What Keyboard Are You Using Now?

[1pq]

I'm using a blue Alps Duck Mini V2 that I finished up yesterday

It's the first clicky keyboard that I seriously love.

You don't seriously love your Model M?

Can't wait for that blue alps tour though

The M is good, but form factor is important for me. Blue alps also give buckling spring over membrane a serious run for their money.

Well I just bought an F, so I'll have to see how they hold up against capacitive!
Glad you're enjoying your Duck Mini though. Do you have that dolch replica on there?

Welcome to Geekhack1

You can get a set of printed keycaps for HHKB at EK: http://www.elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys

MX BLUE? I can't believe you're flirting with the darkside...

Kind of the medium-dark side; but for a 55-gram Topre guy, this is a foray into the dark side. Since double-dampening, I have two layers of shelf liner in the CMQFR's case except for a single layer under the R1 space-bar row. The keyboard sounds and feels great; far better than the stock CMQFR and far better than using a single layer of shelf liner. I bottom out my key strikes and after the additional dampening, the keys sound 'thocky' Gotta love the thock. Also eliminated interior echoing.

Using a Ducky DK9008P with MX Blues at home, CM Storm Quickfire XT with MX Browns at work.

Everyone hated me when I brought my Ducky to work. I thought it was out of envy. Nope, turns out it's because you could hear the click clack all through the building.

It made me sad.

Thinking about buying the same keyboard for work.

Currently using a Realforce 87UB EK edition 45G with a modded detachable USB at home and work. Thinking of picking up a Unicomp, and possibly jumping on a 60% at some point, too.

I don't quite get how geekhackers are ok using non ergonomically profiled keysets :/

Filco Majestouch 2.

[HPE1000]

Using my Filco MJ2 as well. Kinda developed a love hate relationship with this over the past few months. After a good year of using cherry mx blue switches, I am getting a bit tired of them. Once the novatouch comes out, that will probably be my daily driver.



Had a friend over recently and they tried to lift it not knowing it was aluminum, quite funny XD

I had a friend who tried to lift my normal filco and he was very surprised by its weight, I can only imagine with a metal case :D

QFR with 62g clears.

[Smasher816]

I'm curious why F9 has an LED. And wouldn't greens be more fitting for a clicky key on a clear board then blues?

its an ergo clear board

On a QFR pressing Fn-F9 toggles the Windows key.  The LED under F9 lights when Win key is inactive.

Went from 55g 87U to Filco MX Black; and end-of-day it's CMQFR/MX Blue.
The 55g down force of the MX Blues feels good at day's end.

Got myself an CM QF XT mx brown today for work

[CPTBadAss]

For the next two weeks, daily driver will be my phone's keyboard. It's not even mechanical!

* CPTBadAss sobs

To all those who were concerned, I have been reunited with my Filco and SSK. Happy endings do come true

[aref]

It's CMQFR day. The more I use this sound-dampened keyboard, the more I like it.
I can't break away from these great feeling, tactile, Cherry MX Blue key switches...
not even with 55g 87U on my desk.
