nice n bright

[dapper sorrel]

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT laptop and I accidently dropped my phone on the keys. I'm trying to find a site to get replacements and the only places i've been getting are shady ass websites and Aliexpress.
Can anybody give me a verified place to buy replacement keys or at the very least tell me a quick fix?

[dapper sorrel]

nvm i gutted a different laptop to get the keys

[wide dirge]

guys I found a deal for a Keychron K2v2 on ebay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284937955580

[swift forge]

you know your tech terms?

hotswap, blue switches etc

Its a good board

[wide dirge]

yeah it's non hotswap with blue switches

[swift forge]

if you have the budget best to get a hotswap, as it'll have a longer lifespan and potentially last you a decade

[wide dirge]

ahhh ok

[swift forge]

longer lifespan as in succeeding non-hotswap with the ability to freely pop in a new switch when one fails

[wide dirge]

ah true

[swift forge]

What blues are on that keyboard though

MX Blues? I think thats the only blue stem switch aside from Outemu ones

[wide dirge]

yeah mx blues

[swift forge]

I've used those, they aren't that loud given the right space

[wide dirge]

yeah

[swift forge]

are you looking to buy it?

[wide dirge]

not really

I was just browsing through ebay

[swift forge]

oh lmao

[wide dirge]

yeah

[swift forge]

@past vortex Opinion on BTL mouse grip tape? planning on modding my Logitech G Pro Hero

went with Tiger ICE PTFE skates, custom paracord cable from ausmodshop

[onyx summit]

when ever i look in here i cry in broke

[latent blaze]

gateron gpro blues i believe

[latent blaze]

heads up for next time, ali express is probably the beat place to get the keys

[past vortex]

I haven't used BTL. I ushally don't have trouble gripping mice. But i've used tape to alerter the shape of mouse. If your mouse doesn't have rubber grips, or you wear through them, tape probale worth trying. Some people also just like wraps in general for decoration.
I hope you post pictures when your done.

[past vortex]

I haven’t had any problems with tiger sleds. New sleds can make a mouse feel new again. Razer and logitech offer new sleds, so I don't think they'll void a waranty over them ether. But i'm surprised they're ushally just black and white. Like where the hot LTT orange sleds.

[craggy jacinth]

I don't know what I did exactly but I think one of my switches/stem is a bit busted (it is the page down key, one I never use)

hoping someone can maybe help find a solution as the are soldered and not hotswap

[unkempt dome]

if the stem is busted there's not much to do about it except change the switch

[craggy jacinth]

Things as unstable as a heavily used game boy D-pad

[unkempt dome]

Or the keycap is broken ...

Remove the keycap

[craggy jacinth]

I did
Key cap is fine

[unkempt dome]

Then change the switch

[craggy jacinth]

Don’t exactly have the tools to do so
Soldered pcb

Next keyboard is gonna be hotswap for sure

[unkempt dome]

Then you live with it or get the tools to change the switch or just replace the keyboard

[past vortex]

50 dollars more ESL . 🙄

[craggy jacinth]

Good recommendations for a hot swap prebuilt board? Wanna give reds a go

[past vortex]

some times maker spaces have soddering equipment. But they'll ushally charge you.

[unkempt dome]

Royal kludge are probably the best cheap

Keychron or akko are better ones

[craggy jacinth]

Forgot to mention on a pretty tight budget

[unkempt dome]

Royal kludge then

Or redragon k552 but it's hotswap only with outemu, akko and boba switches

[craggy jacinth]

Was gonna go cherry

[unkempt dome]

eww

Why you like to suffer like that

😂

[craggy jacinth]

better than an apple butterfly switch

[unkempt dome]

That's about the only think it's better when compared to

[craggy jacinth]

CQ84 any good?

[unkempt dome]

Doesn't look impressive much ...

And I don't see where it says hotswap

[swift forge]

Thanks

The feet are what I need to change the most, coming from a now broken Superlight black PTFE ain’t my style no more

Extremely draggy on the cheap cloth pad I have

my aim went from being in the 98th percentile to 91st 😭

[swift forge]

uses fingertip grip on a 87g mouse

[past vortex]

I use to use 100g 😂

[swift forge]

Logitech G403?

[past vortex]

older, old mice were heavy, and some of them gave you weight to add

[swift forge]

Tbh if I were still an amateur at aiming I’d be fine with my mouse at current, problems start when you’re used to a certain distance for a given flick because you’re good at it for example

then I’ve got this simulated feel that I’ve moved a mouse X distance but my onscreen cursor does X - 3

Because of control feet on control pad ._.

[swift forge]

My aim with the Logitech Pro X Superlight

My aim with the Logitech G Pro Hero

big difference

[honest pawn]

Does anyone know if there's any way to customize the RGB on the Keychron C1?

[swift forge]

VIA software?

[fresh crown]

hey i am looking for a new deskmat with some black and whit print on it (hystar doesnt ship to my country slovenia and sites like key company charge duble for shipping ) any suggestions

[spark hatch]

other than the presets from keychron no. only the Q series has custom rgb

[gilded topaz]

The only thing I don’t like about these reds is they aren’t heavy enough. I get some false entries. But I’m sure I’ll adjust

[unkempt dome]

well that's red for you ... imagine how bad it would be with speed silver ...

[undone raptor]

Might not be the place to put this but am curious. Anyone use their keyboard from the couch or bed? Trying to find a decent lap desk thing

[unkempt dome]

We have a wireless logitech with trackpad for the couch

[pulsar folio]

I have a couchmaster or whatever it was named, and I have a lapdog or whatever from Corsair that fits their K63 wireless - I use neither solution

[neon nexus]

https://www.ebay.pl/itm/385074807412?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=4908-175131-2357-0&ssspo=dqblifejrc2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=dqblifejrc2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[undone raptor]

So what do you use when couch\bed computer use?

[pulsar folio]

I don't, well in bed I just use my laptop 😛

otherwise I would use the solutions I just listed

there are also "devices" for having your laptop over your blanket etc, can't remember what they're called

[gilded topaz]

having these linear switches has definitely convinced me its time for a new full size for my desktop.

I've been using the original clicky razer greens since like 2011 lmao

unlimited budget, what full size chassis is no compromises?

I'd like to have a backlight but I don't need or care about RGB.

I can take or leave the backlight too its not 100% needed.

I'm thinking Gateron blacks.

[honest pawn]

Does the C1 support via? I thought you need QMK and that's only on their $200+ boards.

[swift forge]

Oh 💀

You’re dead

[onyx summit]

Should I get a gmmk barebones and get pbt keycaps and jwick t1s

Or a keychron c2 and hotswap the switches for jwicks

[swift forge]

for software support buy the GMMK

[manic dragon]

Q6 for a QMK fullsize.

