[deep wigeon]

Individual key rgb

[fringe geode]

i can't find the specs

nvm

those are blue switches

the exact opposite of what i want

[deep wigeon]

Ah i didnt see what switches you want

[fringe geode]

preferrably red, but i can work with silent red or silver speed

[chrome raft]

[deep wigeon]

i actually think it looks quite good, unfortunately i can only find it with red switches from the uk

[chrome raft]

~100usd

they have other colors and switches

this is like in between the compact

and full layout

arrow keys are still separated

which is nice

[fringe geode]

eh

so far i'm still going for the rk920

i'm reading the reviews right now

[chrome raft]

alright good luck

you can change switches later on

outemu silents are decent

[fringe geode]

i can buy it with cherry mx reds on it already

i don't think i'll dislike them

[tender jungle]

Getting my First mechanical Keyboard today, a Roccat Ryos MK Glow. Any thoughts on it?

[chrome raft]

sure its cherry mx red?

[tender jungle]

Heard that blue switches are loud af

[chrome raft]

and not RK Reds?

yea i can't give my opinion too much on gaming styled keyboards

[fringe geode]

a review said the blue switches were cherry mx blue

i'm assuming the red ones are cherry mx reds

[clever saffron]

I’ve got a Corsair keyboard with cherry mx speed silver rgb, and I’m just curious how I could get rid of that spring resonance/echo sound, would key switch lube be the answer? Except the switches are soldered down so I couldn’t open them up

[chrome raft]

lube the springs

and add foam inside the board to eliminate hollowness

you can desolder them

[clever saffron]

Is there any way to get around desoldering them?

[chrome raft]

nope

[fringe geode]

i finally settled down on a keyboard

i'm about to buy it, but i just want to do a last check

is there anything important i should know about the redragon k618 horus?

[coral gull]

Good 60% or 65% keyboards for 70 USD? or less lol

[chrome raft]

Redragon is fine also

its what i used like some weeks ago

still alive today after 2 years

gonna mod it and give to GF with some akko CS switches

[worldly shale]

barebones or fully built?

[coral gull]

Are there any that are barebones for that price?

[worldly shale]

tom680 sells for about that price iirc

[coral gull]

Oh wait I mean fully built then

Because the switches are like 30ish right

And keycaps are more

[boreal heart]

NONONONONINONONO the pcb is trash it dies so fast I’m not exaggerating

[boreal heart]

U could get cheap caps

[coral gull]

Fully built is what im looking for then ig

[worldly shale]

that was the 1st batch. new one comes with higher tolerances afaik

[boreal heart]

Wait really

[worldly shale]

yeah

[boreal heart]

Oh

When will they release them?

[worldly shale]

they

woops

they're the ones that are on the market rn

i'm pretty sure

[boreal heart]

Ok

[boreal heart]

Get a ducky one 3 mini

[worldly shale]

fully built boards i reccomend are the gamakay k61 and the redraggon fizz. if you're willing to go full bluetooth barebones, get a tester68 for 15-20$ and use the rest of the money on keycaps and switches

[coral gull]

could you guys possibly link me something I could buy prebuilt or parts to make a keyboard

Preferably the case with the pcb, keycaps and switches

Have you heard of the rk61?

[boreal heart]

No the tester is bad I feel like I haven’t tried it but for that cheap the pcb will be as worse as the tm680 1st batch

[worldly shale]

never heard any problems with it though

[boreal heart]

Ye

[boreal heart]

They just released

Lmao

[coral gull]

This?

https://m.aliexpress.com/i/1005003501754561.html?gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite

Is the rk61 a good option also?

[worldly shale]

i doubt it considering that the tester61 just seems like a rebranded GK68 with no wires. everyone i know who's bought one has been fairly satisfied with it

[worldly shale]

yeah

[coral gull]

This one https://m.banggood.com/Royal-Kludge-RK61-Mechanical-Keyboard-61-Keys-bluetooth-5_0-Wired-Dual-Mode-RGB-Gaming-Keyboard-p-1353613.html?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_organic&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&gmcCountry=NZ&utm_content=minha&utm_content=lynna&utm_campaign=minha-nz-en-mb&utm_campaign=lynna-ssc-nz-en-backup-all-0115&currency=NZD&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&ID=5156316287845&ad_id=491700170368&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7NnzoNvl9AIVMpNmAh1PIwZsEAQYBCABEgJC0fD_BwE

[worldly shale]

rk61 is the same as the reddragon fizz afaik

different case that looks better imo but most 60% budget boards will be the same

[worldly shale]

you will have to modify the stabs- stock stabs on cheap prebuilts will always suck, but other than that the RK is pretty good. as much as possible try and get the hotswap version to mod it easier lol

[coral gull]

I'm pretty sure it's hotswap

and also I don't think I'm gonna change anything like it's not gonna be bad stock right?

[worldly shale]

rattly stabs but it'll be fine stock yeah

[coral gull]

Wait it actually doesn't say anything about hotswap

Where???

[worldly shale]

then try and look for a listing that specifically says it's hotswap

also, mxtt, are you buying just from aliexpress?

[coral gull]

Isn't all the rk61's hotswap though?

[worldly shale]

no

you have to specifically get one that says it's hotswap

[coral gull]

Oh wait it isn't hotswap

damn

[worldly shale]

the one on amazon is

https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Ultra-Compact-Switch-White/dp/B0832CZNS5/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1B6U05DPR8PPJ&keywords=60%25%2Bpercent%2Bkeyboard&qid=1639568509&sprefix=60%25%2B%2Caps%2C413&sr=8-3&th=1

this 1

[coral gull]

Sorry wang were the other ones you said were good?

Or maybe the parts

[worldly shale]

womier boards are a little more expensive than 70$ but those boards are full acrylic with hotswap

[worldly shale]

tester68

tester68 with any cheap switch- afaik it's 20$ in the US if that's where you're located plus keycaps would probably total to under 70

[coral gull]

I'm kinda clueless with keybaords could you please send the links to them.

