I think the solution here is to not be German

[little glen]

What are you even saying

Taking a day off if there‘s a gap between public holiday and weekend is a normal thing that people do

[harsh dove]

https://prototypist.net/products/group-buy-matrix-lab-navi-keyboard-kit

Looks like just top mount?

[little glen]

Idk why you‘re acting as if i said you should take the rest of the week off regardless of when the public holiday lands

[median spade]

Hmm interesting

[pure magnet]

How's it acceptable that you send out a package a week ago and it takes a whole week because of a single holiday day 🤷‍♂️

[harsh dove]

Very

[median spade]

You're too spoiled by capitialism tbh

[pure magnet]

You seem to be really relaxed in life generally

[harsh dove]

I am determined to find a way for the frog to sound good with Alu plate and HE switches lol

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

And they had no foam in that video

I’m so hurt

[polar girder]

Ok I mean I could put on the pc plate and put it in a redux for an extra $100 😅

[harsh dove]

I think with what you’re explaining, you could sell it for around $300

[median spade]

Tbh I never trust Korean sound tests if im being honest

They always wildly different

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean I know I can’t get it to sound exactly like that but at least close

That’s my hopium anyway

[pure magnet]

Nah Germans have a tendency to just accept the status quo, it's in their DNA.

You'd have to cutt off someone's finger for them to respond.

[median spade]

Germans also like to complain a lot I've noticed

[pure magnet]

They only complain and don't do anything

[harsh dove]

Hey, they make my GMK keycaps

[pure magnet]

There are exceptions

[harsh dove]

New Durock V3s should be here today for testing

[sweet oak]

[crimson sky]

[untold wigeon]

In terms of spacebar sound, how does this sound to you guys? It sounds good but really different to other keys (which is to be expected). I've noticed when the spacebar returns, there's a clack. Any way to dampen that out? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/431214166116663308/1247231674354499714/20240603_175053.mp4?ex=665f4683&is=665df503&hm=ac03f850b4e775da2a783c808c55fa64aa93b06a12b1789d3f349fa722b59fd8&

I may be overthinking this

[agile grove]

have you tuned the stabilizer? that make make it a bit more silent.

[untold wigeon]

Tuning? I've done the holee mod, re-lubed them and put some foam in the spacebar.

[harsh dove]

Sounds fine to me but can try putting a desk pad underneath or getting spacebar foam or putty

[polar girder]

https://nuphy.com/products/ghostbar?variant=40570735755373

[polar girder]

Tuning = make sure it’s straight and such

Like make sure the wire is level and all that

[harsh dove]

Oh he already said foam

Oop

[polar girder]

Truuue

[harsh dove]

Yeah sounds fine either way tbh, just echo from the desk

[untold wigeon]

Ah, I haven't checked to see if the wire is level. Either way, I think I've gaslit myself into thinking it sounds off as I've spent every day listening and tuning this spacebar

[urban harbor]

I agree with trying a mat under the keyboard, i find that helps a lot with funky sounds

[untold wigeon]

Yeah, that sounds like a shout. I've placed it on a bit of fabric and it cuts out some of the oddities

[harsh dove]

Yeah can get cheap keebmats for like $10

I got this leather one that I just leave at work

[polar girder]

Just get an XXL mousepad

[harsh dove]

lol

[untold wigeon]

I used to but I got a glass mousepad

[polar girder]

https://www.amazon.com/Pulsar-Superglide-ALUMINO-Silicate-Anti-Slip-high-Density/dp/B0CSCNWWPZ/ref=asc_df_B0CSCNWWPZ/

There ya go

😅

[untold wigeon]

Ah, I'm a UK person

This would've been my first pick but no one really sells it here

[polar girder]

I mean a glass pad wouldn’t help much with acoustics anyway lol

[untold wigeon]

Yeah, buy a whole ass glass mousepad to put another pad on top lol

[agile grove]

I have one

they're pretty good

[harsh dove]

Yeah definitely

[harsh dove]

It would not lol

Probably just more resonance

Or a weird hollow clack

Do glasspads have feet or do they lay flat?

[agile grove]

I move my keyboard around a lot and the rubber on the mat has less grip than the rubber on the redux so it makes it easier to move. plus it makes the keyboard sound better since the sound isnt vibrating through the desk as much.

[harsh dove]

Seems pretty flat ig

I was thinking the glasspads might be slightly elevated and have empty space underneath that could cause a hollow sound

[untold wigeon]

They usually are elevated

Not by much though, I had to get higher rubber grips for clearance on my powerplay mat

[full lodge]

Hello, I'm just looking for information, I don't know much about keyboards, having used a G910 almost forever. I would like to try the adventure with the H80, do you know of any slightly original keycaps that are suitable for this keyboard? In ISO FR

[fluid ravine]

Me making some theories on how the nipple case works

Mounting and plate wise

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s somewhat similar to the 80HE except that it’s not a two piece case like the 80HE

I am interested in the silicone gasket though because it’s a 2-piece gasket and you can take the middle out and have nothing there for the alphas or replace it with foam

[polar girder]

Yeah idk bro

It’s just a friction mount

But like plate pad instead of o-ring style

I’m like 90% moved on from it and want to hit a frog mini now

I wish it was just legit gasket mount

But then it wouldn’t be same price lol

[harsh dove]

Frog mini is aesthetically better imo, and likely sounds better but idk yet tbh, the 461E could sound pretty good

I would say frog mini over that tho, but it’s also like $100 cheaper than frog mini

[polar girder]

Yeah I have a guy trying to sell me black frog mini for $293 shipped

Might just cop

Was going to wait for 461e but idk if I care now

Like you could just use that silicone gasket for any tray mount and it would probably work lol

And not have silly nipples

[harsh dove]

I see what you’re saying, but unfortunately it wouldn’t work

[polar girder]

Ik

[harsh dove]

That case has cutouts on the inside for the gasket

[polar girder]

Right yeah

[harsh dove]

But I agree

[polar girder]

It’s a pro friction mount

[harsh dove]

Would be cool to be universally used

[polar girder]

But not gasket

[harsh dove]

Haha kinda

[polar girder]

lol

[harsh dove]

You’re just going for a quieter board right?

[polar girder]

Yeah

[harsh dove]

Have you tried kilmat in your board?

[polar girder]

And/or lower pitch “thockier” also

Yeah I have it in there rn

[harsh dove]

Oh okay nice

You have tofu?

[polar girder]

Yeah

Friction mount with stem swapped raptors

[harsh dove]

Did you use that super thin foam liner it came with?

