Type of switch don’t mean shit

#

Tactiles and linears can each feel 1 million types of ways

Depending on the switch and the spring and the lubing

i have maybe 1-2 hours of keyboard knowledge

sturdy hatch

#

i mean if youre not in need of anything else why not spend it?

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

save it?

boreal rivet
#

instead of spending it on 13 keyboards

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

invest it then

#

don't even have to buy stocks

sturdy hatch
#

Then it’s in investments and you can’t spend it

boreal rivet
#

even a nice watch could be a good investment

#

you can liquidate investments though?

cunning anvil
#

is keyboard experience not an investment?

boreal rivet
#

what is keyboard experience going to help you with life

#

how to deal with software engineers who have too much money to spare?

big rip

boreal rivet
#

I'm not big into watches myself but like 30 minutes of googling will give you a few good options

sturdy hatch
#

If it ever gets damaged investment gone

boreal rivet
#

most of them don't really sell for that price, but even if they did 1k is not much tbh

boreal rivet
#

some people prefer worn watches lol

median slate
#

its also really close the the mic :P

cunning anvil

id rather get a cheap smartwatch i can hack around with

and in any case just get it polished 🤷‍♀️

sturdy hatch

#

imma plug my heaset in and see if that fixes it

boreal rivet

yeah you really don't know shit about watches huh

sturdy hatch

its not like keyboards where a small ass scratch can depreciate something greatly lmao

sturdy hatch
cunning anvil

wait that happens in keyboards? lmao

yes because most people have no idea what goes on in manufacturing and expect it to be perfect lol

nah I don't spend that much on them

median slate
sturdy hatch
#

But no u want to degrade someone because they have 13 keyboards

boreal rivet
#

its not like I spend most of my pay on them though?

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

thats the stupid part

median slate
#

i have also ordered some holy pandas cause hot swap switches

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

and that makes it okay to spend most of his pay on it huh

#

americans be like

cunning anvil
#

what else should someone spend on besides their hobbies

#

i have a one track mind

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

was the saying saving for a rainy day ever taught in schools?

sturdy hatch
#

Not like I don’t continue to work it’ll be a one time purchase

boreal rivet
#

this isn't about you though?

#

this is about the other dude spending most of his pay over an extended period of time on keyboards, with the rest likely going to living expenses

sturdy hatch
#

Ok? I’m not allowed to say that I’m doing the same thing

boreal rivet
#

but you aren't

cunning anvil
#

does saving not count as a "living expense"

boreal rivet
#

why would it

#

saving is saving

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

but will you be spending most of your income over a period of time on it?

sturdy hatch
#

Haven’t u spent money over a span of time on your hobbies @boreal rivet I never told u it was stupid

boreal rivet
#

I have of course but I haven't spent MOST of it lmao

boreal rivet
sturdy hatch
#

Not like I’ll have anything else to spend it on I’ll save some use some

No we can

but why thjo

sturdy hatch
#

I don’t like ass wholes who are jerks to ppl who enjoy their hobbies

boreal rivet
#

ah so is that why you can't look at my points objectively

#

thats fair

median slate
#

this is super unnecessary

sturdy hatch
#

Like telling a person what u enjoy doing is trash and you shouldn’t do it just because I said so

boreal rivet

its just common sense

That’s shot your only point

I guarantee a 17 year old kid who has spent most of his income on 13 separate keyboards does not save for jack shit other than to buy more keyboards

can somone please hear me out?