[brave hazel]

should i get the g pro or g pro super light is the £30 extra worht it?

[sweet thunder]

I mean depends if you’ll notice the difference

[brave hazel]

like is the cps any different or?

[sweet thunder]

Cps?

[meager pollen]

Clicks per second

[meager pollen]

20s of googling would give you an answer yk

[sweet thunder]

Do you mean cpi?

Clicks would be user dependent

I don’t see how either would be better at giving you RSI

[brave hazel]

oh ok thamks just wanted to know if it was majorly better

[urban glade]

Carolina mech are going to be coming out with one

[merry wyvern]

Nope. Some mice don’t register all the clicks if you, for example, butterfly click, or jitter click. The g pro super light doesn’t register cps very much. But a mouse like the glorious model O or model D. Or all the bloody mice. They all register faster cps. So no it’s not user dependent.

some mice have a cps cap or 20

Some mice like all the bloody mice can regularly cps up to like 300

[merry wyvern]

If you are gonna pick one of those mice. Pick the g pro super light for regular gaming. But if you need cps (for mc pvp I’m assuming) then do NOT go with the super light because it doesn’t register past like 15 cps

If you dragclicking for god bridging do NOT go for the super like because if you drag click on that mouse it will only register up to 7-9 cps while dragging

Get the Roccat Kone pro because it registers cps very well and drag click like 50-60 fps

And if you really want a cheap option go for the model O or D

or if your super desperate that some redragon mice register cps very well lol

But definitely go with the kone pro

@brave hazel

[brave hazel]

ok tysm for the detailed answer

[merry wyvern]

No problamo

[pulsar folio]

I'm tempted to request a Logitech MX Mechanical with brown switches for work, but unsure how happy I will be with it

[merry wyvern]

Hell no

No browns

It’s literally the middle of blues and reds

Either get reds or blues

I would get reds

[pulsar folio]

I’m aware, all my keyboards are brown

[merry wyvern]

Don’t get it!!!!!

[pulsar folio]

I hate the click sound, drives me nuts

[merry wyvern]

Oh yes

Then get reds

Or some other switch

[pulsar folio]

I usually felt like reds are too light

[merry wyvern]

I built a keyboard with Akko jellly pinks

[pulsar folio]

They don’t have other alternatives

[merry wyvern]

There is other linears

[pulsar folio]

Yeah this is for work though, can’t really ask my employer to buy parts for me to build my own keyboard 😂

[merry wyvern]

Then pay for it yourself

[pulsar folio]

Can’t afford to right now, but will probably do that eventually anyway

[merry wyvern]

That was the wrong sound test lol

[merry wyvern]

oh alr

It’s worth it

Trust

[pulsar folio]

If I do that, I’ll want to do it right, so will easily set me back 400-500 dollars or more

[merry wyvern]

I built mine for under $200

LMAO

I hate I when people say that

[unkempt dome]

if it's for work and they pay for it then ask for a hotswap keyboard from keychron or akko and then get silent switches and put them in there

[pulsar folio]

I know you can build for significantly less 😛

[merry wyvern]

^

[pulsar folio]

Yeah been considering that too, but I was contemplating low profile and Logitechs looked pretty alright design wise and from reviews

[unkempt dome]

forget about logitech tho

also there's no low profile silent switches

[pulsar folio]

Don’t need silent, right now I’m lugging my One2 Mini with brown switches back and forth 😂

I was considering a One3 Mini because it’s hotswap

Or even a One3 TKL

[merry wyvern]

You can build a keyboard for the amount of money to buy a ducky keeb

@pulsar folio

[unkempt dome]

or a logitech for that matter

[pulsar folio]

I know, just hard to find parts in Norway, otherwise I might’ve asked my employer for parts to build one xD

[merry wyvern]

Lol yeah

[merry wyvern]

Not really

You can buy a keychron and mod it

[unkempt dome]

or akko acr or mod

[merry wyvern]

Still cheaper than a ducky or a Logitech

[merry wyvern]

Yeah

I mean keychron is probably cheaper

only by a little bit though

[unkempt dome]

even akko baseline comes with all the foam you can imagine

[merry wyvern]

yeah lol

My 3068b came with tons

[unkempt dome]

same

[merry wyvern]

Oh you got a 3068b?

They aren’t very common

I mean like not many people buy it

I’ve build 2 others but I decided to buy this one bc I liked it

[unkempt dome]

got it cause I'm too poor to get an ikki65 or something along those line

[merry wyvern]

I want to get a bakaneco65

Idk how you spell it

but you know what I mean

[unkempt dome]

yes I know

was considering it too

[merry wyvern]

Yeah it’s nice. It’s o-ring mounted so it’s kinda bouncy

My friend recently built one and it’s soooo smooth

[unkempt dome]

well that's the problem ... I don't want bouncy

[merry wyvern]

with holy pandas

[merry wyvern]

Oh it’s not super bouncy. You can’t really tell

It’s just less stiff than most boards

What’s your favourite switch? @unkempt dome

[unkempt dome]

knc redjacket for now

[merry wyvern]

Oh ok

Mine rn are Akko jelly pinks

[unkempt dome]

will probably have another favorite at some point

I don't like linear much ... but those redjacket are quite nice ... tecsee carrot too are nice

akko lavender purple are probably my favorite tactile so far

[merry wyvern]

Yeah they are nice

[unkempt dome]

never tried the jelly pink

[merry wyvern]

I’ll send a sound test

Oh wait I already did

[merry wyvern]

^ @unkempt dome

[unkempt dome]

yes i saw it ...

I don't care much about sound tho

[merry wyvern]

Well they feel pretty nice

[unkempt dome]

I won't mod a keyboard to get some kind of sound profile ... I'll mod to get rid of rattle or pings and that's it

[merry wyvern]

I can tell you all the mods I did for mine

[unkempt dome]

if you want to

[merry wyvern]

Alr

So

I added more foam on top on the foam they gave me

lubed the switches

Lubed stabs

Bandaid mod

Clipped the stabs

and I removed the screws

Bc it sounds better for some reason

Also makes it more bouncy

Although still pretty stiff

And that’s it

[unkempt dome]

that's quite a lot

[merry wyvern]

Yeah I spent a good few hours

I’m thinking of getting some durock plate mounts

Because every stabs key has one bad stab

[unkempt dome]

just be sure they fit tho

[merry wyvern]

Except for the backspace and spacebar

[merry wyvern]

Oh yeah they will

[unkempt dome]

well the screw in durock stabs don't fit akko boards

[merry wyvern]

Ik

That’s why I’m gonna get plate mounts

[unkempt dome]

and you're sure they also fit ?

