[glossy sandal]

lmk

[twilit flare]

Probably just gonna be an apex pro or Corsair

Depends how this keyboard turns out

HURRY UP

[stoic tangle]

Plz no

[twilit flare]

Lol

Wooting

Best keyboard, really good ngl

[boreal rivet]

nah

[stoic tangle]

It's a fine board

Decisions can happen when the money comes

[twilit flare]

Yeah

[glossy sandal]

nah

[twilit flare]

😡

[glossy sandal]

Sorry I felt like disagreeing

[twilit flare]

Obamus moment

[remote marsh]

are there any good 100%'s under like 70

[stoic tangle]

Custom or prebuilt?

[twilit flare]

My tools came for my keyboard

Ggs

[glossy sandal]

[twilit flare]

I'm so scared to lube

Pleaseeee 🥺

[glossy sandal]

You’ll do great

Less is more

[amber tartan]

nah just lube

as long as its not like overflowing with lube its fine

[twilit flare]

I should only dip the brush like once per switch right

[amber tartan]

yes

[twilit flare]

Okay

[amber tartan]

you really only have to worry about evenness

[twilit flare]

Yeah

Spreading the lube evenly across 70 switches

[glossy sandal]

You’ll do great

[pastel drift]

fr

[glossy sandal]

You too Phil

what board did you go for btw

[twilit flare]

The most expensive one

[mint swan]

if i take all my keycaps off whats the best solution for cleaning them

[open crow]

Acetone

[ionic briar]

i just use very mild soap and a brush

[amber tartan]

you can also use of em jelly cleaning things

though they had been stuck in some switches before

[fading iris]

[sand scarab]

Playdoh

Or an air can

Rubbing alcohol might be too abrasive

[boreal rivet]

alcohol isnt corrosive

most people who are really into the hobby usually do ultrasonic with dental tablets or just alcohol

you could also just dump them in water and wipe them down piece by piece

[twilit flare]

That's more fun

[stoic tangle]

No alcohol is definitely too abrasive for keycaps, just water

If you need to clean the PCB for whatever reason though, yeah alcohol

[twilit flare]

Another mxidn L

[forest pebble]

Water and soap

Plus as you know, shine is more than grease over keycaps, once you cleaned a shining keycaps, if it still has some shine it's also the plastic that got polished with your finger oils/chemicals

[boreal rivet]

How is alcohol abrasive?

Do you even know what abrasive means?

[royal patrol]

@glossy sandal thoughts on the ymd-96?

[glossy sandal]

It’s 5 am dude

[royal patrol]

rise and shine

[glossy sandal]

Bro are you serious

[glossy sandal]

Pretty cheap, not the best build quality

If you’re building another board soon just get something a bit better

[royal patrol]

i was thinking of doing one for my father

[glossy sandal]

Ah

I mean

Why not a V6

[royal patrol]

you’re gonna have to be more specific i don’t keep up with keebs

[glossy sandal]

Keychron

V6

[royal patrol]

i just thought the wooden version was pretty

https://ymdkey.com/collections/75-84-96-keyboard-diy/products/ymdk-hot-swap-fully-programmable-96-wooden-case-aluminum-plate-pcb-stabilizers-support-ansi-iso-diy-kit

[glossy sandal]

Or V5, up to you

[glossy sandal]

I mean yeah it looks decent

I don’t delve much into wood cases so I can’t really tell you much

[royal patrol]

the v6 looks nice for its price

it also looks absolutely monstrous in size though

[stoic tangle]

Corrosive, damaging, however you want to say it lol. Its a good cleaner because it's so good at degrading a lot of things. Obviously glass and PCBs won't get damaged but keycaps could

[boreal rivet]

Right I phrased that wrongly

It also takes 5 seconds to google the answer instead of trying to die on this hill

[stoic tangle]

I, are you telling me that, cause your image shows its better to use soapy water

[boreal rivet]

so? Regardless, your point is wrong

[twilit flare]

Gas break them up, please!!!

