#

Well I found some on lethal gaming ... shipping is shity

cunning anvil
#

what mount should i pick for something with a clicky encoder

junior sentinel
#

im happy with it stock just wondering if i can do anything later

serene obsidian
#

Personally I'd get custom keycaps, they can definitely improve the look and sometimes the sound and feel of a board

glossy sandal
#

what’s up

cunning anvil
#

katana 100

#

also what mount you think would be stable for a board with clicky encoder

glossy sandal
#

gasket

cunning anvil
#

is that one complicated

#

sounds like it involves

#

sealant

glossy sandal
#

sealant?

cunning anvil
#

okay just looked it up, is there a plate type hole that supports the encoder? worried about clicking the encoder and the plate just dies or something

#

or pcb

#

might just stuff a buncha foam under the encoder slot or something

median slate
#

Lubing switches with WD40

#

Or cooking oil

#

Or coconut oil

no to all that

glossy sandal
#

WHAT

#

two people have said it's black

#

arguing with @-Astro-#7162 over this

#

boreal rivet
#

It’s not black if a little bit of light shining on it makes it grey bruh

boreal rivet
#

You know what I mean right

glossy sandal
#

i hate you so much astro

cunning anvil
#

if it's not invisible it's not black

glossy sandal
#

ah hell nah

serene obsidian
#

So I got a keyboard with low profile GTMX switches and it's actually pretty nice, some people online were saying that some of the switches had an inconsistent feel but I must have gotten a good unit because it feels damn near perfect to me, or about as perfect as you can get for $60

cunning anvil

if it doesn't absorb all known wavelengths is it really black

glossy sandal
#

grrr

boreal rivet
#

I don’t know jack about color theory lol

glossy sandal
#

yeah i wasn't assuming you did i need to learn though

boreal rivet
#

But such a small amount of light on black ano shouldn’t make it look like grey

glossy sandal
#

does it atleast look nice, i had to readjust the bottom boards a ton so they weren't floating nor clipping into top one

cunning anvil
#

vantablacks the only thing that comes close to true black

#

everything else is grey

glossy sandal

The lighting is kinda scuffed and the top board looks really off

cunning anvil

gas im board

#

what else ought i do before i send the katanalike 40 to jlc

glossy sandal
#

I’ve just been doing shit in fusion

cunning anvil
#

nah i wanna make sure i dont hate the layout first

glossy sandal
#

make it tkl thereanimatedcorpseintheparlor

#

tbh you won’t know you hate until it’s made

cunning anvil
#

yeah i just wonder if theres anything to do with it first

glossy sandal
#

what’s the most recent revision

cunning anvil
#

mostly hole placement

glossy sandal
#

how tall is it

#

why not make it gh60 compat

cunning anvil
#

tall?

#

because its a splittable

glossy sandal
#

darn it

cunning anvil
#

i might make a qaz or van compatible board eventually

#

but rn im focusing on layout

glossy sandal
#

hmm

#

show me

cunning anvil
#

qaz, van, or doug/katanalike40

glossy sandal
#

DOUG

#

silly name

cunning anvil
#

I already told you it was doug :/

#
P3D Store

This invisibolt acrylic caseĀ designĀ is for our Minisub PCB (Available Below) as well as other Minivan PCBs, and is compatible with all minivan layout builds due to being gasket plate mounted.Ā  The case usesĀ a plate designed specifically for this case. If you have already assembled a plate with your PCB you will need to

#

minivan form factor

#

qaz is 10.75u

#

wont fit doug, but i might try it for something else

chrome ocean
#

How do you use an analog keyboard for tac fps games? Set wasd to low actuation distance and immediately stop when rebounce is detected?

rose glen
#

basically yea

chrome ocean
#

So it basically just eliminates pre travel? I thought pros use them differently

rose glen
#

well

#

kinda? like for me im not good enough to need that instant reaction time on my keyboard

#

if you need super light and short actuation you can save some money by going with speed switches from whatever brand you like

#

but you dont get the instant rebound that you can get with analog

#

but ima keep it real with you man, unless you are a top 1% of the top 1% of FPS gamers you wont really notice the difference between a linear and a speed type switch activation other than weight

marsh scarab
#

Okay so I had a dumb thought

What if I 'lube' my keyboard with Singer machine oil

rose glen
#

uhhh

marsh scarab
#

(I just add it directly on the stem)

rose glen
#

is that a liquid lube?

