[queen sigil]

actually for a TKL keyboard

you cant get much cheaper than 40$

[viral cargo]

suggestio

[queen sigil]

so if thats all you got for a keyboard

thats all you can really get

[fast carbon]

true, and it also has full mechanical, and my budget is like 60 bucks

actually more like 70

[viral cargo]

so whats your sugestion for a key board between like 50-100 usd

[fast carbon]

idk, there are tons,

[queen sigil]

@eternal beacon depends what size you want

@viral cargo @fast carbon ^

[fast carbon]

yes?

ahh

[viral cargo]

what do you mean by diffrent sizes

[fast carbon]

ok

tkl is without the number pad, and there is full size with the numpad, which tend to be more expensive

idk the rest

[queen sigil]

https://keyboard.university/100-courses/keyboard-sizes-layouts

[eternal beacon]

i want a 60%

smol hands

[viral cargo]

i want full

[queen sigil]

i want a 60%
@eternal beacon GK61

@fast carbon if you can live with a 75% (has basically all the features of a TKL/keyboard without a numpad), I got a keychron the other day and it seems solid

[eternal beacon]

gk61

ill be back

gateron optical silver?

white option good

[queen sigil]

and @viral cargo whats ur rbudget

white option good
@eternal beacon stay off optical switches

find one that takes normal ones

[eternal beacon]

thats what the gk61 is

[queen sigil]

and make surer its hotswap if you dont know how to solder

[eternal beacon]

solder?

what the

i just wanna play some zombies

[queen sigil]

find one that doesnt take optical switches

[viral cargo]

under 100 reasonable

?

[queen sigil]

hmmm

im not that into full size keyboard

gimme a sec

[eternal beacon]

is the rk61 fine?

[queen sigil]

RK61s im pertty sure arent hot swap

[normal barn]

i mean for me 95% is hte best

[queen sigil]

also it uses weird RK switches

according to random people

i mean for me 95% is hte best
@normal barn read the context of what he wants

[normal barn]

wait wa

[eternal beacon]

95%?

whats that

[queen sigil]

Its a compact 100%

[normal barn]

well its basically full size but hey mushed it together

[queen sigil]

100% with no gaps and a moved nav cluser

[normal barn]

like this lol

thast my laptop btw

[viral cargo]

cursed

[normal barn]

but with older specs

[queen sigil]

cholax dont confuse people

[eternal beacon]

i dont like that

[tight pulsar]

mhm 96keys are weird

[normal barn]

bro leo stop bullying me

no bullly

[queen sigil]

mhm 96keys are weird
@tight pulsar which would u have 96% or 1800

[tight pulsar]

compact 1800

[queen sigil]

eyyyy

1800 is sexy

[viral cargo]

wow

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar what full size keyboard would you recommend

sub100USD

also listen to this epic case ping

[amber oracle]

[queen sigil]

yes nead

thats what it is

its epic music

[amber oracle]

hmmmm

[tight pulsar]

Kreygasm

[queen sigil]

hence why he is asking

:P

[queen sigil]

[cunning hearth]

I tik of u tit?

[amber oracle]

[cunning hearth]

Thats the first bit

[queen sigil]

no

[tacit wing]

dont tell me its an acronym for something

[cunning hearth]

Me confused

dont tell me its an acronym for something
@tacit wing lmao

[queen sigil]

dont tell me its an acronym for something
@tacit wing

maybe

[normal barn]

uhh

@cunning hearth bro whats the second part

[zinc thistle]

yo i wanna build my first custom keyboard for under 100 dollars

[normal barn]

im wating

[zinc thistle]

any rec on hot swappable kits

[cunning hearth]

@normal barn wat

Idk lol

[queen sigil]

anyways I gotta go drop off a keyboard

any rec on hot swappable kits
@zinc thistle Gk61

also i dont know what kit you want

actually gk61 is like ur only option

[thick plank]

things just pop on and off like 600 series Sennheisers
@tacit wing actually they should be twisted then popped on and off and if the housing bends at all you need to fold them too to get them in the housing

Also as anyone with experience adding and removing hifiman pads will tell you, it is a pain in the ass and if you dont do it perfect the first time the plastic will bend

[last plinth]

Dont mess up dino

[thick plank]

As in the plastic on the pads

(Which ironically also messes with the seal)

