Rich people don't buy things like artisans
sour peak
Who the fuck buys gold plated pens?
eh, gold/silver pens don't have to be crazy expensive tbh and sometimes htey can be really amazing. but it's easy to take it too far, i mean if you earn millions of dollars a year $2000 is a drop in the ocean
boreal rivet
There is no physical value in artisans

also there weas this rich guy in india who made a whole shirt and pants out of 18k woven gold

It is just resin its core
rich ppl dont care abt substance
they just want the most expensive

Why do rich people buy expensive cars but don't drive them then?

It's an investment

boreal rivet
Yea like one every 5 months lmao
tight moon
Yea like one every 5 months lmao
thats all u need when ur selling for such a steep pric
boreal rivet
500 bucks every 5 months is not worth the effort of making 100 separate molds
tight moon
rolex is just a regular watch ppl pay hundreds of thousands of dullahs fr that
tight moon
500 bucks every 5 months is not worth the effort of making 100 separate molds
500 is much too low for 100 keys
lets say 10000 dollars for 100

Standard price for a artisan is 50 bucks
Even artisan collectors will realise you're trying to rip them off
Nvm I'm dumb

Even artisan collectors will realise you're trying to rip them off

Still not worth the effort
wer assuming time and effort are worth nothinggg

And sell lots of those

And sell lots of those
thats planb if the artisan thing goes sideways

If we do assume that, your proposition is already unrealistic

Those two are expensive
I don't want to spend that amount of money on a switch I won't sure about

that looks good i might just go for the c1
its all lubed and stuff
ionic briar
its all lubed and stuff
where?
you mean the pre lubed stabs?
ionic briar
theres no mention of pre lubed stabs or switches in their marketing for the c1
@ashen finch
ionic briar
nope
the best is that they come with pre lubed stabs
which is most of the time inconsistent and doesnt do anything
verbal canopy
Same should apply to the hexgear too
ionic briar
yep
ionic briar
the hexgears come with a better stock clicky whereas the c1 comes with a better linear option imo

What are the pricing on them
As in normal market price

reduce spring ping yes
quieter depends on the viscosity, the amount of lube you applied