[merry wyvern]

Mhm

Oh I forgot I did tape mod

Makes it more poppy

[unkempt dome]

ok

[merry wyvern]

yeah

[unkempt dome]

I don't intend to mod my 3068b ... the only thing that is a bit annoying is the spacebar and that's it

maybe I'll try the durock stabs i got a while back ...

[merry wyvern]

Yes totally do that

The stock stabs are good just not perfect

[pulsar folio]

I was talking about full custom though

[merry wyvern]

Oh well you can still build a full custom for like $300

Maybe $250

[pulsar folio]

yes, but I would want to do it all 100% instead of spending 300 then another 400 when I want to do the rest because the parts aren't compatible enough 😮 though tbf I haven't even began planning my own custom keyboard build

haven't really found a case and PCB I like

Keychron Q2 or Q1 looks kinda interesting, maybe Q3 as well I guess 😮

[merry wyvern]

Well you can’t go wrong with keychron I’ll tell you that

[pulsar folio]

I have a K6 iirc already 😮

with alu frame and brown switches

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMMR3LL/A/magic-keyboard-with-touch-id-and-numeric-keypad-for-mac-models-with-apple-silicon-us-english-black-keys there is also this one

was considering this one

[merry wyvern]

This isn’t even a mechanical keyboard

It’s like a laptop keyboard

[pulsar folio]

exactly, I like my MBP 14" keyboard

[merry wyvern]

Meh

Don’t get it

[pulsar folio]

I do like it ngl, but that magic kbd was mostly a troll 😛

[merry wyvern]

Hm

[pulsar folio]

but yeah, I realized I don't like the 65% format that Keychron K6 is, otherwise I'd probably just use that

gotten so used to my 60%, so it just goes wrong with my muscle memory with the arrow keys being there - TKL is even weird to use, but at least better

[merry wyvern]

there is some nice 60% that you can get

build also

[pulsar folio]

yeah, I'm not sure if I should do 60% or TKL first, will probably end up doing both eventually

[ornate siren]

Hmm why did I buy a logitech MX Mechanical keyboard... 😕 It's so clunky and noisy and slow to type compared to my super low profile membrane MX Keys.

I thought the key travel would be similar, but its like 6x ... oops.

I do like how they added the extra key at the top for volume down, so you dont have to press the Fn key to use the Vol Dn key when you have the Function keys swapped ... but it doesnt matter anyway because I use the horizontal scroller on my MX Master 3 mouse to control the PC volume

[unkempt dome]

My volume is always 100%, don't need anything to change it in windows, also don't want anything to change it in windows

[hardy grove]

does anyone here have akko switches

[unkempt dome]

I do

[merry wyvern]

Moi

I have experience with other Akko switches as well

[shy steeple]

Hey all. Any suggestions for a mid-tier wireless keyboard mouse setup. coming from a corsair strafe with cherry MX silent which i find a bit heavy. Back lighting option would be nice.

[merry wyvern]

Don’t get a wireless keyboard if your computer gaming

[spark hatch]

why not

they work just fine

[merry wyvern]

Because they are less responsive

[spark hatch]

2.4ghz works just as good as a cable if you have it set up right

[shy steeple]

I'm old, i doubt as a % of latency to me it won't make difference.

[merry wyvern]

Okay

Budget?

[shy steeple]

And mostly offline stuff, but it's fair warning so thanks.

[spark hatch]

I wouldnt worry about latency. aslong as its not bluetooth wireless you wont notice a defferance

[merry wyvern]

I noticed a difference but okay

it doesn’t matter

@shy steeple what’s your budget?

[spark hatch]

what board lmao. no way you can feel the difference from a good wireless board and a cable. but ok

[merry wyvern]

My current board is the Akko 3068b

[spark hatch]

gotcha

[merry wyvern]

Not so much latency but if you hit to many keys at once it doesn’t register

I looked it up as other people said it does it for them on other boards to so don’t even say it’s because of the board

[shy steeple]

Looking around $250-300 for mouse and keyboard.

[spark hatch]

I dont know about akkos wireless performance, maybe theres isnt as good?

ive only ever used logitches wireless shit and its been great

[spark hatch]

assuming you want full size id recommend keychron c2 (more budget friendly option) or q6 (higher tier option)

im not as skilled in the mouse region but id personally get logitech, could be better options tho

[merry wyvern]

Logitech is over priced that’s why I never want to buy anything from them

and there keebs are not good quality

[merry wyvern]

What size for keyboard?

[spark hatch]

very true, I only had one of there boards cause I didnt know better sadly at the time

[spark hatch]

they had corsair strafe so id assume full size since they didnt specify

[merry wyvern]

Well they could want a smaller size

@shy steeple what colours?

[shy steeple]

I like full size, i think they are pink, but that could jsut be my room lighting.. I want a lighter touch to them.

[merry wyvern]

Wait so full sized and pink?

[merry wyvern]

You want clicky or linear?

or in between (browns but I wouldn’t recommend)

[spark hatch]

I believe they're talking about there switches?

[merry wyvern]

Oh lmao

I was asking what colour caps you want?

Wtf kinda switches are pink

[spark hatch]

are you gonna recommend an akko board?

[merry wyvern]

Maybe. Idk if any Akko full sized are good

I’ll have to poke around the internet

[spark hatch]

all there boards are

[merry wyvern]

Idk again I only have one Akko board

I love Akko switches though

I’m in love

[spark hatch]

yea there switches are great, been using there jelly blacks in my daily for abit now

[merry wyvern]

I love jelly pinks and vintage whites

So far my favourites

[spark hatch]

only had one switch fail. but I think I might have over lubed that one

[spark hatch]

ah, never tried pinks and whites were too light for me

[merry wyvern]

I had 2 switches that had bent pins and they sent me new ones. There customer service is great!

[merry wyvern]

Oh they are so nice

[spark hatch]

whites sound really good tho. friend has an amazing build with them

[merry wyvern]

Yeah the vintage whites stock sound like lubed milky yellows

[spark hatch]

dang, I wouldnt have even bothered. usually you get quite afew switches with bent pins (not form akko, just switches in general). good to know, thanks for the info

[merry wyvern]

Yeah np

[unkempt dome]

Akko switches comes in a premium package ... not only a cheap plastic bag

[spark hatch]

oh thats right, forgot that they did that

[shy steeple]

Linear, i think i have gone off clicky.

[merry wyvern]

Ah yes ok

[merry wyvern]

So what colours do you want?

