some stacked acrylic or 3d printed

[brazen aspen]

Pngu so lit

[quasi wasp]

"p"?

Lmao I just noticed something

[urban glade]

p much -> pretty much

[brazen aspen]

Pretty much

[quasi wasp]

ah

very nice setting

[urban glade]

i love pngu

[brazen aspen]

Good lad

[quasi wasp]

Cover the feet of your keeb with a medical mask or two

Just try it

[brazen aspen]

Stocker gaming mod incoming

[quasi wasp]

haha

Are you hearing what I'm hearing?

[brazen aspen]

I’m not doing it, but I can guess what it does

[quasi wasp]

Why aren't you doing it? :(

[brazen aspen]

I am not home

And I kinda know what will happen

[quasi wasp]

Hm

But you might enjoy the results

[brazen aspen]

Not enough to have medical masks under my keyboard at all times

[quasi wasp]

I mean it would be quite easy to make a version of this which is less intrusive

[brazen aspen]

It’s called a desk pad

Or even a keyboard mat

[quasi wasp]

That probably makes more of a difference than any keyboard mod

I feel like keycaps matter much more than the case too

If you are isolating the sound from the table

Does anyone here know where I can find good 75% keycap sets?

And how does the Keychron K2 compare to the Epomaker Akko 3084?

[boreal rivet]

anyone here who should know anything doesn't care about those so we dont know

thats the power button lmao

[quasi wasp]

You mean that they are too cheap?

[boreal rivet]

the led indicator positions are whack af

[boreal rivet]

what do you think

[urban glade]

😭 its awful

[boreal rivet]

i agree

the rest of it looks good to me tho

and its BT!!!!

[urban glade]

mx i'm sick pls dont make me cough

[boreal rivet]

I still have my cough from covid

[urban glade]

filco is already the best bt tkl

[boreal rivet]

no realforce aesthetic

[urban glade]

this isnt covid luckily

kobo case is so good though

[quasi wasp]

Know anything about what?

[boreal rivet]

about keyboards

[quasi wasp]

But they would be able to tell

They don’t need to want to buy the keyboard

[boreal rivet]

without owning it, how would one be able to tell if one is better than the other

[urban glade]

i'm honestly much more a fan of r2 (i prefer it to r1 as well)

[boreal rivet]

r2 looks boring to me

no flair

[urban glade]

true

just add stickers to add flair

[timid estuary]

anyone knows a good bluetooth dongle for windows? i had the tp link one and it was horrendous

[boreal rivet]

r1 4head is so nice in a weird way

[boreal rivet]

r3 software suite looks good tho

[urban glade]

plenty flair now!!

ooo i havent seen it

[boreal rivet]

and from what I read, delay isn't really noticeable on bt mode

[urban glade]

i dont notice any delay on hhkb bt but i'm not a gamer

[boreal rivet]

https://japanese.engadget.com/realforce-r-3-wireless-review-150119148.html

[urban glade]

i dislike it less

now that i'm looking at it again

[boreal rivet]

still abit conflicted about the new badge, but its not too bad

maybe it'll grow on me

[urban glade]

0.8mm actuation distance based

[boreal rivet]

the japanese have their priorities straight

[urban glade]

i'll probably buy it because its bluetooth

[boreal rivet]

same

[urban glade]

but still going to get a bluetooth filco, i need a kobo frame

[boreal rivet]

kobo frame?

[urban glade]

lacquered filco case

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/filco/kobo.php

[boreal rivet]

yoooo, that looks nice af

[urban glade]

i was planning on keeping it boring with candy cherry, but the more complex ones are also super cool

[boreal rivet]

yeah

[urban glade]

mardi gras is super cool

https://i.imgur.com/2yYTTfR.jpeg

but i'd need this kap for it 😌

[quasi wasp]

@urban glade do you use a deskpad?

[urban glade]

nope

[quasi wasp]

@urban glade then try this

[urban glade]

i've used a deskpad before

shrug

[quasi wasp]

Hm

Why not anymore?

And what do you all think about o-rings?

And where do you all buy keycaps?

[urban glade]

because i prefer the sound without it and its nice to have fewer things on my desk

[quasi wasp]

Hm alright

Doesn’t that roughly do the same as a foam mod?

[urban glade]

i do not know what a foam mod is

other than i assume filling the case with foam and ruining it in the process

[quasi wasp]

Oh, it’s ruined by that?

And what about O-Rings?

[urban glade]

imo yeah, foam gets rid of any character from the board and makes it sound dead

[quasi wasp]

Hm

[urban glade]

i dont like o rings. if you need a quiet board just get silent switches in the first place

o rings dont quieten the upstroke anyway

[quasi wasp]

Wait, isn’t the noise it dampens not switch specific?

[urban glade]

i'm not sure why you would use o rings if not to quieten the board

[quasi wasp]

Or do silent switches have dampers inside of them?

[quasi wasp]

Doesn’t it have a different sound then too?

[urban glade]

silent switches had dampeners inside on the top and bottom of the stem so its quieter

[quasi wasp]

Hm

But isn’t the whole thing about thoccy keyboards that the sounds are dampened?

[urban glade]

The white on the stem are dampeners

[quasi wasp]

Nice

Oh no Internet

[pulsar crow]

What do u guys think about artisan hien soft is it good?

[lament raptor]

does anyone know where can i get one of these pls

[unkempt dome]

Can't wait to get the Q2

[quasi wasp]

I’d still like to know

:)

[unkempt dome]

Amazon or ebay

[quasi wasp]

Thx

Doesn’t seem like there are a lot of 75% keycap sets

But I can’t just take 100% sets because the spacebar and right shift key needs to be shorter and stuff

Is there any place to get one of these fancy spacebars, but fitting the 75% layout?

[urban glade]

not particularly helpful but i usually buy from friends or ppl on discord/telegram as i only get older sets taht arent for sale anymore

for modern stuff - kbdfans has some in stock stuff (mainly blanks), there are some other places, and you can check for keycaps here https://kbd.news/vendors

just beware most of them will be group buys/pre orders

not much in stock

[quasi wasp]

☹️

But thx

[unkempt dome]

Get dsa or dsa set and put some novel keycaps where there's non standard ones

[quasi wasp]

Hm maybe thx

What is up with all those pervert styled keycaps

And why does everyone want coiled chords?

[quasi wasp]

Isn’t shipping cost to the EU a bit high?

[quasi wasp]

Is it possible to increase key wobble by changing keycaps too often?

