# lone tide yeah i dont know almost anything about keyboards

If you want deeper switches, then you will probably want the Deep Clack Flux, raptor v2 or the new tikkens (Sno has a sound test between DC Flux and tikkens), and if you want brighter clack then owlabs are a decent option, but you'll get better stem stability from DC Flux and Raptor v2 (has some spring issues depending on your batch)

Official pricing is trash

reef oar
#

the problem with switches is you have the choice paradox where there's like a billion options so you're never fully satisfied with what you get

#

you just need someone to tell you what to get and agree

#

otherwise it's gg

tropic urchin
#

it just requires you to try a few to understand what you want ideally

reef oar
#

not necessarily of course

tropic urchin
#

if you 1 and done it then you probably wont know what you truly like

#

you need a frame of reference which is the important part

robust siren
#

me when i cant return raws cause i had them since last year: dead

tropic urchin
#

if you dont have a frame of reference then anything is good

reef oar
#

i just think people need to be flow charted into decisions

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

otherwise you fall into the hobby and spend 10 mil

tropic urchin
#

switches arent the killer for the build, its really keycaps if you want a colorful and non ass design/quality

#

that and artisans is where you get really crunched

reef oar
#

it's also 50% subjective too so i guess it doesn't really matter

#

my brother uses a razer blackwidow with razer greens

tropic urchin
#

PBTFans has some good in between prices but even that to most ppl are going to be "why the fuck am i going to for plastic"

robust siren
reef oar
#

keycaps are the only thing i will cheap out on from time to time

tropic urchin
#

which is fair, but then you lose out on most cool things that give your build life and personality

robust siren
#

but its $300

#

for 2 items

tropic urchin
#

it was $500 for my opal key cap and GMK Lazurite if it makes you feel better

reef oar
#

i was looking for genuine olivias for a while but i literally couldn't find a listing below £200 PLUS it's ABS which i lowkey hated anyway

#

i'll never go back to abs

tropic urchin
#

they have alot of PBT to choose from and nice designs

robust siren
#

i still like my pbtfan crosshairs

#

maybe i'll look when i feel like changing

#

i just need to not join the group buys and wait 50 years and spend £500

#

shit gets crazy

just lock your credit card kek

tropic urchin

#

and then it's like a surprise gift? that's so smart holy shit

#

let's do it

tropic urchin
#

or get 3% cash back on online purchases and then buy your essentials online and then get free $ to buy stupid shit with

#

that is a real life hack

reef oar
#

credit cards are barely a thing here idk

#

99% of shit is on debit

tropic urchin
#

💀

reef oar
#

lowkey need one because they're op

tropic urchin
#

I hope you dont get swiped

#

that sounds like a bad time waiting to happen

reef oar
#

that apple pay theft method?

#

oh you mean yeah

tropic urchin
#

not apple pay, but just using your debit card as a credit card

#

all it takes is 1 bad time and you could lose all the $ in your bank account, it only needs to happen once where you swipe your card and what you're interacting with isnt what you think it is

#

vs with a credit card you can just cancel it and get the charges cancelled as fraud

reef oar
#

i think my bank is pretty good at handling fraud like that but idk

#

don't wanna find out

tropic urchin
#

usually they should be, but if you go out into a big city and all I had was a debit card, id be so paranoid

reef oar
#

maybe it's more of a thing there since it's credit so it's harder to deal with or sum

tropic urchin
#

its called "debit card skimming"

#

if you wanna look into it

reef oar
#

like the skimmers they attatch to card readers

#

so you're like

#

lemme pay this

#

and it reads and steals your shit

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

yeah i've heard of that

tropic urchin
#

you have 0 recourse to stop it unless you're somehow faster than they are

reef oar
#

i only ever pay contactless

tropic urchin
#

vs with a credit card sure they can buy shit in your name, but you can get that cancelled easily

tulip rapids

#

unless your bank is shit and hates you

reef oar
#

makes sense

tropic urchin
#

i cant remember the last time i used apple pay, but hopefully thats safer for you guys over the pond

reef oar
#

i'll just put it all into wall street and then they'll be stealing nothing

#

though i don't have a good time with stocks, i remember putting like 250 into crowdstrike when it blew up, but then it KEPT going down

