[steady hatch]

[delicate python]

i moved a few keys around on my keyboard since it didn’t have volume keys and there were a few i don’t use, does this seem like a good layout for them?

i feel like somethings off about it but i don’t know what and i think it might just be because i’m more used to the older layout

also i'm gonna use powertoys to remap them in software

[misty crypt]

i mean, whatever works for you

changing keys is just a personal preference thing

[potent void]

Usually the volume keys are the in the reverse order but like Soda said, whatever works for you. That is usually the spot volume keys go anyways

[delicate python]

that might be what i thought was off

[misty crypt]

was thinking about which keys i'd want to have in my GMMK Pro build and i think i'll wind up with what they show on their site, just with a delete key instead of an insert key

was finally able to complete my order for one a week ago

and now i'm hoping it arrives before wednesday because a newly-debuted vtuber i'm subbed to is gonna be having a keyboard review then

[delicate python]

ok i changed it up a bit and i’m thinking of also replacing the end key since i don’t use that either but for now this is what it is

im probably gonna make the end key a dedicated FL studio button or something since I use FL a lot for music

[potent void]

i dont know anyone who uses the end button so go ahead

[ashen oriole]

alota games use it xD

[tall karma]

I do! to get to the end of a line if i edit the middle of a sentence or something

[potent void]

i know one person who does*

[verbal canopy]

i use home and end all the time

[potent void]

i know two person who do*

[timid panther]

what is truly the fastest keyboard

apex pro ? huntsman mini?

[boreal rivet]

a laptop keyboard

[chrome raft]

Yui yui

[potent void]

welp rip that person i guess

[violet geyser]

Wdym by fastest?

[boreal rivet]

sorry i made a mistake

the fastest keyboard is a apple butterfly keyboard

[delicate python]

sorry im two hours late but you can always just press the down arrow as long as it's only one line of text

[chrome raft]

hey guys

can u take spacebaroff on msi vigor gk20

[delicate python]

you should be able to

[chrome raft]

o

[delicate python]

there isn't a reason i know that you wouldn't be able to unless it's glued down by someone

[chrome raft]

its membrane

[delicate python]

you should still be able to take it out

[chrome raft]

some cheap ones cant

[delicate python]

maybe not off but out

[chrome raft]

ok

[delicate python]

that would require full disassembly of it though

[chrome raft]

it has some sbrings tho

[delicate python]

one sec

[chrome raft]

cheap one had something else

[delicate python]

you mean like a wire stabilizer?

the long bars

[chrome raft]

yes

[delicate python]

those are removeable, they're just hell to put back on sometimes

[chrome raft]

lol

it just has 2springs

oh ithas the bar too

idk howto but it back so imma live with broken spacebar

idk what broke it tho

it doesnt move so smoothly anymore

[worldly shale]

does anyone know if there are any electrocapacitive keyboards out there that aren't just from topre i am not paying 350$ for a realforce

[boreal rivet]

buy a used one off mm or buyee

or buy a niz

[chrome raft]

i was gameing and

fuze tea went on mykeyboard

a lotofit

ffs the spacebar isthe best

[steady hatch]

I cant make my mind up idk which switches i should get

Boba gum silent linear 62g or durock linear

Or any other suggestions

[silver fable]

my keyboard until nightsakura keycaps arrive

gateron reds lubed with gpl106

right shift key will be fixed when new keys arrive :D

[worldly shale]

nice! i love the spacebar

how are gat reds lubed? only ever see love for gat yellows

[steady hatch]

Is silicon modding better than neoprene?

Or is it all preference ?

[heavy maple]

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows a good 3d printing shop in India

if you do, @ me or maybe dm?

I want to make an ergo split keyboard and I want to 3d print the case

the cheaper the better

[little otter]

We Indian's are cursed to be in the custom keeb hobby ... Import duties and shipping charges make me cry 😭 I remember getting some Krytox from Singapore or Malaysia and the duties alone cost 3k INR. Smh

[loud narwhal]

Does anybody know a good 100% keyboard with switches like cherry red/brown for under 80$?

[little otter]

You can try r/mechmarket to see if you can get deals but to get a fully pre-built board I'd say 100$ is the minimum. Check out Drop. They have some cheap ones.

[boreal rivet]

hardwareswap is better for prebuilts

[loud narwhal]

You are telling me there's nothing for 80$ that works fine?

[little otter]

As far as I know, yes. You're free to check the mechmarket subreddit and hardwareswap mentioned above to see if you can get a deal tho. You might get lucky with discounts.

Although it will most likely be offset by shipping.

Wait ... if you're talking about regular ass keyboards then sure you can get them for a lot cheaper than 80. But pre-built keebs made for the custom keeb market are at least 100+

[loud narwhal]

Yea, i was talking about regular keyboards, idrc about all the custom stuff...
I liked the keychron k4 but its sold out literally everywhere

[little otter]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-entr-mechanical-keyboard

This is a great one for just 10 usd more. I dont know much about regular keyboards sadly

[loud narwhal]

Looks fine to me, ill think about getting this, thanks for the advice

[little otter]

Its a great beginner friendly choice. Make sure to choose the switches wisely lest you end up hating them on arrival 🙂

[heavy maple]

if I were to import the case which costs about 30usd I'd have to pay 40-50 just for the shipping alone

that's why I'm trying to 3d print the case and going for a hardwire dactyle 4x6

https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3e11dfd554e24f822c7a1ee0e0d192d5e2f6c36693475afe56306ab3d56560d1/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4c646a456872522e6a7067

something like this but one more column

[heavy maple]

depends on where you are

[loud narwhal]

italy

[heavy maple]

hmm

then i think the drop enter is the best one right now

but it is a tkl

so you want the numpad that much?

Also what kind of switches do you want? if you don't really know maybe start by looking for what purpose you're looking for a keayboard?

[unkempt dome]

Yeah it's really hard to choose there ... never tried any of those and I'm also debating which one I should get in their tactile switches ... most likely will go for boba ...

Also if you have a hot swappable board you can just buy the other set in the future and swap it in to try it out then sell the one you don't like

[steady hatch]

i got a k8 keychron going to mod it but i want some nice switches for it

the k4 an k6 were unavailable so i just got that one

[unkempt dome]

Sadly when you are in the part of pinpointing the last details it's often try and feel yourself ...