Not for switches

like caps and stuff

[shy steeple]

ohh haha. sorry, black is good.

[merry wyvern]

Alr I shall search

[spark hatch]

keychron c2 (more budget friendly option) or keychron q6 (high tier option)

[shy steeple]

Looking up.

[merry wyvern]

@shy steeple and get the roccat kone pro

it’s really nice

[spark hatch]

no

its not

[merry wyvern]

wdym

[spark hatch]

oh shit, thats there mouse

[merry wyvern]

yes

[spark hatch]

yes thats good mmbmb

[merry wyvern]

No I hate roccat keebs

their mice are good though

[spark hatch]

there kb its pretty meh, I do like there mice tho. using kain rn

[merry wyvern]

Nice

The rvu is nice

and the basilisk v3

Or any of the basilisk mice

[spark hatch]

ah

[merry wyvern]

Razer has nice mice in general

[spark hatch]

I dont have much knowledge about mice
I just use what ever can double click and double click well at that. which the kain was the perfect option

[spark hatch]

the vipers nice

softwres shit

[merry wyvern]

Ah hello fellow mc pvper

[spark hatch]

I hate there software

[merry wyvern]

Nah actually there software is pretty nice

[spark hatch]

lmao.

[spark hatch]

personally dont love it

I'd prefer downloading it to put in my settings. save it to the mouse, then uninstall the software

[merry wyvern]

Yeah I have to use it. I’m using a deathadder rn and I binded keyboard keys to my side buttons so if I save it and uninstall then it’s like that forever.

so I have to switch it back and forth

im thinking of getting a different mouse sooner or later

But for rn this one is fine

[spark hatch]

ah I see

[merry wyvern]

Yeah

[swift forge]

Kone Pro is one of the lighter ergo mice rn

The ASUS TUF M4 Air doesn’t seem too bad, same weight as a Finalmouse (49g) just annoying software

[merry wyvern]

Idk about Asus mice

[merry wyvern]

Yeah Ik I’ve been wanting it

[swift forge]

It’s been rated well on TechPowerUp

They’ve become very much better over the past year

ROG Keris and TUF M4 Air in particular

hotswap switches (for mice!) and a Finalmouse competitor

[merry wyvern]

what!

That’s crazy

[spark hatch]

oh yea, I saw that. near idea

[swift forge]

For the ROG Keris, not TUF

[spark hatch]

looks good

[crimson slate]

nice deskpad

[merry wyvern]

Ah ok

[civic iris]

is HP gaming K100 fine for the budget?

my mom wants rgb guhh

[merry wyvern]

What budget?

Because you should not get any periphs from HP gaming lol

[chrome raft]

Anyone have any keyboard recommendations for about 150

[dawn swan]

could anyone help with QMK compiling with default keymap

it seems like it is ignoring my rules and config files

i flashed durgod k310 to have it actually behave like 1000hz polling rate since some firmware 'update' with their own software made it have high input latency

zeus engine software no longer has an option for polling rate or something

compiling and then flashing with the toolbox works but i only have 6kro

and debounce is not behaving like what i set in the rules.mk

it looks like its just copying the bin file from somewhere else and not compiling with default keymap and the rules/config that i set in the directory

[dawn swan]

nvm issue was resolved after asking qmk server

it was a directory issue

wrong file path

[pulsar folio]

pieced together my Ducky One2 TKL again, the sounds profile is terrible, but these brown switches feel pretty nice

[hardy grove]

how do you feel about them, and which ones do you recommend considering i like blue switches?

[hardy grove]

reminds me of TVS Golds, clean

[unkempt dome]

Akko don't have clicky switches as far as I know ... try kailh box white, box jade or box navy

[merry wyvern]

Akko switches are my favourite switches I think. They sound sort of scratchy (only some of them) when un-lubed, but when lubed they sound SO SMOOTH.

[sweet thunder]

Wait in what game would you need to register 300 clicks in a second? Is this an osu thing or something?

[merry wyvern]

Well you don’t need 300 cps. But it’s nice to have lots of cps in Minecraft pvp.

[sweet thunder]

Oh to spam attack

[merry wyvern]

Basically

butterfly clicking. Jitter clicking and drag clicking are the most common

[sweet thunder]

Can people actually click that fast tho? I feel like you’d either have to tie your finger to a vibrator or get rsi

Oh is butterfly clicking when you use 2 fingers and alternate in rapid succession

Also could you just use a macro?

[merry wyvern]

Yes but it is bannable in most servers

[merry wyvern]

yes

Jitter clicking is when you tense up your arm and your fingers shake. Some people don’t like it because it causes pain in some people.

This is jitter

I was trying to send a video of butterfly clicking but it says it’s explicit

Lmao

I would send a drag click video but my mouse can’t do that

[sweet thunder]

Yep that’s RSI

Well if people are after clicking fast they should avoid mechanical switches and get optical ones instead since they don’t have to worry about debounce

Or do what osu people do and use a keyboard

Get a wooting keyboard with rapid trigger

[merry wyvern]

A lot of people lower the debounce all the way so that it double clicks to get more cps. Some bloody mice can quad click.

[sweet thunder]

Nice game code mjang

[merry wyvern]

Lmao

[open vector]

are there any lighter budget switches then gateron yellows (i have gateron yellows)
are akko jelly whites good?

[open vector]

do you have experience with jelly whites?

[merry wyvern]

I do not actually

[open vector]

i see you have vintage whites which are the same but without the stable stem, would you say they are much faster than gat yellows?

*lighter

i had halo tactile switches which felt to heavy so i got yellows and after a year i feel i want to go even lighter

[unkempt dome]

Your fingers get tired ?

[open vector]

not necesarilly i guess i just dont like resistant (heavy) switches

i guess for speed

[merry wyvern]

Yes they are much lighter than gat yellows

I like vintage whites way more

[open vector]

k im sold 🤣

[merry wyvern]

haha

also I just looked it up

Vintage whites have an actuation point of 35g and gat yellows are 50g

so they are much lighter

[open vector]

great

thank you

[merry wyvern]

Yeah np

Also vintage whites (stock) sound just as good as gat yellows when lubed.

@open vector

So if you lube them they sound SO SMOOTH

[open vector]

ngl i really like my friend's gat yellows over mine (his are unlubed) so i might just leave it to see how they feel

his are clackier and feel nicer even though there the same switch and similar keeb builds

[merry wyvern]

Bruh 💀

[opal knoll]

Are theses switches worth it/Good?!

Any Thoughts/ Changes ??

[dim wasp]

Anyone know what kind of switch this is? I'm looking to replace it with some low profile switches

[spark hatch]

its a blue switch of some kind and its a 3 pin switch

[dim wasp]

Can I replace it with gaterons?

