[spark hatch]

black

it would be yes

[ionic briar]

one second

the gray modifiers are also from keychron?

[wide kernel]

Yall are keyboard savvy right?

[spark hatch]

probably

[wide kernel]

Is there a key command on windows that makes u only use shortcut

It happened awhile back

[ionic briar]

try ctrl alt p?

https://ccm.net/computing/hardware/387-how-to-fix-a-keyboard-using-only-shortcuts/

you could also have sticky keys on or something

[wide kernel]

I was just wondering because I would spam my keyboard and it would do tbat

Then I restart my PC and it fixed it

[spark hatch]

yea they are

[ionic briar]

yea one second

i prefer the black mods more

[spark hatch]

alr ty

[cinder zephyr]

does anyone know of a good 60% keyboard under 50 cad hotswappable usb c

[chrome raft]

idk if rk61 is usbc

but if it is just get the rk61

and yo probably shouldn't even care about usb c

any port is fine

[spark hatch]

If you could spend the extra I heard this was alr, but I don't have any personal experience with this board so im not sure. do your own reserch

[hybrid sinew]

can anyone help me with my keybiard? If so just dm me.

[supple gust]

maybe, what's your issue?

https://dontasktoask.com

[hybrid sinew]

so when I click my F1 and F2 key they do not work, but when I click them together its a 50/50 if they will work or not. I have a iqunix L80 with Shogoki tactile switches on the F keys and TTC Gold pink of the rest.

[supple gust]

That's a hot-swappable board, so pop out those two keys real quick

[hybrid sinew]

yup

[supple gust]

if you have any extra switches, test em in there?

or just pop one that's working out of a different socket

[hybrid sinew]

got it

[supple gust]

also you may want to blow on the contacts to get any dust out, or clean them if they are grimy/corroded with rubbing alcohol

(if that doesn't work

[hybrid sinew]

ok, so the switch works on other keys, i replaced the switch and it still does not work. i have a can of compressed air im gonna do that now

nope, nothing. and no they are not grimey or anytthing like that

ok hold on, so it was working when i put it to wireless but its not when I make it wireless mode

so its not the switches its something to do with maybe the cable?

[hybrid sinew]

nope not the cable but it works in wireless mode, its just that wireless mode is awful due to it being so delayed

[supple gust]

oh, no i meant the switch socket contacts

[hybrid sinew]

ik i did the switch contacts and the switch socket contacts they didnt work

[hollow plover]

Try shorting the contacts manually in wired mode and see if it registers

I mean i expect it not to work

But no harm in trying

[hybrid sinew]

im a little stupid wym shorting them

im not like really big in keyboards n stuff

[hollow plover]

Like use something conductive to make a circuit between the contacts

Like a pair of metal tweezers

[hybrid sinew]

nothing yet even on wireless mode idk if im doin it right

[crisp meteor]

I am currently waiting for my One 3 TKL to get here... first "better than Corsair" mech keyboard. I don't see myself going crazy with mods, but do folks suggest at least lubing the stabs? if so, what lube? I can't see myself spending a ton of time/money on this, but I'm willing to do a bit.

[crisp meteor]

Condensed question: easy stab lubing, what hould I know/buy?

[hollow plover]

Dielectric grease if youre on a budget

[crisp meteor]

I actually already have some of that... was thinking that might be a good call

[hybrid sinew]

putting it in there

[hollow plover]

Yeah easy to get hold of, plus cheaper than alternatives, although the performances reflects this

[hollow plover]

Yeye into the sockets

[crisp meteor]

I'm guessing that, being my first time doing this, any improvement will be appreciatecd. Might encourage me to do more down-the-road

[hybrid sinew]

nope not working on wired

[hollow plover]

Thats very strange, lemme have a quick google and see if i can find something

[hollow plover]

Yeah id suggest band aid modding the stabs

Probs replace them with some nicer stabs of youre feeling fancy

[crisp meteor]

<===googleing "bandaid modding"

[hybrid sinew]

ok so i tried it on another key that ik orks (i have the first letter of that ord off rn so just ignore that) and i stuck the teasers inside the sockets of the upside don m key and it still didnt ork

[hollow plover]

@hybrid sinew im really not too sure why something like that would be happening but i would suggest contacting the manufacturer/retailer you got it from if its within warranty

[hollow plover]

Get rid of that damn rattle lol

[crisp meteor]

ah yes... I know this sound from Corsair-land 😉

[hollow plover]

[crisp meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/doge-meme-triggered-gif-24408595

[hollow plover]

Fully lol

[crisp meteor]

hehe

[hollow plover]

Also clipping the extra bits on the bottom of the stabs will help

Theres like some extra prongs that arnt necessary that should be clipped

[crisp meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD5Zj-ZgMLA this seems to cover that as well, at least I'll get the gist of it from it

[hollow plover]

Yeye ahaha

Also lube your switches

[crisp meteor]

I probably won't lube them right off...

just because it seems like a big time invenstment

[hollow plover]

It is but if you dont do it straight away it wont ever get done trust ahahaha

[hybrid sinew]

well thanks for the help anyway

[crisp meteor]

(I'm going with Speed Silvers for now... I've had them before, and liked them)

[crisp meteor]

I sense the truth in what you say

[hollow plover]

Yeah sorry i couldn't figure it out, hard to tell without having the thing in hand unfortunately

[hollow plover]

Yeah it gets put off forever lol, but its fully worth the time investment, and if you are short on time you can always pay someone to do it

[crisp meteor]

Honestly... its more of a "I should do it while watching a show one night" thing... time can be found

[hollow plover]

Yeah think theyre meant to be pretty nice, idk what the weighting on those are but probs too scratchy for my elitist self

[crisp meteor]

They are super light weight, I can't comment on the scratchiness though, I don't have apoint of comparrison

[hollow plover]

Yeah its hard to tell, but if you lube 1 you'll get that reference ahaha, it eliminates a good portion of it

Honestly lubing switches makes you never be able to go back to unlubed lmao

[crisp meteor]

I've thought that I might like to try another brand of "super-light linear" down the road, and I might just buy those pre-lubed (I'm glad this is a hot-swap board, so I'm really only into it for the price of switches to try something else)

[hollow plover]

I mean you can always spring swap any linear switch for it to be light weight, and honestly factory lube sucks, its super inconsistent, better off doing it yourself or using a service

[crisp meteor]

hmm, well I will keep that in mind

...and I'm 100 not surprised factory lube would suck

[hollow plover]

Yeah, but il be honestly if you like speed silvers id say stick with them!