Cause I guess those 2 switches you're thinking about are more or less the same ...

With really small differences between them

[steady hatch]

i like the feel of mx reds

i want some smooth ones that are good for gaming and typing essays

[unkempt dome]

But mx red aren't silent tho

[steady hatch]

ik

[unkempt dome]

Well from what I got yesterday from the chat we had for my tactile choice, boba would be smoother than durock out of the box

You can always lube them eventually tho ...

But it's a tedious job

[steady hatch]

i dont mind

the only part is that i need 87 swtiches and they only sell 108

or 70

ill defo buy them but first i need to get the keeb

[unkempt dome]

I always buy for about 110 switches ... in case I ever want to populate a bigger board or have spares or make a custom macro pad or something like that

[steady hatch]

i cant find anyone in the uk selling these switches

[steady hatch]

https://mechboards.co.uk/product-category/switches/

found this

[tall karma]

Splitkb has them in packs of 10, i haven't checked stock for a while tho

[steady hatch]

they got them thanks

[tall karma]

Yup

[steady hatch]

out of stock amazing

i can only find cherry

[little otter]

https://candykeys.com/category:switches/brand:jwk-durock

[steady hatch]

are pandas any good?

these not pandas

[unkempt dome]

I have no idea how the kailh pro lineup is ... never had them and I kinda never heard anything about them ...

[steady hatch]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001985634467.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.1.65535183PLhR6R

i found these on aliexpress

[unkempt dome]

you can look for gateron silent switches too ... heard they are good ...

[steady hatch]

im getting reds by default but i want something nicer

[unkempt dome]

gateron silent red maybe

[steady hatch]

should i just order from aliexpress ?

[unkempt dome]

I will be ordering from ali express

[steady hatch]

btw do i need the rgb edition

or which one for the k8 keychron

[unkempt dome]

any will fit in ... the rgb edition will let the light of the led pass through ... the non rgb edition will most likely block the light ... so if your keychron have rgb I would buy the rgb edition switches ...

[steady hatch]

oh ok thanks for the help

[unkempt dome]

hope I'm not wrong on that one tho ... 😉

maybe others will be able to confirm

[unkempt dome]

if you look at the picture there's one with clear to housing and one with pink to housing ... the clear one is most likely the rgb version ...

[heavy maple]

does anyone know where I can find a good TRRS jack?

the 3.5mm Jack

need it for the split keyboard

[steady hatch]

oh btw if anyone is going to buy the k4 or k6 it will restock on the 20th or by the end of may thats what they said

thanks ill check that out

do you know if keychron is the only brand doing mac and pc support ?

btw would you personally buy a keychron keeb ?

[little otter]

All custom keebs support both platforms right?

[steady hatch]

im getting the k6 or k4 which ever comes available first

they support all but they dont have the right keys for it sometimes or the layout

[little otter]

I have a corsair keyboard which does not advertise mac support but I can still use it. Sure I dont have the mac keyset but you get used to it

^ Exactly

[steady hatch]

i only found some on aliexpress

oh yeah i used that for the aliexpress link

[unkempt dome]

I already have the gmmk tkl and the kemove snowfox so I'm mostly covered for tkl and 60% layout ... maybe one of their other layout yes I would probably get one

[steady hatch]

do you think keychron keebs are worth it ?

what keyboard do you have now ?

oh

[silver fable]

lubing linear switches is already kind of a joke lol

it's just that by default keychron doesn't do a wonderful job of lubing them (if at all)

basically pop the switch and put it in the spring and the sides of the switch

if that's what you were asking

it's up to you though, i just wanted to reduce the horrible sound that it makes stock

just like you said about yellows.... i might replace them with lubed/filmed ones xd

[steady hatch]

what do you think of this one ?

is there something better for the price ?

[unkempt dome]

I would go gateron switches if you buy the durgod

Also a review of the keychron k8

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RL7tL6jHn_s

[crude echo]

Is it worth going from gateron blue to kailh box whites?

[little otter]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/72rivh/kailh_box_white_vs_gateron_bluegreen/

Something to help you make a decision.

[crude echo]

Thanks!

[versed cloak]

Question: Do you perfer ergonomics or looks?

[little otter]

Its 50/50. A board has to feel good in my hands but if it looks like shit, I'll pass. If a board looks fricking amazing but feels like shit, I'll pass again.

[verbal canopy]

I just do both normally

[fathom walrus]

hi I need help with mechanical keyboard this is my first one so which is good Browns or Blues for gaming

[boreal rivet]

preference

[rigid falcon]

are blue switches good for typing

[boreal rivet]

preference

[rigid falcon]

ok

[heavy maple]

I would suggest you look up on your own you'll have to decide on the switches on your own
But just a suggestion to go to cherry's website and see how each switch work, then you might understand which one to use

[final bronze]

kailh whites are pretty good, but if you want the ultimate clicky switch go for kailh jade

none

all keyboards will gather dust dirt skin hairs etc under the keycaps

[raw turret]

ck530 v2 has what youre talking abuot

But yeah all keyboard will gather shit whether you like it or not

[pallid trout]

You mean a low-profile keyboard? It may be a little easier to clean but as everyone has mentioned, you will inevitably have to wipe off or vacuum up all the dirt and hair and all that regardless.

[worldly shale]

no such thing as gaming switches, just choose whatever feels most appealing

[austere jacinth]

is it worth to go for Hyperx alloy origins red , it will have hyperx's own red switches ?

give your opinions please

i heard those red switches are similar to gateron red

[worldly shale]

hyperx has good boards but if you're just going for the switches you're probably better off with a cheaper board without all the gaming marketing attached

[austere jacinth]

the thing is availability is limited in India

that board with red switches is costing me 135 USD in India

[worldly shale]

no chinese retailers?

