peripherals

[arctic shuttle]

I had to bed a few of them back

[main narwhal]

yeah, like it seemed like they pretinned the pads with the tiniest amount of solder lol

[muted karma]

you most likely just break off the sockets

[knotty flax]

Please find me a cheap asf rgb 100% keyboard with a wristrest, and the rgb can be controlled. Budget $35.
I'm not really a mnk player, I just want smth for the setup

[fresh thistle]

rate my new keeb

[gloomy quest]

knob is real

[fresh thistle]

knob is da bast

uses black switches. i like them

[swift wren]

whats the best mechanical keyboard

and switches

[knotty flax]

Okay guys. I know nothing about keyboards. I keep searching, but I keep failing to find one I like/meet my requirements. Here are the requirements.

Under $50
Has a wrist-rest
Has controllable rgb
Mechanical
KB and wrist-rest need to be white.
I'd prefer not number pad on the right.
MUST have F keys

I would be so grateful if yall could help me out.

Some typos there, but yall get the idea. Pwease help a brotha out🥲

[swift wren]

almost impossible

[knotty flax]

*inserts sad face

[solid sphinx]

as soon as you say "mechanical" your minimum price expectations should be about $200

[swift wren]

nah i think like 100

rk61 is 50 dollars

but its 60%

and its white

u can control rgb i think

but no wrist wrest

rest*

[onyx summit]

What?

There are plenty of 40-60 dollar mechanical keyboards. They might not be high quality but they exist

[knotty flax]

New requirements ig

[solid sphinx]

I'm thinking of price conversion rates to dollars, my apologies. that rk61 converted to dollars is $100 and I'm thinking of full sized

[onyx summit]

What?

Rk61s are 70 cad

[knotty flax]

Under $70
Has a wrist-rest
Has controllable rgb
Mechanical
KB and wrist-rest need to be white.
I'd prefer no numeric pad
F-keys preferred, but not required

[solid sphinx]

it's 64 gbp

[swift wren]

what is

[solid sphinx]

that rk61, so £64 -> $82. My estimation is a bit off - I just double the number to get dollar estimates

[swift wren]

no

the rk61 is 44 gbp

[knotty flax]

What about this keyboard? It has no wrist rest, but ig i can buy one separate. Is there anything bad about this one

[swift wren]

it looks good

but

u can get the rk68

it has f keys

[knotty flax]

Thats too much for me w no wrist rest 😦

[swift wren]

how much is this?

well u can mod it

[knotty flax]

My budget was $50, then I moved it to $70. But that includes the wrist rest

The one I sent is $40. I just don't know if it's bad or smth lol

Apparently the one I sent is just a ripoff of this one

CIY X77 Hot-Swappable Mechanical Keyboard/RGB Gaming Keyboard/USB C/Anti Ghosting/N-Key Rollover/Compact Layout 87 Key/Magnetic Upper Cover/for Mac Windows (White and Brown Switch) https://a.co/d/aq3sPki

It looks good to me, just gotta get a wrist-rest

[swift wren]

guys

do u like creamy sounding keyboards

or thocky sounding keyboards

[fresh thistle]

Thocky

Also i have a Thock 75% Wireless black

Which isn't totaly based

[torn python]

i dont really care about sound

[arctic shuttle]

Clack

[swift wren]

thock you

[boreal rivet]

cringe

[arctic shuttle]

What you want is the tharble

[sonic cape]

hmm

Is there a way to buy diaelectric grease in a larger volume ?

that stupid small container is too expensive for how little there is

[arctic shuttle]

You can get it in bulk if that's the question

[sonic cape]

from ?

[arctic shuttle]

Your local industrial warehouse, gonna be a couple grand though

[sonic cape]

i meant more like

a 100g version

not the 9g one I have

[arctic shuttle]

Oh, ya not sure

Why do you need so much

[sonic cape]

I am hungry

@arctic shuttle

I wanna learn soldering

Is it hard ?

[arctic shuttle]

At first it's learning how long you need to hold the iron on for

Once you get that, it's easy

[sonic cape]

so youtube video learnable ?

or should i ask someone

[boreal rivet]

Solder in a ventilated environment with a fan pointed at the pcb

[arctic shuttle]

Absolutely

[arctic shuttle]

You don't need a fan pointed at the pcb

Just open a window and pull air out

[boreal rivet]

So just breath in the fumes?