[polar girder]

I’ve tried everything

[harsh dove]

Not the case foam, the one that goes between the switches

Oh okay

[polar girder]

Oh not for plate

That’s my next step tho

[harsh dove]

Oh okay yeah I tried that and kinda liked it

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I’ll go with that one

Swap to plate mount stabs with foam for friction mount for now

[harsh dove]

It doesn’t fit perfectly with screw in/clip in stabs but it still works as intended

[polar girder]

I have stock screw in stabs rn. But have TX AP plate mount and clip-in at home

[harsh dove]

Ah okay nice

[polar girder]

but with something in between the plate and PCB and friction mount the stock stabs don’t work for me

Backspace is stuck

So gotta swap

[harsh dove]

With plate foam insert?

It doesn’t work for you?

[polar girder]

Yeah I think I tried foam and silicone pad

I might have foam in rn I forget lol

Idk lol

[harsh dove]

Hmm weird, maybe check if the foam got stuck in the stab somewhere idk

[polar girder]

It’s just the something in between makes the o-ring a little too taught and it gets stuck in backspace stab

When nothing in between it worked fine

Idk

I think I want gasket/tadpole mount with plate mount stabs anyway

To absorb any vibration

Just an idea

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair

[shadow juniper]

Its a analog sensor but bipolar sensor and u cant use an bipolar sensor in ur keyboard, so u use an linear sensor, so the DRV5053 cant be use ?

[median spade]

are you like trying to build your own he pcb or something btw

[shadow juniper]

Like what I saying before x) I like retro engineering and I like to know how things who I like work so, I really want to know how they do to work bcs Its the first brand I see they do that and I wanted to know how to do to work

(Sorry for my eng xD)

[austere creek]

of course you can use a bipolar switch

just stop asking AI for engineering help

yesterday you even trusted ai that DRV5053 isnt a sensor

[shadow juniper]

This video explain exaclty how work HE sensor, how that can be use bipolar switch if u have only like ON / OFF output ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhVj5FF8Qxo&pp=ygVSRGlmZsOpcmVuY2UgZW50cmUgdG91cyBsZXMgY2FwdGV1ciBoYWxsIGVmZmVjdCBsaW7DqWFpcmUsIGJpcG9sYWlyZSwgZXQgdW5pcG9sYWlyZQ%3D%3D

[austere creek]

analog-bipolar isnt bi-polar/latch

analog-bipolar means both magnet directions work

[shadow juniper]

Oh damn okay so what work : Analog-bipolar and linear that right ?

[austere creek]

yes

i also even told you about an existing opensource project with PCB files and all that does analog sensing

[shadow juniper]

Okay that the answer thank u

[austere creek]

although they replaced DRV5053 with another sensor so they can order it on JLCPCB with pick and place service so it comes preassembled and doesnt need soldering

https://github.com/minipadKB/minipad/tree/master

[shadow juniper]

Yep minipad-master

[austere creek]

you can also just use that sensor especially since it seems you have 0 knowledge on electrical engineering, pcb design and such

if you use the parts they use you can order the pcb assembled which would be a big advantage

[shadow juniper]

That totaly true but I wanted to learn and I guess its a good idea to learn how that work ?

[austere creek]

i would recommend trying to modify the minipad then to have 4keys

[shadow juniper]

Okay I'll see imedialty but that work with KiCad no ?

[austere creek]

should work with kicad

[shadow juniper]

Okay great

I'll install KiCad

[shadow juniper]

Okay so after I can modify all the rest

[austere creek]

yes but start small

in this case adding 1 key

that way you dont start from 0 with a project

but still gain knowledge

[shadow juniper]

Of course I dont want to start with a big things

Thank man ! :D

Right thank u I have full visu on the project its really nice

[smoky breach]

hey all for burger mounting in the tofu redux do i burger mount all 5 screws or just 4

[pure magnet]

Can't get in Europe right?

Did you swap the switches from stock facing.

?

[harsh dove]

All of them

[harsh dove]

Stock facing?

North facing?

[polar girder]

Idk sorry

Maybe aliexpress has them idk

[harsh dove]

https://shelter.shop/products/nuphy-ghostbar

[polar girder]

Think I might go Nylon plate to match the raptor housing

Even tho stem swapped raptors probably not end game

[cedar gate]

I'm not an rgb guy at all but I can definitely appreciate wooting has quality rgb

Inferno with pbtfans crosshair and tofu black looks clean tho tbh

[harsh dove]

Yeah don’t care for RGB either but Wootings is great

[cedar gate]

I honestly didn't buy the 80he even tho it had everything I wanted because of the rgb strip

[oak carbon]

Which third party switch is good for gaming? With the best raw input data

[cedar gate]

Raw data I believe raptors

But they have a ton of magnet problems

Like the magnet is too strong so the keyboard kinda messes up the outputs

[oak carbon]

How about other switch instead of that

[cedar gate]

For sound and feel jades are without a doubt the best

[oak carbon]

Ah ic

[harsh dove]

Stem swapped raptors or KS20u dual rail are good

[cedar gate]

That's technically opinion but most people who have tried jades love them

[harsh dove]

If you don’t mind reduced travel then Jades or Lavenders

[oak carbon]

Reduced travel sounds good to me

[harsh dove]

Jades are 3.5mm
Lavenders are 3.8mm

[cedar gate]

Something to consider ks20u is the exact same as lekker but with dual rail

[harsh dove]

Yeah

Sounds the same basically

[cedar gate]

So if you don't like lekker you won't like ks20u

I kinda hate lekker it sounds like magnets to me

[harsh dove]

Wait what?

[oak carbon]

I am okay with lekker but just looking for something that can perform better than lekker switch in general

Which is performance wise only

[harsh dove]

Why would they not like jades if they don’t like lekker

[cedar gate]

To me jades just sound more like a normal switch

[cedar gate]

Typo I meant ks20u

[harsh dove]

Yeah closer to Mx

[oak carbon]

Sound doesnt matter to me since i cant hear it when i always wearing my headset

[harsh dove]

Ah okay

Yeah

In terms of performance there really isn’t a better switch than Lekkers

Performance comes down to the firmware/software

[cedar gate]

Are you OK with the feel of lekkers L60 is kinda heavy for my taste

Feel is a part of performance

[oak carbon]

Is okay for me

If too light i might mispress

😂

[cedar gate]

Well if your OK with sound there are better mods than switch swap for you

[oak carbon]

But I wouldn’t mind to try raptor and hade

Jade*

[cedar gate]

Like customize the look with keycaps or tofu

[oak carbon]

I might just buy both switch of 10 piece each of it

[oak carbon]

Keycaps do make a different of it?

[cedar gate]

What I would recommend is save up 200ish and get a tofu 60 redux because you can add jades for a discount

[oak carbon]

Ah ic

[cedar gate]

Wdym?

[oak carbon]

As in the switching they keycaps does the texture feel different?

