vietnam

right next to china

[glossy sandal]

oh damn

[ionic briar]

so chinese parts has a lot of proxies and importer here

[glossy sandal]

why is everyone in this keyboard channel outside of NA

I feel solitary

[gloomy patrol]

i would never

[gloomy patrol]

i will egg your house again

dont test me

[boreal rivet]

Dude being able to get Taobao to ship directly to me is the best shit ever

[glossy sandal]

mx!!

[boreal rivet]

Literally pay half price on hobby paints

[glossy sandal]

I have a small question

[boreal rivet]

?

[glossy sandal]

LCD-X

[boreal rivet]

Audeze is known for unit variation as an fyi

[glossy sandal]

bawling

1/1 headphone)??

[boreal rivet]

Buying an lcdx meant that you would basically be playing headphone lucky draw

Some unicorns sound insane but others not

Idk if it’s still as prominent of a thing anymore though

To sum up the headphone market

Audeze is a headphone lucky draw

Hifiman is shit value with usually annoying treble, one of their best headphones is unobtanium

[glossy sandal]

Is that why they’re so cheap aftermarket

Because there is objectively good and bad ones

[boreal rivet]

Sennheiser has like four good headphones and everything new they release turns out shit

Focal has terrible CS and questionable build quality with their headbands

[boreal rivet]

Which?

[glossy sandal]

LCD-X

[boreal rivet]

I think it’s just depreciation

[glossy sandal]

I saw someone selling one for 450$

[boreal rivet]

Headphone hobby doesn’t have artificial scarcity

[glossy sandal]

so would you say that the worst possible variation on lcd-X would be fine if it’s cheap

[boreal rivet]

Ehhh

Haven’t heard one and wouldn’t risk it

[glossy sandal]

They’re really pretty

[boreal rivet]

Yeah that I agree with

[glossy sandal]

They look like grados but apparently good?

[boreal rivet]

They’re a lot bigger

[chrome raft]

milky yellow

[boreal rivet]

And yeah pretty much the best planars you can buy if you get lucky

Not a high bar though

Since the other competitor is hifiman

[glossy sandal]

question

would I notice the differences

[boreal rivet]

Well no since your sample size would be 1

[glossy sandal]

[boreal rivet]

Oh I forgot

[glossy sandal]

wha

[boreal rivet]

Zmfs are also good

[glossy sandal]

zmfs

[boreal rivet]

Nice handmade wood cups

[glossy sandal]

I think these may be out of my league

what would even power these

[boreal rivet]

Mm yeah out of mine too

[glossy sandal]

Sangaku and what

[boreal rivet]

Just a regular headphone amp

You can drive pretty much anything well with gaku

The exceptions aren’t in your sight anyways I don’t think

[glossy sandal]

Why is there no universal audio gear mannn

[boreal rivet]

Because it’s all preference

Fr this time

[glossy sandal]

omg keyboard reference

what’s the safest option then

[cunning anvil]

:D

[glossy sandal]

Man.

[cunning anvil]

this one was really quick, but i redid the edge cuts so many times

im actually happy about the encoder placement at least

[boreal rivet]

Like in headphones?

[ionic briar]

oh, and about the bent plate
i bent it back to straight ish
stab balance style

[glossy sandal]

#awesome

[glossy sandal]

It’s hdxxx lineup isn’t it

[boreal rivet]

For me yes

I use it as a reference when trying new stuff

[boreal rivet]

Excluding the hd800/s though

[cunning anvil]

currently deciding on either 4x10 ortho or that thumb clusters board next

really worried i wont like those thumbs and end up with another unwanted board lol

[glossy sandal]

are you buying qk80?

[hard glacier]

Is that true that laptop keyboard has the best actuation force?

[boreal rivet]

best?

[glossy sandal]

no best

preference

[hard glacier]

Yeah.... Whatever i just knew okay?

[sly crane]

Can EVA foam be used for modding

It's 5mm thick

[amber tartan]

yes

[sly crane]

How thick do you think I should use, 2mm or 5mm?

[amber tartan]

probably 5mm

[sly crane]

can silicone oil be used to lube switches?

[ionic briar]

If they are not chemically reactive to thermoplastic then yes

[muted karma]

would not recommend it for any random switch

the typical 205g0 is quite thick

(in comparison)

[sonic cape]

it can work but dont buy something too sticky, you need some lube with low viscosity

[sly crane]

What about this one, it's called "Dielectric Silicone Grease"?

[ionic briar]

thats one of the grease that wont react with thermoplastic

but those are super duper thick, hard to apply a thin coat and are usually used for stabilizers

[sly crane]

So it should be fine for stabilizers?

