Mionix Zibal 60 Keyboard

I recently purchased a Naos 3200 and Propus mousepad and love both of them. The mouse is great for palm users/people with large hands I really like the understated branding/efficient software from Mionix.

I've been looking at investing in a new mechanical keyboard and am interested in the Zibal 60, but since it's fairly new I can't find much feedback about it. From what I've read it uses the same internals as the Meka G1, are there any forum users that have experience with that keyboard/black switches?

Thanks!

 

Do you have a mechanical keyboard right now? Geekheck and/or Deskthority are better places to look for this kinda of info than NBR. I type of a Cherry G80 MX11900 (MX Black) myself, but the biggest difference is that its PCB mounted not plated mounted unlike the Zibal 60 (according to specs).

I found the MX Black to be alot more comfortable to type on (for long hours) compared to MX Blue (I recently sold a MX Blue board). Of course, it is also quieter. But I do type slower on the MX Black, which I am willing to accept.

 

I looked at Geekhack but I was looking for more user experience typing with MX blacks as opposed to lengthy discussions on keycaps and stabilizers that I found there.

I used Blues (Razer) and while I liked the keystroke feel, the build quality of the board was awful (had the space bar hitting the alt key problem) so I did not keep it.

Thanks a bunch!

 

I am a browns guy, but I like blues and think reds may be my next purchase.

And yeah dont get a Razer Mech they are horribad.

I did not like the blues as much until after I did a o-ring mod, that is what really brought them to life for me.

This keyboard looks very interesting to me, its probably way better quality than what Razer has and way cheaper than the Deck so it could be "the" keyboard to get if you want a backlight mechanical.

If it is pcb mounted that means switch modding is possible

If you want a cheap portable mech for laptop use look up the KBC Poker

 

That sounded kind of racist for a second there!

 

^Lol, but that's true. Most speed touch typists don't use black switch.. I find it tiring for long hours. Actually Johnny T is the first I hear recommending it for long hours. I guess cherry's on a different level with razer/ss
as for Zibal, I got the chance of trying it last month, courtesy of a friend who owns it. I find it better than Tt meka G1 or BWU (typing wise). It feels more solid than G1. I got to admit it does have all the features of G1 though.

 

Edited my post lol you guys always looking for the low blow

 

Just take a swing with your mighty axe.
Problem solved. ;3
