Learn about economics and youâll learn more about tariffs there, but youâll learn very quickly that politics has about the same toxicity online as any degen FPS game
Well that's one way to put it LMAO


Everyoneâs got a stinky opinion on the matter, donât go spreading it on the walls is a good policy 
Me going to the borders


i think trump is a very stinky person with stinky ideas
Whatâs a Tariff?
A tariff is like a fee you pay to bring a toy from one country to another. Imagine the keyboard is a $200 toy, and the U.S. is a clubhouse that charges you to bring it in.
The Keyboard
Itâs made in China.
It has a shiny aluminum case.
The whole keyboard costs $200 (thatâs what itâs worth when itâs ready to ship).
Itâs going to the U.S.
How Tariffs Work (Super Simple)
Who Pays?
The person bringing the keyboard to the U.S. (like a store) pays the tariff. Not the Chinese factory.
How Much Is the Fee?
The U.S. has a rulebook that says keyboards from China get a tax. Letâs say itâs 10% (a common tariff for electronics, but it can vary).
The keyboard is worth $200, so:
10% of $200 = $20.
The store pays $20 extra to the U.S. government for each keyboard.
Does the Aluminum Case Matter?
Nope! The tariff is on the whole keyboard ($200), not just the aluminum part. Itâs like paying a fee for the whole toy, not the shiny bits.
What About Where Parts Come From?
Sometimes, if enough parts (like the aluminum or keys) come from a country with a special deal (like Canada), you might pay less tariff.
To check this, they look at how much the parts cost (in dollars), not how heavy they are.
Example:
If the aluminum case costs $50 (out of $200), thatâs 25% of the keyboard.
If itâs from China, itâs all âChinese,â and you pay the full $20 tariff.
If itâs from a deal country, you might get a discount, but since the keyboard is made in China, itâs usually taxed as Chinese anyway.
What Happens?
The keyboard arrives in the U.S. on a ship.
The store says, âHereâs a $200 keyboard from China.â
The U.S. says, âCool, pay us $20 (10%) to bring it in.â
The store pays $20, and the keyboard goes to shops. (You might pay a bit more at the store because of this fee.)
ELI5 Wrap-Up
Your $200 keyboard is like a fancy lunchbox from China. To bring it to the U.S. clubhouse, you pay a $20 fee because itâs from outside. They donât care about the aluminum caseâthey just look at the total price ($200). If you want a discount, youâd need to prove some parts are from a special friend country, but since itâs made in China, you usually just pay the $20.
Wait I can't buy Keykobo Jindo from geon anymore :c
Yeah when you learn about tariffs in Econ in a vacuum
Frig
Tariffs, politics, trade, policy, everything related
Thockfather with the Great Wall of China text đł
the poor optimum case
Yeah but the thing is if you buy a keyboard from the clubhouse you donât have to pay the tariff
What abt it
So itâs lowkey to punish buying from China and incentive buying from USA
one of the things we cant get because of tariffs lol
but the world doesnât really work like that lol
Well time to buy my stuff from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
You need one? I know a guy.
Itâs unfortunate may 2nd is US doomsday for gaming peripherals
A guy^

i see
pristine ceiling fan
idek anything abt modding, case just looks amazing so i do want
Selling mine for $90
I'm in the US

ooo
Who made this emoji 
u take cashapp ? might hv to cop that
Tariff free 
one of the best side profiles ive seen
tariff free soundsgood to me
Like I said, those GMK keycaps going to be looking really good with only a 10% tariff vs clones with a 145% tariff
Yh
Clones $40 and 145% tariff is $58 = $98
GMK $100 and 10% tariff is $10 = $110