[ionic briar]

yeap

[sly crane]

Oh ty

[wicked meteor]

What's a good 65% keyboard? I'm not really trying to go crazy on one but I just want something that's better then my corsair keyboard I've had since like 2016

[chrome raft]

gateron milky yellows

[ionic briar]

keychron v2?
or the q2 if you can afford it

[chrome raft]

why are matchas so expensive lol

also I kinda wanna try ergo clears

[wicked meteor]

I wanna keyboard that sounds like the fallout terminal

[urban panther]

second this

[chrome raft]

I can get 70 prelubed ink blacks for like $50, feels like a massive scam

wait why are oil kings cheaper than ink black v2's lol

read the fine print, lubing costs an extra $50 for 70 switches

[gloomy patrol]

[gloomy patrol]

Don’t get the normal inks

If you do get inks get box inks

[wicked meteor]

I think I like the sound of the gateron browns if that's how you spell it

[chrome raft]

look up milky yellow sound test

Actually I have a genuine question

[wicked meteor]

Or gateron red

[chrome raft]

Where can I get a 65% barebones kit made of purple anodized aluminum?

[wicked meteor]

Biggiecheese what do u think of gateron reds

[chrome raft]

Don't like them personally

I prefer other switches

[chrome raft]

@glossy sandal

[wicked meteor]

I find the milky yellows sound too dainty

[urban panther]

there's NK65

[chrome raft]

tis not purple :(

[glossy sandal]

TG-67

[chrome raft]

$280 lmfao

[urban panther]

it technically is

[wicked meteor]

The glacier80 with North pole switches sounds incredible to ke

Me

[glossy sandal]

cope

[chrome raft]

the galcier80 is also $400

[chrome raft]

[glossy sandal]

Glacier80 is well worth the price

highly recommend

They sell for more than 400$ btw

[chrome raft]

eh

I prefer 65% over any other layout

[glossy sandal]

Cool

[chrome raft]

@glossy sandal https://kbdfans.com/collections/deskmat/products/kbdfans-japanese-style-deskmat?variant=40255137611915 this is really pretty

the purple one i mean

[hard glacier]

guys should i choose akko vintage white or akko silver

[chrome raft]

milky yellows

[wicked meteor]

Ordered

[hard glacier]

i dont think that will work on a outemu socket

[chrome raft]

no way lmfao

[wicked meteor]

Sounds too good

Tickles my brain literally

[chrome raft]

lemme listen to some soundtests of it

[gloomy patrol]

Big ups

Are you gonna run it plateless

Which I think it can do if I’m thinking of the right board

[wicked meteor]

Nah I'm kidding I didn't order it it's too much

[gloomy patrol]

You’ll jump down this rabbit hole someday

[wicked meteor]

But I can see why people get it

[gloomy patrol]

It’s a pretty board

I believe in you

[glossy sandal]

finally someone who understands more than the raw materials involved

[wicked meteor]

Idk I'm just not someone that would sit down and lube up switches or shit like that

[urban panther]

akko has some decent pre-lubed switches

[gloomy patrol]

If you don’t want to lube

Get aflions

[wicked meteor]

I like to keep it raw personally

No lube

[glossy sandal]

y’all weird

[glossy sandal]

why are you telling me

[chrome raft]

because I wanted to

shut up

[gloomy patrol]

Gas ltt keyboard god

[chrome raft]

sup astro

[glossy sandal]

I will leave if you say that again

[gloomy patrol]

Hey

How’s it going biggie

[glossy sandal]

Thanks astro

Very cool

[void vale]

Just got this from one of my teachers today

[glossy sandal]

woah

[gloomy patrol]

damnnn

looks great

[open fulcrum]

If I wanted a good “budget” 75% keyboard, what should I get? (Probably around $75 usd max)

I say 75%, because I don’t need a number pad on the side

[glossy sandal]

Keychron V1

[open fulcrum]

Seems to be a bit more for the non barebones, but only by maybe $10-15, so it definitely is something I can look into

[glossy sandal]

Definitely something worth looking into

[open fulcrum]

Yeah, $10-15 over isn’t a turn off or anything

If it’s a good quality keyboard than I won’t mind spending the extra (and it sounds to be good quality)

[forest pebble]

You had extras for a while though, only the wkl brown slashed flawed is available for 355 now 😦

[chrome raft]

💀

[boreal rivet]

?

[chrome raft]

oh crap

is this not keyboard and mice ?

or is this just keyboards

this channel

[glossy sandal]

I’ve never used a mouse

[sick salmon]

Offer declined

China is improving. This case ain’t half bad

Lubed Gateron Yellows
China Case
China Caps

*crayola pencils

[glossy sandal]

ok

[amber tartan]

no one ever said china was bad

[urban panther]

I loved my G900
Probably my favorite mouse that I've used

[chrome raft]

double clicking issues heh?