gloomy patrol

what do you ahve to say

sturdy hatch
boreal rivet
#

and that makes it not stupid to spend most of his money on 13 separate keyboards huh

if your parents dont mind you dropping money on 13 keebs they will be fine with investing

how are you going to talk shit about a hobby if you don't understand jack shit about it

this hobby has a lotta flaws but there are some gems worth sticking around for

sturdy hatch

u prob don’t know anything about keyboards

#

Nice one

cunning anvil

gas have you seen the latest pcb for katana like

sturdy hatch
#

My point exactly

boreal rivet
#

idk thats up to you to decide

glossy sandal
#

idk I trust mx’s opinion more than yours listeningtotwice

gloomy patrol
boreal rivet
#

I do know myself that I do though

median slate
#

What I have to say, is that if I think have a really good hobby I am super into, then I want to make the best purchasing decisions possible, so I have more money to invest on the hobby. However, how would someone learn besides through trial and error if nobody told them? You ask around, and asking stupid questions is par for the course. If you do not know something, you do not know it, until you do. You learn though many different way and the community for what you're doing is one of the best ways to learn about something. Now, if the community is harsh about you not knowing something (what happened to me) you wont want to get into it anymore, especially if you believe that you'll become like the one person you spoke to. IF you talk about it and people say there are better options, great! It isn't your personal goal (@boreal rivet), to make sure they absolutely maximize their budgets, and you shouldn't tell them to do the exact opposite (@sturdy hatch). These are both the extremes of the situation. I think that They could maybe not devote as much of their money as they possibly could to this, but then again, they're 17! They deserve to spend all the money they wish regardless of how outlandish it may seem! And nobody should ever have to tell them otherwise. The extreme budgeting would "make sense" if they also had to pay living expenses, but then again, it's their life, and you shouldn't do that to someone, regardless of how bad their decisions are. That is all.

@loud nova

So, I want to either foam or polyfill my keyboard, but I don’t know which to do.

A: What’s the difference between them?

B: what kind of foam is best? (If foam is better)

C: How much/thick should the material be?

amber tartan

A: it fills your keyboard, depends if you want the weight or not
B: EVA foam
C: thick enough to cover most of the gap from case to pcb

yeah that

you could also get less strong hand sanitizer that has water to reduce intensity rather than other sticky elements

Am i better off getting a wireless keyboard or is there no real performance difference between them?
Keychron K10 vs V6?

unkempt dome

Keychron use Bluetooth for it's wireless keyboard as far as I know ... when typing text you can notice some latency but it's text, it's not that important

For gaming yes avoid Bluetooth

amber tartan

it is recommended for general electronics cleaning

I don’t see why you’d get a full sized kb tho

cunning anvil

whats wrong with full size?

But def V6

cunning anvil
#

why have it take an extra usb port when you can just have it on your keyboard

hollow rain

also easier to use for when numbers are used in games and also doing math

is it off topic if i ask about mice here or is it too off?

*mouse

not the worst place to ask

How are the Keychron M1 mouse? and are there other decent and cheap mouse with detachable cables?

Looking for an upgrade from gaming keyboard I currently have. I think the switches are cherry reds lin. not entirely sure. tried looking for it but its discontinued. mainly for cod and wow. just feels slow when using this keyboard. looked up keyboard switches and saw about speed switches. not sure if I would be able to utilize speed switches. maybe I could. since these switches feel very slow when pressed down to me. but would like some recommendations to maybe to look into. please and thank you in advance.

i remember each time i went to get new glasses they specifically told me not to use isopropyl or ethanol on glasses

cunning anvil
#

pc 💀

viscid tapir
#

this is why every isopropyl bottle states it is meant for metal products

#

it is most common alcohol in engineering

cunning anvil
#

neat

#

I've much been using it on my uh

#

vape

#

ceramic metal and some kinda quartz?

#

haven't actual used it on glasses much

viscid tapir
#

glass is fine but lenses can be damaged

cunning anvil
#

yeah ik now

viscid tapir
#

material for lenses is much more sensitive to those products

#

previous glasses i owned became muddy

#

because surface level of glass got damaged

#

because i used to clean them with anything i got

#

people usually follow trends especially if they have not been told how alcohol reacts to plastic or metal in chemistry classes

cunning anvil
#

wait it reacts to metal?

viscid tapir
#

it does not react it is not reactive in this sense

#

but each elements reacts with each elements in a certain way not in sense of reaction but in sense of contact would be a better term