So gamakay switches are no-go?
The silents? Think people prefer the Mathews
Both phoenix and mercury, unless they have other models?
Got the mathews but they have bad wobbles
Gonna try full backspace on my board
Looks like Inkdrop is finally in stock - https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-inkdrop
Inspiration Inspired by Textualis or Textura style of calligraphy, inks and pens. The project was the hardest and most time consuming project we ever did! Why?Because everything is custom hand drawn. Instead of just using some downloaded font and glyphs, we created our own. The font is based on Old English/ Textura sty
One for the small mistakes and one for the big mistakes
LMAO
perfect for all people
lol
yeah i like split BP more
@thorn zealot oring feels more snug now
yeah ima switch back later
YOOO
should be here today
should be, i am just happy that custom went through with no issue hehehe
yesssirrrr
you didnt have to pay extra or anything?
oh hell yeah
imagine you could fit the back plate in a letter
or like a envelope
and just ship it out
lmao
i am still wondering how imma ship it, so that it doesn't get damaged on the way but also dont get too expensive.
usps!!!
did you figure out the weight of it?
according to the vendor should be 50g
I assume when it gets to me it would be in a bigger box.
looks smoool
ill have a friend pay you btw joshiba
yo boi dont got cashapp and all at
idc as long as i get my money
lmao
i just sold my optimum and other shi
maybe some packaging did not get removed when they do the weight
ic
My switches still at custom meanwhile
And ik still waiting on mah fluxes 
my main monitor screen is fcked
checked amazon apparently not a uncommon issue for this monitor after one or two years
i swear i am using lg only from now on
RIP, at least you got good enough spare
its fck because i brought two of the same monitors and now one is fcked idk when the second one gonna have the same issue
shouldve got a cheap second mon with a gud gaming one. but i wanted two mon to have the same color
which is it?
MSI G274QPF-QD
an issue for samsung's qd oleds?
holy sheet
i really really want to just buy a new one from amazon and return the broken one
so much faster than waiting for customer support
What monitor r u using
Is it xg2431?
Ohh ok
I heard xg2431s also have a history of just breaking after a bit
Should I get pulsar supergrips
Hm
LG is the only brand that never failed me
gigabyte mon i had had deadpixel within a month
now msi one has flicker slightly over a year
LG was solid for me for like 2 3 years that i had it
Damn Iâve had my Koorui monitor for 2.4 years and itâs still going strong
Still itâs time for an upgrade Iâm probably gonna get a xg2431
Imma get supergrips for my beast max I think
No owners of the beast max has had issues with the pcb being exposed right
Or any wlmouse
Been using my viewsonic monitor for 3 years+, good enough still for rhythm game
i have to run single monitor for a month? pain
Iâm here running single monitor for 6 months now
Itâs not that had
Again all I do is play games
But like itâs fine
I've been single monitor pilled for like 2+ years now
My pc is too far from my second monitor to do two
Gotta wait for my brother to move to uni then I can use his table
i need a monitor to read paper when i am lookin at code and editing ppt. even when i am on a long business trip i bring like a smo portable monitor. probably use that as my second mon for now
I used my second monitor just for notes YouTube and discord
Ayo thatâs op
Is that cerakeys?
Yes
Of course not
Ngl cerakeys are goated
My friend has them on his 80
Imo anyways
The support guy suggested I send some photos without studio lighting, and also offered to include one keycap in the Indigo colorway in my order.
Thatâs big W
Do you know what gram springs he uses?
0 idea
Damn tell him to send me that set
Ty
Like tester
But he said I can choose which one myself.
I get 1.25u(alt ctrl etc)
Black cerakeys are my ideal keycaps, apart from the 150$ price tag
^
I was curious to clarify a couple of details about the return policy. And I just mentioned that I still canât choose a color, so Iâll only order the B-set.

