typed from inky 75

[charred plank]

Elecfox doesn't do all this either

My point is it doesn't matter

[worldly garden]

it does

do you know what is my conclude

[charred plank]

What matters is how the product is and what it cost

[worldly garden]

they are shit

to me and most people

[charred plank]

Think of it like buying a gpu

[fierce mango]

What's the main thing with the neo60 core that makes it so good

[charred plank]

It won't be faster because it has an Asus shroud on it

But it might cost more

As a consumer what matters is what you're getting and what it costs

[fiery sail]

you have to swtich between key layers so much that you dont spend half the day doomscrolling tiktok or arguing with strangers on the internet /s

[worldly garden]

did better wth an inky 75

[worldly garden]

try one youwill know why

[young spoke]

takes like literally no time

[flat dock]

I think neo in general is considered very high quality, and you have plenty of replacement parts you can buy separately to mod or whatever you want to do

[lime ridge]

hey could anyone tell me the difference between these two monitors? like what does 'glossy' vs 'matte' mean, because when i look that up it just looks the same on video

[flat dock]

Glossy looks reflective and smooth like glass. Matte has a soft finish that reduces reflection a bit and diffuses the rest

[lime ridge]

which would be better for a dimmer room?

[flat dock]

its sorta preference

[lime ridge]

oh ok

[gleaming nimbus]

glossy is better for deeper blacks

if you dont have any lights that would reflect off the monitor id go glossy

[flat dock]

Matte tends to degrade the picture quality a tiny bit depending on how good the coating is

there we go ,it took a while to find a good picture on google

[lime ridge]

oh i see

yeah that makes sense

[flat dock]

Left is glossy

[lime ridge]

also do you think the aoc monitor i sent is a decent price for what it is (i dont know much about oled monitor pricing), its about 400 usd with shipping

[chrome mauve]

it's a very good deal

[bleak lark]

Could anyone recommend a key board that's mechanical and super quiet and orange? Lmao

[fiery sail]

whats your budget and would you be fine with replacing switches/keycaps
also, would it be orange enough if the case is black or sth and we put orange keycaps on it (and maybe set RGB to orange for example)

[flat dock]

akko penguins have you covered as far as orange switches

And whisper quiet of course

[fiery sail]

i mean i guess the switches dont need to be orange xDD

[young spoke]

glossy better

also keycaps coming

[fresh jetty]

I have planned the following peripherals for a laptop setup. Any opinions?
EVGA X12
Redragon K582 Surara
AOC 24G4E
Portronics Mport 8 or Portronics Mport 8 Plus (Depending on Ethernet connectivity and port)
STRIFF World Map Extended Size Mouse Pad

Yoooo - I'm trying to clean up my desk a bit. 2x 32in, 1x27x, 1x15in(laptop) - what would your recommendations be for stands/arms?
Trying to get a configuration that allows me to use the laptop again, too 😁

Not opposed to a new desk (current one is 29in deep), but that'd be a last resort since it'd be about $500 - vs ~150ish for arms/stands.
I don't want to wall mount.

I'm currently leaning to a dual (up to 40ish in) and leaving the 27in on its stand vertical. Getting rid of the desk riser, and putting the laptop in the middle under the 2x 32s. Just not sure if there's a stand that'd go high enough (15+17/2, 24in or ~30in if I keep the monitor on its stand) and is sturdy for a decent price.

[fiery sail]

are you opposed to building a desk yourself?
building mine was way faster (and cheaper) than any ikea desk
its 86x35 inches and cost me less than 100€ when i built it

and instead of plywood and other cheap crap with a coatign of plastic its actual massive wood, mine is beech iirc.

genuinely highly recommend if a new desk is an option for you

[glad mortar]

100euro for wood and 700 in tools.

a slab of similar dimensions for a wood I'd like would run me close to $600 alone, so that's not really in the works atm.

[fiery sail]

a screwdriver, 4 angles and 16 screws

oil + paint

preferably 24 screws and a motorized screwdriver, but 16 and manual does the trick as well

[glad mortar]

if you can source the materials, be my guest.

but here in the US - decent hardwood is far from cheap.

pretty much all you'll find for boards is whitewood or southern pine, neither of which would take a stain to the tone I'd want or be very good.
if the solution is a new desk vs arms then meh, that'll be something I expedite and save for more actively.

[fiery sail]

that sucks i guess if prices over there are terrible.
for some people the downsides that each of the mounting systems for monitor arms brigns with them, can only be overcome by not goign with arms and getting a bigger desk so i wnated to brign it up since its often cheaper than people think, but doesnt seem to be the solution for you.

im not rly a monitor arm guy tho, but gl with ur project 😊

[glad mortar]

ballpark estimate for a 6ft x 40in desk using walnut (preferred wood) is somewhere in the realm of 600. Assuming I use a cheaper wood for legs and supports, and don't mess up any of them during tap and drilling.

The boards alone are 433 total.

[fiery sail]

yikes

[glad mortar]

I can't even source 8ft lengths

[fiery sail]

i mean i built mine like 7 years ago so obviously prices are different now

[glad mortar]

yeahhh covid n all...

[fiery sail]

my feet actually are dark grey painted pallets that i got for 15€ each 😄

[glad mortar]

bruh

[fiery sail]

and the one on my right got another like 10x20 inch plate as an armrest

which i absolutely love

[glad mortar]

pallets here are around $50 a pop.

[fiery sail]

WTF

[glad mortar]

hardwood, pressure treated

it's even more for "heavy load" specific pallets

~200

[fiery sail]

over here we got these EUR pallets that can hold a car parking on them and u can easily get one for 10-15 unpainted and maaaaybe 25 tops for a painted one

there is so many decoration and furniture based on them bc they are kinda iconic and cheap

[glad mortar]

revising this to 700. I'd need 2 sets of clamps that exceed 40in jaw width.

