Learn about economics and you’ll learn more about tariffs there, but you’ll learn very quickly that politics has about the same toxicity online as any degen FPS game

Everyone’s got a stinky opinion on the matter, don’t go spreading it on the walls is a good policy smile

What’s 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
It’s made in China.

It has a shiny aluminum case.

The whole keyboard costs $200 (that’s what it’s worth when it’s ready to ship).

It’s 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. Let’s say it’s 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. It’s 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), that’s 25% of the keyboard.

If it’s from China, it’s all “Chinese,” and you pay the full $20 tariff.

If it’s from a deal country, you might get a discount, but since the keyboard is made in China, it’s usually taxed as Chinese anyway.

What Happens?
The keyboard arrives in the U.S. on a ship.

The store says, “Here’s a $200 keyboard from China.”

The U.S. says, “Cool, pay us $20 (10%) to bring it in.”

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 it’s from outside. They don’t care about the aluminum case—they just look at the total price ($200). If you want a discount, you’d need to prove some parts are from a special friend country, but since it’s made in China, you usually just pay the $20.

Yeah but the thing is if you buy a keyboard from the clubhouse you don’t have to pay the tariff

Like I said, those GMK keycaps going to be looking really good with only a 10% tariff vs clones with a 145% tariff

Clones $40 and 145% tariff is $58 = $98

GMK $100 and 10% tariff is $10 = $110

Shrouded with mystery like redacted government documents; the subtle gray-white base color mimics the color of copy-paper, the charcoal legends are like the faded toner ink, and the black UV-printed redactions look like a thick permanent marker. GMK RedactedŸ is one of the most unique and versatile sets you will find,

I bought the GMK redacted

I really like the style !

the shipping is more expensive than the keycaps 😄

“Pretty quickly” is relative

should be okay then, I dont sweat a lot

polar girder
#

That’s just novelties

stray tiger
#

I didnt look at the stock, but that $19.99 is for the novelties

blazing spade
#

what is this

marsh saffron
#

Gmk set for 20$ would be highway robbery

We saved you! The owner is a good dude, he will gladly cancel for you.

cedar gate
#

If your set on that one try asking the customer support when they restock

blazing spade
#

how can I cancel the order ?

cedar gate
#

I did that for the PBTFANS crosshair and they actually restocked right away (99% chance that was a coincidence tho)

blazing spade
#

thanks !

#

I still can't find the channel to ask for a cancel

stray tiger
blazing spade

the one thing i like about steel is its hard to break

marsh saffron

Dann friction mount 😭

cedar gate

#

I'm back on steel plate now

#

Mostly because it's white

#

And looks better w my xray caps

cedar gate
#

i managed to flatten it back out

marsh saffron
#
  • 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

cedar gate
stray tiger
#

Wait wait wait. We are back to people liking steel plates now? Haha I love you guys.

marsh saffron
cedar gate
marsh saffron
#

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

cedar gate
#

steel made my spacebar sound horrible thoughđŸ€Ł

marsh saffron
#

Mine still sounds good

#

Its pretty deep

#

But I also did medical tape dampening on pcb for stabs

stray tiger
#

Next thing you know it'll be copper plates again

marsh saffron
stray tiger
#

Or brass

cedar gate
#

fixed all of it tho

stray tiger
#

Brass was huge before COVID

cedar gate
marsh saffron
#

I'm still on my ws dashes, stock stabs but modded and tuned

cedar gate
#

would look great on some builds

marsh saffron
#

Owlab ti he soon(tm)

cedar gate
marsh saffron
#

I can't use screw ins

#

Non + moment

cedar gate
#

and 80he

marsh saffron
#

I'll wait until they do 60he refresh to get new pcb

cedar gate
marsh saffron
#

Let's me get my 300$ worth out of the pcb

polar girder
#

lol you have no idea when refresh happens

cedar gate
polar girder
#

Random guess started as fact common L

harsh dove
#

Not saying anything

#

but you're wrong

#

lol

cyan lark

tropic urchin

#

Just hides them in all photos/vids

marsh saffron
cedar gate
#

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

cyan lark
#

60HE+ already has screw in stabs

cedar gate
polar girder
#

Bro is full of cold takes

cyan lark
#

By default

marsh saffron
#

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 60hedogekek

cyan lark
#

Yeah I dunno 60 is solid

cedar gate
#

oh 8K polling the biggest gimmick in tech

polar girder
marsh saffron
#

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....

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 80hes😭

harsh dove

#

I'll stick with ttc

harsh dove
#

Yeah I don't recommend WS Flux simply cause of their price

ruby elk
#

Ttc is my go to now, best sound for a half decent price is what I wanted

harsh dove
#

WS Flux basically made TTC look like budget switches even tho I consider TTC overpriced too

ruby elk
#

Yeah they're pricey asf

safe stag
harsh dove
#

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

ruby elk
harsh dove
#

TTC nor WS Flux sound that great imo (subjective ofc), and TTC barely has any lube

ruby elk
#

Yeah I had to lube the myself

calm pulsar

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

sound like flux

Oh

ruby elk

but im glad to finally use venom on LX60, setting up daughterboard was messy

calm pulsar
harsh dove
#

This my Flux test

ruby elk
#

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

harsh dove
gusty patio
#

that sounds very nice

harsh dove
#

$2 per switch nice?

calm pulsar

#

I compared it to plastic water bottle

harsh dove

compared to my Leggera build

little glen
harsh dove
#

minus sticking issue from Raws but otherwise I like em

little glen
#

still kinda curious about those hmx switches (even tho material looks boring) cause i havent seen anyone here try them yet

little glen
harsh dove
#

They don't seem too special tbh

little glen
#

i really felt it less on the duhuks, idk if hejin got better at not overlubing the top or if its the stem design

harsh dove
#

Just your typical PC top, POM stem, Nylon bottom

calm pulsar
#

ahhh all HE is so similar to each other

#

after being on MX for a while

harsh dove
#

Likely with similar tolerances to the Owlabs Ti HE

#

Really hoping HMX comes out with something of their own

little glen
#

yeah maybe i'll wait for some newer switches with different/interesting materials

harsh dove
#

instead of this weak collab

calm pulsar
#

kinda sus

harsh dove
#

Yeah lots of background noise to they probably adjusted it

little glen
#

I have one issue if i get new switches

#

I‘ll have to get more switch containers to put them in

#

That factors into the price as well

harsh dove
#

Yeah I need some more switch containers too

#

All mine are full now

fluid ravine
fluid ravine

The switches in general sound thin

Hence my Plastic Water bottle sound comparison lol

#

Yeah

Yeah I can imagine that

harsh dove
#

They sound like a plastic water bottle

fluid ravine
#

Lmao

calm pulsar
#

lol im spamming my poms rn and have the same thought

harsh dove
#

I don't hate it but thats what they sound like to me

#

Like it sounds clean
