[glacial marten]

but thats what I only knew 6 years ago

[glossy sandal]

all is well

[fair tulip]

Do you want a full size keyboard? A TKL keyboard or even smaller?

https://keychron.com

[glossy sandal]

let’s try not to recommend anything just yet

jerry is still telling us what he wants

[glacial marten]

oh sorry uh

I dont really mind anything, I rarely use the dpad and arrow keys

I might use delete and end from time to time

[glossy sandal]

would you like a 60%?

[glacial marten]

thats like my 99% uses

60% is without those right?

[glossy sandal]

without arrows

[glacial marten]

I went already to their website dont worry haha

[glossy sandal]

60% is mods and alphas and numrow

[glacial marten]

mods and alphas?

after googling I have discovered what alphas is

whats mods though

[glacial marten]

after using my brain also I have discovered you mean control and shift and shit

[glossy sandal]

Yeah sorry I was trying to find an image

[glossy sandal]

you might like 65%

[glacial marten]

oh the 75% one looks nice

[glossy sandal]

ok

[glacial marten]

the programming software uses function keys from time to time so I wouldnt like missing them

[glossy sandal]

You can access them

FN + 1-0

but if you want physical ones I can understand

[glacial marten]

oh no I can work with that no problem

most likely

so 65% or 75% seems good

[glossy sandal]

yeah tons of 75% options

do you have a budget in mind?

[glacial marten]

uhhhh I would like around 100 tbh but I could go above that if I like the product

if its going to last for years I dont really care since I will be using it a fuckton anyway

[glossy sandal]

why would I recommend E-waste

[glacial marten]

(I dont see a delete button on the 65% one, I hope theres a shortcut for it)

[glossy sandal]

you can put delete on the keyrow on top of the arrows

[glacial marten]

you can change the key functionality?

[fair tulip]

https://www.keychron.com/collections/custom-keyboards/products/keychron-v1-qmk-via-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40026442563673 you could combine these with switches & keycaps from aliexpress, and you might just end up below 100$

[glacial marten]

oh those

ok

[fair tulip]

But you probably won’t get PBT keycaps for that price

[glossy sandal]

the keys here aside from the right arrow key aren’t set in stone

[glacial marten]

I meant 100 euros or pounds so the budget is more like 120-130$

yeah I never used the page up or down shit anyway

[glossy sandal]

you have 4 free keys you can put anything on

[glacial marten]

nice

[glossy sandal]

delete, print screen, etc

[glossy sandal]

Yes

you can use something called layering which basically changes your layout temporarily

[glacial marten]

I might look more for a 75% one because I put 2 discord macros on my numpad - and + key which I like

unless you have a more clever solution

[fair tulip]

A separate numpad for macros e.e

Nah jk

[glossy sandal]

Are you down to read a little?

[glacial marten]

yes?

[glossy sandal]

ok

https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_layers.md

[fair tulip]

I’ll let you handle this @glossy sandal

[glacial marten]

oh reading

[glossy sandal]

it’s short and tells you what layering is

[glacial marten]

yeah dont worry I am doing that right now

[glossy sandal]

this is probably easier to read

https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/layer-lock/index.html

[fair tulip]

Ask ChatGPT to summarize it and to explain it to you in a simpler way

[glossy sandal]

since the GitHub article goes into the technical stuff

[glacial marten]

and I add a script like this to cron or something?

[glossy sandal]

Cron?

[glacial marten]

crontabs?

it runs on start up

anyway

[glossy sandal]

yeah, I’m unsure

[glacial marten]

the 75% keyboard would be ideal to be honest because my keyboard is 100% right now and any smaller size will do honestly

unless the price difference warrants everything

[glossy sandal]

Understood

You’re not interested in building a custom correct?

[glacial marten]

nope

https://www.keychron.com/collections/normal-profile-keyboards/products/keychron-k2-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

this looks nice

[glossy sandal]

do you like exploded boards?

[glacial marten]

what now boards?