#

and then it kept going down

#

i am less foolish now and i will not chase instant wins

tropic urchin
#

granted i dont really invest into personal stocks since i dont feel like being an active trader, shit is its own full time job

#

but I learned early on in Seinfeld once you lose and sell at a loss you do more damage than if you stayed the course and didnt panic

reef oar
#

i insta invested when it died bc i was like oh shit, they'll insta fix it and it'll go straight back up

#

it never went back up.

#

i want to get into it at some point but i'm too lazy

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

or just use s&p 500 and treat it like a savings account with a lil interest

I am on record for being a Marbly Clack enthusiast since the day I got my board

#

I always wanted Jade pros with the stability of TTC POM

reef oar
#

i'll make a burial garden for the jade pros

#

they deserve a tranquil rest

tropic urchin
#

the stability of the jades was always their weak point which is unfortunate given they sounded quite nice

reef oar
#

tbh they didn't feel that wobbly

tropic urchin
#

But the Deep Clack Flux is the final boss of that sound profile I think

reef oar
#

top wobble was noticable but i mean

#

i wasn't mad

#

ig you only notice when you try something stable

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

then it's obvious

tropic urchin
#

I wanted something more stable and then tried POM and it was not even remotely close

reef oar
#

yeah but the purple + red combo is ugly so it's an instant B tier

tropic urchin

thats partily what got me to move off it

i was so sick of looking at those red feet under my switches

cool ill consdier swapping later to those, but for an immediate choice if i had to pick between the kom poms or the raws which would be best

ive tried most of them and found Flux had better top stem wobble due to having smaller walled stem. POM is still good, but if you can get them for similar price id get deep clack flux, but I like the sound profile better and overall feel since it reminds me of jade pros, but with significantly better stem stability

ignore the mess on my desk, this space is a constant work in progress qwq

when I modify switches I am more looking to modify based on what I want them to feel like rather than preference for sound, though I will say that these came out sounding quite lovely

bold oar
#

Nah I appreciate the video that sounds clean, what was it like before?

analog reef
#

there's your before vid

#

the reason I decided to lubricate them is because they felt very slightly rough and off to me, and I was willing to take the time to make them better since I otherwise really loved the switches -- every other aspect of them was perfect imo

#

it's definitely a very subjective pick tho, I know plenty of people who would hate these haha

the spacebar definitely sounds worse in person, I gotta get in there next 😔

should be easier than doing 90 individual switches though

the alu sounds very pingy

POM prob FR4

#

Alu and CF on it I remember sounded like wet socks

tropic urchin

That’s why I’ve never used it for most switches unless it’s deeper like raptors and DC flux since it ends up sounding decent but it’s also Toronto keyboard man Alu so it prob sucks

reef oar
#

makes sense

#

i wonder what materials would be cool that haven't been used yet

#

glass

#

wood

polar girder
#

Cork

#

Yeah I kind of want to try cf or fr4 since I haven’t tried them yet

tawdry tree
#

surely these won’t have issues right? surelyyyyyyyyy

HMX slop 😭

#

I realized recently that the “hole” in the bottom of HMX’s magnetic switches isn’t a hole at all

#

it’s just a dent

#

they’re dented switches

tropic urchin
tawdry tree
#

it’s annoying that they don’t make improvements, they could be actually pretty good

#

but gotta make 17 fucking recolors first ofc

polar girder
#

Need these for HE

#

And lighter options tho

#

35g 22mm triple stage HE Spring when???

tawdry tree
#

they actually feel different or just placebo maxing?

