[open crow]

And the keybaord of the month has started

Unfortunately

U have to buy a new keyboard every month in order to compete since u cant use the same keybaord twice in a row

[twilit flare]

wtf

RWBY

[glossy sandal]

What’s wrong?

[twilit flare]

nothing..

[glossy sandal]

[pastel drift]

im having second thoughts on spending 300 dollars for my first build

do you have something cheaper gas?

[royal patrol]

you can go way cheaper

[pastel drift]

like wot

[boreal rivet]

ciy67

or you could buy that unfinished spring clone

[twilit flare]

whats that

are there any other good typing layouts other than oem and cherry

oem is too big

[boreal rivet]

https://detail.tmall.com/item_o.htm?id=673023459805&sku_properties=211004089:20287353541

[placid finch]

Anyone here knows what other switches can fit in a outemu hotswappable board?

[boreal rivet]

any if you shave off the pins abit

[twilit flare]

spends 1k+ on pc: STILL CANT USE BLUETOOTH

my fucking god

[stoic tangle]

Well there's the gas67, best kit on a budget if you're okay with the layout

[twilit flare]

they made a keyboard after gas wow

hes that famous

[boreal rivet]

buy it from taobao if possible

[twilit flare]

thats such an L bro computers just dont come with bluetooth

[boreal rivet]

western resellers are charging like a 20 dollar premium

[twilit flare]

but a fuckin $50 chromebook does

[boreal rivet]

just buy a wifi card

a good one is like 20 bucks

[twilit flare]

20 bucks for bluetooth bro are u fr

[boreal rivet]

im not poor and 20 bucks seems reasonable for the latest wifi and bluetooth standards

[twilit flare]

starts the sentence with "im not poor"

[boreal rivet]

yeah and

[twilit flare]

what was the point of including that lol

of course it seemsreasonable to you if youre not poor

[boreal rivet]

mhm so are you implying you are

if you can spend 300 on a keyboard why not 20 on a wifi card

[twilit flare]

you thinking i implied that is up to you

ur confusing me with phil

i didnt spend 300 on a keyboard

[stoic tangle]

When a chromebook, the cheapest laptop in history has it, I can see why it can be weird lol

[boreal rivet]

oh yeah oops mb

[twilit flare]

RIGHT

thank you

[stoic tangle]

BUT lol

[boreal rivet]

economies of scale

[stoic tangle]

It does make sense

[twilit flare]

all gpus should have bluetooth or some shit

modern gpus

[boreal rivet]

they get bulk pricing on parts

[stoic tangle]

Why the gpus?

[twilit flare]

idfk the motherboard i mean

all modern motherboards whatever bluetooth is connected to

[boreal rivet]

some do

[twilit flare]

soe

some

[stoic tangle]

Ah, some do but that's the thing, it adds costs some don't want and tends to be worse than an added bluetooth dongle

Or a wifi card

[boreal rivet]

choice is good no?

sometimes people dont want to pay more for something they wont use

[stoic tangle]

Yeah so you can buy the ones that have it

[twilit flare]

but in this case i want to pay more for something i will use

[stoic tangle]

Then buy the ones that come with it

[boreal rivet]

then buy a mobo that has the hardware built in

[stoic tangle]

That's called choices lol

[boreal rivet]

i dont see whats the problem here

[twilit flare]

well i didnt i thought it just came with it

i didnt know adding bluetooth is too much for a $100 motherboard

[boreal rivet]

then return and buy one that does?