Or idk

[harsh dove]

Depends on the keycaps and the quality of them

Most common are ABS and PBT plastics

And really just comes down to personal preference

There’s no best

[oak carbon]

Ic

[stray tiger]

Did anyone catch Nix's stream on the RAW Raptors? (Im assuming he did one last night while I was asleep)

[fluid ravine]

Ah shi i forgot

[smoky breach]

anyone know where i can get gummy oring for wooting

[fluid ravine]

CannonKeys (Bakeneko) or Graveshift

[harsh dove]

No but I’ll go look

I see nothing

Unless he streamed on another platform

[stray tiger]

Nah nothing on his tiwtch either.

[harsh dove]

@wary pollen poke

Holy

@stray tiger you seen this?

Pssh everything already sold out basically lol

[lament grotto]

instantly

[wary pollen]

change of plans, gonna be streaming later this week so the follow-up comparison stream won't have too much of wait cuz the client build will arrive some time next week

[harsh dove]

Ah okay sweet

[wary pollen]

had to catch up on a whole year of sleep deprivation (thanks Capstone)

[harsh dove]

Oof

[uneven cradle]

Man there's another keycap set I want 👀

[sweet oak]

Share

[uneven cradle]

https://klc-playground.com/products/gb-gmk-rubrehose

[stray tiger]

The best part of that set is the ability to order a Kahku or a Jane

[uneven cradle]

yeah I saw that, but I like the keycaps set. I guess if I can get a Jane on top that's a bonus

[sweet oak]

i see what you mean

[stray tiger]

I feel like once the set ships my GAF deskmats are going to go up in value quite a bit.

[uneven cradle]

I was thinking about getting one of the deskmat's too

[stray tiger]

I meant the original GAF mats, not the kits ones

[uneven cradle]

yeah I looked it up looks nice

[loud zephyr]

Did you enter GAF's new(ish) sculpts? The legendary legend returns

[stray tiger]

Of course

[loud zephyr]

best of luck!

[stray tiger]

Thanks there is no shot though. I did get to meet Kudos at Keycon though so that was cool

[pure magnet]

Where 😲

[harsh dove]

Omnitype

Most of it’s sold out already

Gotta be quick on their sales

[pure magnet]

Link?

[harsh dove]

https://omnitype.com/collections/damaged-packaging-products

[pure magnet]

Meh wasn't that cheap, least to me

Still 130 for a set

Who knows then if there's something wrong with the caps if the package is damaged

And basically you have to accept that

Too expensive for that

[pure magnet]

Anyone tried that one?

[harsh dove]

They’re not $130

Discount doesn’t apply till it’s in your cart

And all the keycap sets are sold out

[harsh dove]

Not sure

I haven’t

And don’t plan to

[pure magnet]

Looks like it's only compatible with that space bar

[fluid ravine]

Going to best buy for no reason pt 2

[pure magnet]

What you're using for the padding?

[harsh dove]

In my spacebar?

Nothing

[pure magnet]

Used to buy simple foam from Amazon but they have Ludacris prices now

[harsh dove]

I’ve messed with museum putty in my spacebars but I usually end up not liking it after a day

[pure magnet]

These things are weird, the inserts, they look like they collide with the switch

Usually you're supposed to just put it in the frame to just dampen the resonance

[loud zephyr]

Oh nice, I read Gaf's recent interview which was a nice little insight into his life and the method in his madness. But his popularity virtually means no soup for you! It's my first ever entry, so here's hoping

[pure magnet]

I'd dig that set but for 50 bucks 😂

Really weird pricing when you compare it to this

Is wey an add for a car brand?

[heady terrace]

how many switches are in the 60 again?

[pure magnet]

Around 60 🫢

[wary pollen]

just get a 70 pack and you're golden

[heady terrace]

yea i got a 70 pack but was just wondering the exact

[pure magnet]

Depends on ISO or ANSI

[wary pollen]

61 on ANSI

[stray tiger]

I need to trade some keyboard stuff for some CS2 skins

[pure magnet]

Lol I'd rather have the key caps

Fuck this, besides a few skins I kept I sold the valuable ones

Playing Vanilla besides stuff like the AK / frequently played guns

Also my knife was worth 650 at some point

I got it for 89

So I sold it

[wary pollen]

GMK really does have significant sound diff compared to other doubleshot ABS caps

[pure magnet]

Nice Tweezer

[pure magnet]

Yeah due to their thickness and better quality abs

[stray tiger]

I used to have a full load out but sold almost everything during the pre-cs2 announcement when skin prices exploded. Think I got $1k for my knife and $1k for the gloves

[pure magnet]

I do prefer it to PBT

Just GMKs

[wary pollen]

dye sub PBT on plastic plates is a nice pairing though

[pure magnet]

Yeah but that kind of made be beyond that

It's not my main game anymore, I play hunt Showdown also a lot

Which is really much more fun than CS2

Especially with a premate

[stray tiger]

I still play CS2 when I have time. I mainly just pug in premier so it's usually mildly infuriating

[pure magnet]

Doesn't everyone play premiere now since the map based rank?

[uneven cradle]

I just play when friends are playing I ain't ever queueing up by myself

[stray tiger]

No clue what everyone plays, but it's what I play. I've floated between 7k-13k but don't take it too seriously.

[pure magnet]

Have you guys tried Hunt?

[sweet oak]

know some friends addicted to hunt

[harsh dove]

Indeed

They’re the best to do it

[harsh dove]

Back when it first released, yeah

Used to play a lot

I check up on it from time to time

Heard they have a huge update in the works

Basically an overhaul

[pure magnet]

Yeah kind of like CS2

[harsh dove]

Super fun game

[pure magnet]

I mean I'm just saying it's generally more fun than CS2

And has the same competitive itch

Flicks, accuracy, gun variation, nades, similar to CS

And the satisfaction is also similar from the playstyle

Just a lot tenser and more variation the way encounters happen in the game

And most of all, not so many cheaters and no Russians to play with

I see Hunt Showdown players bitch about cheaters right now a lot but man, do they need go play some CS2 and be happy

Still don't understand why they simply can't do hardware bans, just ban the damn motherboard and have the cheater buy a new PC every time

[uneven cradle]

Because it's useless for stopping actual cheaters and very easy to bypass

[stray tiger]

Cheating exists, I accept it and deal with it. If I really want to avoid it I'll play using Faceit or something but I'm not playing competitive anymore so it's no biggie

[pure magnet]

I dunno, lots of plugin manufacturers use that and it's impossible to bypass unless you crack the software

[pure magnet]

Yeah it's ok, I'm not getting too mad about it, but the way they treat it is more accepting than disallowing

[polar girder]

Yeah I’ve been playing a mix of faceit and premier

On CS2

Never played this Hunt you speak of tho

I was thinking to get the faceit plus for better matchmaking

Although faceit already seems like a huge upgrade from Premier in quality of matches

[uneven cradle]

It's very easy to bypass hardware bans, and it causes problems for people who don't cheat too. If you buy a second hand PC which has a hardware ban

[polar girder]

Imagine being such a loser that cheats tho. They’re not above pawning off banned hardware on an unsuspecting victim.

