im new to custom keyboard so im looking to build my first hotswap
pastel drift
I need help.. anyone have site suggestions for getting keyboard parts?
Try keychron
remote heart
thanks @pastel drift do you have any recommendations for frame?
pastel drift
No sorry
remote heart
ah no worries
untold orchid
thanks <@732555675967815763> do you have any recommendations for frame?
what size
remote heart
im thinking 80%
untold orchid
so tkl
remote heart
yes
untold orchid
keychron Q3
remote heart
hmmm 150-180?
stoic tangle
Do you wanna build a custom or a prebuilt?
remote heart
both i just want options
i was thinking the ducky one 3 but i dont like the white plate
it get scratch easily
stoic tangle
Duckys are not recommended, trust me you can get way better
remote heart
well any suggestions?
stoic tangle
Well there's keychron, you can get their V3/Q3 kits if you want to build with your own switches and keycaps. Or go with the assembled options for only a bit more
V3 is plastic and Q3 is metal but they're both great
There's also the Zoom TKL slightly above your budget and it's a group buy but that would be beyond premium for most
Or the tiger lite that's good value
stoic tangle
That's a 65%
remote heart
wait only 65% can have that profile?
stoic tangle
Oh you mean high profile so you don't see the switches?
stoic tangle
Yeh that's fair, I think that's an NK, they also make a tkl https://novelkeys.com/products/nk87-entry-edition?variant=41740390662311
That's their budget kit, most colors sold out but I saw gray
This is zoom tkl https://meletrix.com/pages/zoom-tkl-ee-configurator
This is tiger lite https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-tiger-lite-keyboard-kit
This is Q3https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q3-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard
remote heart
hm so what does that include?
and the first one you sent was perfect is kinda like the profile im looking for
stoic tangle
So a kit generally includes everything but the switches and keycaps
So the case, plate, pcb, stabilizers, sometimes a case and foam
remote heart
ah so all the ones you sent are hot swap tho right?
don't feel like doing soldering
stoic tangle
Yup, I don't consider solder boards anymore lol. They're fun projects when you want to but not great convenience
remote heart
cool ill def take a look at thank you
now what kinda switches would you recommend? I really enjoy MX brown
so kinda looking for something similiar to that
glossy sandal
The brown switches
Light tactiles are akkos specialty, highly rec
The Akko pom browns are Coolio
remote heart
The Akko pom browns are Coolio
are they kinda the same as browns?
stoic tangle
What kind of sound would you prefer from your keyboard?
remote heart
what's the point getting the Akko pom over brown then?
chrome raft
Cherry browns are blasphemous
remote heart
oh my
stoic tangle
Yeah it's a whole rabbit hole lol
chrome raft
not really
remote heart
so what are the thockest switch? lol
chrome raft
90% are just garbage recolours
chrome raft
so what are the thockest switch? lol
Boba U4T
remote heart
i just learned that term lol
chrome raft
Also the gold standard of tactiles tbh
stoic tangle
Yeah fax
stoic tangle
They're pretty deep sounding and tactile
Well you buy packs depending on your key amount but I think they're like .70 per switch?
chrome raft
Durock poms are nice as linears
remote heart
me no gusta linear switches
stoic tangle
u4t boba stems in moyu black housings*
Franken switchings too much work for the results imo
chrome raft
Franken switchings too much work for the results imo
Depends if you’re going for a super endgame build
stoic tangle
me no gusta linear switches
Which ones have you tried
