[charred plank]

Down the line failures are as likely on any board basically

Foam issues aren't gonna be massively more or less likely on any either

[patent belfry]

explain my 12 year old custom still being used with the original pcb then

[charred plank]

Because basically all keyboards are unlikely to fail at the pcb

They're incredibly simple circuits

[patent belfry]

that is simply not true

[worldly garden]

u have an otd when thocctober

😭

[patent belfry]

i had 2

[charred plank]

Which is why people in this hobby obsessing over PCBs like these are the circuits running industrial power plants is crazy

[worldly garden]

what....

[patent belfry]

i obsess over the stuff i spend thousdands of dollars on yes

my bad ill not do that

[charred plank]

Obsess over relevant factors then

[patent belfry]

the pcb is relevant you knob

[worldly garden]

is his money, let him be

[charred plank]

With PCBs you're obsessing over the fight to lowerchance of RMA from one in x thousant to one in x thousand and one

[patent belfry]

enjoy your cheap china slop

[patent belfry]

on god

[worldly garden]

if you want smth that works

[charred plank]

He can do what he wants

[worldly garden]

a logitech k120 works

[patent belfry]

dont argue with my opinion then

[worldly garden]

and thats one of the best p/p keyboard u can find

[patent belfry]

opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and they usually stink

[charred plank]

I'm just saying giving PCB this much attention and pretending like there is any relevant difference here in quality is like someone in the PC community obsessing over the difference in lifespan between air coolers

[patent belfry]

youre spending as much or more money than they are replacing your dogshit products

youll see it eventually

[charred plank]

You'd think someone's crazy if they were arguing to pay more to get a noctua cause they use 15 micron thicker copper on their heat pipes so over the millennia it will withstand corrosion from the moving air slightly better

And that's basically what this discussion is

[patent belfry]

i will enjoy my flagship pc with noctua cooling thanks

[charred plank]

Except it's being done without even the one maybe fact included in the analogy

It's being done off feelings and emotion

[patent belfry]

remember when I said stop trying to change my opinion

youre literally doing that

[charred plank]

I can say whatever I want

[patent belfry]

cringe ass mf

[charred plank]

If you choose not to listen that's on you

[patent belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/curb-your-enthusiasm-larry-david-eh-disappointed-indifferent-gif-24360467

[charred plank]

Believe me

I'm all for spending whatever you want on a hobby

It's just imo an irrelevant non factor people in the keyboard hobby latch onto about PCB's

[patent belfry]

not up to you to debate with people

[charred plank]

And they do so without understanding the minute details that make up this non factor

[patent belfry]

newsflash nobody cares aboout your opinion as much as you think they do

[charred plank]

When you obsess over a non factor it also makes it look like the hobbyist are all just coping

[patent belfry]

the things you say get screenshotted and memed on in enthusiast discords you are aware of that right?

[charred plank]

When you focus in on actual factors it helps show people why the hobby is worth investing in

[patent belfry]

ah yes my bad I will focus on the colour and not what makes it type

apologies king

[charred plank]

I have 20 year old dell membranes that still work

[patent belfry]

thats cool

[charred plank]

It's not cause they had such insanely good PCBs

It's cause they're a keyboard

[patent belfry]

[charred plank]

If they work out the box the only failure point of relevance is re ic's which are under minimal stress

[patent belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-roll-gif-3020658429045315730

[charred plank]

Not very convincing when you tell someone they should pay thousands to get a keyboard that will out live that dell by a month on average

[worldly garden]

invest ? we are here having** fun** by spending our hard earned money over it

not to profit off it as the main focus

[charred plank]

When you talk about typing feel or sound or even visual aspects

Tangibles things

[patent belfry]

dont shit on people for having nice things

[charred plank]

That is much more compelling

[patent belfry]

not good looks

[worldly garden]

u sounds like kvetinky when i disapprove his ali keycap set lol

[patent belfry]

couldnt imagine yapping this much in a discord full of normies who arent connected to the hobby. you should go yap in enthusiast discords

[worldly garden]

"not all people is rich" and "keycap is keycaps"

[charred plank]

I'm just trying to be logical here

[worldly garden]

mmm smelly barbeque someone will be roasted

[charred plank]

Value should come from tangible things

[patent belfry]

they should argue with the people in kbd

or some other enthusiast discord

[charred plank]

Not from a near schizophrenic level fear of a slight increase in failure rates based on nothing more than a gut feeling

[worldly garden]

yeah fr lets take this to kbd biooc

[patent belfry]

theyre in your walls biocc

[worldly garden]

in his eyes we are all elitism and gatekeeper

sob

[charred plank]

And if there is an identified issue, I do actually believe in informing people about it

Not over or under blowing it

But informing people of that issue

[patent belfry]

ur blowing rn dude

[charred plank]

For example, let's say imaginary PCB runs 5v to a 3.3v controller

That'd be worth telling people

[patent belfry]

they are in your walls

[charred plank]

Idk, I'm not the one chalking up the whole hobby to a fight for 1 fewer unit failed per thousand

