Author Topic: What Keyboard are you Buying Next? (Read 3462 times)

Novus · « **on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 04:18:03 »

I'm always curious when there's an influx of new boards, customs and various keyboard group buys running.

What keyboard are you planning to assemble or buy next?

azhdar · « **Reply #1 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 04:29:00 »

I want an F at some point.
Next keyboard buy is either the RS84, I need a 75% ISO.
Then I'll want a HHKB cherry keyboard. Either a GON but I'll wait for Duck Viper V2, hopefully he will do an ISO Viper V2.
And Novatouch 55g if it were to happen one day.

Shayde · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 04:35:18 »

No new keyboards for me, as I have enough now. There's just one more I'd like, the fabled Matias/Alps switched keyboard in TKL format in a metal case, but I suspect I'll be waiting a while for that one.

chyros · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 06:59:13 »

I'm getting more than enough keyboards for free. The only ones I'd be willing to fork out for now is a Focus FK-5001 or 9000, as they're fairly unique and very cool.

ApocalypseMaow · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 07:00:40 »

Romer G FTW.

retainerbox · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 08:07:30 »

Put in my order for the Pok3r yesterday.

White with clears. Nothing too expensive, but I've been waiting to invest a 60% for a little while now.

Snowdog993 · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 08:09:48 »

There is a pretty good chance the next keyboard I buy would be a Model M.

hwood34 · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 08:35:39 »

Trying to find a Kpad to match my Kmac. Also going to get an acrylic Vergo made

jerue · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 08:45:47 »

I'll probably build an ergodox or atreus. Distant future though...I'm still enamored by my Realforce

Touch_It · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 10:41:43 »

IBM M silver label (unless I find a "can't pass up" deal) on a vintage or otherwise interesting or rare keyboard.

ttzhou · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 12:22:51 »

Next: GON NERD TKL Acrylic, exact same build that b7ad posted a while back on his blog.

FAAARRRR distant future when I've sold everything else: GON NS Fullsize, berserk themed board made to look like the dragonslayer

Joey Quinn · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 12:41:27 »

Something something 60% alps or ergonomic 60% (not an Ergo Dox).

jonlorusso · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 12:43:18 »

I'm planning to build a Planck with two (2!) trackpoint nubs (one between f-g-v, and one between h-j-n) and call it the PointPlanck.

Rodgaroon · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 12:52:29 »

TX87, hoping it doesn't run me more then $320. But it is a Kuston.

Frenir · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 12:54:19 »

I'm actually considering buying a Topre Realforce 105UB 45g.

ghostjuggernaut · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 13:01:01 »

Ideally a black Cheat.

Firebolt1914 · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:16:25 »

Korean custom
IBM Model F AT
(whenever) Custom Hall Effect Keyboard

3278 Beamspring

...please someone help me out?

Lastpilot · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:27:18 »

Might be getting a nice numpad...DAMN YOU STAR CITIZEN!

pr0ximity · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:34:10 »

Think I actually hit my personal keyboard conclusion, the only thing I can think of ever wanting is a nice beamspring, but I'd never use it.

MajorMajor · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:53:32 »

Waiting to see what kind of 10keyless comes through group buys.

orihalcon · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 17:58:34 »

Hopefully a beamspring with a different layout than displaywriter, 3101, or 5251. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of beamsprings out there right now though. Budget probably $200-$400 depending on the model and condition.

s0nia · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 21:24:56 »

HHKB! Trying to snipe a decent deal.

mason · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 16 April 2015, 21:57:38 »

HHKB whenever I feel like it's time

Dee1 · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 08:31:13 »

A Novatouch.

After that, maybe a GON MX-Mini, though that will done be after I get some other boards I'm waiting for from group buys.

Cafeine · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 09:00:00 »

Well, I'm in Japan next month soooo, I guess I'm in trouble. I'll have to get that HHKB Type-S in blanks + keycaps (black blanks to have that nice look + RB enter / ESC). I'm ordering that in advance and that will wait for me @ my friend house in Tokyo. With a RF Keypad. Then we'll see. A Minila maybe... ?