[arctic shuttle]

Get leaded solder, it flows much better

[boreal rivet]

Yes truly sage advice

[sonic cape]

my brothers coleagues solders iphone motherboards with that special intake fan but aparently the fumes are crazy toxic on those

Maybe he could teach me

[arctic shuttle]

If you have an effective fan pulling air out? Idk what you're on about

[boreal rivet]

Solder fumes are toxic yes

[arctic shuttle]

You could always wear a mask

[boreal rivet]

A mask does not mitigate fumes

[sonic cape]

i feel after covid i have enough of those 😄

[boreal rivet]

You need an OV filter

[arctic shuttle]

A mask so you don't smell it and a fan to pull fumes out

Works fine

[sonic cape]

cant I just do it next to a window ?

[boreal rivet]

The cheapest and most efficient way is to simply dissipate the fumes at the source with a fan

[boreal rivet]

A mask doesn’t mitigate fumes buddy

[sonic cape]

so a 10usd fan that will blow the fumes outside

from the source of the fumes

[boreal rivet]

Medical masks are for particulates

[sonic cape]

is good ?

[arctic shuttle]

Pull the air out of the room, don't blow air in

[boreal rivet]

Unless you’re talking a respirator with an OV filter then yes that’ll work

[sonic cape]

this next to the soldering spot to blow the air out

[boreal rivet]

Yes that’s what I’m suggesting

[sonic cape]

and solder here

with the window open

[arctic cargo]

hey guys i just lost my corsair k95 to Jägermeister, now i am looking for a new keyboard that has MX speed switches any recommendations?

[sonic cape]

mx speed silvers ?

[arctic cargo]

ye

[arctic shuttle]

MX speed switches have a faster actuation point, but are awful for typing

[boreal rivet]

Yes that works

Make sure to use the fan

[sonic cape]

how about Chery MX board 10.0 ?

[arctic cargo]

i dont care about typing

[arctic shuttle]

So what profile board you looking at

[sonic cape]

full size ?

or you want tkl or smaller ?

[arctic cargo]

100% or bit smaller

[sonic cape]

if you want really small

fnatic streak65

[arctic shuttle]

Why the speed silvers

[boreal rivet]

Just buy one of the steelseries optical boards

[sonic cape]

or a wooting

[arctic cargo]

i just got used to it over the last 5 years

[sonic cape]

thats apparently the fastest

[boreal rivet]

They just updated the software to include rapid trigger

[sonic cape]

Steelseries Apex

or Razer Huntsman for that gamery look

[torn python]

why not get the wooting

[sonic cape]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/811914632713338902.png?size=64&quality=lossless

[arctic cargo]

wooting never heard of it, il check it out

[sonic cape]

fastest board

out there today

[torn python]

there are a bunch of other boards with analog switches on the market rn too, steelseries and razer i think. but wooting is in a league of its own in terms of performance

[arctic shuttle]

Where is the Wooting in stock

[torn python]

somewhere 😂

[sonic cape]

how about the new razer board

[torn python]

they have an analog

[sonic cape]

that hypio tech reviewed

[torn python]

the blackwidow looks pretty good but its tactile only

[arctic shuttle]

It's hot swap

[torn python]

and feels more like a custom

[sonic cape]

nah

they have a yellow linear

switch too

[torn python]

that u will have to buy seperately

[arctic shuttle]

For that price just build a bakeneko

[arctic cargo]

Wooting Two HE ?

[torn python]

anything

anything wooting

[arctic cargo]

woot

[torn python]

they all have the same switches

[sonic cape]

steelseries apex tkl

[torn python]

i dont think i have ever played a game that has made me think

i wish my keyboard was faster

[sonic cape]

well with a tester68

you can achieve such status

[arctic shuttle]

Lol tester68 is terrible outside of convenience

[torn python]

i kind of want the azoth

but theres so little options for backlit keycaps

[boreal rivet]

Ever thought maybe some people only care about speed?

[torn python]

on fps games i get it

but really its just the wooting that will give u a markedly better experience

[arctic shuttle]

Wooting will give you a fast actuation ya

Is the Wooting PCB center or left oriented usb

Maybe I'll try to fit an apex pro PCB in a Gray Studio board

Wonder how many people will get mad at that

No stepped caps though

[arctic cargo]

lol

wooting is literally 4 blocks away from where i live

[arctic shuttle]

What type of diodes do I need to allow a PCB to take hall Effect switches

[sonic cape]

like

what do you mean 4 blocks

[arctic cargo]

less then a kilometer

[sonic cape]

are you

dutch ?

[arctic cargo]

ye

[dusty remnant]

Badseed did too

[arctic cargo]

🇳🇱

[sonic cape]

Just walk to their location

and say

gib keeb

and wait

[arctic cargo]

hahaha

to late

[arctic shuttle]

That new Razer keyboard expensive for what it is tho

[chrome raft]

Idk what tenkeyless is and at this point I'm to afraid to ask

[arctic shuttle]

Tenkeyless or TKL removes the number pad

It's more then 10 keys lol

Lol damn dude

[torn python]

it gets rid of almost all the useless keys on a keyboard

almost all of them

[arctic shuttle]

Just reprogram them

[chrome raft]

Oh so no numpad?