[ashen oriole]

nope

[worldly shale]

or any cheapo keyboard retailers in general

[ashen oriole]

if we want mech, not cheap

thats the issue

[austere jacinth]

NGL , there is

[ashen oriole]

usually gaming brands are the cheapest for mech boards

never anything hotswap

[austere jacinth]

but i used all those chinsese ones

pretty good at their price

they have Kalih blue or kalih grey

[worldly shale]

i find them to be more overpriced most of the time but if they're what's available what hyperx offers are good

if you can find keychron or gamakay boards, those are also pretty good

[austere jacinth]

same here , but as my last chinese one is broken i have to look for something new

[austere jacinth]

not available here

[ashen oriole]

save up for a gmmk on mkeys

they got good boards

[austere jacinth]

i was going for Logitech g512 , it has the same kalih brown , so meh

[worldly shale]

love the looks of logitech boards tbh

expensive here though 🏃

kailh browns just not worth it

[austere jacinth]

thinking of going for GK64 or GK61 , they seems to be worth it

6399 for gateron blue

[ashen oriole]

i wanted a numpad and could only find the gmmk pre built

big oof

[austere jacinth]

i dont really need a numpad , or i can get a separate numpad for like 10 USD later

[worldly shale]

good board

[austere jacinth]

Now the question is how long will it take to deliver in India

[worldly shale]

gk64 with stabs+ foam modded is good

are you buying from china?

[austere jacinth]

https://www.meckeys.com

this website

have to check their privacy policy

BRB

[worldly shale]

usually over here they take a week or so

[austere jacinth]

if its same here , then its ok

i contacted their support , waiting for their reply

[ashen oriole]

its an indian site

should be a week or so

[austere jacinth]

lets hope its not a scammer site then

[ashen oriole]

lmao

[austere jacinth]

[austere jacinth]

"KAHIL"

"bule"

[ashen oriole]

bruh

i cant even

[austere jacinth]

no , that keyboard has kalih blue switches

that indian guy says "Kahil bule switches"

not even kailh box switches , jeez

we indians really have a way with English

[stuck raven]

just dont get optical switces

[boreal rivet]

there is nothing wrong with opticals

[stuck raven]

no

wrong

you cant upgrade

[austere jacinth]

that keyboard doesnt have optical switch support

[stuck raven]

gk61 is opticals, gk61x has actual keys

i got the gk61x pcb kit

[boreal rivet]

for most people the gat optical prebuilts are more than they will ever need

[stuck raven]

then i just got keycaps and gateron blacks

and just lubed them

[austere jacinth]

i see

[boreal rivet]

not to mention theyre very good switches anyway

[austere jacinth]

i am getting gateron blue

[stuck raven]

blues are way too loud

[austere jacinth]

which should make enough sound to annoy my neighbours

[stuck raven]

i had blues and they were hard to use

[austere jacinth]

best choice for me then

[stuck raven]

now that i have lubed blacks

[boreal rivet]

itll annoy your family at best

[stuck raven]

its hard to change back to really any keyboards

[boreal rivet]

box clickies if you want as loud as possible

[austere jacinth]

i was using kalih blue

[stuck raven]

i heard yellows are also good

[austere jacinth]

really ?

[stuck raven]

linear with a good spring weight

[austere jacinth]

should i then ?

[stuck raven]

smooth

well it really comes down to preference

[austere jacinth]

should i ?

[stuck raven]

what are all the options

i cant tell what colours the middle 2 are

[austere jacinth]

i just want sound and as i use it very rough so it should have a good spring

[austere jacinth]

red and brown

[stuck raven]

oh you want the sound

blues have that signature clicky clacky sound

listen to sound tests on youtube

[austere jacinth]

thats all i want

[stuck raven]

lmao then go for it

just dont lube blues

thats a no no

[austere jacinth]

i do not

i dont lube anywhere

[stuck raven]

the gk61 and gk64 stabs are trash

maybe lube that if you want a slightly better sound

or just get cherry plate mounted stabs

and use those instead

[austere jacinth]

i just want anything good under 9000 Indian ruppees

[stuck raven]

yelllow good

noice colour

very bright

[austere jacinth]

[stuck raven]

very yummy indeed

i wanna film mine but i have no money lol

idk i just use krytox 205g0

lmao parents say no

also shipping to canada is like 30 bucks

i got an entire kit of lube a switch opener, tweezers, 2 paint brushes, switch station, stem holder for 30 bucks

which is the same price as the exact same amount of lube

from the actual website

i do the uwu

furry

furry go uwu

are you a furry

[tiny tendon]

taran keyboard

[austere jacinth]

can i get the pringles ?

[eternal wraith]

how do mx clear rgbs sound in comparison to standard mx clears?

[pallid trout]

Most likely the exact same.

The only difference is the top housing.

[eternal wraith]

yeah but there's still a difference right? unless the material is the same

even a minor difference

[pallid trout]

I wouldn't see why it won't be, but I can't really find anything.

For someone as relatively large as Cherry I'd expect them to be cost-efficient. Which means using the same materials.

[worldly shale]

cherry doesn't have much variation in their switches, they're probably going to sound the same

[eternal wraith]

prolly.

[worldly shale]

you could get a tester and compare the two but probably not worth it

still pissed at cherry for making a perfectly fine tactile switch and making it heavy as hell

[eternal wraith]

speaking of which, would it even be viable to replace the stock springs with some from nk creams

or would any lighter spring work

[worldly shale]

lighter springs work better yes

[eternal wraith]

since im planning to get some for a gmmk pro build.

not that you care

[worldly shale]

sounds fun, wish gmmk pros weren't do expensive here

you can usually just pick out any lighter spring from cherries and use them to make ergo clears

although at that point i would be lazy and just buy akko blues, hate opening up switches with a passion

[eternal wraith]

never heard of those lmao

i am a fuckin switch noob

but aite

[worldly shale]

akko switches are pretty new

[eternal wraith]

well, ok

spring swappin for a gmmk pro build

ye

not really!

i'm gonna use nk cream springs!

lmoa

3204? and 105 for springs maybe

then again ive never tried 3204

nah ive already got gpl 105

and budget isnt a massive concern

yeah

tf is that lol

oki

huh, interesting

well tysm rubbishly

ill def save that for future reference

oh the gazzew is here? pog

aite

[pallid trout]

RK84? You can take off the high-profile frame so you can have a low-profile keyboard.