marsh scarab
#

I mean yeah, it's meant for sewing machines

rose glen
#

then id advise staying away from that

marsh scarab
#

Ohh

#

Why-

#

Is it because of rust

rose glen
#

two reasons:

  1. it may not stick to the parts of the switch very well, meaning it will drip down and out of the switch over time
  2. if you are not 100% sure its not electrically conductive you can potentially cause shorting of the board, or cause weird issues with the switches behavior when typing, things like sustained key presses, ghost presses, undetected presses, things like that
#

plus the sound of lubed switches when you use something like krytox 205g0 is amazing

marsh scarab
#

Ohh I see I see

rose glen
#

its tedious to brush it on each switch, but trust me, its VERY much worth it

marsh scarab
#

Well thankfully I did it on a cheap mechanical keyboard

#

Unfortunately it's the only keyboard I have

rose glen
#

you can build a pretty cheap mechanical keyboard, or find one from a company like reddragon i think it is and toy around with that sorta stuff

marsh scarab
#

I have problems with it.

Particular the part where I have to Sprint in Minecraft with double press on the w but it keeps putting me in and out of sprint so I just get this weird wobble effect on my fov

cunning anvil
#

me about to make a case for pro micro fp keyboards without being ludicrously tall

marsh scarab
#

It wasn't even a named brand keyboard.

It's like a 15 dollar mechanical hot swap keyboard

rose glen
#

what layout do you use?

marsh scarab
#

Wired, the RGB is static and it feels mostly cheap

marsh scarab
rose glen
#

you still have the arrow keys and the various like page up page down keys?

marsh scarab
#

Yea

rose glen
#

ok so you have a TKL layout

marsh scarab
#

Ohh yeah the one with 6 buttons on top of the arrow keys

marsh scarab
#

Oh I am just probably gonna get a royal kludge keyboard

rose glen
#

oh yea, they are another good one

marsh scarab
#

I want wireless because I am lazy and don't wanna reach out to my desk

rose glen
#

although i do always recommend building your own board, its so satisfying and so worth the time and effort it takes to build them

marsh scarab
#

My chair is slowly breaking and getting a new one is expensive

rose glen
#

but it can be very expensive

marsh scarab
#

Yeah I've heard.

But I at least have a physical option to

#

Theres this 'hobby' store where there's a section full of keyboard stuff.

And they sell packets of switches between 2-6 dollars per 10 switches

rose glen
#

bruh

#

honestly, if you want to get into building keyboards youtube is your best friend

#

there are tons of good channels dedicated to keyboards, tons of information out there

marsh scarab
#

Literally idk what all this means

rose glen
#

and you said thats a local hobby store?

#

im jealous

marsh scarab
#

Well it's not exclusively a keyboard store

rose glen
#

i know but still

marsh scarab
#

It's like.. a multi hobby store.

Imagine like your school lockers right

#

But each locker has a different hobby and stuff inside them and they are all for sale

#

That's what this store is. And I was looking at the keyboard locker

cunning anvil
#

@glossy sandal have you made a case for something with a pro micro in it?

#

/elite-c/etc

marsh scarab
#

They got lube as well

rose glen
#

i mean, all those switches are good options, personally id go with the gateron milky yellows or the MX blacks

#

but there are hundreds of switches out there

marsh scarab
#

Yeah and pretty inaccessible for me because I live in Asia

#

That's why I don't wanna try a group buy.

boreal rivet
#

ag?

#

sg?

marsh scarab
#

Because there's nothing equivalent to it here

#

Uhhh let's say SEA

boreal rivet
#

meh whatever

#

just buy from taobao

marsh scarab
#

Wtf is taobao

rose glen
#

group buys are only for the really dedicated keyboard nuts out there, they are expensive and you wait months or years to get your items

boreal rivet
#

most keyboard shit infinitely cheaper there thanks to chineseā„¢ļø price

glossy sandal
#

I was answering you

#

because you asked which one I wanted to see

cunning anvil
#

ohh

#

current design

#

(ignore the lack of cropping plss)

rose glen
#

bro your making a PCB for a keyboard?

