Tactiles and linears can each feel 1 million types of ways
Depending on the switch and the spring and the lubing
nah
Or would you rather I open a thermometer and drink it?
Neither
Fym nah💀
ooh, i got one, placing a ball of lead through my brin stem?
ive not tried enough tactiles to have a thought on them
Alr, finally an answer
:)
factorio edition
Mf thinks I’ve been into keyboards for only 100 hours That’s crazy fr
I'd estimate you're at about 8-9 hours
also reasonable
chill my g
factorio so fun, also I didn't notice that lol
mf thinks imma stay alive for over a week 💀
Mf acting like different switches all feel the same
I dont know enough about keyboards to properly agreew with you
but probably
i ordered some holy pandas that arrive in abt a month
i am just starting into modding
nah you should listen to the loser who supposedly owns 13 keyboards lmao
as if that means anything
yeye'
liquid
like owning many keyboards is fine, whatever its your money
but imagine flexing the number
💀
I simply did not know that there werent really "types" of swtches
i knew they fell into catagories
but like, that aint a way to tell me
13 keyboards I’m guessing 100-400 for each one
bro
Most of my paychecks for the last 1-2 years
why
ain’t a flex just a show of how u waste ur money
ONG
wow you should not have said that
i have a 60 dollar K530 and its quite good for the week ive used it
pre lubed stabs and switchs
switches*
“You spent your paychecks on something you enjoy? What an idiot”
I built a keyboard was like 100 and I thought it was a lot for a keyboard sounds good tho
you're omitting the fact that you've spent MOST of it on your hobby
that is pretty damn stupid
Tf
That’s not bad I mean ppl who are into cars do the same thing pc ppl do it to
I’m 17 and my parents pay for gas clothes college food
if you're spending MOST of you cheques on a "hobby", its not a hobby anymore
I don’t need to save that money
Making models do that do
they stupid too tho
y’all salty ong
spending most of your pay on a hobby is just not smart
No they just like doing what they love to do if they have money left over why not use it 🤷♂️
yeah of course if its left over then sure
but this dude isn't doing that lol
I save half of my money of my paycheck to buy my pc is that stupid no just what I need to do to get it
yeah but do you do it for 2 years?
He doesn’t have anything to spend it on he’s 17
i mean if youre not in need of anything else why not spend it?
No I just started like a couple months ago
save it?
Exactly
instead of spending it on 13 keyboards
I mean yea but it’s just sitting there unless u invest it
Then it’s in investments and you can’t spend it
is keyboard experience not an investment?
what is keyboard experience going to help you with life
how to deal with software engineers who have too much money to spare?
imma share a sound test of this K530
its phone audio though
so not the best
but ye
good for you
Send it unlike the other guy who’s a dick I’ll listen to it
not every purchase in life needs to advance your life
A lot of watches don’t hold their value watches can also be a hobby as well
tris is the message I have decided to type out for my sound test :D
of course, just don't make every purchase like that y'know?
Exactly like a car is a depreciating asset u will never get what u paid for it
then do research and buy a watch that does?
you don't have to buy a grand seiko as a first watch
U mean watches that cost over 4k?
SARB017 is discontinued, rare, looks good, relatively affordable and increasing in value for example
I'm not big into watches myself but like 30 minutes of googling will give you a few good options
It’s also let’s see 1000 something in good condition
If it ever gets damaged investment gone
most of them don't really sell for that price, but even if they did 1k is not much tbh
Yea
some people prefer worn watches lol
its also really close the the mic :P
id rather get a cheap smartwatch i can hack around with
and in any case just get it polished 🤷♀️
Not much bro it’s a thing that goes on your wrist that just tells time does the same thing my phone does
imma plug my heaset in and see if that fixes it
yeah you really don't know shit about watches huh
It’ll still be not worth what it was
its not like keyboards where a small ass scratch can depreciate something greatly lmao
Bruh I have like 3 of them in very nice boxes so they don’t get damaged
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
Dude it’s keyboard and yes a scratch can depreciate a watch have you seen what the smallest imperfections can do to an extremely expensive Pokémon card
and are they all gshocks?