[urban panther]

Not even once

[chrome raft]

fr?

[urban panther]

Idk if the original G900 was as prone to double clicks as the successors

[chrome raft]

im waiting on a new updated version to release

idk how many more years i will wait

[urban panther]

Not worth waiting

[chrome raft]

yeah i know

[chrome raft]

thats why i did this

haha

[urban panther]

But USB C would be nice

[chrome raft]

is it actually that big of an issue?

as people make out to be

[urban panther]

It's an annoyance

Especially if everything else is Type C

[chrome raft]

iphone users be like

[urban panther]

I'm an android user with AirPods

😭

[glossy sandal]

China is bad

badass!!

[chrome raft]

at this point id give up the usb c just so i can get a g903 with no clicking issues 😭

[amber tartan]

badass at keyboards

[chrome raft]

speaking of usb c

i got my g915 few days ago

i love it

[urban panther]

Well, AirPods + magic trackpad need lightning

[glossy sandal]

have you seen qk80

do you think it’s pretty bud pal friend

[chrome raft]

they gave the cable, and i just use it to connect my dongle on there and its better than the dongle on the pc

[amber tartan]

yes it pretty pretty

[urban panther]

The battery on my Corsair k63 wireless doesn't like to hold a charge anymore

I use it with the Corsair lapboard for couch gaming

[glossy sandal]

I want one!!!!

I wish I could Hge one

[amber tartan]

get one!

[glossy sandal]

navy cobra

[urban panther]

I've heard the G915 TKL is a near perfect fit for the lapboard

[chrome raft]

ive used 40% of my keyboard in 3 days

[glossy sandal]

you should get one

[urban panther]

Get one what huh

[glossy sandal]

Qk80

It’s very thocky

[chrome raft]

how are they with samsung phones?

[urban panther]

What dat

[urban panther]

Pixel

[glossy sandal]

goolge.com

[chrome raft]

alot of people say airpods are overpriced

[glossy sandal]

I think they’re good tws anc earbuds

and even better if you’re an apple user

[chrome raft]

i have my galaxy buds 😭

theyre good icl

very good

[urban panther]

They work like regular Bluetooth buds. The battery life is a mystery cause apple doesn't show battery % on Android. They drop connection to each other a lot on my phone but never on my ipad/MacBook

[chrome raft]

just not good for over 3 hours

[urban panther]

However, the ANC is unparalleled

[chrome raft]

what is ANC?

[glossy sandal]

active noise cancelling

[urban panther]

So I will suffer through the quality of life issues on Android for that pristine ANC

I tried pixel buds pro. Not even close

[glossy sandal]

https://qwertykeys.notion.site/QK80-d3c6ade3daec4dbd8e4d7ba605d54641

I think the ice crystal patterns are very #naise

[glossy sandal]

are you buying a tharbly qk80 nightpie

[amber tartan]

nope

[glossy sandal]

what!

[amber tartan]

im #broke already

[glossy sandal]

#sad #relatable #society

[urban panther]

Oh lol. I've used them with Samsung phones and Google phones. I currently have a Google pixel. There isn't any difference with AirPods between galaxy & pixel

[glossy sandal]

from the harbor60?

[amber tartan]

yesiu

[glossy sandal]

oh em gee

[amber tartan]

its a 65

[glossy sandal]

how much was it

17$ aud

???

[amber tartan]

it was 600 or so usd

[glossy sandal]

[chrome raft]

i really like the design of the airpods

esp the new ones

but

yeh :V

[glossy sandal]

I wonder if kfe ce will set me back as much as that

[urban panther]

How much is it?

[glossy sandal]

168$ for hotswap bt ano and pvd

[gloomy patrol]

Shud start sub 150

[glossy sandal]

for China version

[gloomy patrol]

Is this no plate?

[glossy sandal]

Unsure how much western version would be

it’s plate

[urban panther]

I have smaller ears, so I much prefer their design to Samsung/Google/Sony earbuds

[glossy sandal]

I think

[gloomy patrol]

Yea

Starting sub 150 still sounds reasonable then

[glossy sandal]

you check the zizz message I told you about

[urban panther]

Wait is it a group buy / preorder

[glossy sandal]

Preorder?

[chrome raft]

does the sound quality differ with ios or android?