[quiet reef]

yeah i saw, thanks! I like all the GMMK pro features and stuff like rgb and hotswap, i kinda just want a boxier case

[limpid crypt]

Why do we even use mechanical keyboards

I'm so much faster typing on laptop keyboards lol

And 90% of what I do on my keyboard is well... typing

So it seems counterintuitive to chose a keyboard that's objectively worse

Like look at the best typists, mostly low profile keyboards or laptop keyboards

[chrome raft]

printed my face onto a keycap

[tall karma]

thank you finn, very cool, you can claim your funny points in any other channel
also low profile switches exist

[quasi wasp]

Are they objectively worse?

[quasi wasp]

What about the accuracy?

How do you fix a hollow sounding spacebar btw?

[soft kiln]

30wpm isn't fast Btw

[limpid crypt]

Why can't we just have a conversation about this?

There's a reason why top typists don't use mechanical that much

[limpid crypt]

Low profile is a good point yeah

[limpid crypt]

Is there another reason this is the case? Am I missing something?

The general feel or how tactile mechanical is seems to be the main advantage

Definitely feels better to type on

[soft kiln]

Steve Wrona uses a mechanical keyboard as far as i remember

[limpid crypt]

I think mechanical is less common though, he could be the exception, not the rule

Everyone I know can type about 10-20wpm faster on a laptop too

[tall karma]

sure if you are going for raw speed the short travel of a laptop keyboard is better
but yes, many think mechanical switches feel and sound much better. Also the hard bottom out is not great for your fingers in the long run iirc, more of a risk for rsi

[limpid crypt]

Yeah I can see that

[soft kiln]

Steve does use dovrak layout which has been said to be better

[cobalt rose]

What key switches are these?

[unkempt dome]

You can get those on amazon too ... also I'm not in eu

I hate typing on a laptop / chicklet keyboard ... those suck

[half bridge]

That... that isn't how that works

[hard sonnet]

awyiss

I wanna buy a keyboard soon

does anyone have some recommendations?

[tall karma]

budget and size?

[hard sonnet]

budget is around €150, but I'd prefer 100-80 as long as it's a reliable kb

[half bridge]

Ideally there is a middle ground of an amount of money that you can spend on a board when it begins to get more "premium", and it starts right up around in the $200 range

Personally if my maximum budget were 150 euro (excluding shipping, not sure what it would be for you), I would try to go with something like the KBD67Lite to see how you like a budget custom

[hard sonnet]

Yeah I don't need premium, also I don't think I want the numpad or maybe even just a 70% or whatever that one is with 60% + F keys + dedicated arrows keys + 4 home hub keys

[half bridge]

TKL?

[hard sonnet]

If it's from a wellknown brand I can pick it up from the store, otherwise shipping is pretty low for me

[hard sonnet]

Yeah but a bit smaller

Idk I watched some video about all the keyboard sizes and there was one that had only a singular vertical row with 'home' and 'end' and such, also with arrow keys crammed in

But TKL is completely fine for me

I run a fullsized keyboard rn, not angled

[half bridge]

Personally I managed going from a full size Corsair to a custom 75%

[hard sonnet]

And I still have plenty of room for my mouse so I think TKL is what I'm looking for since most manufacturers support it

[half bridge]

and even that still had keys I didnt need

TKL is your safest bet if you don't want to lose too many keys from a functionality standpoint

[hard sonnet]

I'm not using the home hub but I like the dedicated arrow keys

[half bridge]

(depending on what you do with it)

[hard sonnet]

I just game and watch yt

[half bridge]

Did you want to get something you could modify?

[hard sonnet]

And I don't use the functionalities that come with my fullsize keyboard because I honestly don't know how and don't value my time that much so I just use my mouse

[hard sonnet]

Nah I don't trust myself with that, and also I think that will just cost more for no reason then

[half bridge]

Oh so you want something prebuilt in other words then

[hard sonnet]

Yeah a keyboard preferably :)

[half bridge]

well if you want something thats pretty basic and not too expensive you can try keychron

They have stuff listed on Amazon and their own site

not sure which will be cheaper to ship to you so I'd check both

[hard sonnet]

Ahyes I was looking at Keychron boards the other day, but I wasn't sure if it was a reliable brand

And I didn't really find my way around the website not gonna lie

[half bridge]

Want me to just send you a link to a TKL?

[hard sonnet]

I'm in the Netherlands, I'm quite certain Keychron doesn't have a production line nearby, unless it's in Germany

[hard sonnet]

Yes please that would be very nice

[half bridge]

Not sure if they allow links in this channel so I'll PM it to you

[hard sonnet]

Oh okay ty

[half bridge]

👌

Happy to help :))

[sharp marlin]

Idk why ants are eating away at the silicone membrane of my keyboard. Does anybody know why? I never ate near my PC

[sullen horizon]

Wtf

You should probably get rid of it and also place ant traps around your space

You probably have an ant issue on top of whatever the heck they’re attracted to

[ionic island]

How's this sound?

[tall karma]

Keychron is well respected in the community, they arent top quality, but their boards are quite good for the price.
Other good brands to look to are durgod, varmilo, and leopold.

[cosmic quarry]

idk, sounds awful tho

[clear socket]

Anyone know of a good website that does custom keyboards?

[ionic island]

elastic keyboard

[pallid trout]

Don't buy based on brand.

Good companies can make bad products.
Bad companies can make good products.

It's all case-by-case

[quasi wasp]

Why do they suck?

[quasi wasp]

Hm thx for the info

I feel like it is kinda weird that many keyboard enthusiast see the thocc as OBJECTIVELY the best sound

Also that any keyboard that doesn't sound good to them is trash

[pallid trout]

Not objectively, just preference.

There's no way to scientifically prove "thocc" is the one true sound to strive for unless you get some mass controlled survey.

[soft kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/its-because-it-is-explaining-making-clear-dwayne-johnson-seven-bucks-gif-12856869

[unkempt dome]

Cause I don't like them ... no travel at all, way too easy to actuate, barely any feedback when typing

[quasi wasp]

Well the feedback is there, tho

[soft kiln]

i dont like them cause they feel mushy

[unkempt dome]

Yeah if you call it feedback ... as much feedback as cherry brown

[quasi wasp]

More Feedback than any linear imo

You instantly feel it when they are actuated

[unkempt dome]

Well I also don't like linear so

But laptop keyboard are even worse

[quasi wasp]

Did anyone try to put foam inside a spacebar keycap yet?

[quasi wasp]

Because I might try that to eliminate a certain resonance which I KNOW comes from the keycap

And why is barely anyone talking about the Kailh Box Reds? Aren't they pretty cheap and not in need of any lubing?