[west hornet]

well that sounds lovely lmao

[thick plank]

Those same pads used on the 5xx ironically I have and through not twisting them soft enough the adhesive on the rear where it wraps around the foam got loose and ruined my seal for my he5se

Does the same thing to them and messes up bass extension

I fixed them because I noticed it

[eternal beacon]

keyboard

[sharp kindle]

yes

keyboard

[tacit wing]

those proprietary clips on the earcups are a pain in the ass

[queen sigil]

did i heat keyboard

hear

[sharp kindle]

you did

[queen sigil]

poger

[pale lark]

Im looking into buying the Acer Nitro XV270 but I have a nvidia graphics card, currently im working with a gtx1060 and im upgrading later this year to a rtx3070 my worry is whether or not the monitor will be able to reach the 165hz advertised because it is only freesync compatible

[queen sigil]

#peripherals-and-displays

shoot

#old-monitors-and-tv

[manic sierra]

@pale lark well gsync/freesync shouldnt affect its ability to display however many Hz the monitor can provide

just syncs the frame rate to avoid stuttering and tearing

[lilac echo]

hola

[manic sierra]

hello

I only came in here for the monitor question I use Romer G's so I dont think I'm allowed in this channel..... LOL

[timber ridge]

if youre playin at 1080p, youll reach it

im getting over 144fps easy

[pale lark]

i just want to make sure its able to run 144hz because i had heard that without gsync its stuck at 60

[timber ridge]

nope

it can can do 144hz

im running 144hz on two monitors rn

[tacit wing]

this is it

audio endgame

[timber ridge]

not worth

[little crater]

worth

[west hornet]

100% worth

[timber ridge]

hyperx is endgame for gamers

[west hornet]

it has cat ears

nah pc38x endgame for gamers

[tacit wing]

should i buy the oibk keyboard and mouse as well

i am 100 percent down to ditch all my peripherals right now

[timber ridge]

show pic

[amber oracle]

@tacit wing thats from the matched set they launched last year isnt it?

[tacit wing]

all jokes aside

the pink Viper is pretty sweet

[timber ridge]

yea the viper is nice

[tacit wing]

idk about the grey and pink tho. weird color blocking

[timber ridge]

the other viper ultimates got mini updates too

compared to the og black one

[lilac echo]

this pink reminds of a sakura setup i want

[little crater]

razer pink

[timber ridge]

razer quartz

[little crater]

i would honestly use that mouse

ignoring the set, just the mouse

[timber ridge]

i was gonna get my gf the set

[tacit wing]

its pretty sweet

im gonna pocket it

im just playin

[west hornet]

looks pretty nice

[timber ridge]

but she ended up not liking the headset, so no point now

[west hornet]

pocket it

[tacit wing]

ok

[timber ridge]

i want the cyberpunk viper

[little crater]

razer updated their website

waaaiiiiit

[last plinth]

pocket it

[little crater]

nope, that was razer support website lol

[neon quartz]

dino 💤#8226 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tacit wing]

i have zero balls

i shouldve pocketed it

[last plinth]

Yep

go back and pocket it

[queen sigil]

this macro pad would be cool if it actually had a case

[tacit wing]

will the alarms even go off on a demo unit

[last plinth]

Check if theres a security tag

[timber ridge]

nope

[tacit wing]

idk if demo units are just dummies

that actually doesnt work

[queen sigil]

https://gyazo.com/f4068c7da341b2048795f16c48a1e8b0

[queen sigil]

[last plinth]

Check if thats on it

[queen sigil]

man says his M key wasnt working

[last plinth]

Or anything similar

[tacit wing]

cntrl ur a pro at this

[queen sigil]

he bent the pins and it didnt go into the socket

[last plinth]

yea i know

Is it on there?

[queen sigil]

wow cntrl you're so smart

he shoul definately pocket a mouse with no cable

totally best wireless mouse idea

[last plinth]

he can use his own

[queen sigil]

yeah

[last plinth]

Or buy one off razer

[queen sigil]

its a wireless mouse

You cant use a wireless mouse

without the 2.4ghz or rthe 5.0ghz reciever

[timber ridge]

all you have to do is buy the cable

[last plinth]

Yea lol

[queen sigil]

is it a wired mouse

[last plinth]

No

[timber ridge]

wireless

[last plinth]

Its wireless

[queen sigil]

so you're telling me a wireless mouse

needs a cable

[last plinth]

Leo ur keyboard man not mouse man

[timber ridge]

dino if you were big brain

[last plinth]

Get the cable too

[timber ridge]

should of bought a metal coffee mug or hydro

slide the viper in

ez

[queen sigil]

does the mouse not use a 2.4ghz USB rerciever

To connect the mouse to a computer

[eternal beacon]

is the viper mini a decent mouse?