[arctic shuttle]

You have 10 new macros

[torn python]

yes

[chrome raft]

That would be nice

[arctic shuttle]

This is a tkl

[arctic cargo]

sexy

[chrome raft]

Aka 80%?

[arctic shuttle]

Yes

[chrome raft]

Ahh

I have a tkl

[arctic shuttle]

80% is more accurate, but TKL is the same thing

[chrome raft]

Its my favorite keyboard size

[arctic shuttle]

You are elite

[torn python]

i like 65 more

but bg3 making me consider moving to 75

[arctic shuttle]

75 is kinda a meme layout. Like, it's a 65 with extra steps, and a strictly worse tkl

Your wife's desk

Lemme see if I got the glacier

That's the only one I got

[torn python]

but i dont want all those keys on top of the arrows

[arctic shuttle]

Why not a 65 then

[torn python]

i dont want to have to press fn to access f row

[chrome raft]

I would like to get a 12 key macro board if you know a good one that would be nice

[torn python]

i will most likely just get the razer whenever it becomes available

but idk my keyboard now is pretty nice

[arctic shuttle]

Controversial, but I like this thing

[chrome raft]

That is the largest link I've ever seen

That's to expensive for me

Thats litterally more expensive than my keyboard

[arctic shuttle]

Oh lol ya I have no idea. Check Etsy I guess

[amber tartan]

just get the richard

[sonic cape]

[dusty remnant]

Anyone still on the Fence for the MKC75, they just added Free Stabs to the GB! on top of the Carrying Case, becoming an excellent deal with a few days left

[sonic cape]

where did they add the stabs ?

[sonic cape]

Is it only for their site or for all orders even from vendors ?

[dusty remnant]

It’s all orders

lemme get the link

[sonic cape]

yes pls

[dusty remnant]

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/15z4rk6/gb_mkc75_usd99_full_cnc_case_threeinone_structure/

My first GB/Custom keeb, and it’s turning into one hell of a great experience, very happy after almost getting scared away before i even started by Mechs and Co

[sonic cape]

ok ordered one

💀

[dusty remnant]

let’s go

[arctic shuttle]

Seems pretty cool. Idk about the stabs but the board seems like a cheap way to get into customs

[amber tartan]

im gonna save up for something else although its a great board

[arctic shuttle]

If I didn't already have 2 GB's active id hop on it

[amber tartan]

so true

[arctic shuttle]

And Lord help me for whenever the blueberry actually ships

[main narwhal]

Romac is a cheap 12 key macropad

for a soldering project

[chrome raft]

Is it micro soldering cause I cant do that

[main narwhal]

all through-hole

the hardest part would be soldering the microcontroller into place

[vapid magnet]

heyo! if i wanted a nice mechanical keyboard with a $150 budget what do yall recommend? im not above building one for that pricepoint either

(does ltt have a video similar to the last pc build guide youll need but for keyboards?)

im kind of a noob at keyboard building, its kind of existed in my peripheral vision as a pc hobbyist

[sonic cape]

keychron ?

[vapid magnet]

That is certainly a name I vaguely recognize

Looks like lots of good options! I'll look into them

[swift forge]

If you want a more quirky looking aesthetic perhaps the Ducky line of keyboards

[vapid magnet]

oh i like ducks

[sonic cape]

if you want a new fresh board

try NuPhy

[vapid magnet]

ok

[stray cloud]

building my first ever keyboard, lessgo

ok, more like adding the switches, but still

[dusty remnant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBon6WwkdJE

not nearly as exhsative as the pc build video but covers all the basics and then some

[vapid magnet]

thanks!

[stray cloud]

i regret not buying lube now lol

i never heard the pinging in videos so i thought i'd be fine, but the pings are definitely there

keyboard's done btw :D very happy and only 3 fatalities

gamer lights

[dusty remnant]

Time to dedicate a day and $20 to the grind

Looking good tho

[stray cloud]

i can live with it sorta, since i have noise cancelling headphones, but idk about everyone else around

i'll probably lube them at some point

video audio doesn't do the pings justice tbh

[dusty remnant]

what board is it

[stray cloud]

keychron v3 barebones

with hyperx pbt caps

[dusty remnant]

nice, I just refurbed a used K10 as my first board to learn how to work with the switches/lube. also made the mistake of trying to clean and fix old stabs....

waiting the MKC75 which is still in GB

[stray cloud]

oh, you're comitting to the keyboard hobby, eh?