[patent belfry]

@worldly garden BIOCC kbd regular when

i couldnt imagine hiding your shit takes behind normie discords where people dont know better and wont call you out on your bullshit

[charred plank]

I say the same things in every discord

[patent belfry]

you get laughed out of them

[charred plank]

Pc hobbyist discords are just more likely to think of things in a logical way so fewer people will jump to the defense of company pandering and baseless arguments

[patent belfry]

im talking about keyboards pal

[charred plank]

It's just a more developed hobby with a better sense of the market

Keyboard hobby rn is in the state the PC hobby was in like 2016-17

[patent belfry]

this gives me "i entered the hobby last year" vibes

[worldly garden]

he wont last 30 seconds in geon discord

[charred plank]

In a bit of a boom with a lot of competition, but people are squandering it to focus in on how important brands are and these semantic baseless ideas of qc and failure rates being bad on anything that isn't the biggest brand

[patent belfry]

keep dreaming in budget keeb land

[charred plank]

In the next few years you'll notice reviewers like keybored start becoming more popular and people will focus more on things that are objective

Same thing happened in the PC hobby

[patent belfry]

that has already came and gone

not hard to tell how long youve been here

pc review channels are also dead memes too now

[charred plank]

Gamers nexus started gaining traction along with resources like psu tier list and as people gained easier ways to be objective, they started just... Being objective

[patent belfry]

GN has been in the space a lot longer than that

[charred plank]

He has

[patent belfry]

strawman is grasping at straws

who woulda thunk it

this is regarding keyboard pcbs

[charred plank]

But he became much more influential and as a result gained more of an ability to dig deep within I want to say the last 5ish years

[patent belfry]

i dont give a fuck about pc hobby

[charred plank]

Do you know what that is?

[patent belfry]

thats funny because I stopped watching GN like 5 years ago

[charred plank]

It's taking your argument and misrepresenting it as something easier to argue against

Idk where on earth you got that from me stating the PC hobby has become more objective due to better resources and information

[patent belfry]

strawman

https://tenor.com/view/idk-yes-no-maybe-scarecrow-gif-23290347

[worldly garden]

you are late

they did after covid

thats the root of all the budget chinese keyboard ass

[charred plank]

No, keyboard hobby just became more competitive

Not more objective

[patent belfry]

its not competitve

[charred plank]

Kinda like the PC space during the pascal era

[patent belfry]

the people who know whats good know whats up

its competitve in the cheap china slop where people making them dont give a fuck about the hobby and all they want it money

is money*

[worldly garden]

they dont apply the moore law here buddy

is not cpu's

[patent belfry]

the people who care about the hobby and the people in it are making good shit for pennies on the dollar because they care

[worldly garden]

i called up nuxros yesterday

he told me about running gbs and stuff

ooo

[charred plank]

Everyone wants money

[patent belfry]

biocc you should design a keyboard and run it

[charred plank]

Sooner you realize companies aren't working for you the better

[patent belfry]

companies?

im talking about the designers

this tells me you know absolutley nothing about how the hobby works

[charred plank]

I agree there are better and worse designers though

So focus in on the objective reasons

Not the "it came to me in a dream" reasons

[patent belfry]

so the cheap china slop

that nobody but you and kids with birthday money care about

[charred plank]

Maybe so, so focus on tangibles and make a real point 👍

[patent belfry]

thats literally my point

you sounds like a rage baiter from reddit right now

[charred plank]

A tangible is things like feel, sound, materials, sight, etc

[patent belfry]

those are subjective you knob

materials are not

[charred plank]

Not "I imagine it has PCB issues cause it's Chinese" (gives alternate option contracting another Chinese factory)

[patent belfry]

the point went over your head

not surprising

in the slightest

[charred plank]

Tangibles things can be subjective in preference

[patent belfry]

my preference is to not see you type bs you have no experience in

have a nice day biocc

[charred plank]

Same as in PC space

[worldly garden]

😂

[patent belfry]

[charred plank]

My wants might lean to multi core and yours might lean to single core

https://tenor.com/view/rip-bozo-gif-22294771

[charred plank]

@patent belfry you could be entirely right about something being a bad option and something else being better, but it doesn't matter if you focus in on arguing about how you have a gut feeling it has a bad PCB rather than the objective reasons why it might be good or bad. Does this make sense?

[patent belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

[charred plank]

You wouldnt take someone's tech advice very seriously if they said get a 4090 cause they know in their gut the 7900xtx will all fail and break cause it came to them in a dream

But if they showed you benchmarks demonstrating the 4090 is faster you might take them seriously

[patent belfry]

who are you speaking to? weve stopped listening

people who speak the most say the least

oh dont forget GASKET MOUNT!

[worldly garden]

ball catch, magnetic connection

[patent belfry]

OH yeah this too

[charred plank]

What's crazy is I'm not even disagreeing with y'all's advice, just criticizing the basis you use when giving it.

