[drifting mauve]

yeah

[magic wolf]

Perfect thank you.

Any suggestions for a bareboard that QMK/VIA capable?

[drifting mauve]

[magic wolf]

Barebones*

[drifting mauve]

He filled the caps with elmers glue

It sounds amazing

[magic wolf]

Let me check that out

[drifting mauve]

He also filled the case with pennies and did a janky gasket mount mod

Its pretty sick

some points of the video are really boring and scietific tho

I almost fell asleep to it 😴

[magic wolf]

Isn’t weights more of a “feel” thing rather than sound signature thing?

Harder to slide around

[drifting mauve]

I would dissagree

[magic wolf]

I’m asking as an amateur here

[drifting mauve]

one of the main properties of determining acoustic profile is weight and density

[magic wolf]

I’m sure I have plenty of small flat heavy things, I’ll factor that when I foam up

[drifting mauve]

Or just use coins

Ima get a wk61 and line the inside of the case with silicone

[magic wolf]

I gotta get a barebones that lets you disassemble from 4 corner screws

[drifting mauve]

Not even really for acustics, I just don't want the rgb to shine through the case
I'm gonna get the transparent blue one

the sound is a bonus tho

[magic wolf]

Those centered middle post things are a nightmare

[drifting mauve]

Bro your keyboard is gonna be more expensive than mine

[magic wolf]

I honestly have a $200 budget for the barebones rn

[drifting mauve]

Ibe bought several highish end keebs but I keep returning them becoase I get buyers remorse

[magic wolf]

That’s how I feel about the gmmk2.

[drifting mauve]

I got a gmmk 2 last week from best buy
I returned it
its not great for the money

my rk61 with milky yellows sounds and feels better than it

granted its a heavily modded rk61

[magic wolf]

The switches are what I’m looking for tho. Silent linears. Decent feel

Just want it quieter

[magic wolf]

Switches are relatively cheap as far as the build goes. That something you recommend for a dead silent setup?

[drifting mauve]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ilzCmA10mw

I rember this video

[magic wolf]

I’m still listening to that first video

[drifting mauve]

I watched it a very long time ago

[magic wolf]

And he getting real sciencey

[drifting mauve]

😴

[drifting mauve]

oh theres also hhkb topre keyboards but they are very expensive

they sounds swishy

think of like a membrane board but more whispy

[magic wolf]

I don’t care too much for sound signature as long as pings, twangs, reverb is kept to a bare minimum

[magic wolf]

That sounds impossible. A mechanical keyboard bottom out….

Must be some stiff springs

[drifting mauve]

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

perfect example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maeO_XwbpDg&t=14s

real perfect example

(For real this time)

(I dug through my search history)

[magic wolf]

Appreciate you sending so much resources man

But idk how I feel about this one

[drifting mauve]

np :)

[magic wolf]

If I had to describe it, sounds “chalky”

[drifting mauve]

I agree

[magic wolf]

Holy shit

It sounds so goddam good

In your opinion, does masking tape behind a pcb not insulate the sound and actually feel louder?

[drifting mauve]

For my knowledge its mostly to pretect the pcb from whatever is behind it
Like if you decide to put coins or sand or some other weird shit

[west yew]

Got my nephew a new keyboard. I think I won best tech gifts. Other than the PS5 the family is getting him for for Xmas

I have the same one

[magic wolf]

Ballin out on the child sheeesh

[drifting mauve]

best buy ass build

(I work at best buy)

[magic wolf]

And very glad it’s not a Razer, Steelseries etc

[west yew]

Right? I spent so much for a 10 year old techie
I got it from the site because their sale started before best buys

[magic wolf]

Only reason I got an GMMK2, only QMK capable thing ya had

[west yew]

Lol he runs the best buy?

[magic wolf]

He represented himself as the Best Buy guy

[drifting mauve]

Glorious is the only custom keeb shit at best buy

other than that its just shitty gaming brands

[magic wolf]

I like the cables

[west yew]

I was shocked when they started carrying them TBH

[magic wolf]

It earned my business, prefer to shop local as much as possible

[west yew]

FYI my nephew has been shit talking on Roblox since he was 3 and telling his mom what to write back at the people talking shit to him. Now he just shit talks back faster than I can.

[magic wolf]

Honestly not the worst way to raise a touch typist

[west yew]

He hit like 81 wpm while sitting in a bad angle and his baby brother bothering him.

Kids these days. Damn

[magic wolf]

It’s cool what YouTube has done, even if it’s cringe, 12 year olds know what a gpu does

[west yew]

He discovered Linus and learned a lot from him. He learned to use Google translate to talk to Spanish speakers in Roblox. The fact they can find how to videos and learn or figure out how to use their resources is amazing

[magic wolf]

Learning to / how to search for solutions online is something my parents are incapable of doing and they’re successful.

Hell with computers knowing what to query is almost enough to be a full time in house IT guy

[west yew]

I took him to LTX 2023. We got in the video for the making a PC booth. Little dude is gonna go places. He asks all the right questions. He wants to learn. I got so lucky having a great nephew like him

Dude loves running a windows 98 build for the sounds

sorry i just like bragging about the little guy

[drifting mauve]

awww

[boreal rivet]

no

it is to make it sound different

that said, you should put cement in your keyboard

[west yew]

wet or dry?

[boreal rivet]

Wet of course

[magic wolf]

https://goblintechkeys.com/products/weikav-sugar65-65-aluminum-alloy-keyboard-barebone-kit

Decent barebone?

Arnt aluminum chassis louder/reverb?

[magic wolf]

Okay this is ludicrous pricing but

Holy shit https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q7-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40068642996313

Two layer keys, a full sized shift, full options panel

Ight this is the one.

I’m scamming myself buying the barebones arnt I

[magic wolf]

Welp that’s all she wrote.

Hope pairs real nicely with these

[boreal rivet]

Should’ve just bought a realforce

[drifting mauve]

You don't get the cool mac g3 lookin font tho

[drifting mauve]

or one of these mfrs

[boreal rivet]

?

[magic wolf]

Where tf were you 20 minutes ago

[magic wolf]

Damn that’s hot

How have I never heard of these

[boreal rivet]

Because most keyboard “enthusiasts” seem to think cherry Mx and derivatives are the only switches that exist

[magic wolf]

Part of me wants to cancel my order…..

But another part of me thinks that two layer keys is too good to pass up.

It’s the exact sound signature I’m going for too. It’s a…well. Hm. It sounds a lot like an IBM model F but damper

Quieter

I just wish this name came across before I paid

[boreal rivet]

its right here though?

[magic wolf]

Yeah you right.