TCGs are different though, the cards are fragile as shit
its not like you can polish away a fray
Lmao no they are nice ass watches that where worth a lot of money when I bought them not some cheap 20 trash
What do u do with your money
"many things"
my hobbies and my education
Yet again I am typing out a message for the dicord to hear because I do not care :D
audio, plastic modeling, gaming and mice
Uh uh uh
Ok so all hobbies that aren’t investments
I’m guessing u have a lot of them to
nah I don't spend that much on them
FAR better mic quality
But no u want to degrade someone because they have 13 keyboards
its not like I spend most of my pay on them though?
That much ok bud either way ur doing the same thing but being a total ass about it
thats the stupid part
i have also ordered some holy pandas cause hot swap switches
Ok? He’s 17 and doesn’t need to money for anything else
yeye
I mean yea I’m about to spend the money iv been saving up for to buy my pc which is legit half my paycheck
was the saying saving for a rainy day ever taught in schools?
Yea not like I won’t have money left over?
Not like I don’t continue to work it’ll be a one time purchase
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
Ok? I’m not allowed to say that I’m doing the same thing
but you aren't
does saving not count as a "living expense"
But I am I saved over a period of time to buy something and I’ll continue to buy stuff for it so I can upgrade it
but will you be spending most of your income over a period of time on it?
Haven’t u spent money over a span of time on your hobbies @boreal rivet I never told u it was stupid
Yes
I have of course but I haven't spent MOST of it lmao
wow on a pc huh
Not like I’ll have anything else to spend it on I’ll save some use some
that is pretty stupid
Mhm it’s a hobby
Yea and your hobbies are pretty stupid ik guessing u have like 10+ mice well worth over 100+ each
GUYS, how about we all agree to disagree, and leave it at that, mk?
Ihave 3 :D
Oh two mice prob worth well over 200 for each
they're lit
*his 1.5k pc in the corner
Exactly and if u do that hope u had been saving some money
I did spend like 90 on a superglide pad but it'll last me pretty much forever, pretty worth
Ok now who’s making it about himself
what
YOU
I'm just adding on to your projection about my expenses in the mice hobby
No we can
but why thjo
I don’t like ass wholes who are jerks to ppl who enjoy their hobbies
this is super unnecessary
Like telling a person what u enjoy doing is trash and you shouldn’t do it just because I said so
its just common sense
What points? U don’t let ppl spend their money how they like?
That’s shot your only point
you are defending someone who literally cussed me out for not knowing a "basic thing"
My point is the way he was spending money is stupid as fuck
Honestly I couldn’t care because this mxidnjne prob does this crap daily
its less now because I only do it here and I've been quite busy
🍿
HIS MONEY who cares it’s not yours he’s got money to spend u don’t except that some people have more money then u
yeah but you see my point still stands
why don't you care? He's just doing the same thing that happened to me
yo gimme some of that
What point ppl can’t spend their own money do it doesn’t
your argument is literally just, FREEDOM HE CAN SPEND HOW HE WANTS BECAUSE ITS HIS MONEY EVEN IF IT IS STUPID
I’m not just defending him tho he does this to everyone
which just completely ignores my argument lol
Yes it is
Which is don’t spend YOUR money on the hobbies u like
This kinda makes me not want to get into keyboards :/
no, you can spend your money on hobbies
Just do it if u want to can’t let ppl stop ya
but if you spend most of it, then its really stupid
how is this so hard to understand?
Just not when u spend money after spending it the things that u have to
Most of it so he prob saves some and buys what he needs to them spends the rest
yeah and thats really stupid!!!
If you ask why, it's because if nobody is there to correct me (regardless of how critical), how else would I learn rather than asking a stupid question
No not if he’s saving it
If i make a bad purchasing decision without anybody telling me i coulld have saved some, how else would I know for the future
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
The more money I have, the more money I can invest into my new hobby
my money is on rich parents or shitty keyboards
and being young is the perfect time to start
Ok your talking a 17 year old who is in highschool and most likely only experiences is a car if anything
ok and
Exactly
no I don't get what you're trying to say here
can somone please hear me out?
