[daring zenith]

heh

[sharp kindle]

godammit

[tight pulsar]

no mhm doesnt mean i agree

[sharp kindle]

i cant live in this server

if each time

[daring zenith]

Nachos

what do you dislike about GMMK

[sharp kindle]

leo reccomends a keyboard and someone doesnt like it

and i say gmmk

he starts to fume

[tight pulsar]

the pcb is literal trash the only pcb worse is the alt

[tacit wing]

forget everything they said and get Razer Keyboard @rigid kayak

[sharp kindle]

i will not only reccomend the gmmk

[daring zenith]

what about it

[queen sigil]

lets see if i can find a pic

[daring zenith]

is trash

[rigid kayak]

trust me i looked at there line up was very dissapointed

[tacit wing]

get this pi nk one

it will get u the egirls

[tight pulsar]

1. its 3 pin
2. no clip in stabs
3. not really a great software
4. not usb c in 2020
5. switch pins are loose

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/no-ahhh-omfg-angry-mad-gif-13930010

leo when someone says gmmk

[rigid kayak]

im coming a havit keyboard mouse combi kit i bought for 40 bucks

[queen sigil]

no i say no to gmmm

gmmm

because im scared of nachos

[daring zenith]

1&3 are fine, went over that really

[tight pulsar]

1 is literally the worst part of it

[daring zenith]

oh then just say you don't like the 3 pin part

yea I get 5

[sharp kindle]

1. its 3 pin
2. no clip in stabs
3. not really a great software
4. not usb c in 2020
5. switch pins are loose
   @tight pulsar updated stabs, usb c now

[daring zenith]

2 might be an issue

[tight pulsar]

its a toss up if u get old stock or new tho

[daring zenith]

4 is meh

[queen sigil]

the full size isnt even detachable cable

smarty man

[sharp kindle]

they updated the stabs

they made the cable usb-c

[daring zenith]

1 is issue but we know

5 is only issue not mentioned

alright cool

[tight pulsar]

yes they said they updating it in q4 which means not all the boards shipping are updated because they cant make 1 million boards in 4 minutes

[daring zenith]

so there was nothing extra wrong with GMMK

[rigid kayak]

so gmmk bad???? uhmmm

[sharp kindle]

@tight pulsar they updated it as soon as white ice came out

smh

im in the glorious discord

[daring zenith]

Personally, 2&3&4 doesn't matter at all

[tight pulsar]

you literally said that they still have old stock

[daring zenith]

1 doesn't matter because I'm not far enough into the keeb market

[sharp kindle]

and according to the Glorious Keeper, they updated all of those already

[daring zenith]

5 with loose pins is the only thing

[sharp kindle]

he said that there is a small chance for backstock

[daring zenith]

I read about it before too, not too sure before.

[sharp kindle]

but people have not got a bad one in months

[queen sigil]

3 is pretty bad

[sharp kindle]

@rigid kayak its an ok board

[tight pulsar]

hm it was somebody else who said that but even still that leaves 3 problems

[daring zenith]

who really cares about software for keebs >:D

[sharp kindle]

3 pin is acceptable

[daring zenith]

if you need macros, c o r s a i r

[tight pulsar]

clearly u have never had via

[queen sigil]

no

die

[sharp kindle]

and i doubt hes gonna be creating layers, or different affects

[daring zenith]

jk

[rigid kayak]

im confused at this point

[sharp kindle]

if he doesnt like leopold let him get the gmmk godammit

[tight pulsar]

anyway just get a gk61 its cheaper the tkl is the only one i would slightly recommend

[queen sigil]

he wants full size

[daring zenith]

@rigid kayak alright, basically, Corsair and Razer off the table, just joking on those to start off.

[sharp kindle]

@tight pulsar he wants full size

[rigid kayak]

i just want a full size for keybinds for my different apps and streaming

[daring zenith]

Options are the GMMK, the leopard, and gk61.

