[flat dock]

I didn't put any effort into relearning how to play the game

[fervent breach]

i get it can be kinda daunting but i never really played <1.9

i have like 300 hours only on mc pvp so far

so i am not that good

[flat dock]

I imagine I have maybe 10k hours or more on 1.8 pvp

[fervent breach]

but i would say i am like lt3 sword maybe

[fervent breach]

jesus man

[fervent breach]

@flat dock do u know what i’m talking about here

[flat dock]

No

[fervent breach]

Fuck

basically lt3 means i am pretty good at the game

[fervent breach]

wait i have a clip of me beating a live streamer and he starts screaming

@flat dock https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxlqwZ5tipgP-za-yk4d_AR6eQFhv1Om7g

i played really bad here because i am bad with nerves rn

[flat dock]

I gotta watch later

Can't rn

[fervent breach]

[void geyser]

ngl, I'm not a big fan of topre either, it's too mushy imo

[flat dock]

ain't no way its too mushy of all things

that's one of the small things I do like about the feel

[void geyser]

and for the amount you pay for them they're basically never worth it unless you're going full balls deep into the EC topre life

I hate the feel, both modded and unmodded

I've had my hands on black HHKB Pro 2 2019 I believe? properly lubed up even had a cipulot PC (yes this doesn't affect the feel but it says alot about how much effort has been put into it)

it still felt mushy and just overall not nice

think the plastic case really brings that board down alot

outside of HHKB, finally getting my hands on spydertkl

fucking love thbat thign

just such a nice board

[fervent breach]

hey have u ever used a realforce

or a leopold

or any non stock hhkb that is modded in a significant way

or a pro 1

or like anything except a random pro 2

i mean it’s like me buying a razer board and saying all mx is clicky and bad

[fervent breach]

i think i have seen this one at least 7 times

just under a different name

can’t wait to buy the PenisTKL

cock75

[void geyser]

yes a realforce r3, my opinion still holds, it's just an overpriced membrane board

and also yes, I've literally just mentioned using an hhkb pro 2 2019 that's heavily modded

lubed springs, lubed stabs lubed housing and sliders

HHKB is just extremely shit for the price, for 200$ you can do cheaper and better EC builds

[arctic marlin]

Hi guys, is there a better wireless gaming mouse than a g305 from Logitech? Currently have one and gonna buy it again soon since I broke the right click, max 40€ and from Amazon.de

[void geyser]

Attack shark r6 has been serving me well for 6 months +

it's 8k hz, flawless sensor, and it's wireless

[arctic marlin]

It’s 20€ more but still thanks for the recommendation

[void geyser]

there's also vxe r1 but it's not 8k but decent mouse still

[arctic marlin]

I don’t need 8k hz at all

Idk what it even does

Been using 1k and no issues

[void geyser]

it's better in games, but only if you have more than 180hz +

[arctic marlin]

Yea I have exactly 180

Heard high polling rate may lag your pc tho

[void geyser]

I use a 240, but set mine to 4000 hz

barely any benefit over that anyways

[void geyser]

if you have old PC yes

but if you have a modern one shouldn't be any issues

[arctic marlin]

I have a 3070 + 5 5600

[void geyser]

should be fine tbh

I use a 12900k tho so your mileage may vary :p

[arctic marlin]

Btw are there any headset with good mic and audio or are they mostly the same with the only difference being the mic audio

[void geyser]

most combo headset and mic don't sound great

you're better off getting a dedicated device for both

personally I'm rocking arctic 7+ if I want wireless, and behringer xm8500 for my mic

for speakers I use creative pebble

[arctic marlin]

I currently have a g335 headset and I’ll prob buy it again since I broke off my mic and the cable is dying a bit so audio from the left cuts off

And buying a dedicated mic + 🎧 would be a bit expensive

[void geyser]

not that much imo

you can get a decent kit for like 40-50$ these days

and they last you ages

[arctic marlin]

A decent mic is like 50€, atleast it was like 4 years ago lmao

[void geyser]

I've been using the same audio interface since 2019

[void geyser]

xm8500 goes on sale for like 15 GBP here regularly

for example when bnought another one

[flat dock]

its true

[arctic marlin]

For some reason i need to order atleast 2 lol

So it’s 40€

[void geyser]

weird lol

youj don't have to go for that one

even the amazon basics mic is fine

https://amzn.to/4nsJirn

[arctic marlin]

Also I’m probably moving to a different country soon so it would be easier to transport a headset than a dedicated mic and then headphones

Just thinking of how I’ll get my pc with 2 glass panels to a different country without damaging anything gives me a headache

[void geyser]

if you want a dedicated handset, go for it, but realize that the quality wouldn't be as good as a dedicated setup

[peak latch]

do peripherals include sd card and external storage devices

because im trying to decide which 256gb sd card i should get to store my obs videos

[full plover]

Would look at external SSD rather than SD cards just tend to be more reliable longer term in my experience and about same price just get fastest USB option can find for reasonable price

SD cards I only use for initial capture since is what most cameras support but also tend to randomly die or corrupt data, SSD should have some wear leveling and just in general more reliable especially if not doing tons of writes to it

If need for long term storage look at NAS boxes with a couple drives mirroring the data but is buyer beware on those with making sure the drives can be used outside the enclosure if something fails (don't want to be tied to a hardware raid solution for recovering stuff imo)

[spice dock]

My Cardioid USB Mic is the HyperX SoloCast. I have the white one as I did not want a red light on my mic.