[glacial marten]

oh no this is for mac

yikes

[glossy sandal]

Keychron boards have a switch that can be used to switch between mac and windows

[glacial marten]

dont really care if it is or not

[glossy sandal]

Ok

[glacial marten]

if I spend a day with it I will get used to it

[glossy sandal]

is there anything else

Like wirelessness?

or rgb or whatever

[glacial marten]

dont know if that adds delay or not but I prefer to not charge my keyboard or change batteries so wired

[glossy sandal]

awesome

[glacial marten]

rgb would be nice but I couldnt give a shit, backlit is also nice

[chrome mauve]

win keycap is included

[glossy sandal]

I’ll pull up two options I’ve got in mind

One last question

Do you need a regional layout or anything?

[glacial marten]

uhhhhhh

not really, I just use qwerty

does that matter?

oh sorry

[glossy sandal]

Can you send me a picture of your current keyboard?

[glacial marten]

US layout is what I use

[glossy sandal]

US ANSI?

[glacial marten]

@ on 2

uhhhhh

wait

does this help

wait

I will get a better one

[glossy sandal]

Yes that’s helpful

Thank you

No it’s okay

[glacial marten]

oh alright

because I pulled it out of my ass

[glossy sandal]

where are you from

the EU?

[glacial marten]

yes

[glossy sandal]

okay

One second

Do you want a specific color or is black fine

[glacial marten]

I like the cool color combinations if I can choose

but anything will do

its pitch black all day in my room anyway

I wont be able to tell the difference half the time

are you constructing the best customer experience right now

[glossy sandal]

Here’s the first option I had in mind https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-pro-qmk-via-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40336733503577, here is the second https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q1

[glossy sandal]

It’s because a vendor in the EU doesn’t have black in stock or grey so I was wondering if you’d like blue

the two I’ve linked above ship from China so they won’t be as speedy in delivery

[glacial marten]

ruh roh

any switches you would recommend or is it whatever

[glossy sandal]

2 weeks or so is the expectation

from china*

[glacial marten]

the first one is wireless though

[glossy sandal]

Reds will be the closest thing to what you own right now

[glossy sandal]

It’s wireless but you can use it wired

[glacial marten]

oh

[glossy sandal]

I would honestly pick the second one but you liked the layout on the 1st

[glacial marten]

I thought after all those questions you missed out on me saying no wireless

yeah I like the first one more

maybe its because I have never had a compact layout before who knows

[glossy sandal]

maybe you’ll like it, who knows

I personally hate compact layouts

so clustered

[glacial marten]

hmmmm

I dont like the huge "borders" on the second one thats why I am not interested

is the QMK thing for the layers?

[glossy sandal]

top one has the option for aluminum while second is full but the difference between the two is the top one is aluminum sheets bent on top of a plastic case

[glossy sandal]

Yes, qmk/via

via is a lot easier to use so I would suggest using that

[glacial marten]

well if I have a 75% one I dont really need to use it

[glossy sandal]

and if you don’t feel like downloading anything you can use vial

[glacial marten]

in case something has faster shipping

because I am a bit impatient regarding orders

[glossy sandal]

hmm.

[glacial marten]

I will have a look too but I doubt it

[glossy sandal]

Here’s the German site

https://keychron.de/products/keychron-q1-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard-version-2

which ships out of a warehouse in Germany so shipping should ideally be faster.

theres this too?

[glossy sandal]

Ah yeah

I forgot keychron is on Amazon

[glacial marten]

the 50 billion keywords so they hit search results make me die inside a little bit

[glossy sandal]

Yeah it’s tough selling on Amazon

[glacial marten]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keychron-Ultra-Slim-ISO-UK-Layout-Low-Profile-Windows-Version/dp/B09K3NLJP7/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1676138593&sr=8-4&srs=17676634031&th=1

this has the shorter keycaps

dont know if they feel extra shit or not

[glossy sandal]

here’s this too

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keychron-Mechanical-Programmable-Hot-swappable-Compatible/dp/B09TXCVSS7/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2YMQOKNQBVPPX&keywords=keychron+q1&qid=1676138759&sprefix=keychron+q%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-1

it’s a bit pricy but it’s bulletproof

(not literally)

