** The Official OcUK Mechanical Keyboard Thread **

Picked up the razer blackwidow stealth edition in their recent 50% off sale, feels massively odd coming from a mac keyboard with its chicklet keys :p

Seriously impressed with how nice it is to type on though, i'd gotten use to the low-profile chicklet keys, so i didn't honestly think i'd get along with going back to a keyboard with large keys.

Doing just fine! Just got to remember that the return key is actually only one row high now.
 
Has anyone got the Noppoo Choc mini?

Some of the key symbols are incorrectly binded to the Keycaps. Basically the keystroke doesn't represent what is on the keycap.

As I didn't get a manual with mine can you point me in the direction of one in case I have something turned on/off.

Thanks
 
I just recently bought a Razer BlackWidow ultimate 2013 and love it! was a great upgrade from my old G15 (old school), the keyboard makes gaming and computer work amazing, especially if you like games like starcraft2..

Noppoo is in US ANSI layout whilst your OS is probably set as UK ISO, you can change this in keyboard settings in your OS.

It is a lovely keyboard, though expect the most used keys (WASD) to fade a little. It is my only complaint.

Indeed! :(
Hence my interest in swapping out certain keys for plain white.

I think i asked this before, but are keycaps keyboard specific? i.e. can i buy keys for any mechanical keyboard and use them on my Steelseries 6GV2?

Edit: Apparently i did.

You can, the only "weird" (unique, wont fit anywhere) keys on 6gv2 are the big Enter, small right Shift and the |\ key.

So with that in mind. Where's the best place (in the UK) to get key caps for my Steelseries 6GV2? I'm looking to get them in plain white for W,A,S,D,left Shift and Space

No, as long as the doner board uses CherryMX switches you're golden. I think some standard keys won't fit the Steelseries though, IIRC the Enter and right shift are odd sizes. I think you can get white PBT keys on ebay for the Steelseries though, might be worth checking that out before buying a board just for caps.
 
New toy, a Ducky DK9087 S2, MX Reds, Blue LED, TKL.

They have some really nice features on their backlighting - especially the reactive one, really want to see it in action. I wanted the DK9087 G2Pro which was black with white PBT caps with MX Blues, but it's sold out everywhere :(

Sweet.
I just want left shift, w, a, s, d and space.

Any UK sellers of keycaps? or shall i buy from WASD?
 
I've bought caps from both, QWERKeys are very helpful with really good quality key caps and imo, WASD seem to just take caps of any colour (good quality) and pad print on the cap, so not sure how QWERkeys are useless tbf.

Maybe you haven't seen this page?

edit: I didn't spot an earlier post of specific keycaps. You could email them to see if they would do it, but I'd guess at a higher price than WASD. :)

"We only can offer Modifier Keycaps (Shift, Ctrl, Alt etc) in Minimum Order Quantities of 100"

Because they don't hold stock of much of anything, It would be a custom order that can take flipping ages.

They're very expensive.

Going to place an order with WASD this weekend.
 
My Esc key from WASD finally came.

Looks really red in the pictures but it's more a a red/orange mix. Really like it, it's basically my GTFO button and it looks nice in contrast to all the other black keys.