A good mic to have for Academics (Zoom/MS Teams Classes) and Gaming. Get it on Sale. Make sure to update the firmware on it to get 24-bit/96kHz.

I got mine on Amazon, I needed to update the firmware. The Update also change the function of the light from the light ON when it is hardware muted to light OFF when hardware muted.

[spice dock]

It was anxiety inducing transporting with glass side panels so much that my current pc build has no glass panels.
Just the Metal Panels secured by screws on the inside. So If I need to open my pc I would need my Stubby Screwdriver.

[flat dock]

i hate printers so much

just have to say they are the worst peripheral ever

[worldly garden]

My printers works fine

Basic user

[covert flame]

i am going to buy a nice racing wheel finally but i see no reason to upgrade my pedals and shifter. in their infinite wisdom logitech used a proprietary serial like connector. according to my research the pedals are easy its just 3 potentiometers, hook the correct pins to an arduino and off to the races (litteraly?) but the shifter is more complicated. the obvious answer would be a leo bodnar cable. but then a logitech g racing adaptor showed up at a really reasonable openbox deal.

i just need to know does it support all the fancy buttons on the g27 shifter or just the shifter itself like the g29 and newer wheels have.

[void geyser]

wrong that would be any topre board

[fervent breach]

no

[fervent breach]

U said u want to take pictures

[flat dock]

this was wrong, i didnt test it on the same location on my desk pad

hhkb feels very slightly mushier than my lichicx raws build

[fervent breach]

not even coping topre mush isn’t bad

[flat dock]

It's not

[void geyser]

not hard to beat hhkb, shit's like the worst implementation of topre

that and by nature, topre is mushy, you won't be able to ever escape it

it even comes with an "assisting" space bar spring just to ensure it rattles

[fervent breach]

you literally have a 2019 pro 2 😭

my hhkbs can compete with realforce

you’re just coping lol

[fervent breach]

can compete with a modded, lubed realforce btw*

Also they are great eye candy

zoo wee mama look at that beautiful pro 1

[flat dock]

is there a meaning between the mixed keycap coloring

like the light blue and the gray

topre fans and topre haters will collide and annihilate eachother like matter and antimatter

[void geyser]

Cope harder its 2012 pro 2

[flat dock]

i shouldve gotten a white hhkb

but it is what it is

[worldly garden]

that dude literally glued himself in conical

so

🤷

jer1813 when

i heard mtnu is thocky

[fervent breach]

for some reason i find it super hard to touch type on printed black caps

so i added some grey caps to make it easier

[fervent breach]

does not change my point

a 2012 pro 2 could be just as Shit as fuck as a new 2019 pro 2

[void geyser]

Who glued themselves?

[void geyser]

spacebar on them is kinda bad

but they solved it with newer releases apparently

[worldly garden]

Crp

[void geyser]

what about CRP?

[worldly garden]

Good pbt

[void geyser]

they're aight

I personally like EPBT better

[worldly garden]

I have moved from gmk to dcs

For clack buipd

[void geyser]

DCS is a pain in the ass to buy tho

their base kit kinda confusing sometimes

but good caps

much more premium than GMK

[worldly garden]

Xianyu

Buy those OG

[void geyser]

I like pBT fans as well

[worldly garden]

Ori cls 3/60 with dcs alphas and gj mods

My friend said 500 quid

But his build ass

[void geyser]

nah lol it's an old ass board

[worldly garden]

Half plate fr4

[void geyser]

it's not worth 500 at all

[void geyser]

i'm building halfplate fr4 today actually

salvun PCB, fr4 half plate

cherry oranges

[worldly garden]

Really lower the sound tone

This was on ob's

[void geyser]

yeah, I built an arc60 plateless for someone before

[worldly garden]

Bro ob's modding skill made it so close to vb LOL

[void geyser]

what's OB?

[worldly garden]

Old black

[void geyser]

like vints?

don't know what you mean with old blacks

[worldly garden]

Vints is vonts

Old is younger than vints

[void geyser]

who tf calls them OB 😭

[worldly garden]

And hyperglides is ypunger than old

[void geyser]

so retools

vints > retools > HG > mx2a

[worldly garden]

Vints > pretools> retools> old > hb > mx2a

Thats what we followed in this

Community

[void geyser]

shiii

we might be in different communities then

haven't seen anyone call blacks OB

[worldly garden]

We does all the time

Kekw

[void geyser]

also VB aren't even that nice, i'd rather have a mx2a that's diamond polished

[worldly garden]

Cursed

[void geyser]

for the price you'd pay for vints, you might as well heavily mod a dry mx2a

[worldly garden]

Imo you use mx blacks for its scratchiness

[void geyser]

agreed

I have some MX blacks and Nixies

[worldly garden]

If u diamond polish blacks i have 1500 types of hmx right herr

[worldly garden]

Nice

[void geyser]

HMX is over hated ngl

same with akko switches

[worldly garden]

Old akko is terrible

[void geyser]

absolutely new akko is good tho

[worldly garden]

Idk...cilantros are nice

[void geyser]

I've got creamy purple pro

that's nice

their first clicky switch is decent as well

creamy cyan?

[worldly garden]

Idk, not really into meta swotches

Either mx blacks

[void geyser]

I'm tired of mx blacks

[worldly garden]

Or kbcp or real bcp

[void geyser]

I've got 300+ of them of fuckers

[worldly garden]

Wtb ?

