o nice
but im fine with the mini to be honest
i have no idea lol
the listing didnt specify it
its really nice though
connected to my phone right now
Oh yeah I know it can, I have stuffed mounted to edges etc. I was saying that I don't want to cut into desk just to reduce the height of the keyboard
they have keyboard trays that clamp to the side
Ignore the right arrow. I lost the keycap š
hell yea crazy upgrade
not being linear was enough to persuade me lol
now i must snipe yahoo auctions or something for another
any good somewhat budget modular keyboard? with numpad (or seperate numpad) (not picky about how it sounds)
guys I got this off aliexpress is it any good?
lol
Where is the rgb
Needs shine through RGB led light 16.4 million colors or else
handarbeezy
no windows key?

left alt = windows
right
mb
i usually put a super key
I found the alt first so I just didn't dig for the super key lol
I dont think handar has one
okay topre is definitely acquired lol
i didnt love the sound when i first tried it but now its the best thing iāve ever heard
also feels way better than my laptop keyboards or mx custom keyboard already
and iāve gotten used to the layout
(except for the arrow keys)
this is the hardest thing
yeah iām struggling with the function keys
it would help if the original owner didnāt swap the keycaps so i could see which function key does what lol
its just fn + number
true
im building my s60 v2 pretty soon
1 thing i really like is how the top row is positioned up
frosted pc top, white alu bottom custom hhkb
itās a custom case?
ye
i see
just waiting for the OEM pcb and controller to show up from china
hopefully itās quick
hey the s60 v2 is surprisingly not that expensive
73 gbp
What
oh you using oem pcb?
yeah, with pro 2 domes and realforce r1 housings and purple sliders
well i did convert it from realvirm to gbp
damn that sounds interesting
oh wow
full plate gaskets and silencing rings
i really want to buy a pro 1 for some reason
i doubt iāll ever find one for sale
but iāll look around
you should buy a fucked up one and put it in a custom housing
yeah
2 decade old domes
ive got lots of old realforce domes they aight
the people who sold me my keyboard forgot to take it off of ebay
cause i bought it through their website
cup rubber
iāve heard thereās bad realforces
r1 realforce is good
is that true
iāll have a look at the r1s
oh dat is nice
r1 goodness
are they programmable?
theyre like 500$ a piece
it would be good yeah
yeah i cant even find the r1
87ub is r1
I want this next
variable weight is so nice
fr
thock tuah
Is it hard to remove to protective layer on keychron q series silver boards
which ?
What's a good cheap mechanical keyboard for under $50?
keychron
dont buy k series
You can get a leobog hi75
If you need it fully built, linky 87 might be a really good option too
It's basically like a better v1 max it seems for $31
chinesium
You say that like keychron isn't produced in the same country
Not that country even is a variable... What matters is how it performs per $
over half their lineup is aids on an entusiast level too
Keychron basically makes keyboards that compete as a step up from big gamer memes
But against the real market they're pretty bad options
Unless you need a specific layout on a really low budget maybe
not for enthusiasts
?
I don't think most enthusiast like bad boards
The issue they have is literally they're a mainstream type company masquerading as enthusiast. Good thing for beginners who can't get advice and would otherwise get Razer, but useless if you can get decent advice
ok what would you recommend?
he admitted it chat
finally
is there a lot of difference between 0.125mm and 0.01mm rapid trigger?
the keyboard that came with your computer
mine was a custom built one.
i meant my PC was a custom built one.
so it didn't come with a keyboard.
go to the store and buy a 50$ keyboard
you should buy a realforce
If you need 75% I'd say bridge 75
If you can go smaller neo65
aliexpress or other chinese marketplaces have custom keyboards for good prices
U can only get a kit if u are biying a neo
Give me the names
of?
the keyboards
hi75 and such
75% is peak noob layout.
got a whole bunch of these cute keycaps from the thrift store
wait a second are you for real?
yeah
hold on i got a photo of the bag from the thrift store
they seem DIY or something, maybe they are defects that someone collected and donated there idk
some of them have plastic bits sticking out im guessing from where they injection molded it
do they have any maker stamps on them?
OH ITS MIROTICAPS
he was outed as a pedophile
why couldn't he just be an exit scammer like normal makers
lol
Damnnn
oh damn
maybe imn thinking of someone else
some of their keycaps do look like the ones I got
also it does say that inside it
i feel like i remember someone saying that back a few years ago
wild
vert low profile
Putting my money where my mouth is on keychron
Already bought v1 only to have it confirm to me it's a terrible board for its price
But I bought a v1 max now and q2 to test the same thing with the other two keychrons I see people recommend over boards that in theory and in basically any online test seem to be better
So maybe they'll surprise me
Or, maybe they'll just be the next v1 non max level disappointments
Q2 i can at least mod to be good enough to use though either way
Murphy law followed
zenaim is nice
I tried them in japan and prob one of the best feeling LP I have tried
and it looks rly goood
Oh damn you got to actually try it?