Damn….I think I ended up glancing at it as in that moment I was just looking for a barebone

[sonic cape]

yes but it's a gasket build isn't it?

so that eliminates a lot of vibrations

[magic wolf]

I won’t claim that I know jack shit about keyboard modding but what I do know is metal is an excellent carrier of sound

[sonic cape]

Yes

but a gasket metal keyboard dampens the vibrations

that's why it's so good, because it's all metal build but the plate sits on silicone gaskets

or O rings or whatever

[jagged oriole]

What can I do if my keyboard keeps pressing buttons that aren’t the ones being pressed, and going to google via a button randomly, I’ve tried resetting but nothing

Even tried changing the language but nothing

If i click “O” it puts “op” instead and U for google shortcut

[sonic cape]

maybe a short

[jagged oriole]

How can I change the short?

It also flickers with lighting when I didn’t change anything

[sonic cape]

what board is it ?

[pliant reef]

is the keychron k8 pro good for competitive gaming?

i heard the latency is pretty high compared to other ''gaming'' keyboards

[sullen trail]

i wouldn't worry about that

sure the switches aren't the "fastest"

but you could swap them if you really needed to

[pliant reef]

true

[sullen trail]

but if you are gaming at the level where keyboard latency matters you'll have sponsors who give you a keyboard lol

[pliant reef]

it got hot swap

[pliant reef]

ok thx

i already ordered it anyways but i just wanted to know

[sullen trail]

lol

yea you'll be fine

enjoy your keyboard

[long vortex]

So who buys a 1000$usd set of 109 keys witches

Lol I saw a set of 109 key switches for 1279usd

[void geyser]

AK 873 + Akko OEM pbt caps

• akko gateron pinks

real scratchy as hell but it's the only linear I have

[deft wadi]

Trying to decide which of these two setups to run.

A) Glorious Model D Wireless Mouse and Glorious GMMK2 Keyboard.

B) Razer Viper 8KHz Mouse and Razer Huntsman V2 Keyboard.

I already own both setups. Just not sure which to use as a main.

[magic wolf]

Can anyone describe to me what these are based off of / similar to https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9199

[magic wolf]

Gmmk by nature of software alone

The huntsman has a very janky ass switch that wobbles too

Another pro is that you also have the option to not use any software at all

You can flash QMK.VIA firmware onto it and configure it entirely thru a browser

Or if you wanna get really advanced. Get crazy with your json file

[long vortex]

i wish i was making up finding a set of 109 switches for 1279$ usd

who in their right mind would pay that for switches

[magic wolf]

Basic supply demand. Same concept as supreme hoodies
Jordan’s
Anime figures
Motherfing baseball cards

Keyboard no different.

Goodwill hoodie keep you warm like a Lenovo membrane packaged with a computer

[burnt venture]

so im looking for a new keyboard and not sure wich one is the best all around. Came across the apex pro tkl, razer blackwidow v4 75% and the logitech g pro x tkl. any tips or difference suggestions?

[jagged oriole]

Razor v3

[sonic cape]

Razor ?

[muted karma]

gilette?

[sonic cape]

Mach 3?

[turbid sigil]

i have the razer Deathstalker v2 pro tkl and it is fuking amazing

[icy drum]

what are some good 60% or TKL white keyboards with "creamy" switches for around 100-150 eur ?

[sonic cape]

for what use?

[sonic cape]

check out Akko or Nuphy

or Iquinix

[icy drum]

wait actually its probably better if i just get new switches and a white keycap set

do u recommend any switches

[boreal rivet]

topre

[burnt venture]

Mostly gaming and just typing/school related

[burnt venture]

would you prefer that over the blackwidow v4 75%?

[turbid sigil]

The widow has very slightly better build quality over all but abs keys are much worse. I prefer the deathstalker because it is wireless and isn’t that clicky

The keycaps of the widow I think also feel kinda inconsistent

Hope that helped!!

[sonic cape]

Dont buy those stupid gaming brands

[burnt venture]

yes thanks alot 😄

[burnt venture]

then what is your suggestion?

[sonic cape]

What is your budget ?

[burnt venture]

around 200/300 if custom it can be a bit more

[sonic cape]

damn

If you want a TKL thats nicely built check out a wk870

a more expensive variant Monsgeek M3

[burnt venture]

would you say a custom keyboard is that much better?

[sonic cape]

Well

There is the experience of building it

Then you get to chose everything you want yourself

and yes the build quality is amazing most of the time

[burnt venture]

problem is i have no idea what is good and what is not

[sonic cape]

Well you should define what sound you want

and how you want it to look

also if you want it made from acrylic or plastic or metal

Id say if you dont want to spend time looking at milions of people´s different ideas, go with a Mode keyboard

If you want something more oriented for the masses a Monsgeek si great

[burnt venture]

thats like a keyboard builder?

[sonic cape]

Mode is a keyboard company

[boreal rivet]

note that better to them is "better sound" mostly

[burnt venture]

ahhh okay i see

[burnt venture]

but performance wise it doesnt change that much?

[sonic cape]

its not noticable

some keys may be called Speed or even the new Hall effect which are ultra fast but its too early to tell

99% of switches are identical in gaming performance in my opinion

[burnt venture]

so is there a difference between those new apex pro switches and normal mechanical ? or is it all just to sell the keyboard

[sonic cape]

Eh

Yeah but if you are not a

super mega pro gamer you will not notice it 😄

if you want advice on specifics dm me

so we dont bomb this channel

[burnt venture]

will do

[unkempt dome]

lot if it is marketing bullshit

wk870 is really nice
I have it and a friend of mine has it ... he plays osu on it and don't have any problem with it ...

[long vortex]

Hmm how bad could set of aliexprees silent black prelubed key switches be the list at $2
75 for 110 switches

[magic wolf]

Super excited

Random question I’ve never had screw in stabilizers before I take it you don’t Band-Aid mod these

[chrome raft]

I got this budget 60% mechanical keyboard from amazon for $30. It comes with a ucb-C cable. You can choose out of brown, blue or red switches. I chose brown switches cause they sound good in my opinion. The only thing that’s a minus point with the keyboard is that it only has one LED color which is blue.
It’s the dierya DK61se.

It looks good tho ngl

[hearty quest]

does anybody know tactile switchs that have a big bump and are cheaper

best ive found are JWK T1 Blacks

[boreal rivet]

Topre 55g

[wooden ember]

you can. I use foam padding stickers on mine

[magic wolf]

Same method with pushing the clip and lifting up? Or under the whole bar itself

https://youtu.be/MLwlwDTyngw?si=I51fnntNfzPw0ege

Nvm this answers it all

Just trying to keep things quiet and stab keys need all the loving

[boreal rivet]

Just get tx stabs

[magic wolf]

Nah the keychron stabs should already be decent

[lilac osprey]

I’m excited for my new keyboard to come in tomorrow

[coral ferry]

I'm not sure they know what pcb is

[warped lion]

whats the difference between tactile and linear switches?

I see this on a keyboard im hoping to get... not sure which one is better... by the looks of it it looks almost the same...