Sad.

[elfin garnet]

Valve loves cheaters so much that they made it possible to rent skins so cheaters could buy and have skins on a weekly basis. Cheater getting banned? No worries. Get a new account and rent the skins again

[harsh dove]

Rent until Ban

Then repeat

[elfin garnet]

Fuck Valve and Gabe. They only think about money

[polar girder]

Yeah plus majority of skins are prob traded on steam market

So they’re skimming off every transaction there also

Pretty big

CS2 also best game to exist so there’s that

Purest shooter. No loadouts or abilities.

[elfin garnet]

I hate CS2 so much just because its the single reason my friends are not willing to try anything else

[polar girder]

Everything else is inferior.

Hate the other games for sucking. Lol

[elfin garnet]

Cheater haven cannot be superior to anything

[polar girder]

Their abysmal lack of anti-cheat is a disgrace

Can’t lie

[pure magnet]

Try it, it's really competitive and fun

Also looks amazing

[polar girder]

Although I don’t think it’s directly affected me first hand very often

[elfin garnet]

It's so obvious that they want it to be the way it is, it's disgusting

[polar girder]

It’s a VR game?

[pure magnet]

No it's a competitive shooter with NPCs

[elfin garnet]

I dno if you are US or EU, but I'm EU and my games are infested with cheaters. Russians in every game just doing whatever they like without consquences

[pure magnet]

Basically you start on the map, have to collect clues, fight a boss, gather the bounty and extract

[brazen sparrow]

I liked CS tried valorant

val's fun

find it harder tho ngl

[polar girder]

Val has abilities and shit tho

[pure magnet]

But several teams spawn at the same map also

[polar girder]

I’m good on that shit

[elfin garnet]

Riot managed to make a game that's slower than CS. Yeah, I'm good.

[pure magnet]

Trailer is pretty cheesy though https://youtu.be/TVjLmaLgB1M?si=vfhDju7rcJg1_8A0

[polar girder]

I mean it’s 65% off on steam Rn

I’ll check it out. Thanks for rec

[pure magnet]

It's a fun competitive game

Especially with a friend

You can decide your own pace and playstyle

And it's really rewarding for people with good aim and skills

And requires lots of CS type game sense playing

It also has skill based matchmaking

[polar girder]

Weird ass trailer

Just a montage of the 8 million different ways to die

[polar girder]

Ok this actually looks sweet

The trailer I saw on Steam was whack af lol

[pure magnet]

Yeah, it also becomes a type of CS2 update

Even though it still looks incredible

Depending on the time of day sometimes even romantic lol

I mean, in the beginning, you'll have to deal and learn the NPCs

But experienced players pretty much bypass 90% of all NPCs

And focus on the PVP fights

Kind of a learning curve

[pure magnet]

https://youtu.be/9vGaJjqr5eA?si=C--dtiIr085r4qah

[pure magnet]

That's a good video showing the game https://youtu.be/xEx0G0S1oRg?si=BWBYncqVDMzAK9AE

[median spade]

[polar girder]

https://divinikey.com/collections/neo-ergo-keyboard-kit-and-components/products/qwertykeys-neo-ergo-case

Kind of want to build one for my wife

[median spade]

valorant better than cs and it's not close

[fluid ravine]

Nuh uh

As a valo play neither one wins

[polar girder]

Why does Valo beat CS

Tell me

[harsh dove]

chuckle

[median spade]

yeah theiy both suck but valo better

[harsh dove]

I wanna get an Alice Layout for my moms

[harsh dove]

They both suck and I play neither

[fluid ravine]

Honestly I'd hold hands with bigsly

[median spade]

Thought with using abilities around gameplay, gunplay is better in my opinion and CS still feels floaty, I prefer map design on valo,e tc

[harsh dove]

Based

[polar girder]

lol I’m just waiting for a solid CS2 bro to come around

[fluid ravine]

No war here

[polar girder]

Yeah I’ve never played Valo TBH lol

Probably never will

[fluid ravine]

LOL

[polar girder]

[pure magnet]

@polar girder it's actually really mad when you have the only bounty from the map and all teams come at the same time to your location lol

[polar girder]

Sounds like a game style I’ve never played

Could be interesting

[pure magnet]

I dunno, to me it's a very very similar to CS but with abilities

[polar girder]

Yeah fk abilities

[pure magnet]

I mean literally it's a plant a bomb thing lol

[polar girder]

I don’t like the RNG of team based games with abilities

Can be such a throw when solo queue

Never know with rando’s

[median spade]

I mean there is no RNG really

[pure magnet]

Yes me neither, I love utility but not ability

[median spade]

it's same thing as people not knowing how to smoke or use flashes

[polar girder]

Yeah but isn’t there a pool of heroes

With abilities

[median spade]

There is yeah

[polar girder]

And they’re all different

[median spade]

Indeed, and there is strats for certain maps and who playhs better on it etc

[pure magnet]

Yeah each one has a different ability, Smoking, teleporting et cetera

[polar girder]

Right

Yeah I’m good on that lol

[median spade]

You play overwatch wym

[polar girder]

I mean I’m not saying I’ll never play it

Yeah but CS2 game I actually like

[stray tiger]

Ive tried to play and enjoy Val atleast a dozen times and each time I go back to CS. Val just isnt my thing

[polar girder]

Yeah and that’s why I don’t love OW lol

[pure magnet]

Was the same thing for me, interesting concept but I overall prefer the simplicity of CS

[polar girder]

It’s a decent game that I enjoy from time to time. But CS2 is the game I’m actually playing majority of the time

I have like 4x as many hours in CS2 in like half the time lol

[stray tiger]

Val is a good game though, def something the community needed and Im glad it exists. Competition is good.