[glacial marten]

yeah sure buddy

250 quid for fuck all I need

the knob looked interesting and then I saw the price and thought maybe not

[glacial marten]

isnt this one the same one as the first thing you sent?

without the QMK/VIA thing

[glossy sandal]

It’s the non-pro version

which is kind of outdated and not really worth picking up

[glacial marten]

what is outdated supposed to mean

in a keyboard

[glossy sandal]

outdated features like plate mount stabs, north facing leds, no qmk/via support

[glacial marten]

hmmmm

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Keychron-Wireless-Mechanical-Hot-Swap-Enabled-Programmable/dp/B0BQJTBLF1/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=keychron+k2+pro&qid=1676139018&sr=8-3

which looks completely different if you scroll down

[glacial marten]

in hindsight maybe 2 weeks of wait is acceptable

amazing gif, I am borrowing it for future use

[glossy sandal]

Yeah, imagine if you ordered before lny

[glacial marten]

lny?

[glacial marten]

are these things really that bad

[glossy sandal]

lunar new year

[glacial marten]

does that matter in supply?

[glossy sandal]

workers go on holiday

So nothing gets shipped for a while

[glacial marten]

oh

holidays

[glossy sandal]

to me, someone who cares, they are.

I don’t think they would be to you though

[glacial marten]

probably

not sure how much it affects the quality so I cant say

[glossy sandal]

The quality is a bit better on the newer boards

the keycaps are also better

It’s really up to you

if you want to wait or if you want it now.

[glacial marten]

it depends on my patience with this broken piece of shit keyboard

it just randomly decides e to break and press 50 times or no times at all

and its really annoying when writing

[glossy sandal]

shoddy build quality.

do you write professionally?

[glacial marten]

well no I am a university student

so kind of yes?

when I get a job I guess

[glossy sandal]

🪂

[glacial marten]

how do you know it will take 2 weeks to ship?

[glossy sandal]

because that’s the average I’ve seen from China to the US

[glacial marten]

ruh roh

[glossy sandal]

I’m unsure about how it is to the UK

[glacial marten]

they dont tell you until later how much time it will take?

[glossy sandal]

you can look at the shipping in their site

go through all the steps of buying and it’ll show you shipping options

[glacial marten]

yeah I did

[glossy sandal]

[glacial marten]

fuck me

[glossy sandal]

I think the K2 you linked might be your best option if you really can’t wait

everything else I can think of ships from outside the UK

[glacial marten]

I just cannot be bothered checking every day for my order

its such a hustle because I need to stalk out the fucking delivery so I dont get robbed

[glossy sandal]

loveliest day in glasgow

[glacial marten]

you are close

but same deal

what will plate mount stabs affect

and north facing lights

I doubt my current keyboard lacks those

[glossy sandal]

Corsair boards have north facing lights yes

if mostly affects if you ever intend to change anything on your board aside from keycaps

[glacial marten]

I dont intend to change anything whatsoever

it will die the same way it was day 1

[glossy sandal]

poetic

then that should be all

[glacial marten]

what about the stabs thing

[glossy sandal]

I’m unsure how the keychron software is but it should function to rebind keys

[glacial marten]

I will order the first amazon link I sent then

goodbye piece of shit corsair garbage

[royal patrol]

you definitely know more about keyboards than i do audio

[glossy sandal]

can you remind me what that is again?

the Amazon link

[glacial marten]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keychron-Bluetooth-Mechanical-ISO-UK-Layout-Backlight/dp/B09NM6RSN3/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1676138593&sr=8-2&srs=17676634031&th=1

this I think

[glossy sandal]

Yes

that should be good for you then

[glacial marten]

thanks for everything

very helpful

[glossy sandal]

no problem

[glacial marten]

I will recommend to all my friends and family (2 people total) to come here and unnecessarily ask you random shit

[royal patrol]

based

[glossy sandal]

barbecue bacon burger

[royal patrol]

most of the time i disagree with the other people in that channel

[glacial marten]

it is gateron red switch

will I die of cringe or is it ok

[glossy sandal]

It is similar to the one in your current board

[glacial marten]

I hope it has lasting quality

anyway, I dont have many options so I will swallow the gateron redpill

[glossy sandal]

I can guarantee it will last atleast 2 minutes

[glacial marten]

at least 2 minutes?

is that how long you used them?