If that's fine

[worldly shale]

akko also sells pretty nice prebuilts with artisan keycaps. i think their world tour 60% hotswap board is like 70$

https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Ultra-Compact-Switch-White/dp/B0832CZNS5/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1B6U05DPR8PPJ&keywords=60%25%2Bpercent%2Bkeyboard&qid=1639568509&sprefix=60%25%2B%2Caps%2C413&sr=8-3&th=1

https://m.aliexpress.com/i/1005003501754561.html?gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite

here are the ones i'd reccomend

[coral gull]

Thank you

[worldly shale]

np

[coral gull]

That's actually really cheap?

Is it like bad quality you think

[worldly shale]

nope. i have 2 of them coming in and i've never heard any complaints from people who own them

[coral gull]

Oh ir doesn't have a backlight does it?

[worldly shale]

nope

[coral gull]

And last thing do you think it will like a year or 2?

[worldly shale]

it hasn't even been out for that long but as long as you take care of it i'm pretty sure it'll be fine. i've had more expensive pcbs die on me for no reason but these seem to be ojk

*ok

[coral gull]

Wait no last last thing. So you recon I should buy the keyboard and then buy my own keycaps and switches

thanks

[worldly shale]

yeah this doesn't come with them

those are up to you now but if you want any budget switches, JWICKs and akko CS series switches are good

also everything from KTT but i have no idea whether they're available there or not

[coral gull]

What switches are the ones that come with it sorry

And thanks for all your helo

Help*

[worldly shale]

i don't know. they look like they could be akko radiant reds but since i'm not able to read it i can't be sure

mx reds don't look like that

no mx switch i know has a red bottom. i'm half sure those are just akko radiant reds but unless the reviews or the listing say so i can't be sure

[coral gull]

Thank you

Isn't this membrane

Are you sure?

[worldly shale]

it is

this is a membrane board bro

if it was mechanical you'd be able to see the switches

[coral gull]

ikr

@open widget can I see please

[worldly shale]

bro it says it's membrane on the listing

huuh

[coral gull]

what?

no don't get a dslr for a web cam

[worldly shale]

what does this have to do with that board being a membrane i'm lost

[coral gull]

It's not worth it to get a expensave camera for a webcam

Unless your a streamer

Average views?

bruh

proof?

[worldly shale]

bro it says you're 9

[coral gull]

where is your twitch?

Bro you litterly have all your socials linked

[worldly shale]

your bio says that you're 9 in there bro

[coral gull]

And your getting a dslr

No offense unless you have like a decent amount of concurrent viewers

you shouldn't get a dslr

[chrome raft]

womier / akko / royal kludge actually good

i would just recommend changing thes stabs tho

to cherry plate mount stabs and doing the holee mod, can be found in youtube

[clever saffron]

Idk how many people will have this issue here, but Corsair refuses to add modifier key support to Macros for most of there keyboards, because as it turns out they recently added it to the k65 mini which is a tiny keyboard so it needs it obviously, but they still don’t have support for any of their other keyboards

Just so obnoxious that you have to do this stupid profile switching trick to do something as simple as shift+key for a macro

[tender coyote]

anyone used the kemove software before?

[chrome raft]

that person already bought the reddragon im pretty sure

[unkempt dome]

I have the snowfox but never used the software ... I think minimalistic review of the snow fox shows a bit about the software

[rare bone]

here is the final plan for my build. not buying just yet cus of christmas shopping bein a b but after my old rig has sold I'm doing all this

[gleaming atlas]

Noticed that on the K100 which feels stupid. Like if they just let you do modifiers you wouldn't even need to swap profiles.

[fallen mauve]

akko cs ocean blues vs jelly blues?

[unkempt dome]

Akko lavender purple ...

[sharp aspen]

can I ask about mice here? Is that legal?

[radiant thunder]

#tech-chat-1 #tech-chat-2

[chrome raft]

[obtuse swift]

Kemove Snowfox DK61 good for £92

[maiden dagger]

clicks and clacks

[chrome raft]

anyone have a link to replacement screws for kemove shadow

i lost mine

[ionic briar]

you lost the screws that secure the plate to the case?

[chrome raft]

yep

;-;

[ionic briar]

https://www.kemovebbs.com/Thread-Plate-Screw-Specifications
cant load the page in a fast manner smh, but i found this

[chrome raft]

yea alr found that but im not sure which ones

https://www.amazon.com/Tapping-Assortment-Fasteners-Stainless-Phillips/dp/B08J85TQB4/ref=pd_pb_ss_no_hpb_1/147-1804942-6204548?

would these work?

[agile minnow]

How's the Logitech g513

[ionic briar]

anything will work, you just need to find the screw that matches the specification listed on that page

[chrome raft]

pretty sure those will work

@fallen mauve

shit im very sorry i misclicked

sorry mr tripp

@unkempt dome would those work?

also sorry for the ping

[quiet shore]

It depends which switches and what you are looking to do with it. I bought the romer-g tactile variant when they still had it and I loved it. One day tried modding it and I ended up braking it somehow, so I bought another identical one lol. Most people did not like the romer-g switches but I personally loved them, especially for playing games. I also bought the gx brown switches for the office and I love that one for typing. If anything, the g513 comes with the BEST wrist rest I have ever had. It is a shame Logitech does not sell it separately.

[chrome raft]

glorious makes some good wristrests ive heard

[spiral heron]

kinda overpriced imo

[quiet shore]

The one downside thought is that I did not like any of the gx switches for gaming, so if that is all you going to be using it for, I say get the G Pro X because of the hotswap sockets and it's the same price.