Random collab, interesting profile
mmm, gmk oblivion but pbt and Berry profile
That is not a colorway that dyesubs well
In all the tariff fun I forgot owlabs case was coming âsoonâ too
the switchpuller in the vid has blackmagic voodoo on it
Soon âą
On other news keycaps still stuck in the US it seems
I guess US is cooked for that case too
If base price is $400, then itâs almost $1k after tariff pricing
arent they just going ship out from nl?
For us they normally ship from us. it doesnât matter though as tariff is based on country it was made so US pays the tariff regardless of where itâs shipped from
rip owlabs in that case
its crazy that it is worse than turkey now
Good thing I got my GT80 case đ„
Gaming peripheral prepper
unless they can somehow drive to Canada or Mexico to circumvent
We need to get boardzy in front of the White House
Make gaming peripherals exempt again
Honestly US folks with money going to do a lot of overseas shopping lol
Theyâll travel to Japan, Singapore or similar destinations and buy what they want locally there
ayy, that's nice of the local economy there
Itâs the less well off folks that get hit the hardest, which is whatâs so messed up about all this
What about second hand items?
Have they discussed that
I buy a keeb for someone and it becomes 'used', then send it, is it still taxed?
Thatâs just how grey market imports basically worked
so it not taxed as harshly?
Well itâs not taxed because youâre essentially just sneaking in items for personal use and reselling lol
i am considering buying a new monitor but i spent so much on monitor recently... RMA is gonna take forever (1 month)
just wait
Scalpers raising their prices in advance since theyâre selling at MSRP now
Itâs already super common in the camera industry with people bringing lenses from cheaper countries then selling it on craigslist or fb marketplace
I think it's better for you to save money
buy a new one and sell the RMA
oh yeah, unless you're in tariffed, then I guess buying a newer better one should be fine
yeh
Make frens who live outside, who can send 'used' goods lol
it's a once in a lifetime event, so this is a once in a lifetime decision
Well mailing is a lot harder to get through
travel will be the only way
Normally the folks who do it bring it in themselves because trying to pass off stuff as used goods gets flagged quite often
sux

lmao
i feel like a lot of used ones in their amazon storage rn
First time seeing that? lol
despite labeled as "new"
I feel frequently returned is more due to people obsessed with perfect edge lighting etc
60hz is all you need
60hz oled
realistically yes
Every monitor get thatâs treatment because the monitor obsessed folks will return the monitor 5 times until they get perfect one for edge bleeding
because i just need a secondary monitor
as long as it looks nice I guess
oled solves that
plus burn is easy to avoid
I'm just gonna stick with IPS
Good enough to me and I don't need true dark for rhythm game
leaked my real name for a sec
mmm, 0.1 response time is nice tho, but 1ms is already enough considering the hardest rhythm game uses 40 inch VA 1080 120hz monitor.
iirc from the reviews i watched, a lot of the ones claim to be 1ms is not true 1ms
including the one i have :3
lmao, what matters is stability. If the note is moving at 10cm per second, it'll keep it at that with as much clarity as possible. That's what I want.
Youâre not real thatâs impossible 
Only joshibasan
my tee hee arrives 15
fuwee
do remember mine have to take another flight to my island
from the main city
no
60 hz only matters on console and fromsoftware capped games
Anywhere else is đ„
30 fps is where itâs at
what about as secondary monitor for work :3
Probably acceptable since desk diving everything looks the same
Okay 3 options
But in the context of gaming 2

Yeah full bp yucky
if i can sell this for 300 then i want a new better monitor from LG instead
tofu 2.0 with rawhuk and geon spring on alu plate
Not 300
300 is on the cheaper end i think
Calculated the cost on my mind, seems similar ish to build this outright minus the labor for custom switch build
keykobo set is 100, tofu is 100, rawhuk is 70, plate is 10 dolla. pcb is 70. already 350.
My gt60 is here
what accent ya get?
Brass and walnut
I was thinking about the north too lmao
They sent me black accent instead of brass one

Thanks!
I already have it ~

Leobog has a new switch as well, comes with the latest aula hero68 SKU
I've never seen this before. I'll buy it!
Itâs also their most expensive switch yet
ooo how much?
$7 per switch
4.88 yuan each
$0.7 per switch
~$1.5 with tariff
mmm, but cheaper than pom.
if it's as good as pom, could be nice
Slightly more base flux so Iâd wager around jade gaming type level
Leobogs
Shorted what?
Im not sure entirely
It was a leobog hi8 se black
After tape mod there was a smell
A wootimg board shorted from a tape mod?
When turned on
Non wooting
I just made a tangent in the convo
If their switches are anything like their boards, run lol
No clue
Lmfaoo
benom in LX60
noice
yall like big spacebar
IS IT TIME???
btw im interest checking a sg (cobblemon) mc server
still not entirely sure it will work, but at least there is space for the daughterboard now, using a tiny extension cable
currently moving switches from the frog mini venom to the db venom
feeling the yearly urge for minecraft