[pure magnet]

True I agree on the competition

[harsh dove]

basically Extraction Shooter

[polar girder]

The whole hero meta thing is just another level of strategy I don’t care for really

[harsh dove]

Like Tarkov

but different

[polar girder]

Gotcha

[stray tiger]

That's why I never played Fortnite. The building put me off and now that they introduced nobuild modes it's too late

[pure magnet]

Tarkov is VERY different though from Hunt besides the extraction and gear / level

[harsh dove]

I used to be cracked on OG Fortnite when it first came out in Alpha/Beta

and played till Season 4ish I think

maybe 5

then dropped it

[pure magnet]

In Hunt you can have really fast matches, really depends on how you play

Die fast lol

[polar girder]

Right. Yeah no build Fortnite was fun until I realized half the players are bots. Actually

[harsh dove]

Yeah extremely different but same genre

[polar girder]

I could never play the build one tho lol

[harsh dove]

Yeah was too late for me too

didn't care to play again for No Build

[polar girder]

Yeah it got me to finally try Fortnite lol

[harsh dove]

Plus I hate their UI

[polar girder]

Whole game is pretty funky

FPS > 3rdPS

Art style pretty cartoony

[pure magnet]

I'm getting very similar flick shots and skill based kills in Hunt as in CS which is really satisfying

Like you can have the biggest gun but a headshot is a headshot

[sweet oak]

I play the guitar hero mode mostly besides no build

[pure magnet]

@harsh dove I'm really excited about their engine update / other things in August

Gonna be interesting

[harsh dove]

Yeah same

[pure magnet]

I wish people would play more with voice chat like they did in the beginning instead of Discord lol

That was fun

These random conversations when a team approached you while banishing outside the compound

Lol

[cedar gate]

Fax man

The only fps I actually play is VAL tho and I'm not actually a super serious gamer

[pure magnet]

I had quite the crazy VR phase but after bone works and half life alyx, it kind of desintegrated

[marsh saffron]

the only thing id really end up using vr for would be racing games

[cedar gate]

I only play a few days a week and for no more than 2 hours

[cedar gate]

Too busy lol

[pure magnet]

It's nice, but I guess it's either or when it comes to CS and Val

[cedar gate]

Sim racing with vr is cool but tbh I like monitors for that too

[cedar gate]

I prefer val I like the abilities

[marsh saffron]

monitors dont have anywhere near the same feel

[cedar gate]

Makes it interesting

[quiet bay]

I’ve learned to only play Valorant when I feel like it so my mentality doesnt drain

[pure magnet]

I mean that's CS for me now lol

[cedar gate]

I kinda prefer monitors over vr for Sim racing still

[marsh saffron]

unless your rocking a triple ultrawide setup, you need to crank your fov to fucked up levels to get good view angles with sim racing

[quiet bay]

Im washed now but atleast I get less brainrot everyday now 🙏

[marsh saffron]

i just never liked val

felt like worse csgo

[pure magnet]

I'd still play Val over Fortnite lol

[marsh saffron]

i havent touched fortnite since its first week it launched BR

never liked that game

[quiet bay]

Fortnite is mid as hell now

[marsh saffron]

3rd person bloom shooter 🤢

[pure magnet]

Join the hunt gang as well, I'm advertising the game here like I'm the dev lol

[pure magnet]

I could never get into that whole building thing

[quiet bay]

Looking at that video I know damn well I’ll barely run that 😂

[median spade]

hunt showdown

[quiet bay]

I dont think my gpu can that take amount of…realism

[cedar gate]

Yeah I'd just get 3 monitors if I loved racing that much (I dont)

[harsh dove]

get 3 ultrawides

[median spade]

you play hunt if you like cheaters and not being able to see anything when you aim your gun

it's a fun time

[pure magnet]

It's fine, good friend of mine I play the game with is still rocking a 970 lol

Was it 970?

[marsh saffron]

id just go buy a used quest 2

[harsh dove]

true

thats why its fun

[polar girder]

Blinded and cheated on?

[median spade]

they took worst iron sights in history of fps

to heart

[polar girder]

Oh fuck

[cedar gate]

Yeah building to me is way too much for a shooter

[polar girder]

That’s shame. I always like iron sights

[sour blade]

buy a car

[marsh saffron]

i have one

[sour blade]

🚙

[polar girder]

Car for VR? Since when

[sweet oak]

nice car

[sour blade]

thx!

[pure magnet]

Depends always on the gun and whether you play with the gunslinger or hunt profile

[marsh saffron]

although i enjoy going felony speeds in real life, cant do it all the time. thats why sim racing is fun

[cedar gate]

It used to be so popular in back in my elementary school and I'm like bruh let me play my COD stop asking me to play fortnite

[pure magnet]

Gunslinger is basically really good for CS players because you have your gun already in hipshot position with a crossair

[marsh saffron]

assetto corsa + the shutoko revival project is fun asf

[pure magnet]

So many cheaters for you ingame?

I barely see them but I'm upper rank, probably happens more mid rank

COD was always for me that Console game with aim assist spam shooter haha

[marsh saffron]

i quit cod after bo2

but came back for mw2019

[polar girder]

I was a cod bro for a year or two

Half way through Warzone lifespan

Verdansk ffar/kar meta times

[pure magnet]

Warzone was fun for a little while

[marsh saffron]

aim assist was aids on mw2019 but the gunplay was very good on kbm so we could still compete

[sweet oak]

im a cod zombies enthusiast

[polar girder]

Got an Xbox to play it then had to upgrade to PC

[marsh saffron]

activision didnt like that so they just cranked up visual recoil for every cod after it(of which aim assist completely negates)

[marsh saffron]

i used to love older zombies

cold wars was ass

[pure magnet]

Apex is a weird one isn't it? For us in the room hehe

[marsh saffron]

cold war zombies wasnt a matter of if you will die, rather when you get bored and want to die

[pure magnet]

I don't hate it but don't love it either

[sweet oak]

cold wars zombies was middle of the road, not terrble but so much left to be desired

[marsh saffron]

cold war zombies was FAR too easy

[sweet oak]

agreed

[marsh saffron]

it just wasnt fun after the first 4 days

[pure magnet]

I enjoyed the zombies in blackout, the Battle Royale mode

[marsh saffron]

i speedran dark aether and never touched that shit again

[sweet oak]

especially when you got your equipment upgrades it becomes braindead

[pure magnet]

With the wingsuit

[marsh saffron]

the most fun cold war zombies had was the first time i picked up the raygun when it did 300k damage

after that it was just zzzz

[pure magnet]

Zombies in COD is basically Hitler summoning hell isn't it?

[sweet oak]

nah,

[marsh saffron]

a lot of cods zombies is nazi experiments but not exactly this

[pure magnet]

Gotchab

[sweet oak]

and lots of time travel

[marsh saffron]

yeah

[pure magnet]

Wasn't Activision always like "we know this game is shit but we do have a zombie mode"? Later on

[marsh saffron]

a lot of the stories stem from nazi experiments at some point in time combined with a bunch of other stuff

[pure magnet]

They always made sure the zombie mode is nice

[sweet oak]

nah, anything outside of treyarchs zombies was pretty much glossed over

[marsh saffron]

yeah treyarch were the only ones with decent/good zombies

hopefully bo6 zombies is actually like, engaging... unlike coldwars

[sweet oak]

only okish one outside of treyarch was infininte warfares

[pure magnet]

Now 6 is coming old? Cold war something?

coming out

[sweet oak]

gulf war

[marsh saffron]

cold war was 5, 6th is the new one

[pure magnet]

Gulf okay

[marsh saffron]

its gulf war this time?