[slim wave]

Have y’all seen the

Womier k66

Best looking rgb

[pallid trout]

laughs in Cyberboard

[pallid trout]

cackles in Cyberboard Xmas Special

[austere jacinth]

Hey hey

cherry MX blue or gateron blue mechanical ?

[pallid trout]

lmao

[austere jacinth]

[pallid trout]

You know how it is.

It's all about

[austere jacinth]

i am asking about your opinions

my options

[slim wave]

Should I buy pudding keycaps for it?

[slim wave]

God damn

Now I want that

[pallid trout]

GK64 because it's hotswappable.

[austere jacinth]

i have the same choice , i was asking about the switches

rubbbishly told no to cherry mx , so GK64 is final

Gk64 doesnt have a software , does it ?

[chrome raft]

A screen on a keeb? I need it

[austere jacinth]

Btw why are u against optical?

I never used an optical one btw

[shy schooner]

Anyone has a suggestion on 60% keyboards?

[austere jacinth]

@shy schooner i am going for this one , u may check it out too

wdym can't upgrade ?

it is hot swappabled , we can lube and o-ring it

[shy schooner]

I see

[austere jacinth]

ah i see , good point

[boreal rivet]

what are you going to upgrade to anyway?

why upgrade if you'll be happy with it

are you prepared to spend atleast a 150 for a aluminum case if you want to "upgrade"?

[austere jacinth]

i dont think i will use it for long term anyway as i am a psycho but will go with mechanical anyway cause opticals are out of stock

[austere jacinth]

why need aluminium case at first place ?

opticals were cheaper at my case

[boreal rivet]

because metal = quality to most people

[austere jacinth]

[boreal rivet]

you buy opticals for how smooth they are

and in his case they are also cheaper

.

[austere jacinth]

am gonna buy a board with blue switches and a pack of gateron yellow mechanical just to get the fell

[boreal rivet]

if you aren't going to use it for long then why are you buying gat yellows?

will you buy a custom case?

[austere jacinth]

i literally smash my keyboard during playing games

and do the worst during my work as i work for customer support
so i think something not so smooth is better for me

[austere jacinth]

nope , i am getting those as i have never used yellows

[boreal rivet]

you need to go see a therapist if you regularly destroy keyboards because of your temper.

[unkempt dome]

Yellow are quite smooth but the spring is way too light for me ...

[austere jacinth]

its a lot lot expensive

[austere jacinth]

just what my lead says

[unkempt dome]

Indeed

[austere jacinth]

its madafaka India , lemme show u

Nvm , its not even available now

a pack of 10 yellow gaterons are 4$

[boreal rivet]

india does have very high markup on electronics

[ashen oriole]

it isssssssssssss what it isssssssssss

[boreal rivet]

uh huh

[austere jacinth]

trust me , its a bad place to be a enthusiast

[ashen oriole]

im in mumbai too lol

no point complaining

[austere jacinth]

how's weather ?

[ashen oriole]

bad

[austere jacinth]

ikr

but the thing is i still didnt get a solid point against optical

i would have gone for optical if it was available

[grizzled ruin]

Hey Guys i would like a good recommendation for a good value rgb mecanical Keyboard which i would put infront of a Laptop

use it stock

[grizzled ruin]

I would like a qwertz german layout

and my max ist short above 100 dololas

I dont need a numblock but i also dont mind if it is there but i would prefer without

[boreal rivet]

he means layout

as in size

[grizzled ruin]

Oh i guess an 80 percent keyboard

[boreal rivet]

tkl? fullsize?

tkl then

[grizzled ruin]

i dont mind if it has red or brown switches

i just dont like blues

[chrome raft]

But, but, clickety clackety?

[grizzled ruin]

ok Iam gonna lock at the keychron k8

[potent void]

i use blues but i dont like them

[boreal rivet]

keychron does not offer qwertz i would assume

[potent void]

they only offer gateron switches

[boreal rivet]

unless he wouldnt mind just regular qwerty

[potent void]

oh wait you mean a layout

[boreal rivet]

qwertz as in keymap lol

[potent void]

sorry lol

[chrome raft]

oh id didnt know this was a thing

wondering if the Logitech g910 is wroth 100$ or if i should just spend the money on a new keyboard and mouse

[potent void]

im not a big fan of their keyboards so they're okay at best

[chrome raft]

Qwertz is regular. Imagine having a small enter key

[boreal rivet]

uh ok

[potent void]

(dont mind them they do this a lot)

[boreal rivet]

and did i make fun of iso enter?

[chrome raft]

id like a good mechanical keyboard with some dials/buttons for volume and some nice RGB

[valid cypress]

Built a KBD MAJA this weekend.

[boreal rivet]

I've used both iso and ansi, I don't care for one over the other.

[potent void]

this?

[chrome raft]

...yes but with keyboards

[potent void]

that is a keyboard

without the key

[chrome raft]

with the keys

[boreal rivet]

you just need to pay more for switches and keycaps 🙂

[potent void]

yes

[chrome raft]

im not doing that i just want one right out of the box

[potent void]

what about a steel series keyboard?

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81yOuAUQAiL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

its got the wheel and a screen

[chrome raft]

oh pretty

is it mechanical? i like the clicking

[potent void]

my brother has this, i dont like the blues but it has red and browns

blues are too clacky

[chrome raft]

long as it has purple

[potent void]

it has everything

[chrome raft]

ok i mean i want to change it all to purple XD

[potent void]

https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-pro

you can get a cheaper one without the numpad if you want

https://steelseries.com/gaming-keyboards/apex-7-tkl?switch=red

red switch variant in TKL

i believe this is the exact keyboard my brother has

[boreal rivet]

wow font looks nice actually

[chrome raft]

If you want clicky, mx blue if you want cherry mx switches

[potent void]

its a pretty nice keyboard ive got to say, and the screen is fun to play with

id personally go for reds

they're my favorite cherry switch ive used

i almost like blues

[boreal rivet]

you should try the enthusiast switches, you'll hate gaming companies and cherry for ripping you off lol

[potent void]

id be happy to try other switches at some point

[chrome raft]

it all depends on the price lol
any mouse?
im looking at the 502 wireless

[boreal rivet]

i'd advise against going too deep unless you don't interact with the community

not worth the waste of time and braincells

[potent void]

i can recommend the g703

[chrome raft]

whats that?

