/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Stating you are from another board is the first mistake.
But you seem like a nice person, I can't help you though.

Are you looking for a mechanical keyboard or a JAPANESE mechanical keyboard?

Because if you just want a keyboard simply ordering a filco or a das will be cheaper than buying one from a store there.

GET OUT!

A Japanese mechanical keyboard would be fine, I plan to throw blank keycaps on whatever I buy and use a US typeset. I heard they have some nice products that are a little cheaper online, plus stores where you can buy MX keycaps.

>>10021473
Sorry, I won't make this mistake if I post here again.

>>10021477
Are you just mad cause no one wants you on /g/, so you're taking it out on this guy?

See, now sparky has gone crazy because you're from /g/.

>>10021482
we shouldn't set off sparky, something could go wrong!

someone, quick! think of some way to calm him!

>>10021479
The mistake is saying where you're from. I never understood why people do that.

Anyways, there should be plenty of stores with neat stuff you might like. I don't know about keyboards, but just walk around and explore. That's part of the fun.

Y-you too.. I didn't mean to upset anyone. I didn't know /g/ had a bad wrap on other boards.

>>10021485
Thanks a lot, I'll delete this thread soon. Sorry again.

>>10021484
IT IS HER!!! NOT HIM!
>>10021488
/g/ IS A SHITTY PLACE!
AND YOUR GOING TO AKIHABARA?
GET THE FUCK OUT OR ILL RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS OUT!!

>>10021479
Wait, how exactly are you benefiting off buying a japanese keyboard and using blank caps?

Other than being able to say "it's Japanese" I'm not seeing any logic behind this. I can assure you anything Das/FIlco/Ducky make are equal in quality to what Japan produces.

>>10021488
It's because /jp/ has real programmers.

>>10021490
Your very polite like the Japanese...
I will not kill you if you do me a favor.
Please stay in /jp/ and never go into /g/ again.

I do not want to you be like those fucking PRICKS!

>>10021508
and real PC otakus

>>10021505
Well, it was more different coloured keycaps and things I was after. A friend of a friend supposedly had their relative bring them back a bag of them from Akihabara, hence me coming here to ask you guys.

>>10021490
It's okay, you don't have to apologise. Or maybe you do. It's cute.

>>10021516
PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD

I AM VERY JEALOUS!!

>>10021516
But you can buy multicolored keycaps in the states. (Presuming that's where you live)

>I heard you guys have some pretty strict rules in regards to what can be posted here, but I'm going to ignore all that and post off-topic shit.

Okay.

I hope you get murdered in Japan, OP.

I think you would be better off getting a mechanical keyboard online, but by all means explore.

It would be more difficult to ship back, but if you are at all interested in Japanese 80s/early 90s computers (before they started making IBM PC clones), this would be the perfect opportunity to get one.

Pic related, here's a Sharp X68000 (left) and an FM Towns (right).

>if you are at all interested in Japanese 80s/early 90s computers

I am....

Just buy one online, I'm sure it's much cheaper anyways.
Sorry I can't be of much help, you seem like a good person.

>>10021550
Can the X68000 play the pre-windows touhou games?

I hope you get a kidney stolen.

>>10021665
No, the pre-Windows Touhou games were developed for the PC98, an entirely different hardware platform.

That's a bit like asking if a Nintendo DS can play PSP games.

Before IBM PC clones forced everyone to follow that standard, Japanese PC manufacturers designed their own hardware platforms, mostly or entirely incompatible with IBM PC software. The Sharp X68000 machines had a different CPU architecture (Motorola 68k), custom video hardware, and a Yamaha FM sound chip. The PC98 machines were based around Sharp's x86 processors, but featured entirely different supporting hardware than what the IBM PC standard mandated.

For a decent part of the early 90s, Microsoft sold versions of Windows modified to run on PC98 hardware. PC clones eventually beat NEC's PC98 architecture on price, because there were dozens of PC clone manufacturers and only one company manufacturing PC98s, so in the mid 90s, NEC switched manufacturing generic PC clones as well and ended the era of Japanese computers being their own special designs.

Enjoy you're history lesson, /jp/!

OP!
How do I become a computer genius like yourself?