#

šŸ‘€

cunning anvil
#

ive been making em lol

rose glen
#

i might have an idea for you

cunning anvil
#

check it

rose glen
#

iv been trying to make a keyboard that looks like an old IBM model M, but iv found nothing out there, how hard would it be to make a PCB for an old model M case, or a reproduction of one

glossy sandal
rose glen
#

yea but i want like, modern switches, thats the buckle spring style

gloomy patrol
#

Votex has some nice vint looking shit

glossy sandal
#

Wack

#
cunning anvil
#

whatchu like about the model m? looks kinda bowed

gloomy patrol
#

Gas you shud hop in my dms

glossy sandal
#

and do what

rose glen

marsh scarab
#

Do not rp in the ltt keyboard channel

gloomy patrol
#

Why do none of the keeb servers let me rp

cunning anvil
#

gas dyt its a bad idea to make a case for a pro micro style keyb

#

where the pm is exposed

glossy sandal
#

No

cunning anvil
#

bc apparently it adds a lotta height

glossy sandal
#

I think there’s a fair bit of those

cunning anvil
#

oo link?

marsh scarab
#

Has there been mechanical keyboard that's as thin as a laptop one

glossy sandal
gloomy patrol
#

Don’t all the sandwich fr4 kits expose the pm or am I tripping

gloomy patrol
glossy sandal
#

Pretty sure mechwild does that too

gloomy patrol
#

Sugarglider with chocs is kinda thin

#

Unless you want to fat shame it

marsh scarab
#

Because tbh the only thing I miss about the shitty office keyboards are how thin they are

rose glen
#

they make low profile mechanical switches

cunning anvil
#

wait

#

wheres the flex

#

is that a no flex board

glossy sandal
#

wdym

gloomy patrol
#

They shouldn’t flex much?

#

Or at all iirc

cunning anvil
#

thats what i thought but

#

idk

marsh scarab
#

Okay now another question. Is there a really silent switch for a keyboard

gloomy patrol
#

Yea no I feel like the acrylic layer would I hit any pcb movement

marsh scarab
#

Like real quiet.

I know the appeal of mechanical is the sound and feel but like they are sometimes very loud

rose glen
glossy sandal
#

I just want a keyboard that’s pink man

gloomy patrol
#

Get a pink Jane

#

It’s p cheap

glossy sandal
#

marsh scarab
#

Rose gold is like a pink but more on the silver and yellow side of the spectrum

gloomy patrol
cunning anvil
#

We both know you don’t have ce money

cunning anvil
#

gas i was about to ask advice about pro micro placement but then i remembered

#

40s

glossy sandal
#

uhh

#

dude I’ve been so in love with rendering this board

#

send me a picture of the layout

#

I think I remember but how large is a pro micro, 2u?

gloomy patrol
#

That’s lwk hot

cunning anvil
#

damb i lost my old kles

#

brb

glossy sandal
gloomy patrol
#

I’d make it my banner if it matched

glossy sandal
#

girlie is sending me pictures of guns wharr

cunning anvil
#

current draft

glossy sandal
#

2u is pro micro?

cunning anvil
#

ye

#

tryna make a layout i can reuse

glossy sandal
#

why not make it gh60 compat?

cunning anvil
#

5row :c

glossy sandal
#

so you can get a fancy case without the hassle

#

gh60 is 5row doe

cunning anvil
#

is it pm compat

glossy sandal
#

oh wait Nevermind I’m stupid

marsh scarab
#

I have seen people say that they use their keyboard as their mouse.

Why not make a pcb with diagonal keys

#

Omni directional keyboard.

cunning anvil
#

what doews that even mean

marsh scarab
#

So people have said that they use their keyboard as their mouse instead

#

Okay I ran out of brain thinking juixe and I forgot my thought so ignore me

cunning anvil
#

mood

#

i think i can sqeeze a katana stagger 40 into an 11.75u

#

with that kinda pro micro placement

#

or should i make my case have pm on bottom left horizontal

#

or heck, maybe even round it to 12u

#

maybe i could bump it to 12.75 and let it additionally take minivan pcbs just in case