[ionic briar]

Looks like outemu dust proof but this shape is now very generic among the super cheap mx style switches

[spark hatch]

if the boards hot swap or you know how to solder then yes

[ionic briar]

Not sure if the pin spacing are the same between mx height and low profile switches tho

[dim wasp]

I'm looking at these https://mkultra.click/gateron-ks-27-low-profile-switches/

[spark hatch]

I believe they're the same

[ionic briar]

From what I can find, the pin spacing is unfortunately not the same

Gateron low profile has a wider spacing between the 2 contact pins

[kind locust]

Dont know what the best keyboard to get for my first pc build for gaming

[sand scarab]

What's your budget and what type of keyboard size do you prefer

Full? 60%? Do you like rgb? Do like like a specific color? Do you like a clicky sounding keyboard?

[kind locust]

Any price

And average

Perfer wireless

Rgb

[sand scarab]

But what about the size? You want the keyboard to have the numpad on the the right side?

[kind locust]

My build is black and white

[kind locust]

Right side

Nice

[sand scarab]

It's a 60%

So no numpad and a few less keys compared to a full size keyboard

[kind locust]

Are they easy to clean

I am right handed

[sand scarab]

You can clean them with a slightly wet wipe and go for a deep clean when taking off the keycaps

So I would say yes they easy to clean

[kind locust]

So I could put it in the dishwasher

Lol

[sand scarab]

Technically you can wash a computer motherboard in a dishwasher so I supposed it would be possible to clean the pcb of a keyboard

[kind locust]

What

Motherboard in the dishwasher

Gotta see that

[sand scarab]

I'd avoid water tbh you should be fine with alcohol since it evaporates quickly

[kind locust]

Ok

[sand scarab]

If you use water you'd want to bake it dry or something

[kind locust]

Thanks I'll get that one

[sand scarab]

I think you can get it in white too

[kind locust]

Now I just need to get the mousepad and mouse to match

I ll got to the ltt store and get them

Alot of help thanks

[sand scarab]

No worries man there's plenty of other keyboards btw you can check which one fits you better

[sweet thunder]

Gateron pro silvers are nice

[dawn swan]

has anyone had issues with GMMK 100%/TKL non pro with polling rate or latency

https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Modular-Mechanical-Keyboard-Gaming/dp/B01MSVHZTT

one of these 3

it has good amazon reviews and it claims 1000hz and nkro but i have seen complaints about "poor pcb" and bad latency

or software not allowing changing from 125hz

[swift forge]

dang new server banner and icon 🥳

[languid crane]

Really good keyboard for Mac and pc ? For long hours and good typing feel

[unkempt dome]

Keychron

[languid crane]

Which version ? I was thinking the same but unsure if the k2 looks abit to steep height wise

[unkempt dome]

The one that will suit your needs the best

Get an hotswap one at the very least

[vestal terrace]

hi, has anyone used Redragon K586 Brahma mechanical keyboard? if any one as used it, can you share your thought about this product. I can not find a good review of it online. I want to know if its worth it or not before I buy it for myself

[unkempt dome]

How much is it ?

[hardy grove]

i seee i found it rather difficult to tell the switches on their website

[hardy grove]

just when i had made up my mind to get them turns out they sell for double in my country

[merry wyvern]

Oof

What ones were you thinking of getting?

[hardy grove]

now that akkos are out i was planning on

these

im only gonna change the alphabet keys out tho because i like the feel of the others

also, why tf a switch puller cost like 10$😭

[spark hatch]

id get akko swithces

[hardy grove]

they raised their prices in my region so not me

[merry wyvern]

Ah ok yellows aren’t bad

I still prefer akkos

[merry wyvern]

You can get a way cheaper switch puller

I bought a switch and keycap puller for 5 bucks on Amazon

[dawn swan]

are there any fullsize plate mount boards that have 1000hz polling and no chord splitting for less than 100 still in production

gigabyte force k83 is good but its no longer made i think

its hard to find information on how alot actually behave until actually using them

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/872694502157090827/1012065305306083398/unknown.png

some compact board i have that was 40 dollars

it has nkro but that is awful

6ms between each key sent

when all were pressed down at the same time

[spark hatch]

keychron c2?

[dawn swan]

i ordered gmmk barebones 100% and kalih box and keycaps but i have seen people complain about it

didnt ship yet

something about the hotswap pcb being bad and having really high input latency

and locked 125hz polling rate

keychron c2 looks like it might be good if it is 1000hz but does it have the splitting issue

[spark hatch]

what splitting issue are you talking abo;ut

[dawn swan]

where it cannot send more than one keypress in one polling cycle

[spark hatch]

its fine. I havent heard any issues. keychron and akko make better boards tho

[spark hatch]

it has antighosting

[dawn swan]

its separate from ghosting

it can register all the presses at once

but it does not send them all at once

it spreads it across multiple cycles

[spark hatch]

sounds like a very niche issue to care about. what are you using the board for?

[dawn swan]

mostly gaming

its mainly an issue people that play rythm games complain about but i just care since i dont want to have to ever deal with it

i have a broken 35 dollar keyboard that does not have the issue

and then expensive boards that do have it

[spark hatch]

I've never heard of this issue till now. and I use a keychron q1 as a daily

and my c2 has worked just as good as my q1

[dawn swan]

anything running QMK firmware main branch has the issue too

people are working on solutions but they are not merged yet

on the github

[spark hatch]

if you really care you could google it. but I wouldnt worry about it. I highly doubt its gonna made a real word differance

[dawn swan]

there is very little information

[spark hatch]

then I have it, its not noticebale

[dawn swan]

what firmware does the keychron use stock

[spark hatch]

your worring about something that doesn't matter

[spark hatch]

look on there website no idea. only the q series has qmk support

[dawn swan]

https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/4904

[spark hatch]

im using the latest firmware avalable on keychrons website if that means anything to you. but I really think your stressing over somthing that doesnt matter

[dawn swan]

if im spending the time to replace switches/do soldering for hours i would like to have zero limitations when some very cheap keyboards do not have it but some 100 dollar+ boards still do

i replaced all switches on my durgod k310 and then had to deal with firmware problems like it not actually being 1000hz polling rate

and their awful zeus software

then had to flip the PCB over and short pins on it to get it into bootloader mode and flash qmk

and then still see that it is behaving worse than a broken k83 that i have laying around

durgod software is bad

[spark hatch]

Id reccomend keychron or akko. they both make good boards that are well priced. I cant help you with what your going on about