[glossy sandal]

What’s there to break up

It’s diffused already

I clean my stuff with alcohol

[twilit flare]

Bomb has been diffused

Alcoholic

[glossy sandal]

Not my keycaps though, I just let them in a soap bath

[twilit flare]

Oooh

I wonder if I can do that with Razer without breaking the keycaps

[glossy sandal]

Probably not(?)

[twilit flare]

I mean I pulled off my spacebar but it has stabs idk

My package is Still in cali

Bel air

@pastel drift why is it at a house 😭 bro who is this random ass guy with my package

[royal patrol]

that’s me delivering your package actually

[glossy sandal]

(He nibbled your switch leaf so they don’t work anymore)

[twilit flare]

😭

[pastel drift]

Fr

[twilit flare]

Nah but fr since when do delivery drivers do that

The package should at least be in a warehouse

I probably got scammed

[chrome raft]

good vision👌

[glossy sandal]

wit

Wit

Wht

[twilit flare]

???

1 more class

[chrome raft]

Bruh is it because of my English or it just doesn't make any sense

[twilit flare]

2nd one?

[chrome raft]

Don't expect me to get that

[twilit flare]

What do you mean good vision

[chrome raft]

Oh

I mean you understood.. just forget about it my English sucks

I can't explain it bruh 🤦

[twilit flare]

I'm sorry bro

[wheat pine]

is the apex pro mini good?

[late frost]

Got one

[sly crane]

How is the K617 Fizz

[royal patrol]

@glossy sandal i bought a keychron q5 on a discount for the build for my father

gonna throw some oil kings in it as well because theyre so nice

[glossy sandal]

[royal patrol]

got a black q5 with no knob for $150

[solid garden]

So I just spilled a drink on my Evga z15 if it doesnt recover Id like to find something at a decent price (not a keyboard enthusiast or anything). z15 is around 45 on amazon and Its not aweful just has occasional disconnection issues. Just want something decent with speed switches and white/clean aesthetic if possible and wont break the bank or anything.

Using a tkl I got for $10 as a backup since none of the switches on my evga are responsive besides the bottom left (ctrl windows and alt. Not even space)

[sly crane]

@chrome raft Hey! What is your op on Reddragon K617 Fizz?

[chrome raft]

I don't like 60% keyboards

also gateron reds aren't the best

[sly crane]

I mean we can do some modding

What switches do you recommend

[chrome raft]

gateron milky yellows

[stoic tangle]

Based opinions

[chrome raft]

Thanks?

[glossy sandal]

👽

Gateron yellows and gateron reds are the same

Only difference being spring weight

[glossy sandal]

E-waste board, solid(?) if it’s all you can afford

Pretty standard outemu linears which aren’t the best, and soldered so you couldn’t change them out if you wanted to

Gamer font thin abs keycaps that sound like trash

Side usb c port which is really cringe

[chrome raft]

I meant to say milky yellow pros

I’ve been all over the place lately

[gloomy patrol]

Get jwicks

Jwicks are love

[glossy sandal]

Hi astruh

[gloomy patrol]

Jwicks are life

[gloomy patrol]

Arc is getting a jan run

With more quantity

[glossy sandal]

Oh shit

Jan?

[gloomy patrol]

Mhm

[glossy sandal]

Bruh when is January 💀

I forgot

[gloomy patrol]

Next month

[glossy sandal]

Isn’t that the first month

Oh

Yeye

[gloomy patrol]

Might hop on Jan

[glossy sandal]

I won’t be getting a new board any time soon

[gloomy patrol]

Icic

They’ll still be doing runs for a while

[glossy sandal]

And if it is I can totally see myself buying the model m ssk

[gloomy patrol]

That’s the vortex one right?