[queen sigil]

no gk61

isnt an option

idot

[sharp kindle]

HE WANTS FULL SIZE

[daring zenith]

wait

[sharp kindle]

READ

[daring zenith]

god damn it

I forgot

[sharp kindle]

AYAYAYA

[daring zenith]

I have no god damn clue why

I thought gk61 was full

don't ask

[rigid kayak]

from what ive heard (and yall seem knowledgable) gat browns are my key of choice

[daring zenith]

idfk why I thought gk61 was full

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/blank-stare-really-i-dont-believe-you-side-eye-looking-gif-6151149

[daring zenith]

it has 61

in the name

[tight pulsar]

mhm varmilo has an full sized but its a little more expensive

[daring zenith]

so basically, GMMK with gat browns.

[sharp kindle]

my man drift started a full on debate

[timber ridge]

idk his budget but the durgod taurus is nice

[queen sigil]

its 125

usd

if u dont like how the leopold looks

[timber ridge]

its 120 for no lights

[queen sigil]

get it in a different color

Big IQ

[sharp kindle]

leopold looks nice imo

[rigid kayak]

125 if i come into some more money before i order maybe 150 tbh but rather not got that high when im already spending a 100 on a mouse

[timber ridge]

what mouse are you getting

[sharp kindle]

why are you spending 100 dollars on a mouse?

[queen sigil]

oh god

[daring zenith]

oh boy

another fire

[queen sigil]

you made another mistake

[sharp kindle]

lots of budget mice out there bro

[daring zenith]

hm

[sharp kindle]

oh nonono

[daring zenith]

model o

[sharp kindle]

MR1111 IS A MAN OF CULTURE

[timber ridge]

[sharp kindle]

yes

drift

[tight pulsar]

@timber ridge watch us

[daring zenith]

When is model o wireless releasing actually?

[sharp kindle]

[tight pulsar]

[sharp kindle]

or 70

cant remember

yep

[daring zenith]

ye wireless

I thought it was 69.99

[sharp kindle]

idk

cant rlly remember

[tight pulsar]

im fine with my wired one u can barely feel the cable

[queen sigil]

nuclear nachos eid u see the taeha types bauer 2 drop test

it was sick

[sharp kindle]

79.99

its 80 bucks

[rigid kayak]

corsair nightsword was 89 last i checked it out

[daring zenith]

aw

[queen sigil]

dropping a bauer 2

[sharp kindle]

what is it

wait

[tight pulsar]

yeah i saw a clip

[sharp kindle]

nvm

[rigid kayak]

its 79 now

[sharp kindle]

i was gonna saw mr1111 rlly like corsair

[timber ridge]

i kinda wanna go wireless but i barely notice the cable on my viper mini

[sharp kindle]

but i realized drift said that

[tight pulsar]

also theyre launching a bauer lite and joining on that cheap plastic gasket mount trend

[queen sigil]

he picked up his cats and I spammed to drop test them

oooohhh

yeah i saw on insta

[rigid kayak]

i tested one out and really liked it tbh

[queen sigil]

like injection molded and stuff

[rigid kayak]

really comfy

[timber ridge]

bauer so nice

[sharp kindle]

@rigid kayak whats ur grip and hand size

[queen sigil]

lies

[sharp kindle]

we can get u reccomendations

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge youve never tried a bauer

and neither have i

but linus tech tips has

and thats a shame

[rigid kayak]

not sure but like i said corsair night sword really felt

[timber ridge]

look wise

[rigid kayak]

comfy

[sharp kindle]

ltt made a metal keeb

[timber ridge]

its nice

[sharp kindle]

soooooooo

[queen sigil]

yes

that was thw bauer 1

[sharp kindle]

he also overpaid for mx browns

[queen sigil]

im pretty sure taeha told linus what keyboard to get

because dixiemech is a taeha sponser

[sharp kindle]

doubt it

i think linus just overpaid for mx browns

[queen sigil]

and taeha got to do a typing test for the finished metal keyboard

that was signed

[sharp kindle]

true

[rigid kayak]

but if there is a better/more comprable option ill take suggestions

[sharp kindle]