[latent blaze]

glorious doesnt make very good boards, you are better off with a keychron or akko like quillasious said. Depending on your preferred layout the ik75 is quite good

the mod00# series and 5075s is good from akko and keychron v1 and anything Q series is good

[dawn swan]

i like 100%/full and i just want to avoid anything that is not natively 1000hz polling rate

and nkro

i do not care about switch/keycap quality as much since i could just replace them

[latent blaze]

keychron q6 is good

barbomnes

[dawn swan]

what plate material

and if that board is running QMK firmware it has the multi press issue with splitting

[merry wyvern]

I’m always gonna stick with Akko

[dawn swan]

this is a screenshot of my durgod running QMK firmware using a keyboard polling rate test tool

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1771624326931008403/B313AFA93D9A835611DD311825CAB28B331F0EC7/

[merry wyvern]

There switches are superior

[latent blaze]

steel

[dawn swan]

can only send one keypress at a time

and queues them one after another

when all those switches are pressed at the same time instead of them all being sent at once they are sent 1ms apart in a line

each polling cycle

[unkempt dome]

Check if epomaker or amazon have them in stock ... even aliexpress

[unkempt dome]

Yeah it's extreme gamery stuff ...

[spark hatch]

yea

[unkempt dome]

Pretty sure it won't unless someone plays osu or other rythm games as if their life depended on it ... which it's not but some like to believe it

[spark hatch]

mhm

[unkempt dome]

If polling rate and such is so important ... why just not use ps/2 keyboard

Ps/2 work by interrupt ... in theory should be better than any 1000hz keyboard

[spark hatch]

yea

[unkempt dome]

Also what keyboard are you putting that in ?

[cobalt eagle]

On what keyboard can you change the key sens like you can put on very high and you barely have to press any key

[ionic briar]

those with hall effect or analog capable optoelectric switches

for example the wooting two he or the wooting 60he

[sweet thunder]

Wooting is pretty good

[unkempt dome]

Akko or keychron

[rocky crescent]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k12-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39299048046681

does anyone have this keyboard?

[rocky crescent]

lmao im tryna make that decision too

[hardy grove]

the amazon one is 3$ cheaper but will take a month to arrive

[hardy grove]

E Yooso 60% hot swap with outemu blue stock

Will do tempest and foam mod as well

[chilly perch]

A lot of modern mobos won't actually use interrupt for ps/2 I'm pretty sure

[merry wyvern]

Hm

[unkempt dome]

Be sure that it uses proper hotswap socket and not outemu socket

[hardy grove]

Yep I took one switch out with my nails and it is as indicated

[hoary ingot]

I need help to be convinced that a 11ms keyboard (keychron) is worth getting over a 2ms or less "gaming" keyboard when I'm getting a keyboard for my mac anyways

I'm interested in thocky keyboards but at the same time I already have a huntsman v2 analog that doesn't have mac drivers

I use a Windows PC as my desktop and Mac as my laptop, and will dock it onto my desk sometimes, which is why I want a second keyboard

[unkempt dome]

Which hotswap socket is it ?

[hardy grove]

its a normal 3 pin socket

pin arrangement is identical to the gaterons i ordered

[unkempt dome]

Not what I want to know

What kind of socket ... outemu, kailh, gateron ? ...

[unkempt dome]

@hardy grove

[dawn swan]

GMMK 1 is not worth using

not actually 1000hz polling rate even after selecting in their software

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/872694502157090827/1012444149825421392/unknown.png

7ms between each input

125hz

tested with keyboard inspector 0.4.0

and the switch plate is machined so poorly that kalih box switches basically fell out when pulling a switch next to it

or came off when pulling the keycap off the switch

the FULL barebones model

the worst part being that even more inputs were delayed by 7ms after installing the glorious software that allows RGB control

[open crow]

Is there a way to set my nk65 too 1000hz polling rate?

[dawn swan]

are you using qmk

you would put this line in config.h of a keymap directory and then compile and flash

#define USB_POLLING_INTERVAL_MS 1

main branch of QMK still has the issue of only sending one key at a time but you can atleast set 1000hz

so they would only be split apart by 1ms from eachother if pressing multiple keys at once

@open crow

[open crow]

I can

[dawn swan]

i do not really know anything about that keyboard though

[open crow]

Mind dming me this so i dont forget?

[dawn swan]

but that is what worked for my durgod

[open crow]

I can try atleast

[dawn swan]

if it is not already running qmk you would have to look up a specific guide on how to get that keyboard into bootloader mode and flash it

for mine i had to open it and put a wire to jump across controller pins

[open crow]

Hmm

[dawn swan]

some keyboards you hold ESC while unplugging and plugging the usb cable in

[open crow]

What polling rate is my keeb on rn anyways?

[dawn swan]

you would have to test

[open crow]

Is there a stock frequency for these things

[dawn swan]

some keyboards run 125hz without changing anything and others run 1000hz

usually gaming brands are at 1000 and custom keyboards sometimes have 125 default

[open crow]

Can u dm me with the how to do it cant do it rn and dont wanna forget abt it

[dawn swan]

i cannot really give an exact how to since i do not know the exact details of that keyboard

just look up a tutorial on how to use QMK toolbox

i can dm some of the documentation pages

[open crow]

Yh please

[urban panther]

aw man

my keychron is 250hz

smh

[spark hatch]

the polling rate? it should be 1000. what board did you get?

[urban panther]

V1

according to that software someone listed above

might have to go into VIA settings to change it

[spark hatch]

q1?
yea I'd try the soft ware

[urban panther]

probably the first keyboard I've ever had that didn't ship at 1000Hz out of the box

[dawn swan]

out of every keyboard that i have only one seems to actually be truly 1000hz and not split inputs

when testing with the keyboard inspector program

[spark hatch]

this seems like an issue that doesnt matter

[dawn swan]

it is because it should not even be a problem other than bad firmware

[spark hatch]

just use the one board that doesnt have it if you care that much

[dawn swan]

it is no longer made

[spark hatch]

if it doesnt have a real world impact I dont care

and this doesnt have a real world impact

[spark hatch]

then how did you test it

if you alreadyt have it why do you need it

[dawn swan]

most of the keyboard works but some areas are not functional

if i do decide to use it i will have to attempt to fix the traces or solder joint failures

and i am looking for a good keyboard for someone else to buy

who wants a full layout

not TKL or 60%

[spark hatch]

keychron c2 or an akko board

as ive said before

[dawn swan]

keychron may be a good choice

he would want blue switches and does not want to work on it

just have it functional out of the box

[spark hatch]

keychron would be perfect, c2 doesnt even have software he'd have to fuck with

but if hes big on rgb, theres only acouple preset patterns, and colors you can use