[chrome raft]

if u can find a evga z15 for 40 bucks

its hotswap

[quiet shore]

Looked those up and they look decent, but it is foam and fabric. The g513 is foam and leather, which I prefer. And also, no logos on the top lol

[chrome raft]

ooh fancy

good logitech

im probz gonna use my kemove shadow for gaming and this full size for learning to code/school

bc full size

[quiet shore]

yeah full size is a must for working/coding. I had a co-worker who brought his 65% to the office everyday and we still talk about him every day, long after he has left lmao

[chrome raft]

oof

i still like my 60% for typing just kuz im used to it mor, but im getting used to the other switches slowly

anyways imma head out nice talking to u

[quiet shore]

certainly!

[tall karma]

laughs in 36 keys for work

[spiral heron]

if you have a 60 or 65% with a decent layout then it's more than enough for coding... just set up decent layers and shortcuts

[worldly shale]

tester68 came in. board is surprisingly great stock

[outer citrus]

Am I basic for just getting a corsair keyboard and not bothering to build my own

And getting a full size keyboard

[outer citrus]

I mean there’s a reason I still keep the numberpad. Best place to put shortcuts if I do say so myself

[worldly shale]

like alwaus, all up to preference

*always

[outer citrus]

True

I don’t have time to spend hours individually lubing switches lol

[worldly shale]

it's a pretty fair response to not want to build a keyboard anyway. not being into a hobby doesn't mean that you're basic or something

lubing switches worst part of the hobby

i have 100 switches coming in to lube soon

145 depending on if the person wants them luned

*lubed

[outer citrus]

Lol

I like my keyboard tho. I don’t have plans to upgrade it any time soon

Tho I do have plans to get it fixed cause the volume wheel is being a pain

[subtle grotto]

gasket mounted my keybaord

works pretty well

not really gummy o ring

its rubber bands that were connected together

works well

[subtle grotto]

fixed it up too because before u couldnt close it properly

[worldly shale]

yo show?

never heard of mounting a board that way

[subtle grotto]

gasket mount

search it on google

[worldly shale]

no ik what gasket mount is lmfao

[subtle grotto]

you usually use a big gummy o-ring

dont have one

so i used rubber bands lmao

connected 4 pieces of them

[worldly shale]

mounting it via rubber bands i mean. how'd you do that? just link them together?

ah

[subtle grotto]

yup

[worldly shale]

might have to try that on my tester board

that or the spring mount

[subtle grotto]

holds up pretty well

even though the case is fairly heavy

[worldly shale]

tofu case or sm/th?

[subtle grotto]

nah nah this actually a 16 dollar keyboard

and made it pretty good

[worldly shale]

ohhh lol

[subtle grotto]

has a plastic case

really hollow stock

[worldly shale]

most boards are tbf

[subtle grotto]

yup really true

[worldly shale]

even my tester68 that came pre foamed and silicone'd is hollow asf

need to get that fixed along w pe or tape mod soon

[subtle grotto]

havent modded the stabs for this one yet

really rattly

[worldly shale]

vintage whites got their clackiness stolen from them on this board

rip

[subtle grotto]

dang

[worldly shale]

holee mod fixes all ig

[subtle grotto]

im really proud of how i made this 16 dollar blue switch keyboard sound pretty good

still has a blue switch but soundss nothing like it

[worldly shale]

that or getting those cheap holy panda color looking stabs. still surprised w how good those are after just some lube

ooh nice

did you mod the blues?

[subtle grotto]

yupp

imma show you a sound test in a bit

[worldly shale]

nice

what board is it?

[subtle grotto]

i dont even know

but its not hot swap

[worldly shale]

ah i see

[subtle grotto]

its a gigaware k28 if ur curious

[worldly shale]

Ohh

haha gigaware

[subtle grotto]

yea

[worldly shale]

filipino brand board. kinda wanna get the outemu hotswap version of it to mod to hell

[subtle grotto]

and it has "orange" blue switches

[worldly shale]

oh wtf thats new

lol

[subtle grotto]

lmao

i found like 2 reddit posts abt it

and thats about it

[worldly shale]

wild

i wanna get one of those with a tecware shroud

throw some KTT switches on them or something and fix the stabs

just worried about the pcb since I've seen a lot of people say the board breaks quick but afaik that's a problem with the switch itself

[subtle grotto]

oh yea

abt that

this part of the keyboard is dead

except for windows key

not sure if its a pcb prolem or the switch

broke before i even got to mod the switch

[worldly shale]

wtf

hopefully it's just the switch?

[subtle grotto]

hopefully

[worldly shale]

that's what I've heard is the problem most times

you can probably just desolder it

[subtle grotto]

havent bought any switches yet so yea not sure

[worldly shale]

sadge

[subtle grotto]

pretty bad cuz this is my daily driver

without those keys is rlly bad

[worldly shale]

well at least it wasn't too expensive

[subtle grotto]

yeaa

[worldly shale]

and the repair is hopefully not that hard

[subtle grotto]

hopefully like hopefully its just the switch

[worldly shale]

not as bad as rakk board pcbs that have keys die inexplicably and burn when you solder them back kekw

yea

[subtle grotto]

should i try wiring from a working switch to the dead switches

[worldly shale]

nah

that's a last effort thing and if the switch is dead you won't have any luck either way

switches are cheap anyway

[subtle grotto]

yea

havent got the time to by some yet

but yea

[worldly shale]

outemu blues are 11 pesos each on keyzilla iirc

id offer them if i could cuz i have like 300 in my drawers rn lmfao

[subtle grotto]

holy shit

300 blues

wow

[worldly shale]

exag but i do have enough to fill a big board lol

ok shit phones on 1%. good luck with your board bro

[subtle grotto]

yup yup thanks

wait wait its the first tiem ive heard of keyzilla

could you give me a link for it?

[unkempt dome]

Those looks like wood screw ... I would not use that ...

[fallen mauve]

apology accepted

[unkempt dome]

I'll try to measure the screws on mine and see if I can get some results ... can you wait for the weekend for the info ?