Thats sick
They're selling it on amazon now for $300
Im considering getting it on march
my guess is tokai rika which owns zenaim, the structure doesnt look like anything on the market currently (sllight ressemblence to choc I guess) and tokai rika is probably able to manufacturer it themselves
That explains where they got the capital and knowledge
Interesting venture though lol
Howās the wobble?
I read the tech brief on their switch and the main focus was minimising wobble
dont rly recall but it is definetly better than mx/mx style he
thocky keybor
Give
Me
no im currently typing the bible in japanese
Ok sorry
Ortho ortho
kanji board?
ye
Wait, that's the full kanji kb? If si that's š„
so hoy
how's the air75 HE keyboard you got there ?
the magnetic hall effect buttons must be pretty nice
Its pretty nice, was my first ever HE keyboard, I use it mostly for osu and some other games
It does sound and feel a bit worse than my Lofree keyboards but itās still good
Biggest gripe would be the fact that its not a true low profile keyboard
The switches have pretty much the same travel distance as high profile
So last month I bought my first Linear switch keyboard. The ROG Strix Scope II with those nice Snow switches.
I... Don't like the keyboard much.
The board is hard.
No gasket mount or anything to dampen the feeling when you bottom out the key
Which has taught me that I will probably always prefer tactile switches going forward. The bump makes the press feel softer.
The snow switches themselves are nice. They are prelubed, so they're very smooth and silent.
But without something to make the bottom feel softer, I can't enjoy them.
Is there any mods that could be done to improve this?
anyone know of any keyboards with a layout like the keychron Q65 (macro keys on the left, don't mind if its larger) but without the $150 price tag (or even something that just exists on the used market)
im very obsessed with this macro-keys-on-the-left idea but I'm hoping I won't have to bite the bullet of the price and get that keyboard
i also dont care if i have to do any soldering or sacrifice an ESP32 or what have you
thocky keyboard
Heyo everyone I am trying to get some switches to be specific 1. the Nokelkeys NK Cream 2. the KTT Rose Linear and 3. the ThicThock Shogaki Tactile switshes. I am still unsure which of these 3 I want and wanted some advice on them. Help is very much appreciated ^^
topre 55g
thocky keyboard
Customized q1 max with hand lubbed zaku switches and epbt oragami keycaps.
not full according to my math
~2500 characters
THATS hiragana
Jonna was talking about this one

Broken in NK Creams are nice
I agree
Good news everyone
My insurance claim went through, Keychron is sending me a new package
That was faster than I thought it would take
Now hopefully they didn't contract the same intermediary for delivery...
i would take a refund yk
Why ?
i should be looking ofr naother board already
...why ?
...okay ? And ?
I'd say if you can't provide help to their question to not interject
Don't you have something
Hand lubing is the best
do you all think I should try o-rings on my switches ?
its relatively inexpensive and not too hard
- ive never done mods on a keeb
if u want ur mechanical keyboard to feel like a membrane sure
not worth it
got it
i just want to mod my keyboard without going too in-depth
since the switches are factory lubed
a lot (its all on the pcb as well lol)
what are some quiet switches? i heard lubing them makes them quieter but idk if i want to do that
MX silents
Keychron has barbones options
Thats overlube
Factory lube is only good on some switches. I always lube mine regardless if they are from the factory.
I hate lubing Kailh type switches tho. They never open easily.
lubed springs only >>
I bag lube mine with super lube
Slaps
Were you talking to me or lee ?
I'm super lost
I understood nothing of that interaction
š
my rk61 works on my laptop but on my pc its on but not working
my keyboard is keyboard but won't keyboard when keyboard to keyboard
you should buy a realforce
LSD oil as in... differential oil? For a car?
yes
Interesting lol never heard of that being used for springs, whats the reason? Just due to the properties of the fluid? Why use that vs. other "keyboard specific" lubes?
very cheap, tons of it. used before "keyboard" lubricants
only downside is the smell, but who cares
Yea thats super fair, makes sense. And I assume feel/effect is pretty much the same?
I find my springs have 0 ping with it
oh lol true, didnt think of that before you mentioned it xD
Neat Ill have to try that out then, Ill keep it in mind š
Thanks for the info
im gonna do something funny... im gonna attempt to game on an old dell keyboard LOL
and yes i know it was dusty LOL
thats a nice looking keyboard
THANKS!
beautiful keyboard
I need that marble thock
Crazy it costs almost as much as neo75cu
Some people invest in stocks, this guy invests in switches
#1 vb owner in NA
Itās gonna be a while before I hear back from razer
Anyone has tried a redragon horus k621?
bro got the lego multipack switches set lol
looks like its from one of these
Do you by chance hate money?