[fiery sail]

really easy to build a shelf out of them as well

[glad mortar]

I had a wall of pallet bookshelves in college lol

[fiery sail]

im so glad we have these

if ur going to a shared apartment and there is no furniture out of pallets, sth is fishy xD

feels like u get those when applying for university here

[glad mortar]

I stole mine from a store that didnt have cameras out back watching them

[fiery sail]

based

5 finger sales are the best sales

[glad mortar]

problem is everyone has cameras now

lol

[fiery sail]

i mean, the poor store went bankrupt bc of you!!!1!!1!ONE!!

😡

[glad mortar]

meh, walmart will be fine

yuck. there are 8ft lengths, but only for maple.

and not nearly thick enough

[fiery sail]

i mean its certainly not a terrible idea to keep an eye out

maybe even on the used market

[glad mortar]

I'm on an email list for an arborist and lumbermill

[fiery sail]

especially furniture is thrown away bc people went from halloween to christmas decoration

ok maybe the fire emote in this case might be a bit misleading xD

[glad mortar]

they're supposed to email me when they get a 36x96 slab of walnut or cedar.

[fiery sail]

amazing

[glad mortar]

yeah most of what's tossed around here is ikea - college town n all.

[fiery sail]

ever since i built my desk i hated when i moved in with my gf and her parents just gifted us tons of ikea furniture

3 hours building for a little shelf

like my desk, u just put the pallets up

slam the plate on

and the past years i never even screwed it in xD

[glad mortar]

I've onyl ever used ikea for one of their little cubby/organizers

use it for a shoe rack.

[fiery sail]

my other furniture that i built looks awful, but at least its built in 5 mins

[glad mortar]

me with my dining table.. I lost the bolts that hold it to the base, so now gravity just keeps it there.

[fiery sail]

im just lazy ngl

[glad mortar]

and I cbf to go size them and get new ones

yeeee

[glad mortar]

upping this to ~1200. I'd need two desks, since I can't source 8ft lengths. so two 6x2.(2/3)ft desks

[fiery sail]

thats legit almost like tenfold the price i'd pay xD

(given that i take some shortcuts, my dads alcohol addiction doesnt finance itself)

[glad mortar]

planer, sander, 2 sets of clamps(36in or greater) (149+59+[104+76]) = 388 for tools alone

[fiery sail]

wtf i can just tell the hardware store to sand them for me for free xD

[glad mortar]

I can to but I don't trust them to do it evenly across 4 boards.

[fiery sail]

u might consider a flight to the EU and back, might be cheaper xD

[glad mortar]

I'd sand them after glueing.

[fiery sail]

ah i see

i mean sure if u want to go extra thats an option

[glad mortar]

do it right or do it again (later).

[fiery sail]

true

although i would trust the people at the store more than i trust myself 😄

[glad mortar]

I'm decently handy - just usually mechanically; less so in the wood-working department.

[fiery sail]

ur certainly a handy person, had a great talk so far :3

[glad mortar]

If you've got a sketch/diagram for the desk you made, I'll give it a read and price out what it'd be currently.

[fiery sail]

no it was just 2 pallets, plate of your choice, i went with roughly 85x35x1 inch
2 angles for each of the pallets and some screws.

then glaze and paint

[glad mortar]

ahh

[fiery sail]

here we mostly have oak and beech

but obviously thats up for choice and regional prices, preference more than "copy 1 :1"

[glad mortar]

Most lumber in the US that's decently cheap is pine or oak, both of which look awful to me lol

[fiery sail]

oh true its oak, im not having a pokemon professor for a desk plate

oh no wait hes also called oak in the games right?

[glad mortar]

yeah lol

[fiery sail]

well 😄

at 7 years turns out i didnt already play games in english

[fierce mango]

I've always been a fan of walnut but the tropical walnut I prefer is a little expensive, sucks 😂

[glad mortar]

cries in Florida

[fiery sail]

i never had tropical walnut, how does it taste?

[glad mortar]

mulchy

[fierce mango]

Upgrading my keyboard soon but here's my wrist rest

[fiery sail]

i love myself some mulchy nuts

[glad mortar]

Rough sketch for how I'd build them.

the side legs would have to have some sort of cross bracing I feel like.

[fiery sail]

actually, maybe
import pallets from EU 🤣

[glad mortar]

oof i don't even wanna think what that custom's charge would be.

[fiery sail]

AI sumamry sais a few hundred to 1k €

[glad mortar]

yeahhh at that point just build the desk the way I want as above lol

[fiery sail]

i think the worst thign about it that if its a few hundred € its still kinda competitive with those heavy weight pallets xD

[glad mortar]

true that lol

[fiery sail]

(not that those were a good option in the first palce tho)

[glad mortar]

I could do butcher's block

nvm they're all 25in deep

so i'd either have a more shallow desk, or one that's 50in deep and nearly a square.

[novel orchid]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eju7cN4
So I want already for a while now new switches in my keychron v1. I wanted something a bit thockier, but I don't want to immediately spend lots of money. So I just found this, and I was like why is the bottom black? But for what I've read, this is probably a little different material, and it probably makes it more thocky. And the price is a little more than 20 bucks for 90 pieces, so I don't feel that bad if I wouldnt like them as much as I expected.

Just wanted to check if it is fine to buy switches on aliexpress, if it is okay that the bottom is black?

I've checked the seller and he seems to have lots of reviews and sold items.

[fiery sail]

u wanted 2 desks anyway, no?
so u could have 50x30 and 50x20

[glad mortar]

2 desks if they're less than 8ft, these are 8ft lengths.