[crisp meteor]

I had them on a K95 that died of an intense drinking problem... by far my fav switches (in the MX family I've used brows, reds, silver... also razor greens)

[hollow plover]

Yeah reds are okay too but too scratchy for me, i like vintages blacks or retooled blacks, but i would spring swap them for a lighter weight either way

Theyre farrrr too heavy default

[crisp meteor]

I have reds right now, and they're fine. but noticable heavier than the silver, and I like the shorter "throw" of the silvers. Just feels nicer to type on for me.

[hollow plover]

You would probably like spring swapped pom durocks

They have a shorter travel and theyre suoer smooth

Put in a lighter spring and that would be a nice switch

[crisp meteor]

I'm looking at them now. Is there a clear housing for RGB shine through?

(I don't need a ton of light, but a bit of backlight is a for sure thing

[hollow plover]

There will likely be a recoloured version with clear housing somewhere out there, after googling speed silvers are 45g so some 45g spring is what you would need

[crisp meteor]

(though, to be honest, best to start by lubing the ones it arrives with in order to baseline my preferences

yea, 45 is correct

[hybrid sinew]

@hollow plover idk if this can help at all with the keyboard still but I just found out that when I hold the arrow keys down (any of them) I can click F1 and F2 fine

[hollow plover]

I think you can get them with a smokey housing

[hollow plover]

The plot thickens lmao

[hybrid sinew]

AND IT WORKS WHENEVER I CLICK ANOTHER BUTTON WITH IT

[hollow plover]

https://divinikey.com/products/durock-linear-switches

[hollow plover]

Okay thats bizarre

[hybrid sinew]

idk if its some settings that I have on or key shortcut i put on by accident but i looked through the whole manual 6 times

[hollow plover]

Doesnt sound like a setting because it doesnt occur in wireless mode

[hybrid sinew]

true...

[crisp meteor]

@hollow plover thanks for answering questions for me, have a good one!

[hybrid sinew]

i think it might have something to do with it regestering on my pc as an apple keyboard

[hollow plover]

No problem! You too!

[hollow plover]

Lmao, yeah that very well might mess things up

[somber elk]

i looks pretty much the same, but did tape mod, lubed and filmed alpacas, and swapped the stabs for durock v2s

it sounds soooo good

[spark hatch]

damn that looks nice, what board? keychron q2?

[ionic briar]

looks like it

[spark hatch]

what happen to the enter key tho'?

[somber elk]

q2. the key set had and error and didn't ship with a correctly sized enter key. that's the standin until they can ship out the correction ^^

[ionic briar]

dsa magic girl from thekeycompany?

[somber elk]

mmhmm!

[ionic briar]

i mean, thats thekeycompany for you unfortunately

[somber elk]

yeah, they look sooooo cute though

[spark hatch]

ah I see

[wooden iron]

Maybe not the most keyboard like question, but it is for my keyboard. Anyway does anyone know of any good micro usb right angle adapters? I need it to make my keyboard wire run horizontally across the top instead of across the desk. It looks so bad atm :(

[spark hatch]

i'd look on amazon

or maybe able mod has smthn?

[wooden iron]

ye I saw a few on amazon, but they all had a bunch of reviews saying they didn't work :c

[shut flame]

ima get a keyboarrd i have 140 cad what should i get i wanna build one but just switchs and key caps
and amazon only
and one with a volume nob if possible
no blue switchs i need somthing more QUEIT
and 65% or 75
ps i need somthing easy ive never built one before

[ionic briar]

sounds like the keychron q2 would be the perfect fit

[spark hatch]

idk if thats on amazon yet but thats your best bet

[spark hatch]

@shut flame idk if its on amazon but https://epomaker.com/products/ajazz-k620t-v2?variant=39302536069193&&sca_ref=1026134.CZuEwlMpiS

[ionic briar]

thats a 60% tho

[spark hatch]

oh my bad, I mean it'll still have a function for arrow keys

[crimson slate]

i got an rk74, modded it with gateron yellow pros

[austere night]

For the new Linus keyboard video, I was hoping the E-dra EK387 Huano switch to appear on the video because it only cost you 30 $ atmost

turns out, It isn't on Amazon

[opaque shard]

I guess ergonomic keyboards aren't very popular in here >.<

Here's my daily driver

[boreal rivet]

can't be popular if your keyboard doesnt weigh 4kg, has gmk on it, is limited production, shrouded in controversy, is lubedtapedmoddedpolyfilledpefoammoddedstabtuned, on 5 different deskmats, on a desk made completely out of acoustic foam and sounds "ThoCky"

[unkempt dome]

Keychron Q2 is around 290 cad when it arrives here

[opaque shard]

I got the limited production down at least. I had to get a PCB-printing company to custom print the PCB because this keyboard is not sold commercially anywhere

[heady oak]

This is cool. And painstaking

You soldered the board yourself?

[boreal rivet]

yes likely

its not hard to solder some smd resistors and elite cs

[opaque shard]

Yeah, I did

It was hard at first, but now I've got it down pretty nicely

It is painstaking I guess, but it was required for me to be happy with my keyboard setup

[worldly shale]

akko ACR boards

[undone dew]

What do you guys think abt the g915 tkl in white?

[worldly shale]

g915 is alright

not a big fan of low profile but it's a fine board

[undone dew]

idk I like low profile a little more

[heady oak]

Really nice

Id be happy too if i solder a board like this myself

This aint easy

[north jacinth]

hmm a desk made out of acoustic foam.... i'm in

[eternal wraith]

looks sick af, i wanna make something like this someday just without choc/low profile switches lol

[eternal wraith]

the stability...