MW Sogurt
GMK A
EPBT Spectrum
PBTfans Bank Account
CXA Sugarplum

[worldly garden]

Which color vibe

[void geyser]

I got the iceblue one

Basically anything that isn't mounted

[void geyser]

that's c8 tho>

[worldly garden]

I know, reference

For the color my friend is getting w their spyder

Do dolch man

[void geyser]

but the pink is very different from the c8's pink

[void geyser]

might do darling r1 just to flex

[worldly garden]

Last darling r1 set i know sold for 200-220

[void geyser]

this was a bnib darling

[worldly garden]

Kekw

2022 sold for 1000 usd

[void geyser]

yeah...

it's mental

😭

I always wanted darling

[worldly garden]

Kkb darling

[void geyser]

hell no

I did remove the darling from that

[worldly garden]

Dude get a set of dcs

[void geyser]

I have a friend doing a GB for DCS

[worldly garden]

Dcs nerve?

Isnt those are like 200

[void geyser]

no not that

it's not properly announced yet

but they've already done a GB

but I don't like the colour way

they got the moq so it's like sub 100

[worldly garden]

Might fit

Which set is this th9

[void geyser]

@worldly garden

went with Sogurt

[worldly garden]

so hot

ur mouse looks greasy man

[void geyser]

I have sweaty hands :p

got abit too excited

[worldly garden]

LOL

[void geyser]

time to buy the matching car

[fervent breach]

dude

i need an mx board like this

but ansiso

and maybe a different colour scheme

ansiso wkl tkl

[fervent breach]

maybe buckling spring tho…

[fervent breach]

realforce 87u

bro plays league of legends and his pronouns are white power

actually you don’t deserve a realforce 87u

get a dell membrane

[pseudo bolt]

We are typing very nicely today

[young spoke]

why does it take up like most of your desk though

that just isnt necessary

[crisp patrol]

it's a keyboard

[young spoke]

bit big innit

[worldly garden]

ori cls 3/88

[worldly garden]

necessary or not was it your business

dont u see that keyboard is very cool

[fervent breach]

bro is everywhere

[fervent breach]

u cant comprehend quality

[fervent breach]

if i build an mx board ill make my own pcb

[worldly garden]

sure

[fervent breach]

What do u mean sure

[worldly garden]

so just get a case you like and work out the pcb

[fervent breach]

Yeag

[worldly garden]

thats not pratical or making any sense since makers has handled that for you but go on

[fervent breach]

i would possibly just repurpose a vintage cherry tkl case

[worldly garden]

maybe u wanted fixed 7u iso f13 ?

[fervent breach]

Please name me 1 on sale mx board that is wkl ansiso tkl below 500 usd

[fervent breach]

but im scared of their quality

[worldly garden]

500 is a fine budgte u can find anything

[fervent breach]

i can probably get a random mx tkl and my pcb in it for much less

[worldly garden]

geonworks f1 series might be your best bet

they sold everything but a pcb

if u want a pcb u have to buy their extras

[fervent breach]

i think itd be fun to design a pcb specifically for 1 random old mx board

ooh i could even do alps

[worldly garden]

yes

you could even do topbruh

EC

[fervent breach]

although idk how many alps pcb resources there are

[fervent breach]

nah

i like oem topre

[worldly garden]

im thinking of a fine topre

since now i need to move around

pretty much

dont want to bring an alu board

anyway this is a compatible pcb for the f1

[fervent breach]

buy my pro 1

ill never sell it but yea

[worldly garden]

with iso like you wish

even cem 3 material

weird gimmicks is better than fr4 but oh well

[fervent breach]

No im pretty sure this is just iso

i want ansiso

i hate all iso except for iso enter

[worldly garden]

is both ansi iso dont you see

[fervent breach]

yes but is there an ansiso pcb

without split left shift

normal numkey layers

[worldly garden]

u can just do normal 2.25u

solder a switch there

is just optional solder spot

[fervent breach]

hmm

i still think its fun to design a pcb

so ill do that

[worldly garden]

yea sure man

u have any case u wanted to work on yet

[fervent breach]

no

this is future projecti dea

im poor rn anyway

[worldly garden]

sell those topbruh

reorganize ur inventory

[fervent breach]

no

brop i have like 6 boards

there isnt much inventory to sort

[void geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sigh-homelander-the-boys-exhale-relieved-gif-15406600715060657123

[fervent breach]

bro ansiso is good

idont even have an iso boardl el

[void geyser]

just stop being a coward and get a bae

[worldly garden]

^

[fervent breach]

i like bae ish

i want iso first

[void geyser]

I hate iso, iso is the fucking worst layout

[void geyser]

if you want to iso life with vertical spacebars, you might as well go full fucking bae

[fervent breach]

id like one of these bad boys if i get bae board

[worldly garden]

taihao/wyse boards

[fervent breach]

same but i like iso enter

so ansiso

[worldly garden]

people buy those to harvest switches and caps

[void geyser]

my old work board with bae as god intended

[fervent breach]

i hate vint black boards

[worldly garden]

hangul ayo ?

[pseudo bolt]

Indeed!

[pseudo bolt]

I don't mind any tbh. ANSI, ANSISO, AT, XT, ISO, ABNT2, JIS, I will use them all. My preference is JIS > ABNT2 > ISO > AT > XT > ANSI though, but to be clear I don't hate ANSI.

The quality of the base keyboard itself is more important to me.