He’s got nothing else to spend on he’s not old enough to build credit or invest without a parent
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
What if u liked keyboards as much as he did and someone was shit talking to u about iy
If u saw that I corrected it
is english your native language? just curious
Mhm I’m just typing with a thumb on a phone
wow
And it’s discord honestly don’t care what my spelling is like and auto correct is annoying as fuck it corrects fuck to duck to fock

So idc
@boreal rivet and answer this how would u feel not good huh? But no u avoided it because u know I’m right
With ur silence iv concluded iv won the argument thanks for your time 
ah no, I was just astounded by your terrible reading comprehension and grammar for a moment there
My discord grammar
to answer your question, I wouldn't really care
What are u the grammar police now
keyboards as a hobby is terrible
No u would
nah not really
As I said if it was yours you would
If I said mice or audio tech or whatever else your into was stupid u would be hurt
that sucks
which bit do you particularly hate abt it
only plastic modelling maybe
the community there is really wholesome
outside of scalpers
as always
Well that sounds stupid as shit u sculpt plastic
How did that make u feel hmmmm not good huh?
hi mx
over emphasis on sound, artificial scarcity, condoning of scalpers, and certain prominent community members being prominent
I also don't really like how most of them are sheep
all good points tbh
eh we mostly do painting and stuff like scribing blablabla
not what I expected you to bring up but good points
the plastic is premolded so no sculpting required
hi
Mhm see now your defending it because u like it and I said it was bad that’s how he felt
what’re you doin
I talk alot of stupid shit here but I've been in the hobby awhile lol
arguing with this bowie dude
He’s arguing with me about how spending money on hobbies is stupid when it’s your money
I kinda need to go and do my math work lol
Go ahead
keyboard hobby is built on consumerism it sucks 🔥
I'm just stating what we do
Yea you seem experienced with this shit
we don't sculpt plastic from scratch
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
EXACTLY
u prob don’t know anything about keyboards
Nice one
gas have you seen the latest pcb for katana like
My point exactly
idk thats up to you to decide
idk I trust mx’s opinion more than yours 
I do know myself that I do though
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.
whats that
uh
which one is that
bro wrote a whole ass essay
you can get good advice from the keyboard specific servers
they tend to try to convince newcomers to spend alot of money at once though
so just take with a grain of salt
if you are trying to get into the hobby and learn shit this isnt exactly the greatest place
@glossy sandal
where are the idcs
this seems more like a suggestions for people that want to get in and out and not spend too much
oh its based on the twister connection
Damn i honestly would go to a keyboard specific server a couple good ones that will help ya
bet
katana60?
no no
dm them over?
loh’s design
based on the stagger yes.
wait whar
I’m not on them
huh what are we talking about
I thought you just copied stagger but nothing else
oh, mb
yeah
All good
loh has like 4 projects going on rn lmao🗣️
I ain’t even know what’s happening most of da time
twister style connections
That's not what im saying, im saying this argument is stupid and its just both extremes of the situation fighting for their place, when in reality they are both the wrong answer
yeah but i use a 2x6 dupont for everything
what the hell
it carries half the matrix and the encoder lines
omg epic arguemnt
i dont think those connectors are rated for very many mating cycles
You'll notice the same things happening elsewhere (the two main political parties)
prob not lol
yamber of cash
astro of --
but its optional split without getting too big
nobody really cares because it’s a hobby neither are really vested in 🔥🔥
Bowie was* defending a strawman
what is the argument about
idk I only read like 2 lines
whether or not someone is spending the correct amounts on custom keebs
now that the kid is gone, I'll be doing my work byeeee
yada yada yada 17 yo with 13 keebs yada yada yada someone called that dumb
wait mx I gotta show you something
OPinions on holy pandas
i thought there would be something juicy
lamou
holy pandas are super slops drop blals
wat
real
?
