Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.
Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).
Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.
That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.
Keycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone
Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?
True. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits.
Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.
This might be controversial, but at some point just buy a decent repro on AliExpress.
Scandalous!
They def pricier on chassis, plate (foam too!) and ready-to-use designed pcb with components. However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss.
Hello fellow 2hu youkai
Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
Keycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.
Still saving for my keycaps sets
I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.
A typical office keeb is around $15. If you can build this for anywhere close to $150 I’m gonna take 2, please!
I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.
They’re free with the shit boxes we hand out at work lol.

I am pleased that you didn’t use A or Z.
Quality shitpost, sir!
Why would you include both caps lock AND shift but omit A and Z?!
The complete lack of A is concerning.
Or a space key.
But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it’s got that going for it.
You have a backspace.
To do a space you need to press CTRL + Backspace to do a space.
Duh…Is that true? the space bar is a keyboard shortcut?
My latest keyboard doesn’t have a ctrl on the right side and it took me 2 weeks to adjust.
This was a joke.
But what you program your keyboard to is your business. If you decide CTRL + Backspace is your space than that’s probably it /shrug.
Just as a reminder though: Your colleague will hate helping you at your workplace ;)
Outside of work, A was part of a Labor Union, a Marxist gathering and an Anarchist bookclub.
So he was let go.I and N were allowed to stay cause they were the ones who ratted on A.
I imagine a single press of shift probably types A
Z on the other hand
Also why have a caps lock on a keyboard like this the only time I’ve ever touched it is for keybinds or by accident
Can still beat Mario64 on Wii VC version.
What? Ya can’t have access at all that; at what situation can ya fathomly have a want to access that?
If you ever do need it, just hit the ol’ fn+super+shift+q,z
If you ever need a ‘z’, just hit fn+alt+Ctrl+backspace.Ezpz
You know, I could do without the letter we’re referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.
What can anyone alternately make about usage?
All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.
A real Geek only need this one
Oh hey! That’s mine :D https://github.com/duckythescientist/BinaryKeyboard
Oh, sorry, I had the image since a lot of years. The world is small
I’m just glad to see someone appreciating it 😁
you got way too many keys you can just type with one button and one button (hold)
That requires more circuitry. Just have the computer check every 0.25s, and if you have depressed the button it is a 1, else a 0.
Instructions unclear, executed a perfect BLJ.
Yahoo intensifies
YAAAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the only problem this has is there’s no way to telling the pc to stop inputting keys
It’s for more confort

Uncultured swine
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts about to spend 1500$ on a keyboard missing over half it’s keys
Two Alt keys and no space bar?
That is the worst keyboard layout i have ever seen. Bravo.
At least you still can press Alt+F4
You can remap it to require less finger gymnastics… I prefer super+q, personally.
But wait!
This keyboard has 45 keys and not 100 like most normal keyboards, so they cut 55%!Normal is 104/105. So 57%.
literally 40 keys AND YOU STILL INCLUDE THE USELESS CAPS LOCK KEY
Mmmmmm delicious irony.
Suka blyat
FN key on quadruple duty
Can I have Sauce? Because it look like !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee material right there.
but why?