[fervent breach]

this is cool but i think id rebind code to space if i could

[void geyser]

nothing can beat plateless / halfplate cherry man

it's so good

I just build a salvun with cherry oranges

Sounds so fucking good it's insane

sounds good feels good

[upper oasis]

Oh man, question for you enthusiasts. If my 1, q, and a keys spontaneously stopped working, changes the switches did nothing, and the rgb lights for those keys are brighter than all the rest of the lights, what would your next step be in troubleshooting?

[void geyser]

see if I can manually trigger either keys by directly simulating the keyboard matrix

ie finding a common ground for each pin for both switch

to the neighbouring switches

[upper oasis]

That’s great, I will try that

[worldly garden]

@young spoke

[fervent breach]

buying a new keyboard

i have never had such an issue with good quality keyboards though so

[upper oasis]

I don’t want to pitch an expensive one if it can be fixed. I will put in the work, I just am trying to figure out what the work is.

[fervent breach]

i mean if your keys are breaking it’s probably not long before the others do

i would not say it’s worth your time

[void geyser]

can you actually stop being a prick?

guy just wants his keyboard sorted and working, no need to be condescending and telling them to spend more

this shit literally can happen with even higher end keyboards and PCBs

[fervent breach]

literally how is that being a prick lol

[fervent breach]

way way way way way less often

and anyway that is pretty true

[void geyser]

no the fuck it doesn't lmao

[fervent breach]

if your keys are breaking it probably isn’t long before the others break

[fervent breach]

idk what expensive boards u are buying

[void geyser]

it happens more on high end because it usually comes unbuilt and untested alot of the time

it's even common to have diodes fall off

[fervent breach]

don’t buy high end kits and get a full board then idk

it isn’t high end if the pcb kills itself

just high price

or maybe the case is nice

[void geyser]

Galatea 87 PCB, Protagonist 60, WS Mammoth 75, TGR Tomo

list goes on further

[fervent breach]

unfortunate

anywho i am not being a prick by giving him advice and i didnt tell him to go out and buy a seneca or something 😭

[worldly garden]

buy a nut65

[fervent breach]

he could literally buy a dell membrane and i think that would be better than having to fix the keyboard 50 times

[fervent breach]

cum65

[void geyser]

you have no idea wtf you're chatting I suggest reconsidering talking before you embarrass yourself further

[fervent breach]

you’re just saying this doe

i hate it when people argue like this lol

I am wrong so i will insult you now

[void geyser]

I'm not insulting you, i'm giving you the chance to not further embarrass yourself

[fervent breach]

i dont feel embarrassed

can u explain how i have embarrassed myself please

[void geyser]

how can I be wrong when I repair PCBs as my side gig lmao, I have built and owned more keyboards than you will ever have or dream of having, I can say with a good authority that higher end PCBs also suffer from faulty PCBs, even more so than normal keyboards as they're not normally tested and QC'd like normal keyboards, you talking about higher end PCBs on prebuilts is laughable at best

[fervent breach]

how can i be wrong is crazy

u are not a divine entity if you have repaired a pcb before by the way

[worldly garden]

i get it man but dont be an elitist

[fervent breach]

anyway i really do not care about the “high end keyboards don’t fail argument”

not what i’m talking about

[void geyser]

I'm not being an elitist, but this guy is literally telling the dude to basically just buy another keyboard lmao and claiming this never happens on higher end

[worldly garden]

yeah i totally agree, not the part" I have built and owned more keyboards than you will ever have or dream of having"

just saying

[fervent breach]

i said i haven’t had an issue with good quality boards so i wouldn’t know how to repair it lol

you’re stupid

[worldly garden]

this guy has history of ragebaiting, better walk away

[fervent breach]

Yep it’s ragebait because they misunderstood me

Class

[void geyser]

maybe abit over driving on my part, but that guy literally frustrates me, he's a literal idiot who claims to know shit and mislead people

[fervent breach]

i know what i claim to know

[worldly garden]

all he know is topre stuff lol

i dont mind at all

[fervent breach]

not true lol

i just like topre stuff so i speak about topre stuff

calling it ragebait because you thought i was saying he needs to buy a seneca or something is wild

[void geyser]

@worldly garden did a half plate today

well last night

[worldly garden]

half plate ftw

[void geyser]

yes yes aifei but still

[worldly garden]

is weird to say this but this foamboard build is pretty fun to me

[void geyser]

i forgot how nice cherry feels on plateless / halfplate

[void geyser]

BRO dw it's not wrong lmao

I do see alot of people hating on foams but IMO they're fine

[worldly garden]

is just too bland

[void geyser]

I don't like mx on alu or alu plate in general either

I know people swear by them but they always remind me of gaming keyboards for some reason

[worldly garden]

so clacky

[void geyser]

I like them on soft muted plates like POM

[worldly garden]

Which is better you think

[void geyser]

is that pink or red?

[worldly garden]

Red

[void geyser]

hmmm

I'm inclined to go with the second one imo

on my red builds I've always went with lighter all the time

except with neko65

[worldly garden]

So red on red ?

