Read More »Not keycaps, not switch types, but sound. And if you get it just right, the sound draws you in to its rhythm, its beat. Taeha Kim, the beloved keyboard content creator, tells us that the keyboard world also calls it “thock,” in an attempt to come up with a word that captures that dream sound of the keystroke.
And the building happens through the group buys that so many of these keyboards are available through. You pledge to buy a kit or component parts. You wait, and wait, and wait until the campaign is done. You wait, and wait, and wait until it’s fulfillment time. You get the parts and put it all together. Kind of the ultimate delayed gratification, resulting in the ultimate satisfaction when you finally do your typing test. And there’s a bond in that, a soldering between you and all the others who experience a spark of excitement, the mounting suspense, the long wait, the great unveiling. You might not even like it at the end of all that! So there’s the thrill of risk too.Group buys aren’t the only option though. You can buy ready-to-ship pre-made keyboards and ready-to-ship parts for custom builds. The CORSAIR Gaming K70 keyboard, for example, comes built with Cherry MX Red switches and contoured keys. Ducky, a Taiwanese company that just wants to give people the best typing experience possible, makes keyboards ranging from minimalist styles to celebratory Chinese New Year ones. For just under $100 (at the time of writing) you can get a premade Durgod keyboard on Amazon. Or if you’re more comfortable with a name brand and are willing to pay a little more, there are options like the Logitech G513 with built-in RGB lighting, or the fully-split Kinesis Freestyle Edge.We can’t promise that you’ll buy it and be done. Once you’ve gotten your first taste, you might get a craving for something a little more punchy, a little more stand-out, a little harder to come by. You might find yourself clicking away, carried off by dreams of Turquoise Tealios and GMK Metropolis.