[royal patrol]

linear supremacy

[final belfry]

what do you think is a good alternative to something like MX blues? I really like the clicky sound, but don't like the "flat" and light feel of blues. I like the browns and also atm using romero-g that are brown-like, but i don't like the sound of either of those. romero-g is loud but not in a good way kind of loud. the feel is probably my favorite tough. I just miss the clicky sound

so what would be a mx blue alternative that feels a bit more "heavier"? normal blues are just a little too flat and empty feeling to me

[gilded gyro]

I mean if you like romer-g then idk what to recommend

[gilded gyro]

Gateron Green switch, Kailh Jade, Kailh Pale Blue

[quasi wasp]

@final belfry @gilded gyro but keep in mind that clickbar switches can actuate without clicking

[ionic briar]

they actuate before the click event yea

[final belfry]

not saying it's the best, just "ok"

I just miss a bit more heaviness on the cherry mx blues

[gilded gyro]

then go gateron green

[final belfry]

so all of those listed do that? but it's not such a big deal, right?

[final belfry]

allright thanks I'll take a look!

is there even a retail keyboard that comes with these I could buy?

I don't want to manually install the switches

so chery mx green could work as well?

https://youtu.be/yAKfJJCc0Ac?t=142

wow the spacebar sounds disgusting, even more than on my blue

[chrome raft]

why its rlly easy on hotswap

[chrome raft]

im pretty sure yes since the actuation force is the same

and there both tactile

[final belfry]

to me it's just that I'm ussually slamming my blues very hard and they start feeling a bit empty and flat

[chrome raft]

ok

then add some lube

[final belfry]

lol, it's probably not helping I've been using brown/romero-g at home and blues at work, so every day I am switching between the two

[chrome raft]

cherry greens u need up to 105g of force

[final belfry]

that is actually a lot

meh I think I'm probably just missing the bump

as always, it's one of the hardest choices to mankind because both are great in their own way

[chrome raft]

u can spring swap ur blues

or lube them

[final belfry]

you're really serious with that lube?

[chrome raft]

if you want smooth and non scratchly switches its the only way

and u can spring swap

[hard sonnet]

Oh no I get some products can be tested worse even from a good brand, I just mean that having a reliable company to help me when the product defects or anything like that will always be a big factor for me when buying a product

[hard sonnet]

Thanks :) I'll keep it in mind

[chrome raft]

varmilo is overpriced

[hard sonnet]

Then I hope they have good customer support :)

[chrome raft]

idk about customer support but there overpriced

[hard sonnet]

Oki

Can someone help me find the right keyboard?

[chrome raft]

ok so prebuilt or custom?

[hard sonnet]

I want an 80% or 75% keyboard, €100 budget, custom or prebuilt, no need for wireless

I was thinking of the Keychron K8-A3 but the shipping is €42 to europe

Also the K8 is optionally wireless, which obviously costs more then what I need to pay for what I'm looking for

[chrome raft]

keychron is for people who value wireless

[hard sonnet]

Oh

[chrome raft]

yeah

if u dont need wireless u cant get boards that have better keycaps, better stabs or better switches

[hard sonnet]

But not from Keychron?

So Durgod and Leopold is where I should look next?

[chrome raft]

im pretty sure every keychron keyboard has wireless

[hard sonnet]

Or what brands/specific products would you recommend?

[chrome raft]

ducky is also pretty gud

[hard sonnet]

C1 doesn't

[chrome raft]

are u into gaming or want rgb

[hard sonnet]

But it's not sold in my country unlike the K8

[hard sonnet]

I don't really care about rgb

[chrome raft]

almost every product they focus on wireless

ok

[hard sonnet]

And yeah I only play games and watch yt with it

And yes I value the arrow keys for yt :p

And for video editing actually if I ever get into that again

[chrome raft]

oh

do u need numpad

[hard sonnet]

Nah

[chrome raft]

ok then u should get tkl not 75% or 80%

if u have space

much easier to use and u dont need to learn how to use

[hard sonnet]

Isn't 80% the same as TKL?

[chrome raft]

yeah

[hard sonnet]

75% is also with arrow keys, right?

[chrome raft]

but there hard to use

like the left shift is cramped

[hard sonnet]

Ooh okay

[chrome raft]

there is a learning curve to 75%

but 80% is just ur standard regular keyboard

[hard sonnet]

Hmm yeah that'll be for me then

I don't even need the extra space from TKL anyways, I just don't feel like paying for the numpad

Do you have TKL recommendations?

[chrome raft]

im finding

[hard sonnet]

:) ty

[chrome raft]

what colour keycaps u want

[hard sonnet]

I don't care, maybe black/blue/grey/white

I like the color scheme on the Keychron K2, with White, Black and Red

[chrome raft]

do you need hotswap

like do you want to be able to replace your switches very easily

like without soldering

[hard sonnet]

Yeah I think I was linear wasd, shift and ctrl keys and the rest tactile

Ty zenith already explained what hotswap is :)

[chrome raft]

yes or no do you need hotswap

[hard sonnet]

Yes, because I want tactile and linear switches

[chrome raft]

ok thanks

[hard sonnet]

No u

[chrome raft]

hotswap is very hard to find tho lol

[hard sonnet]

Ohhh

[chrome raft]

ok what do you use ur keyboard for

[hard sonnet]

Then I'm not actually sure whether I want linear or tactile

[chrome raft]

gaming typing or both

[hard sonnet]

Gaming

[chrome raft]

only gaming

[hard sonnet]

Yeah I don't need to type comfortably, although actually I do care about the tactile switches when typing ok I did not thunk this through

Gaming and typing is the answer

[chrome raft]

so you do care about typing

[dull ore]

If you don't really care what it feels like, Tactile
If you wanna go for a safe bet, Linear

[chrome raft]

are you very space limited

[chrome raft]

tactile is probably a safe bet

some people hate linear for typing

[hard sonnet]

I'm not space limited, I use my fullsize not slanted

Or angled

[dull ore]

Tactile is much harder to get a nice feeling

A linear is easy enough

[chrome raft]

some people hate linears for typing

they would rather chose an average tactile over a good linear

[hard sonnet]

Oh I think I have tactile rn and it feels nice, but after long time it gets annoying

[chrome raft]

do you care about noise

[hard sonnet]

Yeah I want red or brown

[chrome raft]

so ur moderatly noise sensitive

[hard sonnet]

I prefer the tactile feeling, I don't like the effortlessness of linear when typing

[chrome raft]

exactly see some people dont like linears for typing

[hard sonnet]

It's why I almost failed my exams, yeah

[chrome raft]

ok so u dont need silent switches but also u dont want blues

[hard sonnet]

Yas

[chrome raft]

do you want a heavy switch

like a switch u need to press very hard on

[hard sonnet]

I like to hear a little feedback when clicking, but I tried blues and I don't like that

[chrome raft]

ok do you want a light, moderate or heavy switch

[hard sonnet]

I kinda like the heavy switches for typing, but for gaming I don't want it because that makes me really slow and it makes my fingers sore

[chrome raft]

so moderate switches

[hard sonnet]

Or both

[chrome raft]

??????

