Keyboard >> Laptop

@@Dracula737 well actually, you’re allowed to take company laptops home for almost every company that provides one as you can only do work on that laptop.

@@laufity2801 not all of them. In my place, even though you are an IT Staff that literally need that laptop, even though it is the biggest company, you still can't take it home and have to left it at office with Kensington lock on

nah, I met a lot of people who were using office keyboards for so long before getting into the mech scene. they happily regret it. Probably you are referring to those people who game a lot. There are also people who just don't play that much and are fascinated with nice keyboards. Specially programmers.

@@evilkamatis542 nope gaming had little to do with it. It's common sense though. You start at bottom-level mass produced keyboards. You want something better so you move up to expensive mass produced keyboards (and macro support). Then you move up to group buys (and qmk). I'm not saying people won't skip steps here or there but without any outside influences this will likely be the path that people will take.

Yeah, just about everyone I know had an entry point with a off the shelf keyboard with cherry mx or knockoff oetemu switches. For personally was a redragon with blue witches, made my dome kb feel like crap. But after my first Drop I got hooked

Keyboards are expensive in my country so a logitech g512 will be enough for me.

i understand katakana from when i was a wannabe anime weeb nerd who was determined to learn japanese. I gave up after getting to kanji.

@@xtdycxtfuv9353 Lol. Why’d you quit at kanji? I know it looks super scary and like a fantasy to be able to understand kanji but I guarantee once you get the basics and fundamentals of Kanji down, it really isn’t that hard. Kanji is a very logical system so it’s pretty easy to follow. Trust me. I can give you the link to some videos I watched to get me started.

@@user-cw3yj8jv1s oh well i only stopped a year ago. How long did it take you? I stopped around halfway through elementary level kanji so i know a little.

@@xtdycxtfuv9353 Well the thing is the way I started learning Japanese (which definitely wasn’t very affective but it did give me a base to start off with) was with Duolingo. They didn’t teach how kanji really worked but I would just go with it and remember that you read this character with the vocabulary term instead of thinking of what the kanji meant. Like I remember seeing お願いします (onegai shimasu) which means please and I didn’t think of the kanji itself and just thought as if it was a part of a word. From there I learned more about kanji after I felt comfortable with the vocab I knew. I then went on KZfaq and watched a video on Japanese by a channel named Langfocus. He showed me how Japanese works structurally and a little history which helped me understand the origins of kanji. I then realized how logical kanji after watching a few other videos and before I knew it I stated being able to read.

IDK about a legend. In 80 days he most likely got bent over getting one from r/mm.

It is a tgr Jane the most expensive board

Perhaps his journey also brought him into the world of unixes and terminals and keyboard-based window managers, so he has little to no need for a mouse. Especially after enabling the virtual mouse functions in his keyboard firmware.

@@ToyKeeper I took that journey first, and then I saw this video a few months ago. Now I am about to begin the descent into madness that is mechanical keyboards after doing a week's worth of research

@@gabe_dunn I got started on fancy keyboards way back in the 90s... and tried a whole bunch of different styles and designs. Large, small, split, joined, tented, flat, ergonomic, concave, convex, mechanical, touch sensors, cheap, expensive, row-staggered, column-staggered, ortholinear, rectangular, odd-shaped, etc... ... and I've found that a lot of the stuff people get excited about is just hype. Some of the best keyboards I've used were things most enthusiasts would laugh at. And some of the worst keyboards I've used were expensive premium models. In the end, the ones I'm happiest with are 65% to 75% size rectangular models with open-source firmware, quiet tactile switches, and "entry level" price tags. For example, the main two I use daily are a Whitefox and a NK65. Switches are Hako True and TTC Bluish White. Keycaps are stock Whitefox (Cherry profile ABS) and a cheap DSA PBT set. But when I use regular cheap mass-market keyboards, I don't hate it. They're usually pretty decent. The thing I miss most isn't the nice switches or caps... it's the firmware. I've gotten a little spoiled by being able to remap things however I like, and features which simply don't exist on regular keyboards. So the main thing I look for in a keyboard now is whether it's supported upstream by one of the major firmware projects. Everything else is a secondary concern.

@@ToyKeeper Nice, that's great. I've noticed a significant overlap between my linux/developer friends and my friends who have custom mechanical keyboards. The open source firmware support is a big factor for me, so the GMMK Pro is what I'll probably get as my first one, as it's QMK compatible.

@@ToyKeeper I started out in the 80's typing on the pretty decent Model F's and M's in corporate offices. After they disappeared, it was one horrible cheap mass-market keyboard after another. It's only been in the past 5-10 years that I realized there exists a whole other level of quality if one is willing to diy. I'm now at that stupid level where $2k seems completely reasonable for a good one.

I think its a Duck Orion v3 for stage two

honestly get a cheap $40-$60 keeb and use it. That’s what I did.

Run. Now!!!

TL;DR - Custom mechanicals can be smoother and faster while also providing a more pleasant feeling and sounding experience. The smoothness and speed all depend on the switch that you put it in the board. The two biggest draws for going full custom (IMO) are the customizability of the board (which encompasses both the speed/resistance of your switches and the feel) and the sound. I've got a build with 62g tangerine switches that have been lubed and anything that is stock prebuilt feels rough and scratchy to me now (though I haven't gotten the chance to try out the retooled cherry switches). As far as sound goes, that comes from a combination of the case, the switches, whether or not you have sound dampening foam, the type of plate that the switches are mounted on, and some other factors I'm probably not thinking of. An entry level custom build can be done for around $250, so I would definitely encourage anyone looking to get into the hobby to start by getting a switch tester to find the right feel for yourself first.

@@khryogenic Thanks for the info, so what you mean by custom built is that I choose the pieces and then built it myself?

@@tiagopires6769 Yupp. The pieces generally being a case, PCB (usually bought as a pair with the case), switches, keycaps, and stabilizers. The space has gotten more beginner friendly recently with the addition of hotswap PCBs, so you no longer have to solder your switches to the board. Of course (as alluded to in the video) there are several 'necessary' purchases that you 'need' to make like lube and films for your key switches, and things can quickly spiral out of control price wise if you aren't careful.

@@khryogenic Apreciate it :D rn is hard for me to buy stuff but in the future I do intend to buy one of these or build one to my liking.

No, humans change

because you see keyboard users who literally do it (i know its dumb)

For some reason it's a style with more expensive brands of keys. The whole keyboard thing is a consumer cult.