What’s the mount like

ARCANA DESKMAT J CAME IN

HYPED AS FUCK

[glossy sandal]

Bruh

[stoic tangle]

Isn't that the desk mat that cost 60 lol

[glossy sandal]

I’m still pissed over arcana

[stoic tangle]

Looks nice

[glossy sandal]

It was 20$

Shame I didn’t get in on it

[royal patrol]

pretty desk mat

[stoic tangle]

Oh must've been thinking about a different one

[gloomy patrol]

I fucked it up

I thought it measured

[glossy sandal]

Pretty standard gasket mount

[glossy sandal]

LMAO

[royal patrol]

thatd be small on my desk

[glossy sandal]

You got a little desk with your deskmat

[royal patrol]

send it over ill take it off your hands

[gloomy patrol]

Why does the board sound worse tho

It’s a bit thinner sounding now

[glossy sandal]

Skill issue

[gloomy patrol]

Or maybe I’m imagining it

[royal patrol]

time to put 10mm memory foam in your keyboard

[gloomy patrol]

Dw it’s the foam 65

[royal patrol]

it was an absolute bitch to fit 10mm foam in my gamakay ck68

worth tho incredible mod

[thorn sapphire]

the fastest way to make your keyboard thock (if you have a wood desk/table) : place it directly on the wood

the change that makes to some keyboards is genuinely insane

[glossy sandal]

Thock

[warm solar]

Bought a G915 TKL used for $75. I am in LOVE with this thing. Soooo smooth to type, perfect size, and it feels like I'm still wired using LIGHTSPEED. Def looking at getting a LIGHTSPEED mouse now

[glossy sandal]

Is this an advertisement

[warm solar]

no this is not

[glossy sandal]

Oh ✅

[warm solar]

sorry if it looked like one

🤣

[glossy sandal]

Good you found a board that works for you

[twilit flare]

Christmas keycaps

[sly crane]

What do you mean...

[sly crane]

What do you recommend in that price range...

[outer beacon]

Just got my new Ducky Mecha Mini with Kalih box jade switches

[boreal rivet]

Nice

[sonic horizon]

what's a good board

for like

60€

[eternal wraith]

box jades, based

[fading iris]

Mechanical?

Bare Bones or pre built?

[untold orchid]

if a g915 gets you this pumped up you will die of heart attack if you try a custom

[warm solar]

Lol how much does custom cost? Hard to beat a G915 TKL for $75

[untold orchid]

for 75 pretty tough, the g915 isnt anything special but for that price its hard to find parts

[warm solar]

Like I’m open to going custom, just saying that for $75 I’m extremely happy with it

[boreal rivet]

custom is always more expensive

[warm solar]

Yeah Ik. I’m saying how expensive and how much better can it get

[glossy sandal]

very

[stoic tangle]

Yeah 75 for a G915 is really good in terms of features. As a keyboard though it's just okay at that price

[glossy sandal]

a good budget is about 250ish

[stoic tangle]

I mean you can get away with like 150

[glossy sandal]

ehh

i said a good budget

not one you can get away with

[stoic tangle]

V series, milky yellows, and some dye sub pbt gives you a real good experience

More than enough for most people tbh

[glossy sandal]

true, i just like recommending a build that isn't a tray mount

and not insanely cheap

[royal patrol]

me using my $150 keeb happily

[stoic tangle]

I mean I like giving both options, there's several people that the 100 saved would be better used elsewhere

[royal patrol]

and then proceeding to build my dad a $300+ keeb

[glossy sandal]

best son of all time

[stoic tangle]

Greatest Offspring of All Time

[pastel drift]

Ello

[fading iris]

You get away with $60 Imo

60 at min prebuilt

150 Min Custom

[stoic tangle]

I don't know about that, I think 90 min prebuilt for a prebuilt keychron V.

