good 200 usd keyboard that i can get in europe
you said it sucks that’s it
knob or no knob
150*
uhhh, i think you’ve started it first
by me saying topre is overrated you just raided at me like an acid
europe
60% with a knob mm
i assume built
maxgaming has switch options tbh if you are in europe
not many options tho
hhkb
i don’t think that’s available in europe, you’d have to pay vat and customs
link
I dont really recall a lot of 60% with knob within that budget
only ones that comes to my mind rn are keychron q2, sugar65 and cidoo v65
or well tofu but that doesnt have a knob
sugar65 is lovely bargain
same
can’t think of single one
doubt you’ll be able to get an used hhkb or pretty much any custom keyboard in non western eu
I mean if someone is asking for a keyboard recom then I doubt a topre/hhkb would be what they are looking for
link.
telling this the whole time to these guys
you lack common sense
your point is “if your budget is below $100 you should get razer”
and you call yourself an enthusiast of keyboards
unless you are really deep into the hobby you wouldnt buy a topre
like its good
but not everyone is used to it or is willing to get one
it’s preference and these guys enforce thier preference to what people want/need
well of all the people I know in the hobby/community
it’s your preference. not what everyone wants, need or likes
ty
it’s mediocre
weren’t you the one who criticized the rainy 75 for sucking
then what is the thing you’ve sent
what’s wrong with the rainy 75 and not with the ek68
does the ek68 support qmk/via even
keychron is also mid tbh
its q series is fine
personally had a really bad experience with their K series and idk about v series
k series are horrible ikr
yeah
v series is fine
so, that’s it why the rainy 75 sucks? because the ek68 offrers one more profile?
there is nothing blatantly bad about the rainy 75
think about it, if people really deep into the hobby use it, then it must be pretty damn good yes?
this is like common sense
okay, does it make the keynoard unusable? inconsistent. gasket performance
also it can still flex even if it has foam
gasket performance
so does the zoom65
and, does it make it unusable?
i’d rather have inconsistent gasket performance over missing $200 in my wallet
a lot of keyboard brands are based in china
"large percentage" not really
the shipping ain’t gonna be under $10
for pretty much most stuff
uhh didn’t he say he lives in europe
you sent him amazon ca link
that’s definitely not going to be $100 shipping
65% Mechanical Keyboard & VIA Programming Support After releasing several keyboards and receiving feedback from the community, we at CIDOO are excited to launch an extremely powerful mechanical keyboard that supports VIA programming. With a 65% layout, the keyboard retains all of the essential keys for daily work a
amazon ca isn’t amazon de
this is also a 65%
you didn’t meet much of his requirements tbh
does this include vat and customs?
i have press X to doubt
65% Mechanical Keyboard & VIA Programming Support After releasing several keyboards and receiving feedback from the community, we at CIDOO are excited to launch an extremely powerful mechanical keyboard that supports VIA programming.

also its 129 on my screen
epomaker doesn’t include vat and customs
even on official website
idk about vat and custom
because you have no idea how it works in eu
it’s not 8% tax like you see in the us
the website says if it does include tax or not
because you recommend stuff to people without actually having an idea how it works in thier region
you have more ego than knowledge
vat is 20%
customs is $15+
nah, man you don’t have idea how it works in eu
ah yes and your $100 keyboard w shipping becomes $180
that would be over thier budget
you literally act like rich ass
not everyone can pay it
point A. thier budget.
aliexpress works tho
they include vat
not sure about customs tho ;/
tought money works for you
I'm alive
man it seems more like
“says nonsense”
“ahh it was a joke”
then stop having an ass high ego, recommending people what they don’t want and actually have the knowledge

being many years in custom keyboard hobby doesn’t make you the book of the world lol
i’m less years in the hobby and i know how the vat and customs work
you clearly don’t
desparate.
calling me stupid when getting a point
What the hell is going on
war
war
dayum are you refering to the brick wall meme? are you 14?
damn i don’t get it how dense are you
i don’t think the mod would be happy about these gif floods
Isn't this guy the one that got kicked from KBD cause he was spreading missinformation?
me?
it was someone else i think
He's on the ban list ya
Reason "Left to avoid consequence due to spread of misinformation"
i just left server, i wasn’t banned
which misinformation?
i didn’t left because i was avaiting punishment
i left because i left
man i got muted for saying “marbly”
what kind of server is that for muting people for custom terms
so, thocky is allowed? marbly isn’t?
When was thocky allowed?
Thocky, creamy, marbly, all banned terms for a lack of information attached to them
Tharbly now thats a term that puts some hair on a chest
and for what i was banned exactly?
