The weight isn't an issue

#

It's issue is tuning with a small cavity

#

It's aluminum

#

Has a battery cavity you can use to house a brass plate though

#

Sugar 65 is the ultra cheap one though

#

Lucky 65 sell for $60

charred plank
#

It's not perfect but it's $60

#

Main issue like I said is that it has a plate that's absurdly soft and it lacks the area for tuning easily in the cavity

#

It's a much thicker plate of aluminum than you'd expect

#

Weight isn't an issue for it

#

I'm talking about the board itself

#

It's just a giant weight itself

#

But has a small cavity behind the PCB

#

Which limits ways to tune it and get gain

#

The weight is just decorative

#

Correct

#

It's a decorated cutout on an absurdly thick aluminum board

#

Not it's real issue

#

A brass weight that size would cost almost as much as the entire board @patent belfry

#

Obviously it won't have one

#

They also list it as an aluminum weight

charred plank
#

you realize it's just a decorative cutout of the body like I said already...

#

If you want to be semantic you're being an idiot cause semantically anything that adds weight is a weight...

#

It could be a resin cube and they could call it a weight

#

Your argument is more it's not brass

#

Which nobody disagrees on ...

#

You arent getting a stock $40 brass weight on a $60 board

#

Who are you arguing with

#

And what are you even trying to argue

#

Then you agree with me

#

So who are you arguing with

I got the aula f75 for $70 should I cancel? I don’t know what keeb to get for $70 and this was one of the best ones I found someone help?

should i buy keyboards from aliexpress? im looking at a vgn a75 rn but i feel like im gonna get scammed

spiral mica

its a trustable site if you dont buy it off sketchy sellers

its basically amazon but by a different company

$70 is too much for aula f75

#

I’m not buying off Ali it takes a month or two to get to me

jade lava
#

Us

bitter oar
#

some listings have a delivery guarantee

#

like 10, 13, 15 days

or do you need a keyboard immediately

jade lava
#

Ok what’s that supposed to mean

bitter oar
jade lava
#

Ok but what’s the best keeb for 70 on ama

bitter oar
#

not necessarily better than the aula but it’s cheaper

jade lava
#

What one sounds better

bitter oar
#

about the same ig

#

not whole alot of difference to the sound when comparing the two, the rk75 may be more neutral’ish and the aula more marbly doesn’t matter all that much

#

i’d not spend 70 for the f75 tho

#

really, that board can be gotten off taobao for 27~ + shipping

jade lava
#

So I get the rk? @bitter oar

bitter oar
#

go through amazon

@bitter oar is $70 m75 good?

if i remember correctly or recall correctly

2.4g atleast

yeah, there are multiple versions of r75’s

@bitter oar after some research apparently rk’s like to blow up so ik not gonna get it

jade lava
#

Is the yz75 good?

#

Damn

bitter oar
jade lava
bitter oar
#

$70 for a plastic keyboard is an overpay tbh

jade lava
#

Nvm I thought too were talking abt the yz75

bitter oar
#

spend like extra $20 and you have aluminum one

#

or $20 less and buy a $50 board that’s basicly the same thing

bitter oar
jade lava
#

But everyone is saying they blow up even the newer ones

charred plank
bitter oar
#

anything with battery has a chance to blow up

1 year ago I think

Largely just ignorance

for example double clicking issues with logi mouses or such

remember samsung having explosive phones?

#

and still dad’s S23 ultra battery expanded and the phone died

#

my a52s 5g battery degraded to basicly 40% within 1.5-2 years of light-moderate usage

#

and the touchscreen died after warranty

#

i believe that is pretty outrageous

@bitter oar is there any way you can look on Amazon for me? To make sure that’s the best one for money, I’m doing farm work rn

anyway yea the knob is pretty cheap feeling

I'm probably swapping mine out on the AK820 pro

cause the rest of the board is pretty nice

#

It's great for bringing around as it's pretty light

#

actually really light

and the screen is a nifty feature that's fun for a week and just exists

#

Found a pretty cool way to fix most of the high pitched sounds to lucky 65

I wanted to reinforce the stock plate so I tensioned a andesite copper foil sheet on then cut out all the holes with an exacto knife then put a sheet of the same thing (with painters tape between them because it's conductive on the sticky side too)

