Just buy ali membrane keycaps

🤢 chinese kit
<:alismirk:230784726615588865> zealpc $600 zephr kit with only artisian keycaps and super rare vintage cherry switches from unused 1980 era keyboards

who the fuck is paying $600 for a kit

i saw an old ibm mech at the thrift store but i dont have a computer with a pci port

yeah the kbdfans kits are the highest id go tvbh

i mean ps2

buy a ps2/usb one then lol

i was using ps2 keyboard/mouse until 2016

just using the same computer my dad gave me when i was 12

http://s.aliexpress.com/IvA3uAZJ Is there any other noteworthy switches that this one is missing, or is there a more complete tester?

no that sohuld be it lol

it's missing topre/non cherry mx switches

wtf is cherry 5pin

```
3 pin switches requires a plate. 5 pins ones can be used both pcb mounted or plate mounted (the pins can be snipped off if PCB doesn't support it). You can of course do both (plate mounted switch but still use the 2 extra PCB pins
```

there's also https://kbd.fans/collections/switches-tester/products/kbdfans-super-swithes-tester-60-switches-all-in-one

which is what i'd get

i think it's missing some of the kalih switches

also some repeated switches

That's the one I had saved, but that many more things to try for $10? Why not

ye

lol

im tempted by it as well

actually yeah kbdfans is better imo

more exotic switches e.g zealios

and aliaz

yeah kbdfans is more interesting switches

Oh, shit, no Zealios, yeah I'll get the smaller one

you pretty much just get 4 versions of gateron browns with the 130 switch ones lol

checked the wiki and the sticky, anyone got any advice for cheap non-mechanical keyboards?

Should I just resort to amazon prime like a noob?

nope

UK

I guess £8 for a dell keyboard is pretty decent

I feel like there must be dirt cheap keyboards out there

any site recommendations?

k120 is a good choice

cheap and has all the basic features, i keep one around for troubleshooting other computers

k120s are nice

surpisingly crisp for a thin membrane board

i need to buy a very short usb extension cable, is there any downside to just buying the cheapest one i can see