Right here
@arctic shuttle
Sorry
Right here
and which misinformation
Not sure
Well no the reason is right here
lmao i was in the server for like few hours after that
they we’re just finding a reason to ban me tbh
as i would care
yes? usually you should get banned within few minutes or muted
just indicates how trashy the server is
filter.
filter and manual mute/time out isn’t the same
Well, it depends on what your intentions were. You'll get banned from a server immediately if your intentions were to troll, but that didn't seem to be the case
no, thocctober bringed me there to discuss
he sent me server link
and he deleted it
ah yes,
should’ve screenshotted it tbh
Well considering the audit logs don't say that thocctober has created and invite link for the last 4 months, I don't think thats the case
damn the pest
Hey, I'm just trying to make sure everyone is being truthful
nice @patent belfry letting me join a server i don’t care to get banned outa it
didn’t know someone so random could do something like this
what now are you going to ruin my life or what waw i’m so scared
If you didn't care, why did you join and "Leave to avoid consequence due to spread of misinformation"
he sent me link to join the server i assume because he wanted to discuss it there
i also assume he deleted all my messages
Isn't that what DM's are for
if he’s admin in the server
how did i join it in the first place?
i joinned the same day as we were discussing the stuf
doesn’t that seem bit too alined?
Lemme check
Said you joined off a vanity link
That could have come from anywhere
i didn’t know the server existed until he gave me the link
at first i tought it was some knockoff kdb fans server
sec
No that one is a different link
@arctic shuttle
check your direct messages
that’s how i was brought to the server
feel free to join my server
so, is it obvious enough
you forgot to delete that @patent belfry
so, this server is broken?
so, the link sent itself and deleted itself
how did i join the server then
you told me to chech direct messages
there was the link in here
if your logs don’t say that you have sent the link then probably something wrong in the audit log
then why did you want me to check your dm @patent belfry
@arctic shuttle
sounds like “it’s just a joke” case
okay, and what’s the point of trolling?
you look like a jerk tbh
A. it’s waste of time
so, the stuff you’ve said about topre is not true thx
what a relief
so, they suck
trashy membrane overlubed gat black
Huh? Topre is great
That's not trolling that's genuine, topre is better than standard membrane in every way, and in terms of keyboard feel and response, they feel pretty spectacular
You can't compare topre to mechanical as they are 2 completely separate experiences
not sure about you helping him to just troll me but if that’s true it’s a waste of both side’s time
that was just a reverse troll to trigger him
I was only giving you honest information
my issue isn’t with topre
it’s with him recommending topre to everyone who wants a keyboard
and if thier budget is below $100 according to him “they should get a razer”
What's the difference between that and you recommending someone get a mechanical keyboard?
A. most importantly listen to other people’s budget, and know how it works in thier country like taxes.
Here's the thing right, if your budget is below $150, get a keychron or big box store keyboard
Any keyboard who's selling point by the manufacturer being listed as "End Game Thock" is garbage
Liquid
@bitter oar no noticable QC on the keycaps, switches are super mid
there’s nothing particulary wrong about the rainy 75 apart mayb just maybe from the inconsistent gasket performance
omg y’all don’t get it??? it’s 100 times better than razer keyboard
Super cheap keycaps, very base level switches (if you get jwk blacks, anything else is going to underperform) and advertised as "End-Game Thock"
But I can pick up a black widow for the same price and get it today
if i’d have to recommend rainy 75 or random huntsman mini or something why tf i would recommend the razer one
only decent blackwidow is the v4.
starts at around $170
not $100
?? V2 is good, V3 is good, plus, you can pick up a huntsman, arguably a better keyboard, for $110 and it's in stock
i mean, if thier requiremnet is to get the keyboard within a week then yeah, you can’t recommend much of a custom kb tbh
but most are fine if it takes 2 weeks, my stuff from ali arrived usually within two weeks
You can't really recommend a custom to someone with an above average low budget
not everyone wants used keyboard
also, cheap abs keycaps will become shiny within a year or two
Have you seen Keebsforall?
What's wrong with shiny abs?
guy… he sent amazon ca link to an european.
i know what i’m talking about when i said he has no sense
he didn’t even know how vat and customs duties work
he shouldn’t recommend stuff to people
looks really bad
I strongly disagree, he 100% understands how customs works. VAT is a variation on Sales Tax, minus the fact both parties are TECHNICALLY suppose to pay
and your finger slips on them when you get wet or sweaty
So a subjective based answer here
Is that my glacier?