???
Why do you have thousands if keyboard switches?
why not ?
i do have a couple of hundreads too
for dozens of keyboard builds
How do you afford em? Keeb switches are expensive af
i have a job
Yeah, but like
In this economy having dozens of keyboard switches
dozens of keyboards
still, i have a job
keeb switches is not that expensive
like 30-50 cents per got u some hmx's
What switch is it btw?
vintage cherry black
date?
idk ask him
very surprised you would know anything about vints at all kvetinky
?
this guy will not recognize the difference between a good ob stems and actual vb stems
if you expect me to feed your rage bait no thanks.
88
He's buying them cause he likes them, used to them. And they do hold value well
I buy them because they are better and cheaper than every switch on the market.
If you manage to get them <15Ā¢ a switch and "best" is subjective
Neat thanks
cheaper
it's ok to be wrong
I paid 2 cents a switch
Not everyone can though for such price and there is no thing such as best switch, availability includes the best part, they're also usually stolen switches from vintage boards, that on itself can be an issue cause of solder residue, not everyone would like the sound profile and above average actuation point
They're best for you*
Ok
you're objectively wrong
N
The new stocks is keeb switches
Okay, explain
Soo 2$ for 100 switches?
well it was 1.8 cents a switch technically, I rounded up for the other smooth brain in chat complaining
you will not find better
budget qmk/via 75% keyboard recommendations pls
Keychron
L take
Im not into budget keyboards anymore
Give him so names u preferred then
Some
$180 keychron vs $50 leobog
@heady dagger what's your budget anyways?
Brb
@ me
just the cheapest one that fits those requirements
Keychron is
was looking at lemokey p1 pro but quite expensive
If thats ur priorities
i want a cheaper alternative

If you want a cheaper alu boards i'd check chinese markets
Yes, there are compatible chinese boards w qmk
75%, wireless and volume knob
like what
Nd75
what brand is that
Optional
Oh a knob? I overlooked you mentioning it mb
i should've mentionned i want linear switches
knob isnt necessary
Oh nvm nd75 doesnt have knob haha
but i dont think nd75 has linear option
There are
Thats just their name
Monsgeek m1w
black and white are both discontinued
Try fond one used
just buy a realforce
He likes linear
blue lotus is linear
what are the most linears of those
i hate choosing switches online
you dont know what they sound like
the akko v3 piano pro cost a little more than the other 2
are they the better switches
about
Plus dont buy directly from the brand site
why? where do i buy then
Because is a bit more expensive
where else
wb aliexpress and such
Avoid aliexpress
Why?
China dinks
fuck AliExpress
its cheaper on monsgeek's official website
Doesn't have to be monsgeek, just search "aluminum keyboard" on aliexpress and pick whichever board you may like
yeah but i want that one
leobog hi75
is that a good ali express keyboard
C$112
Doesn't support qmk
High price
Sk75 can be gotten for around 90 usd
wait no it doesnt have switches
does that have qmk
Yes
I think it does
rn those are my options
monsgeek got crazy shipping fees though
bridge75 looks really really good
i might save up for that
Yeah, those aren't really worth it at 200 cad, you shouldn't
oh
you'd get the womier?
btw my current keyboard is epomaker th80x
its kinda crap
the 2.4ghz dongle is fried so i gotta use it wired now
I've had a dozen monsgeeks they be ok but not worth more than like 50 usd for the barebones
you've had how many?
~15

bridge75 isn't worth?
A lot of them were the same model and some i didn't even open and i resold them later
136 usd
136 us is on the higher side but sounds ok
Then no
yeah but if i spend less i'll get a way worse keyboard
and to get a better keyboard than the bridge75 i'll have to spend way more
ima save up a dollar every hour
i'll get it in 10 days
Welp, you could try buying barebone kit or built off taobao, but it takes some effort to buy it through an agent
what's taobao
basicly aliexpress but not international, asia mostly
barebone bridge 75 aren't on ali
some effort?
how difficult
wait theres the bridge 75 and bridge75 plus
what are the diffs
adds $15 to the cost
oh the rgb
boyy its so expensivee
i've never spent so much on a rectangular piece of metal
i need help funding thisss
Placing order request, asking the agent to provide cheaper economy shipping if possible, shipping may turn out to be expensive due to weight, waiting for the order
what does the bridge 75 max do
and the website is in chinese
You can translate it but yeah that as well
i save $6 if i make a new ali express acc
so 191 before tax
219 after the 15% tax but i dont know if ali express adds that tax
ima check checkout
The base models are usually the only worth buying
bridge 75 isnt rgb
plus has rgb
max idk
wait i dont think theres tax
lets go
so 191 cad
132 usd
are there promo codes i can add on ali express?