[glossy sandal]

No

I’ve used gateron reds a handful of times

nothing special, just a funny estimation on how long it would last

[glacial marten]

[glossy sandal]

it’ll last a while, don’t worry about it

[glacial marten]

if it breaks out of the box I am filing a lawsuit and I will write this gastrail mf told me they were good

thanks again though

[glossy sandal]

[open crow]

Who ate you sueing?

Gastil or gatheron?

[glossy sandal]

that isn't my name

[gloomy patrol]

Ok gastail

[glossy sandal]

I’ll make you astruh

[chrome raft]

milky yellow

[amber tartan]

nylon yellows are better

[chrome raft]

disagree

[amber tartan]

you have bad taste not my fault

[glossy sandal]

ill be the middleman, the nice rye

they're both good

nylon better though

[amber tartan]

;)

[glossy sandal]

[chrome raft]

i dont value your opinion whatsoever

[glossy sandal]

cries

[chrome raft]

[gloomy patrol]

i have built 2 boards

[glossy sandal]

i value your opinion below biggie's

[gloomy patrol]

[glossy sandal]

you value mine below biggies too?

[gloomy patrol]

yes

in biggie we trust

[glossy sandal]

i thouhgt we were fwends

[gloomy patrol]

i'll reconsider

if you get this right

what is the best switch

[glossy sandal]

jixian black

[gloomy patrol]

smh

[gloomy patrol]

.

[glossy sandal]

i lowkey do not fuck with milky yellows

i like nylon yellows more

but i like most things more when they're nylon so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gloomy patrol]

nylon good

at this point

if i am grabbing budget switches

its either gonna be the haimu geon blacks

[glossy sandal]

i need more 107

[gloomy patrol]

or jwick blacks

[glossy sandal]

why would you buy the haimu blacks

are those the silent ones

[gloomy patrol]

cheap gud long pole

fully nylon

[glossy sandal]

best budget switches

[gloomy patrol]

blurry ahh pic

[glossy sandal]

are you blind too

[opaque kayak]

Does anybody know of a keyboard that fulfills my needs?

My needs:
Full Size 100%
qmk/via
Low Profile
Silent

Nice to have:
Wireless
Knob

[glossy sandal]

doesn’t exist

[opaque shard]

Might as well make your own

[fair tulip]

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k5-ultra-slim-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39559178682457

Nvm, that one does not support QMK/Via.

But it's the closest thing on the market rn.

But you could design your own keyboard.

[amber tartan]

custom wire a qmk/via interface

[proud fossil]

Is it still possible to change the switches if the keyboard is not hotswappable ?

[amber tartan]

yes but you need to desolder them

[cunning anvil]

qmk/via and wireless

hmm

[fair tulip]

@opaque kayak

https://mkultra.click/chocolate-bar-keyboard-kit/

I found this on reddit

But it’s not full size

[warped tinsel]

how long does keychron take to restock

[opaque kayak]

Thanks for your recommendations. I'm going to take a look at them (:

[glossy sandal]

have you joined keychron discord?

[warped tinsel]

no

[glossy sandal]

join

they should have some info on restocks

[glossy sandal]

would look through here for vendors close to you

https://www.mechmap.tech/

[chrome raft]

Looking for this type of keyboard:

• ISO Nordic Layout
• Full size
• White/grey keyboard with at least mostly white keycaps
• Wireless with good battery life
• Seamless switch between devices.

[glossy sandal]

@chrome raft can we be friends

I bought your keyboard

[chrome raft]

Why

Also you must install milky yellows

[glossy sandal]

I bought it for a tenner

that’s why

[chrome raft]

If you do so, I’ll be your friend

[glossy sandal]

no

[chrome raft]

Milky yellows

[glossy sandal]

I’m not doing that

[chrome raft]

Milky yellows

@glossy sandal what switch then

[remote marsh]

What’s a good ten keyless keyboard under 80 bucks

[glossy sandal]

keychron v3

[glossy sandal]

this shit is ass

you use this daily?