kinda
also they use basic outemu which are patchy in terms of quality control
violet gale
kinda
also they use basic outemu which are patchy in terms of quality control
Oh I see, do you know which pins they use?
For like the switches
ionic briar
the gk and sk?
they dont come with switches
they are just the pcb and case and plate
you will have to buy switches to plug into the board
which iirc both accepts 5 pin switches
violet gale
they are just the pcb and case and plate
Oh then I'll just need to get switches and keycaps separately and that's all right
ionic briar
Oh then I'll just need to get switches and keycaps separately and that's all rig...
yea
which you told me that you already have keycaps
violet gale
yea
which you told me that you already have keycaps
Yup I do
violet gale
yea
which you told me that you already have keycaps
Which keycaps do you recommend me getting for silent experience with the keyabord
ionic briar
Which keycaps do you recommend me getting for silent experience with the keyabor...
keycaps doesnt really affect the sound level of a board tbh
its more to do with the switch, plate, case i think]
violet gale
Whoops I meant switch
I miss typed it
I was thinking of like linear switches
but I'm not sure on which ones since there's so many
If possible, something like these specs
Actuation Force: 45 G
Travel Distance: 3.5 mm
Actuation point: 1.2 mm
Which is something like the razer yellow switches
I like the feeling of it, but it's not that silent
Like the part where the keycaps hits the baord makes a rly loud sound
ionic briar
Like the part where the keycaps hits the baord makes a rly loud sound
thats because of the plastic to plastic contact between the stem and the housing
violet gale
thats because of the plastic to plastic contact between the stem and the housing
Oh I see, would the sk87 and gk87 have the same problem
ionic briar
Oh I see, would the sk87 and gk87 have the same problem
no
cause thats on the switch
not the board
violet gale
Since they're both gonna be plastic as well right
ionic briar
it might sounds hollowy
violet gale
no
cause thats on the switch
not the board
As in, it doesn't hit the board?
ionic briar
As in, it doesn't hit the board?
yea
the switch doesnt hit the board
the stem inside the switch hits the housing of the switch, creating sounds
violet gale
yea
the switch doesnt hit the board
the stem inside the switch hits the housing ...
Oh, do you have like a sound test example of that?
Also is that softer than the one I'm experiencing?
ionic briar
Oh, do you have like a sound test example of that?
i mean
all sound test are like that
the housing of the switch stays secure on the plate of the keyboard, not making sound
its the cross thingy that you put your keycaps in that travels and create sound
it could sound like this
in terms of loudness
not exactly sounds like the example i gave
violet gale
it could sound like this
Oh the sound is very silent
I like this kind of sound HAHA
Would the loudness be like this XD
ionic briar
yea
more or less
def sounds quieter than your razer yellow
violet gale
yea
more or less
def sounds quieter than your razer yellow
Yup that's for sure softer
Which switches would you recommend me to go for?
Have to be below $25 tho
Since I've used so much for my board HAHA
ionic briar
Have to be below $25 tho
gateron silent, kailh box silent pink, durock dolphins
ionic briar
Have to be below $25 tho
that sounds like gateron silent
violet gale
that sounds like gateron silent
Oh are there more options?
Also I saw that, there are like 5 gateron silent switches
Which ones would best suit me
ionic briar
Also I saw that, there are like 5 gateron silent switches
gateron silent red
ionic briar
Oh are there more options?
more options means more expensive price
violet gale
more options means more expensive price
Oh I see, so you're saying gaterons are my best bet for the price
violet gale
gateron silent red
Alright thanks I'll take note of it
ionic briar
Oh I see, so you're saying gaterons are my best bet for the price
yea
for your given price
theres outemu silent basic switches as well
but im not sure if the quality control is better
violet gale
gateron silent red
What's the difference between normal gateron and silent gateron
Would there be a lot of difference between sound
like the loudness of it
ionic briar
What's the difference between normal gateron and silent gateron
there are rubber injected to the part of the stem where it will make contacts with the top and bottom housing
which dampens the sound quite a lot
violet gale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGZDERUY1ns
These are just silent reds right
ionic briar
These are just silent reds right
yep
for normal gateron
i use em
gateron yellow
but my sound test is more silent than the other due to proximity effect from mic placement
violet gale
Oh I see
violet gale
for normal gateron
i use em
gateron yellow
but my sound test is more silent than...
Do you know the pricing for both silent and normal? As in market price
ionic briar
Do you know the pricing for both silent and normal? As in market price
my gateron yellow was 0.25 per switch
silent is a tad more expensive iirc

It's $120 without keycaps only
So I'm trying to split between board and switches
Must haves:

- Hotswappable
- TKL Layout
- Good build quality without minimal sound
Oh yeah I forgotten to ask, are the sk87 and gk 87 hotswappable?
Alright thanks
ionic briar
if it doesnt
it wont come without switches
ionic briar
there isnt a optical gk87 as far as i know

I can choose the switch right

from the vendor list we posted or from your good old shopee and lazada

I saw the ducky one 2 series looks rly good
Those are entry level as well?
ionic briar

100-250 to me is still entry level territory for custom mechs
violet gale
Oh alright thanks
could you tell the difference between entry level and those mid tiers
ionic briar
could you tell the difference between entry level and those mid tiers
most entry level cut cost by using more stiff mounting config like tray mount, top mount cause its easier to manufacture
the case commonly comes in plastic or some sort of acrylic (tho things like gmmk pro is aluminum and it has pretty good value)
doesnt have many plate material option, usually limited to only alumium
violet gale
Oh I see, and what about budget switches and those more expensive ones like you recommended
ionic briar
tho again
there are many custom mech recently that is breaking those stereotypes
like ikki68 with gasket mounted mouting style
gmmk pro comes in with okay aluminum case
kbd67lite is another honorable mention
ionic briar
Oh I see, and what about budget switches and those more expensive ones like you ...
entry level you have gateron yellow and the whole akko cs lineup of switches
mid range could be composed of durock switches, outemus designed by gazzew, ktt, kailh box clicky, nk dry series and so on
violet gale
entry level you have gateron yellow and the whole akko cs lineup of switches
mid...
Alright thanks
What's the difference between mid range and entry level?
Like how do you tell them apart
And also when I get the switches, do I need to relube it and all?
ionic briar
What's the difference between mid range and entry level?
smoothness of the housing tbh
and price
mostly price
cause tactility level and click sound pitch is subjected to personal preference
violet gale
Oh alright thanks so much!
When you say standard gateron, does that include silent gats? For entry level
ionic briar