#

but it would react with fire

#

if this is what you meant

cunning anvil
#

i dont understand

glossy sandal
#

I donut undastand oh

cunning anvil
#

i love saying donut

viscid tapir
#

in short term just do not mix not compatible products together

glossy sandal
cunning anvil
#

isnt that kinda obv tho, dont mix incompatible stuff? seems confusion comes from not being intuitive which are compatible

viscid tapir
#

like oyu would think acid is fine with ceramic materials since it is far heavier and solid but acid destroy ceramic materials but does not destroy plastic materials

#

people to this day clean monitors with alcohol which damages them

glossy sandal
#

I destroy plastic materials with my teeth 🔥

cunning anvil
#

huh, idve expected acids to break down plastics, since its organic-y derived

viscid tapir
#

depends there are a ton of acids and bases but certain ones can be stored in plastic

glossy sandal
#

Revan how much citric acid can I eat before I have a stomachache

viscid tapir
#

depends on a person i am not able to eat anything sour because it gives me acid

gum is plastic

#

or was it rubber

viscid tapir
#

gums is plastic artificial yes

#

well gum is rubber

onyx summit
#

Depends on the gum

glossy sandal
#

I love chewing on plastic

viscid tapir
#

just a different term

#

not chewing one

anyone know how can i properly setup os detection in QMK to send one keycode on windows, and another on mac? such as cmd + spc for spotlight, and alt + spc for windows powertoys search. currently i have a custom keycode called SEARCH and check for it in a case block in process_user_record() but cant get it working using this https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_os_detection
i was wondering if anyone know of some code snippets I could look at.

Pro Tip: Mechanical Keyboards are overrated

chrome raft
#

its all personal preference really

fading iris
#

non of us really care

lusty oasis

#

i mean, it is the thing your touching the most, and some people need that

#

its all sensory preferences

boreal rivet
#

Not everyone requires high compute power tho?

chrome raft
#

plus if you have a more expensive keyboard than your monitor, buy a more expensive monitor too 😅

lusty oasis
#

to be fair

#

I am also an over spending degenerate

#

HOWEVER

#

Just not on my keyboard

#

I am literally currently using a $25 wireless keyboard from Amazon

#

But that's not my ideal or anything

#

I am just using it temporarily until I get a better one, I just need something for a short time.

#

I can't even hook my i9 13900k, 3090ti build to my monitor until I move some furniture and get rid of this couch

#

I have to hook it up to my old shitty 1080p samsung smart TV from like 2015 until I can make space for a desk, big or small

#

I unironically might buy a 4k TV before I can hook it up to a proper monitor

#

That's the build I'm finishing now. It's the first one I've ever built myself. It started much more modestly, however I got upgrade fever. I didn't spend as much on it as it claims though, I got the EVGA 3090ti brand new for a great price.

#

I don't know though, maybe I'll get into actual mechanical keyboards someday. By that, I mean building one myself, a more expensive one.

im taking all the internals out of a g502 and printing my own shell

isnt the g502 the wired version?

#

But thats cool

chrome raft
#

they have both

lusty oasis
#

do you not like the form of the g502?

#

like the shell

chrome raft
#

im dissasembling my wired, while using my wireless g502 daily

#

i like it, just want to make a gaming vertical ergo mouse

lusty oasis
#

Okay, and yeah I'm thinking about getting a g502 someday. I just thought there were different names for the wired/wireless versions, I just don't remember. Like I said with my PC setup that I'm going to have right now, I need a wireless setup at the moment

lusty oasis
chrome raft
lusty oasis
#

this form factor?linuth

chrome raft
#

yeah

#

ish

lusty oasis
#

I think I've seen those before, but it looks weird. Is it actually comfortable/easy using a mouse like that?

chrome raft
#

wont know till i try

lusty oasis
#

Oh I figured you had already used it if you were making one like that instead of buying it. Just seems like a lot of work if you don't know, but could be a cool hobby

chrome raft
#

there isnt a good one to buy (in my personal opinion)

#

hence why im making one

lusty oasis
#

Either way, there's been a lot of weird form factors over the years, and I do think that one is weird, however. Nothing can be worse than this shit.