[chrome raft]

ye

but milky yellows > all else

[glossy sandal]

this thing sucks balls

i need to sell this asap

the knob is wack too

[valid escarp]

Hyperx Alloy Core TKL (red switches)
Razer Blackwidow V3 TKL (yellow switches)

I'm between these 2, both are around the same price, which one do you recommend me buying?

[gloomy patrol]

both shit

dont get any

[valid escarp]

So what do you suggest for the price

[gloomy patrol]

whats your exact budget

[valid escarp]

100€

[gloomy patrol]

one of the v series prebuilts

[valid escarp]

Can you send me some link?

[gloomy patrol]

what

[boreal rivet]

Imagine taking someone dogging on your keyboard as a personal attack 💀

[chrome raft]

im just fucking around lol

[boreal rivet]

Mhm for sure

[chrome raft]

I want to build my own 75% keyboard (ten keyless) for under $80 where can I start

or if getting a keychron v1 would be better

[glossy sandal]

we’re so silly 🐛

also hi mx

[boreal rivet]

Sup

[glossy sandal]

I think I’ve narrowed down what board I buy next

[chrome raft]

which is?

[glossy sandal]

Kage tkl

[chrome raft]

?

[boreal rivet]

Keyboards 🥱

[glossy sandal]

yasss

[chrome raft]

which color

[glossy sandal]

black

I don’t own any black boards surprisingly

[glossy sandal]

!!!

[chrome raft]

ikr

[glossy sandal]

what else are we supposed to talk about!!

[chrome raft]

keyboards

[glossy sandal]

if not a Kage tkl, a kfe ce

these suck

[chrome raft]

i like the color and the (font?)

[glossy sandal]

also clones 🐛

[chrome raft]

why?

shit abs?

[glossy sandal]

because the legending sucks and they’re thin cheap abs

[chrome raft]

ah

teach me the ways

[glossy sandal]

also ik texture is preference but they feel like shit

[chrome raft]

what is that model?

[boreal rivet]

Thickness doesn’t matter

[glossy sandal]

That’s a Kage tkl

[chrome raft]

kage tkl

[glossy sandal]

they’re like 1.2

literally can see leds through them

[boreal rivet]

My realforce is like 1

Unless you use leds they really don’t matter

[glossy sandal]

thin caps can be good but these are just bad

[boreal rivet]

I know

[glossy sandal]

like the taihao ones which are thin asf but pretty good

[chrome raft]

link?

[glossy sandal]

the taihao alps ones*

[glossy sandal]

You can’t buy it

not from an official vendor anyways

[boreal rivet]

They fucked up the layout for iso I think

[glossy sandal]

they’re being sold on aftermarket for 600$~

[boreal rivet]

It doesn’t work for most iso plates

[glossy sandal]

rip

[chrome raft]

^^

[glossy sandal]

A Kage tkl would certainly be better than a keychron v1

But it’s also 600$ for the base keyboard vs 80$~ for the entire keyboard

[glossy sandal]

honestly don’t build if your budget is this low

[chrome raft]

that low FOR A KEYBOARD

[glossy sandal]

nothing is really worth it when building a custom at this price point

[chrome raft]

i'm not paying 500$ for a keyboard

[glossy sandal]

if all you see it as is a keyboard then why bother with a v1

buy a office board

[chrome raft]

I still want a mechanical one

that feels good

to type

[glossy sandal]

ok

V1 will work

[boreal rivet]

Model m

[glossy sandal]

buy that

[chrome raft]

and needs to be 75%

so v1 works

[glossy sandal]

yup

[chrome raft]

I might mod the keycaps at some point in time

what would be a option

[glossy sandal]

Keychron v1

also what do you mean by mod the keycaps

[chrome raft]

change them

[glossy sandal]

if you buy caps that fit a v1 then there will be no issue

[chrome raft]

for ones that are more "square"

[glossy sandal]

happy purchasing

[chrome raft]

thx

what are some good caps that aren't priced insane

[glossy sandal]

[chrome raft]

thx

[chrome raft]

[glossy sandal]

hq?