[stoic tangle]

I mean that's not their fault, they offer the info and different skews with different features

[stoic tangle]

That's as cheap as a motherboard gets really so yeah

[twilit flare]

too late to return it guess ill just pick up 20 bucks off the subway

[boreal rivet]

ignorance is bliss 🤷

[twilit flare]

🤷🏽‍♂️

[stoic tangle]

But I would just add a bluetooth dongle regardless it would work better

[twilit flare]

i mean i wasnt even the onewho bought the motherboard u cant blame me

didnt know shit about computers beforehand

[stoic tangle]

You don't want motherboard wifi/bluetooth cause it's trapped in a case that can make the signal weaker, an external dongle doesnt have to deal with that

[boreal rivet]

uhhh

[twilit flare]

what

[boreal rivet]

those motherboards come with antennas

i hope you know that

[twilit flare]

which motherboards

[stoic tangle]

Ah right but still, I tend to have the back of mine facing a wall

[unkempt dome]

And some have antenna extenders

[stoic tangle]

I have not seen that

[twilit flare]

my brother had them idk if it'll work on any gpu

[normal fiber]

Finished building my first keyboard

[unkempt dome]

X570 tuf

[twilit flare]

LETS GO GAMING

[boreal rivet]

the asus ones seem to come with detached antennas

[stoic tangle]

My point is a dongle will be better anyways, you're not out of luck

[boreal rivet]

my strix itx one has it as well

[chrome raft]

basically every mobo with wifi has external antenna ports

[stoic tangle]

You can attach it to an extension cable and put it closer to your devices

[boreal rivet]

we're talking about detached antennas

no shit every mobo has external antenna ports

[normal fiber]

Gotta thank @chrome raft for suggesting milky yellows this shit rocks

[chrome raft]

tf you mean detached antennas

[stoic tangle]

Hell yeahhhh

[chrome raft]

wireless antenna 💀

[boreal rivet]

they ones with a wire

i know its not the right name

[chrome raft]

that is still an antenna

[boreal rivet]

but cant think of the term right now

[chrome raft]

an antenna is quite literally just a wire

[stoic tangle]

I feel like we've lost sight of the point lol

[boreal rivet]

These

regular antennas just screw directly onto the coax jack

[stoic tangle]

One of us, One of us

[twilit flare]

damn yall all got gateron yellows?

[royal patrol]

i have akko vintage whites

but im upgrading to gateron oil kings

[twilit flare]

damn no usb port in the box either

[pastel drift]

Woah 46 moneys?

You weren’t kidding

Cheaper than jevs keyboard

[chrome raft]

I have durock koalas

[glossy sandal]

Akko, outemu, ktt, gazzew

Idk any more

[chrome raft]

literally anything that's not choc or alps

[glossy sandal]

you do know what outemu sockets are right?

They’re thinner than kailh sockets

[glossy sandal]

this rings true for kailh sockets, not outemu

If you try to put thicker pins in an outemu socket you’ll bend them

[chrome raft]

oh didn't know that oops

[glossy sandal]

All good

[glossy sandal]

Ah yeah 300$ really is steep for a beginner

[pastel drift]

plspls

[glossy sandal]

qk75 was a suggestion but I can see the hesitation

gas67 is good yeah, I’ve built one for a friend

Also worth checking out keychron v series

[pastel drift]

are the stabs good?

[glossy sandal]

they need some work

[twilit flare]

the stabs 🤤

[glossy sandal]

The ones on the gas

but with that price I don’t see any issues with not affording lube

You can buy 3ml and use it for the entire board

[pastel drift]

what if ii get other stabs

[glossy sandal]

if you buy expensive they’d cost more than the board

Exaggerating but not really

it’s worth just clipping, tuning and lubing stabs

[pastel drift]

bet

[glossy sandal]

Save 16$

[twilit flare]

clipping looks really hard

[pastel drift]

that means i can afford no clone keycaps

[glossy sandal]

You just make the stab housing flat

[pastel drift]

ezzzz

[glossy sandal]

I feel like the board should be the biggest priority

How much are you looking to spend?

[glossy sandal]

Original Xbox 1, respect

[pastel drift]

i have no idea

[chrome raft]

mans rocking the g502

[twilit flare]

ezzzz

[glossy sandal]

What are you comfortable with spending?

[pastel drift]

mayeb 200

[twilit flare]

considering this man's case alone was like $300

[glossy sandal]

?

Qk75 can’t be over 200$

[glossy sandal]

You like 65% right?