[tacit wing]

the mouse has a lil compartment for the receiver

[eternal beacon]

the viper mini?

[tacit wing]

no

im not talking to u

[last plinth]

Either way he can profit off it

And wired

Dino is there a receiver in it

[queen sigil]

and also dont talk about stealing stuff on discord

[last plinth]

[queen sigil]

Reguarrdless

[west hornet]

there is slight chance it is tagged on the inside if it is for display only

[last plinth]

Just run if the alarm goes off

[west hornet]

some stores the sensors are positioned weird and there is small spot you can slip device through so it don't go off

dw im pro at this

[last plinth]

yes

[eternal beacon]

need something hot

[last plinth]

But if you do that ur gonna be suspicious

@tacit wing its time

[eternal beacon]

burn the “beeper”, essentially busting it so it cant trigger the alarm

[tight pulsar]

or just dont steal ez

[last plinth]

no

real

[queen sigil]

or just dont steal ez
@tight pulsar bro no thats too ahrd

hard

[eternal beacon]

slide in your pants and say you had a accident

[queen sigil]

dyslexia is retardd

[west hornet]

download from internet like ram

best way

[eternal beacon]

yes

[last plinth]

true

[eternal beacon]

free

[timber ridge]

would of been dino with the viper

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar my friend DMed me asking me why the keyboard I assmebled for him isnt working

[tacit wing]

im in tears

[west hornet]

its minecraft character

[queen sigil]

It turned out he BENT the pin and it wouldnt go into the hot swap socket

[timber ridge]

how did he bend a pin ?

[queen sigil]

idk

being dumb

[timber ridge]

did you make him put the switches back in ?

[queen sigil]

https://gyazo.com/f4068c7da341b2048795f16c48a1e8b0

read that

[eternal beacon]

no

[timber ridge]

did you bend the pins?

[eternal beacon]

slide it through the scanner on the ground

“yeeeeeeet”

none will see

ninja

[queen sigil]

did you bend the pins?
@timber ridge yes I totally bent the pins and gave them to him

but actually no i didnt

[tight pulsar]

mh bending pings isnt that uncommon

[queen sigil]

I assembled it and i think he took the switch out or something

[tight pulsar]

a few were bent when i built my tofu cause i didnt really know what to do

[queen sigil]

like a fourth of my pins came bent from KBD fans

[timber ridge]

i wasnt saying you did it on purpose

[queen sigil]

also this KBD fans switch and keycap puller

[timber ridge]

accidentally bending pins is an easy thing to do

[queen sigil]

is

SO

bAD

[timber ridge]

oof

isnt it like 25 bucks

[tight pulsar]

hm i should probably get a switch puller

[queen sigil]

isnt it like 25 bucks
@timber ridge LOL no

it was like 10 bucks

[timber ridge]

thinking of the wrong tool

[queen sigil]

https://kbdfans.com/products/product

this thing

IT SUCKS

[timber ridge]

the disassembly tool

[tight pulsar]

usually i can the switch out by poking the bottom with a lego rod or a chopstick

[queen sigil]

usually i can the switch out by poking the bottom with a lego rod or a chopstick
@tight pulsar you must be really good with chopsticks

I just use a flathead screwdriver

But this puller is actually so bad

:(

[tight pulsar]

no i just have one lying around i barely use them its not that hard

[queen sigil]

switch puller is bad

keycap pullerr is fine

[timber ridge]

switch puller looks flimsy on that

[queen sigil]

yeah

its really uncomfortable

and you need to put alot of pressure

[tight pulsar]

ive heard good things about the rama one i might pick that one up

[timber ridge]

ooo

looks cool

[wintry bramble]

should i buy the barebones drop alt and replace stabs and other stuf or make my own (trying to make a semi-custom hotswappable rgb 65% keyboard)

[timber ridge]

have you looked at other kits

[last plinth]