[chrome raft]

high quality

[glossy sandal]

yeah they’re solid

[chrome raft]

do they effect the sound at all?

[chrome raft]

and what switch is the best from 2 options

keychron K pro red

or brown

[chrome raft]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NRK5B3L/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A3QYV6D7K7553X&psc=1

how are these keycaps?

milky yellows >

[chrome raft]

are they hq

[chrome raft]

they're very high quality

the keycaps

the best in the business

[glossy sandal]

Preference

browns have a small bump to let you know when the switch has actuated

[glossy sandal]

they’re a different profile and thickness and etc to the stock ones on keychron boards, so yes they will affect sound

[tidal charm]

where the mice channel

[glossy sandal]

there’s a lot more to keyboards than mice

[amber tartan]

theres a lot more switches on a keyboard than mice

hi

[quartz laurel]

Hello! Looking to buy a wireless mechanical (productivity) keyboard. Doubting about switches, and typing. Would be office keyboard and considering a keychron k8 pro or an Akko 3098. Quetstion - does anyone have experience with the Akko keys? currently using cherry red switches and they are a bit too loud

[unkempt dome]

if you get akko switches you should get the new haze pink as they are silent linear and would probably suit your need quite well

https://en.akkogear.com/product/akko-haze-pink-silent-switch-45pcs/

[quartz laurel]

nice, i'll have a look thanks!

[glossy sandal]

wagabagabobo

[unkempt dome]

I don't quite know what that means

[glossy sandal]

does anyone here actually like keyboards

this is such a nerdy thing to be interested in

[unkempt dome]

I've always been a nerd

Just a selective nerd

[amber tartan]

nope im just flipping boards for money

im paying off my uni debt

[unkempt dome]

I like keyboard but not to the point of paying 500$ just for a case ... at that price I'll just machine one myself

[glossy sandal]

imagine saying the actuation in this switch is 45g and it’s using a sharp d shaped bump

when it’s literally the size of my eye

makes no sense

[unkempt dome]

Which switches ?

[glossy sandal]

it’s an example

[glossy sandal]

what a bad pie

[unkempt dome]

Ok ... cause I was confused a bit

[amber tartan]

no im a sigma male making my gains bro hmu at @keyboardgains

[glossy sandal]

do you shower in 105 early in the morning

[amber tartan]

no unfortunately i like to sleep for longer

[glossy sandal]

you more of a honk shoe or a honk mimimimi kinda pie

[amber tartan]

and i rarely ever get enough sleep already

[amber tartan]

i dont snore

[glossy sandal]

so a honk shoe

[amber tartan]

yeah maybe

[glossy sandal]

@unkempt dome you?

[unkempt dome]

?

[glossy sandal]

it’ll cost around that much depending on complication if you’re going to a manufacturer

[unkempt dome]

I'm a machinist

[glossy sandal]

ah

neat

[unkempt dome]

I can make the knc program and make it myself if I borrow/buy time on a machine

[glossy sandal]

I wish I had cnc machines to play with

I would’ve made so much funny bakeneko designs

[unkempt dome]

Same

it's the first machine that is expensive to get
When you get one then you can make money with it and repay it

[glossy sandal]

yeah I guess since they’re meant for industrial use and not hobbyists

[unkempt dome]

There's always some cheap stuff like king canada but those are more like glorified press drill and not cnc but conventional machines

But I could probably make something decent for myself with that

[glossy sandal]

I want to make some funny designs 🪂

but they’d be so expensive to manufacture

[unkempt dome]

The more complicated, the more expensive it gets indeed

[chrome raft]

[boreal rivet]

how the hell would I know

[glossy sandal]

🤯

[dense flare]

can i hotswap with Keychron K2v2?