[north jacinth]

just have like 30 metal poles for stability and nowhere to put your feet. hey if it thocks, it thocks.

[eternal wraith]

lmao

[north jacinth]

we are desperate

[eternal wraith]

if a keyboard sounds nice then im like "cool"

if it doesnt then i dont mind as long as it feels nice

[eternal wraith]

that being said...thock is thock

lol

[north jacinth]

you get it

[opaque shard]

I could not care about aesthetics or sound lol

Or feel

Just let me type as efficiently as possible

[chrome raft]

foam84

entire keeb made out of foam would be better

shoobs made a video creating a keyboard with a100% foam case

[north jacinth]

yes

[chrome raft]

plateless gasket mount in fully foam case

pe foam holee modded stabs

pe foam switch top housing

fully polished full nylon bottom housing

lubed

filmed with pe foam

foam keycaps

ultimate thock

cnc foam block

[spark hatch]

kaycaps rattle is very bad, keycaps are abs plastic so they get shiny, new keycaps are hard to find, and it is very over priced for what you get

I'd recommend looking at a different lowprofile board if it was me

I dont know anything about this board so do your own research but this looks alr, and much cheaper

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k1-se-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?variant=39652026351705

[chrome raft]

sounds like garbage and rattles a lot

very scratchy

and i dont get why you would want a lp keeb

[spark hatch]

I get the apeal of low profiles

[chrome raft]

why

i dont get it

you can tell me the appeal

[spark hatch]

you dont need a wrist wrest, thin so they fit in bags nice, and idk preference

[chrome raft]

why would you buy a keyboard because you dont want to use a wrist wrest

[spark hatch]

I dont like wrist wrestes I think they look clunky and dont find them that comfortable

its preference man, why do some people like 65% and less, ill never understand the appeal of less keys to work with

[chrome raft]

mouse room

price

[chrome raft]

why would you want a portable keyboard just use the one on ur laptop

[spark hatch]

move the board over or give your mouse more deskpad, price I've seen plennty of full size keybaords for cheaper than 60%

[chrome raft]

yeah but its not ergonomic

to move your keyboard over

[spark hatch]

poeple are weird man, Ive seen peaople use keybaords ontop of there laptops intigrated

[chrome raft]

100% is not 100% always more expensive then 60% but it usually is

[spark hatch]

fair enough

[fiery bane]

unironically evga and asus' wristrests are some of the cleanest imo

[chrome raft]

ok well some laptop keyboards are actually very good

[spark hatch]

evga makes keybaords?

[chrome raft]

artisan wristrests

[fiery bane]

yea, they have like 4

[chrome raft]

very buget optical keebs

[fiery bane]

all show no go

[chrome raft]

i think

but it looks clean

i like it

[fiery bane]

they have like, 2 mechanical, 1 optical and 1 membrane

[chrome raft]

i think it looks good

[fiery bane]

i hate the stock keycaps

[spark hatch]

huh woulda never guessed they made priferals

[fiery bane]

they also made a mouse

[chrome raft]

you shouldn't but evga and asus keebs

buy

[fiery bane]

why not

if they work then it's fine right

[chrome raft]

idc mouse isnt important

[ionic briar]

I do floating wrist

[fiery bane]

it's like 45usd for kailh speed silvers

and kailh hotswap sockets

full size

[chrome raft]

immense scratch

not good stabs

[spark hatch]

nah jsut wrest em on the desk, no need to raise them

[fiery bane]

soooo like every other oem

tell me an alternative at 45usd then

[chrome raft]

yeah so dont buy oem keyboards

[chrome raft]

rk61

hotswap

[fiery bane]

rk61 is oem and uh, wack

screw 60%

I can't stand em

[chrome raft]

ok well its hotswap at least

[fiery bane]

I don't know why people would sacrifice functionality for looks

[chrome raft]

and you can replace the switches

[fiery bane]

same as the z15

[chrome raft]

for lubed high-end linears

[fiery bane]

same as the z15.

[ionic briar]

Prolly hexgears gk707/705?

[chrome raft]

its for price

[fiery bane]

45usd for 104 keys?

[ionic briar]

Or k707/k705

[fiery bane]

right not everyone wants a full size

but 60%... is bad

so so bad

[chrome raft]

not really

[ionic briar]

Yea, the k705 is a full size iirc

[spark hatch]

I agree

[chrome raft]

every size has a benefit

exept exploded 75

[ionic briar]

Comes with box switches and hotswap socmet

[fiery bane]

75%, tkl, 104

[chrome raft]

frick exploded 75

[spark hatch]

its the perfect size

[chrome raft]

no

[fiery bane]

75 is the smallest I'd gi

[chrome raft]

its useless

just get compact 755 or tkl

why would you need exploded 75

[spark hatch]

you get f row, function keys, arrow keys, and its all together so its cleaner

[fiery bane]

if even an apple magic keyboard has function row

[chrome raft]

yes its a good way to waste money

if you have too much money you can always but a magic keeboard if you need to spend money

^^^waste

[fiery bane]

vissles lp85 >>>

but point was, magic keyboard is more functional than any 60%

[spark hatch]

looks nicer in my opinion

[chrome raft]

point

but its preference

most people prefer compact 75 or tkl

[spark hatch]

yea

[fiery bane]

and here you are shilling a 60

great job

[spark hatch]

its the perfct imbetween

[fiery bane]

we're talking about evga full size and out of nowhere a 60% comes up

[spark hatch]

compact full sizes look nice, full size has alot of wasted space in my opinion

[chrome raft]

so you want a 96%

ot a 1800

[fiery bane]

you can't get the numpad anywhere else aside from 1800

[chrome raft]

or

[chrome raft]

i was trying to say dont buy evga keyboards

[fiery bane]

you've had it?

[chrome raft]

no

[fiery bane]

cool.