did it arrive
the cable?
yes, it is installed on the pic rn, I will show how it looks underneath later
Anyone know what best switches r for gaming rn updated list please
TTC Kom pom, idk if there are new contenders
true
I hope it wont sound too hollow cause I have to remove pieces of foam that cover the empty space
lx60 can do wireless MX too, batteries would go in those spots
how much does it weight without the battery?
i assume over 1kg then it should be fine
it says 1kg on the specs, but that with the included weight
and I will have to remove it so maybe 800-900g
lightweight board

but itâs gummy mounted, plus upper case piece has additional dampening gaskets, so it will probably counter the hollowness a bit
That's cursed
you think i can throw a bunch of poly fill into a box for packaging?
maybe i use whatever leftover box i have with some polyfill to save money on shipping things out for cam and frog boi
yesh, save money, save the Earth by reusing
IT SHOULDVE BEEN WOOTING

I gotta book one for later this year i forgot
Band i like is coming to my city
Not necessarily tired but worn down. Went fishing two days ago in icy water for 6 hours and it sapped my energy.
We fished the only part of the lake that wasn't frozen
Stunning! I gotta ask: are you on vacation or retired and living the life?
That sounds fun but exhausting
This will be my 4th one this year. This is a smaller one Boy with Uke.
Neither. Just took a day to go fish because we heard the lake had started to thaw out lol
Doing it right my man đ
Good bye fishie
Ever heard of Boy with Uke?
No

Iâve been listening to black country, new road recently
My daughter is a big fan that's why we are going
Iâll check it when i get back to my pc
Earlier today i felt like the left speaker on my headphones sounded weird and muddy and got worried that i broke my nice new(ish) headphones
Took them off and the weird muddy sound was still there so it was not the headphones at least
Idk if thats better or worse haha
Cleaning your ears is cheaper than new headphones lol
Fucked up ear canal is also more permanent than headphones
Anyway, i wanted to ask if someone here has both a gt80 and a 80he travel case
I am curious how well it fits considering the different angle etc
I want to get a case so i can actually take the board to events and maybe gamescom to get it signed but dont want to gamble on whether the thing fits in there
I don't own a GT80 but a few people here do and I'm sure they can test for you. When @harsh dove wakes up and checks his email for Nvidia priority access he can probably tell you.

I assume the strap holder/accent piece will need to be removed but as for the rest i am not sure
It fits pretty easily
Well, soon 200% us tarrifs
https://x.com/ChineseEmbinUS/status/1910669794686148809?t=xjvrBYkTuAHXERHp9_27qg&s=19