[sweet oak]

ye pretty sure

[pure magnet]

Saw the trailer is out, didn't bother checking it yet

[marsh saffron]

could be a cool one for the guns we might get 🙂

also heard it had omnidirectional boots on ground movement

which im curious about

[sweet oak]

or sometime after the gulf war, since lots of their promo is about the government and the 2001 teaser

[marsh saffron]

i always kept saying after they killed mw2019 the only thing that could make cod decent again would be embracing movement

[sweet oak]

so people think 9/11 is gonna be in it

[pure magnet]

Problem with cod for me is that it feels like they keep using the same engine and update it visually?

[sweet oak]

same unified engine since 2019

[marsh saffron]

vanguard, mw2, and mw3 are all built off the same engine

which was a modified mw2019 engine

[sweet oak]

only cold war was an exception

[pure magnet]

Ah okay so ever since the big beta

[sweet oak]

since that ones different

[marsh saffron]

the irony that these games feel like shit but are built on the best engine cod has ever laid their hands on

[sweet oak]

2022 and 2023 are so damn blurry messes

[pure magnet]

Well I mean, when the first cod came out, I couldn't believe it was running on Quake 3

And then they used that engine in updated variants for a loooong time

[sweet oak]

[marsh saffron]

mw2019s engine is, and likely will be for the forseable future. the best engine cod has ever had

that game felt incredible

its a shame they killed it off

[sweet oak]

just wish they would fix how blurry it is even with fidelityfx

[marsh saffron]

mw2019 didnt really have that issue

[sweet oak]

2019 is so much clear

the new ones just dipped it in vasline

[pure magnet]

It's still messy though when it comes to multicore support but then again which game isn't

[marsh saffron]

the only issue with 2019 was the color pallete, which was an easy fix with a vibrance scaler

[sweet oak]

yeah

2019 was a good game

[marsh saffron]

good game, ruined by lack of content and balance patches

[pure magnet]

A 2019 felt like they put some effort into it, also with warzone

[marsh saffron]

if they had adjusted spawns for respawn, and actually kept up with weapon balancing

[sweet oak]

yeah it was definitely a hail mary for them

[marsh saffron]

2019 would have been the best MP cod has ever had IMO

it had a lot of issues im not going to sugar coat it

but its not like they werent fixable

they just refused to

[pure magnet]

It did feel very fluid though and new at the time

[marsh saffron]

mw2019 would still have a massive playerbase had they just kept updating and fixing it

[sweet oak]

2019 still looks so visually better than the new games for sure

[marsh saffron]

2019 was unironically one of the best feeling fps games ive ever played

[pure magnet]

Yeah their mistake is they keep Fifaing the game and should make a multiplayer variant that's actually consistent

[marsh saffron]

warzone killed one of the best MP cods ever created

[pure magnet]

Yup I agree

[marsh saffron]

had they not released warzone and focused on MP instead of just ignoring it, that game would be the best MP cod ever created (imo)

[pure magnet]

I mean they've always done one thing, dropped it and then went onto the other and complete neglect consistency

[sweet oak]

it would definetly be in my top 10 if they had done that

[marsh saffron]

mw2019 is my #1 for cod, it beats bo2,mw3,bo1 all of them

in terms of how good the game felt

bo2 had the most well rounded gameplay id say

everything was good

mw2019 is easily one of my top 5 games ever

do keep in mind i basically ONLY played snd

mw2019 is without a doubt the best SND cod ever created

i will die on that hill

[sweet oak]

snd is the best game mode

besides domination

[marsh saffron]

nah respawn game modes are mid

snd is the game mode for me

[sweet oak]

dom is the only one im fine with

[marsh saffron]

ffa was fun on 2019

[sweet oak]

never was a fan of ffa personally

[marsh saffron]

it wasnt my favorite mode but it was always a reliable mode i could go play whenever i wanted a break from snd

i liked it for reactions

because you can hear everyone in VC at all times

made for some funny clips

[sweet oak]

frorced vc was always funny back then

[marsh saffron]

M13 my beloved

And p90/mp7

I miss them so much

[marsh saffron]

I still remember my exact class by heart

Also the tracer pack for the m13, so sexy

(I know this is keyboard modding but I love this game)

I miss it so much

The amount of wallbangable surfaces was so fun for getting clips

[pure magnet]

Yeah it was really good, it was very fast paced and flowing

Like it adapted well with different play styles

I think I liked the pace a lot and the accuracy, that balance of that 2019 COD

Anybody wants to add me on steam for hunt later this week?

[marsh saffron]

Yeah it allowed kbm and roller to be somewhat balanced

Roller still obviously being stronger

They didn't like how accurate good kbm players could be at range so they added a shit load of visual recoil to combat it

But aim assist completely negates all of that visual recoil so it just made roller WAYY more op

[median spade]

aim assist ruins modern gaming

can't stand it

[visual sonnet]

can i use sponge for sound dampening mod

[fluid ravine]

well thats new

Never seen anyone asked that before

[polar girder]

lol cool idea

so long as it's not too thick you could definitely use it

i don't see any issue

[fluid ravine]

Yeah why not be the first to try it

[paper bloom]

U can

But it will spund a bit mushy

[marsh saffron]

real asf

[lament grotto]

Anyone have recommendations for a decent 75%/TKL pcb/kit?

Want to build a keyboard with the spare switches I have and give it to a friend

[uneven cradle]

what's your budget

[rich monolith]

Hey @harsh dove what custom case are you using here #🔧│keyboard_modding message?

[harsh dove]

Salvation

[lament grotto]

To keep it within 200-250 (it’s intended to stretch a budget)

[uneven cradle]

Gem80? Or maybe the Neo80

[hollow hamlet]

Total noobie here. Had wooting for a year now and used it for cs primarily. Recently found out that people do tons of mod on it they look really cool. What do you guys recommend for new guy?

[rich monolith]

In your opinion what case is th best and why?

[marsh saffron]

case swap

and new keycaps, easiest things you can do to completely change the look

[hollow hamlet]

Would you recommend alumaze60 or other alternative?

[marsh saffron]

i prefer the tofu redux

[hollow hamlet]

Don’t know what type of keycaps im looking for. Never paid attention to the different profiles so. Budget is not issue

[marsh saffron]

there is a list of compatible cases somewhere but the tofu is probably one of if not the most popular option

[hollow hamlet]

Tnx

[marsh saffron]

the next set i was gonna pick up is pbtfans BoW

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-bow

And here's my 60he rn with wootings white keycaps

In a white tofu

[hollow hamlet]

What mouse are you using?

[marsh saffron]

Beastx mini

[hollow hamlet]

Looks clean

[marsh saffron]

It's very nice

[hollow hamlet]

I never really took keyboard and mouse as aesthetically before so.

