Do you want a salad with those steaks, sir?

I really want to try a mechanical keyboard, but they all look super expensive

[HALO3cheif]

i have a huge weakness to clicky and loud keyswitches
one of my next boards that i'm going to get is gonna be a green pok3r
buckling springs are the loving stuff

i haven't been able to find a video of the matias click (not quiet click) switches in action even by searching on youtube. does anyone have a video?


also mechanical keyboard beginners:
if you don't want to spend too much but want to get into mechs here's the thing for you:

https://www.amazon.com/Qisan-Mechanical-Keyboard-68-Keys-Magicforce/dp/B01ABUJ0FY/ref=sr_1_1?srs=7936345011&ie=UTF8&qid=1466462158&sr=8-1&keywords=magicforce

the qisan magicforce is $40 and has a choice between like 3 different outemu switches (cherry mx clones)
the one i linked here has outemu blue which is a clone of the cherry mx blue but on their store page there's more

I believe there is a way to modify the Matias clicky switches to make them click louder, perhaps there is a dampener in the switch slider like with salmon ALPS.

Also, another good tenkeyless mechanical keyboard that is a bit entry level friendly is the Kurama K552

Yes Model M master race <3
Mine's a bit out of shape though, some keys don't work properly. I'm guessing the rivets that hold the internals together are shot, gonna buy some sockets and stuff in the weekend and find out.

Bolt modding can be risky, but will fix your board.

His channel reviews a lot of mechanical keyboards, and some of them are rare and obscure.

Funny thing is, I don't use a headset when I use Skype, so when on call the people complain about my Model M's click, but hey, at least I'm not using my Model F keyboard.

[Zloff]

also not a fan of how they feel or the noise they make. i have one friend who has a mechanical keyboard and it is so annoying hearing through my headphones his keyboard clicking with every button he presses during gaming, and it drives me crazy when he types to chat

i've never heard the modded matias keys but for the third time i was asking for a video of the unmodded matias keys because i haven't heard those either
i don't blame you for misunderstanding because my words can be a bit jumbled to myself some times but god damn

Excuse my ignorance, but the description of the video states:
"A quick video showing what happens when you mix up Matias Click and Matias Quiet Click switches, compared to the originals."

I have a Logitech G810 Spectrum, really nice keyboard

Not all mechanical keyboards are loud