[potent void]

a mouse

[boreal rivet]

g900s go for dummy cheap nowadays

used anyway

[potent void]

im trying to be a mouse, but im dummy cheap, and the click of my left button keeps alerting the buyers

[chrome raft]

can it wirelessly recharge? like i want to get that charging pad

[potent void]

nah

[boreal rivet]

yes those come with the module if im not wrong

[potent void]

oh wait those

then maybe

it lasts a long time tho if you turn the rgb off

lasts like 50 hours

[boreal rivet]

oh g900 doesnt have powerplay

the g903 refresh does

[chrome raft]

yeah but i want the hero 502 because it can charge wirelessly and the batterly life

[boreal rivet]

so can the g903.

your choice

[potent void]

then sure go ahead, but you're going to need the special pad probably

[boreal rivet]

the mousepad yea

[chrome raft]

yeah thats what im planning on getting

[potent void]

thats an extra $120. its cool but it seems easier to just plug it in at night or something

[chrome raft]

nooo

@chrome raft
I you like the feling of knowing you pressed the key: Mx Blue.
If you got a wife: Mx red.

[boreal rivet]

irrelevant all unsilenced mx style switches are loud.

its just which is louder than the other.

[potent void]

they're all loud

browns might be the quietest

however this also does depend on your keyboard too

[chrome raft]

I got the Corsair Gaming Strafe RGB MX SILENT & I absolut hate typing on it

[boreal rivet]

if they don't have silencing, they will all be about the same loudness

with the exception of the shit jacket of course

[chrome raft]

"Cherry MX Silent RGB" switches.

[thorny chasm]

⌨️

[chrome raft]

Indeed. My Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid(MX Blue) still works perfect tho. Model known for LED's not wanting to live.

[valid cypress]

Jades are def. my favorite clicky switch.

[chrome raft]

Box jade keyboard for 60$?

[eternal wraith]

is there really not much you can do to mod or tune a kaihua box switch?

thought it was difficult to film jades or boxes in general

where can i find films then

[vernal sable]

damm nice

box jades

[valid cypress]

I used to use them in everything lol

[unkempt dome]

I'm a fan of box white for the softer click but still sharp

[unkempt dome]

Beautiful

[vernal sable]

ever you guys try blue velvets

i wanna get one

[chrome raft]

got so much cash that I could buy u

[valid cypress]

Thanks!

[distant mirage]

Finished up my Romeo keyboard today

Yellow paint didn't turn out how I wanted it. It was supposed to be fluorescent yellow. Dried more canary yellow.. I'll probably respray it with some fluorescent green.

[vernal sable]

damm

hmm

so smooth wise is like gat yellows

but sound deeper than inks

[austere jacinth]

why these keycaps are so expensive ?

lol , and i dont even know it will be compatitable with gk64 or not as gk 64 has a lot smaller keycaps

[ashen oriole]

if its a cherry style switch it should fit

unless specified

[austere jacinth]

its 65% keyboard , cant be sure

wait lemme show u the point

[ashen oriole]

that usually means theres less switches, not smaller

[ashen oriole]

those are normal

size

[austere jacinth]

look it has smaller keycaps to fit that dedicated arrow keys

[ashen oriole]

nope

looks normal

check the manufacturer site

for more info

[mint vector]

It's all standard sizing

[austere jacinth]

well , then i will try switching some caps from my redgear chameleon

[agile scaffold]

Outemu reds vs other colors of outemu? Which are better?

[verbal canopy]

Romeo very lit

I'm more of a minivan fan though

My vanagon

[worldly shale]

depends on preference

[agile scaffold]

If were talking about light switches

[worldly shale]

outemu reds are good, just as long as you lube them they're alright

but if you're looking at outemu-type switches you should try looking into akko switches

[zealous frigate]

I like the butterfly keyboard on macbooks, am I okay?

[worldly shale]

yes those boards are really nice membranes

[zealous frigate]

I like the less travel of the same, but then they break so eaaasy.
It has been one year with this 2019 macbook air, and I have had to get it replace once, and now need to replace it again

[worldly shale]

honestly kind of tired of gaming laptops being all about implementing terrible j mechanical switches in their board instead of just okay butterfly switches lol

[worldly shale]

yikes

[agile scaffold]

I found a k552 redragon with red switches and looking forward to buy it

Any lubes will do right?

[worldly shale]

wdym any lubes?

as long as they don't eat at the plastic you're probably good

[spiral solstice]

ANYONE best keyboard under 150$

[ashen oriole]

2 dollar wireless keyboard straight from china

what the fuck is this channel

[ashen oriole]

lmaoooo

yeah its just memen around

but you gotta be a lil more specific

there is no 'best'

its all preference

thats why there are so many options

[fair pivot]

Anyone know a good 75% thats hotswap?

[pallid trout]

RK84

[swift relic]

There's some keycaps I was looking at that say "for use with cherry mx style switches". Buying a new mechanical keyboard that'll have Kailh box red switches. Dunno if they'd still work lol

[fair pivot]

Looks good but has a lot of rgb

But thats fine

[pallid trout]

You can turn it off.

[fair pivot]

I can change that in the software

[pallid trout]

Or set it to one colour.

[valid cypress]

Typically they just mean MX stems. You'll be fine. Unless you're not.

[fair pivot]

Thank, i'll look into that when i get home

[pallid trout]

You can change it right on the keyboard too.

[fair pivot]

Oh noice

60$ looks like a good deal, plus ima switch the switches for nk creams lubed

[swift relic]

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know then, I appreciate it

[ionic briar]

whats your budget?

[fair pivot]

Pretty decent, hoghest i could would probs be 100

Bc im gonna buy nk creams and lube them

[ionic briar]

just for the board?
or thats including the creams and the lube

[fair pivot]

The board alone

I have enough to cover creams and lube after that

[ionic briar]

also
strongly not recommend the creams
have to break em in before lubing cause its a scratchy af switch
so much so that even after lubing the scratch residue is still there

[fair pivot]

So what should i go for instead?

Silent alpaca?