remote heart
so @stoic tangle is the Q3 high profile? i cant really tell from the picture
stoic tangle
Depends if you’re going for a super endgame build
Yeah if you want best no matter what I get it, but most don't need or notice that difference
remote heart
and I've tried pretty much all cherry mx
remote heart
i dont like linear from my experience because they're too sensitive
stoic tangle
so <@284469736518189056> is the Q3 high profile? i cant really tell from the pic...
It's high enough to not see the switches yeah, most are I think
chrome raft
That’s because you’ve been using light springs
Linears aren’t too sensitive you’ve just been using garbage reds
Hyperglide black supremacy
stoic tangle
I like light linears but you can try a heavier one like gateron ink v2s
chrome raft
Blacks are king in premium linears
stoic tangle
But yeah default "thock" tactile are boba u4t
remote heart
quick poll do you guys prefer rgb or non rgb for keyboard
chrome raft
It’s why it’s actually called the big thocc
remote heart
dam @chrome raft seem to know their thocc lol
also ontop of my previous question.. what size are yall keyboards?
chrome raft
40%
stoic tangle
I like a bit of subtle rbg, and I prefer 75%
remote heart
how you do function with 40%
stoic tangle
Layers
remote heart
lmao @stoic tangle i was gonna say the same thing
stoic tangle
And drugs
chrome raft
Also boba u4t lookin mad cute
40% is objectively superior
It’s the inevitable conclusion of keyboard degeneracy
remote heart
hmmm so should i get the keychron Q3 and just modify it with the boba u4t?
chrome raft
One day you will arrive here too
remote heart
should that be the move?
chrome raft
hmmm so should i get the keychron Q3 and just modify it with the boba u4t?
Get barebones version
Barebones has no switches or keycaps
Save money and no ewaste
remote heart
yeah.... but it's only $20 more for caps and switches
stoic tangle
One day you will arrive here too
remote heart
wait how's the gateron G pro brown?
chrome raft
NOOO
stoic tangle
yeah.... but it's only $20 more for caps and switches
If you know for sure you'll change out the keycaps there's not too much of a point though
stoic tangle
I mean they're not bad
remote heart
breh keycaps are sooo expensive
stoic tangle
Man you shoulda been here last week for black friday, cannonkeys had 80 dollar mystery sets at 30
remote heart
stahppppppppp
i didn't know what to look for back then
also my girlfriend is the one getting the keyboard stuff for me for xmas
so i don't wanna get her to spend too much
chrome raft
then I guess you could get it preassembled and add your own switches but you’ll have to deal with mid keycaps
remote heart
yeah... even tho in reality i already spent hella on my pc so i dont feel like spending hella on her present as well lol
chrome raft
Or you can find a keycap set on sale somewhere
stoic tangle
I mean it can be a later upgrade
chrome raft
yeah yeah
remote heart
but $184 tho... yikes
chrome raft
that’s cheap
remote heart
it bouta be $200 after taxes
chrome raft
I think my budget keyboard ended up costing 200
stoic tangle
Yeah it's budget in this world sadly, but you don't need the metal Q3 if you wanna save
remote heart
$200 for a 40%?
stoic tangle
V3 is half the price
chrome raft
lube is expensive 
remote heart
hmmmmm what's the difference between the Q3 and V3?
stoic tangle
Tiger lite is 120
chrome raft
V3 is not thocc
remote heart
why use lube when you can use spit
stoic tangle
V3 plastic not metal
chrome raft
It’s plastic and poker mounted
remote heart
oh fr?
chrome raft
Q series is gasket mounted which is thocc
chrome raft
Honestly you’ll never achieve thocc it’s impossible
Wait wait
You like tactile right
remote heart
yeah