[marsh saffron]

Yeah my 60he was my first custom/modded keyboard

Gonna be picking up some new switches soon

[hollow hamlet]

Wonder what color to get

There is ton of option for tofu redux

[little glen]

Pick whatever case color you think looks coolest and choose keycaps accordingly

[harsh dove]

It’s really personally preference, depends on what you’re looking for, typing angle , weight, overall aesthetic, sound, etc

[visual sonnet]

i fucked up my razer

[hollow hamlet]

Anodized maroon looks cool

[left depot]

oh thats a pretty colour

[marsh saffron]

if i didnt wanna do a white build i wouldve went with that

[hollow hamlet]

I like red/crimson color so

[little glen]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-bordeaux?variant=45115006746892

These could work

[harsh dove]

https://wooting.io/product/alumaze60?Color=Just+White - Wooting just dropped a couple new colors for the Alumaze60 btw

[marsh saffron]

dang that pink looks good

[harsh dove]

Also new cable colors

[hollow hamlet]

What profile of keycaps would you guys recommend?

Wooting keycaps is oem right

[little glen]

Cherry is nice

[hollow hamlet]

I don’t have experience with different types of them so

[little glen]

If you dont know what you‘ll like i‘d just get cherry profile

They‘re a bit shorter than oem which helps with ergonomics

[hollow hamlet]

Okee

Recommend any stores?

[little glen]

What region are you in?

Dont want to be recommending you na stores if ur in eu or vice versa

[uneven cradle]

https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/

I dig the Osume keycaps myself

[marsh saffron]

1000% getting the white cable

[uneven cradle]

although I have 3 GMK sets now 💸

[little glen]

Cant wait for my new gmk to come

[uneven cradle]

what'd you get? the GMK CYL Bordeaux?

[hollow hamlet]

Usa

[little glen]

Mictlan

I wish the osume were available with international :(

[hollow hamlet]

Just ordered anodized maroon case guys

Now keycaps

[little glen]

Take a look at the ones i posted earlier

GMK bordeaux

Those might work for you

You‘ll need to find em on an NA store tho

[hollow hamlet]

Thank you!!! 😊

[hollow hamlet]

Oke

[uneven cradle]

nice I ended up getting the GMK Rubrehose

[little glen]

I like the rubrehose, wish they sold just the accents

Cause i already have a beige gmk set at home 😭

[uneven cradle]

yeah full kit only so 💸

maybe I'll end up with a Jane too who knows

entering very dangerous for my wallet territory

[little glen]

Oh i already have

Doesnt help that i bought a pc upgrade as well just a few months ago

Then went and spent a bunch of money on other shit since

[uneven cradle]

It's alright pay rise with back pay incoming soon

[little glen]

Pay rise means more gmk/month

[uneven cradle]

true

you know you need an end game for each % board

and a matching keycap set

[little glen]

Matching keycap set that ends up costing more than the board itself

Important

[loud zephyr]

Wow nice color! don't forget dat gamer WASD for added accuracy

[uneven cradle]

idk I'm pretty sure the Jane will be at least $550 barebones

[little glen]

[hollow hamlet]

Haha I think I don’t need directions anymore

[hollow hamlet]

Damn

[harsh dove]

Don’t forget custom cable

[paper bloom]

You can run the wooting's keycap ones

[harsh dove]

I also got the rubrehose and waiting for invite to grab the Jane

With the desk pad lol

[hollow hamlet]

I love the case color

[harsh dove]

Also waiting on my protagonist

And 461E

[loud zephyr]

thanks! kinda hard to find matching caps though so I just went blank

[uneven cradle]

me like

[harsh dove]

Yeah it’s nice

[loud zephyr]

I want to love that case but, man.. that F13 blocker throws me off; pretty nice otherwise

[harsh dove]

lol true

[left depot]

are you looking for purple or just something else that fits the scheme?

[limpid slate]

anyone got good and simple black keycaps

[loud zephyr]

nah, I'm pretty settled. I haven't touched my kb for a while

[left depot]

fair enough!~

[hollow hamlet]

Gives me Pandora’s box glove vibes from cs

[crimson sky]

it's optional

[loud zephyr]

I haven't played that game in ages, I couldn't stop buying stickers and putting them on every gun

[hollow hamlet]

I play competitively and saw other people with cool looking keyboard and wanted same

[loud zephyr]

I'll have to ignore the invite and settle for the keycaps instead. Kinda tempted if the normy F-Row is available

[crimson sky]

I personally really don't like the rubrehose styling

[loud zephyr]

I just wanted beige kaps but probably could've settled for gmk classic, or something else

[uneven cradle]

I dig the aesthetic, really enjoyed cuphead

[loud zephyr]

yeah give it a go, I think you'll like having that added heft with an alu case; and whatever keycaps you choose

[hollow hamlet]

Tnx 😁

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like the art style a lot tbh

Just got this pad recently

[left depot]

thats awesome!

[crimson sky]

it's so ugly

[harsh dove]

[harsh dove]

Thank you

[uneven cradle]

very nice I got the black and white deskmat too

[harsh dove]

Yeah same lol

Also getting this soon

[marsh saffron]

that one looks insane

[uneven cradle]

damn how many deskmats you got

[marsh saffron]

where is that from

[harsh dove]

Inkwellkeys

They’re limited runs

[marsh saffron]

if im ever in the market for a desk mat i might pick one up from them

if they have somethign i like at the time

[harsh dove]

Definitely

[marsh saffron]

those look sick

[harsh dove]

Can check out their Instagram for other stuff he’s done

[hollow hamlet]

Gosh there are so many websites to choose from and when you go into it most of keycaps are sold out

[harsh dove]

https://tenor.com/view/running-home-bugs-bunny-jump-hiding-gif-8509983

[uneven cradle]

just gotta filter by in stock if that's what you're looking for

[hollow hamlet]

Ye some websites doesn’t have the feature

[harsh dove]

GMK Jamon

[hollow hamlet]

Looks nice

[harsh dove]

Idk what you’re looking for exactly, I just saw you were getting the maroon tofu

[steady wedge]

anyone tried kbdfans holy60 with wooting 60 pcb?

does woot 60 compatible with holy60 housing??

[uneven cradle]

it is, not a big fan of how it sounds though

[steady wedge]

well im planning to use raw he switches from geonworks

but anyways, wooting 60 compatible with holy60, i see. thank you

[uneven cradle]

https://youtu.be/DSGwlzI5h5g?t=1231

don't think there's much you can do to fix that spacebar sound

[pure magnet]

Get it with icons, the texts are gruesome, returned my PBTFans Spark R2 and decided to go with WoB GMK

Texts on PBTFans look like they went out to a pub last night

Is there a similar accent set like that with colorful blasting your eyes on black caps?

[loud zephyr]

Dracula 2 has a lot of accent pieces but not quite as exciting as Mictlan

https://omnitype.com/collections/keycaps/products/gmk-dracula-v2-0-keycaps?variant=41621401305257

[proper plume]

Can’t wait to swap my switches don’t really like the feeling of the wooting default switches

Anyone had any experience with jades r they any different?

