im trying to understand how to do it correctly
There’s a ton of guides that do into depth about lubing
twilit flare
idk if im gonna foam the case
glossy sandal
this dude did every mod possible in this video im scared
Mods are completely optional

In war, you can only be killed once. In Politics, many times.
glossy sandal
What if I eat the Mona Lisa
twilit flare
Mods are completely optional
i know but i want them to make a difference
i might lube the stabalizers too
glossy sandal
i might lube the stabalizers too
Please do
twilit flare
okay
glossy sandal
Lubing is like the most important mod
pastel drift
Don’t a lot of people get a specific stab?
glossy sandal
yeah i wont buy the milky yellows
Milky Yellows ≠ Thock
glossy sandal
Don’t a lot of people get a specific stab?
All stabs can be good, just the amount of work you’re willing to put in
glossy sandal
But they are screw in I think
You’re thinking of durock v2s
twilit flare
ohhh
pastel drift
You’re thinking of durock v2s
Oh yea
glossy sandal
Put any standard linear in a tape filled foam filled board and it’ll “thock”
Whatever thock means

are there any 35g silent linear switches, or would i have to make my own?
pastel drift
How do you make your own?
royal patrol
How do you make your own?
changing the stock spring
royal patrol
Completely silent?
an actual dampened silent switch preferably yes
not a standard linear
glossy sandal
Check out haimu heartbeats

glossy sandal
You’d have to spring swap them but they’re awesome silents
royal patrol
You’d have to spring swap them but they’re awesome silents
ah okay
i was hoping i could find some that are 35g stock
id be willing to settle with 45g
glossy sandal
They don’t use dampeners and stuff so they feel good 
I can try to see what I can find
pastel drift
@twilit flare
glossy sandal
Closest I can find off the top of my head are 52g
twilit flare
What bro

Avoid all the big keeb YouTubers
twilit flare
every single milky yellow sound test sounds insanely different
pastel drift
Well yea
glossy sandal
Yah
glossy sandal
Don’t trust sound tests
twilit flare
idk why they mod the entire keyboard just show me the lubed switches damn
royal patrol
well yeah everyone uses different microphones and has a different desk, deskpad, different room and environment
twilit flare
i dont know whats the actual sound gonna be like for me
pastel drift
Yea
royal patrol
it looks like kailh box silent pinks might be the lightest silent linear
35g actuation 45g bottom
twilit flare
it might sound horrible
glossy sandal
Oh those flew over my head
that’s crazy light though
You’re sure of that spring weight?
twilit flare
i want mutahar's keyboard
pastel drift
Show
twilit flare
glossy sandal
10/10
twilit flare
the crumbs inbetween the keys really compliment the overall design and the feel of the keyboard
once it settles in after about the 14th year of use, you really feel it
yeah idk literally every single video with the milky yellows have thock in it
glossy sandal
That’s cause they’re a really hyped switch
Synonymous with beginners and by association, “thock”
pastel drift
End game keyboard Fr Fr
twilit flare
no the switch literally just has thock in it ima just keep the browns
dont know if milky yellows sound good when gaming anyways

(for me)

glossy sandal

About those 35g switches
that’s really light
royal patrol
I bought it for 99 😭
if you just bought it you can probably get them to price match and discount you
glossy sandal
you can work with those?
royal patrol
yeah i used to daily drive 35g linears

How do I do that?

glossy sandal
I hover around 50-60g

i was using an epomaker 60% with foam and lubed 35g linears
im probably going 75% or tkl with my next build
glossy sandal

not really looking for an exploded 75% with a knob though
looking for a compact 75%/80%
glossy sandal

royal patrol
no space between keyrows like this
glossy sandal
Don’t really have anything to recommend
I think that layout is so clustered so I don’t really look at it
pastel drift
no space between keyrows like this
That looks overwhelming
royal patrol
how so

So compact and no space

Some people like flexy gasket mounted boards
royal patrol
ive never used a gasket mount so i wouldnt know
glossy sandal
Hmm
royal patrol
my only custom build ive done is my epomaker 60%
glossy sandal
So a tray mount
It’s like the stiffness of that
But spread evenly across the board
royal patrol
if it's a familiar feeling to the tray mount on the epomaker 60% then i have no issue with it
layout is more important to me
glossy sandal
Yeah you’ll be fine then
fading iris
I ain’t done shit wit keyboards I have gmmk compact with the over priced af pandas I wanna do a full custom 75% with some nice linears when I get the cash
royal patrol
anyone here have thoughts on the gateron oil kings