Can't think of decent enough below that

[royal patrol]

60% boards are hella cheap to build

you can build one for under a hundred

or mod one

and if you’re patient a tester68 is only $25 for case pcb and plate

$26 for 90 akko switches

$20 for keycaps

throw some packaging foam in it and a $4 tube of dielectric grease and some bandaids to mod the stabs

[stoic tangle]

I have a tester68 that i loved but it stopped working, and wireless only means i cant do much about jt

So kinda skeptical to recommend it now

[royal patrol]

it’s just an example not a specific recommendation

keyboards are cheap

[gloomy patrol]

e waste board

[glossy sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/dodo-srs-j-or-srs-srs-or-j-rwby-gif-24291327

you lying bru

if you ever intend to go outside of cheap tray mount boards it gets a tiny bit harder

[stoic tangle]

I mean other mounting styles are better and great. But most people don't need to go that far, like I said a v series is more than good enough for them. Even if they felt better boards they probably wouldn't pay double for em

I would, and have, and will. But that's not common lol

Gas67 is 50 i think for a kit so even then you could do 150 max with a good board and better mount

[royal patrol]

i mean i consider $300 cheap too

you can keep a keyboard for decades

but even the cheapest tray mount custom build is leagues better than any consumer branded keyboard

[twilit flare]

Wtf

RWBY

[stoic tangle]

I dunno about cheap but budget maybe compared to the crazy 500+ boards

[royal patrol]

my reference for cheap is how expensive something is in relation to how often you use it and for how long it’ll be usable

[twilit flare]

So if I spend $30 on keyboard is it expensive if I plan on using it everyday for 5 years

[stoic tangle]

I think they meant the inverse

[stoic tangle]

Fair, like a Herman Miller chair

[royal patrol]

that’s practically free

[twilit flare]

See y'all are rich

This is what I'm talking about y'all got moneyyy

[royal patrol]

exactly if you’re sitting 8 hours a day for years then $1200 on a chair is very reasonable

[twilit flare]

6 figure jobs and sh

[royal patrol]

i work a minimum wage job my boy

well not actually but close

$14.50

[twilit flare]

Ur rich bro

That's crazy cash

[twilit flare]

Tick tock heavy like a Brinks truck looking like I'm tip top shining like a wrist watch

[glossy sandal]

Is that below mah boy

[royal patrol]

not where i live

[glossy sandal]

Oh

[twilit flare]

@pastel drift damnnn I shoulda gotten stabs too

[pastel drift]

Wait another year

[twilit flare]

There's one that spins

[gloomy patrol]

Why Durock

[twilit flare]

This is what I mean Phil

[pastel drift]

[twilit flare]

Everytime I name ANY type of keyboard component it's: why that?

[pastel drift]

Every new keyboard

[twilit flare]

Fr

Everything we pick is wrong

[pastel drift]

Qk75 was the only good one

[twilit flare]

Gas will do my shopping for me tho

[twilit flare]

So smexy

[gloomy patrol]

Qk75 was a nice pick

[pastel drift]

Too bad I changed my mind

[twilit flare]

Lol

[pastel drift]

All good tho

[gloomy patrol]

If you are gonna buy single stabs you can pick up cherry clip ins for dirt cheap

[pastel drift]

Maybe next year

[eternal wraith]

@gloomy patrol hi lol

[gloomy patrol]

If you are paying more for my stand you can grab tx

[twilit flare]

Already clipped or do I have to clip them and do the bandaid mod sh**

[gloomy patrol]

Hihihi how’ve you been

[gloomy patrol]

You don’t need to bandaide mod shit

But you do need to clip

[twilit flare]

Bruh

[eternal wraith]

didn't know you chilled here

[twilit flare]

I'ma mess that up so bad

[gloomy patrol]

Clipping takes two seconds

[pastel drift]

Ping me if something happens jev

I gotta do epic math

[gloomy patrol]

I’m bored rn

All my servers dying

[eternal wraith]

[gloomy patrol]

[gloomy patrol]

Have you ever cut your nails

[twilit flare]

[eternal wraith]

[gloomy patrol]

He said he might be back this year but I doubt it

[gloomy patrol]

P much

It’s not hard

[gloomy patrol]

Any plans to pick up a new keeb soon?

[twilit flare]

[gloomy patrol]

I’m too broke to pick one up rn

[gloomy patrol]

What do they go for?