[worldly garden]

honorable mentions are PVD WEIGHT

[patent belfry]

imagine messaging kvetinky for social reassurance on the internet

[worldly garden]

WE LOVE RAINBOW

YEE

[worldly garden]

he went out , touch some grass and did some volunteer

u should too

[patent belfry]

kvetinky knows when to zip it now

you should ask him for advice

[worldly garden]

he learns from his mistake

Hey guys I'm looking for an aluminum 65% keyboard that's gasket mounted, has pom plate, flex cut pcb, rainbow pvd weight and a knob. My budget is $15

[patent belfry]

asking people for reassurance in your argument tells me you arent certain about what youre dreaming up

nice L dude

[worldly garden]

aka call for reinforcements

[patent belfry]

wee woo wee woo

[charred plank]

Not really. I'm just asking for a non biased opinion

[patent belfry]

@worldly garden i got a beige deskmat

[charred plank]

Cause what I'm saying should be pretty obvious

But y'all are in defense mode

[worldly garden]

oh really

[patent belfry]

yuh

leather beige deskmat

[charred plank]

So you're thinking everything is an attack and are acting overly emotional and defensive

When like I said

[worldly garden]

ooo classy

[patent belfry]

youre the one still yapping biocc

[charred plank]

I'm not even attacking your recs

[patent belfry]

weve moved on

[charred plank]

Just criticizing the basis you use when giving them

[worldly garden]

well atleast his statement is typed out using a lz gh

[charred plank]

@patent belfry when everything's calmed down I would like for you to go back and read what I stated

You'll realize I'm not attacking you like you seem to think

[worldly garden]

he is laughing in your face

[charred plank]

I'm just criticizing some pretty objectively bad tendencies in giving advice

[patent belfry]

i dont think i will

[charred plank]

That tie back to the state of the hobby rather than to you personally

[patent belfry]

i have my opinions

[charred plank]

That's the thing, I don't think you actually disagree

I think you're just in this defensive mindset so you aren't processing what I'm saying, instead thinking I'm after you or something

Cause tldr, I'm basically just saying advice and discussion should focus on facts rather than non tangible nonsense and made up statements

Not something I think you or any sane person would disagree with

[patent belfry]

feet replacement time!!

[charred plank]

That bottom case and weight look amazing

[patent belfry]

its not chinesium

thats why

[charred plank]

How much did that board end up costing you?

[patent belfry]

950 after shipping, minus the build + keycaps

[charred plank]

On the more expensive side, but seems really well machined

What material is the weight?

[lost wren]

Yoooo that looks really cool!

[coral ferry]

Is this saying USB 4.0 is a Requirement of using my keyboard if I don't use USB?

Also...backlit key lettering when the keys themselve are white is really stupid...

Also, not letting me use the USB C port for a wire mode is also stupid...
I'm glad I only payed 9 dollars for this thing

[worldly garden]

just plug it n and u will be fine

and this has nothing to do with usb 4.0 since they doesnt exist

bluetooth 4.0 is an old tech so anything should be compatible

[coral ferry]

That's where you're wrong. Appearently this device doesn't support wired mode. It specifically says the USB port is strictly for charging.

[worldly garden]

what keyboard

such dumb design

[coral ferry]

Razer Pro Type

[boreal rivet]

no

keyboards can't even saturate usb 2

its saying you need atleast bluetooth 4.0

[coral ferry]

Wow. I can't read...

Anyway. This thing is going in a drawer in a few minutes. I'm switching back to my Das Keyboaard

that one was 10 dollars. Much better quality.

some of those boards dont even have stabs

nah this one does

u can see the metal rod

[patent belfry]

rod? does it have the pin style?

[boreal rivet]

Not bad

Early dome with slider is pretty good

I can now say I have keychron v1 every possible chance

And I can also say, and it's the worst sounding non gamer board I've heard

Hey guys so im currently using the Jupiter Bananas on the KeyChron v1 Max. So I want something that's thwompy and i hate to use this term but thoccy.

Hello just asking do I need electrical tape for keychron Q2 pcb or just any tape of my choice? (First time modding a keyboard)

[spiral mica]

painter/masking tape

3m masking tape

[charred plank]

You got a q2 it are you thinking of getting one? Cause if you don't already have it get almost anything else, but if you already have one, go hard on tape and dense foam mods tbh

If you really want to improve it buy a brass weight to mount with resin

bro this thing was 2.50 lol idc if i can find better this thing is practically free

no way u are fucking serious

[ashen rover]

Hey y'all
A while ago, I bought a g pro kda keyboard, it had everything I wanted, it was TKL, had lightsync and had Brown switches. It started having some problems, and the warranty offered me a g513 carbon for free and I accepted it. That was a good decision?