[dusty remnant]

dipping my toes

[stray cloud]

nice

keyboard hobby is expensive af tho

[dusty remnant]

It's another hobby to hyper fixate on so, and thats true tho, my $99 budget starter board quickley turned into a $200+ order

[stray cloud]

same lol, canceled a non-hotswap kb for this keychron bc i wanted to put the switches in it

[amber tartan]

its a money sink good luck

[stray cloud]

GPL 205G0 is good lube, right?

[dusty remnant]

I also just built my first PC, thanks to finally having some disposable income, little me now gets what he wants lol

[amber tartan]

its the standard lube

[dusty remnant]

what switches are you using

[stray cloud]

cherry mx reds

[stray cloud]

alright. krytox, right?

[amber tartan]

yes

[dusty remnant]

yea 205 would be the way to go, I used 3204 on my mx browns bc they are tactiles

[amber tartan]

HG browns? or just browns

[dusty remnant]

just browns, anyone have expiernce with Quinns?

[humble scarab]

Is there aluminum keyboard that has an audio visualizer? (75%)

[amber tartan]

you mean like an oled screen

[humble scarab]

Where the RGB reacts to the audio

[arctic shuttle]

Razer Synapse and Steel series whatever it's called has option for it

Synapse you need a plug in

[amber tartan]

synapse is ass

[boreal rivet]

another L take for the list

[sonic cape]

what's

wrong with WK

i just like having it there

[verbal zinc]

It is ordered. Halo96 Baby Kangaroo

Nuphy has the Ethereal Field75 Cherry Speed Silver in stock atm - not my color choice for those interested ;p

Waiting for the gravity or electro

[sonic cape]

oh

you didnt take the Baby Racoons ?

[verbal zinc]

wait did i pick racoon or kang aha

[sonic cape]

💀

[verbal zinc]

shit i put kang but its not processed yet

redoing it LOL

[sonic cape]

damn bro

youre welcome

[verbal zinc]

ty

[sonic cape]

i mean kangaroos are good too

[verbal zinc]

successfully cancelled XD

[sonic cape]

but racoons are better

[verbal zinc]

and got raccoon now 😄

[sonic cape]

yo ucan

cancel that

easily ?

[verbal zinc]

and done!

amazon

yeah

[sonic cape]

oh dam

smart

yeah raccoons are sweet

[verbal zinc]

i would order from nuphy directly if they didnt cost more LoL

[sonic cape]

and if you want to get it better colored order the ghostbar from nuphy

in the color you want

[verbal zinc]

10$ coupon makes it about 40$ more

cause DHL bs

[sonic cape]

its like 5usd

[verbal zinc]

will be 25$~ in taxes + 25-30$ in DHL brokerage fees

[sonic cape]

I have like 5 extra ghostbars at home

[verbal zinc]

amazon 19$ USD in customs fees paid up front no bs

[sonic cape]

it works as a great spacebar even for other keebs

[verbal zinc]

hm

not if i have to buy it from nuphy lol

[sonic cape]

its basically a pre dampened

spacebar

[verbal zinc]

maybe when i get my field75

ill add on the spacebar

[sonic cape]

yeah

[verbal zinc]

field75 wont be on amazon anyway

[sonic cape]

i ordered only from nuphy

much cheaper then local

or amazon for me

[verbal zinc]

youre in the US probably?

[sonic cape]

EU

[verbal zinc]

EU!

[sonic cape]

indeed

Czech Republic

[verbal zinc]

those DHL fees

ouch XD

[sonic cape]

nahb

there are none

[verbal zinc]

wow

[sonic cape]

I bought it from them

[verbal zinc]

omg

[sonic cape]

thes ship with 4px express

[verbal zinc]

ah thas why

[sonic cape]

so it takes

9 days

[verbal zinc]

thanks for noticing the kangaroo aha

[sonic cape]

and no customs or tax

[verbal zinc]

bah

[sonic cape]

they ship it via Netherlands

[verbal zinc]

im moving to czech

lmao

[sonic cape]

yeah its super cheap from Nuphy

local stores have them for 40usd more

[verbal zinc]

wow

[sonic cape]

you bought it from which Amazon ?