any thought about the system 76 keyboard ? ... I've seen the short circuit video featuring Antony ... I thought that the keyboard was looking really interesting
but probably you can build something about the same or better with the same amount of money
ionic briar
any thought about the system 76 keyboard ? ... I've seen the short circuit video...
yea
the big thing they marketed is that their usb passthrough hub can do high speed connections, so you can transfer datas through it without the need for an extra hub
which is fine if youre going to buy a keyboard and a usb hub
but imo, you can buy each part seperately and get the same result
otherwise, the modifiers will be a pain for keycap buying since now you will have to buy extra kits for small modifiers from gb sets
qmk is nothing new
unkempt dome
I'm pretty sure that I won't change the keycaps ... also I already have two sets of dsa that I can match with the OG keycaps if I want to ...
it would most likely be for the layout that I find really nice, the hotswap of course (not sure if it's 5pins compatible) the split spacebar that is kinda interesting ... and I see myself using the hub also
ionic briar
yea
tho i would hope that keyboard reviewers get this to have a look at the build quality
cause from what i saw from the renders they look cheap compare to say the gmmk pro
unkempt dome
I was thinking about getting the gk64 or gk68 I think those are called ...
ionic briar
like the floating key design makes me feel like they use super thin metal for the case

well the gmmk pro doesn't interest me ... it's expensive and I don't have any use for the wheel
ionic briar
well the gmmk pro doesn't interest me ... it's expensive and I don't have any us...
yea
gmmk pro is 170 usd barebones
27 usd for 90 box white from novelkeys
that leaves you with 87 usd for caps and a usb hub
launch is 285 usd btw
is there any decent usb hub for 36usd?
unkempt dome
no idea ...
ionic briar
cause thats the total for a gmmk pro with the same spec as the launch
without the usb hub part

Not by cutting part of them

do you think mints are good?

I realized that I never shared my keyboard build here. Gk 61 in a 3D Printed case from Bs3DPrintShop, TEX ADA Keycaps, and Glorious Panda Switches

nice
pallid trout
do you think mints are good?
The only way to know is to try it yourself, unfortunately.

I just returned my 60% from reddragon because some of the keys stopped working. so im looking for a dif keyboard and also blue switches sound annoying af

It'll probably be about the same quality or slightly worse than the redragons
In terms of the overall board
I agree, personally I can't stand blue switches
I only have the redragon because it's cheap haha
fierce condor
They're unbelievably scratchy
stiff cedar
ew
fierce condor
Gateron browns are quite nice though
fierce condor
so like blue vs brown what do u think is better
Brown imo
Because Tactiles > clickies for me
stiff cedar
I found a better keyboard but they dont state if its gateron browns or just cherry
fierce condor
Cherry browns aren't bad, I just feel that the gaterons are better
stiff cedar
how bout the sound?
fierce condor
But usually if it's a cheap board it'll probably not be Cherry first party
Tactiles all sound basically the same unless they're very unusual
stiff cedar
ah
fierce condor
The keyboard is what defines 99% of the sound (except for clickies), and it's going to sound hollow/not super quiet because it's cheap
pallid trout
ye
fierce condor
For $30 I wouldn't complain at all if it's got linear switches and reprogrammability

yeah like, as long as the product page isn't outright lying I would be happy if it just meets the claims with ok build quality on that page

Aight.
The RK84 my brother got is both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth, hotswappable, fully serviceable, has RGB that's configurable right on the keyboard, has angle extenders to change your typing angle, and has a removable faceplate so you can choose between a low-profile and a high-profile look.
It's plastic but has an aluminum plate.
It's also compatible with 5-pin switched. RGB is north-facing, though.