[eternal wraith]

like $250-300

[gloomy patrol]

Wait

Cheaper than I expected

[eternal wraith]

but i wanna get a hotswap pcb for it

which is like...$50

[gloomy patrol]

That’s a shame

$40 for a pcb is lowk normal tho right

So not too too bad

[eternal wraith]

yeah it's fine

[gloomy patrol]

So glad arc comes with 2 pcbs

[eternal wraith]

if i can find one with a h87c

that'll be great because i'm also planning to get orange alps for it

Orange alps are tactile right?

[eternal wraith]

[eternal wraith]

i think epomaker? they came out of a epomaker board and i got like 110 of em

[glossy sandal]

[eternal wraith]

theyre unironically very usable stock

[glossy sandal]

epomaker so goated (lie)

[eternal wraith]

i mean yeah

[glossy sandal]

so true oomfie

[eternal wraith]

gateron yellers are okay tho

[eternal wraith]

lol

[glossy sandal]

also like 2% sure there was a mod lurking chat earlier

idk about now though

[eternal wraith]

[royal patrol]

ive never looked at them

[glossy sandal]

gloros moment

[untold orchid]

same thing happened to me with discord some time ago, time to reinstall

[forest pebble]

Imagine buying from scumy peeps glorious

[twilit flare]

How is glorious scummy

@forest pebble

[forest pebble]

Attempting to brand a community name, attempting to steal keycaps design etc

[twilit flare]

L glorious

They take up like 2 aisles at microcenter

[stoic tangle]

I mean they've done good, they were some of the first to really pressure prices down for quality keyboards and mice. And no one owns a meme so that's not really bad. The keycaps though, that's not great, what keycaps were they?

[glossy sandal]

What good?

Their mice, keyboards, peripherals are slightly above gamer gear

And that’s not a hard bar to clear

They’ve been shady, stolen designs, etc for like ever

[stoic tangle]

Yeah that bar was higher before them is the thing, obviously the market had to come down to match. I'm asking what shady things did they do though

Not saying you're wrong, I just hadn't heard of anything except for bad stabilizers

[glossy sandal]

Plate issues that still haven’t been fixed without paying an additional fee for a plate

[glossy sandal]

Supposedly tried stealing zowie mouse shapes, branded a community made frankswitch (holy panda), lifted a keycap design off of alexotos, those are the ones blivion listed

[stoic tangle]

I, not sure how a shape can be stolen. But the rest of that does sound messed up, i like alexotos

Forgot about the holy pandas but community made them change it to glorious pandas so it's at least resolved now

Idk, I don't plan on buying anything from them but wouldn't shame someone for it

[glossy sandal]

Shape is the wrong word, design would be more fitting.

There’s a thread on Reddit if you wanna know more

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/wnl3e0/an_open_letter_to_glorious_gaming/

[stoic tangle]

Wow

Yeah that's a lot of issues

[glossy sandal]

We don’t shame people, we just try to abstain from gloros and spread word

I speak for myself though, if you’re shaming people for making an uninformed purchase you’re a loser

[stoic tangle]

Well, i was feeling bad about missing the 50% off gmmk pro for black Friday. Not anymore lol

[glossy sandal]

There’s a reason why it’s on sale constantly

[fading iris]

England lost the world cup 😔

[glossy sandal]

rip ingerland

Board should be the thing getting the most budget

Bakeneko60 is a good choice within that budget

Highly recommend

Board is fairly high pitched with any switches I threw in it

I’m using mx blacks on mine rn, used to be jwick blacks

both are “clack”, whatever that means

So if you’re not throwing in inherently low pitched or muted switches you should be able to get a sound you like

Here’s what I came up with, 184$

[royal patrol]

bro using mx blacks

[glossy sandal]

mx blacks goated

yeah you’ll need 70

For the nicepbt bakeneko kit

Pick any color you want

They’re the same aside from color

Go for it

None

Use it stock for a bit

See how you like it

Then mod

Oh

Yeah def lube and clip the stabs

Do the switches if you want

jwick blacks are totally useable stock, up to you

kk

[royal patrol]