[sonic cape]

tactile has a tactile bump in the travel

linear is smooth all the way

[rustic plover]

where can i buy or build a keyboard under ~$150 that'll sound nice and "thocky" but still be good for gaming

i'm down to get some switches w a low actuation for the gaming side of it but try to keep the deep sound

[wooden ember]

If you want to buy caps seperately too, the Stellar65 is a great beginner board for that price https://spaceholdings.net/products/stellar65?variant=43276168429826

https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo70 this is a good buy too

[rustic plover]

eesh. they don't even got a white

let me rephrase. i'm trying to find specifically a 65% maybe a little bigger of a board that's generally beige and white

i'm gonna add some green accents for keycaps but i can do that myself

will probably go with the 2048 beige set

[rustic plover]

what are the contents of the board from this link? would i just need switches and keycaps? looks like it's got everything except for that

[wooden ember]

The one I linked you is a frosted acrylic, so like white if you also turn the LEDs white too.

[wooden ember]

That page shows you the contents. You select the parts to the board you want and thern you supply your own switches, stabilizers and caps

[rustic plover]

got it. and what's the difference between these two?

google isn't being helpful

[wooden ember]

one is just wired and one is wire + bt/2.4ghz I think

flex cuts are these slices in the pcb that give it a lot of flex but a lot of people don't seem to like them so they are non-flex cut boards to stiffen up the typing feel a bit

[rustic plover]

gotcha, makes sense. thank you !

[dire veldt]

Neo70 solid

[long vortex]

i rant on glorious keyboards discord about lost shippents and slow lead times on orders on amazon and only a random non staff member speaks up to support the company that has provided the worst ordering experance ive seen

they earned me never considering their products ever again or me recomending their products

im being nice and not just reviewing the keyboard now

[rustic plover]

aigh aigh

have you owned?

[dire veldt]

Na but the specs are not bad at all

Gasket mount or gummy o ring mount, multiple plate options, separate nav cluster pcb, designed with disassembly in mind, alu case, and this is subjective but imo nice weight and colour options too

[rustic plover]

yea it doesn't sound bad it is a little loud after looking at some sound tests but i need to research more into what makes a keyboard a little quieter and deeper instead of "clicky"

i'm sure i could j stuff the case though?

foam or something or the sort

i read that switches are only really a part of the sound but not what makes up for all of it

[long vortex]

i pray that glorious makes a perfect keyboard barebones

otherwise they wont crack 2 star review

my nightmare of a ordering experance is worth -3stars

slow lead time on products

5 days and still not shipped out

one lost in the mail

the free replacement wont show up till next year!

i thought ordering a keyboard was order wait for shipping and done

i know that usps loosing a package isnt their fault

but replacing so slowly it is their fault

[sleek bronze]

Ktt matcha or dark amber T1 for Q1

[rustic plover]

@wooden ember whatchu think of this for a budget board

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005680131423.html

[echo knoll]

https://www.axiomstudios.shop/collections/typ-series/products/in-stock-typ60sl

ordered this today , am excited to get it

[boreal rivet]

Should’ve just bought a hhkb

[echo knoll]

it has all 3 layouts

hhkb,winkeyless & winkey

[boreal rivet]

Don’t care didn’t ask

[last saffron]

i have a used ducky keyboard i got for 99

[wooden ember]

0 reviews. Ehhhh.

[calm kayak]

@echo knoll let us know how it is@

!

[rustic plover]

particular listing might be bad but i've heard the brand is a good budget brand

[long vortex]

i have a odd question

i was blocked from paypal community due to my username wich i use everywere

they want me to change it but i cant access the site to change it

how do i fix this issue

your username is banned change it!

lol

sometimes stuff makes no sense

[eager cedar]

any one know a good full sized keyboard thats not too loud for late night gaming and typing but still mechanical and a budget of 75 to 90

if i could get it on amazon that would be great

[long vortex]

anything other than a glorious keyboard!

[long vortex]

my experance TRYING to buy a glorious keyboard on amazon has been frustrating

[sleek bronze]

Then buy a keychron

[long vortex]

i got money in a glorious wich i cant seem to recive

they are in no hurry to ship out keyboards

nor to replace lost shipments

they wont get a good review

no chance of that

[clear yew]

is that a modded keychron v2?

[sleek bronze]

Red is Q2, blue is Q1
Why modded ?

[clear yew]

ignore mousepad, here’s mine

i wanted some new keycaps, green is possible

[sleek bronze]

Oh yeah you could have taken the photo without the LEDs, I see nothing

Mines were barebone and iso not Ansi

So no caps nor switches stock

[clear yew]

ah yeah makes sense i got mine pre-made

[clear yew]

my apologies i hope you are not blind

[oak aurora]

what are some good 100% keyboards?

[long vortex]

wonder how glorious will respond to me saying " ok im done

one sec copy paste didnt work

if by thursday of my second wasted vacation week i dont have to keyboard i ordered im returning the keycaps and key switches i ordered with this keyboard
not only will i burn ties with glorious i am done period!
congrats on the customer experance that might turn a customer off customizable keyboards in general!

i meen when a customer is at this point you as the keyboard manufacturer failed at your one job

[gilded topaz]

NCR80-R3 on the way

[gilded topaz]

I haven't used it but when I asked this I was reccomended the keychron Q6

Though from what I can gather you should consider an 80% with a separate numpad.

[boreal rivet]

No one cares!

Pretty much everyone knows glorious is ass

It’s on you for not doing your research beforehand

[granite olive]

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

[sleek bronze]

Buy a 75%

[sonic cape]

why are you so agressive

[sonic cape]

what is this useless advice

[sonic cape]

akko 3098b plus from akko is a nice budget option

[sleek bronze]

Because it's a good one

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[sonic cape]

I would like to buy a family 7 seater SUV, yeah sure here is a small hot hatch

thats how stupid your advice sounded

I would love for my friends to have nice small boards but they all work with numbers and thus they need a numpad, stop suggesting something people don´t ask for if they have needs you´re not aware of

[sleek bronze]

I work with numbers too (programmer and math background) and having a 100% is a loss of ergonomics for two reasons
First it f'up the ergonomics of the mouse, you have to put it further to the right (and you'll hit more often the keeb too) which then means your arm is not in the right position, OR the keyboard will be too much to the left which will be also not good ergo-wise
Second, having to go and reach for the numbers is not ergo, it's way too far away and it is a loss of time, it's painfully slower

It's just a question of habits, when you get used to it you never miss it honestly

But I agree the way I phrased all of this was deeply dumb indeed

Also I know for a fact people will give good advices for a 100% keyboard, so one guy saying to look at 75% isn't that bad, and maybe he didn't look at them or smth, but yeah once again I could have phrased it differently

[sonic cape]

A well structured argument, I understand your viewpoint thank you

Honestly I found the Akko 3098B Plus a great budget choice for people wanting hotswap rgb with numpad

but yeah a 75% is sweet

[sleek bronze]