[worldly garden]

return it both

buy smth not logi

[ashen rover]

I don't see any problems with Logitech tbh, besides it being expensive, I guess. I never had any issue besides some leds dying in the g pro

[still quarry]

yeah that's the problem

they overpriced their items

[ashen rover]

Had g203 for years and after that I bought a g502, both of them work as expected

[still quarry]

like g pro should be like 40 bucks

[ashen rover]

I am getting a keyboard for free

Due to faulty leds

[still quarry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

guess can't beat that

[ashen rover]

I've seen the g513 also has a double click issue, but I saw on Reddit that it can be solved on windows control panel

So I guess it ain't that bad

[still quarry]

a lot of logi mice/boards have double click issues

[ashen rover]

I mean the keyboard

[still quarry]

they might be talking about the debounce delay

adds more latency to the keyboard

[ashen rover]

Eh, any way I bought the g pro for half the price on a promotion, and got a keyboard for free, so I guess it ain't a bad choice accepting it

If is that bad I can maybe use them both, one for gaming and one for gaming or smth

[worldly garden]

sell the one u just goy

and buy smth else

[still quarry]

nah just escape this channel get farr away from this hobby

[ashen rover]

As a Brazilian resident, no one got money to buy keyboards, and for my experience Logitech is far from that bad

[still quarry]

well they're not bad

they're just mid

[ashen rover]

Most of the things I bought on promotion, which is the price of kinda bad keyboards, like reddragon ones, that are kinda just white labels for the same price I paid

[patent belfry]

thocky keyboards

[upper remnant]

do any of you know any keyboard cases that are compatible with the Drunkdeer G65?

[patent belfry]

none

[bitter oar]

double clicking is an issue on most mice, you’ll see it more often on logitech mouses because of the number of the mouses existing

logitech doesn’t have increased chance of having double clicking issue per mouse

or may have but it’s insignificant enough that it’s unlikely you’ll have the issue

oh, g513 keyboard, i misread that for a mouse, welp, same thing applies to keyboards as well

it usually happens when the contacts inside the switch are damaged or when the switch rebounds and the mouse registers it as another click

[worldly garden]

A good pcb is ruined

[charred plank]

In what way?

It's now equal to having a heavier thicker PCB

[worldly garden]

Good luck taking it out without making any damage tho

[patent belfry]

it's hotswap so no

[charred plank]

It's a permanent mod

Why would I want to remove them

[worldly garden]

Hipyo tech got their worthy opponent

Plus

Why ??

[charred plank]

As I said

[worldly garden]

U said what

[charred plank]

It makes the PCB much heavier and it makes the PCB as a result sound lower pitched

No reason to undo that

If you swapped a thin cheap board to a much thicker and heavier one you wouldn't be thinking about how easily you can move back to the cheaper thinner one

I saw that you CANT use this knob on just any keyboard

The keyboard needs to have a rotary encoder socket or sum

[worldly garden]

Still looks solid

Gib 200m cr so i can buy auction cars

[lost lodge]

Yes sir

[lost lodge]

I’ll give you 50m

[worldly garden]

No shot haha

[lost lodge]

Don’t have much because I’m not a “vanilla player”

[worldly garden]

We will drive null car together

[lost lodge]

But I did finish the game and everything back when I played it last time

[lost lodge]

Legitimately

[worldly garden]

Gained like 10 levels everyday

[lost lodge]

You did?

Damn

Bros grinding

[worldly garden]

Ohh im too hooked up

120 legels in 2 weeks

[lost lodge]

Just don’t get a burn out

💀

[worldly garden]

If u noticed there was some 12+ hrs sessions

[lost lodge]

Oh wow

I can’t grind the game this time around because of this guy

[worldly garden]

I would rather have him than playing that game

[lost lodge]

Just realized I don’t have any good pics of her on this phone

[lost lodge]

I have gotten 100 scratch marks on my hands in the past week when I try to get on my pc

She likes sitting on top of my pc case because of the cold AIO air

And if I move her, I quite literally die

[worldly garden]

Just be be nice to her lol

[lost lodge]

I try to but I don’t really want scratches on my new case 😭

[worldly garden]

Dont use it

[lost lodge]

I mean it’s alright if she just doesn’t turn the dust cover at the top into a scratcher

Then she can stay there for as long as she wants

[lost lodge]

The new case or the pc

[worldly garden]

The pc

[lost lodge]

I haven’t gotten on in like 2 weeks

Was sick and just didn’t feel like it

[worldly garden]

Use a cover lol

[lost lodge]

Planning on doing that soon

Anyways

Did you get the

Aston Martin Vulcan FE yet?

[worldly garden]

Can redeem it using backstage

[lost lodge]

I don’t know about redeeming it with backstage but

[worldly garden]

Yeah i think i should get a new rig

3060 is dated

[lost lodge]

If you can snipe one for cheap, just get it from the auction house

[worldly garden]

Ahh cool

I will

[lost lodge]

Me who’s on a 2060 Super:

[lost lodge]

Used to be an extremely OP car back when I played

[worldly garden]

I will get a x1 carbon

[spiral mica]

no

[lost lodge]

Specially during early game

[worldly garden]

Prbl gen 12 or 13

[lost lodge]

Yes found it out using ChatGPT 💀

[lost lodge]

What

Is a x1 carbon

[worldly garden]

Thinkpad

[lost lodge]

A cpu?

