Hohoho, I bought an X1 carbon, but how long will it take before it arrives?....

Dear Oracle, Which mechanical switch should I choose if I am looking to use it mainly for typing? I know that clicky switches are great (MX Blues, Razer Greens), but aside from the ones I've mentioned, are there any more switches that are perfect for typing? Topre is good, I like linears, and clear...

In fact, using computer a keyboard to play music or input musical notes were fairly common back in the days when MIDI keyboards were not as cheap as they are today. I recollect, ten years ago, most MIDI amateurs or newbie "music producers" didn't have anything more than a computer and a (psudo-)pro...

Hey, so going back to the switch debate... What's the verdict on Zealios, especially in comparison to Cherry? I have a rather limited appreciation for the quality control of Cherries based on recent experiences, and heard some praise for Zealios, so I'm curious to hear from fans and haters alike......

This is not helping, I thought I settled my inner clicky debate to only get either blue alps or model F, now I'm tempted to give mx blues a chance ;-;

Now you are obliged to dig up the past of this keeb!

Are MX clones actually much better than the real thing these days? (and smoothness isn't the only thing you would want to look at here). And what does Matias have to offer? The only clones that improve on Cherry switches at a reasonable price point and availability level are Gaterons. Their smoothn...

I decided not to trust anyone's opinions on switches and make my own decisions. One thing that really stuck with me when I had a conversation with another keeb addict in the DT chat was that, in the end, switches are only part of the build. I prefer mx to alps since I want something nice to look at ...

Trying this out

So I tried a matias clicky over the weekend, and I quite liked it,

I can clean anything! ... You can too!

Beautiful case! Shame about the DE ;P

On a slightly unrelated note, Planck has the feature of playing music on different keypresses since it has a speaker

And that Model M is definitely begging to be used.

Indeed a very classic design

Oh the memes

Got some blue alps with 50g sprit springs in, hopefully building a planck or a minivan with it once I receive it all Ü I can't stop the clicking symphony

Thanks wodan for the keyboards! I'm in love with my 1800, which I am typing on now. I cleaned my tipro too, just need a wire for it now. As for the model m, YUCK... I haven't touched the others yet.

In other news, I got my package of blue alps today... Ü

WEEEE sounds like fun, hope this happens again, I love myself a good vote

Same here. Snuci did a really good job on his personal wiki page:

I want to do something like this just for fun though I am a newbie

Now I'm tempted to get an alps tester set off ebay and this numpad

fml mate

Looked like marble to me marble-lous!

Planck would be nice! I loved the compatibility of Terminal. Can this group buy not coincide with any others, to save my wallet?

Are there ortholinear sets in this? Might get the leftovers

Oh no, one more app to add haha... how about using Slack just like Ctrl Alt?

Damn, should have come here before the UK taobao Gb...