I mean it really depends what you mean by cash

supposedly theyre nearly as smooth as a hand lubed switch out of box
royal patrol
shame theyre as heavy as an anvil
glossy sandal
supposedly theyre nearly as smooth as a hand lubed switch out of box
Okay maybe not as smooth as hand lube
But they’re a good example of the strides made by factory lube
royal patrol
i cant wait for factory lube to be identical or even better
lubing switches is tedious and not fun whatsoever
glossy sandal
It’s getting there
There’s a lot of hype around aflion switches recently

is the d84 only available in purple, white, and red?
if so that's an instant no im too lazy to paint it
it looks like the kbd75 has no black either
i just want a black compact 75 or 80% keyboard why is this such a high demand
i might have to go 65% or exploded 75
royal patrol
wowie this tofu65 is gorgeous
glossy sandal
There’s a Tofu84
royal patrol
i think i might have to spring swap some silent black inks
glossy sandal
Why those specifically?
royal patrol
would that not be the smoothest silent linear
there's supposed to be a black kbd75 but i guess it's out of stock on kbdfans
glossy sandal
would that not be the smoothest silent linear
No
royal patrol
not really so long as it isn't outrageous
glossy sandal
alright
Aflion switches should be good
Black Sesames (invokeys), Red Jackets, Green Jackets, matcha lattes, etc etc
unkempt dome
I concur, the red jacket are nice
royal patrol
the black sesame look pretty
royal patrol
twilit flare
does rgb shine through them
royal patrol
dunno
unkempt dome
also I bought the akko acr pro 68
twilit flare
well since im not getting switches i guess i can afford to buy keycaps
unkempt dome
they have nice quality and good price
glossy sandal
akko makes cool boards, i would like them more if they did qmk/via support
unkempt dome
not the best but clearly not the worst for that price
unkempt dome
I don't need qmk/via support ... I never install keyboard software

I wouldn’t really recommend going that hard for a board you don’t know if you’ll like
I can recommend a really cheap one that’s decent though

Hi, I dont know any other channel that would suit my issue, But my mouse is being odd all the sudden.
When im playing a game and i right click, It clicks again and stops the thing im doing. I do not know if this is double clicking or not, But its really annoying
chrome raft
What do you mean stops what you’re doing?
unkempt dome
Sounds like double clicking indeed
Check if you can replace the switch, if not change the mouse.
sweet thunder
A weird way to ask for advice
main urchin
100 dollar mechanic keyboard but I might need to mod it to make it quiet.
sweet thunder
Layout?
main urchin
idk man
sweet thunder
Do you use numpad?
sweet thunder
Good choice
Fuck cockstar and their greedy bullshit
Anyways
Do you use all these keys?
main urchin
yea
dull herald
yes
main urchin
Should I not use that?
sweet thunder
No I’m just surprised
main urchin
Cause I screenshot stuff man
sweet thunder
It’s like old DOS controls
sweet thunder
I think ff xiv has some keybinds there?
I’m just asking because something like a 75% layout will give you like 4-6 nav keys I stead of 9
So you can keep the ones you use and not bother with the ones you don’t
main urchin
idk
What are you saying
But
I’m just looking for a quiet keyboard
*can it be on Amazon please
main urchin
Us
chrome raft
That’s easy then
sweet thunder
I was gonna recommend like a keychron v1/3
chrome raft
Yeah
sweet thunder
Since those are barebones and you can put in silent switches
But those don’t seem to be in stock on Amazon
main urchin
?
sweet thunder
That’s over budget
main urchin
That ok
chrome raft
main urchin
I’m gonna use this thing called alrifhem whatever it called
sweet thunder
main urchin
I am disgusted by the looks of that key
sweet thunder
what key
chrome raft
If you’re looking for a basic TKL with silent switches there are hundreds of options dude
sweet thunder
the keycaps?
chrome raft
Just go on AMAZON and find a keyboard with red switches if you want mechanical
main urchin
the keycaps?
Yes
chrome raft
Razer, Logitech, etc have incredible sales
sweet thunder
you can change the keycaps
main urchin
Red switches?
sweet thunder
quiet ish
main urchin
they had red switches
sweet thunder
red is usually referring to linear but not always
main urchin
oh
chrome raft
sweet thunder
but if you get a barebones you can get actual silent switches and put those in
main urchin
Thx
chrome raft
He’s got a low budget
sweet thunder
id stick with keychron
chrome raft
Mainstream brand is where it’s at
He just wants a quiet keyboard
Razer or Logitech will be more than alright
chrome raft
Yeah that’s what I linked first
chrome raft
ok
Just get a mechanical keyboard from a mainstream brand in your preferred size with red switches
Something like this
main urchin
Ok thx
chrome raft
question, pro micro doesn’t ghost right?
I’m assuming that’s what all the diodes are for
sweet thunder
It probably won’t
At least based on rtings testings
The fastest qmk board they’ve tested has a 6ms input latency compared to the sub 2ms latency of most newer “gaming” keyboards
chrome raft
Nah I don’t care about that I’m just worried that this budget board will be unusable
chrome raft
Like it registers multiple keys at the same time as most boards do right
These custom QMK plates GB
sweet thunder
Yeah qmk has n key rollover
sweet thunder
Well qmk supports it, I assume anything made recently will have a good enough micro-controller to take advantage of that
chrome raft
sweet thunder
Christ 375
chrome raft
such is the price of looking gooofy ahh 😌
It’s not a classic top mount tho so not my endgame
I’ll be on the look out
sweet thunder
From what I’ve heard the next gen tofu is gonna use a very good micro controller
So if you’re interested in a 60% maybe wait for that PCB
chrome raft
well what else could be better than 1000hz
How much better can they make it
Mechanical switches have an innate 8ms delay
chrome raft
Also the group buy is gonna provide a pcb or they usually do
sweet thunder
Infinite layers and effects at least
chrome raft
Hopefully the one I find will have this updated micro controller
60% WKL does need a layer or two
sweet thunder
Kbdfans usually stocks their PCBs so I’d imagine this will become available to buy on its own?
It’s meant to replace to dz60 PCBs afaik
Going from 32KB of memory to 16MB
chrome raft
Hopefully will translate to group buys
I’m satisfied with my many current keyboards I was just looking for one to rule them all