[void geyser]

do you have something like Jamon?

that's really nice on red boards

[worldly garden]

I might

Lychee and stuff

[void geyser]

here was my build

[void geyser]

ooo that could be nice actually

[worldly garden]

solid

[fervent breach]

@void geyser what board do you daily drive

[void geyser]

ngl lychee reminds me of darling but latin and text mods

[worldly garden]

thats not gmk right

[worldly garden]

kekw

[void geyser]

no, this was kinda when I had the dumb idea of buying aifei and if I like it I'll buy GMK phase

[worldly garden]

💀

odd comparison my dude

[void geyser]

it changes daily

[young spoke]

what

[void geyser]

this was before I got money from this hobby

these days I try to avoid clones

[worldly garden]

so i finally empathies with you and get a budget board

[void geyser]

only when the set is no longer available maybe

[young spoke]

how much

[fervent breach]

i cant imagine buying 600 budget boards

[worldly garden]

umm for the whole build...

lets say

[young spoke]

yeah

[fervent breach]

i mean idk i buy most boards for the collecting value

[worldly garden]

85 quid

[void geyser]

I buy because I like how it sounds and feels, I don't buy because I'm treating it as an investment

[fervent breach]

Okay

i never said it’s an investment doe

just i like collecting rare things

[void geyser]

if I want an investment I wouldn't mount or open up a darling r1

[young spoke]

took my 65 to work lol

[fervent breach]

Okay

[fervent breach]

flipped spacebar supremacy

[young spoke]

more comfortable

[fervent breach]

yes

[worldly garden]

bro sthu is a hobby

do whatever

[worldly garden]

no offense but ugly knob

[void geyser]

I don't mind what people say, i build with vibes not with money

[fervent breach]

lowkey if i buy an expensive board i do my best to not murder it

[void geyser]

@young spoke stop buying cheap shite, buy cheap good shite instead

[fervent breach]

you’ll never convince him

[void geyser]

go get lucky65, GMK67, weikav record

[fervent breach]

he’s been begging for me to sell him my gmk67

[void geyser]

I get budget is good, but there are some boards that you just can't upgrade

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004981704493.html 40 quid on ali

[fervent breach]

every budget person should become a vintage budget board person

[worldly garden]

buy a nbut65 like i just did

[worldly garden]

goodluck my friend

he is a quantity over quality person

[void geyser]

I mean I have like 30 + boards atp, I get it but man I wanna cut back

[young spoke]

i agree

best knob though

[worldly garden]

but your stuff is good

not like this guy owing 3 ( ? ) shitbox

[young spoke]

my internet so ass i only say this

[void geyser]

I've got like HK gaming Galaxy 75 that is via modded / reflashed for VIA, i think that's pretty neat

[young spoke]

anyway it’s a great knob

[worldly garden]

bro has a hk comission but not a korn

kekw

[young spoke]

it has a pause function instead of mute

[void geyser]

normal G75s aren't via compatible so this one is a budget beast

[fervent breach]

i need to get a massive vintage topre and ibm collection for no reason

[void geyser]

I wanted to buy a KHK for like 600 btw

[fervent breach]

i do actually really want a model b board

[void geyser]

[fervent breach]

or whatever they’re called

i forgot

An ibm board that uses beamspring switches

[worldly garden]

kalam

kalam í like 150, LOL

[void geyser]

I have a copy korn

[void geyser]

I loathe the back weight on it ngl

[worldly garden]

felice lab went into tgr place

[void geyser]

that logo is so ass 😭

I legit just want to paint over it

[worldly garden]

u said u have hate corsa right

if not u have any wtt ?

[void geyser]

wdym hate corsa

[worldly garden]

then maybe i have mistaken it with someone else

matrix 6xv cors

a

[void geyser]

I don't hate corsa, I do thik they got abit over taken by lucky65

[worldly garden]

screw u

😂

[void geyser]

you can't tell i'm wrong tho they literally sound and feel the same

[worldly garden]

no foam corsa

wts/wtt

[void geyser]

tho tbh most ball catch boards sounds the same

[void geyser]

neko65 half plate

[worldly garden]

i want to get rid of it

price dropped

no budge...

[void geyser]

how much u selling it for (in usd)

[fervent breach]

do most mx boards have serial numbers on them

[void geyser]

no not all of them but on higher end boards it can come with auth cards like on KHK and Korn

[worldly garden]

350

obo

[fervent breach]

Norbauer passport

[young spoke]

i’ll buy it for

[void geyser]

yeah that's rough man

[worldly garden]

shit i know

a bit high no ?

[void geyser]

corsa good, but too many budget board similar to it

[worldly garden]

what do u think is the selling point

[young spoke]

“budget” $350

[worldly garden]

go away poor peasants stop whining

[young spoke]

shut up

[void geyser]

I'm not too sure, I mean hell there's a yellow corsa right now that's for sale for 350 GBP

[young spoke]

i have more money then you bro

[void geyser]

and that still hasn't shifted, but then again UK market is cooked

[worldly garden]

*than

[worldly garden]

agreed

[young spoke]

talk to me when you get your bread up

[worldly garden]

im driving a '25 crv is that bread up enough

thats like 13 years younger than ur corsa

[void geyser]

aura farming with a crossover

[worldly garden]

soccer mom car but vtec is vtec

[young spoke]

i’m driving a toyota supra a70 lil bro

[void geyser]

lame

get a crz

[worldly garden]

no you are driving a vauxhall

[young spoke]

says who???

the corsa is my mums

[worldly garden]

flexing your mom car in discord, not so wise buddy ?