Barebones gmmk pro

It has a knob

[tight pulsar]

its also not a 65

[timber ridge]

isnt there a gk64 kit

its pretty cheap, way cheaper than the alt

[queen sigil]

I dont thing the drop alt supports PCB mounted stabs

[wintry bramble]

oop

[queen sigil]

so is it really worth upgrading

[timber ridge]

https://www.amazon.com/GK64S-Plastic-Aluminum-Keyboard-Bluetooth/dp/B07XCVFFZV/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=gk64&qid=1604968169&sr=8-2

[wintry bramble]

i posted this in the keyboard discord and got 1000% ignored

u guys the bomb

[queen sigil]

yeah thats because we have nobody to talk to keyboards about

[timber ridge]

ppl here actually know about keebs too

[queen sigil]

because its either dead or audio people argueing

[timber ridge]

some of us

[tight pulsar]

mhm thats still a 60 tho

[queen sigil]

isnt gk64 the 65% one

[timber ridge]

yea its 65

1u right shfit tho

im p sure

[queen sigil]

1U?

[tight pulsar]

its just a 60 with arrows keys same size as any other 60

[queen sigil]

oh yeah 65

[little crater]

65% goated

[queen sigil]

oooohhhhhh

[little crater]

60% cringe

[tight pulsar]

do u want to be blocked

[little crater]

hush

[tight pulsar]

[queen sigil]

[sharp kindle]

60 percent ok

[wintry bramble]

should i replace the stabs on that?

or just add switches and keycaps

[timber ridge]

mmm

if youre using this as an entry budget board

you can jus get budget caps and switches so you can get an idea

then save custom stabs etc for main build

[queen sigil]

C u s t o m s t a b s

[wintry bramble]

this is my first keyboard and probs for like 2 years are so

[tight pulsar]

thats what they all say

[wintry bramble]

sooo i wanna make it worth it

[timber ridge]

yea

once you build one

ggs

[wintry bramble]

ha but none of "they" have been me

LMAO

plus i don't have money to throw around

[tight pulsar]

no i was you and look at me now

[wintry bramble]

so it's one kb and that's it

@tight pulsar i have a mom who manages all my money

on top of that im 13

soooooooooooooooooooooooooo

highly doubt it

[timber ridge]

ooo

[queen sigil]

if you dont get a 500$ keyboard every couple of months are you even an enthusiast

[wintry bramble]

LMAOO

[timber ridge]

lol

mmm

[tight pulsar]

i got my tofu65 at 14

[queen sigil]

I mean

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

man

[wintry bramble]

is that the same thing orrrr

[timber ridge]

hes already 100x more mature than cholax already

thats a smart choice tho

i personally dont like the plastic case that comes with the kit

[wintry bramble]

yeahh

me big brain

[timber ridge]

and if youre building one keeb

i would go with an alu case

[wintry bramble]

oooo

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar do u know something I really want but shouldnt get

[daring zenith]

wassa joke

[sharp kindle]

membranes are crappy tactiles

very crappy tactiles

[daring zenith]

not tactile

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar I argued with someone who said razer black widow was one of his favorite keyboards

did I do good

[sharp kindle]

thats the point

theres a small bump

#Linear>Tactile club

[queen sigil]

i agree

[daring zenith]

tactile>clicky>linear

:P

[sharp kindle]

nonononono

how is clicky before linear

[sharp kindle]

clickies are no

[queen sigil]

@daring zenith blocked

[daring zenith]

[little crater]

tactile>linear>clicky

[daring zenith]

@queen sigil clickies are just tactile, except you need ANS

[west hornet]

linear > all

[daring zenith]

ha

[timber ridge]

linear>tactile>clicky>silents

[daring zenith]

can't beat that logic

imo tactile>linear tho

tactile feedback real nice

[little crater]

mine is technically really loud tactile, even though its louder than most clickies lol

[timber ridge]

but dont you like cherry browns

[daring zenith]

I did

[timber ridge]

you dont even know what tactile is

[daring zenith]

until I am techie

gateron is nice

[west hornet]

it slow me down in osu, no bueno

I dont need to know I pressed it

@west hornet 25g springs

getthose

ez pz

[west hornet]

[sharp kindle]

the tactile vs linear debate has potential

[daring zenith]

yea

[sharp kindle]

to be better than the glorious debate

[daring zenith]

clickies require ANS

[west hornet]