[gloomy patrol]

You told me abt what now

[glossy sandal]

I don’t know

[gloomy patrol]

Yes

[chrome raft]

i love the control i have over my samsung earbuds

[gloomy patrol]

Oh earbud talk

[chrome raft]

i can alter the left and right, becuase i think my left ear is weaker :v

[urban panther]

The AirPods squeezing is by far my favorite

[glossy sandal]

If I were to build one

[gloomy patrol]

My ears are so fucked when I put my left bud in it sounds like my right earbud is out

[glossy sandal]

it would be black black ice ice and paisley badge

[gloomy patrol]

This but circuit

[gloomy patrol]

Like ngl how do I fix this

And my ears are diff sizes and shii

[glossy sandal]

That’s the worst one

The 40xx design on it sucks man

[urban panther]

Samsung (of course) offers a lot of more software features/control of their earbuds than apple & Google do.
However, apples is the best hardware and Google is a happy middle ground

[gloomy patrol]

[glossy sandal]

sorry you have bad taste

I can fix you

buy paisley

[chrome raft]

no control over the hardware, no point. i need to control left and right, bass and quiet mode and stuff

i liked connecting them between my laptop and phone too

[urban panther]

Oh I get it

[chrome raft]

yeah i have the book pro laptop too :v

[urban panther]

That's why Samsung exists lol

Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is very interesting

[chrome raft]

ive not seen it yet

but

im not impressed by the s23 series

they've flattened out the ultra's display

[gloomy patrol]

i have good taste

[chrome raft]

im a huge note fan and curved display fan :v

[gloomy patrol]

circuit j better

[urban panther]

This is good lol

[gloomy patrol]

holy it was that much

what color and layout did you go for

[chrome raft]

ive been curved display fanboi since the s6 edge

my current phone is note 10

[urban panther]

How the fuck do you hold your phone

[chrome raft]

note 10 / s10 was pinnacle of samsung design

[urban panther]

I did note10+. Too curved for me

[urban panther]

100%

Peak Samsung was 2019

[chrome raft]

2019**

yeah

or

2017 was very good

s8

[urban panther]

If note10+ had the 3.5mm I wouldn't have upgraded to the pixels

[chrome raft]

s8 when it came out was amazing, it was like owning a lamborghini

🗿

[urban panther]

I want the Sony phone

With headphone jack and microsd

But it's so expensive

[chrome raft]

which one?

i dont keep up with sony

[urban panther]

Xperia 1 mk. 4

[chrome raft]

i know they have 1 very good one

xperia 1 IV?

[urban panther]

https://electronics.sony.com/mobile/smartphone/all/p/xqct62-b

[chrome raft]

wow

[urban panther]

Wow, would you look at that.
Ports.

[chrome raft]

refurbished ones are half the price as brand new ones on ebay

and why are they all in switzerland

[urban panther]

I've already upgraded and got addicted to pixelOS

[chrome raft]

i would love to try pixel one day

but their phone designs is just not me

[urban panther]

Now Playing & Call Screening are truly wonderful

If they bake those features into regular Android, I'd like to go back to Samsung hardware

[chrome raft]

i dont like their camera bump thingies

[urban panther]

It's weird to look at and great to use

[chrome raft]

great cameras tho

[urban panther]

Yeah

[chrome raft]

idk about videos

[urban panther]

It also sits flat on a table

[chrome raft]

🗿

[urban panther]

No rocking back and forth

[chrome raft]

i always hold my phone

[urban panther]

Any video I make with my phone is getting hyper compressed to social media

[chrome raft]

SAME

[urban panther]

So it doesn't matter to me; but Samsung offers a lot more video features.

[chrome raft]

i was 👌 this close to buying discord premium just to exceed 8mb limit

[urban panther]

[chrome raft]

its good marketing strat from discord fr fr

ill give them that

[urban panther]

Nitro basic is worth

[chrome raft]

[urban panther]

[chrome raft]

[glossy sandal]

the profile decorations are so cute though

waiting for them to make it so music plays when clicking on your profile

[chrome raft]

Custom audio 💀

I can already hear the earape

[glossy sandal]

I hope people aren’t weirdos using it for bad!!

[chrome raft]

[glossy sandal]

[amber tartan]

yes noxary boards

[glossy sandal]

[amber tartan]

[glossy sandal]

[amber tartan]

yes

[glossy sandal]

omg

[amber tartan]

[boreal rivet]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-m3-wireless-mouse

Office mouse with a 3395 lmao

[amber tartan]

[gloomy patrol]

Wkl 65s hurt me

[amber tartan]

[glossy sandal]

wtf devious

[amber tartan]

the wkl is in tsangan layout

[glossy sandal]

Oh then probs

[amber tartan]

tsangan so good

[gloomy patrol]

Tsangan good on everything other than 65s

Uneven blockers so painful

[glossy sandal]

Cope?