@rigid kayak im assuming because you like a corsair mouse

you use palm grip

[queen sigil]

ive tried maybe like 10+ mice

but the hyperx pulsefire dart is the most comfee

bit it expensive

[sharp kindle]

get a glorious model d

[queen sigil]

and heavy

[sharp kindle]

oh god

leo dont get angry

get a model d

its a good ergo mouse

thats lightweight

has a good cable

and good ptfe feet

something that corsair mice lack

[queen sigil]

actually wanted a model O or somethhing

[rigid kayak]

i do rest my palm on my mice

[timber ridge]

ptfe feet is op

[sharp kindle]

ok

get a model d

[queen sigil]

that was a while ago

[sharp kindle]

ptfe feet make ur mouse feel like its skating on butter

[timber ridge]

after you break them in a bit

oof

[sharp kindle]

glide

[timber ridge]

so nice

[sharp kindle]

so yeah

get a model d

and

now you have

[rigid kayak]

is it vented

[sharp kindle]

175 bucks for a keeb

[timber ridge]

you can bump up the keeb budget

it has the honey comb design

[sharp kindle]

leo is at your service @queen sigil

is it vented
@rigid kayak ?

[queen sigil]

huh

what

[sharp kindle]

he now has

175 bucks for a keeb

[queen sigil]

what

[sharp kindle]

because we cut the price of his mouse in half

do ur thing

not yell at me for liking the gmmk

give him a reccomendation

[queen sigil]

nobody buys expensive fullsizes

or custom ones

[sharp kindle]

aight i gtg

[timber ridge]

xd

[queen sigil]

people only buy like

[sharp kindle]

u aint wrong

[timber ridge]

leopold is still prob the best option

[queen sigil]

detachable numpads

[timber ridge]

for full size

unless he gets realforce or some

[queen sigil]

and macropads

[timber ridge]

topre op but expensive

[rigid kayak]

see thats why ilike the k100

[tight pulsar]

mhm id avoid topre as a first board

[rigid kayak]

but the switch options are ass

[queen sigil]

TOPRE

FIRST CHOICE

EZ PZ

[timber ridge]

220 for a corsair keep

oof

[queen sigil]

2 KIDNEYS

[timber ridge]

yea its like 400

for a reaforce board

[rigid kayak]

detachable or seperate numpad by a cable is fine to me (and might be be better bc small desk)

[sharp kindle]

mountain has a detachable numpad

[tight pulsar]

welp hes back time to be poor again https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/jrznuv/kr_h_otd_gmk_rare_keycaps_w_paypal_bank_transfer/

[sharp kindle]

@rigid kayak mountain ahs a keeb with a detachable numpad

but it costs above 200 bucks

[rigid kayak]

schooooo

[sharp kindle]

its called the mountain everest keeb

[rigid kayak]

i felt that punch in my gut

[brisk parcel]

@normal barn I had spotify

[timber ridge]

whats that new modular keeb

[brisk parcel]

premium

but DW @tacit wing I'll still keep my playlists up to date

just gonna disable media key use for spotify so I can just kinda have it open

[queen sigil]

no

[timber ridge]

nvm its the everest lmao

[sharp kindle]

the numpad also has like a small streamdeck

its the mountain everest max

[queen sigil]

mountain everest is like

[sharp kindle]

so if ur gonna try to stream

[queen sigil]

really expensive

[sharp kindle]

take a look

it is

i said that

[timber ridge]

i mean

[tacit wing]

i did a blind test between 320 kbps MP3 and FLAC and had trouble picking them out @brisk parcel

[timber ridge]

compared to the corsair one

[queen sigil]

like

[rigid kayak]

that ^ that may make it worth it alone

[queen sigil]

300$

[timber ridge]

its not too far off

[tacit wing]

i have lofi ears

[timber ridge]

40 bucks difference

or about

[brisk parcel]

I can pick them out so ha

might take getting used to as well

[sharp kindle]

it also has trash keycaps

so

yeah

abs

[tacit wing]

is tidal 320 kbps streaming?