I want semi quiet switches

[ionic briar]

https://youtu.be/yWQdeph9zc8?t=11
not this silent?

[fair pivot]

That would work fine tbh

Nvm

Its silent but its too silent ig

Like a little louder @@ionic briar

[ionic briar]

https://youtu.be/_xSUvGUSomM?t=657
this loud?

[fair pivot]

Mix both of those keyboards and then thats the one im trying to find

[ionic briar]

https://youtu.be/h9QlGRQpFdI?t=476

this?

[fair pivot]

@ionic briar im just gonna go with nk creams, its fine if u gotta use them a bit for them to be able to be lubed

Uhh let me check

Nah@ionic briar

[fair pivot]

@ionic briar ima just do this, tahnks for trying to help tho

[ionic briar]

cause nk creams will be even louder than the ink black example that i gave
yea, just break them in before lubing

[fair pivot]

Wont it be more silent when broken in and lubed tho? @ionic briar

[ionic briar]

nope
https://youtu.be/dNfMjnYw5qk?t=233

as demonstrated in this video
nk creams is still really loud
even after lubed and filmed

[fair pivot]

Oh

Ok then well im trying to find smth more silent then black incs then. But im in class

I'll find one soon, oh btw its linear im looking for

@ionic briar ty for trying to help

[chrome raft]

[fair pivot]

I'll look, ty

[chrome raft]

can I swap the switches in the keeb from kailh to cherry mx?

[ionic briar]

yes
not recommended as objectively cherry mx performs much worse than kailh speed
if you want some clicky switches, i recommend the kailh box clicky series
linear, depending on the budget, my safe bet is gateron yellow
and for tactiles, try get some durock t1 if you can

[chrome raft]

ok, thanks!

[boreal rivet]

its not these days

theyve always been bad

they can be good but theyre raking in so much gaming keyboard money they can't be bothered to

[fair pivot]

I might just go for lubed silent alpacas, i like them the most

Varmilo VA69 SE - Chery MX Blue
For 70$? :Thonk:

[fair pivot]

[timid current]

Whats a good switch lube?

[potent void]

Krytox or whatever is popular

[verbal canopy]

at least retooled or hyperglide cherrys are smooth enough

(if you get a decent batch)

[pallid trout]

I mean you're going to be lubing all your switches anyway sooooo

Except Cherry/Gateron browns lmao

[worldly shale]

cherry mx clear here like

[pallid trout]

I just realized that lol

[worldly shale]

well they would be good if they were lighter

[ionic briar]

with tactiles you can just not lube the legs
or use thinner lubes

[pallid trout]

Depends on the switch you're using but that's also subject to

[worldly shale]

most of the time i don't see the point in lubing tactile switches anyway but maybe that's because lubing is hell and i want any excuse not to do it xd

[pallid trout]

just spray lube

[worldly shale]

push stem method best method

spring crunch simply does not exist

[ionic briar]

it does?

[worldly shale]

no i'm bullshitting lol

[subtle pasture]

what’s like a good keyboard under 100 dollars

[ionic briar]

prefered layout and switch type?
also the board come equipped with switches and keycaps?

and yeah ofc the board come with switches and key caps

mx reds preferably

@ionic briar

or brown switches

I split Hot Chocolate on my Keyboard (Office Keyboard)
What are some ways I can get rid of the Hot Chocolate from the keyboard?

[verbal canopy]

you can still feel the scratch though, if you press slowly

though as long as it sounds good and its not as scratchy as a stock switch, i'm fine with it

[worldly shale]

flip it over and dry it

[deep karma]

dishwasher?

check out the LTT vid on the topic first tho

[forest sigil]

Mmmm

[rapid socket]

I want mechanic on my laptop, how can i replace?

[coarse palm]

apparently my Kumara K552 is hotswappable... but only with Outemu switches... so do I mutilate the legs of other switch brands to make them fit?

[boreal rivet]

Iirc it's because of the thickness of the contact pins that make it outemu only

The sockets only fit outemu switch pins

Yea if he wouldn't mind doing it for all his switches

Waste of time

[coarse palm]

def worth it if it means I don't have to use the blues anymore

maybe I'll go for outemu browns, they seem okay from experience

[ionic briar]

you can go with all outemu that are designed from gazzew

[modest falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-disappointed-food-review-meme-gif-16003613

[agile scaffold]

Idk what to buy, should i buy keycaps or should i go for lubes? Keycaps are worth 3$ (since its abs and one color) and lubes worth 5$

[coarse palm]

okay, okay, they do sound very nice

and they'll fit in the hotswap socket, right?

[ionic briar]

you are deciding between a whole set of keycaps or some keycaps vs lube?

[agile scaffold]

Lemme check if my country sells it, i dont use amazon cause shipping fee is worth than a viper mini lol

They do have krytox brand

[agile scaffold]

Yea

Lets hope shipping isnt expensive

[valid cypress]

U4Ts are def my favorite

[ionic briar]

then i think lube
3 usd for caps are ludicrous

what does the set looks like

[agile scaffold]

Theyre abs

Why how much should keycaps cost?

[coarse palm]

more than 3 bucks..

[tribal quest]

The off-brand chinese sets are usually like $30

[ionic briar]

my 1mm thin shine through pbt caps with blurry undefined edge on the typeface is already 12 usd for a set that covers a full size keeb

[agile scaffold]

https://shopee.ph/product/84818749/3561763935?smtt=0.300904746-1621428775.9

[tribal quest]

For thick abs/pbt

stuff like gmk like $1-2 hundred

[agile scaffold]

Im getting light gray for abc's so i can go black grey

[coarse palm]

so from what I hear, i'll have to do some cutting on these boba u4ts to get them to fit in the hotswap socket, right?

[tribal quest]

wild

[coarse palm]

but

apparently they are compatible out of the box?

[ionic briar]

nope
those are from outemu
the pins will be thin enough

[tribal quest]

depends on hotswap socket

[coarse palm]

ah alr

[tribal quest]

is your socket 5 pin or 3 pin?