Hey! I'm in the market for a keyboard with a budget of $200 USD, and I'm hoping for one that includes the following:

  • Aluminum faceplate
  • Linear switches (I play a lot of FPS games)
  • Detachable cable
  • Hot-swappable switches
  • Dark keycaps
  • 100%

I'd love to hear any recommendations! Thanks!

elder plover
#

looking for an id on this switch

#

also i wanna put together a 100% keyboard with thesae switches. i have no clue what im looking for besides i want it to be hot swap, black shine through caps, and a black base

#

some recommendations would be welcome!

#

i dont want rgb either just some white leds will do fine. like the board in the background of my photo

charred plank
#

Only thing I need to do now to get the keyboard sounding perfect is put a brass weight where the battery used to be and put sa keycaps on top

pure nest
#

i get that you wouldn’t yank on either connectors when moving it around and its small and clean but do you really move around your keyboard that much

#

ive been maining a usb c for a while with a laptop so I have to unplug frequently and ive never had issues

#

seems super cosmetic peepoDank

charred plank
#

I switch position between typing and gaming but it's mainly for the aesthetic

spiral mica
pure nest
#

right

#

i see some on temu for 8-12 usd are those reliably serviceable?

#

oh

spiral mica
#

its just a cable I mean

#

it would work

#

or at least should

charred plank
spiral mica
#

but coiled cables are pain in the ass if you change keyboard or move the keyboard

pure nest
#

it was just a quick google search to see the general pricing

pure nest
#

do they get mangled and stuff

spiral mica
#

its a large long thing that sits on your table

charred plank
#

I never had issues with them but they're mainly just for aesthetics

spiral mica

and is not flexible at all

They are basically a normal USBc that looks good

i am using wireless most of the time anyways so ill pass

# solid spindle Hey! I'm in the market for a keyboard with a budget of $200 USD, and I'm hoping ...

Can't say it's perfectly in your budget but I quite love the keychron Q6, it's a steel plate, but otherwise it mostly hits what you're looking forhttps://www.keychron.com/collections/custom-keyboards/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard

I personally don't like their keycaps but it's a feel for me I don't like

And switches are hotswappable

Hey all, mechanical switches for keyboards, is it always "red switches" for the silent options? I'm so confused with all the brands n which colour switches I should be looking at....I just need one for quiet typing....some mention linear, some say tactile....sorry to be a pain 😢😁

guys

#

I caved

#

the way this keyboard sounds for it's price and the fact it's freaking metal

#

even my akko is plastic and more expensive

#

it's good

#

my akko keyboard frame has so many scratches

#

the fact that I have to use a god damn flathead

#

to disassemble the kb

#

do u think the mchose for what it is

#

is a decent kb

#

for the avg user

#

the kb I js sent

#

an aluminium prebuilt that's cheaper

#

I got them in matcha latte switches

#

this post got to me

#

coz like my current keyboard is the Akko 5075B+

#

but ngl, the switches sound a lot better than what an akko switch comes stock

#

my 5075B+ is like

#

even aft I put some tape

#

it's not like buttery ykyk

#

what do u look in a good kb

#

my akko is in bad shape

#

at least the matcha keycaps save some of it

eternal ore
#

So Ive finished at work. Is there a cheap (less than £50) mechanical quiet / silent keyboard or what is the switch, key colour I should be looking for as I'm totally confused by linear, tactile, membrane, mechanical like, yellow, brown, black switches

cant tell is this has shine through keycaps

#

do they make shinethrough ones?

chilly perch

You can buy shine through caps of course, but those are not

elder plover
#

does keychron sell caps with the correct glyphs for media keys etc?

chilly perch

Im not sure on that, I would suspect if you dont get switches u dont get caps but yeah idk