[subtle grotto]

my keycap puller broke

[worldly shale]

https://shopee.ph/keebzilla?smtt=0.0.9

keebzilla apparently i got their name wrong

i got my KTT kang whites there

[subtle grotto]

r u form the phil too?

[worldly shale]

yea

eean

[subtle grotto]

danggg they have some good offers

[worldly shale]

ye they're a pretty solid retailer. got the materials for my first expensive custom from them

[subtle grotto]

where in phil r u from

[worldly shale]

up north in luzon

so glad shopee exists because of how many good budget deals they are

living next to china has its perks

[subtle grotto]

mmm i see

i'm at metro manila

ncr basically

[worldly shale]

ahhh nice

pretty sure there are some shops there too

i think the person i almost bought a kbd67 sold there

[chrome raft]

ok,ill just use the keeb with the one screw i have left until i can get some of the exact ones

[subtle grotto]

why not gasket mount it

[chrome raft]

bc idk how

send me some links on things to gasket mount it and i will

[worldly shale]

get a large oring

wrap in the space between pcb and playe

*plate

friction fit it into case

[chrome raft]

silicon o ring?

[subtle grotto]

yes

or use my way with rubber bands lmfao

[worldly shale]

like a giant rubber band

[chrome raft]

https://tenor.com/view/pinoy-pride-philippine-flag-philippines-gif-20327958

[worldly shale]

🇵🇭

lesgo

[chrome raft]

might i have a link?

[subtle grotto]

this gasket mount with rubber bands are working well holy

[unkempt dome]

Gasket mount have not much appeal for me

[subtle grotto]

yea it really depends

i plan to spend my 2 weeks of christmas break on modding my keyboard lmfao

[ionic island]

My spacebar only rattles on one side

Any fixes?

They're durock v2s lubed, holee, and band aid modded

Also wire balanced

[subtle grotto]

this is the sound test of the unfinished keyboard project i have spacebar sounds bad still and still unbalanced sound cuz not all switches r properly modded yet and teh last few keys were really jsut stock keys unmodded

note its unfinished

[worldly shale]

Goddamn

Surprised you're still awake but even more surprised at how good that board sounds

Very nice and marbly

how'd you mod them?

[subtle grotto]

i have a test in a few hours from now which is not good

[subtle grotto]

oh ive done a lot

[subtle grotto]

yea i like the sound

not that deep sound though the thock not that

oh and i gasket mounted just cuz its because i broke all the wholes for the screw i tried a bigger screw and it all went pop so i just gasket mounted it lmfao

[worldly shale]

switches i mean

[subtle grotto]

again just wnat to put this out there its not done and its my first time modding a keybaord

[worldly shale]

even for a first time with bad stabs it sounds great

better than my current board rn. once i mod my tester68 probably similar

did you jailhouse the blues?

[subtle grotto]

yup jailhouse

[subtle grotto]

stabs suck for this one

[worldly shale]

niiice

k28 right?

[subtle grotto]

yuppp

gigaware to not get confused

[worldly shale]

now i kinda wanna order the browns version and mod it to hell

[subtle grotto]

theres a brown version for k28?

[worldly shale]

yea gigawares the only hotswap 1

he

[subtle grotto]

r u serious

[worldly shale]

*yeah

[subtle grotto]

why did i not see that

FRICK

[worldly shale]

i think its new LOL

[subtle grotto]

thats alright atleast i have something to work with and mod with

oh and i cracked the plastic case by accident lmao

small crack only tho

how do i make the spacebar ig less hollow?

[worldly shale]

you foam modded the board entirely yet?

[subtle grotto]

yup

put some moldable clay on it too

moldable clay so it doesn't get hard

i swear it works

maybei should buy pbt keycaps

[worldly shale]

pbt would be good but I'm not sure how that would help in unhollowing them

maybe try adding foam to the spacebar?

[subtle grotto]

added foam already

to the spacebar

[subtle grotto]

well not just that its cuz these stock abs keycaps suck

[worldly shale]

yeah they're gross

[subtle grotto]

it just leaves on ur finger prints

[worldly shale]

stock abs keycaps on boards are so greasy

[subtle grotto]

IKR

[worldly shale]

i have a pbt set on both my boards

ez noclean

[subtle grotto]

yup and i heard they feel so much better than abs

gotta save up though

[worldly shale]

you can get a nice cheap pbt set for like 700-1k these days tbf

my honey/milk XDAs were only 800

[subtle grotto]

can u link me some

bought them for a commission and theyre nice

[subtle grotto]

imma check it out

[worldly shale]

nice

ima go sleep it's like 3am good luck with ur test lmfao

happy holidays brother

[radiant thunder]

On a scale of 1 to how bad of an idea is it to buy a used keyboard?

[subtle grotto]

9

[subtle grotto]

thanks

[subtle grotto]

happy holidays as well

[worldly shale]

depends on how bad the board itself is

[worldly shale]

[inland scaffold]

does it make a difference lubing linear switches?

[radiant thunder]

Elaborate.

[inland scaffold]

if it looks rotten or not

[radiant thunder]

It does not look rotten.

[inland scaffold]

if its broken or not

[radiant thunder]

It is not.

[inland scaffold]

if its what you want

[radiant thunder]

It is just... cheaper.

[inland scaffold]

okay then its fine

[radiant thunder]

Thanks.

[inland scaffold]

mechanical keyboards last along time

up to 50 mil clicks or sth

[inland scaffold]

how much is it

[radiant thunder]

I haven't really checked keyboards. Was just wondering if it was a bad idea to buy used.

[inland scaffold]

oh ya

you can always buy a budget keyboard and upgrade it on your own along with the way

when ever you want

[radiant thunder]

That sounds like effort.

[inland scaffold]

its fun tho

[radiant thunder]

But I'm lazy.

[inland scaffold]

get up on your ass and do it

[radiant thunder]

No.

[inland scaffold]

YES

[radiant thunder]

No.