I don't know about it honestly

[sonic cape]

its a tray mounted 90usd hotswap

sounds decent

[sleek bronze]

this is my keyboards lmao

[sonic cape]

damn

ok

im more of a normal keyboard user tbh haha

[boreal rivet]

Bro really displays the most boring keyboards I’ve ever seen

[sleek bronze]

I also have the Q1, Q2 a fully custom diy aluminium full size southpaz, a corne and a 65% choc spaced choc low profile

But now I don't want rectangles anymore

Still I like your wall of keyboards, I need something like that

And I like the red one

(I like colorful stuff lmao as you may have seen in the above screenshot)

[nova flax]

hehehehe got my first mech keeb

keychron v1

all stock tho

I'm getting pulled into this rabbit hole too quickly

my wallet cant keep up

[sleek bronze]

Don't fall

Buy an oled tv

[boreal rivet]

So true

Hey guys does this resellers website look sus to you guys? They seem to be brand new but are they a scam or are they legit ?

keebsmod was the websites name

[dusty spade]

https://wooting.io/wooting-60he

[dawn swan]

still probably better than a redragon or glorious

[wary goblet]

Planning to "build" a keyboard is it a easy or hard process

Should I just buy 1

[gilded topaz]

[boreal rivet]

Yes just buy a realforce

[main narwhal]

I want to make another dactyl

I miss mine

[twilit sundial]

where could i buy a coiled cable that is not overpriced af? (eu)
i was thinking about this: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/thermoplastic-polyurethane-Mechanical-Removable-Connector/dp/B0C8M88RB2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DWTM55TBTL1F
but with the shipping it still seems a bit expensive

[shrewd anvil]

Rate my keyboard

Board: Idobao id87 v2
switches: c3 equalz tangerines v2 (self lubed + filmed)
keycaps: two sets of aliexpress keycaps combined.
Stabs: durock v2 plate mounted
Mods: tape mod (3 layers), bubblewrap inside, holee mod in everything but space, self made “paper mod” (paper in the middle of stab keys)

[astral horizon]

That looks pretty cool. I like the caps to the left that you most commonly use for gaming, being a different colour.

[rotund kernel]

hi guys - i am new to custom keyboard and need recommendation. i am looking for a 75% wireless keyboard with knob and 4 nav keys.

initially i am looking at monsgeek m1w however, still looking if there are better boards. Since this board doesn't support via/qmk

keychron q1 pro could be good- but the 3 nav keys is a dealbreaker for me.

[sonic cape]

eh

[sonic cape]

Akko?

[gilded topaz]

I just got a vintage cherry 3700 to go with my NCR 80

[rotund kernel]

yes

[warped summit]

Im new to custom keyboards, i have had my gmmk compact for around 2 years now but im looking for something that stands out a bit more any ideas ?

[sonic cape]

size ? location ? budget ?

[warped summit]

For size preferably 65% up to 80% , I live in the uk and budget no more than 150, thank you.

[sonic cape]

dm me

[fresh scarab]

do you guys reccomend the MOD 007 v3 via

[magic wolf]

Just finished it up

[pliant reef]

Best switches that still got that T H O C C sound but are faster/lighter than my brown switches from my keychron k8 pro?

[magic wolf]

Side glyphs 🥰

[west barn]

ohh I like the keycap set. Lol just got a blank set today cause I am a maniac

well I'm pretty good at touch typing so I can manage that...anyone else using my keyboard however yea GL.

[magic wolf]

It’s a really good way to get your punctuation down

[west barn]

My friend thinks I am crazy to run blank keycaps

[magic wolf]

Skill issue, TBH

[west barn]

lol yea at that point

and I don't type with all my fingers after some injury I had years ago though I can keep up enough.

[west barn]

update my mom hates my keyboard

well at least using it

[magic wolf]

Silent baby

[west barn]

ohh man this is great.

[magic wolf]

Got some Kailh silent apricot (silent yellow) and they’re hush quiet and still…resemble tactility

I hate loud kb too

Even if I diddnt respect my house mates

And maybe neighbors

[west barn]

we don't talk about one of my friends clicky blue keyboard last night in call

[magic wolf]

Voice activated too

Awful

[west barn]

played lethal company you can hear his typing

worse when you have to listen to mobs nearby

[magic wolf]

When you hear someone over a mic use clickies you begin to realize just truly how cringe I was myself for liking them

[west barn]

oh yea what made it worse if I have the mimic mod added soo it's creppy AF

[dawn swan]

the reason why clicky switches are popular is because out of mainstream switches that gaming keyboards come with they are some of the only ones with decent tactile feedback

unlike the shitty joke of any variant of a brown switch

where it feels worse than typing on a membrane

have to go hunting for alternative quiet tactile switches since brown is the most popular of them

not even that loud unless you put your mic right on your keyboard and then type like a gorilla

[oak aurora]

is the keychron v4 pro good?

[smoky comet]

keychron ass

[magic wolf]

Is silicon oil, a viable alternative for thin lube, as dielectric is to thicker lube?

ChatGPT seems to think so

[boreal rivet]

dont be poor and just buy some 105

[magic wolf]

You see keyboard lube, Isn’t anything different than typical lubricants you can find it every store. They’re sold at a factor that’s Accurate in a specific context and massively marked up for it

You’re willingly paying more to think less

[boreal rivet]

and you see keyboard lube is just rebranded industrial lubricant

most of it is not "typical lubricants you can find it every store"

actually its not even rebranded

its just rebottled and resold

[magic wolf]

It’s the petroleum lubricants you gotta look out, for they can be penetrative, degrade plastics, hence, when you say, lube people think WD-40

[boreal rivet]

and?

[magic wolf]

It’s nice that they created a standardized consistency labeling, but waiting online for something to ship at this time of year? Sheesh

[boreal rivet]

ok?

[magic wolf]

I might just get some super lube,PTFE oil, and call it a day, even comes in a syringe bottle

Thanks for the help

[boreal rivet]

I don't really get the logic behind buying a potentially subpar product (the type of which is a pain to remove once applied) over a well known and proven product that costs a bit more and requires just a few days of waiting

idiot logic is just something else huh

[magic wolf]

I think the demographic you’re talking about is someone who wants to put WD-40 and their switches. Yeah it’s not me.

I think idiot logic is paying more for the same shit just so you don’t have to think about what you’re spending your money on just outcome.

[boreal rivet]

if you can't fathom the idea of different companies having different formulas for their products, then just say so bud

[magic wolf]

This is the equivalent of buying onions at Whole Foods

[boreal rivet]

keep huffing the copium buddy

[sonic cape]

just buy keyboard lube bro

ive tried putting ptfe lube in can and its not good 😄

first of all the smell is soo much stronger and second the viscosity, buy what everyone agrees on and dont experiment with chatgpt's flawed and lazy logic

its like saying you want to use a tarp to protect yourself from the rain , yes its usable but people wear jackets because they agreed its a better solution

[humble crater]

hello. i got a little problem with my Qpad mk95 pro. i got it used and the website seems to be down. my question is: is there a software for that keyboard and does some got it on hand maybe? i cant find it anywhere.. if it even exists!?