[sharp kindle]

like rlly bad abs

[timber ridge]

i meannnn

abs could be good

[queen sigil]

what are we talking about

what keeb

[timber ridge]

but pbt still better

[sharp kindle]

the base keeb is 150 bucks

the numpad is 80

@queen sigil mountain everest

[timber ridge]

the numpad has a mini macro thing

up above it

[sharp kindle]

yeah

like a small streamdeck

[timber ridge]

its p cool

[sharp kindle]

but the base keycaps are REALLY BAD

[timber ridge]

feel like it should of been 250'

[sharp kindle]

well if they made better keycaps

[queen sigil]

it dowsnt matter if its like a streamdeck

if it doesnt have the same integrations that streamdeck has

thats what makes it good

[sharp kindle]

@rigid kayak the Everest keyboard's numpad can be placed on the left and right side

if thats appealing to you

still

its 230 bucks

[timber ridge]

it has to be attached tho right

[sharp kindle]

for a keyboard and numpad

thats detachable

its a detachable numpad

[timber ridge]

like you cant place it somewhere else

ik, but like if you wanna use it

it has to be attached

[sharp kindle]

oh

yep

thats the bad part

[rigid kayak]

yo cant just take a cable and attach the 2?

[timber ridge]

would be cool if it could work on its own

the num pad doesnt require extra cables

[sharp kindle]

not sure

[timber ridge]

you jus attach it to the main keeb and bam

it works

[sharp kindle]

badseed has a vid on it though

[timber ridge]

rfp does too

[sharp kindle]

i dont rlly like rfp

his reviews are very shallow

still

[timber ridge]

true

[sharp kindle]

he got some sick cinematography

[rigid kayak]

oof cherry only switche options

[timber ridge]

he jus goes over the surface

what switches are you looking for

[rigid kayak]

but they do got the browns but yall really pushed for gat browns

[sharp kindle]

gat browns > cherry browns

[rigid kayak]

i want the tactile feel my cherry blues give me but withouth the noise

[timber ridge]

cherry browns man

[sharp kindle]

ok imma go eat

[queen sigil]

[sharp kindle]

so cyall later

lmao

[timber ridge]

if you go with cherry browns youre not gonna get a tactile feel

its gonna be mush

[rigid kayak]

thats my gripe with reds

i tried red and silent reds and both felt like trash

[timber ridge]

too light? or you just like the tactile feedback

[rigid kayak]

tactile feedback

[timber ridge]

avoid cherry browns then lol

[rigid kayak]

thats why they said gat browns

[timber ridge]

i have to go now

hopefully someone helps you and you find the right keeb

gl

[brisk parcel]

Sorry Dino I just saw this, no it’s CD quality @tacit wing

They also have their tidal masters stuff

Pretty easy google

[west hornet]

i dont love the idea of mqa, i just stick to the cd quality

[tacit wing]

lmk how you like it @brisk parcel

ill consider a membership

[azure socket]

I had awful experiences with tidal

I canceled my service and I got charged I requested a refund because I did cancel and I sent them proof of it so they denied it and then I was able to get my money back through a chargeback but I've had the absolute worst experience with their customer service Spotify has been amazing to me

[tacit wing]

I had awful experiences with tidal
@azure socket ill take note of that

[west hornet]

I would imagine Spotify’s customer service is better but I just can’t listen to it very long for some reason

[calm cobalt]

tidal is great but their selection is definitely smaller

it also sometimes feels like the quality isn't necessarily higher but there's a special EQ they use?

or it's just straight up a ton louder

and the perception is that louder=better

[west hornet]

Ahh the good old loudness war

[thick copper]

Should I get a model O mouse?

[cold ridge]

Louder is always better pffftt

Aslong as the audio quality stays with the volume Increase

[warm rover]

whats the best brand overall for keyboards and mouses and such? i’m trying to rework my build and i think it’s time for new keyboards and such.

[daring zenith]

@warm rover simple answer

[tight pulsar]

otd pretty good brand tho

[warm rover]

well going off that would you have any recommendations for keyboard and mice?