[inland scaffold]

try searching the k552 mods

people like this one

including me

i have the linear one and planning on getting new keycaps

[radiant thunder]

Wowowowowo.

The fuck I look like to you? Bill Gates?

That costs 700 lira.

[inland scaffold]

lol sheesh

that how bad the turkish lira went

dang

[radiant thunder]

Yeah

[inland scaffold]

its just 40 bucks man

i suggest dropping mechanical keyboards

and focus on staying alive

Easy to say from wherever you're sitting at

[inland scaffold]

[radiant thunder]

Where?

[inland scaffold]

[radiant thunder]

Good idea.

[inland scaffold]

That looks-

That uh-

That yeah.

[opal phoenix]

Mx blues with 3d printed key caps

[radiant thunder]

When the embed.

[inland scaffold]

oh ya they always show the destruction

[opal phoenix]

They sound great

[inland scaffold]

ya that happens sometimes

gaza is beautiful tho

if it was free\

[inland scaffold]

blues?

[opal phoenix]

Yup

[inland scaffold]

omg

[opal phoenix]

Why not

They do

[inland scaffold]

how the fuck my man

[opal phoenix]

They have a weird sound

[inland scaffold]

okay let me listen

[radiant thunder]

Also @inland scaffold k552 is 10KL

Bit cringe.

[opal phoenix]

I’m not home

Later

[inland scaffold]

ya i'd rather to have 65 or full

[opal phoenix]

Google them

[radiant thunder]

I want full keyboard.

[inland scaffold]

okay im interested

[inland scaffold]

there is a full version

[radiant thunder]

[inland scaffold]

still a redragon

[radiant thunder]

Still not paying 700 lira for a keyboard.

[inland scaffold]

get a good membrane

[radiant thunder]

I already have one.

[inland scaffold]

is it good?

[radiant thunder]

Yes.

Logitech K120.

[inland scaffold]

why are you looking for mechanical then

especially when you dont have the money

lol

[radiant thunder]

I can get the money.

There is this thing called saving up

[inland scaffold]

and not for fun as you said

okay 40$ for a keyboard is little

[radiant thunder]

Well, mechanical keyboards are more durable, have a better lifespan, feels better when typing which I do alot of as I'm a programmer and generally better

[inland scaffold]

it has a metal template

you can mod your membrane

i tried it once

it works

[radiant thunder]

Can you stop suggesting keyboard modding

[inland scaffold]

lol

u must have a large ass

ya its a bit of a hassle

[radiant thunder]

I won't even be able to get the max out of whatever keyboard I'll get anyways.

And most annoying part, I won't be able to turn the RGB off if it has any.

POV: Linux user.

[inland scaffold]

okay most keyboards don't come good or pre lubed nor foam modded

so the experience you are looking for

will not be as satisfying

[inland scaffold]

lol

[radiant thunder]

If you suggest keyboard modding again I'm actually blocking you

[inland scaffold]

it doesnt have to be a software

[radiant thunder]

I don't need lubing or foam modding.

[bleak siren]

Facts

[radiant thunder]

I'm fine with whatever comes out from the factory.

[radiant thunder]

Oh yeah, I can just rip the LEDs off

[inland scaffold]

okay you must look really close

[bleak siren]

It's more just to enhance the experience

[inland scaffold]

okay have fun with rattly stabs

[inland scaffold]

when i say mod

you will mod

[bleak siren]

I'm not having fun with rattly stabs, I'm having a blast

😩

[inland scaffold]

wow

[radiant thunder]

Orgasmic, if you will

[inland scaffold]

blasted stabs

[inland scaffold]

ive never imagined someone would use this word

in this context

holy shit

[bleak siren]

If you get rid of the stabilizers you won't have rattly stabs

[inland scaffold]

big brain

[radiant thunder]

Just don't have a keyboard.

Can't have rattly stabs if you don't have stabs at all.

[bleak siren]

TRUEE

[inland scaffold]

yaaaaa

just don't have a computer

you wont need

a keyboard

[radiant thunder]

Ok.

I think so.

For.... my k120?

Then?

[inland scaffold]

he can't assemble a keyboard

he is too lazyyy

[radiant thunder]

Oh you want me to build my own keyboard?

Fuck that.

That's effort.

[inland scaffold]

lol you need to die

[radiant thunder]

And unneceseary.

[inland scaffold]

okay don't get into keyboards

[radiant thunder]

That's... not very nice...

[inland scaffold]

sorry m8

just kidding ya

[radiant thunder]

[inland scaffold]

stop being lazy tho

[radiant thunder]

No.

I don't know if I want to buy something from china.

[inland scaffold]

everything

is from china

[radiant thunder]

You're wrong.

Every is MADE in China.

[inland scaffold]

ya

including

[radiant thunder]

Not FROM China.

[inland scaffold]

budget

keyboards

[radiant thunder]

Or I can buy a used keyboard for cheap.

[inland scaffold]

no one is selling

[radiant thunder]

Amazon?!? Do I look like fucking Bill Gates to you?

[radiant thunder]

Maybe not in your country

[inland scaffold]

you look tired

get some sleep

[radiant thunder]

I am not.

Amazon charges double the price of the product to ship to Turkey.

[inland scaffold]

oh im surprised my country had the k552

i bought it instantly

u cant buy shit online from here

[radiant thunder]

What do you mean? It's cheap as fuck.

[inland scaffold]

ya its cheap

[radiant thunder]

Yeah I am

[inland scaffold]

he won't find anthing

[radiant thunder]

I am.

[radiant thunder]

"hE wOn't FiND AnYhTınG"

You don't even live in the same country let alone region as me.

[inland scaffold]

calm yo ass down

online

nobody sells their keyboards

bcz no one is interested in buying one either

[radiant thunder]

Found a Corsair K68.

Razer Blackwidow.

[inland scaffold]

where

[radiant thunder]

Corsair K95.