[amber tartan]

bad keyboard design ig

[gloomy patrol]

wait those look even wtf

[amber tartan]

they are

because good design

[gloomy patrol]

i fw it

its mainly stuff like this thats uh

[amber tartan]

weak

600 dollar wkl board at least needs to be tsangan

[gloomy patrol]

oh wait this uses 1.25u mods then right

thats how they did it

lowk dont hate it

[glossy sandal]

I’m so #board

@lord of hat(red)

funny layout please

[cunning anvil]

I'm all designed out at the moment xP

do NOT need to design more keyboards i cant afford lol

[muted karma]

you know why tsangan is ugly on 65%

because 65% is ugly in general

[amber tartan]

youre ugly in general

[muted karma]

XT helps it a bit

[cunning anvil]

no rotation of keys, but rotating wrists apart stagger

11u width

[tawny umbra]

what would be the budget recommendation for a %100?

[amber tartan]

probably a lot for a custom full size

[viscid tapir]

what are cheapest wob key or owb with japanese legends

ones that are able to get in eu

[jaunty heath]

am looking for a high-end full-sized or tkl keyboard any advice
what am looking for is: I don't want it to be too loud, it needs to have a volume adjust button (or knob) and prefer a play and pause audio button (has to be all black)

[glossy sandal]

The highest end you’re getting with one of those specifications is the keychron q6

dedicated media buttons on keyboards aren’t really a thing

[glossy sandal]

thanks

I hate it

[chrome raft]

milky yellow

[boreal rivet]

stop making your personality a switch

its sad

[hard glacier]

How many switches does 60% keyboard need?

[chrome raft]

60

[hard glacier]

F

I ordered to much

[glossy sandal]

61

[chrome raft]

how many did you order

[glossy sandal]

too much

[hard glacier]

3 45pcs

Uh okay

[glossy sandal]

What

[hard glacier]

Are dcs and xda the same profile?

[glossy sandal]

No

I don’t know enough about both to tell you exactly what makes them different but they are definitely different

[boreal rivet]

Xda is a spherical uniform profile keycap

[glossy sandal]

thanks mx

you’re the best

[boreal rivet]

Dca is cylindrical and shaped kinda like oem profile

Idk it’s not that hard to just google it

[glossy sandal]

🐛

[twilit flare]

Wait hollup, y'all heard about the OnePlus keyboard?

https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/01/29/oneplus-goes-beyond-mobile-with-a-stylish-mechanical-keyboard/

https://youtu.be/d3i9nq87vNo?t=23

[amber tartan]

yeah ....

[wooden ember]

i'm probably going to buy one just to have. it's a really cool concept

I have a wall display that it would look baller on

there are other versions of this board by other companies it seems too

[glossy sandal]

Keyboards

[upper valve]

yo can someone help?

my mouse and keyboard keeps disconnecting

usually when i am playing a game

[glossy sandal]

check the usb ports

[upper valve]

like unplug and replug?

[glossy sandal]

No

[upper valve]

or smth else?

[glossy sandal]

Plug into a different usb if you have it

[upper valve]

i did try that

[glossy sandal]

have you checked drivers

[upper valve]

yeah

i went into device manager to see if there was any updates

[glossy sandal]

yeah…I’m not sure

[upper valve]

idk whats going on

it started like 2 days ago

i was trying to install bluestacks

but idk if there is any correlation there

[glossy sandal]

no idea.

I’m more into keyboard hardware

[upper valve]

i see

u know somewhere I can look?

in this server?

[glossy sandal]

maybe just one of the two tech chats

[upper valve]

aight

thanks

[boreal rivet]

The engraving is dope

[past vortex]

it's kind of surprising right? XD

[boreal rivet]

Wdym?

[past vortex]

well lots of keyboards end up with a generic / nutrual theme. I'm just saying it's a bold choice.

[boreal rivet]

It’s hardly surprising when you look at what they did with the starlight mice tbh

The screen and it’s metaverse shit is stupid but I’d buy one just for the engraving honestly

[glossy sandal]

I thought it was a lot more shallow

Kinda lit now that I look at it

[vocal stratus]

Recently built the Class80 keyboard for my basement "retro-inspired" PC. I don’t often use this computer at the bar (unless I’m adjusting music playlists and stuff). Most of the time I have video signal being sent from my tower to one of two CRT TV’s (an SD 4:3 & HD 16:9) on the other side of the room for movies, shows, or gaming/emulation. Anybody got any suggestions for a nice beige mouse? Beige is beautiful.

[boreal rivet]

Paint one with an airbrush

[jolly jetty]

so i just got a deathstalker v2 pro since i really dig that low profile clicky optical switches

but the led is.....really dim, even at maximum brightness

is there any way to improve it?

The light somehow looks a lot brighter in camera than irl

[gloomy patrol]

[amber tartan]

new keyboard

[glossy sandal]

this is not W

[chrome raft]

what's a good keyboard without rgb?

hey guys, got a question, ive been looking for a keyboard recently and found MK270 from Logictech... is it any good?