[fiery sail]

ah i see

[glad mortar]

I can find up to 10ft long too

which would be... yuge

[fiery sail]

so much space for dirty dishes

[glad mortar]

it would also have to be assembled entirely within my office lol

[fiery sail]

alternatively

assenble ur office entirely within the desk 🤔

[glad mortar]

give me $400k to build my dream house and done.

[fiery sail]

thats a lot of monopoly games i'd have to buy

no its just 1 nvm

sure give me a minute

i hope exporting monopoly money costs less than the pallets tho

[worldly garden]

Greed won all the time

When u have 400k u will want 4m, and so on

[flat dock]

Its fine if you don't need super bright rgb effects

lots of different switches that come in all kinds of different housing colors or designs

[patent flint]

Im thinking of getting the flydigi apex 4 but i heard the latency is kindaa bad though? Is it fixed or is it just there or should i get an 8bitdo instead

[novel orchid]

Ah okay thanks.

[bleak lark]

No budget besides not being unreasonably priced tbh, I can change key caps n stuff. And by orange I mean like the keys, the body can be white or something. Wired preferably, tyyy :3

[fiery sail]

alright, so basically we are looking at the best keyboard for you and put silent switches and orange keycaps in?

99% of boards have wired connection

so that shouldnt be a concern

[bleak lark]

I guess, I dunno what's good or anything, but nothing too high end, just a decent keyboard that's quiet. Gimme like 8 hrs tho I'm about to go home, I completely forgot what size keyboard, I think I have a 60% keyboard with a numpad but idk lol

[sleek bronze]

Anyone with the LG 45 oled?

I really need a new work monitor and I think it's the only one I'd like

[fiery sail]

the most important things would be what size you want and if you want linear or tactile switches.
since you want silent anyway, stuff like sound profile wont really matter 😄
after that it would be more of a matter of finding what keyboards are cheapest in your region and what features in a keyboard are your personal preference (volume knob, gasket mount, metal case, software, etc.)

[bleak lark]

the best switches for gaming i guess, idk the size https://www.amazon.com/ENHANCE-Infiltrate-Hybrid-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07DVZDN2K and i dont really care about any extra features, unless its like a spotify screen dashboard or something where i could skip songs while in game lmfao

[flat dock]

Thats called full size or 100%

[fierce mango]

Membrane

😭

[worldly garden]

excuse me

no shame on membrane

[young spoke]

please shame it

[late zinc]

No, all the shame. Shit should not exist anymore

[worldly garden]

call those topre specialists

[boreal rivet]

the sun would collapse into a black hole before you understood topre isn't membrane

[worldly garden]

look at this ragebaitted discord user

[young spoke]

third set of keycaps arrived

[fervent breach]

hello

WELL actually

topre isn’t membrane

Electrocapacitive

[worldly garden]

ur blue sam set is so cooked

[young spoke]

i know

i lost the key

thats just what i had it works

[fervent breach]

i hate this

[fervent breach]

oh god what is that middle layout

[young spoke]

75%

[fervent breach]

yeah but

jesus christ man

[young spoke]

what

[fervent breach]

why does it look like that

what did they do to 75%

[young spoke]

wdym

its 75% expanded

[fervent breach]

it looks like a murdered fc980c

[young spoke]

this is a very common layout

[fervent breach]

i have never seen a 75% like that

75% is very common but not That

[young spoke]

literally every keyboard in the 40-90 range is a gasket mounted 75%

[fervent breach]

maybe i am crazy

oh i think i see why i find it weird

why are some mods different colours

[young spoke]

literally all but like 2 of the top images

yeah all but 4 are expanded 75

[fervent breach]

noe cause the arrow keys aren’t spaced there

[young spoke]

theres one 65 actually

i prefer that

[fervent breach]

i think the mods threw me off

[young spoke]

prevents misclicks to pg dn/shift

[fervent breach]

lowkey i don’t know if i like dedicated arrow keys or hhkb arrow keys

[young spoke]

also no ones talking about the fact i have num 0 on my enter key at the bottom

how did both of you ignore that

[fervent breach]

why are all mx boards scuffed

[fervent breach]

where did the enter go

[young spoke]

i didnt have an enter key

[fervent breach]

what

[young spoke]

i have 2 broken ones

[fervent breach]

how do u even break keycaps

[young spoke]

idk

[fervent breach]

Well you surely do

[young spoke]

they cracked

[fervent breach]

how did you break urs

[young spoke]

the stems

[fervent breach]

How

[young spoke]

the blue keycaps are bottom of the barrel quality

[fervent breach]

why buy

[young spoke]

and this yellow enter key i have has been used for like 4 years

[young spoke]

idk

they looked alright

[fervent breach]

bro is clueless

joke

[young spoke]

i am

also fun fact

4 of the blue keycaps broke

[fervent breach]

Dude

[young spoke]

4 entire keycaps

[fervent breach]

that is insane

[young spoke]

ikr

[fervent breach]

membrane abs sets don’t break like dat

[young spoke]

they were attack shark pbt doubleshot keycaps

[fervent breach]

Doubleshot pbt

were they really that bad

[young spoke]

https://attackshark.co.uk/products/attack-shark-pbt-keycaps-144-keys-full-keycap-set?shpxid=50fe057e-a4c0-4dd5-a82d-86ad6a47c774

20 fucking pounds

literal scam

[fervent breach]

this is why topre limited keycaps is good trust me

if you have a limited market then you’re forced to make better products

Boom

[young spoke]

shut your topre ass up

[fervent breach]

to be honest i do legitimately like there being a low amount of topre keycaps available because you always know what you’re looking at if you see a set usually

and it’s like

Collecting is so much easier and fun

[charred plank]