I'd say get a bridge 75
P1 kinda sucks
It's basically like that Q2 I showed being worse than the hi75
squeeze a promo code or smth
yes, you should buy them when there are codes, aliexpress provides them every 2 weeks
most of the time than not
ali express stinky
just got this off somewhere
The āgamer boardsā is so true
cute
š
in which way are the pcbs defective?
Cutie can i have belovedhaku for valentine šššš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
out of many boards iāve had 0 so far were defective to a point where it was causing issue heās right about the glorious one having brittle sockets, so i wonder based of whatās that āqcā is on the chinese boards
because just categorising all of the chinese boards as āvery bad / terrible / major QC issueā is vague without an explanation why
i feel like that list is extra not specific so it avoids any responsibility if itās used beyond just subjective matters
iād genuinely like to know the failure rate
Isn't Foxy is the dude who shills keychron yet hypocritically is schizo about all Chinese brands magically having "bad qc". Idk if he even knows keychron is Chinese lol
Reasoning on the list are nonsense, but I do agree that people shouldn't buy rk or. Glorious boards, but it's cause how they sound for their price
But after that the gamer brand one and drop and highground are the only other sensible part of that list
The rest is him just being schizo
"Chinese so bad qc" meanwhile "get keychron for their qc" (based in Hong Kong China and produced in factories throughout China)
Dudes just odd tbh
He's schizo about QC but doesn't know what QC means or implies
And he's schizo about China brands but shills a brand without knowing it's Chinese
imagine arguing over this when realforce is better anyway
Yea, I have an RK (first on the list). As my first keyboard ever it was fine, I learnt how to solder/desolder with it so fine for a project to learn if you donāt want to muck something up, but I do have an issue with the PCB. Still usable but annoying
I just hope that list isnāt based off complaints on reddit and such and that heās objectively basing the āQC issuesā from some sort of reviews/teardowns of the pcbs from other users unless he checked the boards himself, if he found issue with each brand itās still not quite fair to categorise the whole brand as horrible qc
which model btw
RK61, it has an issue where there is a certain column of keys on the right side of the board (the +, }, right shift, and a 2 others I forget) that when you click, it registers as the whole row being clicked
Although honestly idk if thatās potentially an issue I caused when opening it up and soldering and whatnot, or maybe one I didnāt properly install the ribbon cable? Not sure
yeah these have been reported for having issues, the newer models are fine
Yes thatās fair. Honestly itās lasted me a few years at this point and for how much I paid (excluding keycaps cuz I can reuse those) Iām pretty satisfied
Canāt expect a god tier product when paying 60$ Cad
He isnt
I know him
He doesn't even know what QC means
He just says anything that's Chinese has QC and PCB issues
Doesn't know a thing about PCB design or what QC even means though
And ironically he shills keychron purely for qc when he doesn't know what that means and without realizing keychron is Chinese
Realistically most cheap brands probably donāt have crazy QC tho no? Itās probably cheaper for them to ship out pretty much everything and just replace a board if someone complains. I doubt they have extensive QC but thatās just me thinking about it from a cost perspective, not with any real insight on how these companies function
It's keyboards, not cars
QC process is basically the same on all
They get a visual then a power on test
No brands are doing ir scoping to check for internal microfractures or anything
Thatās fair, as I said Iām not sure what the process is, I just assume cheaper brands would cut as many corners as possible to max their margins
They would in other industries
But keyboards are so simple that basically none fail and the QC process is kinda forced to be the same among all
Well if almost no boards fail why check?
Like I said why not ship and just replace if someone complains? Probably cheaper
Because it's still cheaper than a warranty claim to power on 100 boards to find the one that won't power on than to ship it back and forward
Although it's probably more like 1/1000
I canāt speak to that, I donāt know what the costs are between both, although it would probably make a really interesting cost analysis
Anyways I was just curious, was some interesting food for thought as a business student, but like I said I have no inside knowledge lol
Speaking of PCBs though, I found a pretty funny bug in multisim yesterday
Made a circuit that runs on ac and DC on different portions of the circuit, and multisims built in probes as soon as the DC half is connected refuse to read the ac part as ac
They'll read the right values
But they'll only read it as DC
iāve had issues with the trust brand for example, yes itās literally branded ātrustā their mices have sensor issues, occasionally/randomly the sensor just tends to swap horizontal movement for vertical (gxt disan 161) and their mices have cheap iād even call it they just spray painted thick the mouses and moved on, because with usage the plastic layer started to crumble and falling off, their speakers sound poor (well, theyāre cheap) iād personally never buy that brand unless they improve/d
So to figure out readings you need to have an inherent understanding of if that portion should be ac or dc
Yea, most of the time people claim a brand has QC issues it's just an expected failure that big brands can suffer from just as often, but they assume it's an issue cause small brand must be bad and evil
Or it's just them making it up cause they want to shill something worse
the sensor surprisingly felt okay considering rest of the mice, thatās where all the positives end, skates, basicly nonexistent coating unless that cheap spray paint count, heavy, buggy, software gets flagged as malware
the ultimate Redditor chat
Ironically the opposite

All these bs qc claims come from reddit wanting to shill the worst products
They do it in every hobby
ok budget man
ew kbdfans sucks
U told me to buy a 8x earlier
I need to know why keychron has such bad stock stabs
I swear, they're the least flat wires I've ever seen
Price come with quality
qc
No workers have time to mod each set invidually, let alone any other aspects
Leobog hi75 had the best tuned stock stabs I've seen and I wouldn't call it a pricey board
Better tuned than any of the aftermarket stabs I bought too
Part of why I consider it so beginner friendly
Preference thenā¦
Who has a preference for non flat stabilizer wires?
