every middleman charges high for international shipping

you can buy without a middleman, but then you have to decode chink and still pay for shipping, but im not exactly sure how it works

you're encouraged to buy in huge hauls to maximize chinkshit:shipping price

I need a new keyboard. I heard ck 104 by motospeed is the one and only but you have to change the keys.

you have to change keys?

what

you mean like the keycaps?

yes, because they look like an alien designed it

kek

if youre looking for a fullsized then yeah ck104 is fine, but if youre looking for tkl or smaller then you have a bunch of better options

what is it about red and blue switches

I do gaming and fast typing.

Theyre very different

Personal pref really

blues are generally shit for gaming because of the tacticile bump in the switch

for the gayming goy you want anything linear, gateron linears are as good or better than cherry linerarsars

I mean they can be ok, if you like them

the thing that worries me is that there is no wrist rest

But almost everyone would prefer browns, amd definately reds

Did you habe problems with that before? Because that is not an issue most of the time

ck 104 only has blues and reds

Im just used to the pad and cant imagine having none

I can play vidya with blues no problem

My fingers get tired in fps after a longer while but I can do this

fingerlet

this

when will they learn

?????

the problem about blues and "gaming" is that, theoretically, the time between actuation and re-actuation is longer than with linears

but as long as you arent korean and play starcraft or earn money with """"gaming""" it is negligible

if you have normal sized fingers, I'd advice against reds and for blacks though. both are linear but black needs more actuation force

me e.g. cant use reds because the sheer weight of my fingers activates the buttons involuntariyl

thats why low profile cherry equivilent is starting to get popular, but imo its just buzzwords like y2k and smh

So can I use every switch on this keyboard? Where to find proper key caps which fit with the leds

the leds are probably integrated along with the switch, the keycaps dont have to be special unless you have some super autismo keyboard

Well, that all depends @JHWH, people dont only buy mech boards because its "faster"

Its about comfort and preference

I thibk the problen with blues and gaming is that when you are gaming, you dont make accurate decisions when pressing, so you dont do full presses and releases, so the bump can get in your way

With typing you know what you will press, so every actuation has the same "difficulty"

Because reds are linear, it doesnt matter at what point you decide to press them, theyre linear..