[pliant reef]

Best switches that got that T H O C C sound

other than brown ones

[twilit sundial]

Depends on the case as well also the mods you apply

[pliant reef]

no mods currently, maybe ill add a tape mod.
i want to switch out my brown switches from my keychron k8 pro

[dusty remnant]

these coffee chip ice cream switches form CK, are pretty great, granted lubed/Spring swapped

but are very brown

[brave imp]

When I got my keyboard the only option was cherry red
yesterday I visited a pc store with an impossibly silent keyboard.

I now crave silent switches

any reccomendation? (ping pls)

[alpine solstice]

can anyone suggest me a keyboard? im into cherry blue switches

any mark is good

[boreal rivet]

i am just looking for cheap keyboard under like 60$ or something

[unique pumice]

Logitech G G413 Carbon
is it a good keyboard?

PANTEON T10 PRO RS OUTEMU
A4Tech Bloody B760
Red Square Keyrox TKL Equinox

ones i found locally in my price range and with good reviews

[grizzled tusk]

just got an monsgeek board in the mail. would you recommend using a couple layers of painters / masking tape or the big sheet of tape it comes with for the tape mod?

[real trail]

so the keys on my keyboard are kinda wobbly sound

the space bar

and the shift kyes

I wanna hear those rubber domes shine

[sonic cape]

there is tapemod included in the board

there is a big plastic/paper thing included in the box thats the tape mod

[hybrid badge]

Linear switches

But the biggest noisemaker isn’t the switch at some point

It’s the keycaps clanging when you press

I have rlly nice silent tactile switches but it doesn’t sound silent at all when I press down bc of the keycaps

[cunning anvil]

12 column 4 row colstag/ortho recommends?

[brave imp]

I already have linear swithces.
Cherry red.

I'm loking for silent switches, the ones with the tiny soft pads that make it so that there is no plastic-on-plastic "clacks"

I know they exist, I just don't know which ones I should get

[boreal rivet]

[mortal lion]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with deciding what TKL to buy. I have been looking at the keychron V3 as my mum has one lol, and I have heard quite good things. And I’ve also been looking at the Epomaker Shadow X as I like its look and the screen is just coolHowever, I was wondering if there are any better ones that I should be looking out for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[dreamy narwhal]

finaly got my IBM model F working. was some grounding issues. so had to reflow som solder to make it have better grounding with the backplate.

i paid 150 doolar with a sears converter as well so cant complain to mutch. and its a norwigan layout witch is not that easy to get aparently

[grizzled tusk]

yeah that’s what i meant by “the big sheet of tape it comes with”

all good i got it sorted tho 🤙🏽

[boreal rivet]

Realforce

[alpine solstice]

@boreal rivet since you answered to my question, can i ask you another thing?
Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT or Fujitsu REALFORCE R2 PFU Limited Edition (the one you mentioned)
because the realforce keyboard is way too expensive for my budget, the corsair is about 50$ cheaper in my region

they all have cherry blue switches

i think

[boreal rivet]

Realforce uses topre switches

[alpine solstice]

never heard of topre switches

[boreal rivet]

I’d buy the realforce 10 times out of 10

[alpine solstice]

question is.. is it worth 400$?

[boreal rivet]

No buy one used lmao

[alpine solstice]

i already bought 2 keyboards

dont wanna keep wasting them, i need to buy one that will be worth it

[alpine solstice]

ill see if i can buy realforce

or else, too bad

[unique pumice]

where i live it doesn't exist

[oak aurora]

I've been looking for 96% keyboard and I need suggestions, which would be better rk96 or keychron v4 or something else

[boreal rivet]

Fc980c

[sonic cape]

halo96 or akko 3098b

[mortal lion]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me with deciding what TKL to buy. I have been looking at the keychron V3 as my mum has one lol, and I have heard quite good things. And I’ve also been looking at the Epomaker Shadow X as I like its look and the screen is just cool, I've also checked out realforce and they just don't sound good and I don't care all too much about gaming performance as I'm trash anyways lol. However, I was wondering if there are any better ones that I should be looking out for.

So far I'm definitely leaning towards the V3 From keychron.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[boreal rivet]

[cunning anvil]

bumping for the lols

[chrome raft]

Hi
I'm looking for a TKL/75% White & Black keyboard, Silent and up to 150$
thanks for the helpers

[mortal lion]

Why realforce? I honestly don't see anything new and special about them

[boreal rivet]

because it uses switches better than any mx tactile

and it lasts forever

[mortal lion]

The thing with hotswap is I don't care how long the switches last as long as it lasts for a decent amount of time. Plus I atleast want the keyboard to sound good and thocky when I get it which I didn't really hear in the typing test I listened of one of their keebs (Can't remember which one)

[boreal rivet]

when i say it lasts

i mean the entire thing does

also

topre is literally the genesis of "thock"

[mortal lion]

Do you have one if so would you mind just sending a recording of sound test...

[boreal rivet]

i do have one and no

sound tests are stupid and flawed in so many ways

[hot raven]

what are some great keyboards out there for under 50 euro? (prefferably full sized, with rgb)

[mortal lion]

Does real force have any keyboard with knobs? Or no?

[sleek bronze]

Doesn't exist

Find something used

[verbal zinc]

I spent money >> and i love it lol

I really like the polaris switches

It's also a lot bigger than I imagined it

[west barn]

ohh what board is this?

[verbal zinc]

Field 75

[west barn]

[azure wing]

Heyy, what are some great mechanical keyboard that are silent?

[chrome raft]

What keyboard feels the best for gaming, it can’t be loud or clicky switches?

[chrome raft]

I know an good 60% keyboard. It’s the DK61E it’s on Amazon for less than €50

[wet onyx]

I built my first custom keyboard a couple days ago

It’s very quiet except the spacebar because I didn’t mod the stabilizers and I don’t feel like going back into it right now

I also bought keycaps that don’t work well with the lighting so I’ll have to replace those soon

[jaunty blaze]

love this thing, my forst mechanical KB

[boreal rivet]

first good post in months

[magic wolf]

Help me kb chat

The twang on release, whack too loud

Tell me how to dampen this

It’s already stuffed full of, stuff

[sonic cape]

[sonic cape]

is that a gasket or tray mount?