I need to fix it, I split the shift key and I hate it
well, just look from the convo before, he clearly had no idea
you forgot they exist that also counts
yes
you give them the proper link
if you want to actually help you just don’t “go find it yourself” when it’s in matter of three seconds
.... Isn't sending a link to a keyboard helping.
he sent the improper link
The person could just take the title of the product and search it per their local listing
have you been 2 seconds in this server?
look at tc1 and the questions
some just don’t have the capacity
you can’t just go on and “eh it’s thier fault they’re dumb”
you can’t behave like that to someone who’s a newbie
They asked for help, help was supplied. I'm not their dad, I can't hold their hand the entire way through a process. The point of assisting someone, isn't to give them the answers directly, but to guide them in the right direction. How are they suppose to learn if you always give them 100% what they are asking for
They need to do SOMETHING
Tell them "here's what you want, here are some of your local distributers, find who has it"
Because again, they are asking for advice. If they want me to build them a keyboard, I'll do it
yes, that’s fine
but, not everyone may know that amazon has european versions
If you want to put forth the extra effort to find exactly where they live and give them the best deal you can find with links and everything, you go right ahead and do that
or that amazon sells in europe at all
That's part of the research
he just sent amazon ca link average person won’t assume
way less effort to just paste them the proper link
What........
it may just result in more effort if they ask for european link again
You are telling me switching MY Amazon to a EU Amazon, looking for the product and sending a link, is easier than just typing in MY search bar for the same product?
no, go to google, type amazon de or whatever fr if they’re french as say it and search for the good.
...... Give it a go and tell me it's that easy
it takes 20 seconds at most after you get the answer they’re in the eu and you know the keyboard you have in mind
But they have a link to the keyboard already. They can copy/paste the name of the keyboard in their own amazon
I'm confused as to what the issue here is
yes, but again… wouldn’t it be less effort to give it them right away? instead you have a chance of them asking again but for european link.
some people are so incopetent when if you tell them just to type in amazon de in the browser and search it through that. they still don’t know
@bitter oar See Above
If they don't know basic consumerism, how are they surviving
say, average person in 2024
average person knows shit
Thats incorrect though, because if you make a purchase, which every single person does, you know that product is potentially what you are looking for
So what's the argument here?
It's simple, THOCC gave the person EXACTLY what they asked for
If they want to find it cheaper, they can do that
thocc gives them topre or razer
I.e. looking in your own country now that you have the product information
And? Both are fine products
topre is awesome compared to razer
Razer is a fine keyboard with RGB software that isn't VIA/VIAL
You are putting a lot of your opinion and subjective based information and ignoring the root where this all comes from
it sucks up ram and can you even tune up the dpi without razer chroma
Yes
nobody wants rattly stabilizers tho
which is the feature of gaming keyboards pretty much all the time
Then why aren't you getting Stabeies or recommending any keyboard that doesn't have them
i have tx stabs and recommend them
And they will rattle
they don’t need lube to sound fine
they don’t
not even tick
they tick when you pair them with very long pole switches
That..... That doesn't make any sense
The long pole versions exist so you can put less effort into attaching keycaps to them
You can use long pole stems and regular tx stabs and they will sound the same
Unless you don't have a tuned wire
expect they don’t
That's on you then, that's how you built your TX stabs
if i press down the spacebar on the sides i’ll woble and tick
.......
because the switch stem is too long
I have durock ly stems and regular tx stabs, and they don't do that
And THOCC has heard that keyboard
But let me record another one so you can see what I mean
Let me get back to my desk in a bit
i have tx 3.0’s and tx 4.0’s long pole
That's pretty hot
Okay, how is this relevant
i know it’s not the same revision, and the housing is tighter on the rev 4.0’s
I'm using Rev 3's
but, the 4.0’s don’t wobble when i press on the side
do you have long pole switches
Yes I just said this
mondari’s are like one of the longest pole switches you can get
Okay?
are the poles longer or shorter than the ws’s
The same size
lubed or unlubed tx stabs
Unlubed
weird
Why is it weird?
then my wire probably wasn’t straight enough
Right
So you are going to have wobble, or ticking, or however else you want to define stab issues
Which disproves your argument about "no one wanting wobbly stabs" because there is no such thing as a stab that does wobble without proper tuning
i mean prebuilds come nowadays with decently lubed platemounted stabs
So do Razer keyboards
definitely not perfect but much better than your average gaming keyboard that has never seen droplet of lube or very poor lubing job
A. rattly
B. mushy
C. mushy or sticky
Okay? How did GMMK get into the Razer argument
that the stabs are lubed doesn’t mean it’ll be fine
Right because it sounds like you just made a statement that not all prebuilts custom stabs are good
So you are for Razer stabs now?