They very well could

i'll look into the keycaps

Heyo, anybody know how far self-charging keyboards have come/if they are on the market yet? I remember they were proposed quite a few years ago and some models were tested at that time

cunning anvil
#

wireless

#

but you have to keep typing or it dies

uncut fjord
#

never having to charge it as it converts excess energy of keystrokes (or even scrolling) into usable electrical energy. Paired with a battery that can take lots of charging cycles and you get a keyboard you rarely have to charge

hey i recently got a $120 giftcard for best buy so im looking for a tkl or 75% keyboard with switches that are close to hyperx reds

oblique mantle

I'm looking for a relatively cheap (USD) 100% keyboard that would preferably be barebones as I already have switches and keycaps but I'm willing to get a fully biult keyboard. Any recommendations?

proper dagger
#

its 160 so youd have to pay the diference but the switches are really solid and sound pretty good for a prebuilt

bitter oar
#

it’s overpriced at best and, you will well obviously pay alot for branding, not for value

proper dagger

yeah but for what bestbuy sells

the switches sound pretty nice

Could I be cheeky and ask for help please? It was suggested I look on AliExpress for a cheap mechanical keyboard and then silent switches I have around £50 for both (I wanted to get some nice comfortable key caps too if budget permits. Then a silent wireless mouse (I think I've found one, the Logitech M650) I've found so many keyboards but I don't know which is 3, or 5 pin....I had picked AKKO fairy switches as they appear to be whisper quiet.

Hi! How do I know if my rk61 is hot swappable?

scarlet torrent
#

my akko 5075B+ even with a tape mod still have some vibration sounds

#

which is why I'm waiting for my MCHOSE GX87 to arrive.

scarlet torrent
#

like yk how custom kbs the thocky ones are very smooth

#

but my stock akko with a tape mod still has that keyboard clackiness to it

#

Cream Yellow switches btw

#

its still a clacky kb

crisp patrol

thocky tharbly marbly clacky poppy

bitter oar
#

take a switch puller or two tweezers and press down together the clips on the switcha and pull it, it should come off

#

tho, make sure to look for what switches you buy if you want to replace them, hotswap sockets on old, cheap rk kbs are usually poor 3 pin sockets

I thought keyboard switches would at least supply the right amount, some of these packs are 10, 20, 24 etc I'd need 3/4 packs so another £40-60

# boreal rivet Yeah, most keyboards use this thing called a usb cable

which is sometimes a pain in the ass lol

That's why keyboards with batteries were invented. But they also suck bcs u have to charge them quite often. Which kinda seems unnecessary, when u literally have so much power being hammered into keyboards that's just wasted, which should be more than enough for such a low power device

so far the only claim I made was country and price dont change how materials behave

#

there are ways to make metal boards sound deep

prime mirage
#

Lies

charred plank
#

but its not just being more expensive

modest condor
#

man does not know what Chinesium is

charred plank
#

its around increasing the mass so it behaves as a self damping system then adding a thin layer of demping for high frequency resonances

#

because thats inherently how metal behaves

#

what do you disagree with?

#

if you disagree with something explain what and provide reasoning and proof

#

then we will be having a "discussion"

cunning anvil
#

disagrees "disagree harder pls"

charred plank
#

metals inherently have a resonant frequency where they most heavily amplify

#

for aluminum its around 2-3khz

#

which is pretty high pitched

modest condor
royal patrol
#

we discussed that in audio tech

modest condor
#

lmao

charred plank
#

resin inherently resonates at closer to 500hz or lower

charred plank
#

when talking about amplitude per frequency amplitude per frequency matters

charred plank
#

the more targeted of a band you can damp it in the better

#

yep

#

and all this applies to keyboards

#

you dont even need to measure it

#

you just need to understand it

#

and thats all thats needed to avoid making dumb claims like paying more or not being chinese magically changes material behavior

modest condor
#

let me name a few different types of aluminum : 5052 , 6063 , 7075

charred plank
#

not really. aluminum is aluminum. the variance from the purest and least refined aluminum isnt going to be much

#

there also isnt much reason to water down aluminum

#

this isnt gold

cunning anvil
#

alloys arent real?

royal patrol
#

obamium alloy

charred plank
#

5052 is 97% aluminum still, 6063 is 99% aluminum, and 7075 is about 90% aluminum

#

alloys matter but the variance here isnt much

#

whats the difference in resonant frequency between them...

cunning anvil
#

90% isnt even an A

#

like one in ten parts?