Tactile and thocc?

stoic tangle
That, V3, or nk87 would be good value and you can mod them to be thockier
chrome raft
Yeah v3 isn’t bad on a budget
And you can afford nice keycaps then
V3 barebones + boba u4t + keycaps of your choice
Try and find at least 1/3 on sale
remote heart
breh the nk87 is like $225
chrome raft
Not to mention try and get everything from one place so you don’t pay 300282 in shipping
remote heart
ooooooo
chrome raft
@glossy sandal how many drops of 105 do you use per 10 switches in bag lubing?
remote heart
where would i even go to get the boba switches?
chrome raft
I’m thinking of combining some 105 with 205g0 to make thinner lube for topre
stoic tangle
I got mine from aliexpress
chrome raft
~63usd
stoic tangle
But I'm fine with that to pay to get free shipping cause keeb sites charge big for shipping

V4 would be notably better if you can get it

lean eagle
I want a numpad.
stoic tangle
Sorry forgot they don't line up
lean eagle
What is better about the v line?
stoic tangle
Or lose the numpad and you can get a macropad instead 🧠
lean eagle
I know literally nothing about this.
chrome raft
Nah that’s too expensive
V is more enthusiast oriented with better build quality and more “features”
K is wireless mainstream line that’s mid
Filled assembled V would be nice if you want the reds
V5
stoic tangle
Wish more companies would consider a left numpad so I dont lose mouse space
Then I'd be interested
lean eagle
It is wired, correct?
stoic tangle
Think so yeah
lean eagle
So, better build quality and a better platform for future customization.
Too bad it's sold out. I guess I'll set up a notification. The knob seems like a cool option.
untold orchid
Wish more companies would consider a left numpad so I dont lose mouse space

Pardon my noob, it is showing
Nah you're valid, 40% is a monstrosity to many veterans too lol
stoic tangle
Those 4 bottom right keys are a waste of space
Bruh thats like saying you don't need two shift keys
stoic tangle
But, my winkey, and yeah I can reprogram one of the four left to be win but then that leads back to other issue lol
Idk, sometimes I feel like people go too far for compactness, like get a bigger desk
stoic tangle
That's exactly the issue I'm saying lol, that's like sacrificing a shift key, you should have the mod options on both sides imo
Some things are classic for a reason
I can maybe see sacrificing one win key but both? Nah

Layers are like uhh
Changing your keyboard into a mode where it’s your own custom inputs
Be it stuff like Prt Screen, Volume up/down, zoom and stuff like that
I don’t think you’d have a board that can support layers so I would just say set a keybind to Prt Screen

the why you phrased it made it sound like a 50/50 of getting the product or losing all your money
when most of the time you get what you paid for
boreal rivet
maybe doesn't imply 50/50 though?
gloomy patrol
fr????
ofc
even geon knew he couldnt compete
so he left the rgb gaming market to the pros
stoic tangle
If you choose group buys from reputable companies they're similar to preorders or indiegogos. You order it, wait half a year or something it shows up
Most high end boards are group buys pretty sure
pastel drift

lmao its even worse if its a straight up company
think about it, would you give apple a interest free loan to maybe deliver airpods?
pastel drift
yes
boreal rivet
for the smaller buys its understandable, the whole point of group buys were for small batches of items that were cheaper when bought in relative bulk
but my point still stands
pastel drift
what you talking about?

you're giving the designers a interest free loan with no guarantee you'll be getting the product you paid for
no matter how reputable they are

stoic tangle
Yeah I don't buy anything from a new company, but at that point you're also saying that indiegogos are bad. Everyone knows that lol

My friend said the spc gear 630k is okay but it's nothing crazy
stoic tangle
Yeah like I said there not gonna be a great keyboard at that price, 100 is generally a good starting point for great custom boards
But better than fake mechs
glossy sandal
at what point does it become too many switches
Someone I know of have nearly 1.5k individual unique switches
stoic tangle
I’ve seen a couple of people like that in keyboard discords, they scare me lol
glossy sandal
it's 40 bucks right now, much better than what they called it for at the beginni...
They sell for like nothing used
they lose all their value because they’re shit boards 
proper cobalt
They sell for like nothing used
In my country just 12 dollars less
stoic tangle
Maybe less of a market there but still, shows their true worth. If you just want it you can do it, it’s just my advice is all