Hey guys anyone know why when I disconnect my keyboard from my laptop and reconnect it it won't work only function keys work?? It's the same with all my items plugged in my type c hub. My laptop has windows 11

chrome raft
#

if its happening to everything in the hub, it might be the hub?

urban rock
muted karma
#

maybe you have an outdated version that has some bugs

chrome raft
#

especially if its something like a razor

#

would not blame a specific manufacturer

not like razer dell, hp etc make their own USB controllers

I have an Anker ergo mouse somewhere I don't know where it is though

#

I type more than I use my mouse though so an ergo keyboard would be a better bet for me

brave imp

I need help

viscid tapir
#

thank you juice and i completely agree i hope we can all respect and follow the rules and get along so we can continue talking about tech

brave imp
#

a friend got a keyboard

viscid tapir
#

interesting i always found mouse more important than keyboard to me

serene obsidian
#

I'm in need of a new keyboard to throw in my bag for my IT job and I'm trying to decide whether I should get a nuphy or keychron, or if I should just buy a cheapo amazon board and use that until I can afford something really nice.

brave imp
#

and is looking for keycaps

serene obsidian
#

Is that an RK61

brave imp
#

I have no clue

viscid tapir
#

it looks like rk to me

serene obsidian
#

I had one with blue switches I'm pretty sure they're compatible with most cherry style keycaps

#

I just didn't feel like spending money on customizing that board

brave imp
#

It's complicated, It's a stupid local pc component seller

#

From what I can understand they just put the CORTEK sticker on stuff

serene obsidian
#

Actually I don't know if Cherry keycaps will work on that or not because of the raised edges around the cross stem

#

It may be proprietary

serene obsidian
#

They're advertising Kailh box switches on the cortek website

fading iris
#

unless it’s one of those type writer style keycaps

fading iris
#

And like what kinda layout are you looking at

serene obsidian
#

Could be either, the cheap ones I'm looking at are low profile and layout doesn't really matter too much although I do like 60% boards

unkempt dome
#

if you get cherry profile keycaps you might have interference between the keycap and switch with the third row

#

besides that if the layout is standard most kit that is not cherry would fit

Okay nice keyboard channel

#

Im thinking of building a keyboard this summer but uh youtube videos aint helping. Where can i buy a case first of all and whats the cheapest you can go with a case

robust hemlock
#

what size keyboard?

deep pivot
#

75

robust hemlock
#

keychron has good but affordable barebones kits for most sizes

#

i assume you're talking wired, so v series

deep pivot
#

I have no idea what you said

muted karma
#

Depends on your budget

#

But also in a few months they can change options

robust hemlock
#

I have the V1 and like it very much. I got mine fully assembled and swapped out portions later

#

I have a mix of lubed akko jelly black and k pro red switches

deep pivot
#

So that keyboard in the image came with a kit?

#

And if yes does it come with everything you need?

muted karma
#

You can buy all keychron boards fully assembled

robust hemlock
#
Keychron | Wireless Mechanical Keyboards for Mac, Windows and Android

Keychron V1 is a fully customized 75% layout compact mechanical keyboard packed with all premium features and endless possibilities. The V1 allows customizable capabilities for every key switch, keycap, knob, and stabilizer. It’s made for your personalized experience and a more comfortable typing experience.

deep pivot
robust hemlock
#

but you can buy just the case and pcb. Then just add your own switches and keycaps

muted karma
robust hemlock
#

is $100 expensive?

muted karma
#

Is much cheaper than building it yourself

#

Price gap is like 20-30$ iirc

deep pivot
#

I mean thats kind of a lot

robust hemlock
#

it really isnt

deep pivot
#

And if 100 is the cheapest way to go i guess so

#

I was trying to make one with 50 bucks

muted karma
#

For that money you will struggle getting switches

robust hemlock
#

if you think $100 is alot for a board then you prolly should avoid building your own because they get more expensive fast

deep pivot
#

Ig

robust hemlock
#

you can do it for $50 but you're going to be cutting lots of corners and its going to sound and feel worse than an OEM board at that price

deep pivot
#

Okay so what sites are best for parts?