I'm so confused
custom prebuilds damn
i didn’t say every single one of them
no idea
is it custom though if it’s prebuilt
well, that’s not the point
Right
If I built you a keyboard from parts, is it custom or custom prebuilt
As the end consumer, I'm giving you a prebuilt keyboard
gmmk (glorious) managed to make one of the most mushy and rattly stabs at the same time congrats
NO
at most thier gsv2
thier goat stabs are total joke
even gaming companies didn’t dare to sell sticky stabilizers
even after they fixed the issues the stabs suck
bottom of the tier barrel
reason being
💀
what do you think about unlubed durocks
i don’t believe you those are goat stabs
they still suck even in that kb tbh
mine were mushy even after i delubed them
whar
i’d rather any other stabs than those gmmk ones
try some gsv2’s they’re decent for $10 a piece
troll.
literally the whole web is flood by how they suck
i remember all the complains about them
literally 99.5% of complains were just the stabs sucking on the gmmk pro /2
you’d be surprised how many people buy it
gmmk2 is fine apart from the stabs ofc
i had gmmk2 w glorious fox
no…
gmmk2 is most of the plastic and rainy 75 is fully cnc aluminium case
gmmk2 has metal weight tho
it’s meh overall
it doesn’t even have 75% version
but,well, 1800 is nice
no, the stabs make it from meh to niche
you have to get new stabs to actually make it sound fine
you can’t do much about mushiness tbh
i don’t understand you
they’re the most meme stabs you can pretty much get
i’d even get the razer or corsair stabs over them
…
wait what keyboard do i have when my enter looks like the iso and shift looks like ansi layout
Welcome, my keyboard key sometimes dont respond. When Im clicking A and then D sometimes D keyboards stops working. Its kinda annoying since I play games and your character stops at the place. I tried reinstall drivers, regedit, changing other keyboard (it happens on other keyboard too), changing usb port, creating new user, deleting software but nothing works. You can see at the video that one time works and other time doesnt.
did you hotswap the switches?
nope
if it’s also going on other keyboard could be windows issue
have you tried reinstalling windows?
as i said, i tried other keyboard, the issue stays
different device like different pc or android if it supports it
not really
i can try, on sisters laptop
brb
i’d suggest that. but, (backup your files)
kk
yeah, it happens on her laptop too
mmmm
drugs or lube? 
Lube. Thems blunt tips

drugs for ears
Is mysterious keyboard foam from amazon blind buy or nah
I mean it has good reviews
15.81 cad
membrane or mechanical
it’ll suck hard but, it’s fine for stuff
mebrace?
also how i could guess that from such context
15 cad is like one pizza
in the us currency
2 Pieces Set of Keyboard Sound Dampening Foam 61 Layout Silencer Pad Gasket EVA Foam Keyboard Switches Dampener Foam Pad for Mechanical Keyboard https://a.co/d/26gRxUE
This
I found it on amazon
And I bought it’s
It hasnt shipped yet tho
oh wow i’m truly sleepy rn
(didn’t see the foam)
wwww sorry
i mean it’s foam, looks like fine cop y
Okay cause im not sure if it will fit
I might have to cut
yeah it might not fit those
damn i forgot hot those plastic legs are called that are for screws
i need some rest mmm
even worse this is pcb/plate damn i fr need sleeep
asap
sorry for confusion
Im confused
same
The case foam looks a little thin will it be too hallow for my rk61
Or should i put some sand or something weird like hipyo tech
yeah, most rk keyboards have lackluster of foam
no silicone dampening is sadge
for those plastic keebs
Yeah its rlly big
And i think its too thing
Thin
Where do i even buy a big piece of foam
well, your could do some pour in silicone mod too
or even playdoh
So like resin
Its gonna smell bro
Penny mod?
Im canadian and got a bunch of pennys laying around cuz we dont use pennys
that also works
i mean, something to hold them in place would be ideal
So playdoh and penny mod
like ‘resin + coins does the job
Wait so it will make it more thcokier
yes
and much deeper and way less uhh i forgot the term
hollow
Rattle?
no rattle not
Wait is resin permanent
lube stabilizers
Like the case is done for
yes
pretty much permanent
What if u put tape
And i use the tape and pull it out
you have to properly angle the keyboard while it’s going the hardenin job
Okay any other mods
That arent hard
even cotton works
Cement is the best option
or this insanity
Im scared its gonna stock
Shock
And idk if cotton will stay in place
basicly, just fill the keyboard with whatever
please just no regular sand
Kitcheinc sand
Does that work
Does color effect thock
Or type
Or all types r the same
i mean… sand that’s painted there’s not much difference between them
denser material will generally equal to deeper sounding keyboard
some have better dampening properties tho
probably best material is steel
Well i just cant melt steel and form it can i
mmm everything is possible with creativity hehehe
U would need alot of bucksroos to do that
how do i fix this
Oh i see why that dude was trolling me
I literally gave him a random po box
He fucked it up might aswell tried to save him
Plus i kinda knew what he was tryna do
So i sent him a American
Ik but i mean idrc
He fucked it up already
If he didnt know what to do
Dont think soldering himsef would help him
He said he was 15 i knew he was lying with those fingers
But idrc
Cuz bro the canadian mech keys
R so bad
And toxic
When i was starting back in 2022 ocbtober
I got vote kicked for asking for too much help
And the other mech keys just banned me for like sending an amazon link
This is the reddit thread on how I got banned
Cuz of these auto mods
Ik but i got banned for too many questions
anyone know what switches / build Plouffe is using in the "mac users deserve a better keyboard" video? i am really loving how quiet it is for the office, and im relatively new to mech keyboards. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! its here: https://youtu.be/oFO92PSvqms?t=91
Check the description
best tkl keyboard around 75 dollars i can find on amazon?