I feel like some of this guy's mistakes need to at some point be on him and not every company he interacts with

Pbt for the most part is pbt

If you're breaking keycaps left and right it's probably on you

[young spoke]

ok sure

i didnt even press half the kyecaps that broke

the others i pressed rarely

generally wouldnt recommend attack shark keycaps

absolutely abysmal quality

[charred plank]

Idk, there is a point where mistakes can be bad luck, and there is a point where it's just the person

[young spoke]

wheres that point?

ive literally not broken a single keycap in 4 different sets

[charred plank]

My sister is a similar way. She doesn't know how to use anything so she calls me almost daily about something breaking

[young spoke]

actually other then the yellow enter key

[charred plank]

Each time I tell her it's her fault and to use things right

[young spoke]

theyre keycaps

you press them down thats it

[charred plank]

But she's less superstitious about it

She doesn't start attributing her mistakes to companies or colors

[young spoke]

i mean

[charred plank]

And maybe you're just really unlucky

But I mean

[young spoke]

you say that as if they arent the only keycaps that have broken other then a different one

literally 4/5 keycaps ive broken in the last 12 years of using keyboards have been this set

therefor i dont want to recommend them

[charred plank]

Probably improper use, you put them on a set of switches with an oversized stem, maybe bad luck, maybe improper storage, possibly just bad luck

But I doubt it's the color being cursed or something

It's just a dye

[young spoke]

its probably just the random brand set i got for 10 off amazon

these aifei keycaps are pretty good ngl

they feel great

[fiery sail]

Are you arguijg with biooc again? How is it going 😅

[young spoke]

good

[fiery sail]

I didnt expect to ever get that reaction

[fervent breach]

why is he a stupid person?

[young spoke]

[flat dock]

I'm going to glue some topre domes to a plastic sheet

You can't stop me

Guys i need help for my keyboar/

My dell keyboard presses Space when i hit left arrow and same with reverse, Types 5 from the num pad when i hit backspace and it hits / when i hit enter

it happened to me like 3 months ago, i left it in a box or some months, and it worked fine. But now, it started again/

[fervent breach]

throw it away

[floral iris]

I have a question, does every single keyboard works on ps5 as long as it have usb dongle?

[young spoke]

yeah

[cunning cosmos]

Hey guys is an LG UWQHD 85 hz monitor good for casual 1440p gaming?

[analog merlin]

best $150 wireless headset maybe some rgb cuz i like performance?

[young spoke]

for $150 i’d say get a decent pair of headphones/iems and an external mic

or just get some moondrop chus for $20

also #audio-tech people are probably smarter

[fiery sail]

if you play a variety of games i wouldnt default to ultrawide and 85Hz
a lot of games dotn even have ultrawide support and u will get balck bars left and right.
others have support, but are far from optimized for it.
also ultrawides most often are quite overpriced.

if you want something 1440p but a little extra, whilst OLED is too expensive for you, i cant recommend miniLED enough.
its universally great for games and watching movies/videos. they cost about 300$/€

[cunning cosmos]

Yea Ik it’s just that I got it as a hand me down so it was technically free

[fiery sail]

thats awesome, for free noone can complain and you can see if you like ultrawide for future purchases

[cunning cosmos]

I do kind of dig having an ultrawide monitor because if I wanna have two windows open at once it would be a little bit bigger per window, if that makes sense

Here’s the link to the monitor I have: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34wn750-b-ultrawide-monitor

[fiery sail]

certainly works if you only have one monitor

when buying new its actually cheaper to buy 2 monitors than 1 ultrawide and you would have more space
but again, its free, a decent solution and lets you explore a lot of things

[golden pecan]

Goodday,
I have an MSI Monitor, i reckon it's about ~3-4 years old at this point.
But I've had this issue for atleast 2 years now and it's bugging me more and more.
I've done several attempts of troubleshooting/diagnosing but have never been able to find what causes it.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this and how they fixed it, or if it's something with the board inside that wouldn't be worth fixing.
Usually have this on startup, and sometimes disapears when turning monitor on and off. Sometimes it just goes up and down like on the video for 10-15 minutes, other times it just takes up the whole screen and won't dissapear unless I turn it on/off. It's not the cable, I've moved/changed setups probably 3-4 times in this period and the issue remains.

[fervent breach]

buy a new monitor

[cloud forum]

Anyone here used the red dragon k617 magnetic switch keyboard? Looking for a new keyboard

[fervent breach]

buy a topre keyboard

[cloud forum]

How much are those?

[fervent breach]

ranges from like £70 (cheapest possible way to get a hhkb) to

well infinity i guess

realistically the most you’ll see someone spend on a topre keyboard is like £5000

but don’t expect to have to pay that much lol

[cloud forum]

oh ok thank you

[young spoke]

dont buy topre

this mf is just number one rubber glazer

give him any thing with rubber domes from japan and he'll finish

[fiery sail]

yeah

literally just

"i personally like topre so this has to be universally true for everyone out there"

[fervent breach]

you personally like mx

you recommend it to people

i do not say this

[winter plume]

is HDR supposed to be worse than SDR? i tested it in elden ring, rdr2, split fiction and exp 33, and SDR looks WAY better than HDR

[bitter oar]

what's your monitor?

[winter plume]

MSI MPG 271QRX

[stray scarab]

did you do the HDR calibration tool from MS store

it makes a world of difference

HDR is a game changer, but it takes some setup

I personally never run SDR now

[winter plume]

oh

ill def do that, thanks

[stray scarab]

no problem

can someone help me make sure I have everything I need for my custom keybaord and that its good? Also im p sure my keys r way too expensive does anyone know other options for gold and black?
https://kineticlabs.com/lube/krytox/205-grade-0
https://kbdfans.com/products/gmk-black-gold?variant=43094719037579 (Base) (Ik the key caps r rlly expensive but I cant find a cheaper pair that looks like them and I rlly like how they look, also 2 vendors cause the second set is out of stock at the first)

https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo80?variant=44175315108083

[young spoke]

not sure how good the cream blue pro v5s are

theres probably better out there

boba U4s maybe

[upper hill]

are the switches like not consistent or smth?