[glossy sandal]

You can disable the rgb on most boards btw

[glossy sandal]

solid worker board, especially if you don’t care about it

[chrome raft]

they cost more

[glossy sandal]

you can just use it and forget about it forever

[chrome raft]

all I care is that

[glossy sandal]

can you be more specific then?

[chrome raft]

its nice to type on

[glossy sandal]

alright

Leopold boards

[chrome raft]

not too expensive

[glossy sandal]

you can find them on mechanicalkeyboards.com

filter by brand, Leopold.

[chrome raft]

uh and it has to be 75%

[glossy sandal]

I see

Keychron v1

ignore leopold, nothing they make is 75%.

[chrome raft]

send a link for a v1

nvm

[chrome raft]

I don't really like the looks of the v1

[glossy sandal]

wild

[near vault]

Could any keyboard enthusiasts help me with something? I have a 60% and I want to get an addition for it if possible, like those number pad ones, but it has arrow keys (could be just arrow keys or arrow keys and num pad idrc), is that a thing? If so where would I even get something like that?

[glossy sandal]

It’s called a numpad

[near vault]

Now that I think about it, most num pads have arrow keys built in so just s num pad thing would work prob

[glossy sandal]

most don’t have arrows built in.

it’s just the pure numpad, I’m sure you can reprogram it though.

[near vault]

Where could I get one of those and not have it be bad quality

[glossy sandal]

I’m actually unsure, I don’t have much use for numpads

[near vault]

Ok, well thanks for the help

[glossy sandal]

what were you looking to spend?

I could do some digging.

[near vault]

Idk, nothing like crazy expensive but also not like cheap you know

[glossy sandal]

A number, please.

[near vault]

You don’t got to do that though, I can look around more

[glossy sandal]

It’ll take me a minute or two at the most.

[gloomy patrol]

quick question, can you solder

[near vault]

Yeah

[gloomy patrol]

and the arrows are a must?

[near vault]

As long as I can use it to imitate arrow keys that fine

[glossy sandal]

So a numpad with a layer

splendid

[gloomy patrol]

at the cheapest murphpad on the cheaper end

[glossy sandal]

there is probably cheaper

[gloomy patrol]

on the more pricy end there is q0

[gloomy patrol]

im sure there is some thru hole kit on ali for cheaper

but like

[glossy sandal]

it’s okay

I know you like the OLED

[near vault]

Yeah something like this would work good

[vocal stratus]

@near vault What do you think of something like this? https://drop.com/buy/megalodon-triple-knob-38-keyboard-with-oled-screen?defaultSelectionIds=972991

@near vault Or the slightly smaller version: https://drop.com/buy/megalodon-doio-hot-swappable-rgb-30-keyboard?defaultSelectionIds=970717

[glossy sandal]

[glossy sandal]

Mineral man has some plans for gemstone artisans, he’s been telling me about it

[gloomy patrol]

wait wait is man still active in hipyos

im lowk really intetested

[glossy sandal]

He isn’t

He’s thought about it but hasn’t done anything yet

Apparently going back to school for a cs degree

Or something along those lines, i forget.

[gloomy patrol]

icic

good on him

[glossy sandal]

want me to invite him to badminton? I don’t feel he would be a good fit.

[hollow trout]

I'm contemplating, should I change these keys into hotkeys and if so then to what (these are keys i dont use)
is it possible to make one of them run a script that opens all my daily necessary tabs and programs? (and is that a good idea)
I'm a student so primarily my programs are the following: WhatsApp, edge(with a bunch of tabs i have open up automatically as soon as i open edge ), discord, teams, i cant think of other programs i use on the daily, if someone has a suggestion in regards to the hotkeys please let me know

is this were i should post this??

please @ me to get my attention

[gloomy patrol]

lowk i dont see him being very active there

but if you ever feel liek it might as well

[amber tartan]

get AHK

[hard glacier]

What switch was that in the beginning it was to thocky and tactile?

[ionic briar]

that is just my gateron yellow with the sp star plate mount switch
so its a linear, i guess the backspace sound like that?

[hard glacier]

no the intro i need that

[ionic briar]

oh thats me snapping my fingers

[hard glacier]

can u cut ur finger and send it to me?

[ionic briar]

the 2 clicks at the beginning?

[hard glacier]

i want a piece of it

[hard glacier]

yes

[ionic briar]

yea thats my fingers

weird that you thought that was a switch

[hard glacier]

yeah i though that was like to clicky so

[ionic briar]

i have a fat palm

prob why it sounds thock

[hard glacier]

Anyways uh Gateron yellow? or Milky yellows?