DOH! thanks @chrome raft !
Doh? Meaning?
Check royal kludge
Or red dragon
D'OH: used to express dismay when one has said or done something stupid or when something has gone wrong.
Okay check the comments then might have linked it or find the switch and its color ways put into chatgpt
no that’s Keybart
Clack or thocc
thacc or clock
Thacc
any recommendations for an 80% mechanical keyboard for around $100
is that a meme here?
hey does anyone have any idea how to disable google short cut
Got a keychron k8 pro with ws morandi switches and blank pbt keycaps from amazon, love the sound except for the space bar which sound ''clanky'', what can i do to make it sound more thoccy and or less clanky
im guessing stabilizers but idk
ill take that as a yes, what stabilizer should i get?
things are a bit hard to get here in switzerland
sry i mean the space bar ratlles alot
i'm always going to recommend either staebies or tx ap stabilizers
use 205g0 on the stem housing, use either dielectric grease or xht-bdz on the wires. dielectric is easy to apply and easy to clean up, but xht-bdz is a tad thicker viscosity and stays in place better (but still lubricates nicely) but it's very messy
any other site u recommend, i have to pay 40 bucks for delivery on cannonkeys 😦
switzerland
just went through multiple sites and they all have 40 dollars shipping fees or even more 
Maxgaming
Oh, wait swiss is not in the eu
But it does share eu economy so
I think
Aliexpress
Also, if you want something better tx stabs (but those are pcb mounted and not every pcb supports pcb mounted stabs)
Tx stabs 3.0 from maxgaming and 5g/10g 0g205 lube
thanks 🙂
does it matter what kind of stabilizes i get
cant seem to find any on maxgaming how abt these? https://www.maxgaming.com/en/stabilizers/stabilizers-plate-mount-piano-gold
doesnt seem to be any in my region i still get 50 dollar shipping fees
screws
i think
https://www.maxgaming.com/en/stabilizers/stabilizers-v2-screw-ins-smokey these are screw in my bad
you have to do some mods to remove the rattliness
just get tx stabs from maxgaming
shipping is like €8
they usually ship to my address within 5 business days
Will these work for my keyboard with pcb screws
https://www.maxgaming.com/en/stabilizers/ap-tx-stabilizer-16mm-white
i dont understand if ''pcb mount'' means screw in
Do i need to buy the 1.2mm or 1.6mm for my Keychron k8 pro
https://www.maxgaming.com/en/stabilizers/ap-stabilizer-screw-in-12-pink
I.6mm
tx stabs 3.0 with straight wires ♥️
straighten up the wires
or just take 5 minutes of work to get the straight
it’s not hard at all to get the perfectly straight
anecdote.
straighten up the wires.
done.
you just didn’t straighten up the wires enough then
says a guy who uses unlubed cherry mx and recommends topre switches to everyone
bye what
you recommend people what you prefer not what they want
it’s like recommending them shit they don’t care about
ur ego is up in the skies tbh
that you “build many” keyboards doesn’t make your opinion always right
also, the fact you sent me to a random server just to get me banned there is hilarous
i cant tell if ya'll are friends or not
Hey guys, what can one do about stem wobble. I got some Gateron black silent ink v2s and my keycaps just wobble a lot more than on my kailh switches which have these, “catches” around the stem
I haven’t lubed them yet but plan to very soon. But I doubt that has anything to do with it
For more context I’m using SA profile keycaps so the height may be a factor too
To add, on the switch stem itself, it has very minimal almost no wobble against the upper housing, my kailh switch stems wobble more. So I don’t think this is something I fix with films
I aint reading allat bro
Caps wobble bro
But my switches with the catchy bois don’t, but they physically wobble more
Wobble is influenced by two things, housing tightness and stem to housing tolerances. A loose housing will increase wobble as the housing can wiggle about itself between the two parts because the clamping mechanism is not tight enough. Adding switch films can increase this tightness and stop the housing from wiggling around. There isn't anything you can do about any wobble that exists after that, but using caps that are taller with longer stems makes the wobble worse because of the length of the stem on the cap. Using a shorter profile cap reduces the wobble feel.
