What Keyboard Are You Using Now?

[xtrafrood]

My new "main driver" is a WASD v2 with MX Greens and the two rightmost modifier keys swapped out for MX Locks. I'm also practicing with a Kinesis Advantage with Gateron Blues in the keywells and Greens in the thumb clusters, with two of the small left-thumb keys again swapped for MX Locks.

The Kinesis is hard to get used to, but I think it's repairing some bad typing habits of mine

Greens.
Sounds loud and fun.

Yeah, I have to be careful to type softly on calls because the mic picks it up and it's obnoxious. The WASD has O-rings which helps, but the Kinesis doesn't and it's like an automatic rifle going off.

I've been meaning to spring swap my greens with 135g springs but the guy that was suppose to send me a sample never got around to it.

135g?! Holy guacamole!

I feel like greens are to light for me but I haven't used them in about a month so I need to switch back

Yeah, I'm the same; I beat my keys like an underpaid nanny.

Using my new 1800 Leeku in a weird position as I've not cut a hole in my 1800 case yet.

But now everything down from End, Page Down and Scroll lock doesn't work. Including delete. It all works at home but not at work...

I'm using an RS78 with 62g MX Blacks.  I'm a big fan of them, and even unlubed they're pretty smooth. I'm excited to try out lubed Gat Blacks in my next build, whatever it may be.

If a person has to put their keyboard in a choke hold in order to force it to actuate, it kind of defeats the purpose.

[LiquidEvilGaming]

Using my KBP V60 with Cherry MX blacks more and more to get accustomed to the switch, will be adding O-Rings this weekend to cut the travel down a bit since my fingers are much better trained on Clears than linear blacks.

[Floody]

Brought the Planck with greens to the computer lab since no one is there on Fridays. Took forever for the driver's to install but it was well worth it.

I'm not sure if he wants me releasing his super secret modding method. You will have to ask him.

[Rob27shred]

Right now I am using a MK Disco TKL with KBT (I believe they are manufactured by Greetech) Browns & 40a o-rings for dampeners. So far I am absolutely loving this board, it blow my previous MKB (Rosewill Apollo with MX Browns) out of the water on build quality & I think the KBT browns have a better feel than the MX browns on my Apollo. Currently waiting on a set of red Shine 3 ABS keycaps & few ABS customs I ordered from keypop.net to truly make the board my own but I think the addiction has started for me... I am already looking into building my own TKL board, but am in no rush since I am happy with the Disco for now.

Probably involves Cheetos and chicken fingers and a Coke drizzle.

Work: CODE 87 with MX clears
Home: CM Storm TKL with MX reds

Joined the R3 Zealios drop so I'll probably figure out a way to swap them into the CODE..

HHKB. But I wish I was using rm-rf's modded 170g HHKB.

Either means each switch is weighted at 170g, or the HHKB itself has been lightened to only 170g.

Agreed that either possibility requires explanation.

[LiquidEvilGaming]

Actually back to my HHKB Pro 2 again,the tendinitis and carpal issues have been horrid lately and the HHKB feels more forgiving to type on.   And i love the sound of the thocky matt3o PBT spacebar.

[Wazazaby]

A B.87 with Gat greens and tuned stabs, my 2nd favorite board behind mt JD40!

[Brammm87]

Currently a Varmilo VB87M with Gateron Browns. Pleasantly surprised by it. Put o-rings on it to spare my coworkers a bit. I'm used to greens so I'm bottoming out hard

[E3E]

Finally have cases for both of my Alps Eagles, aww yeah

Here's the other one:



That was before I changed my Lightpad to Alps.

And they are all hot swappable (switches, LEDs), including the Lightpad. 

[zombiegristle]

I think I'm in the process of phasing out my WASD v2 for this TeamWolf one I just got. Using them both right now to decide.

[LiquidEvilGaming]

Right this moment KBP V60 W/ Cherry Blues with Midnight DCS Keycaps from Signature plastics.   Really love the DCS profile and Blues unlike most switches i actually prefer with thinner ABS not thicker PBT like most of my boards.

[UnFocused]

I am using a Phantom which I finished building a few days ago. Phantom PCB, blue aluminum plate, grey TEX aluminum case, a Pexon cable and DSA Dolch keycaps. The switches are Cherry MX blacks that I harvested from a Wyse terminal board with a date code from 1986.

I was disappointed after getting everything together that there was a good bit of flex with the PCB / plate inside of the case. axtran recommended a sheet of Sorbothane which has worked wonders and eliminated all of the flex.

I really, really, really like these vintage MX blacks. I like them much more than the KUL with MX clears I have had.

Here's a bad photo of the keyboard.



And here's part of the Wyse donor board.



I'm not saying this is endgame, but this build is wonderful and I don't think I'll be acquiring any more keyboards for a while unless I come across a killer deal on an IBM beam spring or whatnot. I've got this Phantom, a few Model M's (I started collecting those in the late 90s and have recently sold a few), a Model F, a 55g Realforce and an Apple M0116 with orange Alps that's been in the family since the 80s.

[kyb]

For me it's now the Ergodox. After having almost spent 800 Euros on Topre stuff. I even bought a second RF as a backup in case the government takes away my keyboard. Lol @ my wallet

I hate the switches in my dox  but the layout is just superior. Can someone build a 55g Topre Ergodox pls?

[Rob27shred]

Got my 2 KBP V60 minis in today & am loving them! I got one with Cherry white switches & one with Cherry Blue switches. So for the time being I'll be switching between the V60s for typing & still rocking my MK Disco for gaming. So far I am really leaning towards the whites since I have a heavy typing style. The blues feel great but are a little loud, not sure if it is something I will get used to or not. The KBT browns are awesome, they feel very similar too but a little better than Cherry browns IMO. YMMV with that last statement though as that is my personal preference between the two.

I use a Rantopad MXX w/ Gateron blues as my daily driver. I'm currently in the process of putting soft landing pads on my Novatouch so it's lying in 3 pieces on my desk. I'll get around to finishing it when I have time, it's just tedious. I really love my gateron blues, but I also liked the novatouch, and it has benefits as far as gaming goes (like side-stepping in cs go is kinda hard on blues) but that sound on the upstroke was killing it for me. So hopefully this'll help. We'll see. I'm possibly going to be getting a higher end varmillo gateron blue board, however, as I bought this rantopad mxx to try them as I didn't know if I'd like them or not (I didn't like razer greens or cherry blues) but these ended up being my favorite switch. So now I'm looking to get a keyboard with gat blues that has a better build quality.