[twilit flare]

pls dont get 65

[pastel drift]

it's 180 and with the rest of the stiff i have to buy it's going to be over

[glossy sandal]

It is entirely preference mane

[glossy sandal]

He said the case only

[pastel drift]

?

[twilit flare]

im not saying it isnt

im not saying 65 is bad

[glossy sandal]

I don’t really like 65

I like 65% XT though

[twilit flare]

why

wtf

xt?

[glossy sandal]

Rama Zenith

[twilit flare]

thats looks really weird

[chrome raft]

i'm so confused

[twilit flare]

me too man

[glossy sandal]

It’s just layout

What’s there not to get

[twilit flare]

what rama zenith means

[glossy sandal]

This

This is a Rama zenith

[twilit flare]

oh

[glossy sandal]

A board which uses 65% XT layout

[glossy sandal]

I don’t like the short shift

[twilit flare]

not short for me

[glossy sandal]

and the nav key column

[twilit flare]

oh lmao

didnt notice

[placid finch]

Thanks mate

[glossy sandal]

Those are switch brands btw

Not individual switches

[pastel drift]

back

hey gas, will it still make it sound creamy?

[glossy sandal]

[pastel drift]

or is it clacky?

idk

[glossy sandal]

all of these words mean nothing

[pastel drift]

dangh\

[glossy sandal]

All I know is that if you want clacky just leave your board stock

it’ll most likely sound “clacky”

Whatever that means

[pastel drift]

i want it good sound

[glossy sandal]

Have you not taken notes these past few

Weeks now

[pastel drift]

nah

[glossy sandal]

sound is entirely preference

[pastel drift]

dang it

[forest pebble]

Fr4 or brass plate or cf or SS or Copper, this are the plates i would try to use for that

Then use some MX switches

Or some long poles are nice, but depends

No PE foam on the pcb

I think you could do something with tape mod but depends on boards

[glossy sandal]

I eat dirt

[forest pebble]

Also good clackiness require good board design

Hollowness isn't necessarily a problem, has to be done right

[twilit flare]

some it hurts to play on this keyboard

i hope the gateron yellows dont mess up this beautiful sound

if it can even get better than this

[boreal rivet]

Good board design like?

[amber tartan]

every kbdfan board

:D

[forest pebble]

Matrixlab (8xv), geon boards and you have quite some in the wild

[boreal rivet]

And what’s so great about the design of those boards?

[manic valve]

how do you control your stuff on a 60% keyboard?

usually there aree f1,f2,f3, etc, to control brightness, volume, and other stuff

but how does it work for 60 and 65 percent keyboards?

[boreal rivet]

Hotkeys

[manic valve]

what are hot keys

[boreal rivet]

F keys are usually fn+number

[manic valve]

on the v2 for example it has fn1 and fn2

what do they do

[amber tartan]

layers and stuff

[fading iris]

Wtf

Anyone know if the GK75 is good?

https://epomaker.com/products/skyloong-gk75?variant=40280394530889

[glossy sandal]

Nah

Only takes optical switches, mid build quality, north facing switches, etc etc

Also wording it as a “gasket-like” mount is really off putting

[fading iris]

WAIT OPTICAL?💀

Mf i Never used an optical switch them shits sound like they are centuries old 💀

[chilly perch]

north facing superior

[glossy sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/preference-glarses-mx-brown-cherry-mx-brown-keyboard-gif-21044520

Though if you don’t care about rgb south facing better

[chilly perch]

if you want south facing there shouldnt be LEDs period

[glossy sandal]

Why?

[stoic tangle]

I wouldn't go that far

[fading iris]

What does north facing switches mean ?

[glossy sandal]

The switches are facing north

[fading iris]

I think my Keeb is north facing I’m not sure

[glossy sandal]

Or well, the sockets that the switches are in

[fading iris]

Lmao obviously but like why is that a problem.

Is south better?