I'm also tempted by the Pok3r on Massdrop, but still can't choose the switchs... :x

henz · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 09:00:25 »

dont know, it feels like im ordering stuff all the time. its a spur of the moment thing

gaucho_81 · « **Reply #27 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 11:31:36 »

Mmmm. I'm very tempted to get a WASD CODE with greens.. probably next month, already throw way too much money on this vice and we are not even at mid year

Regards
Gabriel

admiralvorian · « **Reply #28 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 12:29:25 »

I paid my Orion V2 invoice last week.

Just need stabs and switches.

yomammary · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 12:33:47 »

I'd like a RealForce 55g

Maybe a Pok3r

saturnotaku · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:12:21 »

I don't know. This B.87 with 62g springs, and lubed black switches is pretty sweet. Not nearly as heavy as I was expecting, and I'm having fun playing around with the layout and LED color.

I'm leaning toward anther HHKB, but probably a stock one and dental-banding it.

Wobbly Bot · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:15:14 »

Thinking about grabbing a Novatouch or Realforce sometime soon. Fell in love with Topre and I can't get enough!

Lurch · « **Reply #32 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:19:56 »

need to finish building my viper or one of my infinity kits

which i need someone to lube & spring swap some switches for me

cryptowillem · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:21:30 »

Well, once the Massdrop ends, a Pok3r. I'm in the second drop, though, so it won't get to me until August, likely.

In the meantime, though, I'm strongly considering a Novatouch. I want to feel the Topre love, but I'm not ready to go full on to an HHKB just yet. I'm also thinking about building a Planck.

I'm also closely following the Hubble Mira IC. I want a custom board at some point, and that's the one that's caught my eye right now.

Everything's just so expensive with the cruddy exchange on the Canadian dollar right now.

Lurch · « **Reply #34 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 13:21:54 »

oh and my F-122 restoration. need to finish that as well.

no more buying keyboards until those are done

unless a great deal on a 660c pops up

henz · « **Reply #35 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 14:46:30 »

i bought a model m SSK, a datadesk,a m0116 and a tipro. This week! i Say the same as lurch im not getting anythign untilll my all the bords i bought are at a state where im happy

this ALMOST makes me feel better about how much I have spent in the 4 months I've been in this hobby. But I agree with your philosophy wholeheartedly. Get the base keyboards, don't buy anymore until you get them to where you like them.

r0mIe_Ng · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 15:32:36 »

Waiting to receive my Orion V2 from Duck, then mby another numpad

sethk_ · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 15:37:01 »

Next keyboard, ideally the Mira or a Leeku PCB, but I also wouldn't mind a black HHKB with blank white keycaps.

Puddsy · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 16:55:47 »

I'd like a Kustom of some kind, but I can't afford it without selling off most of my collection, which I don't want to do

You could probably get enough to get a GON kit by selling three of your boards, but I guess that qualifies as "most"?

Tiramisuu · « **Reply #41 on:** Fri, 17 April 2015, 20:23:29 »

4 on the list but don't know when I'll pull the trigger.

TextBlade - This is the sex bomb. If it ever gets to market I will be all over it.
Stenosaurus - because typing 200+ words per minute is achievable.
JD40 - The Planck or the atreus are tempting but I actually I'm not sure that I'd actually prefer the difference in layout.
Something fully programmable that I can swap my current into my current poker 2 aluminum case ( Colemak and Bluetooth)

Ya need one my friend, exponentially better than the sum of all the keyboards you sell

the aether · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 18 April 2015, 01:59:17 »

Probably a Leopold FC750R with blues, or some sort of buckling spring board (Model M [SSK?] or Unicomp).

but no divorce blackmail though

CaplockJack · « **Reply #47 on:** Sat, 18 April 2015, 11:02:30 »