No interference or anything due to different height etc?
It doesn't matter what the tariffs are at this point. Once you get to a point where you lose money to import an item it could be 125% or 1000%. You are either profitable or you're out of business.
Well americans are rich they can afford it
If you donât have anything in the lower pocket it fits better but even if you have shit in there it fits fine
Its kinda funny to me that china know they have all the leverage in this situation and they know it
Donât have to squeeze or anything
Tell me you don't live in America without telling me you don't live in America
Hmmm i might have to buy it
Kevin OâLeary wants to see 400% tariffs so these 100%s is light work
Id argue that may not be as true as you think it is. China is in a very bad position here, especially if the US signs deals with Vietnam, Taiwan, and India as is being reported.
GT80 is only in between default and the 2nd feet, so should have a decent fit
Dosent all americans live on credit anyway
That doesn't make you rich, it makes you desperate or ignorant
Living your whole life on credit is a very easy way to get in a bad situation real fast
Just canât spend what you donât have
Ik some ppl that treat their debit cards as credit cards in the wild which is fucking bananas to me
Well debit card is same as credit just on debit u cant borrow money
If you cant pay off your card balance each month you shouldnt be using a credit card. However, the majority of people do not have that luxury
If someone gets your CC you can just cancel it, if someone swipes your debit card, you can kiss any money in your account goodbye
All it takes is 1 time
If your credit card gets hacked, you have hope of recovering the money. If your debit card gets hacked, you are likely screwed.
Itâs such unnecessary risk for no reason
Well i can do easy chargeback on my debit card
Have fun brotha
And i turn it off instantly in bank app.
Id rather someone steal the banks money than my money
Its similar to the saying "If you owe $100, that's your problem. If you owe $100 million dollars, that's the banks problem."
There are other ways of living on the edge that doesnât open yourself up to getting slammed 6 ways to Sunday
@kind helm I don't know how I managed, but it is working
I ended up going with the gasket mount instead of gummy oring cause the plate is for MX, and with the oring it was separating the plate from pcb constantly lol
yea i was gonna ask when you were setting it up
if it uses standard plate then you didn't have to move switches, but i guess it doesn't 
@fluid ravine the delivery came in when the front desk stepped out for like 2 minutes for a room tour. they gonna try again next mon
rip
Most indeed are not
nah it has its own plate and the spacebar sounds trash with gasket mount, rip
I wish I could use the oring mount but I either need a custom plate or fixate the plate to pcb somehow
leggera
lol no, credit is a scam
You know what. Since today iâm not đ§ hater
End of war between POM inquisitors and ass cheap duhuks đ”đ€đ€đ§
Until you wanna get a loan T_T
Pay cash
For a home T_T
Pay cash
Lmao
He bought a cardboard box home. Dont judge
Nah credit has its purpose just donât be dumb with it
I feel sorry for you guys.
We feel sorry for us too
It's a privilege to be able to but yeah, if you can just use it as if it were a debit card and you're good
Yeah I only buy small cheap stuff with my credit cards just to build them up
I buy just about everything I can with it but have never not paid it off
1 purchase 1 payment = 100%
LOL
I started my first business at 21 and filed for bankruptcy at 25. Learned a lot about money/credit/business very quickly. My 2nd business I sold off and broke even. Didnt make a profit until my 3rd business and it was very small.
I feel like a 2 piece gummy mount is a bit better
I gotta figure out how to attach the plate to pcb lol
I have a PC plate too, I could just drill holes through it and screw the plate on standoffs, but won't be able to do that with fr4
Which case/board?
I just made luminkey LX60 work with my venom's db, using a little type c extender, cause otherwise the daughterboard can't mount in the usual spot
Oh nice!
Ive been debating modifying my Midway60 to fit the venom. The JST connector cut-out on the case is like 3mm to far up so I would need to dremel out the case cut-out a bit.
Now I see what youre doing
yeah it is kinda scuffed
I wouldnt call it scuffed. I like the solution. I would wrap that connector with electrical tape though
I did
Ive got a QK60 here that I am thinking of doing something similar with
Hello guys, I am looking for some white keycaps for my 80HE, any suggestions ?
It is fully white
Those are just accents
Could go for BOW too
No worries

I can show some others too but they not on sale
Yeah like PBTfans
or Cannonkeys
or Wuque Studio
but they all $70+
sure if you have more I can wait đ
thanks a lot, I will have a look !
This is going to be a helluva necro, but do you know where to find where these are being sold or is it a limited set @fallen pecan
Other choices that I personally love are