I picked them cause i rlly like their sound

[young spoke]

akko switches have chattering sometimes

[upper hill]

o ok

lemme take a look at the boba U4 then

[young spoke]

my v3 cream blue pros have chattering on some switches

theyre more of a medium tactile

idk if you want a medium tactile though

for a light tactile id recommend the ktt matchas 100%

[upper hill]

I listend to the ktt matchas

they sound too clacky for my prefrence

not thocky enough

[young spoke]

foam will make most of the difference

the switch you use barely matters if your going for thock

as long as it isnt silent or clicky youll be fine

matchas definitely can be thocky though

[upper hill]

k, is my base fine for thockyness?

[young spoke]

yeah

[upper hill]

k thx

also do u have suggestions on keys that are also gold and black but cheaper?

[young spoke]

id recommend the PC plate actually

[upper hill]

for sound or sturdyness or both?

[young spoke]

not really gmk are the gold standard (pun intended)

[young spoke]

sound

[upper hill]

k

[young spoke]

the pc plate has more flex

makes a better typing feel

[upper hill]

ik that they're rlly good keys but i also dont wanna spend $200 on them 😭

but i cant find cheaper options

[upper hill]

ill be typing a lot so thats good, ill prolly switch then

[young spoke]

Npbt basics are perfectly fine if you can sacrifice the gold look

[upper hill]

I cant sadly cause the rest of my setup is black and gold

so i gotta stay consistent

[young spoke]

yeah with a more flexy plate youll bottom out and then the plate will go down a bit making it so it doesnt feel like pressing against a hard wall

for a cheap set you can go for these

you wont get much better below $50

id buy these and then save for gmk caps

[upper hill]

k thx for the help

am I missing anything?

[young spoke]

nope

unless you want some more foam for the inside of the board

[upper hill]

should I get that?

would u recommend it

for typing or sound

[young spoke]

yeah

itll make it more thocky

[upper hill]

where should I get it from?

[young spoke]

a PE foam sheet from aliexpress or something will be fine

youll want 1-2mm thick

[worldly garden]

dude first build is having a gmk keycaps and NOVELTIES ?

this community is going so up

anyway

if you are still insists on those akko switches, you wont need lube because they are pre lubed

imo those sounds meh to me, since these days we have better alternatives

overall, good build !

[upper hill]

Im gonna change the akko switches idk to what yet tho

[upper hill]

thats js waht I wanted the look to be like i was searching for cheaper ones lmao

[worldly garden]

[upper hill]

[worldly garden]

keygeek oat

my pers to go for creamy foamboards though, doesnt have chance to build another one yet

[upper hill]

I thought that was the youtubers name 😭

[upper hill]

someone recommended I add a 1-2 mm foam in the keyboard

[upper hill]

https://divinikey.com/products/keygeek-oat-linear-switches?srsltid=AfmBOopEObo3xt2v6RryaazkbfgEB9BoNhssbFIlQeUgpaXwWAJVjR6O

[worldly garden]

[upper hill]

thats still 120 + preorder

so ima js go w the etsy ones

https://www.qwertykeys.com/products/neo80?variant=44175315108083

thats the base im using

is that good + a 1-2mm foam?

[worldly garden]

well is up to you

gmk is the best braand in keycaps, like literally

and idek what brand that overpriced etsy cap it is

[worldly garden]

which kind

neo80 came with foams

[young spoke]

PE foam is ideal

[young spoke]

he wants thock so 100x as much foam as stock

[worldly garden]

you are a crime made his choice in keycaps from right to wrong

[young spoke]

it was half the price bruh

[worldly garden]

it was half the quality too man

[young spoke]

if he wants gmks then good but the set i said was perfectly fine

[young spoke]

disagree

[worldly garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyYPckS-99Q

mmmm

[young spoke]

i kinda want to buy these

[upper hill]

this foam

[young spoke]

but i don’t have a spare £1200 except for this

[upper hill]

is the neo80 foam enough?

[young spoke]

yeah just go on aliexpress and buy a pe foam sheet for like $0.50

[young spoke]

yeah but more foam is better

[upper hill]

k

[worldly garden]

is time

[worldly garden]

???

[young spoke]

keycult or car

[worldly garden]

goddman it dude

[young spoke]

for a deep sound just load that shit up

silicone is also an option

[worldly garden]

for a deep sound just buy a chinesium prebuilt

[young spoke]

bruh

that’s what he wants

anyway yeah KTT matchas would be my pick but something like boba U4s are good

[worldly garden]

spirng pings on those gazzews

[young spoke]

just try whatever switch you want

[worldly garden]

@upper hill https://vi.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-pbt-keycaps-black-gold.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0

find the cheapest set u want

no point spending over 30 quid for "nice pbt" keycaps

only pbt i trust are SA SP and OG cherries

and for your neo 80

choose pc/pom plate

or pp

[young spoke]

dont

they will just break immediately

the cannonkeys pbt basics are absolutely worth it

That is prolly a scam right

Or rlly low quality

[upper hill]

Do u think the link I js sent that those will break rlly quickly?

[young spoke]

they’re clones

but they’ll be fine

[upper hill]

K bet that’s awesome

In a bit ima send a final list of parts r u fine if I ping u to take a look at them?