#

tfw slowly widening

glossy sandal
#

I’ll buy an ortho tkl if you make one

glossy sandal
cunning anvil
#

ik it does :c

glossy sandal
#

unless you have some really flexy cables it stretches the port

#

makes it loose

cunning anvil
#

i have right angle adapters

glossy sandal
#

those keychron k pro side usb-c ports suck

#

but just do it on the top

#

thas all I gotta say

cunning anvil
#

and i just finished sketching these

glossy sandal
#

now make it tkl memematerials

cunning anvil
#

i dunno if i can make a tkl with 4x11u

glossy sandal
#

I think I like 60% more than tkl functionally

#

I like how they both look equally

cunning anvil
#

putting the usb c on top

#

prob is with the symmetrical stagger the min width becomes 11.75

#

which isnt that bad

#

smaller than a planck

#

but at that point why not planck it

glossy sandal
#

This reminds me of 660 layout for whatever reason

#

gonna run it plateless?

cunning anvil
#

im tryna make some case form factor so i can do plates

#

and generally more standardized stuff between my own boards

rose glen
#

are you writing your own firmware for your keyboards as well?

cunning anvil
#

i mostly use miryoku_qmk

#

with tweaks

rose glen
#

nice nice

glossy sandal
#

pretty easy to do for plates with standoffs

cunning anvil
#

oring like on the stems?

rose glen
#

gasket mount?

glossy sandal
#

lemme find the files

glossy sandal
#

you’d have to use dbs for your pcbs though

cunning anvil
#

dbs?

glossy sandal
#

daigher board

#

daughter

cunning anvil
#

hmm, but what if

#

db was pm

glossy sandal
#

that works

#

do pms do jst?

cunning anvil
#

theyre pin headers

glossy sandal
#

hmm

cunning anvil
#

but it would make the usb not on the same layer as the oring

#

but also sourcing an oring that size sounds annoying

glossy sandal
#

@radiant lodge can I call in that file favor hedoesntevenknowGEOMETRY

#

just make the pcb/plate bigga

rose glen
glossy sandal
#

and ya can put the oring that works

rose glen
#

at least thats how most gasket mount keyboards iv seen are shipped, with a single longer strand of oring material

cunning anvil
#

idk if i actually like flex

rose glen
#

i mean

glossy sandal
#

oring is a lot less flexier than you’d expect

rose glen
#

it also depends on the specific rubber you use and the plate type

glossy sandal
#

stiffer than most silicone/poron strip implementations

rose glen
#

the super flexy keyboards you see have cutouts on the PCB that make it flex more

glossy sandal
#

also yeah oring hardness and whatnot

rose glen
#

and plate type

cunning anvil
#

yo what if i put the PM on the bottom

#

and made that the slant

glossy sandal
#

whar

#

I can’t imagine allat

cunning anvil
#

pm goes under the pcb

#

where theres more space

glossy sandal
#

HMM..

#

oh man that full picture is awesome I love that keycap set

cunning anvil
#

bc the main issue with PM board cases is height

glossy sandal
#

maybe you’d like to do top mount then?

#

pcb/plate screws into top case

#

not very flexy, pretty stiff

cunning anvil
#

sandwich looked easiest to design

rose glen
#

also keep in mind that the PCB design has a lot to do with how much flex there is

glossy sandal
#

what about integrated plate?

cunning anvil
#

would that mean itd be 3dp/milled?

glossy sandal
#

yeppers

cunning anvil
#

kinda down for stacked acryllic rn

glossy sandal
#

layers of filament/something and one of the layers are the plate

rose glen
#

stacked acrylic is pretty dope

#

i have a stacked acrylic board

cunning anvil
#

3dp a plate every time i make a new design tho

#

then again idk if 3dp is more exp than an acrylic plate

glossy sandal
#

listenin to da vocaloid

rose glen
#

do you have a CNC router or laser cutter?

cunning anvil
#

nop

rose glen
#

well shit

#

uhhh

glossy sandal
#

pretty sure acrylic is one of them

#

send cut send, jlcpcb (I think?)

cunning anvil
#

ye i was gonna go ponoko for case and p3d for plate

glossy sandal

ponoko?

rose quarry

I spilled coffee on my keyboard. I hate mosquito... idiot went for my ear when I was drinking coffee -_-

cunning anvil

glossy sandal

cunning anvil
#

i wonder how much itd be to get a bulletproof bottom plate

in theory

glossy sandal

i mean, you could make the board out of AR500 plate steel

#

ez

analog boards are not very popular because most people dont wanna pay the price to get one lol

