https://www.cherry.de/cid/keymodules.htm

They're great and all but you shouldn't be playing Overwatch until 3AM when you know it keeps your roommate up and that he has to wake upat8

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This^ my roommate has absurdly loud switches (idk which) and stays up till 4am. I have stuff to do at 9

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Which is the quiet-er-est?

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Red (linear) switches, They don't do the clackitty since they don't have a bump. They make some minor noise when the key bottoms out though.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Reds are also better for gaming since they take the least force and you can double tap keys easier. Typists tend to prefer the bump feel.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Which is loudest

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Blues are the loudest of the colored switches. Buckling are loud as well, but it's been a long time since I've heard them so hard 2 compare

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Some people fit rubber O-rings onto the stems of Cherry switches to quieten that, too.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

If you use a clickity clackity keyboard in the office I hate you.

8 years ago | Likes 83 Dislikes 11

I just bought one with Blues, and I may bring it in occasionally

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I learned to type on one of those. They were old enough that the classroom only had like one so I rushed to class to make sure I got it lol

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Lol yes

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Seriously, I use a mechanical keyboard at home but would hate working in an office full of them.

*CLACKITYCLICKCLICKCLACKCLACK* I'm sorry, did you say something?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Few years at one company, my keyboard was a Model M. After I left they said they missed the sound of the keyboard

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I can reach 130wpm, which makes almost a constant noise. Much fun

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Had a black widow for a while. When I would type papers, my roommates thought I was just slamming my hands on the keyboard. It was great.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I asked all my coworkers if it was okay before I brought one in. They all said they didn't mind, pretty sure they didn't realize what I was

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 2

I hope you bought a model M.