[young spoke]

who said i’m flexing a vauxhall corsa

[void geyser]

"I drive a supra a70 lil bro"

[worldly garden]

some uk dude i used to work with bought his some a miata in UK

[young spoke]

idiot

idk what a some is though

[worldly garden]

duh

they will kill me if i buy a sportcar

[void geyser]

or yota CHR

[worldly garden]

would rather buy a toxic korrn LMAO

[void geyser]

CHR is fucking mental

btw

if you've never driven it, it's like instant and handles okay for a crossover

[worldly garden]

why it looks like glowed up gr corolla

but ehh...hev

no thanks

[void geyser]

that's because it is

[worldly garden]

they tried to make me cop hev crv

bought normal ver instead

[void geyser]

HEV on toyotas are the only ones I trust to be honest

they're really good for city traffic

[young spoke]

irrelevant but college fish and chips has really gotten better since the early jamie oliver days

[worldly garden]

i dont like ev

[worldly garden]

pics or it never happened

[young spoke]

does bro not think i can afford a £4000 car

[worldly garden]

no pics

so it never happened

[void geyser]

@worldly garden

guess what I just bought

[worldly garden]

gmk

[void geyser]

BNIB GMK mika

[worldly garden]

kekw

as i said earlier i have moved to dcs

[void geyser]

I can already smell the bent spacebar

HMMMM

Also good luck on selling that corsa, I think it's a good price, but the market is just rough as shit

[worldly garden]

tks man

[warped pine]

What mouse should i get under thirty dollars and if possible can you get a combo with mouse and keyboadx

[void geyser]

@worldly garden

Spectrum is better fit I think

I'm still buying the mika tho

[ornate moat]

Yall got any suggestions for custom keyboards?

blue switches pref

Oh yeah numpad and F Keys are a must. Alongside arrow keys.

Full size no less

[young spoke]

what does “lock” do

i doubt it’s num lock

[young spoke]

what blue switches

there’s many different blue switches

[ornate moat]

idk, itd be my first custom keyboard.

I got a keychron Q6 max rn, but fuck this thing

[young spoke]

what do you not like about it

[ornate moat]

The fact its 200 EUR, has QC issues and the solution is "straighten the plate urself"

Straight from Keychron acknowledging those issues.

[young spoke]

what was the issue though

the plate?

[ornate moat]

From what I understood yeah. Switch plate came with a defect, resulting in the switches losing contact.

Keys can not register or repeatt

[young spoke]

oh

yeah that’s a common issue

[void geyser]

them aula boards are decent

[ornate moat]

Aaand it checks out. Pressing super hard on a key DOES fix that key. for a bit at least.

but shit keeps returning, or moves to a different key.

[young spoke]

is this ragebait

[flat dock]

it's the pragmatist take

[young spoke]

anyway what about layout and switch type

[ornate moat]

i aint seeing a full sized there

[ornate moat]

nvm im mblind

[young spoke]

full sized?

yeah i have no idea about full sized boards nowadays ngl

[void geyser]

qk101 is good as well if you want something more premium

[ornate moat]

Uhh I think I have an ANSI keyboard rn? The enter key is a rectangle. Looks and feels nice

[young spoke]

no like how many keys

[void geyser]

I recently built an athena 1800 but that's abit outside of 200

[ornate moat]

Ohhh

108

[void geyser]

and requires abit of technical knowledge to build

[ornate moat]

I have the 4 extra F keys bound to some misc stuff

[young spoke]

is 104 good?

[ornate moat]

no 108s?

[void geyser]

btw if you're not aware, finding full traditional full size is a pain in the ass to find @ornate moat

[ornate moat]

yeahh ive noticed. everybody and their dog has somme minii keyboard

[void geyser]

besides like q6 or k5 from keychron they're kinda far and few between

[ornate moat]

brb i have to beat the keyboard to fix the keys again

[void geyser]

that's because of qmk and via primarily, when you can rebind keys, it opens up the possibility of foregoing with extra keys

[young spoke]

good luck taking a full size to work lmao

[void geyser]

I personally rock an alice alot of the time

[ornate moat]

Oh I wont be taking it anywhere.

I actually brought the Q6 with me on a trip. I wouldnt use my laptop with an external keyboard

[young spoke]

i haven’t touched a laptop keyboard in 8 years

[ornate moat]

Maybe if I could remove the actual laptop part of the laptop and kept only the display. Otherwise it was just too far

[young spoke]

why use laptop keyboard when you can use a good keyboard

[ornate moat]

(or maybe the solution is a bigger laptop screen. Although 15 inch already pushed it)

[void geyser]

@ornate moat not quite custom but I've been liking filco majestouch 3 and 2 for full size

they're boring but they're really good

[young spoke]

i wanna see someone build a keyboard that has a laptop motherboard in it

[void geyser]

wether it's worth it is up to your eally

[ornate moat]

QK101 aint got no colors but spray coated pink

[void geyser]

that's already done

[ornate moat]

Hmmmmm.. I dont really mind boring

tbf tthe keychron is pretty damn boring too

[void geyser]

i literally just bought one a couple of days ago

it's plastic admitably but not too shabby and is quite high quality as far as platics go

[young spoke]

some shitty scissor board

[ornate moat]

swap out the white and blue caps for black caps and turn off the RGB and you have a similar keeb

[young spoke]

i meant like an actually good keyboard

[ornate moat]

im intrigued by the qk101 tho

imma watch and see if they ever restock

(and if i can get ttone shipped to eastern europe)

[void geyser]

literally already done

there was also zx spectrums

[young spoke]

i’d use this

[ornate moat]

IT HAS A SCREEN?

[void geyser]

but that's stretching what a computer is from a console

[void geyser]

they normally don't, I suggest finding it on ebay or mech market

[young spoke]

pretty common now some reason

every other keyboard i see has a screen ngl

[void geyser]

@ornate moat also look at athena 1800...