I have both neo clip ins and cherry clip ins. I'd say both are okay, but I'd say the hi75 stock plate stabs have more flat wires by a decent bit still
if a board doesnāt have rattly stabs, the switches are prelubed good enough, no casing defects, unintentional sharp edges, semi consistent issues with pcbs, issues with firmware, keycaps donāt have visible printing issues, keycaps arenāt warped or offset, etc. something that would affect user experience⦠that would be considered solid qc for a keyboard
which decent amount of the chinese boards checkmark, ofc not all but a lot do
Yea, most people just don't use the word QC right
They just use it as a way to justify boards that they can't justify off physical reasonings
Wwhat the fuck are you talking about
I will lube my blues and have u recognized if the stabs is rattle or not
Also, why are gat brown pros just linears that feel scratchy
They feel like my cherry silvers rather than a tactile
It feels like they have a scratchy part of the slide rather than a tactile bump
Light bump
But it's so absurdly light of a bump why even have it
It just makes them feel unlubed instead of feeling like a tactile
i intentionally tap of the keycaps that include stabs to check whenever they rick or rattle, if the spacebar fitting is flushed with the stem, if itās not it usually either ticks or makes an off sound when tapped on by fingernail, wobble, pressing down the keycaps from all corners
@patent belfry vb acquired
if it passes that i determine that my unit doesnāt rattle/tick
Mmm smooth stems
I like kdbfans š
realforce is better
ThĆ© thing is, you canāt make a claim on QC based on one board lol, every company will have defects, QC affects how many defects are detected and let through or not, so itās impossible to conclude on QC with just one board
stock monsgeek stabs atleast the older versions (iirc v4 or v5 m1ās include different stabs) have a lot of ticking and some rattle unlubed
yup
Failure rate isn't qc though, and expected failures don't tie into QC
But people will use QC as if it means all those
Hell, people will use "QC" when FedEx drops their package
Thatās why sure Reddit may not have the most reliable info, but doing research/seeing how many other people have issues with a board is how youāll find out or atleast get a half decent answer
Also itās not even a QC issue necessarily, if you have 0 QC but make a really good board with barely any defects, youāll have x amount of defects say 1/10000, but if you make a shitty board with 1/100 defects, and QC only catches 9/10 (1/1000 defect rate) youāll still have less issues with the first board
Quality control catches defective boards after manufacturing, or part way through the process, itās a way to remove the defective components from the process, and therefore directly affects the final average failure rate of a product as well as the expected failure rate
Yes, but QC in keyboards is pretty simple
And pretty universal
And I've never seen someone make a claim of qc on keyboards and show a company lacking one of the 2 or 3 actual QC steps a keyboard company would have
That doesnāt change the impact it has, whether itās done or not is what matters, the simplicity simply affects the cost and difficulty for companies to implement it
Yes I agree with this I doubt anyone other than workers/friends of workers would have any insight of the process and therefore canāt conclude on QC processes
Except again, none of the dudes claims are based on a company not doing a visual or power on inspection
It's all just because foxy is kinda schizo and doesn't know what QC means
He thinks all Chinese brands have bad qc but loves keychron simply cause he refuses to understand they're Chinese too
Yea its kind of tough to identify if an issue was QC or something else (as you said, shipping) cuz you donāt know if something is wrong till you open the package and itās not like the board comes with a picture of the unit before leaving factory
Thereās no proof of testing or anything so you really have no way of knowing
well, not necessarily entirely wrong when an some employee checks the package if itās not damaged but, yeah i donāt think that would be considered qc rightly but rather just package/delivery inspection
usually itās just meant in terms of manufacturing/product check if the product works or doesnāt have apparent issues, testing, expected failure rates could be considered a part of qc because atleast they have an idea
Yes QC is a term used in manufacturing, anything that happens post product creation is not QC
Issue is how people use the word QC wrong
is this your photo?