[verbal zinc]

i wish canada computers had em XD

Amazon USA

[sonic cape]

yeah

[verbal zinc]

amazon canada only has the Air

[sonic cape]

There is some sort of

system that 90% of chinese sellers use

they ship to netherlands via a blank awb

and tax it there en masse

[verbal zinc]

i could also get a field75 on aliexpress

but i dont trust it

[sonic cape]

i do trust ali

[verbal zinc]

how do they have so many in stock when nuphy does not

[sonic cape]

its probably just a

different seller

ali is super legit

i have over 300 orders from Ali

recieved all of them

And if you dont recieve it they refund you

and their refunds are mega fast

in my case at least

[verbal zinc]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005779938228.html

hmm seems to be nuphy official

why dont they sell it on their own site wtf XD

[sonic cape]

yeah thats legit

well they probably have different warehouses

and it can also be an unofficial store

but the field75 on ali comes at 250usd shipped

for me country

because Ali has to charge VAT at checkout

[verbal zinc]

me its bout 300~

[sonic cape]

for most EU countries

[verbal zinc]

around the same as nuphy

[sonic cape]

wait

[verbal zinc]

282 cad

+24 shipping

i can wait for it though, im buying a deckHD screen next week

[verbal zinc]

thats on nuphy eh

[sonic cape]

why is field75 shipping more

yeah

[verbal zinc]

maybe shipped from a different place

[sonic cape]

yeah

thats why I think they have stock on ali

multiple warehouses

but you pay extra

[sonic cape]

from Nuphy i dont pay VAT or customs

[verbal zinc]

yeh

[verbal zinc]

opposite for me

[sonic cape]

what a funny world

[verbal zinc]

lol

[sonic cape]

damn but for 200usd

[verbal zinc]

but you have "free shipping" big whoop hahaha

[sonic cape]

id go for a different board

[verbal zinc]

yeah im gonna wait a while

oh the field is cause i want that design

[sonic cape]

the halo96 was how much total USD ?

[verbal zinc]

sec

checking

it looks cheaper on nuphy but when you factor in DHL it's not

[sonic cape]

yeah ok

its a bit

[verbal zinc]

this is all i pay and thats it

[sonic cape]

costly but its a great board

also its 96%

I compare it to 60-75%

[verbal zinc]

ah yeh

[sonic cape]

so for a 96 with switches keycaps

Tri mode

its good

[verbal zinc]

yep ill most likely use it wirelessly

[sonic cape]

Let me know once you get it

[verbal zinc]

i will 😄

[sonic cape]

and your thoughts too

[verbal zinc]

it comes in when starfield comes out of early access

lol

estimated

sep 6

[sonic cape]

oof

dont talk about starfield

[verbal zinc]

from my experience, it comes in faster

aahaha

[sonic cape]

i need it

[verbal zinc]

i bought premium

[sonic cape]

but i just pre ordered

[verbal zinc]

on steam

[sonic cape]

4 keyboards

[verbal zinc]

LOL oh god

i was gonna get 2 kbs

i got starfield instead

and 1 kb

[sonic cape]

cycle 7, 2x neo65, mkc75

[verbal zinc]

i have game pass but i wanted premium

and my gf wants to play too

[sonic cape]

ill probably find the money

but

[verbal zinc]

so she gonna play on my gamepass and im gonna play on steam

[sonic cape]

my friends wont be able to play it

cuz their pcs arent up to it

[verbal zinc]

and they refuse to cloud gaming it

[sonic cape]

the minimum req is a 5700

[verbal zinc]

?

ye

[sonic cape]

yeah only 2 of my friends have

[verbal zinc]

im on a 10700k

[sonic cape]

gigabit fiber

[verbal zinc]

and 3070

[sonic cape]

im on 5800X3d and 4080

but most of my friends have ryzen 5 2600

and gtx 1660, 1080 or 5600xt

so they gonna suffer

[verbal zinc]

my VM is on a gtx 1080 + i9 9900K

[sonic cape]

they all have PS5s but its xbox only

[verbal zinc]

but I only gave the VM 8 of the threads

[sonic cape]

what use is a VM ?

[verbal zinc]

it's part of my homelab server

i had bought a 3070 to replace my 1080. so i slapped it in to my server and put it on a vm

cause i can XD

it's the guest gaming system over moonlight gamestream

[sonic cape]

oh

yeah im a student so

im not in that space yet

[verbal zinc]

yeh i started that homelab server during covid lockdowns

[sonic cape]

i have 2 pcs but my apartment doesnt have that space for even a mini server

[verbal zinc]

it's as addictive as your keyboard addiction

ah

mine is in the livingroom XD

[sonic cape]

damn

how big is your house ?

[verbal zinc]

we wanted a fractal north tower but it doesnt hold many HDDs

[sonic cape]

square feet

[verbal zinc]

no idea

[sonic cape]

big ?

[verbal zinc]

2 bedroom apartment lol

[sonic cape]

yeah me too

but i dont have a living room really

i have a kitchen+dining

[verbal zinc]

its squished next to the tv stand

[sonic cape]

and then my room is my room+living room

[verbal zinc]

i got a fractal define XL in somehow

[sonic cape]

oof

that nuphy will serve well also as a couch keyboard

haha

[verbal zinc]

and it looks good in there doesnt look like a PC is there

aha i wanted the field for that XD

but yes it will!