[ornate moat]

oh all of it is in stock in lumakeebs

lume

[ornate moat]

the lack of pgup and down (idk what that keygroup is called) might bother me

home and end rather

Am I the only person using these keys? Am I the weird one

The qk101 aint got the standard buttons either..

[flat dock]

huh?

oh what the hell

who did that to the qk101 and why

i always assumed it was just a normal 100%

[void geyser]

nav cluster

@ornate moat https://www.keebzncables.com/products/qwertykeys-qk101-full-size-custom-keyboard-kit-april-2025-extras-1?sca_ref=9525285.HsbCHQf6Li

[ornate moat]

Oh the qk101 has the nav cluster inline with the F keys

wait so what is the Q6 Max considered?

12 fkeys, a print screen key, a microphon mute key, backlight key, 4 more F keys + full nav cluster

Well, I guess the QK101 will work

though I still lose 4 keys

Alright QK101 it is. Cheers :D

[ornate moat]

Potentially stupid question, if you want something changed, you can just order a singular part yeah?

like a different PCB or something

[void geyser]

technically 101%

because of the extra keys

[void geyser]

if you're going to order, you need to make sure that you configure it to your liking

[ornate moat]

Well.... None of it makes much sense to me

[void geyser]

I recommend something like 1.6mm PCB, with plastic plates, they usually go quite well with alot of switches for that config

[ornate moat]

like sure, cushion, no cushion, where the stabs are mounted.. what difference it makes? shrug

[void geyser]

just an important notice, these boards are "enthusiast" boards, they expect you to have the know how to build it

I do not recommend it all to beginners or atleast have someone else build it for you, otherwise it can potentially be a very very very expensive lesson

[ornate moat]

like the per key RGB PCB is flex-cut. The non RGB has a non flex-cut. What difference that makes? shrug

one flexes more ig

only reference I got is this brown switched Q6 Max.. and its feeling kinda.. mushhy

meh

[void geyser]

Flex cut has cuts in them that can be detrimental to the sound of the board, when you bottom out a switch, it produces a sound through the PCB, flex cuts mitigates that as well as create a softer typing experience

I recommend going non flex cut 1.6

[ornate moat]

[void geyser]

that way you have a nice crisp bottom out on your switches

[ornate moat]

i assume the PCB stabs vs plate stabs also change a lot

with the former being softer

[void geyser]

personally I like plate stabs better (just cause they're ez to get right and ez to also fix

where as PCB stabs needs to have everything else taken off before you can get to it

[ornate moat]

I've got time to consider stuff tho I can't spring up 250 eur overnight.

[void geyser]

my advice is to not get this, it's not a prebuilt, keyboard building takes a while to learn and manage

[ornate moat]

Ill actually try straightening the switch plate of the Keychron tonight.

Cause typing on it is miserable rn

[void geyser]

what's actually wrong with it?

i might be able to help

[ornate moat]

QC issue. Defective keyboard, switches come loose and in my case repeat keys. Apply pressure on the key fixes it temporarily.

Keychron acknowledged it apparently, with the fix being applying pressure on the switches to seat them well or dismantling it and straightening a plate yourself

It apparently affects Q max and V max models.

[void geyser]

so it's not seating all the way in because the plate is bent?

[ornate moat]

Supposedly.

[void geyser]

normally these boards they are screwed into the PCB, do you mind checking that?

[ornate moat]

Shits like whack a mole. I fixed T and E, now M and I act up. Fix them, H starts to chatter.

[void geyser]

also i'm not sure if you're open to the idea

but have you thought about numpad + board?

[ornate moat]

Donno could be an option I guess.

Numpad is my go to for cdda and dwarf fortress for controlling stuff.

[void geyser]

it would open up your choices quite alot more

[ornate moat]

Or any number input that's longer than 3 letters.

[void geyser]

also would allow you to put it on the right of your mouse which I've seen people do

like this setup here:

[ornate moat]

Time to go through the misery of dismantling the Keychron

[void geyser]

hahah it's not that bad dw

[ornate moat]

I could actually clean it now too. It's been 6 months.

[void geyser]

good luck and I hope it goes well

[ornate moat]

Fucking entire switch came off with the key.

[void geyser]

what switch are you using btw?

might be worth swapping them around

[ornate moat]

Brown. I tried swapping them and it didn't really fix it for long.

It temporarily resolved itself for a key until it started doing it again

Oh and they're the stock ones that came with the keychron

[ornate moat]

Oh yeah this fucking thing uses hex screws

[flat dock]

look at this nerd not having an ifixit kit with every bit

smh

[ornate moat]

No I have one.

So.. Straightening the plate..

What fucking plate are you supposed to straighten this shit has a flimsy piece of translucent plastic.

The other closest thing to a plate is the fucking pcb

Holy shit.

[flat dock]

uh do they not send you a replacement or something if it's bent?

how bad is this bend

is this the q6 max

[ornate moat]

Q6 max.

The plate is.. Barely a plate.

Fucking cardboard has more structural integrity

That.. Is the switch plate.

[flat dock]

does look like a pretty normal plate to me

it's supposed to have a PC plate

[ornate moat]

Idk the thing bends upon being picked up.

I dunno how it manages to hold anything in place.

[flat dock]

instead, the switches hold the plate in place 🧌

[ornate moat]

Meh cba reassmebling this. Ill just use my membrane keyboard until I can get a new one.

[flat dock]

what keyboard are you gonna get

[ornate moat]

QK101 or something another. Got no money but got time to think.