[daring zenith]

Model O mice

Nachos will rip me a new one if I keep saying GMMK for keeb, so Ima let him give you a suggestion

[tight pulsar]

i have classes rn

[amber oracle]

@azure socket yes, that says something about the customer service. but it says nothing about the service itself

[calm cobalt]

Under $40 60% keyboard

??

[hollow kraken]

Anyone know if its possible to order replacement key caps for keyboards? I got the Corsair Strafe MK 2 and some of the arrow key caps have broken off.

[normal barn]

`

[soft rapids]

@hollow kraken i used to have a corsair k65 and i was able to buy a set of wasd/arrow keys that were the same color theme just not marked with the arrows/wasd

just look around and see if you can find anything

[hollow kraken]

thats the problem

I can't find anything

[sharp kindle]

@calm cobalt well look on aliexpress or some chinese sites

they might have some

i doubt they will be very good

get hyped boys

GMMK Pro is coming

[daring zenith]

I'm hyped

I might be able to say GMMK pro good without Nachos ripping me apart

but it also looks like a good keeb

[sharp kindle]

i think nachos and leo only hate the regular gmmk

[tight pulsar]

i dont care for either

[carmine laurel]

@calm cobalt banggood has sales rn so check over there

[sharp kindle]

poggies got it

[timber ridge]

should i cop black or silver

[queen sigil]

huh

[timber ridge]

for gmmk pro

[tight pulsar]

is it not filled up already

[timber ridge]

thank god

i woke up late

[tight pulsar]

ah nvm its not filled up

[queen sigil]

i wouldnt get a keyboard without reviews

[amber oracle]

you would have had a very very limited selection in the 90's then :P

[timber ridge]

lmao

[queen sigil]

i sent that like a week ago

not funny

old meme

[timber ridge]

didnt see it

[west hornet]

funnier the second time xD

[timber ridge]

20 shipping on 30 dollar switches hurts

[feral pulsar]

Ok so, suppose I move into an apartment that's all carpet and I put my gaming pc on my desk. Is it still at risk for static shock?

[sharp kindle]

@queen sigil its just a reservation

you can refund it

[eternal beacon]

you guys think the asceny one is better to buy than the gmnk compact white ice edition?

[lilac echo]

Ok so, suppose I move into an apartment that's all carpet and I put my gaming pc on my desk. Is it still at risk for static shock?
@feral pulsar you're gonna rub your feet on the carpet and then touch like the gpu or smth?

[timber ridge]

debating if i should go with gmk keycaps or not

[tight pulsar]

do u wanna wait a year to get keycaps

[timber ridge]

i was looking at some kits

and rainy days come around q1 next year

about the same time as the board

im interested in gmk rainy days and shoko rn

[sharp kindle]

gmmk compact bad

not worth it

[timber ridge]

man dont crucify me, ima buy a budget keeb with optical switches

[queen sigil]

who tag

man dont crucify me, ima buy a budget keeb with optical switches
@timber ridge but why

[timber ridge]

its 50 bucks and it comes with pbt caps

[queen sigil]

but why optical

[timber ridge]

there isnt an normal version

it only comes in optical

[queen sigil]

then like

get something else lol

[timber ridge]

not much options

besides the outemu options

if you can find me a keeb under 50 on amazon with pbt caps

linear switches and is high profile

ill cop

[sharp kindle]

didnt you get the gmmk pro though?

or reserve it?