[ionic briar]

nope, ks9 yellow

so the rgb variant, top translucent bot white

[amber tartan]

ks3 on top tbh

[ionic briar]

yep

[karmic atlas]

What do you guys think of the Logitech G413

[glossy sandal]

mediocre

[untold orchid]

subpar

[viscid tapir]

i give up getting these

[spare reef]

Anyone remember this oldie? 16 years old still working flawlessly.

[uncut basin]

man wish mine still worked. That thing was baller

[karmic atlas]

I looked at the Keychron V6 and I don't like it

[ionic briar]

it doesnt have enough metal?

[boreal rivet]

I saw this nib in some bookstore a while back

for like 20 dollars

[spare reef]

steal worth every dollar 😄

[glossy sandal]

I am older than this keyboard

by a year.

[spare reef]

well the the g15 launched november/december 2006 i think

[glossy sandal]

that’s a while ago

[karmic atlas]

The keys and the color

[glossy sandal]

You don’t like black?

[karmic atlas]

I already have a full size tho. It's just loud bc it has mx blues

The color of the keys

[ionic briar]

so the keycaps?

you could just buy the barebone, and fill in with your favorite keycaps and switches

[boreal rivet]

yeah I regret not picking it up

would've been cool to have as a showpiece or something

[viscid tapir]

new aliexpress cable

[glossy sandal]

anyone have any recommendations for uhmwpe stemmed nylon housing switches

P3 also works for stem

[dusk frigate]

anyone got some 75 procent keyboard recommendations

budget is around 100 euros

[glossy sandal]

Keychron v1

[viscid tapir]

v1 is decent but i got v3 instead

just because of the layout

[glossy sandal]

They’re all the same board

[karmic atlas]

I have a few pieces of Logitech peripherals and they're good. I guess it wouldn't hurt to buy a Logitech keyboard

77% of the ratings on Amazon are 5 stars

My amazon has too many individual orders atm so when i get my packages, i'll order the keyboard

[dusk frigate]

@spare sigil what keyboard and mouse do you have?

[viscid tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUf7DIbVeR8&ab_channel=Coleus

[glossy sandal]

Looks like a keychron q1v2 in shell white

and a g305

any you like to be honest :)))

[viscid tapir]

i havej ust bought new g305

[glossy sandal]

I’m so happy for you

[viscid tapir]

it was on sale

[glossy sandal]

have fun with it

[viscid tapir]

g203 shape is based

hard to find better egg shaped

[glossy sandal]

I’ve never daily’d a Logitech mouse

I don’t like them

[onyx summit]

Should I use rubic cube lube as keyboard lube for the memes

[glossy sandal]

This is not funny

[onyx summit]

But would it work

[glossy sandal]

No

[onyx summit]

Why not

[cunning anvil]

never thought about lubing my cube

makes sense though

[onyx summit]

Gas give me a answer

[cunning anvil]

why is it a meme though

[onyx summit]

GAS COME BACK

[glossy sandal]

I’m playing sodoku

please leave me alone

[onyx summit]

I'll leave you alone if you tell me why it doesn't work

[glossy sandal]

[glossy sandal]

It’s not good long term, goes away very quickly.

could also hurt the switch and stuff yadayada

[glossy sandal]

funny using something that isn’t lube as lube haha

anything from keychron v series honestly.

[cunning anvil]

it's lube just not electrical lube

[onyx summit]

Rubic cube lube stays for a while.

I got some on my hands

Still won't come off

[glossy sandal]

I’m not your father

Do what you like

[cunning anvil]

3x3x3 keyboard

[glossy sandal]

That’s called a macropad

[cunning anvil]

3³ without layers

[glossy sandal]

wait

So a pain 27

[cunning anvil]

though it's probably easier to do 3x3x6 face

50% ish cube shaped keyboard

[onyx summit]

What if I put weight 5 rubic lube on it

[glossy sandal]

I don’t know

I’m a keyboard enthusiast, not a cuber

[cunning anvil]

dyk what kinda one handed boards there are

[glossy sandal]

hmm

[cunning anvil]

like full range of keys with one hand

i know that a lotta the times theyre chorded

[onyx summit]

I would assume there's alot of overlap

[glossy sandal]

erm

[cunning anvil]

though i wonder if theres any other way to get that many diff chars with one hand

[onyx summit]

Both groups like wasting a shit load of money on feel

[glossy sandal]

why would there?

There’s a bit more of a ceiling for cubes, is there not?

