guys if i buy this keyboard(https://www.jarir.com/sa-en/redragon-kg30-krs-deimos...
Well it's plastic instead of metal and the switches aren't swappable without desoldering, so you're basically going to have to replace the entire board if you want to get anywhere close to the Tfue Keycult's sound signature.
boreal rivet
yes you can
it'll be 85% there with proper switches and mods
keycult is just overpriced bs with forced exclusivity

or should i get the Logitech G502 HERO
pallid trout
Do you play any fast-paced games?
pallid trout
valorant fortnite brawlhalla is what i mostly play
G502 is great for an all-around mouse because it effectively has 19 buttons with G-Shift.
If you play competitive Valorant, though, it's pretty heavy; even the Swiftpoint Z is 5g lighter.
naive iris
but why is the wireless version 2x the price for the regular one
pallid trout
Because it's also lighter.

bruh cos its wireless

You can still use any mice for competitive FPS play but you're better off with a lighter mouse if you don't mind sacrificing buttons.

you can get hhkb layout in dz60, you can get whatever switch you want with dz60 and light and portable is just a matter of choosing the right case
the advantage of a custom kb like dz60 is you can change the keys significantly more

45g is kinda light for my taste ... can you change the weight of the topre ?
last leaf
hhkb looks promising
boreal rivet
the way topre rates their domes for weight is weird
I dont know how exactly it works
so 45g would be about 60g give or take and 55g like 70g
maybe more, my 55gs definitely feel heavier than the 72g vint blacks I used to have

@urban glade is it normal that the G80-3000 has a MX Grey on the spacebar?

Does topre feels more like linear or more like a tactile ?
tactile, but very different to mx tactiles. i hate all mx tactiles that arent mx brown, but i rly love topre

I will probably switch out the spring in that to make it lighter

i know very few ppl who dislike topre lol

test switches don't tell you how a full board will feel

not to mention topre is much much cheaper compared to mx lul
the misconception that topre is more expensive than mx belongs in 2015

30g is a good meme

u can buy new but i dont mind used so i may as well see if i can get a bit cheaper used first

I hear it feels almost linear

i can definitely feel the tactility with mine

Hmmm didn't think about ebay
boreal rivet
wow

if you prefer sharper tactility, older domes are generally a little bit sharper anyway
so buying used probably would be best for you lol
unkempt dome
Japanese ebay ... that's a no go

Don't know that place ... will check it out

What lube do you recommend for cherry stabs?
boreal rivet
lots of dielectric grease

i use 205g0 because i already have it, but dielectric grease works fine

there is some new meme lube
boreal rivet
really
urban glade
which friends say is really good
boreal rivet

urban glade
idk i'm finding it
krytox xht-bdz
uk vendor but i know there are lots elsewhere too
urban glade
apparently the play now is to do that on the wire and 205 on the housings
boreal rivet
a meme thats for sure
boreal rivet
another reason why I just went with a rf
urban glade
i havent lubed any stabs on my hhkb
urban glade
still more work than not
urban glade
idk probably
oh ye ur in germany
fuck whats their name
theres a good vendor of keyboard modding stuff around there
fiery vale
Where is the difference between the different lubes?
urban glade
205g0 is thicker, i find it stays there longer
the dielectric tends to displace with use, and you may have to relube occasionally
i think you would have to with 205g0 too but it lasts a lot longer
fiery vale
Are we talking years difference?
urban glade
hm i'd say so
i have a board i've used lots for maybe 9 months and stabs are still fine (205g0)
had a dielectric lubed board start to have stabs go bad in a matter of weeks
but ymmv
fiery vale
ymmv?
boreal rivet
your mileage may vary
boreal rivet
👌
urban glade
it could just be that i am shit at lubing stabs
and the dielectric would have been fine if i wasnt
boreal rivet
idk I just dump a metric shitton into the stabiliser
seems to work