[hard sonnet]

Tactile mostly, but with linear QWEASD and Shift and Ctrl

[chrome raft]

ok cool so you want a moderatly heavy switch

or u want to do some spring swapping

[hard sonnet]

Oh no that's scary

[chrome raft]

ok so you just want a medium weight switch

not too heavy not too light

[hard sonnet]

I guess, but preferably hotswap

[chrome raft]

ok

black, white or colourful keycaps

or u dont care

[hard sonnet]

Not colourful :)

[chrome raft]

black or white

like what u prefer

[hard sonnet]

Don't really care, or don't know yet

[chrome raft]

trust me it makes a difference

like you dont want a white keyboard in a dark room

[hard sonnet]

I'm buying a new pc and am not sure whether the case is gonna be black or white

[chrome raft]

oh ok

[upbeat kayak]

i remember being recommenced a keyboard here a while back i and i dont remember the name
it was 60% had blue click switches and was about £40 does anyone have any ideas

[chrome raft]

is this ok with cherry browns

[hard sonnet]

Ooh yeah thatlooks good

[chrome raft]

ok sure

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3619&switch=cherry-mx-brown

there u go

[dull ore]

sounds like the GK61 to me

[fickle belfry]

The switches choice is really a personal preference imo.

[upbeat kayak]

maby

i think u right

[chrome raft]

yeah

[hard sonnet]

Oh but that's more expensive than the K8 :(

[chrome raft]

ur buget was higher than that

[hard sonnet]

True hehe

Okay thanks for the help!!

I'm not sure which one I want yet but I'll save this one

Tyouu

[chrome raft]

np

[hard sonnet]

I found an even better option for me than the K8 with Gateron brown and white light, it's the K8 with Keychron optical (which is a risk I'm interested in taking) with rgb backlighting, because I think I want a nice brown/red theme for my setup later

Also with the black pc case and orange/brown/dark green themed rgb

Maybe even a noctua gpu if they keep making those :))

[chrome raft]

what????

[hard sonnet]

Noctua colaborated with AMD iirc, and the gpu had the classic brown fans

Or Asus

[chrome raft]

ok well noctua sells fans

not gpus

[hard sonnet]

Iknoww but I think I'm gonna buy the 4000x case and I probably won't need any more fand with that

I might get a noctua cpu cooler though

[chrome raft]

yeah

[hard sonnet]

Jayztwocents has two videos from this month featuring the Noctua gpu

In the second one he ripped the fans of lol

Anyhow, I think I might buy the Keychron board with Keychron Optical switches, unless y'all know about some disadvantages I should hear about?

[chrome raft]

optical switches are a risk

[hard sonnet]

Because they're pretty new?

[chrome raft]

yeah

[ionic briar]

not really

[hard sonnet]

I think it'll be fine

[ionic briar]

its more you are limited to one brand of switches only

[hard sonnet]

Oh

I thought it was compatible with mx

[ionic briar]

due to the current state of optical where every one and their mom has a different proprietary execution on the optical part

[hard sonnet]

I see

[ionic briar]

the keycap mount are all cherry mx yea

but like, you cant swap in outemu opticals into a board that previously hosted gateron opticals

unless the construction is exactly the same

[hard sonnet]

Ahwell I don't mind getting all my switches from Keychron, although I gotta find out if I can ever get them in europe without paying €42 shipping

[ionic briar]

which country are you in?

[hard sonnet]

Netherlands

I can get the prebuilt keyboard here on Alternate

[ionic briar]

https://www.ergowerken.nl/brands/keychron/

[hard sonnet]

Ahyes I saw the ergowerken ones, but they were €12 for 12 instead of €4 for 12

So I thought that was kind of a scam

[ionic briar]

ah, for the switches?

[hard sonnet]

Yup

But actually that's fine because I might not even need to swap any

[ionic briar]

theres also a netherlands keyboard brand called wooting

[hard sonnet]

I'm gonna try the brown opticals first, then consider swapping my wasd with linear, and then I would even have spare linear and opticals if any other switches break

[ionic briar]

their hall effect keyboards are something pretty interesting imo

if you are looking at optical switches

[hard sonnet]

Oh my god I saw Wootingkb on instagram and it looked amazing, but I thought it was a complete scam because well, it was an instagram ad

[ionic briar]

chyrosran22 featured them in a review

[hard sonnet]

Oh sick they're legit?

[ionic briar]

a netherland keyboard reviewer btw

and yea

they are legit

[hard sonnet]

Imma go find a hall keyboard rn then, thanks!

[ionic briar]

you do def pay for the niche of hall effect switches
but the switch itself is way smoother than any contact based design stock to stock

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCDjQ0ooAE0

[hard sonnet]

They're out of stock and the only boards they're building or going to be buulding from now on are the Wooting Two HE fullsize or 60% version, neither of which is the size I'm looking for sadly

[ionic briar]

yea thats sadge

[hard sonnet]

Also those colours mildly disgust me, but I would actually love to try their LE switches if they bring out a black TKL board and have it in stock by next week😅

Okay thanks for the help either way, I think I'll just buy the hotswappable Keychron optical browns, and then hope they don't break +hope they feel nice enough for gaming so I won't mant to buy an extra set of linear opticals

[ionic briar]

yea

[chrome raft]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4262 i found a hall effect keyboard

its 60% + black

[ionic briar]

he needs a tkl tho

thats why all wooting lineup is not suited for him

[chrome raft]

oh yeah

[chrome raft]

yeah there are like 10000 tkl keebs

[quasi wasp]

How precise are analog optical switches? Hall effect switches won’t work in my idea because of the electromagnets used for actuation

[chrome raft]

im pretty sure there worse then mechanical

[quasi wasp]

Are there analog mechanical switches?

[chrome raft]

????

[quasi wasp]

What do you mean?

[chrome raft]

analog and mechanical are too opposites

mechanical is using mechanical stuff and analog is using light

[quasi wasp]

There are analog Hall effect switches too

[chrome raft]

ik

[quasi wasp]

Also I could imagine analog mechanical switches

[quasi wasp]

Why should they be worse for this application?

[chrome raft]

inconsistent

non-modular

expensive

[quasi wasp]

Inconsistent in what way?

[chrome raft]

reliability

[quasi wasp]

In what way are they unreliable?

[chrome raft]

stroke detection

[quasi wasp]

They do not detect strokes sometimes?

All of them?