DEBATE TIME

[sharp kindle]

between me and leo

[tight pulsar]

lol should i put the pen spring in my spacebar

[timber ridge]

i mean

[queen sigil]

lol should i put the pen spring in my spacebar
@tight pulsar 150g springs

[sharp kindle]

even though that debate was us repeating the same thing

over

[timber ridge]

if all youve used is cherry browns, then you barely know what tactile is

[sharp kindle]

and over

[queen sigil]

Cherry SUperBlacks

[sharp kindle]

and over

[tight pulsar]

nah its 1.5lbs

[timber ridge]

its more mush than tactile

[west hornet]

i actually making a spider web to get ready for debate with someone xD

[sharp kindle]

i hate using a spider web

i just go in hard

probably why i was voted most aggressive delegate in high school Model UN

[tacit wing]

if all youve used is cherry browns, then you barely know what tactile is
@timber ridge they feel like linears to me

and im no keyboard man

the bump is nowhere to be found

[manic sierra]

They make those box royals for some super tactile junkies

[normal barn]

Da faq

[rugged lion]

r u okay with waiting a while>

[sharp kindle]

bro chill

[last plinth]

Dont want tkl

Im fine with waiting @ when done

[rugged lion]

if i were u i would wait for NK65 to restock, buy that,

[sharp kindle]

ok i gtg

[rugged lion]

i ahve the nk65 its the best entry board

[last plinth]

I see

[rugged lion]

so nk65 (like 90-100 buck if i remember correctly), gat black inks (like 25-30), that leaves u with barely 100 to get a GMK keycap set or if u want to save more get a HK Gaming Sublimation PBT keycap set (30-50 bucks)

so thats what I would do

actually a keycap set from https://keycapsets.com/ isnt gonna fit in ur budget

just get https://www.amazon.com/HK-Gaming-Dye-Sublimation-Keycaps/dp/B08156NG7K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sublimation+keycaps+hk+gaming&qid=1604975639&sr=8-1

then a nk65 when it restocks

[west hornet]

what the...

[rugged lion]

then get black inks and lube ofc if u want)

?

[last plinth]

Me no want lube

[rugged lion]

hmm

[last plinth]

Is there any better switches

[rugged lion]

wdym

[last plinth]

i need u

[west hornet]

were 100+ messages sent in like 5mins lol i thought i just looked here

[rugged lion]

for linears it really is worth it to lube

[last plinth]

To put all linear switches in google doc

[rugged lion]

theres like hundreds

u mean the high tier?

[last plinth]

Yep

[timber ridge]

arent ink switches like wayyy more

[rugged lion]

?

87 pack on banggood for 25 bucks so not rly

[last plinth]

High tier

[timber ridge]

v2s?

and im p sure theyre way more

ks3 yellows are like 27bucks for 90

im p sure inks are like 60-70

[rugged lion]

oh ut right

[timber ridge]

for 90 switches or about

[rugged lion]

@last plinth black inks are pretty high tier

[timber ridge]

yea

[rugged lion]

0.75 per switch

[timber ridge]

hes gonna have to settle for hk keycaps

no way hes gettin gmk

[rugged lion]

... u say settle like its bad

but i ahve hk keycaps :(

[timber ridge]

theyre not bad

[rugged lion]

hey man they really arent that bad

[timber ridge]

but jus not gmk level

[rugged lion]

i mean i would rather get gmk

[timber ridge]

if that makes sense

[rugged lion]

yeah haha

getting gmk for xmas so whatever

[timber ridge]

the only gmk set ive seen for 100 is the one on drop

the red samurai or something i forgot

[rugged lion]

@last plinth well u can make the keyboard then judge aftewards if u wanna lube

ah the red samurai

[timber ridge]

the kit is kinda cursed

[last plinth]

Im getting gmk

just cuz u said that

[rugged lion]

they are like 100+ per keycap set

[last plinth]

idc

[timber ridge]

yea

[last plinth]

lolz

[timber ridge]

like 130 or 160

[rugged lion]

most liekly youll be dropping 100-160 on it

[timber ridge]

yup

[rugged lion]

then ur going way over budget

[timber ridge]

if you find a set in stock

[rugged lion]

wdym?