@young spoke

These r all of the parts

neo 80, the aliexpress foam sheet and keycaps, v5 creamt blue pro switches, and krytox lube

r they good?

also I did 2 mm for the foam, is 1mm better, and will it fit into my keyboard?

I can probably js use scissors to cut it down to the right size, right?

[young spoke]

1mm is better

1mm 35x100 is probably better

what are you using the lube for btw?

[fervent breach]

topre

joke

[upper hill]

Don’t I need it?

Wait nvm the switches r preluded

[young spoke]

yeah

[upper hill]

Preluded

[young spoke]

i thought you were lubing stabs

[upper hill]

r the other stuff good?

[young spoke]

but neo80 is pre lubed so idk

[upper hill]

What r stabs?

[young spoke]

yeah

[young spoke]

stabilisers

[upper hill]

O ok

Wait do I need to buy them

Or do they come w the neo 80

[fervent breach]

depends

some barebones kits come with stabs and some don’t

iirc they usually will

yeah i think neo80 has stabilisers included in a barebones kit

[upper hill]

I don’t see stabilizers

[young spoke]

stabilisers are included

youll need to lube them though

so get that tube of lube from here https://kineticlabs.com/lube/krytox/205-grade-0

all youll need to do is put in the stabilisers then squirt some lube into the wires when installed

pictures even have the steps

literally just do that once you install the stabs

[upper hill]

Do I need to solder anything?

I don’t think so right?

[upper hill]

Also where do I need to install stabilizers

[young spoke]

no

[upper hill]

Cause I thought it was w any key larger than regular but there’s more than 4 of those

[upper hill]

Nvm idk where I saw 4

Mb

[upper hill]

K bet

[young spoke]

spacebar left/right shift (if right shift is full size) enter and backspace

[upper hill]

Do I need multiple on the spacebar?

Like 1 on the right and one on the left?

[young spoke]

nah just one

it’ll be the really long wire

and the housings are universal for all the stabiliser wires

[fervent breach]

lowkey mx has gotten too easy

too widely used

too common

exterminate the noobs

[bitter oar]

btw doesn’t have to be krytox or tribosys

printer lubes work as well. i started using 6020A instead of krytox

[young spoke]

no that was just the link he send earlier

any syringe will be good

most of the time youll need a seperate syringe that you dip in a pot of lube

[boreal rivet]

failure to gatekeep lowkey ruined mx

[upper hill]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/CH-9315411-NA/dark-core-rgb-pro-wireless-gaming-mouse-ch-9315411-na is this a good mouse? RIght at my budget of $100. I have a full palm grip with a hand size of about 7x4 inches

[bitter oar]

cheaper with more options

that’s good no?

[fervent breach]

AND WORSE

ITS SO MUCH WORSE

can we go back to the days of vintage cherry mx blacks

[bitter oar]

objectively it has gotten better

[fervent breach]

and handwiring your own keyboard with a random plate and case you spent 5 years sourcing

[fervent breach]

no man it’s too normie

[bitter oar]

there are more switches with travel force that aren’t bumpy or (scratchy)

for cheap

[bitter oar]

you can still do that

[fervent breach]

yes but you don’t have to

where’s the difficulty

[bitter oar]

some people want to invest time in something else than building a keyboard

[fervent breach]

yeah i get it

but also BORING

get a prebuilt membrane

[bitter oar]

you can still funny mod even the next-gen mx boards

[fervent breach]

although i hate linear

[fervent breach]

they’re lame

i hate modern mx

[bitter oar]

i mean most people are content with the upgrades to casing from plastic to aluminum/+brass/brass or such, lubed switches that are not scratchy, hotswappable pcb, so when your switch breaks you don’t have to desolder the switch or replace the whole board, pbt instead of abs keycaps that the gaming brands have been giving us on $100 keyboards brand new, more web and open source programs/software for keyboards, detachable cable - we take it for granted now but even some more expensive boards didn’t have that

[fervent breach]

i’d rather have less features / goodies

honestly

all of those things still existed back in the Good mx period

[bitter oar]

if it means cheaper price sure, but we live in capitasm 💀

[fervent breach]

but you had to work for them lol

[fervent breach]

capitalism is alright

[bitter oar]

sure but, companies want us to spend as much as possible on goods, (not exclusive to capitalism i just wanted to make a joke)

[bitter oar]

yeah, and it’s good they’re so accesible now no?

[fervent breach]

yeah and i Hateee it

too accessible

nothing is rare

everything is everywhere

there is 5000 metal tkls

[bitter oar]

yes but that’s good for the consumer, when stuff is serviceable like open source software, not having to throw away a keyboard when your cable or switch snaps/breaks

[fervent breach]

Kill the consumer

[fervent breach]

just keep backup switches

and solder on a new cable

and solder on a new switch

and write ur own software

[bitter oar]

unfortunately not everyone has the time and skill

[bitter oar]

i think playing with or contribution to the current software is more wise

there is nothing much wrong with qmk for example

[idle shadow]

I need one of those double monitor attachment things for my laptop but idk which one to get.

does anyone have any recommendations?