[glossy sandal]

seethe

full nylon cherry housings goated and anyone who’s been in the hobby for 2 minutes will say the same

[twilit flare]

Switches are coming in 4-5 days

[gloomy patrol]

everyone praises the housings, but no one talks abt the stems

[glossy sandal]

[gloomy patrol]

gas i have to give the gjs back

we are back to uh

fuck

what are we back to

oil kings

[glossy sandal]

Who

[gloomy patrol]

xme

[glossy sandal]

Who’s taking them away from you

[gloomy patrol]

giving them to my mom

i told my self i'd lube the epsis before her bday

never even started

[glossy sandal]

Set yourself up with an L

[twilit flare]

Lolll

[unkempt dome]

would acrylic keyboard be quieter than alu ones ?

talking about sound volume and not pitch there

[glossy sandal]

it really depends what you’re running in it

[unkempt dome]

probably some boba silent

[glossy sandal]

Yeah should be quiet

but acrylic, or atleast what I’ve seen are just a tad higher pitched than alu

But there’s honestly so much that it’s hard to generalize

[unkempt dome]

really ... I would have thought that alu would be higher pitched

[glossy sandal]

Milled acrylic, stacked, cncd

[glossy sandal]

This is an extreme example but here’s a board of someone I know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQducraWxsA

[unkempt dome]

ok thanx

[glossy sandal]

There’s a lot more factors than just case material, but just what I’ve personally seen

[unkempt dome]

yes I know there's a lot of other factors but now focusing to get some more quieter case and I'll think about the rest later

[glossy sandal]

Prob best to get a diff plastic then

Abs cases are abundant and should be easy to make quiet

[unkempt dome]

nice ... I would like something else than tray mount since it's supposed to be better ...

well I'll try gasket eventually when my board arrives ... but for now the person I know just told me she wants a quiet keyboard

[glossy sandal]

Looking at Akko acr series I assume?

[glossy sandal]

About this, def worth looking into haimu’s silent switches

They’re pretty top of the game rn, no dampening either so doesn’t feel mushy.

[unkempt dome]

oh nice I'll look at them

yes akko but also keychron

something else if it's better

[glossy sandal]

I mean, is there a budget established?

[unkempt dome]

not that I know of ...

the haimu tactile are not that expensive on cannon key

and according to the specs would be right in my sweet spot too ...

might get them for myself at some point

thanx for the help

[glossy sandal]

[wide vale]

Hey! did anyone use a 5018B keyboard from AKKO? how can I check the battery levels?

[iron relic]

Guys where can i buy a pcb that can fit into a hades 68 the original one its broken

[glossy sandal]

Big oem keyboards don’t really sell replacement parts..

[glossy sandal]

If it isn’t in the manual or on akkos website there’s probably no way to tell.

[iron relic]

I know :c but its a waste to just throw the other parts away, so trying to find something that might fit

[glossy sandal]

You can buy a donor keyboard

which you would just be ripping the pcb and everything aside from the case and putting it in yours

But that would be a waste imo, bit expensive to save what is an overpriced gamer board

[iron relic]

Ye i guess taking the switches and using them for something else would be better

and mby i can find a use for the case

[glossy sandal]

btw, keyboard is soldered

@royal patrol

come back

[royal patrol]

[glossy sandal]

Hi I bored

[royal patrol]

cope

:)

[glossy sandal]

bro please

I’m sick and it’s raining

[royal patrol]

play video games and watch youtube

[glossy sandal]

[delicate hazel]

would the keychron q3 be a very good option for gaming? If there's a better option please say it!

[glad turret]

it's as good as any other TKL. Depends on what switches you go with.

and if you've already got an established ecosystem with lots of peripherals from the same brand, the RGB won't be synced up, but that's just a minor complaint for most people.

[delicate hazel]

i dont have the setup yet, im just planning on what keyboard ill get

[gloomy patrol]

Get soup

[gloomy patrol]

Yes

[glad turret]

SO yes, if you're just starting out, that would be a very good choice to start yourself out with.