Oh

Laptop

I dunno about laptop stuff

Although I do need one

[worldly garden]

Yeah i bought a gen8 for my dad lasr oct

[lost lodge]

How much was it

[worldly garden]

Highest spec tho

700

[lost lodge]

Oh wow

[worldly garden]

I7 gen 10 vpro and

Rams and stuff

[lost lodge]

My relatives are going to the US for a bit so I was wondering if I should get a laptop or a phone

[worldly garden]

Get a new keyboard

[lost lodge]

Ong wait

[worldly garden]

In used market

[lost lodge]

I was supposed to get the m1 v5

At the end of November

But it’s been delayed

Till the the end of January

Something up with the shipping or smth

[worldly garden]

Cancell it and double the budget

Build a classic tkl

[lost lodge]

The shop said they’ll let me know on Monday about if they can get a single unit shipped to Bangladesh

[lost lodge]

That’s very hard for where I live

Over here, $130 for a keyboard is considered a lot

[worldly garden]

U have 130 ?

As a budget

[lost lodge]

Yes

But there isn’t that much that’s available over here

So only a handful of startup-Ish brands import the keyboards officially

[lost lodge]

@worldly garden calm down 💀

8 hours

Anyways how’s the rainy75 if I don’t get a knob

[worldly garden]

good

oh 8 hours

im grinding some forzathon dont mind me

[patent belfry]

it sucks

[lost lodge]

Oh what

[patent belfry]

its chinesium

[lost lodge]

Idek what to get then

[patent belfry]

filco majestouch

[lost lodge]

Idc about that since

Currently using an overpriced Corsair board that’s very outdated and sounds horrible

[patent belfry]

how is there any correlation there

[lost lodge]

The rainy is cheaper in terms of the features it has compared to if I wanted to get a Corsair/not a Chinese board with the same features

[patent belfry]

youll get 0 after sale support

[chrome raft]

why whats up with monsgeek?

[chrome raft]

the qk101 isnt out yet tho?

[lost lodge]

Oh

Y’all recommend me some keebs only available in the US

Using US prices

Budget is $130 USD

Need it delivered within January 4th

I’ll ask a relative to bring it for me

[patent belfry]

i recommendbuying from reputable makers/vendors

[lost lodge]

Idk anything about US prices

[patent belfry]

thats not at all what i said

[lost lodge]

A $80 board is $140+ in my country

[lost lodge]

Ik what you meant

Like

Ik some brands but I have zero clue about where to check for the current price of the specific boards

From those brands

[patent belfry]

buy from a reputable vendor

in your country

[lost lodge]

I heard there are sales and stuff every now and then

[lost lodge]

Easier said than done

This is my current keyboard, I am realizing that for college I need a number pad, because I’m a computer engineer with lots of math. Any recommendations for a hot-swappable number pad that I could get to go with this. I have leftover tea caps for the number pad.

How is Cooler Master's keyboards?

[worldly garden]

Mid product

[coral ferry]

Did I pay too much?

[still quarry]

where did you get this?

[coral ferry]

Some place called ll!mpoo9 according to the picture

[still quarry]

is that a thrift store

[coral ferry]

Yes

Spacebar makes a weird sound, but otherwise it sounds like it works

Needs an A to A cable

Who TF designed this...(It was CoolerMaster)

[still quarry]

ngl i fuck with that keycap set hard

how much did you pay

[coral ferry]

But we all know CM didn't actually design a keyboard. They just paid someone and put their logo on it

[still quarry]

i guess but coolermaster made some pretty cool boards

[coral ferry]

About 3.5 USD

[still quarry]

for those keycaps alone imo yes it was worth

[coral ferry]

Im i looking at a different picture?

[still quarry]

ill buy it from you

its like that saying

[coral ferry]

You know what keycaps i hate?

[still quarry]

what

[coral ferry]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713xhiKF2rL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[still quarry]

i hate them too but how do they relate to the caps on your coolermaster

[coral ferry]

They relate inversely

[still quarry]

no offense but i dont understand what you're trying to say

those caps to me dont look like generic shitter OEM caps with sharp corners

and if you mean that they're smooth because they're worn out that would mean they're abs, which isnt an inherently bad thing

[patent belfry]

do you guys love thocky keyboards?

[coral ferry]

It's white on white

[coral ferry]

I'd make a keyboard out of piezo igniters if i could

[still quarry]

so you dont like the blue on the caps

[coral ferry]

What blue?

[patent belfry]

just buy gmk pulse

[lone tinsel]

got the nuphy air (75v2)
its awesome so far

theres some crazy amounts of factory lube in there
even the board is kind of wet with it

doesnt feel mushy though, so i'm ok with it

[lost lodge]

Can someone recommend a 75% Aluminium board with a knob, VIA and tri mode for $125 USD

[coral ferry]

After playing around with the keyboard and looking at the manual, it turns out, that Context Menu key on the right is actually a Fn key. Not sure if there is a way to change it. I think the person bought some caps for it, but the set didn't come with an Fn Key and they just said "F it, I'll know it's the Fn Key".