I just found out theres a hotswappable version of the K2 so im wondering can i hotswap with a basic K2v2

[dense flare]

Really wanna get new switches for my current kb since it has Gateron Blues in it

[chrome mauve]

Looks like one of those keypads people use in osu

[spare granite]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/VENGEANCE®-K70-Fully-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Anodized-Black-—-CHERRY®-MX-Red/p/CH-9000011-NA

[glossy sandal]

does anyone actually use a osu macropad

seems so gimmicky

[rare sphinx]

so i got a new KB, the wooting 60HE 1ms polling, and 0.1 mm actuation and i have to say it made a bigger difference than reducing my system latency to 15ms on my mouse and can't stop playing MW2

[glossy sandal]

hope you're having fun

[boreal rivet]

No shit

[glossy sandal]

be nice mx

pl;ease

[boreal rivet]

Your actuation is set at 0.1mm LMAO

[glossy sandal]

actually mx now that you're here

do you know of any articles that explain the physical properties of sound

[boreal rivet]

let me see

[glossy sandal]

thanks youi!!!!

[boreal rivet]

its more about optimising loudspeakers but the concepts taught should be what you're looking for

[glossy sandal]

can i ask you any questions if i have a question

[boreal rivet]

about this? no

I've only skimmed through it

[glossy sandal]

general questions about the physical properties of sound

not the article specifically

[boreal rivet]

not qualified to give any advice on that

[glossy sandal]

crying

[boreal rivet]

anyway the book should have all the info you need

[glossy sandal]

ok thanks again

you saint you

[boreal rivet]

[dark trout]

Just got a keychron k8 pro

[gloomy patrol]

big ups

good buy

[glossy sandal]

can you name it Jimothy please

[chrome raft]

Any recommendations for a wireless mouse that can be paired to multiple devices and switch between them seamlessly?

[fair tulip]

logitech go brrr

[rapid basalt]

Hey I'm wondering if the keyboard below (Keychron V4 and V1) is a good pick? I'd probably purchase V2 off keychron.com.au however the Australian site has nothing in stock and I live elsewhere so shipping is going to make it cost more anyways.
If there are supposedly better options; preferably 60%, 65% and in the same price range. I've had a look and not much besides keyboards from Akko/epomaker.
https://amzn.asia/d/hCBqizF https://amzn.asia/d/3gDF9dj

[amber tartan]

keyboarf

[boreal rivet]

when it comes to keychron just buy it from taobao if you can

[rapid basalt]

Wait fr?

[boreal rivet]

yes its way cheaper

about 33%

[rapid basalt]

Hmm idk how much longer I can hold out with my broken keyboard without a u key.

[rapid basalt]

Ik I could however I really don't want it to arrive broken.

[boreal rivet]

why would it?

[rapid basalt]

Could just be lower quality/ manufacturing defect.

[boreal rivet]

they're all made in china LMAO

[rapid basalt]

Also back to my other point.

[boreal rivet]

The seller is literally keychron themselves as well

[rapid basalt]

Hmm idk how much longer I can hold out with my broken keyboard without a u key.

[boreal rivet]

not my problem

just giving you options

[rapid basalt]

I understand thanks.

[amber tartan]

keyboarding soon

[untold orchid]

Mx master if its not for gaming

[glossy sandal]

why are you buying off aus site when you live outside of aus

[earnest orbit]

Hey guys, i Just want to ask you whats your opinion to switching from Ducky One 2 Mini to One 3 Mini or One 3 SF?

[glossy sandal]

not a huge upgrade

ducky boards are really lackluster

[earnest orbit]

Ah Ok, like i got Huntsman Mini too so its not about performance. I Just want to have Hotswap keyboard. But maybe I’m gonna make Custom keyboard instead of buying some

[glossy sandal]

if hotswap is all you need, it’s a fine board

just be aware that regardless of what switch you put in it, a mediocre board will still be a mediocre board

[earnest orbit]

Already thinking about build some but dont know what switches are the best for me. Like it really making me to take the Blue switches, but i dont know.

[glossy sandal]

you’ve changed profile pictures twice

what

[earnest orbit]

😂

The first picture was really vulgar

[glossy sandal]

honestly up to you

switches are preference, if you like what you’re using now

keep using that.

I mean the type of switches not the board*

[earnest orbit]

Like I gotCherry MX Red and Razer Optical Red and I really want to try something new. And I want to try clicky switches.