#

MX is just easy to make money off of, there’s no wide implementations not nor really need for analog switches so they aren’t popular

I remember getting my first "gaming" keyboard

#

It was a Corsair K55 (membrane board) and I thought I was hot shit at the time

#

I don't even know why they still make it, you can literally do better for cheaper

#

Probably because there are dumbasses like I was when I got it, I was like 16 and didn't know any better

#

Now I want backlighting for the utility but I don't care about it being RGB

#

It's nice but not explicitly necessary

cunning anvil

wondering if i even care about the splittable

it was just kinda neat when i was using splits

might not fab the splittable katanalike

I managed to spill a coffee over my Tiger80 today...

glass jolt
#

dismantle it. lean non plastic parts with 97% rubbing alcohol, plastic parts with warm water and a cloth. let dry.

#

check all the switches and open up any that may have got any liquid in them, re-lube as needed.

#

wait a bit. check all the switches for any that are sticky or stick at all, then clean those if any

serene obsidian
#

Yeah electronics are surprisingly resilient if you don't leave them powered on while wet

glass jolt
#

yea main thing is stickieness of switch parts because of sugars

serene obsidian
#

I found out at my job at a hospital that they make membrane boards that are specifically designed to be washable

#

I don't think that would be worth it for me but it's interesting nonetheless. If they are throwing out the old ones maybe I'll see if I can snag one but it's not worth paying for.

their testing methodology is flawed or something iirc

some from private servers and others I cba sorry

# boreal rivet why would they, its nothing special

It's a slimline low profile keyboard and I haven't seen one like this from Keychrom yet. To me it would be good to see how it holds up in the market compared to the others like that funky small logitech keyboard that it's mostly trying to compete with.

That's why I said above I would be interested in seeing them review this keyboard especially since there is no review for this currently on YouTube only the K8 Pro which isn't anything like this one.

This logitech keyboard I am referencing.

whats the point of watching a review if you don't even know what you're looking for

are you just looking for someone to tell you which one is better and that you should buy that one?

Because I can tell you without a doubt the keychron is a better product

pulsar folio
#

vouch for Keychron, they have some very nice bang for the buck keyboards

and at least for now (and hopefully the future too) do they focus on quality keyboards that are still affordable

they will because thats their niche

I'm looking at building my first keyboard after finally being sick of dealing with Razer and I'm working out what I like and don't like. Right now I'm working on narrowing down which switches I want and I'm hoping that somebody can help me track down what would be in a particular keyboard in one of the Floatplane Exclusive videos. At about 6:36 of "What's In Your PC?" (https://www.floatplane.com/post/Z77L5WAnPU) Sven shows off his new keyboard and I am in love with the sound. Does anybody have any idea as to what his build would be using because I think that is what I will want to go with is a 75% board with those switches.

# hidden quail how do i know if my keyboard is hotswappable

it will tell you on the product page, every keyboard manufacturer wants to advertise hot swap to try and appeal to the enthusiest market, if you got it from a friend with no packaging you could look up the company, it will usually say somewhere on the keyboard along with the specific model, if you dont have a specific model wrote on the board you can just look for a similar looking board on the companies site and check the product information that way to see if its hotswap

Depends if you're into clicky switches I guess. Buckling springs are pretty unique. If you've ever tried or heard a Model M, imagine that but bit higher pitch.

what length of springs would be more recommended for 45g

if you like rounder and sculpted keycaps you will probably like them but plastic is quite thin compared to other keycaps

otherwise it is not practical really unless it would be widely used

since I've already spent a decent amount on the keyboard and switches, dont wanna spend another 30, 40 or 130 on keycaps

1: is silicone grease viable keyboard lube, it has a similar consistency to vasoline

2: if you had to describe what kinda foam makes the biggest difference, which one is it. I mean it goes as wide as packing peanuts to that rock solid stuff you can rip a chunk out of and not get messy

#

3: I’ve got hella orings, that are just slightly too big to stay on.

4: I swear if you guys tell me to just buy the gamer branded <everything above> you’re hilarious

pseudo owl
#
  1. No.
  2. Probably pe foam or case foam, dunno what kind they use for case mainly though.
  3. ok
  4. We are not gonna tell you to buy gamer branded shit when it comes to keyboards. Anyone that does can be escorted to the comedy club and they can tell their jokes there.