And I find no record of a Orange Switch version of this product. I assumed I was just bad at colors and it was the Brown version, but looking at the keys again it's definitely Orange. And the F9 key, which is supposed to light up when activated, does not. I don't like non-clicky and -non-tactile keys, so I really don't care for the keyboard, but I still give it about a 7/10 since it feels pretty solid, but I occasionally do what to use the Context Menu key. I could probably just do something in windows to force that key to register as the Context Menu key.

[charred plank]

Made an offer on a v1 max so I can give it a chance next

But I still find it unlikely it'll compete well when options half its price are cnc'd metal and sound deeper and have similar gaskets

But maybe it'll be good

But the same people who shill it shill the v1 non max which may as well have been a mainstream gamer keyboard

[worldly garden]

[charred plank]

I'll give it a chance still

hey everyone, I am trying to get the kailh low profile wizard switches in ireland, but cant find anyone or anywhere that would evens ip them here.... any help?

Happy new year chat

Dont be a dumbass while modding keyboards

[bitter wren]

@worldly garden

i love how you say that

can i get your guys's opinions on this

which one sounds better

[modest condor]

first one

[lost lodge]

Going to be doing a tape mod on my first actually moddable keyboard soon

[worldly garden]

No

Dont do it

[patent belfry]

they both sound like butt

[charred plank]

First

[bitter wren]

NOOO

I bought the akko rose woods and put it in my v1 max

so the first was jupiter monkey and the second one was the akko rose wood

oh wait it's switched nvm

But yeah honestly I don' tknow oif that was a fair representation because I did have to turn the mike all the way up because the rosewoods are very quiet

[charred plank]

Tune the space bar stabilizer though

It has some rattle in both

Should improve the sound a lot

[bitter wren]

@charred plank might just

I think a big issue for me is to sound chase

I really want those thoccy creamy sounds

but the issue is that the switches might sound different for all keybaords

[charred plank]

Tbh

If you're chasing sound I'd say focus more on case less on switches at this point

But switches do matter

Just, if you've found a good switch case will be a bigger place to upgrade

what is the best keyboard for gaming under $80

[fleet scroll]

hhkb tomorrow

Praying it includes the mini b to usb a connector

cause i don’t want to order one

[bitter oar]

well, whichever you like more is better

[hollow pasture]

hey there, i have a Logitech G Pro K/DA keyboard.

ive noticed that the keyboard sounds waaaay better when on a blanket. for the past month ive been rocking a blanket under my keyboard (basically on half of my desk) but its kinda annoying when im doing something other than playing games/typing.

Since the keyboard doesnt have hotswappable switches. is there anything i could do to make it sound thicker like id have a blanket under it without actually having one under?

i never modded nor built a keyboard howevber i want to, ive seen some people use foam padding that they put inside their keyboard however i cannot really find a good video/tutorial thats dissasembling this keyboard so i could atleast see the insides of it before i proceed. (if anything like that is even possible)

and i dont really want to mess up the keyboard as its a limited edition

[shut sierra]

Disassembly is usually pretty easy, just a few screws and some ribbon cables underneath. If you’re decently capable with your hands it shouldn’t be a hard process I’m sure you’re able to. Just remember, if there are for whatever reason any clips or anything you need to pry, pry with something softer than the case material as to not damage it (use plastic/rubber pry tools as opposed to metal ones)

Otherwise it’s tough to advise, as every keyboard is different. I’d be surprised if no one has disassembled a Logitech Gpro before tho I’m sure you’re able to find a video

As for what you can do to make the sound better, the go to is usually cramming the case with something dense (foam, tape, blanket, etc.) mess around with a few options and see what sounds best in your opinion 🙂

[hollow pasture]

ill look again tomorrow, i just did a quick google search and all of the videos vere with the hotswap version of the keyboard

[hollow pasture]

alright thank you

[shut sierra]

If its the same case/board assembly will probably be similar though, but youd have to visually check

[hollow pasture]

it is afaik, by the looks of it atleast, only difference is that the switches are swappable

[lost lodge]

why

also

whats better for playing games and typing in general, MOA, ASA or Cherry?

currently using cherrry so you could say the only keycaps ive used in my life are cherry profile

[main narwhal]

Preference

Unless you've used really scoopy keys like mt3 or moa, or are looking for scoopy keys specifically, they are going to feel weird and might eff you up just off that

Moa is also a uniform profile, meaning the caps are all the same shape and height, which might feel weird to you too

ASA are tall, if you want taller caps

Other than that, it's all preference

The only non preference advantage one has over the other is that because MOA is a uniform profile, you can move the caps to any position on the keyboard if you want to try different layouts like azerty or something, or ergo boards

[coral ferry]

If I have a really stupid keyboard that uses USB A for its USB port...what would happen if I just plugged a USB A to C cable into a USB C port on my PC?

[main narwhal]

It depends.

Specifically need a cable with data transfer.

Just make sure you aren't getting a cable that is charging only.

I may have misread your question though, any male usb-c to female usb-a will have data transfer.