That being said, you don't want to get rid of the wobble completely, because then tolerances may be too tight and cause the switch to not operate properly or feel sluggish.
You also want a bit of wobble so the switch operates smoothly when you press the cap down at an off angle and not straight down.
Could I possibly use thin strips of scotch tape inside my keycap stem “mounts” to function as a shim in that case?
Oh I see
It’s just far more than I’m used to lol
Every switch is different.
To be expected going from a silent tactile to a silent linear?
To be expected across any brand or type of switch. Everyone has a different preference to this.
I appreciate your info. I’ll lube and film them as people recommend with these switches and see if the film does the trick
Thanks cmd
Gateron's tend to benefit from switch films. I use Deskey films in my Ink Black v2 linears and they feel great
NK_ creams, for example, are so tight even after opening them that they don't need films. They have no housing wobble at all.
Deskey films, well that made it real easy. Just curious are you using plate mount and if so what material is your plate. Did you notice the black ink v2 takes a bit more force to mount properly?
Assuming the only difference between our switches is mine having rubber on the sliders
In my two main keebs, I use FR4 plates in both of them. Since they are also both hotswap pcb's, the first insert is always the one that requires the most force, but after that they tend to go in easy. I did find that with a POM/PC plate, Black Ink v2's did seem to be a little loose and I could easily pull them out with a cap, but since switching to FR4 I haven't had a switch come out when pulling caps off yet. However, I have switched both keebs from Ink Black v2's to WS OA switches for the aesthetics and slightly heavier spring weight, plus housing material which makes a nicer thock than v2's
Ah, they work real easy after the first pop then, good. At first they would like “half latch” and I had to put pressure on the side that diddnt pop in and figured that was a good sign anyway.
And man, even heavier springs. Thats wild
Yeah, I sometimes have to pull up on the plate to catch the switch latch still. But usually around the edges of the plate. As for the heavier springs, it's not THAT heavy, only a little. 67g
What’s a better case dampener? Multiple layers of PE.
Or
Shelf mat (this stuff)
Or you guys use a kilmat before? (Car engine muffling material)
Cement
Poly-fil is amazing
Would you get the same experience from stuffed animal fluff as you would with a bag of the real stuff at a crafts store?
never felt the need to straighten c3 wires
surface finish of them is ideal, they are straight ootb and thickness is perfect for in spec stabs to sit tight
if you source your stab parts right you can buy like 3-5 sets of stabs for one set of TX or staebis and get arguably the same or even better results
I put in a minimum amount of effort (clipping + lubing with a syringe of xht bdz post install, very rarely also a 205g0 with a brush post install if they scratch)
and they are perfect every time
i didn’t even have to lube my tx stabs rev 3.0’s
only when i paired them with long pole switches (when the switch stem didn’t go all the way into it’s housing)
little 0g205 lube fixed it
But you have to tune wires
no clipping or any of that stuff, no ticking or rattle
For longer than i take to lube
I spend like a minute with a syringe for a 60/tkl worth of stabs
(while we are on the topic of you calling him out for stuff, I personally would not recommend lubing all cherry switches)
HG browns are quite nice with just a springswap
tbh lubing tactile switches is generally meh
why not a thin layer of lube on mx blacks, reds and expecally speed silvers (who does buy it) for example
if they are smooth enough ye
oh yea, would recommend lubing linears (though some dry wear in period can help)
only got a ton of early 90s mx blacks 💀
I got like 1500 or something
yea cherries are absolutely nice
my 2 favourite builds I own are both mx blacks
they need more effort than other switches, yes
uhhh aren’t you the one who pushes everyone topre hhkb’s
but they never failed on the sound side for me
I mean for the price they are they are fairly nice boards?
you can get them for like 150-200€
and they tend to be good ootb
i mean people say they have a budget of $100 and instead of recommending nice mechanical board he recommends used hhkb
like wtf
why not
what "nice" mechanical board would you recommend?
sugar65 + jc studio, maybe
but then people that got no clue about importing stuff need to use an agent
or leobog hi75 is also fine
uh infi 75, aula f75, ajazz ak820 pro are all fine’ish boards
definitely better than razer keyboard
also, the fact you have to use razer synapse to basicly use one
what
to change key maps
and what do you need for the leobog?