I mean, using qc as in context of ensuring the delivery company delivers your package intact or not damaged could be technically considered qc, because in this case the āproductā is shipping, yes itās not manufacturing but a delivery company doesnāt manufacture, it depends on the context but yeah itās not entirely incorrect or correct to use qc that way in modern days
you guys are being insufferable
yes, iām aware that i overgeneralize, i just hope ya understand, i donāt express myself the best
Yeah
No it couldnāt. The final product is sealed and out of the hands of the manufacturer. If the shipping company is checking a package, sure they are performing QC but on the package not the contents, they are only checking their own product/service which is shipping packages, they donāt open the package and check the contents to make sure itās still ok
Itās a public group, no need to read if you arenāt insterested
yeah, theyāre performing QC on the package
Yea exactly
I think I initially misread your first message thatās my bad, I just read it again and yea I see what you mean
bold to assume I'm reading what these clowns say
show caps
Why not just ignore then? If they arenāt worth your time?
literally what I'm doing
Doesnt come ʰith it
a lot of the chinese hotswap pcbs I USED to get had like, insufficient solder on the hot swap pads, but i haven't had/seen that personally in awhile
Rebuilt my keychron q2 with better stabs that I tuned and my cerakeys
but its still pretty mid
also did a tape mod and added let on the plastic sheet it comes with and even copper foil on the rear of the pcb
sounds a lot less hollow
But it jsut sounds kinda like id expect a much cheaper board to sound with all these mods
what's the foil posed to do
and doesnt sound on par with the modded lucky 65
just more absorption?
yeah, did you see what i was doing to the aula f75 pcb? i deliberately wanted to pop the sockets out
copper foil has a pretty good gain curve
with tweezers
USED to get as in like
lawd
5 years ago?
6 years? i'm not sure
does a rreally good at cutting gain to frequencies over 2khz and a really good job at maintaining ut under that
they did pop out but it took like great amount of force
makes it really good when aiming for a deep sound
these pcbs had so little solder on them that popping out the socket did no damage to the trace lol
which is...good in a way lol
but the design of q2 leaves it unable to sound poppy
stock its just really pingy and hollow
and it was multiple batches from different chinese vendors, but yeah, long time ago
modded I got it to sound deep
but like there are cheaper boards that sound deep without as many mods and can sound poppy
neo ergo = ā¤ļø
though
I wish they had a legit 65% neo ergo
instead of the gk64 arrow layout
unironically, I think keychron q series may be the worst sounding aluminum boards money can buy that arent some super obscure meme
or a gamer board
some of kprepublic's in house stuff sounded awful lol
they had a lot of variations of fixed plate cases that all sounded super stiff and pingy
Idk much about those, but this is just horrific knowing its msrp
fortunately I got it basically new for $70
including some that were a single sheet of aluminum bent into the shape of a case lol
speaking of mods
i had ordered equalz stabs and never used them, and when I cracked open the packaging I was confused coz it came with like 5 or 6 different kind of foam pads
which seems...excessive lol
I get one for the top of the stem where the wire touches and one for under the stabilizer
and some of them didn't seem like they would do anything
but what are the rest for lol
they included foam to put between the wire and the pcb to dampen the "sound of the wire hitting the pcb", but the wire doesn't touch the pcb there
if the wire is touching the pcb they might need to rework how they straighten their stabs lol
foams to put between the stab housing and the pcb, with a punchout for where the slider touches the pcb
because there's a DIFFERENT foam to put in that spot made of a different material
lol
foams to wrap around the wire where it inserts into the housing
and foams for the inside of the slider
v1 max arrives today
so ill see if thats the one good keychron
or if the whole company is just overhyped mainstreem trash
my hopes arent too high
but gives it more room to maybe impress me
u are buying e waste and being aware
I mean there are a lot of people who would strongly disagree. so far I have seen theyre just idiots, but im giving those people every chance, cause they make up more than half the people giving advice in this hobby
but maybe v1 max is the one shilled keychron that is good
we will see
already have neo 75
and got it to sound near perfect to my like
visually its ideal for my setup
and I have the modded lucky 65 that audibly is actually perfect for my likes
so now any keyboards I buy are for fun
until something higher end is interesting enough for me
Go get the nk keycult
Too expensive
Ur neo 75 ???
75% is for normies anyway
Rips off tklās
There are a handfull of high ends 65% id u want to
Neo65 cu isnt high end
Is more like an entry level enthusiast board
Go get the belovedhaku
š„±
fr?