Actually give me a minute.

[inland scaffold]

good for u

[radiant thunder]

"Nobody sells their keyboard" my fucking balls

58 listings just in my city.

"get what u want"
"both are bad"

No. This is Twitter now.

[cursive moon]

Ey boys after watching Linus's new video I got inspired to give my old z-88 a new life lol

Built up a lot of "gamer grease" on it over the years

This is the previous sound test

New

[steady hatch]

anyone able to recommend a mouse

because the mx master 3 is not as good as people say

[cursive moon]

g502 is king

[bleak siren]

What the FUCK. That's atrocious.

[bleak siren]

What were you using it for?

[steady hatch]

daily use surfing the web coding

because gaming this thing is bad

the latency is really noticeable

[zealous cave]

I couldnt disassemble it so I did pour some water on the switches, then left it for one day and now it works like a charm

[cursive moon]

@bleak siren ey man.... enough league of legends will do that to your keyboard

[obtuse swift]

Dk61 for £95 good?

[loud nova]

My hot take of the day: red switches are bad, and anyone who likes them is a fundamentally flawed human being and the switches should not even be available. Get a rubber dome keyboard.

[loud nova]

... really? I love my mxm3

[bleak siren]

we all know the butterfly switches from apple are the best

[unkempt dome]

I hate them

[storm vortex]

good wireless keyboard under 40 bucks

keyboard user doesn't care for quality of keycaps and all that

[worldly shale]

willing to build the board?

[storm vortex]

no

[worldly shale]

alr

[storm vortex]

its strange to go to someone clueless on this server when generally I at least know 50% of the topic at hand

this is the one channel thats a grey area for me

[worldly shale]

haha yeah i get that

are you willing to pay like 12$ extra?

rk61 wireless is 52$ on amazon

[storm vortex]

40 dollars is all they have left

[viscid flower]

I have a $300 budget and I'm looking for a good linear keyboard I don't care if it's tkl 100% or 60% I just want something better than what I have now

[unkempt dome]

And what do you have now ?

[viscid flower]

I have a razer huntsman tournament edition with linear switches

[unkempt dome]

Check out boba switches or c³ tangerines

Then get either a hot swap board or go custom

Or get an hhkb and call it a day ...

[loud nova]

royal kludge ... I think they are more expensive now though

[unkempt dome]

Doomed ... Maybe check out keychron Q1

[loud nova]

keychron is amazing value for money. Better build than an RK, but still cheap

[unkempt dome]

I'm going for the Q2 when it's out

[blazing breach]

👀

[loud nova]

Managed RGB is a dealbreaker for me, because I am all about that RGB aesthetic, so I'm going for a claymore II

[loud nova]

that word is part of the australian lexicon! you can't make me stop!

[blazing breach]

lol

[loud nova]

racism against australians.

[unkempt dome]

I don't care at all about rgb

Always off

Or nonexistent

[viscid flower]

I saw drop keyboard are those good?

[unkempt dome]

Meh

Not for the price of those I heard

[loud nova]

I have over 1000 RGB LEDs in the room, before you even start on the PC

[unkempt dome]

The only rgb in my pc is on the GPU and it's cause I didn't chose which version of it I could buy

Cause I would have taken something without rgb

[loud nova]

you can't buy non RGB ram these days

[boreal rivet]

society

[ivory ingot]

they're just okay.

not great, not bad

generally overpriced imo

[bleak siren]

Can't expect a productivity mouse to do well in gaming. Is the latency the only thing bothering you?

[unreal current]

how should I go about cleaning a sticky key on a non-hotswap board? I've had this board for ~4 months and the A key is starting to stick, but I literally have no soldering equipment or compressed air or anything so I can't do any of the fixes I see just by googling my issue

[ivory ingot]

i would say unplugging the board and putting some isppropyl alcohol on the switch and actuate it a few times

then wash it out with water and thoroughly dry it

[inland scaffold]

for price of new lol

is it worth lubing red or linear switches?

[unkempt dome]

Well I have non rgb ram tho

[unkempt dome]

If.you think your switches needs lubing sure ... it's a matter of preference ... it changes the feel and also the sound too ...

[cursive moon]

If you put the work of meticulously lube your switches or if you swapped them out and upgraded it and if the parts of your keyboards were limited editions then in fact your keyvoard is worth more

[loud nova]

throw them in the bin. red switches are the wooorrrsssttttt

[steady hatch]

I can feel the delay and the scroll wheel is defective i think coz it wont scroll sometimes or thats just the mouse

[loud nova]

honestly.... that sounds wrong. mine is great - I mean if you're talking fps, sure, it's not a gaming mouse, but normal usage... no.

[inland scaffold]

they are fine, i thought people hated the blues.. and the browns.. oh i see

[inland scaffold]

ya but linear switches are already smooth, but yes you can make the sound better i guess

[worldly shale]

browns are good tbf

[inland scaffold]

long story short, nobody likes anything

[inland scaffold]

i love browns too, im not racist

i suck at typing i keep hitting 2 keys at the same time

concave keycaps me no likey

[steady hatch]

Yeah i know but it just doesnt feel right

[cursive moon]

What kind of mouse do u typically like?