the software uses alots of ram
other softwares don’t use 250-500mb of ram but 50-100mb
it doesn't need to actively run though
is there like anyone that showd how that board sounds without all the foam
💀
but where the fuck does it need the 350mb~ of ram for
synapse has a ton of modules
you solved like 14 more problems than just keyboard remapping
all you want is chroma and macro but it decides to install 7 more and a service you never asked for
yea but it is chroma and macro for how many devices
that service runs even if you disable synapse on boot
hopefully none tbh
its straight up spyware, just run simplewall and install razer synapse and watch how many processes make network traffic after install
QMK/VIA/VIAL baby
yea just flash qmk on your razer keyboard 
compare the foaming, stabilizers, switches are prolly fine (but maybe not on the huntsman the rev 3 razer switches sound better), moddability
diddnt bother keeping it long enough to hack my huntsman into working....
only razer keyboard with hotswap sockets rn is the blackwidow v4
that’s $170 one
and it sounds like fucking $60 one
it’s one of the cheaper razer sub $100 boards rn
and it sucks
guh message got automodded for caps 
how common they are I guess
valid
you can find em sold everywhere so you dont need to wait for stuff online
what if i want brand new
if it is for warranty purposes buying a random board from a random chinese company might not be the best idea
only chrome desktop has Web hid right now 😔
fr?
I was stuck so long making fkin udev rules thinking thats why via diddnt work
edge and Opera
does vial have precompiled firmware? It was already a rabbithole learning QMK
yeah sometimes
but the chinese brand will offrer you better keyboard for less than your average gaming focused company on rgb
more popular is more likely obv
some via boards only speak the protocol and don't run qmk though
le gaming company tax
yeah just wanted to put it out there
vial is vaguely via compatible if you import the json iirc
but not oot
b
I like how via did it, keychron q7 right there in the repo, flash it with qmk, boom. Spend more time making layers than...manual, but, vial seems overall a lot more packed than via, oh well, worth
needed something to do rn anyway
via also doesn't support as many features as vial does total
right right, the one thing I'd like to set is, layer key highlighting, help you remember your layers, but, seems you cant put two actions on one key
but yea, ahve the issue on my hex 3cv2 where there are some features straight up not available like the rgb underglow controls
lol
only got one for numlock in my aek2
vial is messy with preloaded combos, combos on layers, and the ui for combos is bleh
My dudes beepin 🔥
mx lock looks cool
previous owner retrobrighted it
The power of the solder iron
I’m sorry but do you need gas tanks to run this kinda kit
💀 why is there red mist on your desktop
yeah that's why i ask
this may be a sacrilege question, but I have a mac for work and I am looking for keycaps that represent the mac multimedia keys (brightness, play, pause, mission control, etc.). Ideally MDA or Cherry profile. Anyone know where these might be available?
thanks--ill look into it
just tried out polyfil, I see why people love it
not for you if you're trying to maximize silence
gasket boing
how to make keyboard creamy?
I have a keychron k8 pro with ws morandi switches.
sounds very clacky?
The amazon foam made it less thocky
Get out bro
No one says creamy
It is not thocky
Sounds like clack now
Wasted 15.81 smh
what would you call it then
schleffy
Is this clacky or am i just acoustic
Thocky
nah i want to send mine
Send it then
have to cut the video real quick
Might just be me idk im not a keyboard professional
Keyboard sound really rattly ordered some new stabilizers and grease tho
sounds hollow, good luck
hahahahahahah why tho
keychron k8 with ws morandi switches
might it be the keycaps?
fill it with something once you open the keyboard, atleast tape mod if possible.
sounds hollow ya and rattly
do PE foam mod if the keyboard doesnt have one
keychron is filled with a big piece of silicon
a square of electrical tape between the top and bottom case where the screws thread in* does a lot for how easy it is too
gonna do a tape mod for sure
idk if there is even any space for foam
ill do a regular tape mod across the pcb with electircal tape
see how it works
what kinda tape should i use, i have a battery in my keyboard, normal tape would probably burn
You only need to worry about that if there’s a short or exposed wire. Don’t be dumb unplugging your connectors and you’ll be fine
Ok thy
Idk kf the keycaps made any diff
Won’t be the same for everyone but this ugly thing works for me
Stuff your stab keys with random shit
ill try that rn
more weight on the bar helps with that stab twang from springing back up
what other home cookin.... uhhh...
can you steal some sparkplug grease from your dads garage?
keychron did the lazy lube on the stabs
ordered some
bzd
dang, Ive seen dielectric at gas stations, uhhh
experiment with case dampeners, wont be the same result for everyone but at least its fun and cheap unless you're looking into like, the precut kilmats
does it matter what kind of tape i use for the pcb
most use painters and most people have a lot of painters
ok thank
I like using this for my case, it’s shelf matting. But all it does is dampen everything
I recently tried polyfil which a lotta people like and it’s really fun with gaskets
But I personally like silent keyboards
Most popular is PE foam. Just 1-2 sheets is what I’ve seen most people do
In case you don’t know PE foam is just this
You probably have it in old Amazon boxes
He already is and it sounds awful
thats about all the home keyboard cookin I know of
oh yea if you're feeling zesty you can holee mod your stabs
ill get some tape tmrw do the tape mod and look if i can fit any foam under the pcb
its easier than you think to put a good amount in there, but the more you do the more gasket you gimp
This should do right?