[timber ridge]

yea

i need a temp keeb

bc my current one is defective

i press one key and it registers 10x

[sharp kindle]

wtf

wack

[timber ridge]

yup

[feral pulsar]

@feral pulsar you're gonna rub your feet on the carpet and then touch like the gpu or smth?
@lilac echo No. Like the power button for example

[timber ridge]

was gonna spend a bit more on my temp keeb, but i ended up buying my gf some peripherals n stuff

and you can jus put a cardboard box under your pc

and put it on carpet

[lilac echo]

@lilac echo No. Like the power button for example
@feral pulsar i mean my pc is on my desk and i haven't had problems for years

i built my pc on the carpet too so i doubt it'll happen

[timber ridge]

aslong as youre not touching core components

you should be fine

[lilac echo]

just don't purposely try and generate static electricity

[amber oracle]

@lilac echo generally, you will not be able to tell the difference between a DOA part and a part that you killed with static

[lilac echo]

yea

they finally made a gaming chair that looks ergo af

and not a Recaro racing seat one

still the whole "gaming" marketing schtick (for chairs atleast) needs to go

[lilac echo]

i can agree with that statement

anything that has "gaming" in the title is just yikes

[last plinth]

Its working

[tacit wing]

i understand gaming mice

[lilac echo]

that's different though

put when you start doing like "gaming monitor"

[last plinth]

I still cant believe i got a chnosa chroma

[tacit wing]

theres a few peripherals that have an exception

[last plinth]

memebrane switches

[lilac echo]

the cynosa chroma wasn't bad

that is for $5 tho

theres a few peripherals that have an exception
@tacit wing what would they be in your opinion

[tacit wing]

mice

and also i can understand gaming panels

because no one will ever buy a Zowie monitor for productivity

they make pure bred monitors for gaming

[lilac echo]

i mean i think monitors to an extent

i mean that could also apply to mice

no one's gonna buy a finalmouse for productivity

[tacit wing]

mice and monitors has a very thick line between productivity and gaming use

no one is going to buy an MX Master with the intent of gaming on it lol

[timber ridge]

i mean

there is always that rare 1%

[karmic vessel]

how does everyone feel about the model o- and the gmmk compact white ice?

[tacit wing]

buf if you put gAmInG on a chair i mean cmon bruh

[sharp kindle]

@karmic vessel model o- good

gmmk compact ok

[karmic vessel]

alr

thankyuh

[sharp kindle]

I still cant believe i got a chnosa chroma
@last plinth oh no

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-no-please-no-god-no-gif-5938426

[sharp kindle]

true lmao

[last plinth]

I used to have it

[eternal beacon]

anyone know if the asceny one is better than the gmnk compact?

[sharp kindle]

gmk?

or gmmk?

lmfao

[eternal beacon]

gmnk

[feral pulsar]

@feral pulsar i mean my pc is on my desk and i haven't had problems for years
@lilac echo In that case I just need a wide enough desk

[sharp kindle]

@eternal beacon i was referring to nacho's gif lmao

the compact gmmk isnt rlly worth it unless you want hotswap

[timber ridge]

why not jus get the gk61?

[tight pulsar]

backplate is done

[sharp kindle]

always has been

[timber ridge]

ooo under glow ?

[tight pulsar]

nah its a no frills pcb no leds

[eternal beacon]

always has been

[queen sigil]

A streamer said they wont build a Razer keyboard with cherry blues for me

[last plinth]

razer bad

[elder remnant]

razer okay

[sharp kindle]

https://t.co/Q7E3V9rzYv

glorious pandas batch two comes tomorrow

My qck is kinda ripped

@sharp kindle

[sharp kindle]

fire closest to qck

so get the fire

[last plinth]

Ok

What about ice

[sharp kindle]

ice is fast

can you please watch a review

before

asking

[queen sigil]

There's a 65% gasket mount gasket mount kit that GB just started for

250$ for everything including magic girl keycaps

i think it also comes with switches

[last plinth]

Theres no reviews

[queen sigil]

Portico from Thekeycompany

[last plinth]

ok

Wait

Its hotswap

[latent hull]

I think for my first custom keyboard I am going to use the kbd67lite (when it releases) lubed and filmed mauves from a seller I found and white on black keycaps from kbdfans what do you guys think I am trying to stay under 250

kbd67lite- 100, lubed and filmed mauves- 84, keycaps- 50

[queen sigil]

I mean i don't know how good of an idea it is to buy switches from a seller

KBD 67 lite is projected to be a good budget keeb

[latent hull]

I found them on r/mechmarket but I do get the concern

they have a buisness where they lube switches and film them but I get that it isn't enough to trust them