[dawn swan]

are there any options for cherry mx switches or are they only gateron

[spark hatch]

only gateron, but there blue switches are pretty similar to cherry

[dawn swan]

he was being specific about wanting cherry mx switches

[spark hatch]

why, they're shit

[dawn swan]

i told him its not necessarily better just because its cherry

i have had shitty cherry before

[spark hatch]

if he wants good clickies he should get box whites, jades, or navies

[dawn swan]

on a corsair

[spark hatch]

if enything they're worse compared to competition. but if thats what he really prefers he can swap them out

not many enthusiast boards are gonna come stock with cherry

[dawn swan]

i want to use box navies on a board and have a set of them but seeing as the glorious full is atrocious i am going to either repair the gigabyte or find another keyboard

the switch plate tolerances were bad

barely held the switches in

[spark hatch]

right

[dawn swan]

only put a few on it so atleast i didnt have to deal with that

and since its hot swap not solder

i have fully desoldered and resoldered a board before and it took hours from using poor equipment

the one im typing with now

tried to use this as solder sucker

and for pulling the switches off just pressing the plastic central stem from underneath the PCB with a chopstick or allen key

that solder sucker was not fit for doing that many joints lol

i think only 30w and dirty tip

[spark hatch]

solder sucks are only like 10$ if you need one lmao

that looks alittel extreme

[dawn swan]

the process went much faster after using one of those cheap suckers

i have used bad ones in the past so i thought the station style with a vacuum pump would work better

but it was not

used mostly box black switches on it and it is fairly nice but i have some chattering and i still like clicky switches more

which is why im looking to do another keyboard with box navy

[spark hatch]

ah

[dawn swan]

only used gateron/cherry blue on the other clicking boards

and model M/model f keyboards

model M has 2kro though and cannot be used very well on a computer without a ps2 port

the converters i tried had really bad input lag and would randomly stop responding

keyboard kept losing power

i just dont like weak tactile or speed switches that much

the bump on mx brown/clone browns kind of feels gross when typing or playing fps games

blue felt like a crisp tactile feedback

would rather have either very clear feedback or none

[spark hatch]

understandable, brown switches are ass

[ionic briar]

have you tried alps?

or matias for that matter

[spark hatch]

if you think blues are a crisp feel you should try box switches, they're amazing clickies

[ionic briar]

or the very expensive clickiez

[dawn swan]

i have box navies that im going to use

just deciding what to put them on

which is why i have been trying to figure out which keyboards have the best firmware behavior and polling rate

anything with QMK should be good since it can be adjusted manually but the main stable build of qmk firmware does not have support for sending more than one key per polling cycle

i would like to just have one that has stock firmware with none of the polling rate problems out of the box

native 1000hz without any form of splitting

and nkro

[spark hatch]

I personally would just get a keychron q series

[chrome raft]

I went doctors and they had a Fijisu keyboard.(they very big on air conditioning) Has anyone else seen one.

[unkempt dome]

Cherry are really not the best tho

[unkempt dome]

Akko is releasing a pom line of switches ... nice

Now they need to do a full nylon housing with pom stem long pole switch

[manic dragon]

Q6! Q6! Q6!

[spark hatch]

Is that the 40% one?

[chilly perch]

Q6 full sized

I love mine

Need to find the right switches for mine rho

[unkempt dome]

What kind You like ?

[merry wyvern]

Yeah you can’t just ask somebody wha switches are right. It’s up to preference. Do you like linear, tactile, or clicky

Because once you specify what switch type you want, we can help you find the best for that type.

best for price, and/or best for sound.

[chilly perch]

Oh yeah I have a list someone gave me but

Basically looking for a tactile with a strong bump

I prefer the typing feel of my cherry blue kb but click is too loud. Also the weight on mx blue i prefer over how light the stock gat browns are

[merry wyvern]

You might like holy pandas

or kinetic labs husky switches

I heard those were good too

[chilly perch]

Yeah I've heard pandas recommended a few times

[unkempt dome]

Akko lavender purple

[merry wyvern]

^

[cunning anvil]

woo my technikable ships soon

very excited to have a smal ble ortho kb

[wanton geyser]

Anyone know a good 20-40 clean looking keycap set (dark colors) for a 65%??

pls ping me

[merry wyvern]

You can’t get a nice keycap set for that much

Maybe $40 but definitely not lower

[wanton geyser]

okayyy, 40 is in the lrice range

price

So..

[merry wyvern]

Ik

[wanton geyser]

u know some?

[merry wyvern]

Possibly

What colours?

[wanton geyser]

Dark colors

[merry wyvern]

Bruh

[wanton geyser]

black/darkblue/purple

could be a mix

Just overal clean look, not to messy

[merry wyvern]

so like a dark blue and purple

[wanton geyser]

no

not combied

combined

Rither that or that yk

either

[merry wyvern]

Oh so like one or the other

[wanton geyser]

Yee

[merry wyvern]

alright

I’ll look

[wanton geyser]

prefered to have a mix of 2 dark colors, or 3

like black/blue/….

[merry wyvern]

Gimme a min and I’ll get back to you

[wanton geyser]

ty

[merry wyvern]

You just said only one colour

Not mixing colours

[wanton geyser]

Just not those 2

[merry wyvern]

So like a mix of black and blue

Dark blue I mean

@wanton geyser

[wanton geyser]

i thought this looked clean but its amazon

so yeah

thatz 43

[merry wyvern]

What’s wrong with Amazon?

I get things from Amazon all the time

[wanton geyser]

idk mostly you can get everything on other sites for 10% cheaper

[merry wyvern]

hm okay

I’ll have a poke around the internet and look for some

[wanton geyser]

alr cool

tysm

[merry wyvern]

np

Wait @wanton geyser what currency?

[wanton geyser]

euro preffered

[merry wyvern]

like what country

Ah ok

euros got it

[wanton geyser]

netherlands

[merry wyvern]

Okay

What profile @wanton geyser

[wanton geyser]

um

[merry wyvern]

like Cherry, oem, asa, etc

[wanton geyser]

maybe just PBT or double shot abs

off

ohhhhhh

[merry wyvern]

not the material lmao

[wanton geyser]

i think cherry not sure

[merry wyvern]

okay

Cherry is fine

[wanton geyser]

its going on the gateron oil kings

loving the switches

[merry wyvern]

Oem are basically Cherry but less of an indent

[merry wyvern]

Ooo nice

[wanton geyser]

Alr

ill also keep looking

[spark hatch]

its taller

[merry wyvern]

That too

Honestly @wanton geyser Amazon is probably gonna be your cheapest option when it comes to keyboard parts

[wanton geyser]

not always

But

ty tho

[merry wyvern]

Because other websites specifically for keyboard parts are gonna be way more expensive

But better quality

[spark hatch]

not nessiarily

[merry wyvern]

If you want good quality just save up a bit more

[wanton geyser]

and normally 50 euro shipping to the nrthrrlands

[merry wyvern]

90% of the time

[spark hatch]

not for me at least

amazon just has over priced shit

[merry wyvern]

well it honestly depends on where you live

[wanton geyser]

i wanted the keychron v1 but the shipping is 20€ and i couldnt find it on a EU site

[merry wyvern]

Not really.