isnt that what comes with keychrons
Yes
better than nothing
Ill just lay it on the silicon and see how it sounds
But the hollow sound doesnt come from keycaps nor the switches right?
everything I just told you here is in reality just gonna make your keyboard quieter but at least some of that hollowness should be muffled out a good bit
it comes from everything
Ok
its like a soup
What kind of keycaps would you recommend?
thats too personal for me to just give you a random thing
I have the some glorious pudding keycaps layin around
Ok, but like double shot pbt keycaps right?
im not very experienced with a lot of aftermarket caps, pcbs, hell even lubing switches
like, heres my set of keycaps rn https://drop.com/buy/drop-oblotzky-sa-oblivion-v2?defaultSelectionIds=966268
but the abs finish leaves a....greasy finger shine, and I dont even eat at my desk
the tall profile also....demands I bust out the wrist rest
but
they sound better than cherry / oem profile I used before
see what I mean?
its not so straightforward
Yeah i understand
Ill just try out what i have layin around
I really want to buy the cerakey creamic keycaps too
Gotta save up a lil bit
dont expect the "right ones" right away, you'll develop a taste
Yep
Ill add some foam now, thanks for the advice
Cant type now
yeh, have fun
Lube the switches
My fav vendor is ash keebs or apexkeyboards for lube
Thats connected to the battery, is this safe?
Bro u suck at modding bro
Why u overlapping it
Its gonna damage the wires
Cut a hole where it’s supposed to be
Overlap
Also put on some pants
Well no shit its my first time
Watch a yt tut lil bro
Ive cut a hole for the wire
Then plug it in
I did
Okay ur also gonna have to cut the wire
Its called shorts idk if there are any in america
Just a bit so its flat
Ok ill eat the switches too
Im not joking
Cut the wire thats plugged into the pcb
And then overlap
And resolder
Cutting the wire will fkn burn my house down
I dont have a solder
Ill just twist the copper inside the wire should work too
Soldering it better but tape can work
Yeah
Cut it
And retwist
Show me when ur done
At what point did people change from worrying about damaging an expensive thing, to, will poking this explode my house
Here in switzerland we say things like that but we dont mean it
What im tryna say is just if that looks fine
what he said to do was og territory, all you really need to do is make one cut in the entire foam where the wire would be
thats it
did you get to learn what a short circuit is
The wire aint open tho
youre fine
Ok 👍🏿
Chocolate expenise maker country
Did u cut
No
dudes treating this like nurses first open heart surgery rn
I already built everything back
Jhshahahahhahahahahhaahha
Im from switzerland
There aint no jokes over here
It made it a bit better
trying to decide if i want to keep with my extended thumbs unisplit, or make a 4x10 ortho
How does penny mod work
Do your keyboard Tokyo drifting during intense gaming and or monkeytype sessions
What
Oh cmon
Thank god
But i heard it makes it sound deeper
Plus its a free mod
Cuz pennys arent useable in Canada
What mod do you recommend for a deeper sound
I got a plastic board
There’s a great keybored video that can answer that way better than I could
Cement
Caulk mod
I dont want a brick
If I diddnt fk up it would be incredible
True
But what could i do
Like cotton mod?
PSA: if you caulk mod make sure to put in your sacrificial switches BEFORE you pour
I told this kid earlier today a bunch of stuff that I’m not gonna type out again but I can point you to it if you want
Ok
The second i saw his name i knew hes fucked
Hes the the dumbest dumbest dumber and the superior dumbest keyboard person
You’re all dumb 👍
Bro what
U confuse me
More then him
what would you guys say is the best price to performance analog keyboard currently on the market?
Hard to say, keyboards arnt like graphics cards or monitors. “Performance” isn’t really a thing. It’s more of a taste thing
true, how about price to build quality? or like is there a specific analog keyboard that you might recommend?
Unless you’ve been in this hobby for a while and have a good variety of boards to work with, it’s hard to really judge that. I can tell you what I observed over like 12 years of shit keyboard after shit keyboard then finally now have something I actually enjoy using
Anyone know if there's some red 3rd party key caps that would fit a hyperx origins core alloy keyboard or is it the same as standard kaycaps.
Whichever Chinese Hall effect board gamers are drooling over now
This my keychron Q7, variety of stuff I stuffed in open spaces, gateron silent black ink v2, and some drop SA profile caps.
I value silence I a keyboard. And besides these caps being abs shiny finger grease magnets, I love everything about it