mx have u seen switch pads

how long until we are leaving holes in the board ready to fill it with spray foam once assembled
urban glade
but those switch pads are actually dumb
they're good for ppl who are shit at building and dont know how to get the switch to actually sit in pcb properly
boreal rivet
good for wei too
boreal rivet
how long until we are leaving holes in the board ready to fill it with spray foa...
can't do that
it'll ruin the flippability of your board after you're done using it for like a week
urban glade
so true!!!
urban glade
i love seeing gb runners confirm to me that their "for friends only" private group buys are full of [ppl who tier 3 sub] and ppl who will hype the board and increase its flip price

granite thicket
I see so many different types of keys...
how do I know which one is the right one for me?
are varmilo keyboards good?
unkempt dome
varmilo are good for prebuilt ... same goes for leopold and durgod also ...
the best way decide the switches is to try them out with a switch tester but that doesn't give a feeling of full board tho
you can also get a hotswappable board and just buy a set that seems interesting and try them ... and buy another set and another set and another set ... never ending buying set of switches
granite thicket
I was looking at something like this: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5147
but im used to razer keyboards and I like the way the key presses feel its just loud
unkempt dome
that one is beautiful
granite thicket
what is pbt?
unkempt dome
so your choice of switches are limited ... do you want the switch to have a tactile feeling, tactile and auditory feeling or complely non feeling from top to bottom ?
that might be a strange way to explain linear, tactile and clicky
granite thicket
what is a razer blackwidow chroma v2?
unkempt dome

granite thicket
ive only had blackwidows
unkempt dome
which switche are there in it
?
granite thicket
razer yellow
unkempt dome
ok those are linear from what I can see. the cherry reds are what would be the closest to those
if you want them more quiet get the silent red
granite thicket
are they going to feel different?
unkempt dome
yes probably
granite thicket
oh this only comes in brown and blue without the silencers
unkempt dome
reds have a longer travel
granite thicket
I would rather be noisy still then
unless there is a way to make it smoother I guess I am ok with it
unkempt dome
there's also red and silent red available ...
unkempt dome
those would be the smoothest
unkempt dome
yes ... between all the switches choice you have
they are linear so smooth from top to bottom
browns have a really light tactile bump
blue have a tactile bump and a click jacket that intentionally make noise
blue would be the loudest and silent red the quietest
granite thicket
I would try them but they make the keyboard preorder?
unkempt dome
well it's not really preorder ... it's out of stock but they will have restock so you can buy it and they will ship it when they get it ...
you could also check out on varmilo website directly ...
granite thicket
scale of 1-10 how good is varmilo? I am mainly getting it for the design
unkempt dome
they are in the good ones for prebuits ...
corsair, razer, logitech and other gaming brands are usually considered from meh to really bad ...
specially cause they are bad value for the build quality
granite thicket
ok, cause I am in the market for a new keyboard and id rather not get another razer
unkempt dome
what I always suggest is a hotswappable board for the convenience of being able to change the switches without having to desolder them
also do you really need a full size board ... there's smaller board that would take less spaces on the desk
granite thicket
I like having the number pad for when I do code and spreadsheets

80-100?

Average is like 40-50.
crimson isle
ouch, that sounds unusable
would expect at least like 65-80
unless they took the average from 50+ year olds or your average 40-50 year old mother
pallid trout
Not everyone is around a keyboard enough to break out of that average.
Like if you're not a regular in this channel then chances are you're well within the average.
Or you just don't pay attention to custom keyboards. But you get the idea. Construction workers and athletes are probably in that 40 WPM average, for instance.
crimson isle
I would expect it to be higher because of how many jobs require a laptop
pallid trout
It's probably a little higher now with everyone working from home but a lot of jobs still don't require the use of a keyboard.

I don't even own a mechanical keyboard, (though I did order custom in july)
40-50wpm sounds weird to me, since I get nearly double the lower end on phone (73-78 wpm)

Oh ok that actually makes sense, I didn’t see anything in it justifying the $180-$200 USD price tag on it

Can I use hockey tape instead of masking tape for the tape mod?

Nothing wrong with trying.
I'm guessing masking tape has a particular density and weight to them which makes them ideal, but you're free to experiment.