[glossy sandal]

north facing has some clearance issues with cherry profile keycaps

[fading iris]

oh

Good to know

[glossy sandal]

Basically the top of the switch housing rubs against the keycaps walls and doesn’t allow it to bottom out

[glossy sandal]

Hey uh.

What’s going on with this?

[fading iris]

What?

[fading iris]

I don’t See the problem?

I’m confused

[glossy sandal]

The space between them should be similar to the alphas

[fading iris]

Idk

[glossy sandal]

Basically nothing

[wooden ember]

needs to be using 1.25u keys, not 1u keys

[glossy sandal]

Yeah 4 1.25u keys

[fading iris]

Tbh I’ve got no idea why

Is it my keycaps

Or the actual keyboard

[glossy sandal]

Did your keycaps come with 4 1.25 u keys?

[glossy sandal]

Caps

[pastel drift]

ello

[glossy sandal]

This is what you’re looking for

Top one

[pastel drift]

fr

[fading iris]

They’re just cheap ass keycaps from Amazon it was my first board so I didn’t know what I was after

For the keys to be tightly packed?

[glossy sandal]

Yeah

They should be tightly packed

[fading iris]

I’ll check I when I get home

[glossy sandal]

[fading iris]

The keycaps came in this box with multiple trays there might be some longer ones in there

[glossy sandal]

There should be

[normal fiber]

anyone know a way to sync keyboard and mouse rgb?

openrgb doesnt recognize keychron

[pastel drift]

Try rgb signal

[normal fiber]

also doesnt recognize keychron

[pastel drift]

[glossy sandal]

[fading iris]

Yep

From the Amazon listing ^

Yes im Bri’ish M8
How could ye tell?

[glossy sandal]

Fixed, figure out that left win key though

[glossy sandal]

Honestly it seems like a gimmick board

A gimmick I’m kind of liking but still a gimmick

[fading iris]

I’ve been trying so long I can’t find any key that fits

Unless I use a different key as a substitute

[glossy sandal]

They use OEM iirc

[glossy sandal]

You can use Code key

There just keycaps lol

they won’t change anything if you use the wrong one for a certain place

it’ll look funny but they’ll still do the same thing

[fading iris]

You just read my damn mind

I literally just realised the code key would work

Les goo it looks way cleaner now

[glossy sandal]

We use code there

[fading iris]

It even matches the same height like I wanted it to

😌

I am at Peace

Should I lube my glorious pandas or buy some new switches and lube those instead ?

[glossy sandal]

Totally should lube

Cheapest switches I can think of are like 18$

Lube is like 6$

Break a switches pins? Nah it’s fine you’ve got like 10 extras probably

Break a graphics card? How many extras of those do you have 💀

[glossy sandal]

What if I bend the pins back

[fading iris]

They’ll either fully snap off and you’ll let a sigh out as you grab another switch or it’ll work

[glossy sandal]

No

The ones on the gpu

Oh god

[glossy sandal]

current dream board is still probably an ogr or a zenith

[fading iris]

Tbh all my dream board is , is just a 75% with a Metal Case 💀

[glossy sandal]

[gloomy patrol]

I remember someone in here saying their dream board was a keychron with milky yellows

[glossy sandal]

In here?

[gloomy patrol]

But man’s helped me pick a ssd

[fading iris]

Zenith looks cool

[gloomy patrol]

Hm you might like qk75 since it’s at a decent price

[gloomy patrol]

Ogr so fucking based

[glossy sandal]

Honestly

[fading iris]

Dis guy?

[gloomy patrol]

Tbh one of my top 3 boards but did they have to make it a 65

[fading iris]

Naw bro a friend told me I should buy a keychron Q10

[pastel drift]

lol

[glossy sandal]

Decent

I really like the layout of the Q10

[fading iris]

I don’t wanna get used to that layout thooo

It does look cool

[open crow]

I never tried a ergo board, idk if ill get used to one or like it

[fading iris]

It looks cool but would take a lot gettin used to

[glossy sandal]

Oh yeah def will mess you up as soon as you get back to a standard board

[fading iris]