[chrome raft]

i wouldn't want to spend my money on that

[fiery bane]

s&c seems to be fine with it

[chrome raft]

what is s&c

[fiery bane]

nvm then

the channel linus shouted out yesterday

switch and click

[ionic briar]

I mean a kailh speed silver with hotswap socket for 45 usd ain't that bad
It's like the gk707/705, but not having to buy from AliExpress.
You are buying those for the feature, not really for the quality of the assembly tbh

[spark hatch]

what ever this is, if I ever got a full size it'd be like this

[chrome raft]

if your buying a 45 dollar keyboard your gonna mod it

[ionic briar]

That's 96%

[fiery bane]

i hate that 0 placement

[chrome raft]

965

96%

[spark hatch]

alr then yea

[chrome raft]

but if you buy a cheap keycap set most likely it wont fit ur board

[fiery bane]

no?

[chrome raft]

????

[spark hatch]

you dont want your keycaps to fit?

[fiery bane]

just check the set utself

[chrome raft]

no

[fiery bane]

cheap caps sets can have the right sized keys

[spark hatch]

oh wait I read that wrong

[chrome raft]

im saying 96% isnt a very popular layout

[fiery bane]

just not all of them

wait what counts as cheap set

[spark hatch]

40$?

[chrome raft]

like 75 and under

i think

60 and under

[spark hatch]

sure

[chrome raft]

bc bottom row is weird and right shift

[spark hatch]

yea

[chrome raft]

its a half wkl

lol

[fiery bane]

anyways rog's new keeb seems rly cool

i still don't like amoury crate

[spark hatch]

which one?

[chrome raft]

rk61 is easier to mod tho

[fiery bane]

I'll grab link

[fiery bane]

disagree

[chrome raft]

i think its pretty expensive

[fiery bane]

glued battery

yea it's like 230

[chrome raft]

then why tf does everyone mod the rk61 and not other keebs

its simply easier to mod

[spark hatch]

every repeatable companies, consumer board is expensive

[chrome raft]

????

[fiery bane]

rog strix flare ii

wait

wrong one

[spark hatch]

eh not my style

[chrome raft]

yes i watche that switch and click stream

[fiery bane]

https://youtu.be/56tIf6Z7dTM

[spark hatch]

like logitech, corsair, asus,act

[undone dew]

I love Asus but why does it look like the strafe mk. 2 from corsair?

[chrome raft]

how is that repetable?

[fiery bane]

let's be honest they all look the same

[chrome raft]

asus new keyboard is a waste of money

[fiery bane]

lol

[chrome raft]

why tf would you need that much rgb

[spark hatch]

eh still dont really like there athetics

[fiery bane]

everything that isn't rk61 is a waste

[chrome raft]

no

custom boards

[undone dew]

for flex

[chrome raft]

custom boards aren't a waste

[fiery bane]

are even more of abwaste

[chrome raft]

no the real flex is having a keyboard with a ultra shiny weight

[fiery bane]

anyways you're very arrogant and i will ignore you since "waste of money" seems like your motto

[spark hatch]

those are pretty popular brand amongst non enthusiast keybaords

[chrome raft]

yes

i thought u said enthusiast for a second

[undone dew]

weight does not care if you don't use it portable

[chrome raft]

???

[spark hatch]

oh, no I meant consumer lmao

[undone dew]

says someone who says "everything that isn't rk61 is a waste"

[chrome raft]

no im saying that there are weights in the back of high-quality cases

[undone dew]

oh you mean that weight

[chrome raft]

yeah

like a blass/alu weight

brass

like on the glacier80

its really shiny

[spark hatch]

its on the bottom tho you dont really notice it

[chrome raft]

but its still a big flex

[spark hatch]

fair

[chrome raft]

yeah

[chrome raft]

exactly

[fiery bane]

my guy I was the one who didn't like the rk61

read context pls

[chrome raft]

this

you said it

i didnt

[undone dew]

no @fiery bane is right

[north jacinth]

exCUSE ME????

[fiery bane]

read context.

[undone dew]

I didn't read the context

nex just did a joke abt it

[chrome raft]

i just said dont but egva keebs

evga

[fiery bane]

and asus

[chrome raft]

yes

[fiery bane]

and corsaur

[chrome raft]

yes

[fiery bane]

or every other oem other than rk

[chrome raft]

no

[fiery bane]

that's the joke.

[chrome raft]

no

some oems are good

[fiery bane]

like rk

?

[chrome raft]

for example the ducky one 3 series

i would recomend that

[fiery bane]

lol

[undone dew]

ducky keyboards are kinda overpriced (my opinion)

[fiery bane]

not opinion

[chrome raft]

sound dampening tho

[fiery bane]

waste of money

custom

you can cut your own foam

[chrome raft]

???

ok true

[fiery bane]

cheaper 😉 waste of money

[chrome raft]

but ducky also has nice keycaps

weird colouways

[fiery bane]

can always get aftermarket anyways later

so?

keycaps is highly subjective

[chrome raft]

that adds price

[fiery bane]

i wouldn't like em since i use xda

others hate xda

[undone dew]

yeah but prob are you still under the stock price of the keyboard

[fiery bane]

it's ducky soo

[chrome raft]

not really

[fiery bane]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

rip

[chrome raft]

???

[undone dew]

u sure? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[undone dew]

nobody saw that ... XD

[chrome raft]

yes i did

you said slash tableflip

[fiery bane]

it never works for me, so i separated em

[undone dew]

yeahhhhhhhh kinda messed it up

[fiery bane]

r/woooosh

wait did i spell it right

[chrome raft]

r/woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

[spark hatch]

lmao

[chrome raft]

what does that stand for

under the radar?

[spark hatch]

does anyone happen to know where you can get gmk monochrome? or even just smthn similar

[pulsar flume]

im looking for a keyboard with brown switches and no rgb

is k845 good for 60?

a quiet tactile

[spark hatch]

you can just turn rgb off

[pulsar flume]

yeah but it's for my friend not me

[spark hatch]

have you told them you can turn off rgb?