actual holy pandas or drop ones
actual
i fw the real ones
not for the price tho
i enjoy a good tactile switch
get mx clears then
ion think i would ever make them
anywhoo gas the red dots are the mounting holes (pcba to pcb)
p sure purple pandas have a v close bump to the original but sound is nothing like the original
they're already on the way
lets go
dunno if ive got enough
based epic
i fw purple pandas
yuck
bruh
holy pandas are super slops drop blals
super good gaming gamers switches keyboard
not terribly
i LOVE the bump, but my family was really annoyed with the sound
im also thinking of foam modding this one too

WHJAT
honestly foaming a prebuilt is aight
why would it not be?
foaming non prebuilts is poo poo‼️
it makes sense to
how
well, its already disasembled, why not put some foam in there, especially if you have space to
ruins the sound
whomp whomp
i wouldnt know
:/
this is my first ACTUALY attempt at doing anything but replacing the switches
keycaps*
my brain did a goof
hot
mean
WAIT
dont disrespect lord of hat(red)
it snaps in half
logic? Only one
get it?
cause logic
and computers
and theres only one
funni
do it
hmmmmm
big servers do that
also its a 40 bc it carries the whole matrix over the split connector
very many connectors needed for anything big
once again, "ew"
you pay more for less keyboard, and call yourselves sane?!
how am i paying more
anything below 60 is starnge
because nobody makes 40's
literally making one rn wtf you on
i am perfectly fine to drive officer
gas is back
hey gas
you see the updated mount holes
soldered on switches bc plateless
maybe a really big umbrella will cheer you up
try it
colossal umbrella in question:
can you make a plate
why is it so big 😭
its a prototype
saved
o?
is it okay to use isopropyl alcohol to clean a keyboard
Like its in really bad condition 💀
Depends on up the key caps are painted
If*
Or anything else
That’s you’re cleaning
But generally yeah
Probably
@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?
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
water should be fine but isopropyl is usually used for variety of metals so it eats plastic but only if you do it often
you could also get less strong hand sanitizer that has water to reduce intensity rather than other sticky elements
Pls use shampoo
Even better
Am i better off getting a wireless keyboard or is there no real performance difference between them?
Keychron K10 vs V6?
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
this is false btw, isopropyl is plastics and metal safe
it is recommended for general electronics cleaning
V6 is better built
I don’t see why you’d get a full sized kb tho
so yes
when theyre separated
i want numbpad, meesa like numpad
But def V6
why have it take an extra usb port when you can just have it on your keyboard
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?
I can make you a plate
Please let me make you a plate
this guy ghosted me
and i have 2 sheets of pom
like really large sheets of pom
what do I do with it
Not joking I think in length both sheets combined is close to my height
eh close
But I'm 6 foot lol
Aight thank you
why not
like would I recommend it?
no
but is there something fundamentally wrong with it?
also no
uh huh
uh yeah
keyboard
board with keys
it is safe but it still eats plastic on molecular level like any other alcohol
isopropyl is primarily used to clean thermal paste off of cpu
water will eat plastic on a molecular level too
you should stop showering to prevent that, or maybe you were already doing that
dude really said ipa's is primary use is to clean off thermal paste 💀
another revan L
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.
imagine being so offended by a person you needed to write a completely false statement
this just tells me i live rent free in your head

i guess you are type of person who uses alcohol on monitor
there we go he called his bros to back him up
idk who you are :3
lamou
alcohol is known to damage plastic
nahhhh that’s vile 💀
for example ethanol is not recommended to use on cpu
you need right type of alcohol for specific product
but i would really appreciate if we could have normal conversations without mocking or trolling on childish level
this is what no research gets you
this is what basic google article tells you
in all college engineering classes they told us do not use alcohol on sensitive plastic or monitors
also ethanol is not recommended for sensitive electronics this is why people use isopropyl
oh fuck I've been using iso for my glasses
i remember each time i went to get new glasses they specifically told me not to use isopropyl or ethanol on glasses
this is why every isopropyl bottle states it is meant for metal products
it is most common alcohol in engineering
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
glass is fine but lenses can be damaged
yeah ik now
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
wait it reacts to metal?