[boreal rivet]

adjective
adjective: analog
relating to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position, voltage, etc.
"analogue signals"
(of a clock or watch) showing the time by means of hands or a pointer rather than displayed digits.
not involving or relating to the use of computer technology, as a contrast to a digital counterpart.
"old-school analogue paper map skills"

[chrome raft]

theoretically they can be better but currently there no

[chrome raft]

no

[quasi wasp]

Did you try all of them or what?

[chrome raft]

i idnd't

[quasi wasp]

Then how do you know?

[chrome raft]

im also pretty sure they have a worse feel and longgevity

[quasi wasp]

How are you so sure about that?

Btw optical gaterons are rated for twice the amount of key strokes

[chrome raft]

well they feel worse

im certain about that

[quasi wasp]

That's pretty much up to taste, probably, tho

And I NEED analog switches for this application

Otherwise variable force isn't really doable in a way that makes sense

Btw, what layout has a better market for custom builds: 60% or 65%?

[quasi wasp]

Probably 60%, because all the keys have standard length, right?

[quasi wasp]

You can only use them with their own boards, right?

[chrome raft]

60% by far

[chrome raft]

im pretty sure

[quasi wasp]

hm alright thx

[quasi wasp]

Are there any good 60% cases which also have bluetooth?

Because I would really like to have a wireless one

[boreal rivet]

No it's 75%

[quasi wasp]

wdym?

[boreal rivet]

Nvm

[quasi wasp]

The thing is that I already have a 75%

Do you find 6 key rollover limiting in any way?

[unkempt dome]

When do you press 6 keys at the exact same time on a keyboard ?

[quasi wasp]

In DAWs for example

[unkempt dome]

Don't know what daws is

[quasi wasp]

Digital Audio Workstation

[unkempt dome]

Never used that

Also does it limit you when you use it ?

[quasi wasp]

I don’t use it anymore

[unkempt dome]

Well that's about the answer to your question I guess

[quasi wasp]

The 4KO of my laptop keyboard limited me

[quasi wasp]

How so?

[quasi wasp]

When I used it as a note input device

[unkempt dome]

If you don't use the only thing that had more than 6key press at the exact same time on a keyboard then I guess 6key rollover is enough

[quasi wasp]

No I don’t use anything under NKRO

[quasi wasp]

That’s what I meant

[quasi wasp]

Why are there no custom keyboard cases with wireless capabilities?

And does the GMMK Pro really sound bad?

[quasi wasp]

Thx for the link, does appear to have issues tho

*typo

[fickle belfry]

Did see some comments on them, but on the pre-built versions. These are barebones. Case ,PCB and stabs. Would get new stabs for sure, but the rest is up to your choice of switches and caps.

[quasi wasp]

It’s made out of plastic, right? Is that an issue?

Would it sound better if it was made out aluminium?

[chrome raft]

depends on what you value

aluminum is more durable and more premium but acrylic is better for rgb and thocc

[potent void]

Uh.. nice name

[chrome raft]

thanks its supposed to be invisible on pc, mac or linux

[potent void]

Seems ios has defeated it

[chrome raft]

no its not supposed to be invisible on mobile

i would change it

[unkempt dome]

Same for android

[quasi wasp]

Thx

Why better for RGB?

[unkempt dome]

Shine through the case

[chrome raft]

ok mods change my name

[chrome raft]

u can see rgb from outside

translucent

[unkempt dome]

I like the sound of plastic better but it's preference

[quasi wasp]

But not all plastic boards are transparent

[unkempt dome]

I got my switches
https://en.akkogear.com/product/akko-cs-sponge-switch-45pcs/

Will try those this week end

[chrome raft]

i said acrylic

[quasi wasp]

That case isn't out of acrylic, right?

[chrome raft]

yeah

[quasi wasp]

But why do you bring it up, then

[chrome raft]

idk im stupid

[quasi wasp]

no worries

[fickle belfry]

@unkempt dome Hope they feel and sound as good as they look 😎

@quasi wasp my case is made of 3 acrylic layers. Synthetic materials do produce a more thoccy sound then metal cases unless it's an hollow case without sound dempener materials to fill the void.

[hard sonnet]

Are Cherry keyboards any good?

[urban glade]

which

[hard sonnet]

Alternate is offering €40 and €30 discounts for my country rn

Lemme see

[urban glade]

most of the modern ones i'd probably say aren't

but there are good vintage ones

[hard sonnet]

Cherry G80-3000S TKL

Is it goood?

[chrome raft]

i thought they only sold switches

[slim crater]

Thoughts on Apex Pro TKL and G915 TLK? I’m looking for a new TLK keyboard

[fickle belfry]

What are your expectations from a keyboard. Generic Plug and play or you want to be able to upgrade your keyboard over time ?

[slim crater]

I’ve had my current keyboard for 2 years and I’m looking for a upgrade, looking to get something nice 100-200 USD range that will last line

For schoolwork/gaming

I’m thinking about maybe a custom keyboard but I’m not sure where to start

[slim crater]

Also frames like this

[pallid trout]

Low-profile?

[slim crater]

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s it’s called but I prefer it

[pallid trout]

Yeah low-profile bezel

[ionic island]

whats the difference between 205g2 and 205g0

[ionic briar]

Viscosity
205g2 is thicker than 205g0

[ionic island]

Is it good for linears

Because I ordered 205g0 but got 205g2 instead

[ionic briar]

Its fine
You have to be precise with the amount you applied

[quasi wasp]

Gateron yellow vs black?

[ionic briar]

Weighting preference, gat yellow is lighter than gat black

[quasi wasp]

But they feel about as smooth?

The black ones are so much cheaper somehow

[ionic island]

How much

[quasi wasp]

Like 1/3 the price lmao

[ionic briar]

Weird.
Where are you buying from?

[quasi wasp]

Germany

[ionic briar]

https://candykeys.com/product/gateron-yellow-ks-9

Your gateron black vendor is cheaper than this?

[ionic island]

whats the best way to lube a switch

i tried lubing a broken one but it still sounded scratchy

nvm i used the wrong one

HOLY SHI- IT SOUNDS GOOD

[hollow kettle]

😋

[quasi wasp]

Only a bit

Compared to that offer

[quasi wasp]

Is that with VAT?

BTW is it a Fire hazard to foam mod Bluetooth keyboards?

[fierce chasm]

no (ok kinda yes)

i mean theres like a 0.2% chance it will happen but eh

unless if it is from wish

[quasi wasp]

0.2% is a considerable risk

[fierce chasm]

yup

i mean if you got it from wish than it would be a bomb

[quasi wasp]

Is it really that high?