[onyx summit]

Also both groups are kinda nerdy

[glossy sandal]

I am a nerd

[cunning anvil]

hypercubers are cool

[glossy sandal]

different lubes have different purposes

this and that are meant for different things

[onyx summit]

Until they tell you they spent 100 dollars on a plastic case

For the cube

[glossy sandal]

I spent 140 dollars on this aluminum case

for my keyboard

[onyx summit]

I mean atleast thats made out of metal

[glossy sandal]

there can be expensive plastic

[onyx summit]

Its just a normal plastic box

[onyx summit]

Feels like abs

[glossy sandal]

polycarbonate cases are nice and can be expensive to manufacture

[opaque shard]

I just made 70 euro order on 3D printed pieces for my kb

Shit is expensive

[cunning anvil]

i cant believe how long the gan cube page is

[glossy sandal]

what is that

[cunning anvil]

maglev cube

[onyx summit]

It felt like abs not pbt

[glossy sandal]

I said polycarbonate

Not polyethylene propyl butane or whatever pbt stands for

[onyx summit]

Polybutylene terephthalate

[glossy sandal]

ok

[onyx summit]

It was abs

[cunning anvil]

what case?

[glossy sandal]

I’m going to sleep

[cunning anvil]

now i wanna make an altoids tin keyboard

[viscid tapir]

i put krytox on rubic cube too

[cunning anvil]

i feel like the keeb lube in cube is less intimidating than the reverse

[viscid tapir]

my friend sprayed whole keyboard with wd

[cunning anvil]

yum

[glossy sandal]

HAHAHA WTF

[viscid tapir]

it was greasy

but worked perfectly

[blissful dragon]

with what

[viscid tapir]

wd

40

[blissful dragon]

???

[viscid tapir]

he dumped switches just in the liquid

even keycaps afterwards

[glossy sandal]

man people will do anything instead of saving 8$ for lube

[blissful dragon]

why...

[viscid tapir]

he said for the meme

[viscid tapir]

people often hate the process

[cunning anvil]

its not for everyone ig

[viscid tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZaLv_Ga5ik&ab_channel=TechTwins

[viscid tapir]

yes i do not stand lubing it myself

once and never again

[glossy sandal]

I would lube switches for 3$

I find it calming

[viscid tapir]

i broke my chair while changing switches

it got me so mad

[glossy sandal]

wtf lmao

[viscid tapir]

because they refuse to go out

even if i use both hands

especially box switches

pins always break for me

[glossy sandal]

that shit is so fucking funny man

how did you break the chair

[viscid tapir]

i threw it at the wall

because i cut myself bleeding on the switch puller

[glossy sandal]

[cunning anvil]

gamer issue

[glossy sandal]

probably the best thing I’ve read in this channel

thanks

[viscid tapir]

i have to say changing switches has been far more painful than building all custom pcs so far

also all switches started spilling lube all over my monitor when i pulled them out

[glossy sandal]

oh

what were you lubing?

[viscid tapir]

i tried removing stock keychron switches form v1 and v3

but i was lubing akko and boba

[glossy sandal]

they were box switches?

[viscid tapir]

yes they were impossible to remove

[glossy sandal]

those leak

[viscid tapir]

i broke literally half

they leak so much

[glossy sandal]

it’s well known to not lube box switches

[viscid tapir]

they were stock already factory lubed

because i bought prebuilt

also pins broke lol

one switch i pulled so hard to flew behind me through the window

i had to go get the switch to the bottom floor

[glossy sandal]

I don’t mean to sound rude but it’s probably the easiest thing ever

do you think you might’ve been doing something wrong?

[viscid tapir]

no depends on the keyboard i removed akko and boba easily

just could not remove keychron switches

i cut myself on switch puller the blood dripped down to my elbow

this has never happened to me doing anything for pc

[glossy sandal]

those have thinner pins

so I guess it makes sense

But wow you really did not have fun.

[viscid tapir]

i had to hold down keyboard with my forearms and pull

those stock switches were stuck in like they were soldered or glued

i kept wiggling and twisting them and some went out fine some refused to unpin on one side

they all kept breaking and i barely pushed pins in

[glossy sandal]

bro

you clip the top and bottom

Not the sides.

[viscid tapir]

those are top and bottom

[glossy sandal]

Ah

wow, rough.

[viscid tapir]

i saw pins go in and then they just broke

they were all the way in but for some reason switches still refused to get out

my friend got k8 and i got v3 and his just fell out

[cunning anvil]

combos //+ chords + tapdance

id imagine itd be a pain to learn

[onyx summit]

also gas on of my switches are very loose no matter what i do

[glossy sandal]

L

[onyx summit]

i tried multiple switches

it's just the windows key thats loose

[glossy sandal]

it's probably the plate

loose hole

[blissful dragon]

[glossy sandal]

No idea

[cunning anvil]

how many switches can you fit in an altoids tin

looks like 12+, though i wonder if its tall enough to house 2 chocs, top and bottom

[glossy sandal]

are you okay

[cunning anvil]

just thinking

like 12 keys is enough for a really messed up asetniop layout

[glossy sandal]

that is so

[royal patrol]