[spark hatch]

by logitech right?

[pulsar flume]

yeah

well its different for every keyboard right and plus it takes down pricve

[spark hatch]

whats there budget, and preferred key layout?

[pulsar flume]

150 for both mouse and keyboard and....

75% 80% 100%

[spark hatch]

150 for both a board and mouse?

[pulsar flume]

but lemme double check

yeah

[spark hatch]

hmm

[spark hatch]

like keycaps?

[pulsar flume]

yeah

[spark hatch]

your best bet is third party for that

[spark hatch]

which you would prolly be able to fit in with that board, its fairly cheap

[pulsar flume]

he wants colors like this lol

[spark hatch]

mm, Ill take a quick look but im not to sure if ik any like that

[pulsar flume]

ok thx i think you might need some red light for that lol

ok he changed his mind he is fine with rgb but as long as he can make it a solid color

so bassically any rgb

keyboard

[spark hatch]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-redsuns-gmk-red-samurai-keycap-set

tahts the best I got for keycaps

[spark hatch]

I'd do this board then

he can do just white and save a buck or full rgb

[pulsar flume]

ok

thx for the help;)

[spark hatch]

np

[pulsar flume]

i swear you have a mental ilness because ur recomending a gmk set for a 150 dollar keeb

board is 60 not 150, its a 60$ keycap set not that bad, and they asked for a red and black keycap set so I gave them one

[spark hatch]

yes?

I dont know to much about that board so do your own research, it looks alr tho

[hoary trail]

I'm here to share an interesting abomination

[pulsar flume]

ok

[spark hatch]

wtf is that

[pulsar flume]

@hoary traili just saw that 10 min ago and it like 300 dollars

[hoary trail]

A keyboard with a display (touchscreen)

[spark hatch]

how is that usful lmao

[hoary trail]

It can be used for Consoles, Taskbars, message applications, etc

[spark hatch]

oh yea actaully that would be decent

[pulsar flume]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-funny-pringles-amazing-invention-gif-15113692

because this is something that people find use in

[hoary trail]

https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Touchscreen-Compact-Multifunctional/dp/B09MJ4PSFP/

[pulsar flume]

oph this one is 450

[hoary trail]

And I bought it ....

[pulsar flume]

what are the hearts about

[hoary trail]

No idea.

[turbid jungle]

hey guys...thinking about getting a kechron q1 and pairing them with some ergo clears(a cherry mx brown spring in a cherry mx clear body)

what do y'all think

[pulsar flume]

you actually bought it

[hoary trail]

I bought it just to gut it.

[pulsar flume]

fair enpugh

enough*

[hoary trail]

I'm going to fit a RK3399 Mini SBC Dev Board in it. I'm going to go ahead and fit a battery inside it

[pulsar flume]

why didnt you get the cheaper one though?

also gl

[hoary trail]

The other one is actually thinner and harder to work with if I'm trying to fit stuff in it

This one turns out to have a lot of open space inside it

https://www.clockworkpi.com/product-page/devterm-kit-a06-series
I'm going to build a more modern looking version of this

If the display was actually angled upwards a little bit it actually wouldn't be such a bad device

Because then you can actually use it in a similar manner you would use a stream deck

[pulsar flume]

wow

[hoary trail]

This is not my picture by the way.

[spark hatch]

oh thats pretty cool

[hoary trail]

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Touchscreen-Ultra-Slim-Aluminum-1920×515P/dp/B09MJ5FLFC/ this is the cheaper more compact one

[spark hatch]

that does look quite nice

I'd use that if I wanted another display on a laptop

[hoary trail]

I prefer things like this for that.

I'd use it for PowerShell/Bash Console and custom Taskbars

Or for messaging applications

[spark hatch]

oh thats interesting

Ive never seen anything like that

[hoary trail]

Anyone know anything about the adata xpg summoner keyboard?:https://www.ebay.ca/itm/293283274429
I have this keyboard and I broke 3 of the keys (not just the keycaps but the actual switches) and I'm wondering if I can take them out and put other switches in

[fiery bane]

broke?

oh wore out

[chrome ocean]

spilled coffee and now they are stuck

[fiery bane]

uh

tear it down, maybe run some isopropyl through it?

afaik that kb isnt hotswap

[chrome ocean]

Alright, thanks

[coral ferry]

That's what you get for putting shit in your coffee

[coral ferry]

yes, soldering is a thing

[fiery bane]

if he wanted/knew to solder he wouldn't have asked

[chrome raft]

scratch tho

tactile bumps are generally sorta scratchy

[chrome raft]

ok first of all why is there a notch on the macbook air

it honestly looks like a fusion betwwne a 12 inch macbook, macbook air, and 14 inch pacbook pro

[hoary trail]

No idea kek
Marketing pics be funny

[chrome raft]

ikr

very stupid

[spark hatch]

q1 only good modded otherwise looks great

[chrome raft]

probably should lube the switches as well

and also film them

[spark hatch]

That's up to them

But I would assume if they're swapping springs they were already planning on doing that

[chrome raft]

you never know

you should buy some ergo clears from a second hand website like mechmarket

cheaper

[turbid jungle]

was planning on it

[worldly shale]

ergo clears aren't worth it

[worldly shale]

try and get akko blues

ergo clears are not worth it. too much work for a switch that tends to be scratchy and inconsistent

also way cheaper

they're a little less tactile than ergo clears but are like half their price and pretty great stock

[sweet thunder]

Just get durock medium tactiles

They’re basically ergo clears

[worldly shale]

way smoother as well

little more pricier

[past peak]

My keyboard

Amazing picture I knoe

Its mechanical with lubed cherry mx reds or something

[ionic briar]

ah, a leopold fc750r

very good prebuilt

[past peak]

How do you know that

I got it from my brother lol

He has some metal keyboard or something

Its expensive

[ionic briar]

The keycaps is distinctly leopold to my eyes

[past peak]

Ohhhh lol

[chrome raft]

What are the best mods for my Royal Kludge RK61?