[sonic cape]

it comes with that 2.4ght adapter

[verbal zinc]

it should reach the livingroom without connecting it to the nvidia shield

my gaming room is in the middle of the apartment

and all the rooms kinda swirl around it

[sonic cape]

yeah american homes are more easily furnishable

[verbal zinc]

really nice for wireless gaming

[sonic cape]

the walls are not that thick

and you can always change stuff easily

[verbal zinc]

Linus would cringe at how wireless my gaming setup is lol

onoo latency XD

[sonic cape]

meh

[verbal zinc]

its ok i plan to make them cringe at LTX next year

[sonic cape]

i grew in a home where gaming wasnt allowed

so once i got into it

i just wanted the best of the best

[verbal zinc]

we bringing a steam deck, a laptop, a few raspberry pis and some portable screens

oo

i grew in a home where money was not plenty

so if i wanted to game, i had to get a job and buy my things

[sonic cape]

oh yeam mine was the oposite haha

we have tons of money but my father was super restrictive haha

[verbal zinc]

hence my tech addiction was created XD

lol

[sonic cape]

lets hope

amazon ships fast

[verbal zinc]

yee

[sonic cape]

[verbal zinc]

"canada parcel"

[sonic cape]

[verbal zinc]

fml

[sonic cape]

the courier arrived at my housing

didnt see my outside at the time he was there

i had no way to know he has arrived

and he left

and then he dropped off the package at the other side of Halifax

[verbal zinc]

fml

[sonic cape]

1h30 from my housing

[verbal zinc]

DHL does that too

[sonic cape]

so i just yelled at them and then cancelled

[verbal zinc]

"come to our warehouse" "no second delivery"

need a car to get to it ffs

[sonic cape]

well

i mean

they said my name wasnt on the list

to ring

[verbal zinc]

TO RING?

[sonic cape]

but it was student housing

[verbal zinc]

lmao

[sonic cape]

so there would have to be

500 names

its a student housing on campus

[verbal zinc]

amazon always texts me "we can't figure out how to get in your front door"

in my apartment building

there's a touch screen on the wall, with a search function

to use the intercom

[sonic cape]

yeah luckily the room for packages in my housing had a deal with amazobn

[verbal zinc]

NEVER used

[sonic cape]

and canada post

[verbal zinc]

to this day XD

[sonic cape]

so that was easy

but since the driver wasnt amazon

but canpar

they didnt let him leave it there

[verbal zinc]

jeezh

[arctic shuttle]

1 thumbs up on this comment and I'll buy an apex mini to desolder, lube and film the switches

Say less

[verbal zinc]

[arctic shuttle]

Damn right I did

[sonic cape]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/813017119654281246.png?size=64&quality=lossless

[arctic shuttle]

Alright I pick up the apex mini after work

[sonic cape]

[desert zinc]

seeing the nuphy air v2 uses QMK, i hope they release a new halo that also uses QMK. id probably buy it

[sonic cape]

halo75 v2 ?

[desert zinc]

yeah hopefully

[cyan narwhal]

I know its dumb but i traded a penny to my boss man at work for a logitech g610 keyboard we had laying around gathering dust 😅 penny was from 1905 an wasnt i great condition

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

[arctic shuttle]

Wait, are those the romer g switches

[sonic cape]

y

[arctic shuttle]

Just curious is all, brings back memories

[sonic cape]

oh

i meant to say y

as in yes

but I am wrong

g610 is cherry MX

[arctic shuttle]

Ahhh ya idk alot about what Logitech was doing with their keyboards

[humble scarab]

Can I get a recommendation for white metal case, barebones keyboard and audio visualizer in the software?

[sonic cape]

psd60 (defender, SE), bakeneko, tofu60, mojo60

[arctic shuttle]

Bakeneko only gonna be white led though

[sonic cape]

he wanted a case or a barebones kit ?

i dont really understand

[arctic shuttle]

He wants a case, PCB, like that kinda kit

Not a keychron prebuilt

[sonic cape]

ah

DIY kit ?