[delicate hazel]

tbh the peripherals will all be from a different brand and the mouse doesnt even have rgb

the mouse i plan on getting the razer deathadder v3 pro

and i plan to go with the brown switches

[glad turret]

not going for one of the special editions? Gotta admit, I like the look of the Transparent Black caps they have on some models right now

I have a Q10 with Kailh Box Navy switches and the Cerakey ceramic caps.

[glossy sandal]

q10 so based

[glad turret]

This thing is almost my endgame... just needed a couple more keys on the right side between Right Alt and the arrows.

(the arrow keys have Gateron Oil Kings for smoothness so they don't let the RGB through.)

[glossy sandal]

i think it's already got alot of keys loll

anymore and it'd be too clustered for me to like

[glad turret]

they could have added an Fn2 key to open up a third layer for those of us who like to tinker in VIA

(Cerakey will eventually ship me blank 2.25 and 2.75 u spacebars. The 0 and Right Shift are there as placeholders for now.)

[fading iris]

You can almost never go wrong with a keychron

[fading iris]

Ergo keyboards I’m not a fan but you can make some damn good ergo keyboards

[glad turret]

They're kind of the Toyota of keyboards. Maybe not the most exciting option, but reliable.

[fading iris]

Yeah

It’s cool your nearly at your end game I’m no where near my endgame rn Lmfao

[glad turret]

Note: no one ever reaches their endgame. Some new improvement will come out and you start the hunt all over again.

[gloomy patrol]

whats your endgame shaping up to be?

deeper you get the more unobtainable endgame gets

[glossy sandal]

boing boing boing

[chrome raft]

Does anyone know a good small tkl white rgb keyboard for around 60 gbp?

[glossy sandal]

small, tkl?

[glossy sandal]

Hmmm

Prebuilt ?

[chrome raft]

Defo

[royal patrol]

there wont be anything actually good in that price range

[royal patrol]

@glossy sandal the q5 arrived two days early

goddam the bitch is heavy

wow it is absolutely gorgeous

[normal fiber]

What mods should I apply to my keyboard

I've already done tape

[royal patrol]

lube stabilizers

[royal patrol]

it feels incredible

it makes me want to do a premium build for myself

[glossy sandal]

you want your board to feel like that?

[royal patrol]

just the way the cnc aluminum case and overall build quality feels

i havent assembled it so i cant comment on typing feel or sound

[glossy sandal]

tray mount to gasket mount is a pretty good advancement

ah

yeah keychron cnc is decent

[royal patrol]

this thing is like 5.3 lb

[glossy sandal]

There’s a lot better though

for better cnc*

[royal patrol]

south facing pcb is weird

[glossy sandal]

It’s better

[royal patrol]

i believe it but it is weird looking

[unkempt dome]

South facing is better only if you care about cherry profile keycaps and you use switches that can have interference

South facing is worst for people that care about rgb with shine through keycaps

[glossy sandal]

I forgot about rgb

[unkempt dome]

Yeah I don't use rgb so I don't care about it at all

[glossy sandal]

It’s kind of important to accommodate cherry profile when like 80% of keycaps on the market are cherry

[unkempt dome]

It depends of the person

it's preference

I hate cherry profile so north facing is not an issue

Also if you have interference you can always paper mod and that's it

[glossy sandal]

paper mod is so jank

[unkempt dome]

And also not all switches will have interference to begin with

[glossy sandal]

there’s a big majority that will

some have different top housings

some have reduced travel, long poles etc

[unkempt dome]

Akko switches don't

[glossy sandal]

Akko switches are long poles right

But no reduced travel

I have some on a north facing board and don’t feel it apparently

[unkempt dome]

The cherry brown I have also don't interfere

[glossy sandal]

Which board?

[unkempt dome]

Durgod fusion

Came stock with cherry brown and cherry profile keycaps ...

[royal patrol]

oil kings dont interfere

[glossy sandal]

Yeah oil kings have different top housing

[royal patrol]

so theyre cheap

theyre in stock
