so whats the appeal of these expensive keyboards? ive never had any complaints about any office keyboard
The same reason people buy $100 earphones over $10 skullcandys. Better sound and feel with higher quality material used.
If you spend all day at a computer, you might have more exacting tastes for what you need in a keyboard than other people, personally, I can't go back to mushy rubber domes and paper thin ABS caps after being used to a filco with cherry reds and thick PBT caps for so long.
how easy is it to customize their inner workings? do i have to spend a lot more to change which key event gets sent per key on the hardware level?
If you buy an inexpensive prebuilt, your options are more limited, but it's good value for your money if you just want a keyboard.
Customizable ones are generally kits you buy and assemble yourself, modern ones use hotswap sockets so you don't have to solder anything because people like to swap switches all the time, I don't do this personally, this is where mechanical keyboards become a literal meme.
>this is where mechanical keyboards become a literal meme.
how so?
What are some other good site for epbt keycaps. Kbdfans have a good selection but their shipping is like 40 bucks to US.
is dactyl user here? been wanting a manuform for a while now but idk the best way to build or buy one
I forgot to add, higher priced kits have customizable firmware so you can map layers or rebind arbitrary keys to whatever you want at the hardware level.
I say meme because you have people that have gone well beyond any actual need for a new keyboard and compulsively get excited for new products and fill entire walls full of fully kitted out 60% keyboards with boutique colored switches and low production run keycap sets you have to wait 2 years to receive after ordering (called a group buy).
Proper keyboards come with support for QMK which is open source firmware where you can make any key output anything you wish, pretty much.
hey user, this hobby is pretty fun so i can see why people would get more keyboards just to have more fun building keyboards
Recoomend me some cool split keyboards.
I'm thinking about the moonlander because it fits thematically with my build.

I agree that that's a meme, but I don't think hotswap boards are meme tier
dactyl manuform
Yea. If you don't want to build one yourself I could do it for you. Building it yourself would be cheaper of course. Using PCBs like I do makes that build process easier & saves a lot of time compared to hand wiring.
Ive heard shoddy things about the hinged on the moonlander, Id choose the ergodox, or even the dactyl manuform if you wanna build it
>delay
>godspeed
>gyro
>orbit
dactls are literally the fedora of mechanical keyboards
That's just how the godspeed keycap set is. I'd say get dev/titty if you want a more normal set but drop axed the ergo kit.

colemak dh iris chad reporting
bastardkb has good dactyl kits. Im gonna pick one up in a year and try it out
>he doesn't directly transmit signals from his brain to his pc
Intant RSI, better luck next time
The physical layout of the keys matters a lot more than the arrangement imo. Maybe if I can be assed to I'll learn colemak dhm but that's not today.
that would be nice, how much do you charge