Sure I know that
But is hard to be 100% sure if the dongle is needed
Every Bluetooth keyboard will work, of course
unkempt dome
if your motherboard have bluetooth and the keyboard is bluetooth then you don't need a dongle
warm karma
But not all without the dongle
warm karma
if your motherboard have bluetooth and the keyboard is bluetooth then you don't ...
That is not true
Most need the dongle
unkempt dome
not really no
warm karma
For example, I was looking at the Logitech G305 mouse and it needs the dongle
unkempt dome
cause it's not bluetooth
it's their propriatary protocol that is way faster than bluetooth
thing they call it lightspeed or something like that
unkempt dome
well g305 is not a bluetooth mouse
warm karma
Ok
unkempt dome
so it sure won't work without the dongle
warm karma
Forgotten already
unkempt dome
like I said ... lots of laptop mouse on amazon ... usually those that states multimode has a dongle for the 2.4 gHz and are also bluetooth which work without the dongle ...
you can check the questions and answer to be sur about that ... some people will ask exactly the question you're asking here cause they are on macbook and have a very limited amount of usb port and such
warm karma
Yes
unkempt dome
some even have side buttons and a dpi button
warm karma
But it seems that brands like Logitech and similar have their own connection right?
unkempt dome
not always
check if the orochi v2 needs the dongle for the bluetooth or if it's just for the 2.4gz ...

product photos from the first AMZ vendor i bought from didnt show surface differences very well on the first batch of Gateron yellows i got, its still my fault but im just salty its THAT key
thanks for the reply bud @chilly perch 🙂

np, and as to your actual question idk of any videos of actually doing the repair

handwiring hours
boreal rivet
Scrape off the solder mask on the traces that led to the socket pads
And short the pins to those traces
chilly perch
Yea thats p much the procedure
Probably hot glue the socket down, and always give it back support when socketing a different switch

What does that mean 'smearing keys' and 'flipping keys'

My caps lock key is acting like L crtl and my L crtl key is acting like caps
for example if I try to open up task manager I have to do caps, alt, del

So i guess the people worrying about their Keyboards might also have come across a nice mouse or two.
Looking to replace my MX Master but i got really used to the second wheel which i use to scroll through video editing timelines. But it seems the horizontal mousewheel is kinda dead since i only see the newer MX Masters with one.
Am i missing some coole competitor or am i stuck with the MX (or change my habits)
untold orchid
I mean if you dont use it for gaming at all might as well just stick with the mx lineup
royal patrol
you could get a super lightweight mouse for gaming and keep your master for when you want to do some scrolling
otherwise i’d just keep your master mouse if it does what you want

The kit comes with a pcb
It comes with everything you need other than switches and keycaps

what are silicone socks
glossy sandal
The gaskets used the mount the plate and pcb
Basically the mounting style
This is a gross over simplification but this should give some insight
royal patrol
so would you recommend spending the $2 for the silicone socks
glossy sandal
You don’t need anything extra
Those are extras in case you think you’ll mess something up
royal patrol
oh okay
the tiger engraving on the bottom of the case is nice
@glossy sandal do you know if it’ll fit extra foam between the case and pcb?
id like to deaden the sound as much as possible
looks like it does but it may affect how much it can flex
that’s unimportant to me anyway

Silent switches should do the job just fine

it comes with foam for on top of the pcb but not for putting between the pcb and case

you can add that yourself