[glossy sandal]

mmm

for the price I would honestly suggest a monokei standard

pretty solid board

[earnest orbit]

Ok I will look at it

[glossy sandal]

Maybe you’d like tactiles

people tend to like clickies for a short bit and then get tired of their audible click

then again you could always swap them out, seeing as the board is hotswap

[earnest orbit]

I know it’s gonna make me irritated soon and it’s why i love to have hotswap.

[rare sphinx]

typing is hard but gaming isnt

[glossy sandal]

it’s actually easier

just use a comfortable actuation point lmao

[rare sphinx]

kthat ios why im making a gaming profile as wqe speak

[glossy sandal]

Yeah, you seem like you’d really need that LMAO.

[oak fractal]

Hey guys, have you ever encountered a problem where some of your keys lose RGB and instead of all colors , they only show 1-2 of them?

[urban panther]

A friend asked ai to write a story about me and a keyboard

no

not in this universe

[olive sedge]

There are 281 A10s, actually. 260 active.

[urban panther]

F22 has the most confirmed balloon kills

[grizzled harness]

lets use these "next generation fighters"

if you get that reference i love you

[olive sedge]

F35B go brrr

SR72 spy plane go brrr

[glossy sandal]

why is it such a big deal again

[olive sedge]

We keep clicking on overclocking

[glossy sandal]

that the channel was moved

[chrome raft]

i been thinking of getting akko royal purples

[olive sedge]

First they stole #my-rig
Then they stole #pc-hardware
Now they're trying to incorporate us into #tech-chat-1 and #tech-chat-2 , which we are not

[glossy sandal]

Akko switches are mid

[chrome raft]

what do you like

[urban panther]

they're cheap and get the job done

[glossy sandal]

so do jwick blacks

[chrome raft]

how long until build a pc merges with tech chat 1

[glossy sandal]

which are cheaper lol

[olive sedge]

no
no
please gods no

[chrome raft]

how much are jwick blacks / switch

[glossy sandal]

Like 18$ for 70

idk like .23$ per switch

[chrome raft]

oh nice

[glossy sandal]

Nylon is nice

I love nylon switches

[chrome raft]

do you like nylon yellows

[glossy sandal]

Sure

[chrome raft]

do you have an all time favorite switch?

[glossy sandal]

probably mx blacks

they’re what I default to

if I can’t find a switch that fits well into whatever I’m building

[chrome raft]

lubed?

[glossy sandal]

lubed with gpl 107 and 105

spring swapped and filmed

usually 62g springs

[chrome raft]

nice

i might have to try those sometime

[glossy sandal]

they’re a lot of work

[chrome raft]

whats the difference betweent gpl 107 and 105

[glossy sandal]

definitely don’t use them stock

[chrome raft]

im fine with that lol

[glossy sandal]

different ratios of the lubed combined so different consistency and qualities

[chrome raft]

oh

[glossy sandal]

107 is thicker and 105 is thinner

they’re both oils

[chrome raft]

interesting

[glossy sandal]

105 for the spring, 107 for everything else

[chrome raft]

why is 205g0 the quintessential linear lube

[glossy sandal]

Because you can use it on everything

also has a particular sound to it that people like

also generally easier to apply imo

[nimble sphinx]

can someone make that into a escape cap

but for my razer membrane keyboard

[glossy sandal]

pay me

[nimble sphinx]

how much

[glossy sandal]

but you could do it yourself actually

you’d need to learn how to dyesub

[nimble sphinx]

i have barley anyclue on how to us ms paint

[glossy sandal]

put picture on thing

apply heat

boom

[nimble sphinx]

i might give it ago

[blissful dragon]

id get the v2

but thats just me

[glossy sandal]

this question was answered in a different server

[boreal rivet]

fomo

and people get gaslighted into liking it

[glossy sandal]

sounds like a good way to get mixed opinions and not decide on a board @chrome raft

happy purchasing

[glossy sandal]

hey…I like it.!!

only for wires though, don’t like it on anything else

[boreal rivet]

honestly its a good lube

just overrated

[glossy sandal]

I use 107

[boreal rivet]

to an extreme degree

[glossy sandal]

I <3 thick oils