[ionic briar]

is your rk61 hotswappable?

[subtle grotto]

i just realised my board sounded so muted and when i removed the 1 piece of pe foam it sounded more open which is better in my opinion and my coin mod was probably enough for it lol

[chrome raft]

nice kbd67r3

[chrome raft]

Yes

I don’t have the the machinery to solder, at least not at the moment however.

you should put a hole in your plate

I have it equipped with blue switches atm, which I like. I would like to add some foam and possibly silicone O-rings.

first of all get new switches

new switches would make the biggest difference

[ionic briar]

oh okay
then change the caps and retune the stabs

imo

[chrome raft]

you should replace with new stabs ngl

plate mount

[boreal heart]

Thx

[chrome raft]

sounds like capp

[past peak]

It isnt ill show it when I get home

My borther modified it

[chrome raft]

ur sure its lubed?

lubed reds

[past peak]

Yes

They are

[chrome raft]

nice

i recomend you try lubing the stabs

or get new stabs

Ah ok

[past peak]

They are i think

[spark hatch]

if someone lubes the switches Id assume they'd also lube the stabs

[fiery bane]

first step is to balance the wire...

[chrome raft]

or just get better stabs

just dont holee mod

holee modding is trash

[spark hatch]

I mean it does reduce rattle if you dont want new stabs

and its only mushy for alittle bit

[chrome raft]

it is mushy

feels like your typing on 2 rubber domes and a mechnical switch

[spark hatch]

they're only like that for acouple days in my experience

[chrome raft]

maybe

[past peak]

It was my brother's main keyboard he modded it alot

[chrome raft]

oh ok

[subtle grotto]

i believe some people actually used electrical tape instead of bandaids for holee mod

and i tried it, no squish

[spark hatch]

yea, I use it on cheap boards that aren't worth new stabs

[chrome raft]

oh

well i dont get why you would get cheap boards fi you not planning to use them

if

[wheat vigil]

what are the general thoughts on the akko 9009 Retro 3098B

[chrome raft]

9009 keycaps look good

[wheat vigil]

Currently own a Varmilo VA87

[spark hatch]

display, give them to friends and family, for 20-30$ every couople months gives me smthn to do

[chrome raft]

akko is a good cheap keycap manufacturer

[chrome raft]

idk if you want higher quality keycaps get the epbt9009

[unkempt dome]

I like the profile of the akko keycap on the 3068b

[wheat vigil]

I thought it was an entire keyboard

https://en.akkogear.com/product/9009-retro-3098b-mechanical-keyboard/

[ionic briar]

thats not from epbt tho

akko sell both the keycap in that colorway and a keyboard with that keycap on it

epbt just sell a keycap set with that colorway

whoopose

https://kbdfans.com/products/enjoypbt-9009

this is the epbt 9009

[past peak]

Ahhh yes keyboard nerds

Membrame keyboards are great

[undone dew]

Anyone knows how I can replace a falsely switch on a Corsair Stafe mk. 2 (Don't blame me, it was a birthday present AND I'm not in custom keyboards so I don't know anything abt soldering or smth like that)

[spark hatch]

didnt ltt just do a vid on how to replace switches?

[undone dew]

They did????

[past peak]

They did indeed

Its called like how to fix a keyboard for 1$

Or something like that

[undone dew]

Fixing my Wife’s $150 Keyboard for $1

Found it, thanks

[past peak]

Yep that one

[fiery bane]

you need to break it in

mushy means not broken in

also even good stabs soemtimes needs balancing

[chrome raft]

you have to know how to solder + desolder

[hearty cedar]

Imagine epbt

[hearty cedar]

The board is completely modded, fine tuned the switches as well, stabs where lubed a slight bit due to leopold having amazing stabs stock

And the current switches are gat yellows, lubed and worn in

This is my current board, and yes i do have an f13 key

[chrome raft]

I'm looking for a mid-range tenkeyless keyboard (without the numpad). Any suggestions?

Wired and RGB is preferable as well

[silent oyster]

MK sponsoring the WAN show is so cool to me lol, I've only seen them as a local keyboard shop but they got BIG as of late

[spark hatch]

keychron c1

very solid board for the price

[chrome raft]

i'll check it out

i've also been looking at leopold keyboards

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5661

it's not RGB but i've read it's really high quality and for a decent price

[supple gust]

Drop CTRL seems to be popular- but DON’T get it. It’s not like it’s a horrible board, but it’s definitely not up to snuff for its price.

I second either a Keychron or Leopold

Lmao autocorrected to “Leopoldo”

[spark hatch]

that looks alr

[chrome raft]

what cherry switch do you recommend? i don't know much about them

i'd assume it's mostly preference

[spark hatch]

make sure you do some reserch on the board before you buy tho

[chrome raft]

yeah i have been

[chrome raft]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4560

deciding to get this with silent red switches

i looked at switch comparisons and found that one to suit me best

[spark hatch]

dont know anything about that board but aslong as you did your own research looks good

[chrome raft]

silent reds and scratchy and very mushy

[unkempt dome]

I don't recommend cherry switches ... I recommend getting something else

[chrome raft]

yes

unless you get your hands on vintage cherry

[unkempt dome]

kailh silent box switches pink and brown, bobagum, gateron silent lineup maybe ...

[ionic briar]

a good prebuilt imo
leopold's cherry batches seems to be better than most of the gamer board sporting the same switch, and their build quality receive high praises

[unkempt dome]

doesn't leopold cherry pick them ? I think I remember seeing that somewhere ...

[shut flame]

what keyboard should i get thats 140 cad

i need a more quiter option

[ionic briar]

thats a speculation

[unkempt dome]

check the akko ones ...

or keychron K line

[ionic briar]

all i can say is that the quality of cherries from leopold is generally speaking better than most cherry prebuilts

[unkempt dome]

well I have a durgod fusion with cherry brown and I think that the ones in the old razer blackwiddow stealth 2013 I had were better ... at least smoother than the one in the durgod ...

so durgod probably have average cherry switches

[supple gust]

Definitely not cherry

I recommend Kaihua’s Kailh switches, especially the Box line- BOX Royal for a heavy tactile, BOX Silent Brown for a lighter one, BOX Burnt Orange is like the “Goldilocks” tactile in that line.