I got a PBTFANS set I can vouch that they're awesome if you go with the BOW (probably what I'd recommend)
what is the BOW ?
thanks I add them to the list !
Black on White
ohh okay !
I bought the GMK redacted
I really like the style !
the shipping is more expensive than the keycaps đ
GMK will shine pretty quickly so if your gonna go with ABS keycaps I'd make sure that's something you want and like
Free shipping on $200, almost makes sense to buy a second set or another item
Depends on his skin. Some people take forever to shine.
Yeah
they are on sale, only 20 dollars so far from 200 XD
âPretty quicklyâ is relative
Yeah if your skin is oiler it'll shine faster
Oh I think you bought the wrong item! Id cancel that order
should be okay then, I dont sweat a lot
Thatâs just novelties
I didnt look at the stock, but that $19.99 is for the novelties
what is this
You would want the base kit which is out of stock - https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-redacted-keycap-set?variant=32034367438922
ah
xDDD
We saved you! The owner is a good dude, he will gladly cancel for you.
If your set on that one try asking the customer support when they restock
how can I cancel the order ?
I did that for the PBTFANS crosshair and they actually restocked right away (99% chance that was a coincidence tho)
found it thanks !
the keycaps i ordered from them over 2 weeks ago still haven't shipped
Id email them. Thats unusual
nicee
should i try alu tee hee now or wait for pp next week 
Do it
its gonna take a while, just broke the connectors, gonna do spring swap *w*
FR4 nice
PP just bends so easily anytime you open up your keyboard it feels like itll snap
the one thing i like about steel is its hard to break
Cracked my pc plate trying to pull it out of my tofu
Dann friction mount đ
bent the ever loving fuck out of my PC plate just from pulling switches
I'm back on steel plate now
Mostly because it's white
And looks better w my xray caps
the sound of PC is just too good to pass up imo so im still using it
i managed to flatten it back out
White plate behind xray caps just looks too good
- my build still sounds good w steel so it's not a huge downside
Its a little louder, but it's not overly pingy at all
i got a black build so i didnt like seeing white under the keycaps so I had to get a black PC
Wait wait wait. We are back to people liking steel plates now? Haha I love you guys.
Perhaps....
the sound is still pretty bad IMO i just like not worrying about snapping it
Did it at first for looks, but after a day or two realized it sounded quite nice w steel
Pc still better tho
Just don't wanna spend money to order white pc plate rn
steel made my spacebar sound horrible thoughđ€Ł
Mine still sounds good
Its pretty deep
But I also did medical tape dampening on pcb for stabs
Next thing you know it'll be copper plates again
Concrete plate incoming
Or brass
yeah mine had unlubed stabs an OEM keycap lekkers a plastic case and no insulation so that all kinda contributed to my crappy spacebar
fixed all of it tho
Brass was huge before COVID
I gotta say I loved the gold accent
I'm still on my ws dashes, stock stabs but modded and tuned
would look great on some builds
Owlab ti he soon(tm)
I'm using screw ins and it may be placebo but they do feel more stable
I'll wait until they do 60he refresh to get new pcb
I'd just get a venom 60 atp I doubt a refresh is coming till like late 2026
Yeah that's fine with me
Let's me get my 300$ worth out of the pcb
lol you have no idea when refresh happens
Wrong
fr we getting it earlier?
Random guess started as fact common L
mostly estimation đ€Ł
drop a few features camđ€Ł
Mag lev mounting 
NDA never snitching
Cam knows when the knob is coming
you got a future as a politican 
Cam already has 50 of them
Just hides them in all photos/vids
Probably has an 80he hidden away filled with only knobs
honestly the 60HE is already so perfect all i can see them doing for a refresh is a PC plate different keycaps and screw in stabs maybe better mounting
basically everything 80he has
60HE+ already has screw in stabs
i mean by default
Bro is full of cold takes
By default
I'm just gonna wait until a refresh happens because I don't wanna spend 250 cad just for it to happen a few months/a year later
That way I can placebo max with 8k 60he
Yeah I dunno 60 is solid
am I missing something here đ€Ł
oh 8K polling the biggest gimmick in tech
Solidly obsolete
Yeah screw in stabs is only reason I want new pcb, but I just can't justify spending 250 cad for screw in stab support....
gotta get that 0.1ms less latency
Says every 144 hz gamer
on 320 rn way better than 144
Module only :(
actually idk what its on lemme check
Prebuilt supports them at least tho
@fluid ravine check your DM important question
Bros getting leaks đ
Shhhh it's a front
Its literally a question lol
its 360 actually
We need wooting numpad
my laptop is 144 tho
Fr
The people have been waiting
actually
Is an 80hes worth of fluxes actually 180$???
Aren't they like 2$ per switch
Yes
Yes
What the fuck are they smoking
And what are you smoking for spending thatđ đ
Money