https://keycapsets.com/

[timber ridge]

otherwise youre waiting a few months

[rugged lion]

sir that exists

[timber ridge]

[rugged lion]

[timber ridge]

[rugged lion]

https://thekey.company/products/jtk-night-sakura-keycaps?variant=32264826880089

[rugged lion]

anyone know a good backlit cherry mx brown (or similar) keyboard around $100?
@quasi shuttle gk61

[timber ridge]

depends on if you need num pad

or arrow keys

[rugged lion]

oh true

[timber ridge]

or neither

[rugged lion]

what form factor

i was gonna say rk61 then throw in some t1's

but yeah what form factor first

[quasi shuttle]

im gonna go for tenkeyless but i want arrow keys

[last plinth]

Is there a compact

[timber ridge]

gk61 is so easy to recommend

[rugged lion]

im gonna go for tenkeyless but i want arrow keys
@quasi shuttle yeah it has arrow keys

[last plinth]

75%

Kit

[rugged lion]

waht

[last plinth]

Compact 75% kit

[timber ridge]

?

like no gaps?

[rugged lion]

cntrlkey if im being honest idk any good cheap 75%'s

only one ik is from kbdfans and its not cheap

the nk65 is considered cheap in ur budget btw

[last plinth]

How much

[timber ridge]

theres a good keeb but its not hotswap

[rugged lion]

for all in all let me think

you;d have to solder too

yeah

im gonna go for tenkeyless but i want arrow keys
@quasi shuttle so 100 dollars, 80% tactile switches

ez

varmilo

https://en.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/product_indexsubject?layout=80&model=Theme keyboard

wait do u want hot swap?

[quasi shuttle]

is that where u can change the keycaps?

idrc about that if the keyboard looks good

[timber ridge]

if youre willing to spend extra for a aluminium case

[rugged lion]

hotswap s where u can change the switches

[timber ridge]

go with the durgod hades

[rugged lion]

@quasi shuttle do u plan on ever upgrading ur keyboard?

[quasi shuttle]

like changing out the switches?

no

[rugged lion]

or if ur into rgb get the gamakay k87

so yeah do the varmilo

whichever like color design u want

personally summit looks the best

https://en.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/product_indexsubject?layout=80&model=Theme keyboard

[quasi shuttle]

yeah i was thinking the same thing

[rugged lion]

really it looks 10x better in person

if u look at the f row

arrow keys

bottom row, etc.

enter, backspace, tab, etc.

its a very clean and nice keyboard and if u just want to buy a prebuilt and thats it no upgrades ever go for it

make sure u select browntho

their website is a bit wonky

[quasi shuttle]

hold up are the keys printed or backlit?

I'm planning on making this my night keyboard

bc I have a keyboard with ripoff blues already

[rugged lion]

there is a white LED in the keyboard

[quasi shuttle]

ok

[timber ridge]

i dont think varmillo usually ship with shine through key caps

[queen sigil]

i hearerd keyboads

[rugged lion]

i dont think varmillo usually ship with shine through key caps
@timber ridge they arent

[queen sigil]

who needs keyboard

[rugged lion]

however in between u will see white led

[quasi shuttle]

yeah it said it was backlit but i just wanna make sure i can see the letters at night :P

[rugged lion]

itll illuminate it enough whereu c an see it at night

youll be good

[quasi shuttle]

interesting

[queen sigil]

who needs keyboartrd

[quasi shuttle]

me plz

[rugged lion]

he wants a tactile 80% and i just said varmilo bc he wants a prebuilt

and isnt interested in upgrading

[queen sigil]

keychron

k2

[timber ridge]

k8

[queen sigil]

for noobs who dont want to clip or lube stabs

its good

[rugged lion]

keycaps arent as poggers tho

just gonna put that out here

[timber ridge]

k2 or k8 will do

[rugged lion]

there

[queen sigil]

lol what

what do you consider PoGgEr KeYcApS

[rugged lion]

varmilo summit.

and gmk different story tho

[queen sigil]

what makes the varmilo so expensive exactally

[quasi shuttle]

the summit's lookin pretty pog but the main thing is that I can see what the keys are at night lol

[queen sigil]

its just some top print keycap set

you can get keycaps like that for 30$

[rugged lion]

the summit's lookin pretty pog but the main thing is that I can see what the keys are at night lol
@quasi shuttle u can white led in the keyboard