[fierce chasm]

otherwise yea as long as you dont frick up wires

[fierce chasm]

idk maybe

eh im not good at math

there will be a risk

[quasi wasp]

I don’t want a risk

Why can’t I have nice things ☹️

[fierce chasm]

i mean you are moding stuff

bent switch pins are common believe it or not, but those are made out of the purest metal ever you could just punch them back so they look non bent

[quasi wasp]

I would only get another keyboard if it was wireless

[quasi wasp]

Nice

[fierce chasm]

aight ima go see you when nivida makes a cpu

just dont punch a hole thru the battery you should be fine

[quasi wasp]

Lmao

[quasi wasp]

Huh?

[fierce chasm]

mb

[quasi wasp]

Oh i c

Aren’t they already doing this?

[fierce chasm]

nvidia cpus ?

[quasi wasp]

Yeah

[fierce chasm]

for ai or smth idk but like a cpu cpu like amd intel kind

[quasi wasp]

Hm alright

Is it impossible to get a thoccy keyboard without foam modding it?

[fierce chasm]

you can but reverb with make it sound less thoccy

it depends on alot of things

[quasi wasp]

So I can’t have nice things

[fierce chasm]

work for it

[quasi wasp]

How?

[fierce chasm]

lube 104 switch

[quasi wasp]

☹️

[quasi wasp]

Wdym?

[fierce chasm]

every single leaf

you gotta lube da switch man

[quasi wasp]

But the foam?

[fierce chasm]

make it sound good and smooth

foam yes it will effect it

but adding foam doesnt make a razer green turn into black inks

[quasi wasp]

But not worth my house burning to the ground

[quasi wasp]

Oh wow those are cheaper than gateron blacks

[fierce chasm]

dude just idk anything about how battery kaboom man just dont take my word in explosives

[fierce chasm]

all i can say is this

[quasi wasp]

Are black inks your favorites?

[fierce chasm]

yup

[quasi wasp]

Why? I don’t know too many switches

[fierce chasm]

you are going in the rabbit hole rn

this is my warning

(it cost a kidney)

anyways yes blackinks good smooth

[quasi wasp]

Oh dear

[quasi wasp]

Nice

More so than gateron yellows?

Because black inks are much cheaper here

[fierce chasm]

since when is blakc inks cheaper

what

i mean switches are kinda a me thing

you might like yellows more

but since inks are cheaper then yea go for it

[quasi wasp]

Oh no wait it’s cheaper because it’s on banggood

I never bought from there

The prices are extremely sus to me

[fierce chasm]

buget build get yellows

bang for buck good switches for money

[quasi wasp]

I would probably go for gateron blacks because these are included in a GK61XS

[fierce chasm]

hot swap ?

wait im dumb

[quasi wasp]

They’re super expensive in Germany somehow

[fierce chasm]

man u in germany? (brain not work)

[quasi wasp]

Yup

[fierce chasm]

health care must be good there

[quasi wasp]

It is haha

Mostly

The internet is kinda bad tho

[fierce chasm]

i mean 50000 dollars for a half broken pinkie or 80 ping

[quasi wasp]

Haha

Yeah I guess I’d rather take the 80 ping

[fierce chasm]

just dont go to deep down the rabit hole and get 8 keyboards

[quasi wasp]

Yeah I don’t even know if I’m gonna get a second one

Actually content already with the one I currently have

Although most people here would probably hate it

(Unmodded AKKO 3084 9009 wired with Cherry MX blue switches)

Maybe you could call my mask thing a mod tho

[fierce chasm]

i have 3

2 of them are local brands

[quasi wasp]

Nice

[fierce chasm]

"edra"

1 is from mitsumi

super old

usues a ps2 connecto

but me like pressing on keyboard that belongs to an office that is older than me

[quasi wasp]

Noice

[shell relic]

Hyper x keyboards are pretty good

[chrome raft]

no they just sell overpriced gamer stuff

[shell relic]

Idk I like them

Overpriced? Sure. But they are pretty solid, I could wack someone in the head and it'll be fine

[chrome raft]

bruh dude u cound smack a plastic keyboard on a head and it will be fine

[rancid sun]

Hi, i am very new to the keyboard scene and i don't know which keyboards is good for me. I want to know if there's any keyboards that's satisfying to type in and gaming, no weird sound and good stabilitization.

[gilded gyro]

Apex Pro TKL

if you like Linears

[chrome raft]

best bet is to go custom

or you can buy topre

idk if its good but i heard many people say its good

also are cherry mx clears any good?

[gilded gyro]

God tier linear but unlike the Wooting it's actually available?

[chrome raft]

overpriced gamer keybaord

[gilded gyro]

I don't think so, the switches are very good

Just needs some modding

they're Hall Effect switches, and I'm very sure it's all of them

[chrome raft]

bruh u can buy a cheap $55 barebones keyboard and get some lube some swiches

[gilded gyro]

it's all of them

lubed switches aren't as good as hall effect though

It's like comparing a ferrari to a mustang

and not like mustang the car

mustang the horse

[chrome raft]

its like 200 bucks??

[gilded gyro]

the tkl is like 150 at amazon

for an endgame tier linear I'd say pretty good price

[chrome raft]

$150 dollars for a tkl that doesnt even sound thocky

[gilded gyro]

it's all of them

all of them are hall effect

[rancid sun]

So thock = 100% good?

[gilded gyro]

do you like linear? if yes then Wooting or Apex Pro. No? Then go like custom

[chrome raft]

it sound really really good

[gilded gyro]

or if you don't have money get one of those Akko prebuilt keyboards

I'd say no

maybe compared to like lubed higher end linears

that's like 150$ for just the switches

18 cents per piece

• 87

[chrome raft]

optical switches just dont feel that good compared to a well-lubed high end mechanical switch

[gilded gyro]

Hall Effect aren't excactly opticals

they're different

[chrome raft]

analog opticals?

[gilded gyro]

Yeah I put the numbers in my calculator wrong @hasty saffron

[chrome raft]

15 dollar switch testers only contain like 6 switches

[gilded gyro]

ngl idk why people like care alot about keyboard sound. As long as the stabs don't rattle and the switches don't make ping sounds you ain't hearing yourself type with like a good pair of IEMs or Headphones

Wooting is built very well

[chrome raft]

what idea?????