[patent belfry]

any damn cable works

my brother uses a type c cable from a weed vape and it works just fine

[main narwhal]

charge only cables exist but I think are kind of rare at this point if you get them from like, a tech store.

no

[coral ferry]

No, just a normal A to C cable.

[main narwhal]

What kind of port does your keyboard have?

[coral ferry]

USB A Female

Stupid, I know

[main narwhal]

Can I see a picture?

or a model

[coral ferry]

hold on

https://deskthority.net/wiki/CM_Storm_QuickFire_XT

[main narwhal]

this should just work then

[coral ferry]

Just tried it. Doesnt work

[main narwhal]

Port might be fried.

It works with the OG cable?

[coral ferry]

no OG cable. As-Is, but I did just test with an an A-A cable I happened to have. Still works

[main narwhal]

and the usb a to c cable works for data transfer?

[coral ferry]

i need to get my phone

inb4 i fried my port

Phone works

[main narwhal]

Data + charging?

@coral ferry https://superuser.com/questions/1773833/why-cant-i-get-data-from-usb-a-to-usb-c-port

[coral ferry]

Dex works, SO I assume Data is working

[coral ferry]

This is backwards. The Device is A and the Host is C

[main narwhal]

Right, like your situation.

Keyboard (device) and PC's usb c port (host)

[coral ferry]

If I really wanted to use it, I'd just buy a longer A-A cable from Amazon. But it's Orange switches...and I dont really like those

I'm happy with my DasKeyboard

oh it’s a quickfire xt

haven’t seen one of those in a while

[coral ferry]

It was 3.50. All I had to do was reset the spacebar

[patent belfry]

[coral ferry]

No, it's one of those ones where it only makes noise if you constantly bottom out

okay i definitely need lighter domes for this hhkb

my accuracy is at an all time low

Hey they’re nice though

i’ll save them for another board

[patent belfry]

???

[coral ferry]

Orange. Non Tactile, Non Clicky

[patent belfry]

I hope you realize I was just making a joke? I still don't understand what you're on about though

[coral ferry]

Though, the spacebar makes a weird sound

[coral ferry]

i don't really know what "thcoky" means...so that's two of us

[coral ferry]

I really wanna get some Super Blacks, but I hear they don't exist anymore...

[patent belfry]

I have some, they are very rare, finding enough for a keyboard would cost you a house payment

they come in the g80-5000

[coral ferry]

I've seen some springs I can buy, but I'd have to mode every single switch

[patent belfry]

that's normal?

nobody uses stock cherry springa

[coral ferry]

"nobody"?

Are you saying everyone opens all their switches and puts new springs in?

[fleet scroll]

hey @patent belfry sorry for the ping, but my hhkb is being Weird

i found a mini usb b cable lying around, plugged it in

didn’t work in arch, that’s fine, i rebooted

still didn’t work, didn’t work in grub either

one of the ports is blue

also probably the wrong person & place to ask

[patent belfry]

look up the dip switch diagram

[fleet scroll]

alright thank u

[patent belfry]

there's a Linux setup

[fleet scroll]

ic

thanks

Sorry for the ping again

[spiral mica]

for cherry switches yeah basically

[fleet scroll]

am i being stupid, or is there no dip switches in there

[spiral mica]

is that a stock pcb?

daughterboard/controller I mean

[fleet scroll]

it should be, i bought it from thocc exchange and the listing mentioned nothing about a modded pcb

[spiral mica]

idk what that is but I would assume its used

[fleet scroll]

okay now that i’m looking at the listing

[spiral mica]

the previous owner prob swapped the controller

[fleet scroll]

apparently it has bluetooth and qmk compatibility

What the fuck

they didn’t give me a dongle lol

[spiral mica]

yeah 3rd party controller

[spiral mica]

dont need dongle for bt

[fleet scroll]

oh true

i’m assuming i need software to change settings, then?

and that also explains why my leds were flashing while it was not plugged in

[spiral mica]

you prob would want to know what pcb that is honestly

[coral ferry]

So, you're saying. The most popular switch used in mechanical keyboards for at least 10 years during it's introduction into popular PC accessories between about 2005-2010...
Of all those keyboards sold and gifted to people...
Less than 5% of people just used the switches as-is?
More than 95% of those people opened up their keyboards, and replaced the springs?

[fleet scroll]

yeah that would really help if they mentioned that

i don’t know if i want to open it right now

[spiral mica]

I mean people who are putting them in boards not the ones that come in stock

[fleet scroll]

also i’m confused why they swapped these keycaps

the original ones were way better

(the prev. owner)

[spiral mica]

honestly your choice

[fleet scroll]

let’s see if bluez shows it

[coral ferry]

Open it up and add all the keys that are missing

[fleet scroll]

??