Clickies- I recommend the BOX White for a light clicky or a BOX Jade or Navy for a heavier, more tactile one

I’m not a linear guy but there are good linears in there too

[unkempt dome]

How is the tactile bump of the box royal ?

More like the burnt orange or more like the silent box brown ?

[high junco]

I just had the greatest idea ever

Okay?

Tempered glass keyboard case/keycaps

[coral ferry]

I just had the greatest idea. instead of switches, use a weighted dynamo for each key

[hearty cedar]

Glass keyboards have been made before

[high junco]

Damn my million dollar idea😢

[fiery bane]

cherry hg is shockingly good tho, at least the top for modding haha

that nylon housing 💯

[fiery bane]

too stiff, not gonna be fun to type on

glass caps with a good oleophobic coating could look cool but completely flat slippery caps is ehhhhh

[chrome raft]

cherry changed its manufacturing thing in 2017

i think

so like pre 2017 cherry switches are slightly different then current ones

so they might be smoother

[fiery bane]

have you tried hyperglides? it's crazy

[chrome raft]

what time period did hyperglides come from

[fiery bane]

2020

announced at 2020 ces

[chrome raft]

oh ok

[royal patrol]

[chrome raft]

so its different then regular cherry mx

[royal patrol]

anyone here used akko switches before?

[fiery bane]

the switches themselves are "not bad" but the housings are so good

[fiery bane]

yes

[royal patrol]

might put akko rose reds into a gk61

[chrome raft]

ok

sure

go for it

i dont have a lot of expirience with akko

but i heard many people recomending it

and its pretty cheap

so yeah

[fiery bane]

unless you want the actuation force of rose reds I'd recommend radiant reds over em

[royal patrol]

yeah i was looking at the rose reds specifically because theyre light

[fiery bane]

then whites?

vintage whites*

[royal patrol]

oh wow 35g

[chrome raft]

????

[royal patrol]

yeah vintage whites look great

i bottom out every switch i use regardless of type or weight so having them be 35g standard sounds nice

[fiery bane]

he wants light so i said the lightest akko switch that I remember

[chrome raft]

oh ok

[unkempt dome]

I have some akko

you won't find better switches for that price ... I'm pretty sure of it

well not in canada at least

[royal patrol]

yeah i think im gonna go for some akko vintage whites in a gk61

[unkempt dome]

never tried those ... linear ?

[spark hatch]

I think so

[royal patrol]

yeah

35g linear

4mm travel 3pin

$14/45, cheap asl

[unkempt dome]

yeah I will never get those ...

[worldly shale]

i daily them

very good switch

nice clacky bottom out and the spring makes the weighting feel less sudden and more drawn out. perfect light switch tbh

[worldly shale]

i started using KTT kang whites which are pom/nylon iirc and have a similar nice clacky long pole bottom out. only thing i don't like is the springs since theyre just regular 14mm but thats preference. are also a pretty fantastic switch for the price and are decently light if you wanna check them out

i think theyre about 40g but I could be wrong

[royal patrol]

thx for the rec but i think id rather go with the vintage whites

[fiery bane]

Gateron yellow

[unkempt dome]

Nope they are more expensive than what I paid my akko switches

At least when I bought them

[fiery bane]

really

Gateron yellow, 38cad for 70, 48cad for 110

Akko CS, 24cad for 45

50cad for 90

so for the 70 pack gat yellow it's 1 cent more per switch than akko

but 110 pack gat yellow is 10 cents less per switch compared to akko

so it's about the same, but Gateron is actually slightly cheaper

[unkempt dome]

paid more than that when I bought my yellow

paid about 65 for 110

[hearty cedar]

Milky top black bottom gats are goated

[unkempt dome]

I don't like gateron yellow

but those are great switches

[royal patrol]

i paid $28 for 90 akko vintage whites

dirt cheap

[unkempt dome]

we were talking CAD here ... not usd

[shut flame]

what keyboard should i get thats 140 cad include shipping in that price

[unkempt dome]

Some akko board maybe

Some keychron board maybe ...

[spark hatch]

what layout do you want

[chrome raft]

gateron x ( aka milky top yellows on steroids) are actually pretty good

[hearty cedar]

No shit

They have completely new molds

[chrome raft]

its polished

like the rails

switch rails

[shut flame]

any layout

[spark hatch]

have you checked out the keychron c1, its a pretty solid board for the price

https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-c1-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=32321247182937

[shut flame]

its sold out

[spark hatch]

no its not

Im looking at it rn

[shut flame]

with the brown and hot swap it is

[spark hatch]

ah you want browns, tbh buy a differnt switch

the gat browns arent very good

[shut flame]

ok ill do reds then buy switchs

that are better

omh shipping is a yikes

28 bucks

[spark hatch]

yea...

[shut flame]

it will cost me 118 cad

[shut flame]

what switchs should i get i got a extra 45 cad

[unkempt dome]

Akko lavender purple

[shut flame]

are they queit?

[unkempt dome]

Not ... they are tactile ... so not clicky but not quiet either

[hexed tree]

what's the difference between that and the k8?

[unkempt dome]

For good tactile quiet you want kailh silent box brown, aliaz silent or boba u4 ... but those will be more expensive

And there's some other that I don't know much about

[shut flame]

is there any slight cheaper options?
'

[unkempt dome]

Not that I know of ... not in the silent switches

Silent as in switch with dampers

what about those

[spark hatch]

do your own research I Dont have much experience with different switches. I use kenetic labs penguins

[unkempt dome]

No idea ... first time I see those

[subtle grotto]

unpopular opinion: poppy clack sounds better than thock

[crisp meteor]

^hated

...but then, I like linear switches 🤷‍♂️

(yes, bought with MX Speed Silver, and I'm not even sorry!)