[agile scaffold]

Im getting a k552 since its cheap and found a keeb with red outemu

[ionic briar]

3 usd is for the modifiers only
the alphas are 7 usd
so 10 usd for the alphas and the mods are 10 usd

[agile scaffold]

I dont mind if theyre worse than mx's i just wanna get a lighter press since membrane is so hard to press

[agile scaffold]

Wdym mods?

[ionic briar]

https://cf.shopee.ph/file/03dce2e48e06f29ad7db742f541341d2
from the listing's site

modifiers being shifts, ctrls, windows, enter, backspace, etc

[agile scaffold]

Pricing depends on colors, since im getting a gray alphanumerical im just geting 3-5 bucks

[coarse palm]

then I guess I would need about.. 60 bucks to cover my entire board.. ofc not including tax yet lol

[ionic briar]

but you will need to buy the other part kit as well to fill in your board

[agile scaffold]

Im just going for stock on my mods

[ionic briar]

ic

[agile scaffold]

And its actually 2.99 so yea

[ionic briar]

then yea
its your typical 1mm thin abs/pbt caps with blurry edges on the typeface and a high change of keycap's stem cracking

[agile scaffold]

Guess ill go for stock keycaps and just go for lubes then

Ik lubes change sounds a bit, but does it also change the feel to it?

[ionic briar]

yea
about that
i dont think you will lube frequently enough to worth the up front price of buying the molykote lube in bulk

[agile scaffold]

Im going for krytox ones

[ionic briar]

which one?

[agile scaffold]

Krytox 206 lubes

[ionic briar]

woah
thats kinda thick
is this your first lube job?

also
the certainty of the k552 equipped with hotswap socket is still a big question mark for me

[pulsar crow]

Can anyone give me tkl keyboard reccomandation?

[ionic briar]

budget?

and switch preference

[pulsar crow]

hmm

around 90-100 bucks

and red switches

[ionic briar]

all out rgb or just on the keycaps?

@pulsar crow

[pulsar crow]

on the keycaps will do :))

@ionic briar

sorry late respond

Wdym btw by all out rgb and on the keycaps

Can u give me pictures for ezample?

[pulsar crow]

ok im really new to kb* what do u mean by light and heavy

[ashen oriole]

thats good looking

[pulsar crow]

Oh i think just on the keycaps

Heavier

I think something like this

Simple with rgb

yessir

not really

I already have a modded kb

hmm no

Just for gaming

So i dont really need anything fancy

Yo is the hyperx alloy origin core good?

Whats a aqua switch

Ive never heard of that

[ionic briar]

https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-ep84
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32018252890201
https://kono.store/products/gemini-dusk
prebuilt options
the 3rd one is 160 usd tho

[pulsar crow]

ik i meant like whats a aqua switch ive never heard of it

i already have a keychron

Its very good

Oo the epomaker looks nice

[ionic briar]

a tactile that hyperx contracted other switch fab to make it for their boards

[pulsar crow]

Do u think its good? The red aqua switch one

Its either that or the epomaker

[ionic briar]

its better than most batches of cherry mx at least
not sure how would it stand up against gateron linears tho, being well known as the entry level linear with the famed gateron yellow

[pulsar crow]

Do u think that the switches are more into the heavier side or lighter side

?

[ionic briar]

which one
the gateron red or the hyperx linear?

[pulsar crow]

hyperx linear

[ionic briar]

pretty light for me
as a gateron yellow user with an acutation force of 50g ish

@pulsar crow

[pulsar crow]

If its pretty light i should go for the blue one?

Or is that how it works

[ionic briar]

nope
if you want linear switches, you should look for something else with heavier spring or springswap your current switch

[boreal rivet]

hyperx aquas are probably done by outemu

so they should be okay

[ionic briar]

the blue one is a clicky switch, it will produce an audible click with each keystrokes

[boreal rivet]

rattle more like omegalul

[ionic briar]

yea
for typical click jackets at least

[boreal rivet]

for every click jacket yes

[ionic briar]

nope

you havent heard outemu phoenix

[boreal rivet]

i have and theyre still rattly

not as much but they still are

[unkempt dome]

The only outemu I tried was the blue and they are awful ... the spring ping in there is out of this world especially in the k552 which does a good job at amplifying it

[boreal rivet]

its a clone of a already shit switch

[ionic briar]

which to be far to cherry
mx blue's click is the byproduct of the tactile generator mechanism

[swift relic]

Trying to look for some pink back-lit keycaps that have the English letters plus Japanese on them. Need them for a 60% keyboard. Would appreciate if anyone knew of any and could let me know

[little otter]

You can check this website (http://www.mechgroupbuys.com) to see if anything catches your interest. Or you can check r/mechmarket

[fair pivot]

Are silent alpacas still good? Like should i get them?

[hollow dragon]

anyone ever fixed double key press ghosting on a keyboard before?

[unkempt dome]

Are aliaz silent switches good ?
How do they compare to kailh silent box brown ?

[verbal canopy]

aliaz are barely tactile, and the silencing pads on them aren't that soft so they're louder than other silents i have on hand

[unkempt dome]

Barely tactile ... ok thanx it convinced me to skip them

The noise is not that much an issue tho

[cosmic pulsar]

Hey I'm about to pull the trigger on the Logitech G915 but can't decide between the Linear and Clicky. What is everyone's experience with the different types?

[unkempt dome]

I like clicky when it involves a click bar ...

I'm not a linear kind of guy I think ... but the only ones i ever tried was the gateron yellow and the spring is too soft for my taste

Also it's only a matter of preference

[plucky rivet]

What is something that is small and conductive that can replace this trace on a Membrane keyboard

[hollow dragon]

possibly conductive paint

[plucky rivet]

anything else that you may know of?

[hollow dragon]

you could bridge the break with a small wire further down each side of the trace, that way its still flexible at that spot. A conductive silver ink pen is probably easiest if you have a steady hand but I don't know how reliable it will be on something that flexes quite a bit with repetitive use.

I really want a Corsair RGB wireless mechanical keyboard. Something like the rog claymore with a huge battery and managed rgb on wireless.

I have standardised on icue for my RGB

[loud nova]

Probably browns.

[chrome raft]

hey guys, how much should I save up for a keyboard customizing kit? like soldering iron, the switch workstation and opener, lube, and what are the screwdrivers I need to access the PCB and or putting foam?