[spiral mica]

honestly I would guess the controller is a hasu

[fleet scroll]

@spiral mica thanks for the help by the way

[spiral mica]

I dont recall yang one supporting qmk but idk if hasu has bt (it does)

[coral ferry]

There's no Ctrl key.
Also no Del or numpad

[fleet scroll]

del replaces backspace traditionally
numbers are at the top, i don’t need a numpad
ctrl replaces caps lock

[spiral mica]

fire layout

[fleet scroll]

i’m gonna have to figure out how to get it into pairing mode

i’ve never used that key in my life

[coral ferry]

Put the leopard into pairing mode by holding down Fn and pressing Q. The leftmost LED indicator will blink blue when it's in pairing mode.

[coral ferry]

Me neither...I've only ever seen it on an old kb I think it was an FK-2002

it’s on some of my older keyboards too

but my older keyboards are just membrane shit

@coral ferry looks like it just connected

it even has a battery indicator

[shy junco]

hey all, I have a couple of questions around my new Corsair mechanical keyboard (my first one....)

I got the Corsair K70 from LTT Black Friday bundle, and was looking at advice on switches / key caps and more importantly a wrist rest

what would you guys recommend?

I'm used to using a low profile membrane keyboards (Logitech MX Keys) so this new K70 TKL is like double height of my old one lol

[coral ferry]

Yeah, the tall keys are a bit of an uncomfort compared to newer flat keys

Buy a router and mill out an alcove for the keyboard to rest in?

[shy junco]

haha on this desk that's not really an option, as it's an IKEA desk so it's hollow lol

well cardboard filled

[coral ferry]

Cut the top and make a tray?

[shy junco]

an option that doesn't mean cutting up my desk so the Keyboard is fixed into one place would be helpful

[coral ferry]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g8KxmR-cL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

hmmm

Lower the desk and add a layer of wood?

Are you constatly moving the keyboard?

[shy junco]

serious options please lol

[coral ferry]

You want like low profile keycaps?

I wonder if you can mod switches to have shalower stems

[shy junco]

I'm not overly sure, it's my first time using mechanical keyboards, hence why I'm looking for advice that doesn't cutting up my desk or a brand new keyboard

[coral ferry]

oh. It's your first mech

Have you ever used a full size keyboard before? Or just the newer flat keys?

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716JVnruYuL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

This looks pretty shallow, but there's no label...You'd have to draw the letters

[patent belfry]

thocky keyboards

[shy junco]

as I said above, my old keyboard was a low profile MX Keys, full sized keyboard just flat

first time with a mechanical keyboard and first time using TKL

[coral ferry]

No..i mean really full sized...in all dimensions

[patent belfry]

you spent a lot of money on the OEM trash already

id just leave the corsair as is

[shy junco]

wasn't really a lot of money as came free with the backpack from LTT black friday

[patent belfry]

360$ Canadian backpack

you paid for it

[coral ferry]

Don't worry. This sort of things happens when you ask certain people things

[patent belfry]

if youre looking for high quality keycaps look at signature plastics

[coral ferry]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xubMOPFzL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

These look ok, but they seem to rest higher than they have to. Do you have a file?

why are you being cringe

[coral ferry]

"I just got a free keyboard, what can I do to make it more comfortable?"
"Spend 75 dollars on keys that will change almost nothing"

[patent belfry]

spending money on keycaps for that shit will do nothing regardless.

by your logic this conversation is over?

[coral ferry]

If they're more shallow and more comfortable for him, that would do something

[coral ferry]

He's the one who asked for them

I was after advice on keycaps partly as I like the look of the 2 tone caps, but mostly I wanted advice on decent wrist rests for it as it is a very tall keyboard compared to what I'm used to

[patent belfry]

oh a wrist rest

do you have a material preference?

[shy junco]

yeah mentioned it in my very first couple of messages lol

I can see this uses cosairs own MLX gen 2 pre-lubed switches

[shy junco]

I don't think so... never had to used one in the past lol

i like these stone ones just because they are always nice and cool to the touch

[shy junco]

they do look nice!

as IU'm in UK, I'll see if I can find similar over here, if not I hope they ship to UK lol

[patent belfry]

there are plenty of different makers of these

I remember there being a maker in london that did one off orders for clients, for maybe 50 gbp?

[shy junco]

nice! thank you 🙂

looks like switches are not swappable with this keyboard which kinda sucks :/

[patent belfry]

soldering iron time

[main narwhal]

the linnmon?

[shy junco]

yep

[cyan tartan]

whats a budget HE keyboard?

[main narwhal]

linnmons can accomodate things that clamp to it

as long as not too much weight is put on to stress, so a under-desk sliding tray should be alright

if you wanted to drill, you could probably attach a piece of wood to the bottom to the ends and drill into that piece of wood

the ends of the table aren't paper fill since that's where the legs drill in

Got a new keyboard

[lost lodge]

A bit late but I ended up buying cherry profile caps

Specifically, gmk sumi

[lost lodge]

Clones

[fleet scroll]

yeah, turns out it has a bluetooth modding kit

lmfaoo

[patent belfry]

thats amazing. does it work?

[fleet scroll]

yeah

has way better battery life than my old gmk67 too (or so it seems)

and it hasn’t randomly turned off like my gmk67 loved to do

[main narwhal]

i thought that was srircha lol

[main narwhal]