[magic wolf]

It do be a tray

Wait nah double gasket but I nerfed the gasket by foaming the case

[sonic cape]

what do you dislike about it?

its just how the keycaps sound😀

whacking sound on a hollow spacebar

[magic wolf]

I love everything about it, but the spacebar makes a way louder smack on the release than the initial press

[sonic cape]

yeah cuz its hollow

[magic wolf]

I put kailh silent yellow in here to keep it down, now that’s the most obnoxiously loud thing

[sonic cape]

you need to remove the hollowness

[jaunty blaze]

thanks :)

[sonic cape]

dampen the vibration on the return

[magic wolf]

Is this not enough removed hollowness

Do I need to put caulk in it

It’s hard to tell but there’s even 5 orings in there 💀

It is still quieter than my mouse though, which is a huge stride but I’m trying to min max here

[sonic cape]

damn

ok

i had a similiar issue on one of my boards

turned out to be a structural thing that caused the part of the plastic around the spacebar to produce some vibrations

[gilded topaz]

could someone give me a brief synapsis of the types of mods I should research for my NCR80 R3. New to the idea of modding a keyboard.

[sleek bronze]

You can buy silent switches for the mouse

[sleek bronze]

What are the switches?

[magic wolf]

they're kailh "silent apricots" // silent tactile switches

eh, I just have binds for mouse 1

[sleek bronze]

Tactile and relatively heavy weighted => strong return force => the sound you hear

Maybe try a light linear one ?

[magic wolf]

its the stabilizers, ive tried both gateron gpro red linear and silent red linears.

just not sure what to do about that

first time having screw in stabs so...

I dont think I can just slip bandaids under em

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

might be work doing this

[wooden ember]

It's clacking on the way up because of the stabilizers. You can maybe bandaid mod the stabs as well, how are your stabs built?

[gilded topaz]

Got a cherry G80 3700 today and threw a new set of caps on it

[jaunty blaze]

ps2 supremacy

[real trail]

running an ibm kb-9910

I love the colour

[jaunty blaze]

running my dell AT102w and its amazin

and beige

[real trail]

Beige/cream is so nice

That creamy white colour

[boreal rivet]

buy realforce

[tropic wyvern]

is apex pro tkl 2023 good?

[ancient compass]

price?

[cunning anvil]

real force orthoo

[bitter oar]

budget custom keyboard - barebones/assembled suggestion? $80-150
i want it to be clack/creamy + medium thock
75%
doesn’t have to be aluminium case, ideally plastic because that produces more creamy sounds, i don’t want it to sound hollow. thanks.
i was considering something like infi 75 or rainy 75. but, rainy 75 is out of stock everywhere.

[bitter oar]

expensive solution, but i’d suggest replacing them with tx stabilizers. all they need is bit of lube. they tick little stock but, all you need is to straighten the wire a bit.

[magic wolf]

Yessir

Exactly the plan here

For now, I just stuffed the posts, which is working

[boreal rivet]

Kek Keychron stabs should work just fine huh

[bitter oar]

also, check your pcb thickness if it’s not 1.2mm

1.6mm stab on 1.2mm pcb may cause some issues

[bitter oar]

incomprable. tx stabs will sound better stock (with straightened up wire) than keychron would with holee mod + bandaid mod + lubed + clip out

[boreal rivet]

I know 💀

Reread what I sent methinks

[bitter oar]

also, stabilizers are reusable.

$20 for those stabs is very worth it if you value your time and want the best/ second best

[void geyser]

anyone think that keyboards are kinda meh right now?

[boreal rivet]

Oh wait aren’t you that dude with zero reading comprehension

[void geyser]

There's not much anything that makes you go wow

they're starting to look like a clone of eachother

[boreal rivet]

Uh huh

[void geyser]

me?

[boreal rivet]

No

[bitter oar]

tbh, best time to hop into custom kb hobby rn

prices gone down

tho, i missed the black friday sales

and cb monday

sadly

had to do some stuff

[bitter oar]

alot of barebone kits are insanely cheap and good.

$50 bk + $20 pack of switches + $30 pbt keycaps will set you a budget mega thocc

[void geyser]

I still hate group buys

I think it's insanely stupid

I also think switch wise it has been pretty stale

outside of long stems and etc

those were fun

[boreal rivet]

Because mx has been optimised to the point where any interesting innovation is too much of a risk

I think group buys are alright for smaller designers like back when the hobby wasn’t so commercialised but big studios still running with group buys in this day and age is stupid as shit

[bitter oar]

just don’t buy group buys then

you can live without them

personally, i’ve never used them i think not even once

[void geyser]

what made you think I'm participating in on e

it's essentially a kickstarter with extra steps

and even if you do get them you're much better off selling them off

also scalpers on them are fucking insane

[bitter oar]

personally, wuque mondari’s are prob best value switch rn

at mid range

[void geyser]

ktt kang white v2

[bitter oar]

budget’ish low

decent

[void geyser]

it's the best value linear

even if you don't like the weight 60G springs are readily available

[bitter oar]

ktt mints/cabbages/sea salt are also good

i like the sea salts

from the 3

[bitter oar]

the mondari’s come well lubed

some minor inconsistencies and occasionally a switch has weird spring ping noise but, otherwise ok

still probs best prelubed switches

[void geyser]

if a switch needs lubing to be halfway decent it's objectively shit

[bitter oar]

death of holy pandas

[bitter oar]

i don’t like anything that’s below 50g

45g too light

ideally 50-55’ish

[void geyser]

I type and work with it so I need it to be light

gaming maybe?

working with 45G above?

fuck no

[bitter oar]

when i use too light switches i accidently press some keys i don’t intend

[void geyser]

I'm accurate enough

[bitter oar]

i’m pretty much used to 50g+

[bitter oar]

how many grams do you prefer

[void geyser]

45 ideally

[bitter oar]

try 70g switches and then you’ll gen used to 55g’s easily kek

[void geyser]

why should I'

[bitter oar]

valid

sound

they sound a bit deeper

well, it’s hard to describe

dimmy?

[bitter oar]

what are your second favorite switches

[void geyser]

cherry brown, ktt kang whites, thick lubed gateron reds

[bitter oar]

mmmm, try gateron milky yellow x47’s

they are quite old by now and a bit outdated aswell. but, still pretty decent switch

they have like honey thick feeling tbh, cheap.

and sound very good

[kindred oracle]

I wanna build a custom keyboard under 100 dollars so you guys think epomaker sea salt silent switches will work well in a GK61

[void geyser]

...

you know I've been doing keyboards for like 8 years now right?