[arctic shuttle]

Ya bare bones

[dire ice]

There are keychron barebones

[arctic shuttle]

He wants his keyboard to have an audio visualizer effect

[dusty remnant]

New Razor V4 best bet, and it has a roller. but is prebuilt only i think, hot-swap tho

[arctic shuttle]

Either that or the steelseries apex pro

[dusty remnant]

true, more widely available rn too

[arctic shuttle]

Apex 9 looks pretty cool too

[dusty remnant]

i don’t have any experience with GG other than my headphones, but it is a solid driver for that. plus they have cool little extras like the Aim trainer and stuff that i think provides a little backend value for using it as well. (I got locked out of GG for like 3 months for no reason tho so)

[amber tartan]

https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx2a.html

revolutionary

[dawn swan]

still trash because the switches have electrical contact leafs in them

fully outclassed by optical, capacitive, and hall effect

microsecond debounce that does not get worse over time vs "1ms" that is more like 5-10 in reality and worsens as they wear

[cyan narwhal]

oks idk what keys i have on this g610 but i love them i liek the clicks on them now i can tell when i click a key

[arctic shuttle]

Ever seen a hall effect PCB

[boreal rivet]

Oh man hooty looks like shit

On a completely unrelated note I’m selling this set for 150usd

Dm me ☺️

[muted karma]

how surprising that gmk with UV sublegends looks like shit

[boreal rivet]

I somehow forgot gmk doesn't do tripleshot

my fault my fault

[sonic cape]

[vale flint]

Guys wth is this keyboard button

[verbal zinc]

kinda like a right click

Left click on your desktop, then press that button

[vale flint]

Ohh

[verbal zinc]

Or click on an icon, and press it

[vale flint]

Thanks

[verbal zinc]

most useless button ever because it goes on the right of the keyboard

[vale flint]

I thought it was a copy paste button

[verbal zinc]

and why would you let go of your mouse when you can right click with it 😄

aha np

they should change that button to the "Push to talk" or something

and move it to the left of the kb

[verbal zinc]

had to look a few times, stil not sure what those are!

[sleek bronze]

Hehe

[verbal zinc]

not enough keys to be keyboard, sim rig??

[sleek bronze]

It's my keyboard lmao

[verbal zinc]

XD

i would use that for elite dangerous/x4 etc... and joysticks lol

but as a keyboard what how !

[sleek bronze]

It's a 34 keys

[verbal zinc]

well i guess you can have your qwerty

i had to count the keys on my board lmao

[sleek bronze]

Next step

And it's colemak not qwerty

[valid siren]

I don't know who recommended me the yellow switches when i asked for brown switches to switch FROM blue switches

Whoever you are

Thank you

Gateron Yellow Pro 2s are so good

I just realised how keyboards are supposed to sound like.

Thanks again you are a good man/woman

[arctic shuttle]

yeah not really

[viral olive]

I prefer %80 and budget is almost around $200. The west of the us

[sonic cape]

[viral olive]

Idc if it’s prebuilt, as long as it’s not mainstream consumer brand

Link?

[sonic cape]

Silent ? Loud ?

[viral olive]

Mid-loud

[sonic cape]

[sonic cape]

Id go with maybe a Monsgeek

130usd + switches and keycaps

[viral olive]

Mans speaking my language

[sonic cape]

Yeah

M1 or M3

[viral olive]

I love that aesthetic

[sonic cape]

I have the M3

which is TKL

You can find some switches and some keycaps with it, should fit the 200usd

maybe a little over

[viral olive]

Is the m3 newer?

[sonic cape]

nah just different size

m1 is a bit smaller, m3 is TKL

[viral olive]

Do you know if any that keep the keypad?

[sonic cape]

you mean numpad ,

?

If you want the numpad you need 96% or full size

[viral olive]

There are keyboards that are not full-size but have the numpad

[viral olive]

96 then

I just wanna look at em

Debating

[sonic cape]

monsgeek m5

you mean this size ?

yeah 320-450eur

[viral olive]

I love that layout

Windx

98

[sonic cape]

yeah the almost full size ones are great

they look great and you keep the numpad

[viral olive]

They out of stock

[sonic cape]

[boreal rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-phil-hair-loss-wig-take-the-l-gif-25580887

[sonic cape]

[boreal rivet]

This is stock

Average mx idiot be like

[sonic cape]

Damn you toxic as f 😄

Go enjoy your 2nd hand busted boards

[boreal rivet]

[boreal rivet]

I'll keep preaching until somebody listens

[fiery drum]

[gilded swan]

dierya dk63, rk 98 and keychron k10 wireless

[valid siren]

Found yellows to be better

[arctic shuttle]

But, have you tried vint browns?

[amber tartan]

i recommend them

the chalky feel is much more subtle

and the bump is more noticeable

only downside is that you need to pry them from old cherry boards

also i need an opinion whether or not if i should just buy a new alu plate or cut a PC plate

i also want a new pcb because im lazy and i hate desoldering

[west quartz]

[amber tartan]

[boreal rivet]

Topre

[river wharf]

[boreal rivet]

Topre is super thocky!!!!