I do believe in right mouse for the right job lmao

Despite how beat up my g502 is however. I will swaer by that thing

[deep wigeon]

Top right but logitechs version of it

Top right if you were looking at directions mouse are facing*

[chrome raft]

how does switches translate to rasicim

[chrome raft]

theyre scratchy tho

unless you lube them

and filt them

[inland scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/joke-missed-over-your-head-gif-8604199

[chrome raft]

film

[chrome raft]

well i dont get it

[inland scaffold]

cz brown

[chrome raft]

i get the joke but i still dont get if yo are serious that switches translates to rasicim

you

[inland scaffold]

lol ha

forget it man

[chrome raft]

if you can lube, you lube. if you can't lube, its fine

[worldly shale]

most switches are

i like light tactility

[inland scaffold]

im just asking if it makes a difference in linear switches

[worldly shale]

i lube the legs on my tactiles kekw

[worldly shale]

it does

[chrome raft]

it does

[worldly shale]

jinx you own me ten brown switches

[inland scaffold]

nah doesnt count

okay

you can find brown swtiches

in the trash can

[chrome raft]

linear does not equal smooth

[inland scaffold]

people would pay yu to take them

[worldly shale]

none of you have seen the light tactile endgame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /j

[inland scaffold]

hmmmmm i never tried lubing switches
tho only vaseline is available here

[worldly shale]

DONT USE VASELINE

[inland scaffold]

why

[worldly shale]

vaseline destroys plastics and will wreck your switches

[inland scaffold]

really

[worldly shale]

yes

[inland scaffold]

ive seen people use it before

[chrome raft]

no

dont try

[worldly shale]

just because people have used it before doesnt mean its a good idea

[inland scaffold]

okay i can't lubemy stabs then

[worldly shale]

order some dialectric grease or something. momoda lube depending on if it's available is also a good alternative

[chrome raft]

get dialectric grease and krytox

[inland scaffold]

ya i can't order

[subtle grotto]

anyone have thoughts on gateron milky yellows

[inland scaffold]

stuff takes ages to get here
that if they even get here

[chrome raft]

good buget smoot linear

[unkempt dome]

Lubing is a preference ... switches I have doesn't need lube

[worldly shale]

theyre ok but as rubbishly said jwicks are better

[chrome raft]

if you have switches you should probably lube them

[subtle grotto]

ooooo i see

[chrome raft]

gat milky yellows are pretty good buget smootch linear switch

[worldly shale]

i have gat yellows on my board right now. theyre ks3 but still gat yellows. mushier bottom out than something like a rose red or vintage white

[subtle grotto]

have ya tried lubing them

[worldly shale]

yes

these are lubed

[inland scaffold]

hmmmm do cars use dielectric grease?

[chrome raft]

no

at least i dont think so

[inland scaffold]

okay what does

[unkempt dome]

They don't need to tho ... and lube won't bring much to most of them

[chrome raft]

well sub=0 cooling does require dialectric grease

[chrome raft]

well if you want the most out of your switch you should try lubing

[inland scaffold]

ya ive seen ltt video

[chrome raft]

sub-0 cooling

[inland scaffold]

okay so air cond

[unkempt dome]

I don't think so ... not all switches are like that

[chrome raft]

you can lightly lube them

it does make a difference

[unkempt dome]

No interested ... I know it makes a difference

[inland scaffold]

alder lake sub 0

damn man mech keyboards are very high

lol linus did that tho

on cpu socket

[chrome raft]

ik

or u put on stab

[cursive moon]

for lubing less is more. I wish there were things u can apply more coats to get more grease but unfortunately it doesnt work like that

u dont want thick grease inside the springs itll mess up the actuation if its super light like in linear switches

dont be scared of lubing if its the long and meticulous process that is stopping you. I promise after you finish you will hear and feel the difference. You wont go back

some dont need them. I know that. but those some still benefit from it

[inland scaffold]

i wish they kinda remove the "=" key and extend the backspace instead

[cursive moon]

what about + tho

[inland scaffold]

well if you have Full sized, you wont have to worry about that

or just put it behind the backspace

it feels far for me

[limber cloak]

Hey guys, I was wondering which keyboard is better, Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Rapidfire or the Logitech G815. I will be using it for 30% gaming, 50% typing / schoolwork and 20% other stuff (e.g. watching videos/movies). Thanks.

[bleak siren]

You can watch reviews on those keyboards and see which is better based on your judgement

[cursive moon]

@limber cloak Corsair seems more "gamer" then the Logitech which i would say is more minimalist. Personally how it sounds and how tactile it is would play a major role. That logitech seems more tactile to me but am not sure

[chrome raft]

do you need rgb

if you dont get a 120 dollar tkl with tactile switches

or cheaper

dont get corsair

or logitech

logitech switches are trash

corsair has too much rgb

[limber cloak]

i want the numpad as well, cos i use it a decent amount in my schoolwork

and i have the space

[chrome raft]

oh

ok

[unkempt dome]

I know how lubed switches feels and sounds like and most of my switches don't need it ... the process doesn't bother me at all and it's not the thing stopping me

[chrome raft]

yeah then get a 100% with tactile switches

[chrome raft]

oh they sound amazing

you can lightly lube switches

[cursive moon]

Do u like loud and tactile or quite and damp

[limber cloak]

I am kind of a cherry brown guy

[cursive moon]

oh o

[unkempt dome]

I don't care about sound unless there's pings

[chrome raft]

do you have sound contraints

[unkempt dome]

No

[chrome raft]

ok

what layout?

[limber cloak]

i wouldnt want blue-level clickiness, but smth which is medium noise level and below is ok

[chrome raft]

ok

[chrome raft]

feel?

heavy medium or light

actuation force

[limber cloak]

medium

defo not linear

[chrome raft]

ok

[cursive moon]

i wanna suggest. Gmmk blacks

https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Modular-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01D8YNJH0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=gateron+black+keyboard+full+size&qid=1639765775&sr=8-3

[chrome raft]

like you dont want too much force but u dont want too little force

[cursive moon]

w/ Gateron Black inks

[chrome raft]

wait what

they have gat black inks

[cursive moon]

hmm not sure. lemme double check

[chrome raft]

theyre expensive

gat black inks

[chrome raft]

ok do you want backlit

[cursive moon]

corasir and logitech is expensive too. Budget is a concern?