Ngl

The keyboards chat is the most chill chat

[gloomy patrol]

not ergo tbh

[pastel drift]

[fading iris]

Looks pretty cool

[pastel drift]

pro

[glossy sandal]

Mid

[pastel drift]

[stoic tangle]

Nah I got it it's great

There other great boards at the price but if you want it you won't regret

[pastel drift]

ill keep looking

[glossy sandal]

This one is decent

https://mechkeys.com/products/monsgeek-m1-aluminium-gasket-keyboard-kit?variant=43778191655135

[pastel drift]

hot tbh

i still don't know what switches to get

my mind is stuck on the ink blacks

[stoic tangle]

I mean they're great, kinda just have to take a guess for your first switches to find your preference

[pastel drift]

qk75

[glossy sandal]

More specific please

[glossy sandal]

👽

A keyboard won’t make you any better

But if that’s all you care about buy a wooting or something

[scarlet oyster]

tf

[glossy sandal]

Fast what?

[pastel drift]

ello

gas more like pro

[glossy sandal]

Hiya

[pastel drift]

predictable gas using that emoji

[glossy sandal]

whar

I don’t know how else to express myself

[pastel drift]

it's ok

you're top 3 pros

@twilit flare

[twilit flare]

huh

[glossy sandal]

Hi nossta

[stoic tangle]

Fast is not a thing in keyboards, besides bluetooth lag

[glossy sandal]

Ahem, actually ☝️

[stoic tangle]

I mean, not to any important extent

[glossy sandal]

yeah true

[velvet trail]

I spilled some coffee on my keyboard. How should I dry it out?

[glossy sandal]

put it upside down and let it dry (preferably in indirect sunlight), take it apart when it’s dry and wipe with ipa

[idle sinew]

I think I might go with the MX Keys again. No it's not mechanical, but I've used it before and I loved it.

I kinda miss it.

Plus I might get an MX Master again as well

[glossy sandal]

[fading iris]

Gas practically owns this chat gas straight up lives here

Natural habitat of a wild gas

[frank dome]

keyboard brand named
rexus

REXUS
R E K S U S

[fading iris]

What are your guys thoughts on the singakbd Kohaku

$550

[frank dome]

holee krap
the keycap height looks perfect for a laptop user that i am

its ascending indeed but darn it

i think those edges wont catch my fingers

[amber tartan]

meh

every other high end 60%

[forest pebble]

Good singakb 65% board

The back is sick

With the koi fish

It has a nice clackyness

Sounds good imo

[bleak anchor]

is tribosis 3204 good for tactiles?

[unkempt dome]

yes it's good for tactile but go lightly.
if you want a bit thinner lube then 3203

[strong seal]

Is the RK68 wireless a good keyboard?

I want to go wireless but I don’t wanna go over $60. I currently have an RK60 but I feel it’s too little keys for what I need

There’s also the RK84

[unkempt dome]

it's about the same as the rk60, if you like it then you'll most likely like the rk68

You could check keychron offering, maybe they have something in your price range

[glossy sandal]

Dirt..

[runic plover]

what are some good stabs for the gmmk pro

[glossy sandal]

TX

[runic plover]

which one

like the type and size

[glossy sandal]

6.25u, 1.6mm thickness

Color is up to you

[runic plover]

thanks

[royal patrol]

ck68 arrives tuesday 👹

supposedly anyway, it hasn’t even shipped yet

[glossy sandal]

[twilit flare]

someone find me some good rgb xda keycaps

wait what if they dont even fit my keyboard

[glossy sandal]

K6, right?