charred plank
#

the question is by how much

#

off a quick google search the resonant frequency doesnt change much between those alloys

cunning anvil
#

if you cant quantify something yourself, is it really even real?

charred plank
#

id bet there is a difference

#

but id also bet its not just down to the alloy

#

id bet you anything its a combination of things

#

such as the plate, they switches, the damping, the pcb

foam wouldnt work as well

would take up more of the cavity and wouldnt damp high frequencies as efficiently

but frequencies don't matter

charred plank

they do when youre targeting a sound

#

goal isnt just to get a quiet keyboard for me

#

its to get a loud but deep board

#

im still waiting for you to say where im wrong or lying and provide any proof

crisp patrol
#

this is worse than using kinetic sand

prime mirage
charred plank
#

if im wrong then why is it that with no foam and none of the mods I did the board is high pitched and after these same mods they happen to do exactly what I said they would and make the board deep

kinda is. Means not only are your claims so baseless out of ignorance that you can't back a single one up, but rather they are baseless out of malice and intent to mislead.

#

if you just didnt know better and misled people so be it

#

but what you do is something else

#

doenst really matter if you used that time to mislead people and yourself

modest condor
#

LOL

charred plank
#

there is a fallacy around using that as a justifier for claims you cant justify otherwise

crisp patrol
#

do you realize that people don't do what you do for a reason

charred plank
#

its called appeal to authority

#

because its high effort

crisp patrol
#

not at all

charred plank
#

then what reason?

#

idk, if one person could justify their beliefs (especially when those beliefs seem to be at odds with simple amterial science) then maybe id listen

#

but rn its just an example of how misinformed the average joe is

#

if that happened reply to the 2 times it was explained

#

shouldnt be hard

#

I can read

#

youre just doing the same repeating pattern

#

you make a claim you know is false to back up a claim you know you cant justify

#

its unfortunate

#

the keyboard hobby is kinda being gutted by people who act like elitist to justify the things they dont understand

#

enjoy what you have and ill enjoy what I have

I just wont mislead people along the way

I hope youll choose to do the same eventually

@bitter oar I managed to find an appropriately sized brass plate to fill in lucky 65

#

Got it close to 4.5lbs

bitter oar
#

oh, nice, how much difference did it make to the sound

#

?

charred plank
#

Fixed the uneven gain entirely

#

Made space bar way deeper

#

Made the other keys slightly deeper but a little more muted (gonna get sa profile keycaps to maybe counteract that)

charred plank
#

In what way is it destroyed...

#

If it weighs more and sounds better while feeling better

#

It's like saying a PC is destroyed if it's overclocked or undervolted just cause it's not stock

#

@prime mirage would you consider yourself an enthusiast?

prime mirage
#

I mean if you like it then great

charred plank
# prime mirage Yes

So why would the idea of putting in more effort to get a much better result in the field you consider yourself an enthusiast not be exciting to you?

#

Cause the only real loss was a minor decrease in gain for the main letter keys but even there the pitch improved drastically

prime mirage
#

I’m not even going to argue with you

charred plank
#

Or more importantly why does it upset you?

#

Because I can get not wanting to put in that effort and instead finding it more sensible to just buy a board with a built in weight that already weighs 4.5lbs and maybe has some sort of pre installed custom cut velvet damping or something of the sort

#

Even if it cost like 10x as much I can see a reasoning behind it more so than I can see wanting to do more difficult mods like this

#

But I don't see a reason to be upset by people doing that effort

#

I'm in a lot of hobbies and I've seen people do things I found to not be worth it but I've never been upset about them doing that extra work

#

I've seen people make separate loops for ram, I've seen people buy cheap rca cables and make their own shielding, I've seen people go sub ambient for locked parts just to push them a little higher, etc

#

Never made me want to do those things but I find it fascinating and see them as if anything more dedicated in those regards than me

prime mirage
#

My issue isn’t others putting in work that’s great

charred plank
#

Then what is it?

I bought a linear silent keyboard a week ago and after a week of use still haven't gotten used to it. I type about 10wpm less (with more errors).

The keyboard I type better on is using razer green tactile switches.

Should I just buy tactile silent switches to replace in the new board or keep using it and will I eventually get used to linear?