[queen sigil]

plus they only have cherry options

[rugged lion]

its a high quality keeb tbh

true tho

i wish they had more options

[queen sigil]

Also the print on keycaps have no difference on the quality

[rugged lion]

like they just scrapped the idea of cherry and said okay u can do t1's, gat yellows, black inks, and box jades

[queen sigil]

as long as its doubleshot

[rugged lion]

no ik they just look sick

[queen sigil]

PBT

the keychron k2 I got came with prelubed and preclipped stabs

andcome with backlight keycaps

[quasi shuttle]

lol im just struggling to understand how a light behind the key will help with seeing the key letter without shine thru :P

[queen sigil]

and have gateron switch options

[rugged lion]

stabs are prelubed or switches

lol im just struggling to understand how a light behind the key will help with seeing the key letter without shine thru :P
@quasi shuttle okay join vc

[queen sigil]

i said stabs

[rugged lion]

ill show u

general 1

[queen sigil]

lol im just struggling to understand how a light behind the key will help with seeing the key letter without shine thru :P
@quasi shuttle just trust me

[rugged lion]

wait

[queen sigil]

if you need to see your keys when typing

top print/dye sub keycaps

arent going to help

[timber ridge]

jus use discord light mode ez

[queen sigil]

[timber ridge]

no need for shine thru

[rugged lion]

loooooll

[queen sigil]

its also hot swap

butits not in stock rn

[rugged lion]

@quasi shuttle im not 100% sure how bright varmilo's LED's are tho, i have a nk65

maybe go with the keychron

up to u

[queen sigil]

Don't get a keyboard because of it's keycaps

[rugged lion]

very true

[quasi shuttle]

jus use discord light mode ez
@timber ridge lmao its pages like these why i wear sunglasses if im using the computer past midnight

[rugged lion]

infact dont get a keyboard that has keycaps

thats ur first mistkae

[queen sigil]

what arer you saying

[rugged lion]

@timber ridge lmao its pages like these why i wear sunglasses if im using the computer past midnight
@quasi shuttle u know dark mode exists

[queen sigil]

why wouldn't youget a keyboard with keycaps

[rugged lion]

im talking aobut higher quality stuff

[queen sigil]

That seems like a really dumb thing to do

[quasi shuttle]

infact dont get a keyboard that has keycaps
@rugged lion man I want individually wired switches that arent even on the board

[rugged lion]

i.e. bauer 2, kbdfans stuff, custom builts ya know

just nvm i was making a joke

@rugged lion man I want individually wired switches that arent even on the board
@quasi shuttle lmao

[queen sigil]

@rugged lion man I want individually wired switches that arent even on the board
@quasi shuttle That exists if you want to do that

[rugged lion]

imma just buy like 20 stream decks

[quasi shuttle]

@quasi shuttle u know dark mode exists
@rugged lion I do, and I still wear sunglasses :P

[rugged lion]

@quasi shuttle ur monitor has a brightness feature lmao

[last plinth]

I think i want that

[quasi shuttle]

yeah but with no backplate

so its just a bunch of switches on my desk

[rugged lion]

@last plinth yeah but its gonna be over ur budget all in all

[quasi shuttle]

@quasi shuttle ur monitor has a brightness feature lmao
@rugged lion its at 0

[rugged lion]

@last plinth u then need to also buy a PCB, plate, foam, switches, and keycaps

[quasi shuttle]

im joking lol

[last plinth]

bruh

is there something else then

[rugged lion]

u migt just wanna wait for the GMMK Pro

[last plinth]

yep

[rugged lion]

thats what i'd say

[last plinth]

What switches

[rugged lion]

u said linear right?

[last plinth]

Yea

[rugged lion]

so barebones kit is 170, gat black inks will be another like 60-90 ish

thats already past ur budget and ur missing keycaps which at minimum will bel ike 30-50, or 120+ if u want gmk

if ur okay with that (itll be a really sick keeb) then sure

but its gonna be expensive

[sharp kindle]

cntrl isnt getting AS expensive of a pc or audio setup though

[queen sigil]

cntrl you've asked us for keyboard recommendations before

when are you gonna take our rercommendations

[sharp kindle]

@last plinth you gotta make a decision quick cause reservations for GMMK Pro are on the 11th

at 11 am ct