[ionic briar]

you can start off with a hot swap kit and save some money on soldering iron and all the soldering accesories
switch opener you can use a flathead screwdriver
for the tools you need to access the pcb, you will mostly need a phillps head screwdriver, foam obviously you need a scissor

[chrome raft]

is there like a standard measurement of how small or it's a different case for different keebs?

I meant the screwdriver for accessing the pcb

[ionic briar]

it depends on the board

[chrome raft]

ah ok then, thanks!

Still waiting for someone to pin this.

[verbal canopy]

i mean, some boards use torx screws too

[boreal rivet]

no prebuilt ive seen comes with torx

imagine using torx for a keyboard

[agile scaffold]

They are with red outemu switches, not hotswappable oof

[agile scaffold]

Yes, my first lube job

[rigid falcon]

are outemu switches good

[pallid trout]

Depends

But you know how it is

It's all about

[ionic briar]

their basic switches ranging from mediocre to bad
those that gazzew designed and contracted are pretty decent

[tired cape]

What is the best keyboard for typing

[neat matrix]

@tired cape It depends on what you're looking for in a keyboard. Personally, I prefer a clicky keyboard for typing because I like the feedback it gives. If that's for you, then look for a keyboard with a cherry MX blue switch

[loud nova]

Original Model M buckling spring

also best keyboard for killing people

[pallid trout]

Do I have to say it?

It's all about

[ashen oriole]

Preference go brr

[pallid trout]

"oh what's the best watch"
the one you like the best

[tired cape]

Ok got it thanks

[chrome raft]

Will these work for soldering switches?

[ashen oriole]

that looks like the kind that blow up

ive had a few of these go boom

[chrome raft]

Ahh ok then, thanks

[ashen oriole]

if you only want to use it for a few boards it should be fine

prolonged use or large projects might make it go bad

[chrome raft]

How much should I spend on one? The pic was 10 usd

[ashen oriole]

seems like a good price

for what it is

[fiery vale]

I would get a few accessories like a stand

[ashen oriole]

flux

alot of flux

and if you are de soldering a de solder pump

should be pretty cheap

[fiery vale]

I don't think he is going to do much desoldering

[ashen oriole]

fair enough

[fiery vale]

But yeah, a pump is neat

I'd try to do some soldering job before hand

[fiery vale]

Don't want to ruin your PCB

[chrome raft]

How about this?

[ashen oriole]

ive never seen these before xD

[boreal rivet]

If you want to make sure you don't fuck up

Get a engineer sucker and some nice solder

Or you'll have problems

[pallid trout]

Isn't there a really nice soldering pen for like $50 or less?

[boreal rivet]

I don't think it's worth it at this point

[fiery vale]

I wouldn't spend 50$ on a soldering iron just for a keyboard.

[boreal rivet]

The equipment is worth as much as the keyboard

[ashen oriole]

same

[pallid trout]

Fair enough.

[ashen oriole]

the 10 dollar one was fine

[chrome raft]

OK then

[ashen oriole]

just dont keep it on for more then like 40 minutes at once

[fiery vale]

Gonna get myself an soldering iron as well. Fixing that bloody Pokemon Gold cartridge.

[chrome raft]

Thanks for all the advice! :D

[fiery vale]

My shiny Garados and my fire starter are gone :C

[chrome raft]

Btw, I was buying a keyboard at the mall and this Karen is complaining to the other Karens about how much I'm overspending on keyboard and about how much she spent little on her lmao

I pretended I was listening to music

[fiery vale]

Thank goodness there are not a lot of Karens here in Germany.

[chrome raft]

Thank god she wasn't with a child or she would've complained to the manager about how "I stole her kid's keyboard"

[pallid trout]

As if she didn't overspend on her house and could've lived in a trailer instead

[fiery vale]

Bold assumption she paid for "her" house and not him x)

[pallid trout]

lmao

[chrome raft]

Look at all these chickens

[fiery vale]

I am looking at keyboards and not chicken, but you do you.

[chrome raft]

Dang that's alot lol

[pallid trout]

Is there a GMMK Pro in there?

[chrome raft]

I think, these were just photos I took earlier

[pallid trout]

Ahh

[chrome raft]

The brands I could remember were duckys, razor, glorious, redragon, and hyperx

Oh and logitech

Also asus

[coarse palm]

how do I explain that I need 60 bucks for mechanical switches

urgent lol!!!

[pallid trout]

You don't.
Because you know how it is.

It's all about

But if you really need an excuse

Say it helps you type much faster.

[coarse palm]

good idea!

I also need to manipulate audio recordings of both switches

make one seem like dirt shit and the other a gift of god

[pallid trout]

Type real slow on your membrane and then when you get your mech type real fast lmao

[coarse palm]

super fast

I wonder how many poor souls are stuck with "mechanical-FEEL" gaming keyboards

[pallid trout]

rip

[coarse palm]

what could be considered an appropriate sendoff once the gamer has upgraded to mech

[pallid trout]

Flex with a $3600 Keycult commission

[coarse palm]

throw the mem into the bin

or treat it as a hand me down and pass it onto another unlucky soul

[coarse palm]

mechanical keyboards aren't just a hobby, but a lifestyle that'll drag you by the legs

[cursive garnet]

Oh just realized there's a keyboars channel here, nice

[chrome raft]

In short mechanical keebs aren't a hobby, it's an addiction

[coarse palm]

it'll set you back FAR

[chrome raft]

FAR is an understatement

[coarse palm]

beyond the depths of "mom can I borrow some money"

[chrome raft]

What could be worse is that you could have an addiction that is also really detrimental and connects to your other addiction which is also, really detrimental

Aka computers and keyboards

[coarse palm]

omg!!1 keyboard with built in 1080 ti!!

[pallid trout]

All hobbies can end up with addiction.

[coarse palm]

my golf addiction..

[pallid trout]

Like me with $800 USD worth of audiophile gear

[chrome raft]

tkl gang

[chrome raft]

[pallid trout]

With lots and lots and lots of modding.

Not worth it unless you're making a video.

[coarse palm]

[pliant isle]

[pallid trout]

You're right.

My next stop is a $6000 USD Hifiman Susvara