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
i dont understand
I donut undastand 
i love saying donut
in short term just do not mix not compatible products together
so real!!
isnt that kinda obv tho, dont mix incompatible stuff? seems confusion comes from not being intuitive which are compatible
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
I destroy plastic materials with my teeth 🔥
huh, idve expected acids to break down plastics, since its organic-y derived
depends there are a ton of acids and bases but certain ones can be stored in plastic
Revan how much citric acid can I eat before I have a stomachache
depends on a person i am not able to eat anything sour because it gives me acid
You do what now
Depends on the gum
I love chewing on plastic
anyone got a giant rubber hammer in chat
Ayo?
colossal rubber mallet
magical mallet
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.
Thank you!
Thanks!
will the amoeba pcbs do low profile switches?
Yes
QMK has OS detection, I imagine there's functionality for that. But also, you can change the bind in PowerToys to match MacOS 🙂
another day, another set of keycaps
really sad I had missed out on this but finally snagged a set real cheap.
DCS Paperwork, Viktus Sinne
i just recently managed to get the os detection to work how i wanted with macros. thanks. i didn't notice that too though.
i play many types of games, so good to know, thanks
Pro Tip: Mechanical Keyboards are overrated
its all personal preference really
Yeah you do you bud
non of us really care
They're fine, but I just think it's ridiculous some people spend more on their keyboard than their monitor, or even CPU.
i mean, it is the thing your touching the most, and some people need that
its all sensory preferences
Not everyone requires high compute power tho?
plus if you have a more expensive keyboard than your monitor, buy a more expensive monitor too 😅
I mean, fair
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
Part List - Intel Core i9-13900K, GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, Cooler Master HAF 500 ATX Mid Tower
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.
Ok who cares
ur mum fight me bro 1v1 rust no scopes only
Meh I’m busy
😦
me too, im busy making my own mouse
Go watch optimum tech’s vid

He used an already made pcb
im currently using a donor g502 with some pcb mounts i found on thingiverse for the sensor and stuff
Saving that on my YT account for later, going to have to watch it
Yeah that makes more sense. I thought you meant more like how people make keyboards or PCs with just a bunch of premade parts. Are you soldering components on the PCBs yourself, or getting more premade PCBs?
as in pcbs with components on it already
im taking all the internals out of a g502 and printing my own shell
they have both
im dissasembling my wired, while using my wireless g502 daily
i like it, just want to make a gaming vertical ergo mouse
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
Im going to have to look that up
its g502 lightspeed, g502 hero, and they have another new one out too
this form factor?
I think I've seen those before, but it looks weird. Is it actually comfortable/easy using a mouse like that?
wont know till i try
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
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.
okay, makes sense
least its charging port isnt on the bottom
True
Why does apple fumble on their peripherals so much lately?
its like they want to help their second hand competitors
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
if its happening to everything in the hub, it might be the hub?
no i plug it in to the laptop without the hub still wont work
have you tried manually installing usb drivers for your laptop
maybe you have an outdated version that has some bugs
especially if its something like a razor
had it on a dell yesterday
would not blame a specific manufacturer
not like razer dell, hp etc make their own USB controllers
Hey all, just a reminder that toxicity and condescension have no place here. If you find that you cannot engage respectfully, kindly recuse yourself from the conversation. This is a friendly community where all are welcome, and mutual respect is a requisite.
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
I need help
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
a friend got a keyboard
interesting i always found mouse more important than keyboard to me
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.
and is looking for keycaps
Is that an RK61
I have no clue
keychron is pretty good for the price and reliable
it looks like rk to me
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
It's complicated, It's a stupid local pc component seller
From what I can understand they just put the CORTEK sticker on stuff
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
They're advertising Kailh box switches on the cortek website
Regular keycaps should fit
unless it’s one of those type writer style keycaps
What kind like a low profile or regular
And like what kinda layout are you looking at
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
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
How controversial of a statement is "I like mx blues and clicky switches"
Everyone has their preferences so I doubt it is
Get a keychron
Totally worth the money
<@&750150305383186585>
what is the purpose of update_tri layer(x,y,z) as opposed to using the normal tri layers feature. this seems like it does the same thing right? https://docs.qmk.fm/#/ref_functions?id=update_tri_layerx-y-z
just maybe the ability to use it with more layer options?
do you also like punching babies? /s
On the real, it's all preference. Do note that blues are hella loud.