[little glen]

People tend to like them a lot more

[polar girder]

Yeah they’re fairly different

[sweet oak]

Geronimo!!

[harsh dove]

Morning folks

https://tenor.com/view/tired-native-hair-good-afternoon-bad-day-gif-16684140

[proper plume]

W?

Got white keycaps already

Also what’s the difference between the tofu normal and the redux

[cyan zodiac]

buy buy buy

[harsh dove]

First one doesn’t have the adjustable usb port

[uneven cradle]

way ahead of you

[cyan zodiac]

[uneven cradle]

how could I pass up an offer like that

[harsh dove]

Too many offers

[little glen]

Man the rubrehose stuff looks so good but it sucks they dont just sell the color pieces on their own

[harsh dove]

They might have some extras after the Gb

[little glen]

[uneven cradle]

not sure they will since it's selling as a full kit

think 660 sets

[cyan zodiac]

they won't

1 set or nothing

[little glen]

I dont want to buy another set of beige gmks just for this

[harsh dove]

I was just tryna have the very slight possible they do lol but yeah I know it’s basically full limited kits

Basically less than 1% chance lol

[little glen]

I mean whatever i have a set i‘m happy with and i‘ll get another soon

That will do for now i think

I‘m just interested cause i could get those and dualshot base kit and have 2 sets like that

[uneven cradle]

I imagine overwhelmingly the people buying the keycap set are also wanting the keyboards

[proper plume]

Anyone here from the uk?

[uneven cradle]

I think I'm sold on the Jane but guess I'll see what Elaine cooks up

[sweet oak]

Omg found the bongo cat desk mats are still available

Waiting for my paycheck

[little glen]

What does it look like

[sweet oak]

I like XL

[little glen]

Thats nice

[harsh dove]

Yeah I enjoy both boards but that TGR Jane is noice

Always wanted a Kohaku too tho

[cyan zodiac]

kohaku render are out already

[harsh dove]

Damn

That’s a tough one

I think I like the art more on the Rubrehaku

[uneven cradle]

can always get both 👀

[median spade]

Spending $150 to have the opportunity to spend $700 on a kohaku

I genuinally love how Elaine loves to completely avoid making Unikorns truly amazing when that'as what everyone wants instead

[fickle shell]

I'm planning to get the jade switches, do I need to change the stabilizers too?

[harsh dove]

lol true

[dapper kernel]

i have this

[sweet oak]

[dapper kernel]

[left depot]

cute!

low the lil paw key

[dapper kernel]

there are many version of it with different cats

[harsh dove]

Yeah man best deal

lol

[sweet oak]

The tiger and moon variants are my favorite

[uneven cradle]

[dapper kernel]

it actually feels kind of nice to touch too

[median spade]

2020-2021 would have done it too

me*

[harsh dove]

Very fair

I just like that art style

[pure magnet]

Which shop?

[harsh dove]

Depends on where you live

KLC Hobbyist, Cafege, and Oblotzky have the GB afaik

US, AUS, Germany respectively

[harsh dove]

Settled on getting the Rubrehaku

Layout better than the Jane imo

Plus art design

[median spade]

[harsh dove]

[ember gorge]

the jades are so sexy

i didnt think it would make so much of a difference

[hollow hamlet]

What you guys think of this one

[harsh dove]

Not bad but you can get GMK abs for around the same price , unless you just really like that set, GMK has better legends

[exotic wasp]

I really don't understand the hype around gmk it's pretty overpriced and it's profile makes it sound quite clacky

[stray tiger]

It's not for everyone but I'm curious why you believe it's overpriced. What are you comparing it to?

[exotic wasp]

Any other set of pbt, it's like a 100 dlrs

For ex I'm going with the 80 dollar coffee shop pbt set and I still think that's quite expensive

[stray tiger]

Why do you believe the coffee shop set is quite expensive? What are you comparing it to?

[exotic wasp]

Any other less expensive set that is like 20 to 40 dollars and still comes in great quality

[harsh dove]

I know Tirade can explain it far better than I but out of all the sets of own ($20-250+), theres quite a stark difference in quality all around

[elfin garnet]

Also, it's not just about quality but where it was produced and by whom

[harsh dove]

Yeah, paying the artist royalties etc

[stray tiger]

I think I understand. Let me see if I'm right. Because there are manufacturers out there that can produce a set of keycaps using questionable materials, questionable labor practices, questionable work environments and not having to pay royalties to the designers who created the colorways, you believe that the companies who do charge more are overpriced?

[stray tiger]

Quality is a big part of it too yes.

[median spade]

clacky is best that's why

and gmk spacebars unmatched

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some keycaps under 50$ and I came across this set, what do you think?

Big fan of the colorway just not too sure about quality

[stray tiger]

If they speak to you, get em!

[fickle nest]

I know at under 50$ I'm not expecting greatness but they shouldn't be worse than my stock keycaps lol 😅

[median spade]

Unless they are...

but those are decent

Pretty good review of them here

Legends aren’t the greatest but not the worst either

[fickle nest]

Ah great, thanks!

[smoky breach]

Guys where can I find gummy oring for the wooting in Europe

[median spade]

aliexpress

I also think PTBfans is overpriced, the sets for 100 bucks, the text legends are really bad

[harsh dove]

Yeah, unless you really don’t like ABS, GMK is unmatched

There’s some brands that come close forsure but it’s not the same

[pure magnet]

I mean, PBTFans isn't bad, there are worse things such as these sub-dye sets from Traitor for 60 upwards, just lots of these sets should be lower in price

[harsh dove]

Yeah I like PBTFans

[pure magnet]

I mean, are we already that conditioned that we accept now weird fonts on keys?

[harsh dove]

Yeah I can’t do weird fonts or bad legends, I feel like I notice them instantly

[pure magnet]

Weird times

[harsh dove]

I’d look up how it sounds before buying btw

It takes “hollow” keyboard to a whole new level

And doesn’t sound good with HE switches imo

Purely aesthetic case really

If you don’t care for sound

Just skip to 20:00 for sound test with regular keycaps instead of the metal ones

[undone flower]

idc how it sounds i dont use my computer without headphones on

its not like the stock wooting sounds amazing

this is for like bringing to lans or playing games

i got another keyboard for typing :o

[harsh dove]

Yeah fair enough

[undone flower]

thank u sm bro :3

[harsh dove]

Yeah no problem, just don’t want you to buy it thinking it’ll sound amazing

It def looks cool tho

[undone flower]

ty lol i kinda assumed it sounded like poop

[harsh dove]

Yeah I mean it’s not bad with mx tbh

Damn after watching that video , ima rebuild my salvation lol

At 27:00, can see how good the Holy60 sounds with mx

[undone flower]