[limber cloak]

yh, would be nice

[limber cloak]

£100 ish

so like $120 ish

[chrome raft]

do you want backlit

[limber cloak]

yh, would be nice

[chrome raft]

ok

like what colour keycaps

white | black | multicolour

and also buget

what buget

[limber cloak]

^^

[cursive moon]

hmm. GMMK fits in ur budget for now is also hot swappable so u can try differet switches in the future. Comes in black or white keycaps

[limber cloak]

black mainly

[chrome raft]

ok

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5005&switch=cherry-mx-brown you might like this

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4295&switch=cherry-mx-brown

this one is also pretty nice

theyre backlit

100%

cherry my browns

[limber cloak]

ok, cool, thnx

[cursive moon]

@limber cloak lol post a sound test for us when u end up making a decision

[limber cloak]

lol, sure

[chrome raft]

they're cherry mx browns

[unkempt dome]

I don't like cherry brown much

[chrome raft]

cool

[limber cloak]

unfortunately it is quite out of my budget

yh, but I need to get it in the UK, and here they're selling it for £139 ~ $185

they always make stuff more expensive here

it's out of stock, rip

thnx anyways

[obtuse swift]

Is the Dk61 for £95 best option for white wireless 60%/tkl under £100

[unkempt dome]

You can also check durgod and varmilo ...

[chrome raft]

varmilo boards are very expensive im pretty sure

like very

[unkempt dome]

About the same price as leopold and durgod here

The leopold I've seen here were more expensive than the varmilo I've seen

Also ... there's that
https://drop.com/buy/drop-mito-mt3-noctua-keycap-set

Would fit well with my second pc

Would only miss the noctua 3070

[chrome raft]

oh lol

you could just stick noctua fans to the rog strixs

[unkempt dome]

Nah ... not the same shroud ...

And I won't 3d print that ... it's the real deal or nothing

And that will be not that card cause I won't be able to find it and I would be a performance downgrade anyway... but would be more beautiful than what I have

[ebon surge]

someone link me a good budget keyboard

please :0

[unkempt dome]

What form factor/size/layout ... which switches ... what material ... which color ... ? You have to provide more details ...

But if you want cheap redrafon k552 is usually cheap

[chrome raft]

and trash

[unkempt dome]

Yes

But it's cheap

And that's what was asked for

[chrome raft]

what will you be doing on it, gaming, typing or both | size | any sound contraints | actuation force | backlit: yes or no | keycaps: black, white, multicolour

u need to tell me all those things

for me to give you a good recomendation

[chrome raft]

buget means under 100 bucks right

[unkempt dome]

The use case of a keyboard is .mostly irrelevant unless it need macro key for the purpose of the keyboard

[chrome raft]

no im just listing some generic questions

so i can get a understanding what type of keyboard he/she wants

[unkempt dome]

Budget means cheap imo ... there was no amount of money mentioned tho so I just said the cheapest board I know that is not rubber dome

Also with some mods the k552 can become a nice board

[chrome raft]

u have to get new switches

and its soldered

not hotswap

so modding is a pain

at that point you could probably get a better prebuilt

[unkempt dome]

Not if the user likes them tho

And it's not soldered

[ebon surge]

Gaming and typing

[unkempt dome]

It had the outemu hotswap socket which is compatible with other outemu switches, akko switches and boba switches ... and I think someone said ttc too

[chrome raft]

no one likes outemu blues

[chrome raft]

k552 is soldered

im pretty sure

[unkempt dome]

Nope it's not

Trust me on that one

[chrome raft]

boba u4t's costs a hell lot

[unkempt dome]

Yes indeed

But not akko switches

[chrome raft]

and other outemu switches sucks

idk if akko is good

and ttc is okay

[unkempt dome]

I was just listing the switches I remember are compatible

[chrome raft]

oh

gat switches aren't compatible

and the good switches that are compatible are expensive

[unkempt dome]

Well I have some akko that i like more than some of the kailh i have and are smoother than the gateron yellow i have

[chrome raft]

ok

well you cant get most switches

[unkempt dome]

Akko have good switches for a ridiculous price

[chrome raft]

unless you frankenstien them

[chrome raft]

yeah ik

[chrome raft]

ok tell me about the other stuff

[unkempt dome]

And yes outemu blue are quite meh but the k552 can come with other switches than outemu blue tho ...

[chrome raft]

and the other ones are very scratchy

[unkempt dome]

Well some don't mind or eve like scratchy switches or so I've been told by someone that was arguing something about cherry brown ...

And also if they are scratchy you can always lube them ... that will help a bit

[chrome raft]

ahh yes most people who want to lube

if someone is getiing k552 they probably wont want to lube

[unkempt dome]

Well apparently you miss a lot when you don't lube or so I've been told

[chrome raft]

yes you do

you miss a lot

[unkempt dome]

it's still a matter of preference

I don't think I'm missing a lot

[chrome raft]

yeah you are

im pretty sure

[unkempt dome]

I know I'm not missing a lot

[chrome raft]

im pretty sure you are missing a lot

[unkempt dome]

I have lube switches and it's not impressive on those

Not even worth the price of the lube and the time that was put in there

[chrome raft]

well i dont think so

[unkempt dome]

it's a matter of preference

[ebon surge]

what other stuff?

[unkempt dome]

Size/layout/switches/macro needed or not ...

[chrome raft]

yeah

[chrome raft]

everything i listed here

[ebon surge]

anything but full size, layout? qwerty I guess . Any switches / no macro needeed

[chrome raft]

tkl or compact

which one do you prefer

[ebon surge]

tkl I guess

[chrome raft]

ok

are people around you sensitive to noise

honestly this website is stupid af

ik but ur supposed to find out info by yourself

not have a website that literally gives you semi usefull information

[ivory ingot]

maybe if you have all the money in the world to spend on shit

and as someone who's spent a considerable amount on keyboards, I still recommend reading that website to learn about keyboards

[chrome raft]

yeah but im pretty sure its usless for most people (including me)

[ivory ingot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I will agree that without context it's not super helpful, but it's worth checking out

[chrome raft]

yeah i comsume so much keyboard content that the website is usless for me