robust hemlock
#

if youre at $100 then id really do think you should grab a V1 like mine and start there

#

IMO, but my experience is limited

#

though you reminded me i need a better switch puller so i dont kill more switches...

deep pivot
#

Uh

#

Okay think ill get a barebone there

mossy nimbus
#

How do I get access to gen chat

deep pivot
#

Okay so the barebone V1 comes with everything other than switched and keycaps. Guess thats pretty good. I guess i also have to install the stabilizers

robust hemlock
#

it comes with stabs

deep pivot
#

Oh ok

#

Guess they are lubed

robust hemlock
#

also if you have amazon prime it might shift faster off amazon then off their site

robust hemlock
deep pivot
#

Oh well

#

Uh do they ship to romania doe

mossy nimbus
#

So much thock cream keyboard love so much key cream

Around how much time does it take to lube

#

Switches

mossy nimbus
#

1 billion years

#

It takes my like tres hours

#

For ~90 switches

#

Lubing and filming

#

tres or quatro maybe

robust hemlock
#

you can get pre-lubed switches if you're lazy like me

#

or just don't have time (also me)

mossy nimbus
#

What switches are you lubing

#

like realistically expect ~4 hours

🔼

deep pivot

Also can you use a normal brush for lubing?

muted karma

you want a very small one at least

robust hemlock
deep pivot
#

Finally a use for my uhhhh...

deep pivot
robust hemlock
#

why?

#

the whole point of custom boards is to break out of the cherry ecosystem for pretty much everything else

#

i mean they're fine but you can get so many other switches

#

or clones that are cheaper

muted karma
#

but cherry switches need a lot of effort to get them good

#

something like gaterons are way easier to get good

deep pivot
robust hemlock
#

akko has some good switches too

#

i have the jelly blacks

deep pivot
#

What u recommend for gamingM

#

?

#

Also something that isnt FUCKING CLICKY

#

Like my keyboard rn

robust hemlock
#

switches are highly personal

muted karma
#

eh

#

somewhat

robust hemlock
#

linears are typically best for gaming but besides that you have 1000s of options

muted karma
#

but with a 50 dollar budget you are very limited anyways

robust hemlock
#

it was just a figure of speech

#

he said hes getting v1 barebones iirc

muted karma
#

just buy v1 preassembled

#

you won't beat that in price

robust hemlock
#

tbh that^

muted karma
#

whatever aftermarket switches and caps you get will be more than going with the preassembled one

#

it's a 20 dollar difference

#

for switches and caps

#

both of which are decent quality

robust hemlock
#

get the k pro red and whichever case or knob version and then customize later once you get a feel for what you want/like

muted karma
#

^

robust hemlock
#

which is exactly what i did

#

also i will note that the windows key on my stock keycaps was printed backwards...

#

lol

mossy nimbus
muted karma
#

just get the gateron pro reds the v1 comes with

#

completely fine switch

#

does not need extra lube

deep pivot
deep pivot
#

Stock ones

deep pivot
muted karma

it's 20 dollars extra

but includes switches and keycaps

#

#

Ill end up spending more?

tbf you always spend more on customs because youll be swapping things eventually 🙂

muted karma

not necessarily

mossy nimbus
#

Instead of swapping

#

Just get more keyboards

robust hemlock
#

lol, then whats the point of hot-swap then?

mossy nimbus
#

Quicker disassembly and reassembly I guess

#

I need hotswap because I always take my switches out

#

To put them back in again

#

I just find it fun

robust hemlock
#

oh i disassembled some red switches alright... the tiny switch puller is not great

#

lol RIP like 12 switches

mossy nimbus
#

robust hemlock
#

yeah...

#

at least they were cheap switches

deep pivot

But wtf do i do with the spare keycaps

Why not ?

muted karma
deep pivot
#

As soon as im getting it im switching them

just keep the stock keycaps as spares or sell them then

#

And shipping aint that bad

#

what

What im saying is its cheaper to get it shipped from outside the country than inside

Also is there like a white keyboard?