[barren elbow]

keyboard and mouse

👍

[worn charm]

the thing with topre is u gotta get used to it

like from switching to 55g domes to 30g domes for example even within topre

it takes a while to get used to

[worldly garden]

im ready for the switch

[tidal charm]

It’d 800$

[gleaming nimbus]

ah sorry probably sale prices

[tidal charm]

There’s the 280hz option

Oh it’s 582 on Amazon

Is there something similar on Newegg

That’s where I gatta buy a monitor bc of my gift card balance

[gleaming nimbus]

you could ask to price match

if its sold and shipped by amazon

[hearty plover]

whats a good budget keyboard

Hey guys, i wanted some recommendations for a mouse around 50 euro

I saw some razer ones that were on sale from 80 to 50

[fervent breach]

mow a lawn

[fervent breach]

darmoshark m3s pro wireless is really good

u should be able to get it for cheap

[fervent breach]

150 is so budget

[bitter oar]

it depends on your preferred grip style, hand size (measure it), loud/quiet + clicky/spammable clicks
i would look for mouses that have said to have good rubberized coating, unless you like more bare plastic, slippery feeling like lego, skates that glide and glide properly, mouses that have less switch grinding cases, no creaking, no pre-travel on clicks and ideally less post-travel, no sensor rattle, no squishy/mushy scroll wheel, ideally paw 3370/3395 sensor which can be nowadays gotten for like $20

[bitter oar]

i would probably get something else nowadays, darmoshark m3 series does have some possible minor qc issues - casing creaking (common), a bit of switch grinding (also common) and mushy scroll wheels i’ve had on one unit which was also fixable

Stop recommending attack shark mice. They suck

[young spoke]

what why

[young spoke]

any keycaps with a cross pattern stem

[silent saffron]

QC issues

their keycaps also have terrible QC

Other Chinese manufacturers just have them beaten

[young spoke]

what should i recommend them

[silent saffron]

ATK or mchose around the 50 mark

[young spoke]

fair

[silent saffron]

Under 100 like hyperlight or something from scyrox

mchose good

just SA but they make it shorter

talking about oem my Oem profile realforce r1 87usd 10th is coming tomorrow

yeah the difference I see is the edges are weirdly shaped like when I make a mistake with my constraints in fusion 360

bro uses fusion 360

[flat dock]

and you don't use anything because you can't afford software after buying all your topre keyboards :/

there is no most perfect single profile so additional keycap profiles are welcome

thats your qk duo ?

i will never understand rounded edges on a keycap

they feel and terrible terrible

ok dude, is time for you to go on aliexpress and buy your next pbt cherry profile set...

coz i have a buncha 40s and splits

[coral ferry]

Is it worth 50 dollars to go from a normal IPS monitor to an "HDR10" monitor?

I get the feeling HDR10 is something you can put on almost any monitor and call it a day, with no effort, and no actual difference

[tardy saddle]

Do you want to ensure the torture that is getting HDR to work correctly on Windows?

[coral ferry]

I'm fine with that. I also have some Blu-ray players

[flat dock]

I don't know a whole lot about monitors but I think most computer monitors, even advertising HDR10, don't really have enough brightness to get a good HDR experience

[tardy saddle]

This. If it's not at least Display HDR1000, it's not going to be an amazing experience. https://displayhdr.org/

[coral ferry]

That's what i was thinking. I'll check the model numbers when i go next. I need to bring a power cable so i can test them before i make the effort of carrying it home in case the panel is broke

https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-32ml600m-b-led-monitor

I think this was the model. How TF this monitor supposed to be hdr if the gamut is only 95%...

Does it help if i work nights and my computer area is purposefully darkened?

[tardy saddle]

It only needs to be a minimum Gamut as per the site I linked above. Something something marketing.

[tardy saddle]

Personally, I wouldn't get that monitor just for HDR alone. At the right price, it's an acceptable 1440p 144Hz monitor, but it's a VA panel and doesn't really have the specs to do HDR properly.

The LG 32GN600-B is alright for HDR. It displays deep blacks in dark rooms thanks to its high native contrast ratio, but it doesn't have a local dimming feature to further improve it. Unfortunately, it can't display the wide range of colors needed for HDR, and it has low peak brightness, so colors and highlights look dull and muted.
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gn600-b

[coral ferry]

Cool. Thanks

I really should have made a note of all the monitors. There were several from 2020 or later

I already have a "decent"(to me...im not that good at seeing) UHD and 144Hz monitor(that I keep at 120Hz because of what I can best describe as paranoia). So there's not much I can gain

[worldly garden]

does anyone know what monitor is this

[coral ferry]

The person who took the picture probably does...

[worldly garden]

lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qJRwrH/lenovo-g27q-30-270-2560-x-1440-165-hz-monitor-66e8gcc2us

This one lists a HDR compatability...and the box says "HDR"

looks like a 30 to me

G27q-30

All you had to do was read the box. The model number was on the box

[main narwhal]

seems like lenovo g27-30 series

^ that above lol

[coral ferry]

I disagree(this is a joke)

[worldly garden]

read the box

dude i cannot read that

😭

[coral ferry]

Ironically, if you zoom in too much you cant read it...but at the right size...you can read the numbers

It helps we know it's a g27q

[worldly garden]

yeah man

thanks

[young spoke]

idk might

Are there any monitors that go up to 16 bit? or is 10-bit the best we're gonna get?

[fluid parrot]

I think the highest is 12

But the difference from 8 to 10 is minimal

I am still amazed my 600$ laptop came with a 6 bit display

Is my pc a good deal for 500

[fiery sail]

pretty good unless everythign besided CPU and GPU is cheaped out on

-the PSU and case should have headroom for future upgrades
-the ram should be 32GB and not too slow (3200 MT/s CL16 would be already very good)
-the CPU cooler should not be an amd stock cooler

if at least 2 of those 3 apply you have a very good deal.
if its none of them its still fine, but will cost you a bit to get e.g. a new cooler when u upgrade CPU or have to get a new PSU to fit a better GPU

and if the mnotherboard has PCIE gen 4 thats an extra bonus , especially if case and PSU allow for future upgrades.
the new cards perform basically identical in most games at PCIE gen 4 and 5 (especially when overclocked) but if you ever go to something like a 9070XT or 5080 on PCIE gen 3 it can in some games reduce performance by 15-25% (but again thats just some games, in at least 50% of games it makes 0 difference. but its still neat so you dont need to worry about it

[bitter oar]

i like rounded edges on keycaps

[humble grail]

I found it used a year ago

[young spoke]

feels horrible imo

i feel like ive found my perfect switch

an akko v3 cream blue pro with a 45g spring

actually its a 47g spring

ripped out of a homoo sea salt silent

id call it a akko v3 cream blue light

a lot lighter bump

[fiery sail]

Doesnt answer the question, but this is also the wrong channel.

