Has anyone built MY Keyboard yet?

[fortkentdad]

I've been looking for a keyboard and have not found one that has everything I want.

It needs to be mechanical - brown cherries (at least that's the way I'm leaning at the moment)

I want a few special macro keys - on the right side, the more the merrier. 

I want customizable colours - not just one colour.  My headphones (Razer Old Republics) let me choose whatever colour my ears should glow why not my keyboard?)

I want USB 3.0 ports.  I expect to have this keyboard a long time, and want to easily plug in a USB 3.0 key without having to access the USB 3.0 port on the back of my PC.

I want cable management - just because I like to pretend to care about neatness.

I want it to be durable and of good quality from a reputable manufacturer. 

And I don't want to have to take out a mortgage to buy it.  (I'm game up to about $120 but sub $100 would be grand). 

And if it came in white, why not, but black works too.  You see I'm not that fussy.

So far I've not found this combination of features on any one keyboard.

No.

And I don't think you're going to get one with all those features at that price.

Do what the rest of us do and get several boards - different colours for different moods

Unless everything is yellah. Rowdy loves yellah.

To me it sounds like "I want a unicorn that makes me breakfast made of golden tears from the gods. Oh time travel is a bonus but not a must."

I laughed way to hard at this

Or just get a Cherry MY keyboard

You are in fantasy land if you think you can get those features for that price.

...and most of those "features" are absolutely useless (or rather easily replaceable outside the keyboard).

A good USB 3.0 extension cable costs $10. Why bother with another cable built into the keyboard?
Cable management? What's that? Detacheable cable? About half of new keyboards have that, and it's a source of annoying issues.
Glowing headphones? Yeah, I sure love that some idiot is wearing that near my face (and they can't even see it unless looking in a mirror). Absolutely useless. Glowing keyboard? Why don't you learn to touch type?

Sad but true!

Or just get a Cherry MY keyboard

Next generation of Korean custom keyboards. Featuring Cherry MY switches. On custom plate, with custom membrane, custom springs, custom leafs and of course custom lube.

[Freezzy]

Well that's a lot of requirements. Though... No, there's probably no keyboard like you requested. And if there was, it would cost higher than that. Your best bet would be a Ducky or a CM Storm Trigger.

[tricheboars]

i dont mean to be rude to OP. get what you want of course.

with that said I agree with other users on this site. when it comes down to it i think most of those features are undesirable on a keyboard simply because the more components you have the more likely something will fail.

Closer - still not USB 3.0 but getting there.

No customizable colors there, good sir. Only ones where you can choose between Green and Red are the Rosewill RK 9200 and Ducky Mini, both still unreleased.

Besides, aren't you asking too much and asking for useless features as well? I mean, my AKG K240 may not change colours such as your headset, but sure as hell sounds far better.

Don't forget that the USB ports are badly placed on the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium, on the right side of the keyboard (just like the Razer Crapwidow and my Das Keyboard. And well, guess what happens?



Which is why there's things far more useful called USB Hubs. There's even some that read memory cards as well too...
