Title: My KB collection so far (Guess the keyboard model!)
Post by: TheKaren on December 23, 2020, 08:31 PM
So, 4-5 months ago I started collecting keyboards for a few reasons:


A few people wanted to see a pic with them all so here is a picture:

Took away list of keyboards so people can guess, great idea Ryan.  :P

The majority of them are actually really good for roping, but some of them are too sensitive for individual notch movements, these are among some of the things that will be covered when I get round to doing reviews on YouTube.

i have Microsoft SideWinder X4 (Rubber dome over membrane)
and a gk64 (previously Gateron Silent Red, now Gateron Silent Brown)

one keyboard i have in plans is a dz60 with a 5 degree orange case, but getting a reliable hold of keycaps is gonna be a challenge

That is lovely VoK, were you inspired by Ducky type keyboards? Kinda looks like one of those smaller Ducky Varmilo keyboards  :)

Is that the keyboard you are currently playing on? Can you give us the technical specifications?

Building my own keyboard is on my list of future things to do, right now I am saving up every penny I can towards a new PC.

I'd love to see a little demonstration video of that though!

Cherry MX Board 1.0, equipped with cherry brown switches.
Got it back in March of 2020. iirc.

Felt cheap compared to previous keyboard (HyperX Alloy FPS with cherry red switches), but it's actually better than that one. Reds were ok for roping, miserable for typing. Don't think I'll ever move from brown switches in the future. They're golden middle between blues and reds.


Heard good things about CoolerMaster CK550 keyboard with Gateron Browns.. Might go for that one, if this Cherry board ever dies on me.

I buy full sized keyboards cause big + key adds a distinguished flavour to my godlike max bounce nades in BnG.

This is actually true, apart from the godlike nades.. WA is the only reason for not considering tkl kb.

@DENnis - Holy f@#!, you have a real veteran keyboard there, I bet if you sold that to one of us and we started tapping on it, there would be some vietnam style WormNET flashbacks or something.  :D #PTSDKeyboards

@Anubis:

So, I wonder if there is a Model Name and Model Number, because on the label on the back I don't see what you've wrote anywhere, BUT, that does match up with some of them.

Top Left: Lenovo Preferred Pro (they took over IBM KBs at some point)

You are right with this one.  :)

However, this confuses me, I wonder what Preferred Pro is in relation to the keyboard because going by what it says on the label on the back of the keyboard the Brand is IBM Lenovo, the model is SK-8820, I don't see Preferred Pro anywhere on the keyboard, BUT, if I google SK-8820 it does say Preferred Pro in description, interesting.

IBM LENOVO SK-8820 / Preferred Pro.


Top Mid: IBM Rapid Access II White
Below Top Mid: IBM Rapid Access I Black (no media keys)

It doesn't surprise me you got this right as you actually told me about them so I bought them on your advice.  :-*

Weird though, if I search for "IBM Rapid Access II White", I find the exact keyboard which is "IBM KB-9930 ". If I search for "IBM Rapid Access I", it shows me IBM Rapid Access III which isn't the same, and I cannot find "IBM Rapid Access Pro I" anywhere, and when I google the Model No which is "IBM KB-9910" I don't see any mention of it being "IBM Rapid Access Pro I".

However, the "IBM KB-9930" does find results as the "IBM Rapid Access Pro II", which is just, weird...

But i'll give you that one anyway, it makes sense, probably some missing information on the internet.

Black+Red KB: Corsair K63 (not 100% sure)

This one, i'm afraid you got wrong!  :P

3/4, not bad! Best so far anyway :)

Yes, I read that you wrote about that keyboard and you motivated me to post mine !·D

 :D Well, uncountable many hours of Tower Races, (Surf-)Shoppers and other rope games. I had to repair my space bar 3 times already and I still play with space bar for rope. Feels still good !·D

I repaired my Roccat Kone [ + ] mouse buttons "Omron D2FC-F-7N", too. They caused a lot of multiclicks. So I replaced them with Omron D2FC-F-7N for 20 million clicks !·D (I don't like that there were even in gaming equipment the cheap ones for max 5 million clicks placed XD)

Time to play friends !·D