Smth used locally will be better for sure
U can find deals in mm
Dm me i will aend a discord where u can find it
I understand u want to experience more keyboards but since u have already buy so much budgey stuff why dont u make an āupdrage ā and not buying trash
please could you clarify why they're trash
point out the issues compared to a high end board
hello Redditors
whats the highest quality black full desk mat i'm gonna get for around $50 CAD no design or anything preferably
depends on how soft you want the mat, surface roughness, glide or control
Yea idk what the logic is behind the choice lol
sounds like a lie
whatever tbh
balanced i guess
quit wasting money then
i wonder if you could do a topre dactyl type borb
They are trash compared to high ends
Why
Dont sit here and ask ppl why, go and get one to know
U can afford 15 monsgeek board for a reason theb u can afford a high end
Buy some tgr or geonworks
they cant
Oh yeah i forgot i cant find any in ali
U should buy a belovedhaku for your girlfriend before the price going up

Trust me
I was thinking about it and then I remembered its a singa board
why are you avoiding my question
nobody is avoiding your question, they gave you a reasonable answer.
no?
he didnāt explain anything at all
I asked why, I didnāt ask him to recommend me a board to find out myself, do you actually think the chinese slop are the only boards i had/tried?
i also asked you for clarification why aliexpress sucks, instead you prefered to call it āstinkyā completely ignore the question and called me smooth brain
ive gotten scammed on ali express 3 times
no
you couldāve opened a dispute, you couldāve just not buy obvious scams
i participate in groupbuys and sketchy marketplaces daily
i won the dispute but not every person will
its not something I can recommend unless its a seller that ive personally been successful with
iāve been scammed on thermal camera recently because the resolution was misleading all i had to do is contact their 24/7 custom service and i managed to get a refund after being rejected
which in the past 10 or so years its been a fat 0 so no recommendation from me
part of this whole hobby thing is to not recommend or talk on something you havent used.
youve admitted to being misled/scammed on the platform and yet you continue to recommend people shop there.
thatās really a skill issue because iāve bought hundreds of products on aliexpress, 5% of which were scams, one time (I) gave up because the seller refused to provide me a return label, if i went further iād get a full refund
otherwise i won all the disputes
includes 50 cent aux cables i ordered
don't care the brevity
their dispute system is on par with what we have in the west, i donāt know why are you complaining, using appeal that most people canāt do it is their issue, as i said literally a skill issue, even on ebay you can get scammed by the seller if you donāt care enough to provide sufficient proof
could have recommended to a 12 year old or someone not very fortunate, what happens when they lose money or a product, that could hit them pretty hard
you asked me for my opinion and now you're saying im complaining?
so delusional
you chose to argue with me after for asking my opinion. so hypocritical or someone who berates others for doing that.
thatās up to the parent then
delusional
i didnāt ask for your opinion, i asked as matter for most people, that you had an issue with aliexpress because of a skill issue is not my problem, same thing may happens when a high end shop for keyboards sends you accidentally the wrong thing, if your skills to prove it are poor youāll lose money as well

itās not really hard to do 3 clicks on the aliexpress site (logged in) to get live support
bro what
U are promoting a scam site
this is a little extreme to say
but i get what u mean
okay, be more exact why
please list atleast one thing why the site is a scam
U personally got scammed there
by the sellers* not the site
The site are tolerating sellers like them
So there is no point putting my money in risk for buying ācheapā products there
they donāt when i contacted about a scam they created a ticket for a complaint
dont fall for bait diamondlee
I mean sure I canāt tell him to use it or not
Just donāt recommend it to everyone u met
there are literally scam listings on ebay, why doesnāt ebay filter it manually? it costs money⦠so they have good return policy to counter that
same with aliexpress
Ebay is old
Thatās literally skill issue whether u can recognize a scam or not
I love my money, so i always pass on sketchy deals
i donāt lol only if itās related to what someone wants to buy
U do !
Whenever i saw u around
how iām supposted to know to know that i get sold a broken aux cable?
U should buy xyz and they are listed in ali
the sellers are scamming, not the site
if you deliberately want to scam yourself with $3 2tb usb flash drives sure
even ebay has/had those
i donāt recommend aliexpress over other sites/retailers unless the same thing costs less on aliexpress including shipping and taxes
thatās important, whenever you saw me not how often i actually did
aight
Thats how i judge you and ur shopping preferences
okay, so to the original point, why do you think the site is a scam?
well, not why you think but why it actually would be a scam?
is that just your opinion or the scam is actually a scam
if itās not just your opinion then list a reason
so far youāve just pointed on the sellers scamming, not the site, the site does not support scams
I dont know anywhere is, however they are tolerating scammers to do business here
they donāt.
Take ur time as i wont be reading what most u say if u take that long to type
could you backup your claim how theyāre tolerating the scams?
okay, so i assume you just assume because there are scam listing laying on the site
why does not ebay or amazon hire more exployees to check the ongoing scams on their site, when they donāt it does not automatically mean the site is a scam, there can be multiple reasons why they seemingly ātolerateā those scams and quite a few of the reasons may not even be intentionally
you shouldāve phrased your argument like aliexpress sellers are scammers, even that would be incorrect as it is a generalization, shouldāve said āa lotā or to watch for them
holy shit you guys are still yapping away in here
it started because what youāve said is misleading, dismissed to clarify why
youāre not obligated to answer me, but then donāt back up or attempt to reinforce your arguments by making fun of me
without actually answering the question
is it that hard to specify whatās worse about mid range or āentry-level enthusiastā boards comparated to high end ones?