I can use the backplate of the Q6 Max to straighten out books.

[crisp patrol]

it's a whole lot more rigid when it had switches in it

[ornate moat]

is that why my switches rattled

[worldly garden]

so lit kek

[worldly garden]

This one ?

/j

[warped pine]

Hey

[worldly garden]

yeah

what keyboard you got

[white prairie]

hex80

[worldly garden]

cool

qk is a good brand

[void geyser]

very happy with spyder

it sounds even better with lfss mx blacks

[young spoke]

wireless is NOT happening

but idk look on fb marketplace for a cheap shitty 60%

[void geyser]

i'm a shill but fuh nah

MX blacks stock is unusable

maybe if it's lfss, but you're literally approaching gateron oil king prices or zeal at that point

[worldly garden]

Stock LOL

yeah agreed

Just got that ori

[worldly garden]

60 and 65% gang @young spoke

[void geyser]

I kinda miss my neko65

i cba pulling out of storage tho

[worldly garden]

Was the soundtest good

Thats "old black" btw

😂

[void geyser]

retool or somethign?

sec I'll do a sound test

[worldly garden]

Mx2a on pbt ?

[void geyser]

yeah until my mika arrives or something

I do also have this....

[worldly garden]

Gmk a

Nice

A alphas when

[void geyser]

guh

I don't know which one to get

I do also hate how ABS wears down quickly

[worldly garden]

Dcs

[void geyser]

your set is literally shined down to shit wdym

[bitter oar]

you’re talking to a person that thinks pbt is abs

[worldly garden]

Is 30 years old LOL

Been a while,kvetdinky

Pbt caps these days is a mixture of both pbt and abs

U will ask for source tho so get it yourself

[bitter oar]

the stem and secondary layer can be yes, which you don’t touch

pbt has a different molecular structure than abs

[worldly garden]

Ok nerd

👍

Where is your monsgeek

I want to buy the alice one

[void geyser]

you bought a 30 yearold keycaps why

😭

[worldly garden]

U heard the soundtest

[void geyser]

you can, but normally it's abs inner with PBT outer

[void geyser]

sounds like an okay batch of blacks

[worldly garden]

It is

Hmx smooth

Im not fomo'ing

i bought it bundled

no works needed

[void geyser]

fucking washit

should've bough sonjas

[worldly garden]

u are right

but my friend mounted sobnjja on his kalam kohakorn

muted

💀

[bitter oar]

they also claim you gotta be picky about pbt sets otherwise they’ll be “terrible”
it kinda imples you don’t have to be picky about abs

[worldly garden]

@void geyser this guy said 10$ keycap set is better than gmk

better carry on

[bitter oar]

in durability yes, pbt set will resist shine for longer

[void geyser]

ehh he kinda has a point, I personally don't like MW pbt but love PBT from EPBT or PBTfans, but imo doesn't warrant being picky

[void geyser]

i mean if it's double shot pbt, techinically it is better

[worldly garden]

no resonance

like example old gen crappy xoxo cmk

is muted

[void geyser]

it's all subjective at the end of the day, I personally don't mind what material as long as it's not ABS (atleast for daily boards)

[bitter oar]

that’s more of a preference now than objective

[worldly garden]

thats the fact

[void geyser]

for display boards I'd happily eat that shit up

[worldly garden]

im just saying they wont give out sounds

not is sound bad or whatever

[bitter oar]

pbt is harder than abs and wont as easily for example (on average) get polished and onto your fingers by abrasion

[void geyser]

I'm going to polish an abs set at some point for the haha funny

[worldly garden]

good idea

but try with sa sp

[void geyser]

need to use my SA sets actually

[bitter oar]

dip them into a lube, steer, and sand paper ‘em

[worldly garden]

use this and save any trouble

[young spoke]

i love 65%s

[worldly garden]

u should try nut65

is not 500$ and is a decent chinesium

very stiff mount which i am impressed on a flexcut pcbn + plate

[worldly garden]

@void geyser better angle

[void geyser]

this makes me want to remove my blacks

[worldly garden]

get out HAHA

[bitter oar]

@worldly garden btw from the journalists/youtubers that went to keycap factories i’ve seen, from the two videos i haven’t heard of them using a pbt + abs mixture as they don’t mix well and seperate without gma enhancements which is more expensive to produce than to just deal with the issues of pbt

[worldly garden]

go to keycap factories yourself

[bitter oar]

i’ve not seen any of them use abs + pbt mixture

only layer/shoot keycaps with pbt and abs

[flat dock]

I think he's technically right
Most sets use a mixture of abs and pbt especially on spacebar, because pbt is hard to prevent warping after cooling

It's why there's so many "doubleshot pbt" keycaps that actually wear faster than pure abs like gmk

I believe the mixture is supposed to make it weaker than even pure abs

[worldly garden]

bro source from internet not experience

[flat dock]

Do you have any experience

[worldly garden]

i have bought those keycaps

thats where i made concludes, not hot takes

[flat dock]

Which keycaps, that they were a mixture?

[worldly garden]

some crappy cmk

which descripted as pbt + abs

and 100% pbt etc

[flat dock]

where's it described as pbt+abs

[worldly garden]

in the selling page ?

[flat dock]

send

[bitter oar]

they don’t use a mixture, only layering.

mixing pbt and abs is expensive

you can’t just melt pbt and abs pellets together and shoot them into a mold without putting any other additive/compatibilizers
