It’s incredibly likely that, not all keyboards are the same

thanks to flex memes we now have 1.2mm pcbs

yes they are screw in but they rattles very bad

magic wolf Jan 17, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

Personally, I have done 3 things to mine and they’re, well. Stable. And dead silent

#

1: cut out a pad for the base of the stab on your pcb, think of it like a carpet

2: holee mod. This is the definitive way to ensure that your stab never hits a hard surface

3: a pretty decent squeeze of the dielectric tube

#

The holee is the more complex one since it needs to be fully cleaned and dried before trying

#

Tiny tweezers is necessary

These are definitely preferences. I find pads/holee is a bit mushy for my taste.

If you're going for silence, then no doubt you'd want to use pads.

wild star I get pleasure from the clacks and thocks though.

Mmmm, I do too, but there’s a problem we all face that stops us from immersing in it at all times

Sharing a building with someone else

That’s not the only use case…..I get the mushy problem people have, but….ok actually, this can be best described with a video

I remember when this little wireless keyboard was my benchmark

But now you can trade a slight, mush yes, for a mechanical keyboard having its closest contender be a touch screen

last saffron im undecided on what keycaps to go with

Have you tried other profiles before?

#

I’ve used nothing but OEM until I got into this hobby, and it’s just insane how profile changes the…..feel of motions when typing

#

I jumped straight to SA profile first here, and now I wanna try all the heavily ranged / generally tall profiles

#

I wouldn’t recommend if you work a job where you predominantly type, because they’re more effort to use…but

They’re designed around type motions, moving between rows. For gaming? You have a finger statically on each row.

say, whats wrong with the f75

#

apart from, not supporting pcb mounted stabs, north facing leds

#

you keep saying theyre trash and wont even state the reason

#

and that makes it trash?

#

at what exactly garbage

#

north facing leds dont matter much unless you care about rgb and the inference between cherry keycap profile and switches which the step goes fully into the housing

#

it doesnt support pcb mounted stabs but... does that even matter of a $30 keyboard

#

if a newbie wants better stabd he would have to buy lube, which costs something too unsurprisingly

#

also, do you expect via/qmk on a $30 board? most people don't even know what that is

#

its not necessary aswell

#

recommend me a better $30 keyboard if you know

even the switches on the $30 board dont suck, and the pre-lube inside them isnt totally dried

so I diddnt open mine up much

bitter oar Jan 19, 2024, 3:55 PM

#

wat

#

north facing leds are fine lol…

#

literally just these two things:
interference with certain caps + switches
rgb

#

by certain i mean basicly just cherry

#

i don’t care on a $30 board
it doesn’t matter
yes, i’d like south facing leds

#

still better than no 5pin hoswap sockets

#

so, go through the pain of clipping all the switch legs

#

ah yes so…

#

ru telling me that’s not big of a deal… but, north facing leds are?

#

literaly fix to your inteference issue:
don’t get cherry keycap profile
don’t get switches which pole’s goes all the way into the switch
problem solved

#

either one of those and you’ll not see the issue at all

#

aren’t mx blacks like one of the switches that go full into the housing

#

you probably hate north facing leds because of that

#

this $30 board has cherry keycap profile keycaps and north facing leds, not interference at all because the stem doesn’t go all the way in

#

literally, just don’t get cherry profile or different switches

for most people*

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:08 PM

You won’t die on the streets if you already have north facing but it’s a major cope to not say it’s objectively bad that they are

No.

#

It's through a GUI.

#

The only disadvantage it has over Synapse is that it can only do keystrokes and not actual commands.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

The thing about via, is…..say you’re in the middle of a project, and you think, oh snap, I could totally automate this shortcut, so then you gotta bust out the .json and its project you start on top of a project

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:31 PM

If you are using something already in the database, you just load the website and change it.

Being an electron app

It has to be hosted

But

By all means is open source

It's handled by a very small team, push requests to get jsons approved to the main branch of VIA take awhile.

#

Might be one person.

#

Thank god for precompiled firmware, it was rough learning how to just flash

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

It's way easier to get into QMK proper now, I don't know when you tried last.

#

They've bundled everything into a single installer.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

Had QMK configurator. No problem. At least now. Still was a…..couple hours to really get into

#

On Linux you still do everything via shell

#

And have udev rules to contend with if you’re using a webapp to config

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

Configurator can't handle more complicated things, so I mostly do everything through shell.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

I look at a key map file, and nope out

#

It’s just a little too much for me rn

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

I imagine that may have been different if I got into keyboards now instead of when I did.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:44 PM

It’s like that for everything, consumer computers

I use IC pullers, though you might have to sand down the teeth a little on some of them.

When I think of IC puller I think of tweezers that go really wide at the ends

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:52 PM

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

Ok wow you must have really thin ones

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

It's fine after you sand down the teeth.

#

But they do sell thin ones now.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

I work in board manufacturing I could prob steal one

#

If….small enough ofc

#

If it’s a 4 baller bga I have no idea what we do

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

It's only an issue with high profile boards, they sometimes have problems getting in between the side of the case and the switch unless you file down the teeth.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

I’m having that problem and right now the least of my problems

#

My finger has cramped twice today

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

Swipe an IC puller then.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

I was shopping around online lately for new caps and was hoping someone came along with a suggestion of what they liked by hey nothing beats free

#

Thanks

main narwhal Jan 19, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

If you look on amazon, you'll see thinner ones like this that work well in getting in those tighter spaces.

magic wolf Jan 19, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

So I just understood why you sand them down……

#

They’re thin enough to go straight thru the clip

I think the word you’re looking for is creacky

magic wolf Jan 20, 2024, 3:11 AM

its a thing if you wanna hear a...mediocre keyboard clickbaited with an onomatopea or however its spelt

#

its like thock was before it was defined relatively low pitch focused sound

#

like that shit I get, but creamy just sounds homo

man, this whole, funny word thing on social media is gonna seriously mess with peoples expectations
