alright wtf

why are full keyboards with a numpad and everything so difficult to find in white and with mechanical switches and goddamn what in the fuck. why are all of them like friggin laptop sized keyboards, what in the ballfucks.

@Nine i thought it wasn't too hard to get an old IBM model M?

@Felthry also I kinda want one far less loud than a Model M. I LOVE those clickies. anybody I'm playing online with over voice will not however c_c;

Apparently Cherry MX Brown and their equivalents (usually also Brown coloured but different brands) are the sort I need if I want silent but clicky kinda, and are good for a mix of typing and gaming - which I do.

but finding a good, full sized keyboard that can do that (and that also has rgb lights cause I wanna be shiny now) is apparently hard.

@Nine how hard is building your own? we've heard of people doing that
-F

@Nine a lot of the userbase of mechanical keyboards are people who are only interested in converting calories to javascript and think that the website running at 30FPS on their £23,000 AIO macintosh is just fine.
Then you have gamers, who generally don't need a numpad, and then you have people who make keyboards, who can add or exclude a numpad at their leisure

@kyra hhheccckk I just wanted a nice feeling, robust, not too loud keyboard that wouldn't be hard to fix if things went wonky. And also one that would match my new predominantly white PC ;w;

(also one I can light up in pretty colours because shiny and also this tecknet keyboard is wonky but is a membrane one and the numpad 7 key keeps triggering randomly)