[brazen violet]

wow this server isnt as much of a shithole like ztt peripheral wise

But there are still some bad takes there and here

No point for me to try and advice here seeing familiar faces (aka people who actually know what theyre doing)

[fervent breach]

@young spoke @worldly garden

[young spoke]

yo

tha looks wild

how many organs you sell for it

[fervent breach]

none actually

[young spoke]

suprise suprise

[young spoke]

dang

[fervent breach]

if i bought them at flipper pricing it’d be like 1100 though

[fervent breach]

-both boards combined

[young spoke]

bro really likes the goofy ahh blue black aesthetic

[young spoke]

wild

[fervent breach]

i am a fan of 10th anniversary colours

[young spoke]

also isn’t that the board you were gonna use the box for the gmk67

“i don’t have an addiction i swear”

[fervent breach]

yeah but i need to remove the ink from it

[young spoke]

nah it’s fine

unless it’s covered if it’s a small spot i really don’t care

i’m also buying a “gamakey rgb keyboard”

those are akko rose red switches

[fervent breach]

can u stop buying budget plz

save up for good keyboard

[young spoke]

bruh

nah jr looks alright

[flat dock]

Then you make me afraid but unsurprised about ztt

🧌

[bitter oar]

i put concrete into a keyboard

[primal walrus]

apple users: favorite wireless mouse/keyboard combo? currently using logitech at the moment

is Magic Mouse worth it?

[umbral crystal]

out of curoisity what do you guys think monitors will be like in the next 3 years

what will be the endgame monitors by then

will resolutions above 4k become more populour ? , will we get 700 800 900+ refresh rates?

will micro led become a thing?

[young spoke]

no

[young spoke]

i use an ak820 pro with a m913

having like 13 extra buttons on your mouse is just plain useful for shit like video or photo editing

you’d have to buy mac based keycaps for the ak820 though

[coral ferry]

Something's wrong with your keyboard. You got scammed. The seller didn't give you a num pad...

[young spoke]

numpads are useless

there i said it

not once have i used a numpad even when i had a numpad on my keyboard

literally over a year of owning a full size board i didn’t the numpad a single time

[fervent breach]

hhkb

[fervent breach]

if i really wanted a numpad i would buy a 23u

unfortunately though

[coral ferry]

23u? How tall is that?

[fervent breach]

what

[coral ferry]

That's about 1u

[fervent breach]

bro is either a bad rage baiter

or knows nothing about keyboards

[coral ferry]

You've never seen a keyboard tray for a rack?

[fervent breach]

assuming ur the latter u for realforce means how many keys it has (and also on every other board how big the keycap is)

the 23u has 23 keys

and a 6u spacebar is 6 units long

[fervent breach]

so 6 regular alpha / letter keys

[fervent breach]

Okay

[coral ferry]

23 keys isn't even all 26 letters. Like a stenograph?

[fervent breach]

the 23u is a numpad

[coral ferry]

So...16 plus...7?

[fervent breach]

yes

[coral ferry]

Cool. Know a good brand?

[fervent breach]

realforce or hhkb

or leopold c line

Must Shill.

[coral ferry]

Shill away. I'll check them out when iget home. I'm getting groceries.

Awww. I just looked up 23u...its not 16 numbers...
Oh well

Needs more appropriate keys, like a ff or 255 key. And a 00 key

[fervent breach]

this is not the 23u

[coral ferry]

Yeah, i just said that

[young spoke]

bro has it all

[fervent breach]

that isn’t mine

Yet.

[young spoke]

“yet”

blud is mr real force

[viral lynx]

Can someone recommend a shop for low profile Keyboards with German Layouts?:)

[young spoke]

if you set system keyboard to german then any ISO keyboard should work

go wild with what ISO board you pic otherwise

you also might want german specific ISO keycaps

i’m not too sure about those though

[viral lynx]

Was meant the Keycaps sorry. My Keyboard that Im using currently had usa Layout and I needed to switch them out since the confusion was a bit too much.

I would like to stay with an customizable Keyboard but Im so used to low Profile because of work that the mechanic keyboard is just too tall

[flat dock]

bro does not do arithmetic

I just keep a cheap wireless membrane numpad on my desk for now

[surreal palm]

just got a nuphy air 60 that i set up to pair with the pulsar anniversary edition x2f mouse whenever that shows up

[eternal wharf]

I got the steelseries earox 3 wireless mouse its an absolute W (if you get the 2022 ed)

[young spoke]

no

i didn’t even know what num lock did for a couple months

[fervent breach]

sorry for your loss

[eager jolt]

anyone here uses monsgeek fun60?

im confused on the driver 😭🙏 im still new to hall effect keyboards

[steel abyss]

[worldly garden]

sexy

[young spoke]

[main narwhal]

MAKE THE PLUNGE

[young spoke]

[main narwhal]

EMBRACE FULL WEEBNESS

[young spoke]

[young spoke]

[fervent breach]

u arent meant to tell them though

[main narwhal]

topre not enough personality

gimme them bke heavies

can you even get those anymore

didn't one of the dome manus go down

[young spoke]

@fervent breach might skip on the gmk67

unless you can assure the £10 price then i already have a board for that

[fervent breach]

if you pay 1 trillion

[fervent breach]

Okay\