200 moneys

Poor shamed again lol. I'm fine with 300 total including switches and caps but not the kit, that's a hard line
There is nothing that would reasonably justify going past that for me

keyboard enthusiasts trying to find a layout with the least amount of keys that’s still usable
lean eagle
Somebody tell me I can live with a 75% keyboard.
I just feel like I will miss having a num pad
royal patrol
if you regularly use a numpad then make a full size board man
don’t drop size just because other people do
lean eagle
It isn't that. I do like the idea of a more compact footprint. They also look nice.
I'm not constantly using the numpad....I just like using it when I need numbers.
idk.
100% keyboards are huge.
lean eagle
Yeah, I'm looking at the keychron v5 because I do like the 1800 size. It is oos, unfortunately.
At least the one with the knob and red switches.
I do have feelings about the small 0 on the 96%
lean eagle
Why are south facing leds a thing?
lean eagle
So it is for people who want the underglow but not the shine through?
glossy sandal
Sure?
I find it really useful because I don’t use leds or rgb
And no issues with cherry profile interference
I don’t care for them
I’ve got decent lighting 
I like indicator windowed keys but other than that
I don’t really care for them
remote heart
where should i look for keycaps?
stoic tangle
They had a great bogo deal for BFCM, maybe they'll be cheaper second hand now
Novelkeys too, good sets. If you just want cheapest good sets AliExpress imo but it's a long wait
glacial mural
i have a weird issue i wonder if anyone has experianced similar. My keyboard(s) had what I thought was a dodgy @key so I purchased a new hot swappable keyboard and I have the same issue, even if I swap the switches. The only way the key is press is to push and hold it, this goes for both keyboards. Any one have any ideas what could be causing this? I’ve also tried a new usbc just in case
glossy sandal
What key
glacial mural

glossy sandal
Can you send a picture of the board
glacial mural
i can but have the same issue on two completely different boards
glossy sandal
Yeah I just literally forgot the layout in which @ is on the board 💀

glossy sandal
It sounds like more of a computer issue and not a keyboard issue

It sounds like more of a computer issue and not a keyboard issue
yea i agree
glossy sandal
I would check drivers

I would check drivers
yea i suppose never checked keyboard drivers before ill try and look into that now
cerulean path
hey is it a good idea to buy a new keyboard so you can replace your currently broken one, not cosmetically, but input wise, aswell as take the keycaps from the broken keyboard and put them on the new keyboard?
glossy sandal
It’s totally fine to salvage keycaps
cerulean path
It’s totally fine to salvage keycaps
aight thx

Make sure they’re the same layout and actually compatible

Oh yeah
I’m pretty sure they have silicone weights in KeyChron
Quick google says this so I’m unsure
(This image includes weight of switches and keycaps) ^

v1 feels oddly heavy for a barebones
might just be you’re used to really cheap stuff

They have silicone pads but no weights

It doesn’t

It’s just heavy because it’s a solid piece of aluminum

Possibly isn’t there a polycarbonate or plastic casing version I can’t remember?

No?
The aim of Q series is a lineup of aluminum gasket mounted boards in like every form factor

What do you mean you can change the keys?
There isn't a 85%, do you mean TKL, or 75%?

yea I think TKL is considered an 80%

as far as i know, i have used rubber dome/membrane keyboards for as long as i've be using computers. could someone explain to me why mechanical keyboards are better than rubber dome/membrane ones?
glossy sandal
You can buy it elsewhere
glossy sandal
as far as i know, i have used rubber dome/membrane keyboards for as long as i've...
They aren’t, in terms of inherent “better” there is no best
It’s just more customization and I guess more feedback
Also a lot more premium
They all do the same thing, I guess it’s more of a quality of life thing
void phoenix
ok, so it's all about personal preference. thanks
glossy sandal
I need a good site
Keebsforall, Cannonkeys, Novelkeys, KirballsKeys

Are they all out of the u.s

That’s why I listed them

What's the difference between the gateron milky yellows and the pro linears
twilit flare
There's gateron milky yellows and then there's a pro linear version of that same switch, is what I meant.
glossy sandal
Difference between the ones you gave me are that milky ones don’t have entirely “milky” housing, just the top, and pros are prelubed
twilit flare
Damn no pros then
twilit flare
Difference between the ones you gave me are that milky ones don’t have entirely ...
So they're the same switch
Just one is pre-lube that's it
glossy sandal
The KS-3 is prelubed and has all milky housing
If you’re gonna hand lube just get the dry ones
They’ll feel just as smooth (probably smoother)