[gilded gyro]

it they have the money

and like the patience

[rancid sun]

I have decided, i just want a keyboard that is stable and won't do anything weird. (And keyboards that is not from "Yeah but does your spacebar sound this bad")

[chrome raft]

ok and there are about 40 different switches in each catagory

[rancid sun]

and it's not membrane

[gilded gyro]

Tecware Phantom @rancid sun

[rancid sun]

AND it has good registeration

[chrome raft]

can each feels slightly differnet

[gilded gyro]

non-dustproof Outemu, lubed stabs, like actually lubed stabs

good enough beginner keyb

[chrome raft]

@rancid sun ok tell me ur buget first

[gilded gyro]

for like 50$

Tecware Phantom is best option for beginners

you can even put like AKKO CS in it

since it's Outemu hot swap

[chrome raft]

ok then what spring does the person like

[gilded gyro]

I mean it's 49$ it wins by default at the price

[chrome raft]

and then the lube

[gilded gyro]

since like everything else doesn't even have lubed stabs

which it does

[rancid sun]

Alright, since my budget is unlimited (This pc and kb combo is my reward for graduating), i'd say 200 dollars max.

[gilded gyro]

How much is a polycarb kit

What can you get at taobao at like 49$ with Gaterons and lubed stabs?

[chrome raft]

yeah

[gilded gyro]

mw65 comes with lubed stabs?

oh wow that's nice

[quasi wasp]

My akko 3084 came with pre lubed stabs

What are the effects of a gasket mount?

Hm

I feel like the same people would find it to be bad if it only was a thing on cheap boards

[quasi wasp]

So some people?

[chrome raft]

pre lubed stabs suck

[quasi wasp]

Why?

[chrome raft]

they just worse then lubing them urself

[quasi wasp]

Doesn’t mean they suck

Often times people say with certain keyboards that you won’t have to lube the stabs again

[quasi wasp]

Why do people like coiled cables so much? I don't really see the point of the coil tbh

[quasi wasp]

how so?

I mean why not just get a cable of the same length

While coiled up

[chrome raft]

flexing

bragging rights

a coiled cable can cost upwards of 69 dollars

[quasi wasp]

hm alright

Why does it not get tangled up as much?

Because of the braiding?

[boreal rivet]

Coiled cables are only there for aesthetics

Completely useless

The coil won't even hold its shape if you stretch it

[quasi wasp]

I see thx

astonishing

Btw who thought that it would be a good idea to put play dough into your keycaps and kayboard?

Have fun with the crumbs all over your board in 3 weeks

[quasi wasp]

But why? The rest of the cable is an uncoiled cable

And how do those keyboards shown in sound test videos sound in real life?

But why the coil, then

Hm

I mean it makes sense that having a weight there would help

Doesn't have to be a coil, tho

hm alright thx for the info

[unkempt dome]

Well i put the akko sponge and now there's two stabilized key that have a tendency to sick down ... I'll have to check that out this week end and see if some relubing of the stabs can fix it ... maybe it's just some tolerances of the keycaps that is messed up, will also try with another keycap set

I can tell that those have barely no key wobble and that might be the cause of the problem specially since the switches has a box around the stem ... it's probably the stem getting stuck slightly on the housing of the switch ... well I'll have to investigate about that when I have time

As for the switches themselves the tactile bump is really strong ... can't really feel the second bump as what it is cause it's so small ... it feels more like a plateau than a second bump ...

Then again I haven't use them long enough to form a good opinion on them yet

[chrome raft]

U4t bobas dourlock v2 mixxed with cherry stabs holee modded gmk red samurai keycaps boring old usb c cable

[potent void]

That looks great

[opaque granite]

where can i find good keyboard PCB's?

[quasi wasp]

What would you think about a deskmat which exactly matches the size of your keyboard layout and has got a sizeable battery and bluetooth transceiver inside of it?

So that you can make any keeb wireless

[chrome raft]

Here

Most people get deskmats because they look cool and they make you keyboard "thockier". So if there is a battery inside of it, it would make the sound uneven and weird.

[quasi wasp]

Only in the middle, NOT under the feet

That shouldn't make any difference

[chrome raft]

Maybe not that much I geuss

[chrome raft]

And most deskmats you can roll up and take them anywhere (even 900 x 400 x 4)

And how would you make the keyboard connect to the bluetooth thing if its wired only.

[quasi wasp]

That you could definitely not here

[quasi wasp]

A nifty port on the top of the mat, embedded inside of it

Would need its own cable so that the space suffices

RGB keyboards with really beefy LEDs might be an issue, tho

Because 5W is a considerable power draw

For the battery

[unkempt dome]

I don't care much for wireless keyboard specially on a desktop

[urban glade]

rgb bad

[quasi wasp]

Maybe others do

It looks cleaner

And it’s handy if you haven’t got much space

[chrome raft]

But how does the keyboard connect to it.

[quasi wasp]

With a cable?

[chrome raft]

Oh

[quasi wasp]

Yeah

[chrome raft]

Here

I dont like the idea of the deskmat because it seems annoying to bring with your keyboard

[quasi wasp]

Where do you bring it?

[chrome raft]

no where really

im 13

[quasi wasp]

But I guess that it wouldn’t be THAT bad to carry

Better than the keyboard itself

[chrome raft]

Heres just a question

What would you be using the keyboard on that needs to be wireless?

Like maybe a phone or ipad

Like you could just use the keyboard on the screen.

And if your willing to make these I would be happy to invest!

[quasi wasp]

Wdym?

[chrome raft]

Why do you need wireless so badly?

[quasi wasp]

It’s handy

Oh the mat could have hardware for macros and stuff inside it too

[chrome raft]

Yes but why would you need it if your on pc and already have a deskmat and fine with using a cable?

[quasi wasp]

Not everyone needs this

[chrome raft]

I only see it being usefull on phone or somone elses computer

[quasi wasp]

Not everyone needs to need this

[chrome raft]

ok

[quasi wasp]

But some might want it idk

[quasi wasp]

Also for switching the device

Could also have versions with integrated wrist rests

[valid sigil]

I'm considering getting the Redragon K589 to replace my current keyboard. It has hot swapable low profile Outemu switches. If I de-solder the low profile cherry switches from my old keyboard, will I be able to transplant them to the new one?

[chrome raft]

WAIT

DID YOU BUY IT YET?

[valid sigil]

Not yet.... Why?

[chrome raft]

Ok

If you get it will you be planning on upgrading it?

[unkempt dome]

I don't speak for the others, I only say that I see no interest in such thing

[valid sigil]

I saw one review that said the linear switches felt a little heavy or stiff. If that's the case, then yes.

[unkempt dome]

No you will have to desolder the outemu hotswap socket too

[valid sigil]

Bummer... good to know.

[unkempt dome]

You can fit other outemu switches, akko switches and boba switches as far as I know

[valid sigil]

Currently using the LP cherry mx speed switches on the K70 LP MK2 (the layout is non-standard and the keycap stems are prone to breaking). What would you recommend that would be similar?

[chrome raft]

So if you get it do you want to upgrade it?