[glossy sandal]

bro return that shit

[amber tartan]

(ETA Early December)

[glossy sandal]

what board

[urban panther]

welp

winkey stopped working on my keychron

hopefully its not the pcb

its the akko keyswitch. second one to fail

[gloomy patrol]

Oh

[glossy sandal]

try twisting the pin on the akko switch a lil

they're smaller pins so maybe it's not making contact fully

[urban panther]

maybe

I found a working one from my spares so I just swapped it

[urban panther]

i'll just buy gateron or something in the future

[glossy sandal]

akkos are cool

[urban panther]

maybe
but I also need my keyboard to be working when I sit down at it

and the akkos have caused me more headaches than the cost savings are worth, in the long run

I have some box jade sitting unused, so perhaps I'll switch swap later today

[twilit flare]

Then I'll have to wait another week lol

[glossy sandal]

worth

save up in the meantime for a v series board or something lamo

[twilit flare]

Why am I saving for another keyboard I just bought this one 😭

What keyboard from V series anyways

[glossy sandal]

any you want

[twilit flare]

Well when I mod my keyboard I'll see

If I'll keep it or not

I mean if I'll buy another one or not

Also can you recommend any RGB xda's

[glossy sandal]

nah

[twilit flare]

Thanks though

[latent blaze]

Are you deadset on xda? or do you just need Lp

https://en.xvxchannel.com/products/xvx-skyline-137-key-low-profile-double-shot-keycap-set-8-colors these are nice and similar to dsa and xda

[glossy sandal]

cherry profile interference things

[latent blaze]

tf u mean

[glossy sandal]

Can’t use cherry

[latent blaze]

its xda and dsa not cherry

[glossy sandal]

looking for other profiles

[latent blaze]

ight, why did they jump to xda of all things lol

[glossy sandal]

beats me

say, beanz you do assembly?

[latent blaze]

of keyboards?

[glossy sandal]

yeah

[latent blaze]

yup

[glossy sandal]

do you solder

[latent blaze]

yup

[glossy sandal]

any exceptions or nah

[open crow]

[latent blaze]

not really no, dunno what you mean tho

[glossy sandal]

some build services don’t do thru hole

[glossy sandal]

[latent blaze]

thats wack, i mostly do thru hole so

[open crow]

What u taalkong abt

[glossy sandal]

dirt and flowers

I love flowers

[latent blaze]

building a through hole lily58 rn actually

[open crow]

And i love dirt

[twilit flare]

Hmmm low profile

[twilit flare]

Because it's smaller than oem

Anything else is too small

[latent blaze]

xda is basically as small as you go, same size as dsa just different angles

[twilit flare]

Are you sure

It didn't look the smallest

[stoic tangle]

Besides low profile switches and keycaps it's basically as small as you can go

[twilit flare]

Bruhh

So I'm stuck with oem

[stoic tangle]

DSA slightly smaller

[twilit flare]

You said xda is the smallest wtf

[stoic tangle]

The rest are fringe cases you're not gonna have luck finding

I said basically as small

[open crow]

Dsa>

[inner turtle]

I cant seem to find keycaps for a logitech g pro x and clue on where i could find some

[twilit flare]

Misleading

[open crow]

Is it weird i dislike cherry on most keebs?

[stoic tangle]

Bruh how, I literally clarified, and it's a tiny difference

[twilit flare]

Bro

Might try g20 I like the shape of those

Or dsa

[stoic tangle]

There's not many g20 sets out there, when I looked i only found one still being sold, but you might have more luck with dsa

[twilit flare]

Even dsa looks small damn

[glossy sandal]

You won’t find many

Uses proprietary domes

Ah wait

Uses standard mx stems nvm nvm

[inner turtle]

it uses a non-standard bottom row apparently keycaps for the g910 orion work but i cant seem to find any sets

[glossy sandal]

It uses 6.5u right?

For the spacebar*

5.75

Logitech you silly company

I would suggest buying an artisan 5.75u spacebar and using whatever keycaps you like for everything else

That spacebar is stupid as hell

Ah Nevermind even that’s not a viable option, Logitech uses weird switch placement for caps lock so you’d have mismatching keys

so uh, you’re sol

[inner turtle]

fuck you logitech

[glossy sandal]

yeah… :/

They do sell replacement sets if you’re just looking for caps though

[blissful dragon]

how dare you

(late reply yes)

[inland perch]

literal days later

[blissful dragon]

i was thinking of replying when i saw it and said nevermind, then now i said eh why not

[blissful dragon]

A

[glossy sandal]

custom keyboards are so dumb

who would spend more than 20$ on something I can do with my phone?? It’s so useless and such a waste of money

[stoic tangle]

True, just use voice to text for gaming

[glossy sandal]

so true

[spare iris]

As someone with absolutely no experience with mechanical keyboards, where would I begin with looking into mechanical keyboards?