[shrewd anvil]

I also love heavier switches, and these are my favourites.
-C3 tangerines v2 (lube them)
-durock black lotus, the most stable switch i have ever felt
Lubed gateron ink black v2

Try them and you wont be disappointed

[sonic cape]

thats the same as saying youve been building PC´s for 20 years, keyboards have evolved to a point of it being accesuble to everyone so 8 years of experience isn´t really of any advantage 😄

[void geyser]

ah yes the same mx style switch with tiny little differences and same repetitive board form factor

[sonic cape]

yes so no advantage

no change and thus 8 years equals the same as a month 😄

[void geyser]

I'm totally unique with my keyboard, truly it's custom

KB scene is dead as hell

[sonic cape]

Yes it is

but at least everyone can access it

its not some closed off club for nerds

[void geyser]

still pissed off about youtubers pushing the same monotonous shit combinations

[sonic cape]

Most people want thock at a budget

[void geyser]

no it's not even budget either

[sonic cape]

No one cares about tinkering with stabs or modding it

[void geyser]

100$ isn't budget

[sonic cape]

well

yeah it is 😄

[void geyser]

stuff huffing that copium man

[sonic cape]

for a quality board 100usd is budget

yeah you can get a cheap ass board for 50 if you want

[void geyser]

you can get a decent pre modded kit for like 30

[sonic cape]

XD

[void geyser]

caps and switches probably 20-30 more

[sonic cape]

oh yeah a tester68

cheapest worthy gasket mount is a gmk67 I think

thats a barebones kit

[void geyser]

GMK is npc as fuck

[sonic cape]

damn

you´re just mad

[void geyser]

I'm not

[sonic cape]

because a hobby you liked is also liked by other people

[void geyser]

it's just copy paste of each other at this point

[sonic cape]

typical behavior of mad people 😄

and ?

Isnt it all ?

[void geyser]

just like how the market was flooded by 60%s for a while

[sonic cape]

You´re offended that people enjoy keyboards ? 😄

[void geyser]

nah enjoy all they like but companies and boards who looks the same as every other board out there should be ousted

[sonic cape]

But people generally like similiar things

they want what others have

[void geyser]

shit's boring

[sonic cape]

Yes it is

But you´re not forced to do as the others

[void geyser]

Akko has been really good recently

[sonic cape]

Just build your keyboards, enjoy them and stop caring what others like or buy 😄

[void geyser]

being complacent is a sign of failed evolution

only by asking and thinking what other options there are is the only way you find unique things that are innovative

[sonic cape]

Its not being complacent

Keyboards arent essential to life

Its not something that has to be grinded or improved

they just type letters you know ? 😄

It can be but doesnt have to be

[void geyser]

I mean, knobs are a welcome addition

[sonic cape]

Honestly you just don´t have any real arguments 😄

[void geyser]

don't huff that copium because you spend 200$ on a board

[sonic cape]

is it possible for you to answer with normal words ? normal answers ? this isnt reddit

[void geyser]

you're just as bad as the people you mock for buying gaming boards

[twilit sundial]

keyboards are such a basic concept so its obviously hard to innovate

[sonic cape]

huffing copium, are you twelve ?

If you want to get mad and ask for change dont behave like a child

These words taken from some forum dont improve your argument and you look like a weak internet troll

[void geyser]

now you're accusing me of reading off a forum?

[sonic cape]

You think huffing copium is a word people that can change something use ?

´´ ohh mom please dont be mad because I use a word I saw on the web´´

Such childish phrases meaning nothing and crying about people wanting normal keyboards

[void geyser]

real unique with my GMMK 🤓 big up lads we're going custom

[sonic cape]

yeah you´re just mad 😄

everytime an argument is presented you write something completely off topic

yeah your 8 years of keyboard experience are wasted at this point

lol

[void geyser]

are both of you like mentally lacking or something?

I just said that the keyboard scene has been boring for quite a while

[sonic cape]

Are you mad because someone disproved your point of view ?

[void geyser]

alot of things have remained the same

[sonic cape]

Yes I agreed with you

but I told you people dont want change

[void geyser]

alot of companies have been doing the same shit copy and paste

[sonic cape]

people want what others have, learn something about trends in society and behavior of masses

[void geyser]

i joined it 2013

I still have the original proper board that I have

I have an gigabyte osmium aivia which i still use for work

[sonic cape]

Its irrelevant when you joined it 😄

Because it seems you learned nothing

[void geyser]

are you stupid?

[sonic cape]

oh insults

lets go

[void geyser]

I just said that's my first board

[sonic cape]

Once a conversation devolved to insults its just shows youre desperate

[void geyser]

sure pal

[sonic cape]

Oh yess

[void geyser]

you're that hurt by being called stupid

[sonic cape]

feed the definition even more pls

Damnnnnn

Please write more

[void geyser]

oh you have an OEM board you must not be into keyboards

like are you that dence?

dense*

[sonic cape]

I love how Im seing in real life something that my professor once explained to me

😄

[void geyser]

which one I have 3 that I cycle constantly

[sonic cape]

´´ howdy hey´´

[void geyser]

Rk61 ktt kangwhite oem caps from another keyboard

[sonic cape]

oh yeah a rk61 thats enthusiast grade

[void geyser]

ak873 with akko "pink" switches with xda blue cat idabao

ck61 with thick lubed gat reds and ktt kang white modifiers

I'm at work at the moment

[sonic cape]

So have you had any real

[void geyser]

that's not ma...

[sonic cape]

keyboards ?

[void geyser]

define real

[sonic cape]

any that are mor then 60usd

I don´t know some full metal, gasket mount or something 😄

[void geyser]

not owned but used

[sonic cape]

It is but its the trend now

[void geyser]

though I like the feel I don't like the sound of full metal boards

[sonic cape]

Ok so how can you speak on being bored of keyboards

[void geyser]

I prefer wooden cases

[sonic cape]

when you havent even owned or tested for a long time the higher end stuff ?

I mean even a tofu60 is something 😄

[void geyser]

aren't kbd fans in the shit right now?

[sonic cape]

i dont know about now

Im just saying a tofu60 was the hype for a long time

and thus a lot of people have it or it was their entry into keyboards

[void geyser]

it was a keyboard manufacturer that tried to pull a fast one by putting their manufacturing in china

I forgot whats their name now

[sonic cape]

yeah but its still a nice board 😄

[void geyser]

nah nah it was proper enthusiast stuff

[sonic cape]

I have one, its not great but not terrible

[void geyser]

they had good cases before

but recently fucked up

[sonic cape]

even a cheap akko board outpeforms it 😄

[void geyser]

I'm not really feeling the metal tbh

it has this hollow esc sound

even if you fill the void with foam or whatever

[sonic cape]

Well if its a tray mount yes

[void geyser]

even gasket mounted

[sonic cape]

but a foamed up gasket metal board is awesome

😄

I have a monsgeek m3

And there is no metal sound

[void geyser]

I want to do a full custom oak case at some point

[sonic cape]

Also I feel keyboards are something I don´t want to cheap out on

I feel its more a work of art sometimes

And having a cheap plastic board isnt whats pumping me 😄

Whilst a nice anodized alu with a copper weight or something feels soo much more premium

[void geyser]

don't they turn into fingerprint magnets after a while?

[sonic cape]

sometimes

but you can always just wipe it off

[void geyser]

there was this 60% case I looked at a while back

[sonic cape]

I´ve grown out of 60%

[void geyser]

friend bought a aluminum case? i can't remember the manufacturer

[sonic cape]

kprepublic ?