I hate to say but but Iāve gotta agree with your logic. I could never recommend Aliexpress as a vendor for many personal reasons, not to mention the points you bring up
@bitter oar I think you should take a step back and read the points they are presenting a bit more objectively. They make some good points that morally Iāve gotta agree with
Buy one and experience it yourself
Or, if youāre really hard set on supporting Ali, both Lee and thocky presented their points and logic, so if youāre still set on your position just agree to disagree š¤·āāļø

Bro talked like a seeder
Thats why most people he ādiscussā to is annoyed
most? ask everyone that iāve talked to and see if 51% agree, itās mostly people from the kbd server that are annoyed because yāall mostly share similar opinions
U arent in there
not to mention that using 12 year old excuse is a poor argument, youāre telling me a 12 year old will manage on his own in case something goes wrong with his order from an āactualā vendor?
CAD $175 for bridge75 plus white version, marketplace, says its new he recieved dec11 good deal?
Their odds are lower than aliexpress, asl any enthusiast and they would agree
how do you know theyāre lower?
than which vendor? on average? your argument is very vague imo
i buy from them
oh the classic anecdote argument
we ar not argue
oh iāll also do that, whenever i was buying (properly) on aliexpress iāve never got scammed, so nobody else will
i feel that logic
everyone wasnt scammed
you should not mix up odds and purchases based off your experience
odds are close to zero than in ali
how do you know
i bought from both places
you still havenāt answered
and most people else
anecdote.
most, okay, atleast give me proper examples
how do you know who has had an issue with such vendors or not
if youāre basing it off few people
how about u buy smth from an actual custom "keyboard" vendor then we can talk
why are you suggesting me this when iām asking why their odds are lower
for u to experiment it out
u like experiments yeah
rose75 by newone, a new keyboard maker
give it a try
if aliexpress has letās say 1% chance, then the vendor would have to have even lower missent packages/ wrong goods sent than that, so if i receive the keyboard intact that was highly in favor of odds
they give better support than aliexpress for sure, since they control a smaller amount of customers
you donāt know if theyāre higher or not basing it off even if iād purchase 10 times in different locations because the number is too low
the original argument was aliexpress was a scam, and 12 year olds
managing in case they get scammed or not receive the package
as said not everyone can file a dispute and actually win the money over back just as someone to prove they received wrong goods or the if package arrived at all

is the volunteer organization that jonna recommended u kick uoutfor yap too much kvet

check that out
tofu isnt 75%
also, how do you know this as well? āfor sureā
is that another personal experience
because all u know is aliexpress shit
go outside and meet real people for once
go to a meet up
did you lose your temper?
not at all
why would u when u are listening to this
This song was written by Bryan Adams and Mutt Lange around a piece of film music by composer Michael Kamen. This trio of songwriters, went on to have 3 number one records during the 1990's. Sadly Kamen died of multiple sclerosis in 2003, Adams says "Losing Michael was like losing a brother, and I think of him every time I sing this song."
This...
as i said all you know is aliexpress
you seem to be stucked in circular reason, theyāre shit because theyāre shit, aliexpress sellers are scammers therefore aliexpress is a scam (despite not providing any proof whatsoever that aliexpress supports those listings), you are switching arguments before answering the original one
name me somewhere else that u get keyboard accesories that isnt ali then
that isnāt sold on aliexpress or what i didnāt purchase from aliexpress
cheapest vendor
name it
cheapest.
i havenāt checked all the vendors, youāre jumping to conclusions
is there even a v3
you dont even know what the hell is qk
are what are you trying to prove here
there are v2 calssic so this is the v3
itās not called v3
v2 is their variation without screen
Damn i had time to go play some games and yall are still on this, just drop it at this point its running in circles
its not avalible in aliexpress
it is not called v3
i donāt care what version it is, you deliberately or unintentionally gave me the wrong name and you still expect to dig yourself out
argue over namings
or you just cannot admit youāre being absolutely wrong
dont stoop down to name calling either though its pointless
v2 with or without the screen is still a v2
you couldāve clearly specified it better, a v2 without a screen or a v2 with a screen
v3 is wrong.
without me telling u wont even know what brand is qk
youāre switching argument again sigh
im just saying
man is saturday i have all time for this
i gave u advice to go experience more keyboard things and not sticking to ali
is up to you, then
you make it sound like aliexpress is the only place where i buy keyboards
where else ?
you literally couldāve called the qk65v2 anything but a v3 because itās confusing