[fiery bane]

perhaps outemu silent forest?

it's basically a slightly older gazzew u4

it's a gazzew design tho

what about this build

im not to sure on the board yet tho

[silent oyster]

Jeez these links 😂

[shut flame]

yea

[worldly shale]

Outemu silent greys for tactile and white for linear

Mercifully silent for the price. Silent grays have a nice light tactility to them (a little less tactile than an akko blue) but are mushy on the bottom out; shouldn't matter considering the bump though

[shut flame]

ima go with diced fruit peaches they sound nice

[subtle grotto]

hey everyone can anyone help me with picking out what frankenswitch sounds better? its just simple 2 simple frankenswitches. any feedback will be very appreciated.

for reference

[worldly shale]

Outemu housing + milky yellow sounds deeper but as a whole outemu reds > gat milky yellows tbh

Both in terms of feel and sound

[subtle grotto]

doesnt milky housing + gat red stem sound deeper?

[worldly shale]

Both sound deep to me

[subtle grotto]

try listening to both at 4 seconds

[worldly shale]

Barely a difference

If any

Both are similarly deep. I don't think theres a noticable difference

[ionic briar]

It depends on your keyboard, desk, air, temperature.
Don't expect your own Frankenstein to sound the same like the sample btw
Unless the samples are recorded by you

[subtle grotto]

oh it is recorded by me

[hearty cedar]

Quite light innit

[past peak]

My mans has keyboard

[subtle grotto]

irl the milky housing and red stem sounds deeper than outemu housing and yellow stem but the difference is minimal and the milky housing+red stem is significantly scratchier than outemu housing+yellow strm

[unkempt dome]

I would go for the less scratchy

Unless it's unnoticeable while typing ... which would be surprising

[urban glade]

Twice the weight of my N bb

Hope you’re well 💜

[subtle grotto]

i know someone with a keyboard thats 7kg

WAIT SORRY, I MEANT POUNDS

[gleaming atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/but-why-though-why-inception-gif-11943789

You using it as a weapon?

Never got the whole "heavy keyboard" crap. Do you pick it up and go "Oh yea, that's flippin solid" then set it back down regularly?

[boreal rivet]

"man i'm getting my money's worth"

[unkempt dome]

it's for self defense ... you can also plant a voice command activated c4 bomb in there ... add to the weight and make it sound godly ... keycaps and switches act as shrapnel

[chrome raft]

Uranium keycaps for extra damage

[unkempt dome]

yes totally ... those not dying will just get cancer in the long run ... that's what you get for trying to steel my keyboard

[chrome raft]

🙏

[subtle grotto]

I think some say its for that "premium feel". But i dont get why you would need a very heavy keyboard, my keyboard is just like 0.25kg lmao

thats with a steel plate and plastic case with some coins

the weight is enough for me lol

[coral ferry]

as an American, I insist my keyboard be at least 5/8 Kilgramme

"Item Weight ‎2.69 pounds"

[chrome raft]

its just a flex because heavier=higher quality and more expensive materials

[gleaming atlas]

Sounds like audiophile stuff

[chrome raft]

its wrose then audiophile stuff

worse

its probably better then audiophile stuff

you can buy a coiled cable for about like 70 bucks

thats better then audiophile stuff

[chrome raft]

thats the upper limits

Audiophiles buy 1k cables iirc

yeah

so its better then audiophile stuff

but people buy otd 356cl for 8k+

so its not better then audiophile stuff

[hearty cedar]

Long time no see

I am quite alright wbu?

Leopold fc750r

[spark hatch]

Nothing custome keyboard is ever instocl

Just wait for it be came back in stock

That's OEM so it's probably not very good, but if you just want a mechanical Keyboard and don't really care about acoustics and feel it's probably fine

Do your own research

You do care for feel and acoustics?

Alr probably not that then, oem keyboards don't care for acoustics and feels to much

Lmao

[past peak]

Asus keyboard

[spark hatch]

I don't really pay attention to manufactures like that, look on Reddit or smthn to see what people think of it

[past peak]

100% recxomend

[spark hatch]

Yea Leopold's are good

I think they said it was out of stock tho

[past peak]

Wait for it to be in stock

Idk

I think they have a 30$ flat shipping fees

But that would still be in your budget I think

Which one is that?

I'll jsut look nvm l.ao

Lmao

You want wireless?

[past peak]

I have a nearly wireless Leopold

[spark hatch]

I don't have that baord so I'm not too sure, look at what other people have said

Tbh I'd wait for Leopold or get the c1, that's my take

Yea

[past peak]

My keyboard be looking wireless

[spark hatch]

Oh wow it does, is there a hole under the desk?

[past peak]

Nope

[spark hatch]

What config?

[past peak]

It goes into my monitor stand

[spark hatch]

Ohh

That's smart

And what switch?

Wouldn't you want reds then

Also the browns for the c1 are not good

They're very scratchy and the bump is hardly noticeable

Do you know the difference between the different switches?

Red are linear, they have the lowest actuation force and the keystroke is a smooth motion

Browns are a tactile, they have a bump that tells you when the switch actuates

Blues are clickys and are the same as tactile but they are much louder and make a click sound

[past peak]

The Leopold has reds

[spark hatch]

I explained it, linear is a smooth motion, tactile has a bump

Alr

If that fits your budget yea

Oh yea

Asking as you get the hotswap model you can easily swap switches

Sure that works

They're palm wrests are actually quite nice

Np

If you want keycaps I'd look else where from keychron, there keycaps sometimes have quility control issues

[simple canyon]

Does anyone know of the model of the legion 5 with the 4 zone rub keyboard? Sorry if this is the wrong place

[spark hatch]

Drop has keycaps

[unkempt dome]

there's not such thing a switches for gaming ... it's only a matter of preference

you like tactile ... not brown ... brown are a kind of tactile within a whole universe of tactile switches

[chrome raft]

brown switches are a type of light tactiles

[unkempt dome]

ever so slightly tactile

[chrome raft]

kailh speed coppers

very light

basically better browns