[void geyser]

it has alu in its name

[sonic cape]

oh ok

no idea

I have the Neo65 coming in today

so that will be fun

[void geyser]

I liked it but the lack of arrow keys are kinda meh

[sonic cape]

yeah I want to write that

65% is kinda of gold right now

and the Neo65 is like the to deliver all the expensive features for cheap

[void geyser]

found it

[sonic cape]

it was a group buy but the time passed rather quickly

[void geyser]

i think it was called alumaze or something

[void geyser]

I loved magicforce 68

[sonic cape]

?

[sonic cape]

for now I love my akko acr pro68

its just great

[void geyser]

I still have my magicforce 68

[sonic cape]

I have much more expensive metal boards on the wall but the akko is much better for everyday use

[void geyser]

i want to get another one

because I frankensteined that one

[sonic cape]

simple and clean

[void geyser]

underrated as hell ngl

[sonic cape]

isnt that tkl ?

[void geyser]

ak873

[sonic cape]

yeah I dont really like ajazz

[void geyser]

currently what I'm using at home rn

ajazz had a bad reputation for being cheap

but this one is special

[sonic cape]

yeah

epomaker and ajazz are a nono for me

[void geyser]

it's already pre modded, decent stabs (also lubed)

[sonic cape]

tray mount ?

[void geyser]

think so

I mean it's less than 50$ it's going to be tray mounted

[sonic cape]

yeah

cheapest gasket mount i found is the wk870

[void geyser]

but for what it is, it's not bad at all

[sonic cape]

i ordered one to see if its worth it

[void geyser]

comes with coiled cable too

[void geyser]

just all around a decent deal for what you get

there's also a pcb film and some foam for the space bar

[sonic cape]

this one was around 60

[void geyser]

barebones?

[sonic cape]

spacebars on tray mounts are a nightmare

yeah

[void geyser]

doesn't have to be tbh

[sonic cape]

ive never had a tray mount with a good spacebar except the halo75 from Nuphy

[void geyser]

I've had luck with heavy lubed gat reds and bluetack on the spacebar

[sonic cape]

moding the spacebar never worked for me

always ended up being a problem elsewhere

either the stab or the case build

[void geyser]

my rk61 has a modded space bar

well did anyway

[sonic cape]

yeah the rk61 has a pretty decent spacebar

I had one given to me

[void geyser]

I replaced the whole caps on the rk61

[sonic cape]

same

ive given it away

[void geyser]

I want to replace or atleast lube the akko pink whatever mystery switch it is

[sonic cape]

its an okay board for begginers but id still suggest an Akko board

[void geyser]

ak 873 with akko caps

[sonic cape]

oof that cloud wrist rest

[void geyser]

never tried one before

but now I hate it so it's just in storage now

[sonic cape]

funny I have an ajazz wrist rest

just noticed it

[void geyser]

which one?

I dont like these wrist rest because it puts my hands up waaay too high

too high for comfortable typing

[void geyser]

it came free with my keyboard

so I'm not complaining

[verbal zinc]

keyboards coming with ewaste 😦

[sonic cape]

how are you enjoying the field?

[verbal zinc]

So far been using it daily, really love it!
Only complaint is no Dongle holder on it. However it has a USB Hub port instead that works when using wired mode.

[sonic cape]

Nice

well im glad my Nuphy suggestion worked out

[verbal zinc]

😄

love my halo and field

[sonic cape]

im happy if you are

[verbal zinc]

got my fiancee a keychron k4 and she LOVES It too - red switch

so she wont steal my halo XD

and thanks for your suggestions ^^

[sonic cape]

I was supposed to have two keyboards delivered today

but it turns out the courrier probably didnt have any space left in the car

so tomorrow hopefully

[verbal zinc]

oo

nuphys?

[sonic cape]

nah

two group buys

from QK

[verbal zinc]

ah i see

[sonic cape]

the Neo65

[verbal zinc]

oo its oldschool looking color scheme

but im betting its all modern inside

[sonic cape]

yep

[worthy pollen]

i gotta quick question i wanna get this barebones keyboard https://awekeys.com/products/touch65-triple-modes-barebones-kit-purple?variant=45488597664025 and i wanna add KAILH BLACK switches and im wondering if those switches will fit on the barebones keyboard

[magic wolf]

It will work with all switches, provided their plate mount (5 prong)

Should still work with PCB mount too (3 prong)

[worthy pollen]

net tahbk you very much

[kindred oracle]

[unkempt dome]

Haimu heartbeat
Haimu whisper
Akko haze pink
Boba u4

[boreal rivet]

[chrome raft]

https://kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-doubleshot-tripleshot-deep-sea-predator

bought these in a group buy for £70 a while back

Didnt use them, dont like the design and am wanting to sell this

how much do you think i could sell this for?

and how to go about that process and whatnot

[hot raven]

any opinions of Genesis Thor 210?

[bitter oar]

looks like gmk67 but 3 times the price

[prime finch]

Is this a good budget keyboard

Its like 55

Also what color switches is more nice sounding

Options are red blue and brown

[pallid ocean]

20 dollars of shipping ?!

[spring jacinth]

Best mechanical wireless gaming keyboards?
Must have 2.4Hz

What are the options apart from the Lemokey L3?

[prime finch]

okay nevermind, new option i found razer huntsman mini. is it good?

[marsh lily]

Between the asus azroth and razer black widow v4 75 what do you guys think is better?

[boreal rivet]

I think realforce is better

[magic wolf]

Look what we found at work

Got that genuine cherry black. Diamond in the rough out here.

[muted karma]

nice g80-3000

too bad the cases are flimsy as shit

you know what year it is?

[magic wolf]

Nah I can’t even rip it off the superglued velcro

[muted karma]

wtf

actually not a 3000 lol

is it just a numpad?

[muted karma]

ah

so a 3700

[magic wolf]

I don’t know much about OEM Cherry product besides their switches, but looking these up online indicates to me this is a massive step up from the oem dell / hp membranes that litter this place

[viral stag]

is the STK61 hot swappable?

[sonic cape]

@verbal zinc

Neo65

[rancid ember]

I know it's a little off-topic, but since there's no specific place for this: What wireless mouse would you guys recommend?

[spiral mica]

on a budget g305 or darmoshark m3

more expensive ones check out pulsar,lamzu and gpx2

[verbal zinc]

The colors look great!

[sonic cape]

clone?

[magic wolf]

Logi MX3S looks so good lately

[sonic cape]

they're original from Drop

[magic wolf]

Thing is dead silent too

[sonic cape]

MT3 Dasher from Drop

https://drop.com/buy/drop-mt3-dasher-keycap-set?defaultSelectionIds=967197

Yes I was 15years old

[sonic cape]

Severance on Apple TV

[cunning anvil]

this case is so heavy

[sonic cape]