I like clicky switches, mx blues are bad clicky switches though
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
what size keyboard?
75
keychron has good but affordable barebones kits for most sizes
i assume you're talking wired, so v series
I have no idea what you said
you can get kits to build boards, if its your first time thats a good way to go. The V series on keychrons site is the budget option but is still good.
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
So that keyboard in the image came with a kit?
And if yes does it come with everything you need?
You can buy all keychron boards fully assembled
I bought this and replaced the keycaps, cable, and switches alter
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.
Im guessing expensive
but you can buy just the case and pcb. Then just add your own switches and keycaps
Nope
is $100 expensive?
I mean thats kind of a lot
it really isnt
And if 100 is the cheapest way to go i guess so
I was trying to make one with 50 bucks
For that money you will struggle getting switches
if you think $100 is alot for a board then you prolly should avoid building your own because they get more expensive fast
Ig
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
Okay so what sites are best for parts?
Okay i think ill go up to 100
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...
Hey aren’t you that guy in blacksimon
How do I get access to gen chat
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
it comes with stabs
also if you have amazon prime it might shift faster off amazon then off their site
i cant remember it says on the page
So much thock cream keyboard love so much key cream
hi yamber of cash
Omg hi Astro
do you have any particular vulgar ways to say fuck you I can use
Damn
need to go cuss someone out rq
Who you need to cuss out
this mf completely fucked over my homie
I did disguised revengeance status
Also my pronouns are jokes
you seem like you would be good with vulgar cussing
Say slurs
yk fuck it why not
ofc ofc
Good luck homeslice
uhhh, good question
I joined and then left and then joined
And when I joined for a second time
I was banished
idk
1 billion years
It takes my like tres hours
For ~90 switches
Lubing and filming
tres or quatro maybe
you can get pre-lubed switches if you're lazy like me
or just don't have time (also me)
like realistically expect ~4 hours
🔼
Prob red
Anyone in my family: GO OUTSIDE

Also can you use a normal brush for lubing?
you want a very small one at least
which red switches lol?
Finally a use for my uhhhh...
Cherry?
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
really not the case
but cherry switches need a lot of effort to get them good
something like gaterons are way easier to get good
Uhhh
What u recommend for gamingM
?
Also something that isnt FUCKING CLICKY
Like my keyboard rn
switches are highly personal
linears are typically best for gaming but besides that you have 1000s of options
but with a 50 dollar budget you are very limited anyways
500 if you ignore recolors
tbh that^
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
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
^
which is exactly what i did
also i will note that the windows key on my stock keycaps was printed backwards...
lol
What kind of red
just get the gateron pro reds the v1 comes with
completely fine switch
does not need extra lube
Red
But if i do get a prebuilt what do i do with the keycaps?
Stock ones
Wait-
keep up for a rainy day, sell them, whatever you want
v1 comes with keychron branded switches
yes
still is gateron pros
tbf you always spend more on customs because youll be swapping things eventually 🙂
not necessarily
lol, then whats the point of hot-swap then?
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
oh i disassembled some red switches alright... the tiny switch puller is not great
lol RIP like 12 switches
Damn
Hey, do somebody knows where I could find really tiny keyboard switches ? I'm trying to put a raspberry pi in a calculator with a trackpad and keyboard, but regular switches are too fat to go in
Why not ?
just don't buy extra keycaps
A hell na i aint stayin with those keycaps
As soon as im getting it im switching them
time to get ransacked with an aftermarket gmk anime whatever keycap set
just keep the stock keycaps as spares or sell them then
Ok
PBTFans has some great sets coming up or in IC
Would anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the Razer Turret? I'm interested in the form factor, but not the price tag.
just need a keyboard with integrated mouse? or you intend to game?
I need a keyboard with integrated mouse. not necessarily for gaming. something I can use on the couch
Love the fact a V1 keyboard that is already in romania is 600 romanian dollars but the one outside is like 300-400
And shipping aint that bad
what