Just a yes or no

[valid sigil]

Probably. Only if the actuation force too stiff.

[chrome raft]

OK if its too stiff what will you do to change it?

[valid sigil]

Replace them...

[chrome raft]

Ok

the hotswap sockets dont work with

every switch

you can only use otomu switches

Mr @valid sigil

Do you need the full size?

[valid sigil]

Yes, I do a lot of CAD and spreadsheet work.

[chrome raft]

Oh...

[chrome raft]

Why are you looking at this keyboard in particular?

Here I'll make it easyier.
1 your a gamer and spreadsheet worker.
2 you want a mechanical budget full size keyboard.
3 you are 2 and 1

[chrome raft]

what are the difference feeling wise in outemu reds and gateron reds?

like, do they feel mostly the same?

I'm thinking of getting the RK855, the tm680 I bought was broken but I did get a full refund

[granite thicket]

anyone know anything about glorious lynxes?

[chrome raft]

Ok

outmu reds might be mushyer and more scracthy

@chrome raft gateron reds have a lower actuation force so they will be more "GaMeRy"

😉

I'm trying to gather as much information as possible, could you please help me out?

last last time I bought a hot swap keyboard

I bought it because it was the only hotswap in a physical store near me

and it bit me in my behind

the switches are really hard to pull out

and once I did pull it out, I discovered the pcb is outemu only

I only had gaterons at hand

any keyboard recommendation to avoid my mistake? budget of 55-79USD, I like 65%-80% keyboard, hot swap capability, ability to remove pcb from case, and gateron pcb is deeply preferable, I live in southeast asia

[clear socket]

Anyone know a good custom keyboard website that builds it for you?

[agile minnow]

Are all switches the same swap-wise, I have a outemu keyboard and wanted to swap them out for cherrymx switches, will they physically fit?

[unkempt dome]

Get akko switches or boba switches

[unkempt dome]

Varmilo

[unkempt dome]

No they are not

Cherry won't fit outemu hotswap socket

Get akko or boba switches to fit in the outemu hotswap socket

[chrome raft]

I decided I shall get the tecware b68, there's one available in my city so I don't have to worry about shipping, thanks anyway

im gonna get akko pinks for my k552

oh hey

long time no chat

yea

hello there

i now have nitro

[granite thicket]

anyone know anything about glorious lynxes?

[quasi wasp]

Thx for the feedback

[gilded gyro]

B68 is universal hot swap

[chrome raft]

any personal thoughts on it?

[gilded gyro]

5 pin universal

[gilded gyro]

It's just a GK68 but cheaper

nothing wrong with it

Personally I like the Tecware Phantom Elite

but up to you, if you like 68 keys over say TKL then yeah it's great

[chrome raft]

Will this work with the 5 pin?

[gilded gyro]

Yes

[ionic island]

does lubing switches reduce case ping

[quasi wasp]

The case ping would probably sound different because the input signal is different

[boreal rivet]

What the hell are you saying

[quasi wasp]

If the wave which is reverberated is different the reverberation will sound different too

What differentiates a bad stab from a good stab?

[ionic briar]

I would say mainly how rattle it is before and after modding.

[boreal rivet]

Next time just say it'll sound different, making things complicated doesn't make you look smart.

[chrome raft]

Yes

[high mauve]

hello

does anyone have a razer keyboard?

bcs mine , after i lock windows and unlock it after a couple of minutes the lightning is stuck and razer synapse no longer shows the keyboard, but it still works. And to make the lightning work again , i have to unplug then plug again. This problem does not always happen.

[chrome raft]

yooo imma need to check that out

[boreal rivet]

they charge 40 euro to put some switches into hotswap sockets and screw in the pcb

its so easy to diy now, you dont even need to buy a soldering iron nowadays

[high mauve]

?

[quasi wasp]

Thx

[boreal rivet]

what makes a stab good is if it comes preclipped and if the wire is balanced properly

[quasi wasp]

If you do only explain things to make yourself look smart, speak for yourself

[boreal rivet]

all stabilisers when tuned enough will not rattle

[boreal rivet]

and when do I do that?

[violet geyser]

should i buy gateron tellows over akko rose reds, and how much the shipping costs from akko's website?(i live in israel)

ok what about shipping

helpful

[boreal rivet]

you want people to hand everything to you on a golden platter or something?

[violet geyser]

???????

just asking for a price

[boreal rivet]

and how would we know????

[violet geyser]

nvm not needing you dickhead atidude

your

[boreal rivet]

LOL 👌

you don't know how to check for shipping to your country so you need us to feed it to you?

[pallid trout]

We can't really tell you.
Depends on the courier, your location, the state of the shipping environment right now, etc.

Honestly it's just easier to see the shipping price by entering the shop's checkout page and looking up shipping there.

[boreal rivet]

If they don't ship to Israel maybe try aliexpress

[boreal rivet]

[gilded gyro]

or Just get a HyperX Origins at that point

[boreal rivet]

what did you expect us to do

convince them to do so?

[gilded gyro]

[pallid trout]

Well then we can't tell you what shipping will cost. You will have to find a shop who can ship to you.

[violet geyser]

Hey so this is keyboard connected but I noticed that because I have fairly large hands I use my left hand for the VAST majority of letters on my keyboard while my right hand is only responsible for jklmniop

Do you guys know of any platform or something for practicing "proper" typing?

[chrome raft]

just look up learntotype

it shoud show up something

[quasi wasp]

You kinda implied that I did that, that was uncalled for

[boreal rivet]

but you did?

[urban glade]

[ionic island]

thanks it reduced mine lmao

[quasi wasp]

Glad to hear that!

[quasi wasp]

Why do you think that? Because that would be the reason if you did it?

[boreal rivet]

Damn it's like you could've said "lubing the springs while probably make it sound different" instead of "The case ping would probably sound different because the input signal is different"

[quasi wasp]

Why?

Why is this so important to you?

[boreal rivet]

Because its the simplest method of articulating your opinion?

[boreal rivet]

I should be asking you this question

Everyone can see you're being a poser but you keep going

[chrome raft]

Ok

[quasi wasp]

I‘m just gonna ignore your comments regarding this matter, this is absolutely ridiculous @boreal rivet

[boreal rivet]

Do what you want, I really don't care 🤷‍♂️.

[quasi wasp]

Guess I found the drama queen of this server

[chrome raft]

Yup

[chrome raft]

please shut up

no offence

[chrome raft]

I can put hyperx pudding keycaps on a coolermaster mk750 right

Yes you can

I have those keycaps but a different keyboard, They should be able to fit

[chrome raft]

I don't know, but you can check keycaps compatibility by the type of the keycap mount.