Give me a wallet that deep what the hell
Stuff from down the street
nah I got em free
Damn
perks of green name
An 80hes worth of fluxes could get me my new beastx đ
With some change
For plastic and magnets that's wild
could get me like 2 viper v3 pros (i think theyre on sale)
actually no like 1.5
donât forget the spring!
180 usd for magnets in plastic đȘ đȘ đȘ
Oh right the 24k gold plated springs
Right...
when we getting switches made out of metal
for that much i expect the whole thing to be plated
cnc switch
3d printed titanium switches
Imagine the price đ
so LTT can remake the full metal keeb video but legit this time
The machine time alone for 3d printed titanium switches would cost you 2 80hesđ
gonna be worth it
ltt spent like 10k on keycaps nothing new
Didn't he buy a bunch of solid gold artisans
i think so yeah
Thock maxxing
Wouldnât you need some super beefy springs just to hold them up? đ
25g spring. Blow on them to actuate
Thatâs actually the secret to the best gaming performance
Lowest latency because of input effort
You haven't seen our finger muscles
flux eh, new thing?
If you wanna pay for overpriced switches
i dont really, but im interested enough to look em up, whats the full name đ
thanks đ
I'd rather just have overpriced switches sent to me for free đ
I suppose it's nice to want things.
Sorry I haven't followed the discussions for a long time, are they good?
compared to KOM poms
Yeah basically as good as TTC for twice the price with better lube
That's the switches I use in the pic above
My lubing isn't worth 70$ soo ...
I'll stick with ttc
Yeah I don't recommend WS Flux simply cause of their price
Ttc is my go to now, best sound for a half decent price is what I wanted
WS Flux basically made TTC look like budget switches even tho I consider TTC overpriced too
Yeah they're pricey asf
at least they are good
||cough jades max cough||
Switches should be around $40 for a set of 70-90 anything above that is overpriced to me
better be doing something real special for that price
and so far, I'm not impressed by these overpriced switches
Pom magnetos on the wooting is all I wanted lol stop @ing me lol
TTC nor WS Flux sound that great imo (subjective ofc), and TTC barely has any lube
Yeah I had to lube the myself
Nice
so plasticky lol
Lol nah you're good , only thing these overpriced switches offer is stem stability, which some people may not even care about
I genuinely think they're the best sounding switches on the market, that's why I bought them over jades, pros, maxes and really anything else
since it's a fairly new technology, people are more inclined to spend money to test things out
companies are probably looking to capitalize on this craze
They sound like cocaine
these are POMs in gasket mounted LX60
Oh
couldn't make the gummy mount work
well Flux and POM sound similar so not surprised lol
Ohh, are they hand lubed?
but im glad to finally use venom on LX60, setting up daughterboard was messy
yes
Okay, maybe there's just too much of a difference between gasket and PCB mount that makes mine and yours sound different
I'll send a sound test rq gimme a bit
Yeah I saw your jerry rigged daughtboard setup
that sounds very nice
$2 per switch nice?
this is plasticky, but clean
I compared it to plastic water bottle
better than what I have rn, I just kinda put it together lol
damn leggera just better
built different
alr I gotta figure out a way to fixate the MX plate to my venom lol, I want to try gummy mount in here
should be way better
That gray set is Dualshot, right?
Rawhuks on POM
Yeah
This is the sound test for this board, my wooting, PC plate, poron foam, 3 layers of tape, hand lubed ttc poms, cpc 464 kcs, and the (brass weighted) tofu60 redux
It's so nice lookin
Danx âșïž
still rlly happy with my rawhuks tbh
Same
minus sticking issue from Raws but otherwise I like em
still kinda curious about those hmx switches (even tho material looks boring) cause i havent seen anyone here try them yet
yeah that is kind of annoying but i kinda got over it
It's not mechanical .... but magnetic switches sound test!
Experience the thock and make your HE keyboards sound better.
Akko Global. All Rights Reserved.
They don't seem too special tbh
i really felt it less on the duhuks, idk if hejin got better at not overlubing the top or if its the stem design
Just your typical PC top, POM stem, Nylon bottom
Likely with similar tolerances to the Owlabs Ti HE
Really hoping HMX comes out with something of their own
yeah maybe i'll wait for some newer switches with different/interesting materials
instead of this weak collab
lol I can almost hear a ton of compression added to this sound
kinda sus
Yeah lots of background noise to they probably adjusted it
I have one issue if i get new switches
Iâll have to get more switch containers to put them in
That factors into the price as well
Sounds thin in a way 
This is noice
The flux?
Yeah I can imagine that
They sound like a plastic water bottle
Lmao
lol im spamming my poms rn and have the same thought
I don't hate it but thats what they sound like to me
Like it sounds clean
but like a clean plastic water bottle