tropic urchin
polar girder
#

You know me blobaww

tropic urchin
#

If those are 35g bottom out that shit is wild

#

42.5g was borderline too light on Geon’s 17mm springs 💀

tawdry tree
#

u just got heavy fingers bro

polar girder
#

57.5G is their lightest lol

tropic urchin
#

Holy ass

#

55g bottom out is like chewing well done steak until the end of time

polar girder
#

Yo wtf is difference

tawdry tree
#

the latter is like gummy

#

the first rests on the bottom of the case and the latter rests on the post

#

makes sense?

polar girder
#

Ah I see the cutout now

tawdry tree
#

yeah

polar girder
#

Seems like they both would function the same in frog mini?

#

Might put them too low tho

#

The real frog mini^

tawdry tree

it doesn’t have posts?

polar girder
#

Don’t think so

tawdry tree
#

ah, then yeah

#

tbh, I don’t really get why keysnap exists

cause you can use pcbsnap as keysnap but not vise versa

calm pulsar

yeah I get why they exist, just not keysnap

maybe i'll relube later down the line, but rn it's perfect

polar girder
#

Dang unfortunately I waited and the keysnaps sold out lol

#

I might buy new switches if I buy new plate just avoid pulling out POM’s

#

Which actually POM’s are hella easy to remove

calm pulsar
reef oar
#

my fluxes were super easy to snap in

#

i remember the jades almost killed my fingers

#

they were sore for like 2 days

calm pulsar
#

you could easily remove the pcb from the plate with switches installed with poms lol

polar girder
#

Yeah ez with venom for sure

#

Want to try keysnaps and fr4

tropic urchin
reef oar
#

maybe i just lube the springs rn

#

but i really don't feel like doing allat

#

they're fine for now

#

lubing switches fucks my eyes focus

#

it becomes like impossible to focus my eyes after a while

#

it's weird

tropic urchin
#

I know it’s boring but 💀💀

reef oar
#

nah LEGIT

#

like idk what it is

#

staring at switches like 20cm from my face for 8h straight

tropic urchin
#

So then is short range blurry/out of focus

reef oar
#

yes

tropic urchin
#

So lubing switches made you far sighted

reef oar
#

yes

#

well

#

my vision is usually normal

#

but if i'm staring at shit infront of me for like 8h

#

my eyes will be like nah i'm done i wanna look at far shit

calm pulsar
#

8h☠️

tropic urchin
#

Too early for me

#

I can’t read

#

What else is new

calm pulsar
#

if you look at anything for 8h ofc your eyes will be tired

reef oar
#

we all need glasses

tropic urchin
#

Surely….

reef oar
#

am i tripping or no

#

i legit couldn't focus on my switches near the end

A good justification to get the $700 meta glasses

#

it's a camera

reef oar
#

my vision is good

#

idk

#

it's like if you wanted to zoom out your phone camera

#

and after 8h it's like nah

polar girder
#

Yeah I have to squint to see 20/20

#

Which pisses me off

#

I think I want to get a new vision test where I don’t squint and try hard it to get a more accurate prescription

#

I don’t wear glasses but I might start

#

Staring at an iPhone for 6-8 hours a day probably doesn’t help

#

🥴

reef oar
#

my left eye is like 20/20 but my right eye feels like it has something in the center that stops me from perfectly reading text

#

it's not blurry but it's like something just deletes whatever i'm looking at

#

i think if i used an eye patch it'd balance out because i think my left eye is super dominant because of that

#

but i'm not an eye doctor

calm pulsar
#

I think it's fine to have a dominant eye, my right eye is also not the best at focusing and stuff

polar girder
#

Yeah I have astigmatism in one eye I think

#

Not ideal

#

Especially when staring at phone for hours on end

tropic urchin

@analog reef they’re not quite raptor V2s, but if raptors are 4 for loudness, DC flux are like a 7 and OG flux is an 11

They’re similar but turbocharged for sound

They’re Jade pros if they had any semblance of good stem stability

I care significantly more about feel than sound