[river wharf]

I can’t put them on the zoom 75

[amber tartan]

[boreal rivet]

Just buy a realforce

[amber tartan]

[arctic shuttle]

Oil Kings with mt3 caps

Big thock

[river wharf]

I ended up with these https://invokeys.com/products/invokeys-black-sesame-switches?variant=42090048356510

[arctic shuttle]

Lost me at "springs are donut-dipped"

[arctic shuttle]

Ordered 100 of these though, the b-stock ones.

"inspired by MX Browns" I'm interested

[river wharf]

Oooh. Make sure to send me a sound bit

[arctic shuttle]

If they suck, I'm just gonna salvage the stems and put them in browns

[river wharf]

Bet

[arctic shuttle]

That or I put the stems in T1 housings for BIGGGG BUMP

[river wharf]

I will be there

[arctic shuttle]

If you are interested, I spend $37 with shipping for 100 count of the b-stock switches, you just need to throw them in the ultrasonic cleaner, but $.37 a switch for an aflion switch is wild

[river wharf]

Ooh. I might get those after I use the ones i bought. Kinda wanna explore the scene since I’m kinda new

[arctic shuttle]

I feel ya, I hope I didn't buy the rest of the b-stock

[river wharf]

Hehe

[arctic shuttle]

I'm existing, doing some meme shit

You like my Apex Pro

[sonic cape]

Im still waiting for my acr pro68

my friend already recieved his

[arctic shuttle]

Akko shipping my homie

Hit or miss

[sonic cape]

he said the stabs are really nicely tuned

[arctic shuttle]

Akko stabs are pretty decent stock ya

[sonic cape]

but could use some work on the switches

apparently the crystal whites are good but not for this board

ill maybe switch it out with some milky yellows

[arctic shuttle]

Idk I used Jelly Blacks and didn't like them

[sonic cape]

i have jelly blacks

in my closet

i wanna put them in my psd60

but still waiting on durock stabs

[arctic shuttle]

Listen I need your opinion tho, did you like my Apex Pro

[sonic cape]

[sonic cape]

[arctic shuttle]

I know what you're thinking

[sonic cape]

[sonic cape]

feet?

[arctic shuttle]

It's an apex pro

[sonic cape]

is it?

i dont wanna believe it

[arctic shuttle]

Ya

[sonic cape]

no way

the case is apex pro?

[arctic shuttle]

Gasket mounted apex pro

[arctic shuttle]

Kbdfans D60lite lazurite

[sonic cape]

damn bro

that's unbelievable

[arctic shuttle]

Nothing a Dremel tool couldn't fit

[sonic cape]

gasket mounted

[arctic shuttle]

Oh ya

[sonic cape]

Thats crazy

the switches sound good?

[arctic shuttle]

You tell me

[sonic cape]

sounds like microwave popcorn haha

but that's very enjoyable

I have no idea how you managed it but great work

[arctic shuttle]

A little bit of grinding and soldering

[boreal rivet]

I sincerely hope you didn't dremel the pcb without a respirator

[arctic shuttle]

Who needs a respirator when you have an exhaust fan

[dusk crescent]

What mechanical keyboard would anyone recommend for gaming and is quite cheap?!

[arctic shuttle]

What is cheap

[stray cloud]

I got a keychron, they're cheap but hotswap and good quality. you can even get one barebones

cheap in terms of mechanical keyboards

if you don't care about plastic or led light shining through it, it's pretty good

[dusty remnant]

i rebuilt a used k10 for about $75 bucks all together, if you want cheaper than that honestly i wouldn’t go with a Mech. at least not a hot swap board since most of the decent ones start a minimum $99. there are budget options on amazon that you’ll find youtube videos on if you wanna get creative tho. As far as gaming, i don’t think you’ll notice any difference for about any mechanical board other than your own preferences in switches (obv excluding the wooting)

[dusk crescent]

ok thanks!

[chrome raft]

Keycult

[arctic shuttle]

You are a mad lad

[chrome raft]

how did ya know bud

[arctic shuttle]

Keycult is basically irrelevant anymore, go with a TGR

[chrome raft]

they got money lets them waste it in a capitalism country

[boreal rivet]

What

[amber tartan]

that also irrelevant now

OTDs are where its at

typed one at a meet, so cool

[arctic shuttle]

If Jane's were irrelevant, why they still do popular and hella money

OTD's are cool though

[amber tartan]

because OTDs are even more expensive and rarer

[arctic shuttle]

I do like a nice otd

I do REALLY want a TGR Police but I can't find one that isn't inflated to fuck all

[boreal rivet]

Realforce better anyway

[amber tartan]

i agree