[glossy sandal]

I think you should base what you’re looking for on your past experiences, size, sound, mechanisms, etc etc, also worth checking this out if you really need to learn from scratch

https://www.keyboard.university

[spare iris]

Thanks, I'll look into that.

[flint ivy]

[gloomy patrol]

mhm

[flint ivy]

[gloomy patrol]

lotta people come in with 0 knowleage of how much money you might need for good shit

hello Akko Acolyte

His opinions are too silly

[twilit flare]

I forgot to record a typing test before I left the house so rip

[twilit flare]

too abstract

[glossy sandal]

[twilit flare]

I wonder if just playing a time lapse of me building my keyboard will get me a good grade in CS 🤔

[glossy sandal]

Probably not

[stoic tangle]

Might get your banned lol

[glossy sandal]

How do you get banned from class

shit, get me banned bruh

[stoic tangle]

I've been trying for years

[twilit flare]

Why would that get me banned lol

RIP

I knew I shoulda done more research whyyyy

[glossy sandal]

Weak

Milky yellows are fine for gaming

I played osu with them

[twilit flare]

Unless I buy 70 something new springs for each switch

[twilit flare]

Dope

You can play osu on any keyboard tbh

[glossy sandal]

You can say the same thing about any game

[twilit flare]

You press 1 key for osu

Fps games you gotta actually have comfortable switches

[glossy sandal]

☝️

Actually

[twilit flare]

😟

[glossy sandal]

It matters if you’re comfortable aswell because you need to be able to press keys accurately

In which case yellows are pretty inoffensive weighted switches, which shouldn’t be hard to get used to

[twilit flare]

I mean they are cheap for me anyways I can always upgrade in the Future

[glossy sandal]

[twilit flare]

Better than my cynosa I hope

[glossy sandal]

Probably

[twilit flare]

If I'm not comfortable with my keyboard by the time this is done that was a complete waste

But at least I learned stuff

[glossy sandal]

Not by a ton because they’re still both tray mount boards

[twilit flare]

Wdym tray mount

[glossy sandal]

but it’s baby steps

Most gamer boards are integrated mount or tray mount

[twilit flare]

Oh

[glossy sandal]

It’ll be fine though

Sure will be an improvement over razer mecha-membrane switches

Those suck

Hard

[twilit flare]

Only good thing is rgb

And durability

Well that is pretty good

[glossy sandal]

Durability?

[twilit flare]

I mean, let's just say I've erm got UPSET a few times on the keyboard

[glossy sandal]

get good

[twilit flare]

🙁

But other than one broken keyboard stand it's pretty good

[forest pebble]

Top mount best mount

[open crow]

Gasket is the best?

[open crow]

Ill destroy u

Its already done

You just dont feel it yet

[glossy sandal]

Top mount best mount

I love top

[open crow]

No

Topmoujt is good

But gasket>

[glossy sandal]

I’m gonna go to your server and tell everyone top mount is the best

[forest pebble]

Gasket mount just not as good if you want to exploit the sound of your case

Sandwich mount does very well in that regard but is very stiff

u wouldnt

QK75 gb

[stoic tangle]

Might wait for the new zoom75 actually

[glossy sandal]

Jris,Zoom,Qk competing like brothers bro 😭😭😭

Jris probably best buy ngl

[stoic tangle]

Jris75? Thought that but with the dumb name and backplate hard to go for. And the other two do some things better imo

[glossy sandal]

Jris65 beats out both qk and zoom 65s

[stoic tangle]

I'll wait for final details on jris75 and zoom75 first. Qk will probably have another run anyways
