time for my trimonthly message to this discord: Does anyone know of any good fullsize chink mech keyboards? I bought the ANNE pro a while back but want a full size.

2019-03-20 18:55:07 UTC  

@StickyDonutHoles pretty much irrelevant, nothing too big, nothing too small. Budget somewhat around 500 eurobucks

thanks friendo.

@apool Unironically the redmi note 7

2019-03-20 19:05:46 UTC  

@Drunk Octopus how "good" are we talkin

2019-03-20 19:23:09 UTC  

mmm, isnt gonna break or stop working after a month, and doesnt feel like its made of trash

2019-03-20 19:23:44 UTC  

like I don't need top of the line spaceship grade aluminum with diamond infused braided cords, but like the cheaper version of corsairs

2019-03-20 19:33:34 UTC  

that's setting a low bar <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2019-03-20 19:34:22 UTC  

sure is lmfao

2019-03-20 19:34:46 UTC  

but at least the chinkboard hopefully wont have proprietary bottom row keys

2019-03-20 19:34:51 UTC  

Build one yourself :^)

2019-03-20 19:36:31 UTC  

Jokes aside if you're not sure what you actually want, try a sample set, get an GMMK and put in there whatever you like

2019-03-20 19:36:39 UTC  

what kind of switvhes

2019-03-20 19:37:14 UTC  

THe cheaper chink boards will always have lower ends Gaterons/Kailhs and it'll likely never change

2019-03-20 19:37:14 UTC  

gmmk pricy, only really good if you get it for sub $80 with switches

2019-03-20 19:38:06 UTC  

I think that's roughly $65 with no caps or switches

2019-03-20 19:38:35 UTC  

What? We have 45Eurobucks sales on that thing in between

I got mine on black Friday for $75 with gat reds

2019-03-20 19:40:09 UTC  

preferably cherry reds. That's what I think my current anne pro has, and theyre pretty decent sans the coffee I've spilled on it. The Thermaltake Kalih Blue board I have from half a decade ago still works fine but I'd rather not earrape people over voice chat with my click

2019-03-20 19:40:39 UTC  

kalih box reds probably more up your alley

2019-03-20 19:41:20 UTC  

get gateron reds friend

2019-03-20 19:41:23 UTC  

benefits from the box shape and you're not jewing out for (the lack of) German innovation

2019-03-20 19:41:49 UTC  

Hm never actually heard of those (been a while since I've been in the keeb market) but they look decent

2019-03-20 19:41:52 UTC  

gateron red good too but the wobble bothers people

2019-03-20 19:42:02 UTC  

but its sooo smooth

2019-03-20 19:42:03 UTC  

are those strictly for byo or are there prefab keebs with them

2019-03-20 19:42:05 UTC  

So, reds it is. Price point?

2019-03-20 19:42:34 UTC  

there are prefabs but idk about fullsized prefabs

2019-03-20 19:42:57 UTC  

lets say that since corsairs can go for like 120 ish that's my rough budget. the CM masterkeys L has caught my eye but they dont seem to be available on amazon often

2019-03-20 19:43:27 UTC  

just get a ((premium)) western board for that money

2019-03-20 19:43:31 UTC  

I bought a cheap CM with gateron reds and its perfect

2019-03-20 19:43:52 UTC  

Gotta agree with win there

2019-03-20 19:44:05 UTC  

like ducky, Leopold, varmillo, etc

2019-03-20 19:44:12 UTC  

I mean if I can something similar for cheaper thats always nice

2019-03-20 19:44:47 UTC  

@Drunk Octopus James Donkey, dear friend

2019-03-20 19:45:00 UTC  

Epi, is the CK550 the one you got? thats the first result for CM gateron reds

2019-03-20 19:45:13 UTC  

yep

2019-03-20 19:45:19 UTC  

the caps are shitty ABS tho

2019-03-20 19:45:23 UTC  

uh maybe gmmk with some nice aftermarket caps, there are some not well known keebs but not at home rn

2019-03-20 19:45:33 UTC  

but standard rows so if it bothers you maybe you can buy caps for it later

2019-03-20 19:46:01 UTC  

like hexgears I think have some weird keyboards, I think they have a box red fullsized