[wanton geyser]

in gaming parts yeah

[spark hatch]

q1?

[wanton geyser]

To expensive

[spark hatch]

there is no v1

[merry wyvern]

Maybe like mice and keyboards but not keyboard parts

[wanton geyser]

ye

there is?

Look it up

Its like so cheap

For rlly good quality

[wanton geyser]

milky yellow switches pro 70pc is 30 euros

csn get is 22 euros

can

[merry wyvern]

okay

[wanton geyser]

pc parts overpriced

[merry wyvern]

All of the stuff I’ve bought has been pretty cheap and not over priced

[wanton geyser]

prebuilt also

[merry wyvern]

I definitely agree with this

[wanton geyser]

me 2 i just look deeply in the internet if theres something better

[merry wyvern]

Alr

[wanton geyser]

like i bought my pc parts for only 1100

Which had good specs

could go for 1400 on amazon

3060 ti, 5600x 32g ram, b570X

[spark hatch]

oh wo;uld you look at that, ig I fell behind in what products they had mb

[wanton geyser]

yeah

No problem tho

Q1 is still a very good keyboard for its price

[spark hatch]

why cant you get it? looks just a very good board. q1 but in plastic case

[wanton geyser]

And also better quality than v1

[wanton geyser]

because the shipping is 20…

And total is up to 85~

[spark hatch]

yea, its been my daily for abit now

[wanton geyser]

While the keyboard i wanna buy now is 62

free shipping

[spark hatch]

what board is that?

[wanton geyser]

ummm

lemme check

i think gamakay lk67

Should be that ye

[chrome raft]

Anyone know the pin out of a razor ortanwa v2 I want usb-c mod it

[spark hatch]

googel it

[wanton geyser]

either way, i already have a hot swap keyboard and i dont have all the money for every part ATM so im buying it in parts, first the key switches, then keycaps, then new board

so maybe ill be able to afford it

at that time

[spark hatch]

ah, never heard of it, it looks pretty decent tho

[wanton geyser]

Itll be hard working with my new study

yeah it is really for its price

Its around the built quality of the v1 but then with more rgb and a different layout

[spark hatch]

gotcha

[wanton geyser]

Yep

maybe, maybe not

we’ll see

[sharp hatch]

Is the wireless 850 desktop keyboard and mouse set from Microsoft good or no?

Like should I replace it with a different keyboard and mouse for $50 budget

Also can you program function keys?

I have 4 on mine that don’t have a function I think?

[spark hatch]

no its shit, but if you already have it and dont have a very big budget you might aswell use it and save for smthn better

I'd save for keychron c2 and logitech g203 or 305

[sharp hatch]

I got it for free so

[sharp hatch]

Send links

[spark hatch]

may I ask what you're using it for?

[sharp hatch]

Gaming, work, streaming, downloading, everything

[spark hatch]

for gaming its pretty shit but if you're just casual its not a big deal

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c2-wired-mechanical-keyboard

https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g305-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse.html

theres also the c1 from keychron and the g203 from logitech

[sharp hatch]

Like for playing minecraft and csgo and stuff it’s good?

[spark hatch]

it would work, but it wouldnt be ideal

[slow grotto]

i am hoping i can get some help with a ducky one2mini keyboard. It simply stopped working about a year ago and i never figured out why

[spark hatch]

have you traced leads?

[slow grotto]

?

[spark hatch]

looked to make sure there no corrosion on the pcb's leads

[sharp hatch]

So it’s better to just go with my Microsoft 850 then?

[slow grotto]

Looks like this all around

[spark hatch]

as I said, it would work but It wouldnt be ideal

I would recommend upgrading the mouse at the least

[spark hatch]

see the lines everywhere? those are traces

[slow grotto]

ah, faint parts that look dirty

[spark hatch]

they shouldnt be dirty

[slow grotto]

guessing i cant just wipe it with a swab or something either huh? lol

[spark hatch]

a microfiber cloth would be fine

[slow grotto]

would simply wiping it clean make a difference though?

[spark hatch]

probably not but your traces shouldnt be dirty

id try a diffent cable and make sure the port isnt wrecked. if that seems fine contact ducky support

[sharp hatch]

Well what should I get for playing games then?

[spark hatch]

I sent you links as you asked

[spark hatch]

.

[sharp hatch]

Oh

Thx

Are these function keys programmable?

9 to 12

[spark hatch]

I highly doubt it

[sharp hatch]

I want to use 11 and 12 to skip and rewind songs

GUCK

[spark hatch]

there might be a way to do it, but im not sure how

[sharp hatch]

Ok

[spark hatch]

you could google it, maybe theres a program

[sharp hatch]

So I use TRR headphones and use a splitter for mic and noise, is it possible to use the wire to skip songs and shit?

[spark hatch]

possibly? that'd be a question to ask in #audio-tech

they would know

[unkempt dome]

Yeah not in canada, 95% of the time amazon is cheaper than anywhere else for technology

Like mouse, keyboard, mostly any pc parts

[dim wasp]

I am so confused

What switch is this?

[minor pendant]

It looks like some sort of kailh blue switch? its hard to see the logo on the switch itself

Or maybe not, that k doesn't look like other Kailh switch logos

[wispy bolt]

it looks kinda like an X with the top left trailing off

[minor pendant]

Maybe its a hyperX branded switch?

[spark hatch]

what do the letters on the top of the swtich sat?

say

[dim wasp]

It's some sort of stylized x or k

[spark hatch]

never heard of it

[wispy bolt]

looks like the word red

[spark hatch]

great observation

its k or x red

[dim wasp]

Yeah this was a super no name board I picked up from a liquidator because it had a "scroll wheel"

[spark hatch]

gotcha

why you wanna know hwat switches its got?

[dim wasp]

Low profile mod

[spark hatch]

ah

[minor pendant]

I mean it looks like its using a standard kind of MX style box, it might fit in a low profile case with the plate without any mods if thats what youre concerned of?

I would take my advice with a grain of salt, I've only recently started getting into keyboards

[unkempt dome]

is that board even hotswap ?