[queen sigil]

and also 84$ is kinda alot

[latent hull]

That is for them shipped as well and he has them already done but I get that

but I don't know if I feel confident enough to film and lube them

is it really that hard

because I really don't want to over lube the switches

[tight pulsar]

it takes a while

[queen sigil]

^

I wouldnt say it's hard

[latent hull]

yeah I get that

[last plinth]

It doesnt look hard

[sharp kindle]

-_-

[queen sigil]

@last plinth that's because all your information comes from youtube videos

[sharp kindle]

do it first

[latent hull]

if I do it would it be worth it to get a lubing station if I decide to do it

[sharp kindle]

lubing stations are definitely nice

[queen sigil]

no

lubing stations are basically all for orginization

[sharp kindle]

but you can do without one

[queen sigil]

they dont make it that much faster

just get a decent switch opener

[latent hull]

where should I get the lube and films from for the mauves

or should I get the NK creams

[tight pulsar]

deskeys film and where ever shipping is cheapest for lube

👀 if ur in ohio ik somebody who can do lube+film for 15+shipping :v

[latent hull]

no sorry Arizona 😦

would they still be good if I ship them the switches?

what about tx films?

[tight pulsar]

nah he just does local stuff on the ohio mk discord in nw ohio, tx films are still good options but people prefer deskeys or thicc films (around twice as thick as tx films and dampen/deepen the sound a little more)

[latent hull]

ok are the deskkey films compatible with the mauves

[tight pulsar]

yeah

the only mx style switch that has issue with normal and thicker films are creams, kebo films are thinner and much easier to use for them (anything thicker are hard to shut)

[latent hull]

how easy is it to film the switches as well?

[tight pulsar]

not hard once you do a few and learn how to do everything

[latent hull]

ok another question what is a good switch opener?

[tight pulsar]

none of it is really hard, its just really repetitive (open the switch lube it, film it, close it)

the 3d printed ones on thingverse are fine or if you want a more solid one they make aluminum ones, any design should be fine really just make sure its an mx opener and not a kailh box opener

[latent hull]

ok

kbd67lite- 100, mauves- 38.5, keycaps- 50, deskkey films- 7.00, krytox205g0- 12.00, switch opener- 11.99 this will be final cost before shipping and tax am I missing anything

[last plinth]

A brush for the lube?

i think

[latent hull]

that is like a small paintbrush

[tight pulsar]

yeah one of those tiny ones

[last plinth]

yep

[latent hull]

I have some around the house but those are like 3 dollars so

[last plinth]

U want sable hair brushes

according to reddit man

[tight pulsar]

yeah, only other thing you would need is a usb cable (and if you like working in an assembly line style maybe a lube station to open all of them and lube and film them)

@latent hull

[timber ridge]

leo that gb for the magic girl keeb is tempting

250 for everything op

[cunning hearth]

Lance should i custom build a keeb

Im thinking about gk61x kit +gateron yellow/red + geekbro keycaps

But im kinda new to this

@timber ridge

[timber ridge]

gk61 with gat yellows is one of the best budget combos imo

idk what geekbro caps are tho

hk gaming or whatever makes good budget keycaps

ks3 yellows are op if youre willing to order them off a less known site

[queen sigil]

its a decent set

its gasket and i think polycarb

I think the switches are like zealio clones or something

idk

it just says "tactile 67g"

Tactile switch with 67g spring. Tactile switches have a "bump" feeling when you press down on them.

Tactile switches have a "bump" feeling when you press down on them.

WOW INSANE

wait no they def arent tealio clones

or zelio

[timber ridge]

true, but

[tight pulsar]

theyre sp star purples pretty sure

[queen sigil]

yeah

[timber ridge]

even then, arent the keycaps alone like 130

[last plinth]

I would get alpaca if u dont feel like lubing

They have a nice sound and really smooth

[timber ridge]

150 for the keycaps

and youre getting switches, hotswap board and stabs

for 100

[queen sigil]

I would get alpaca if u dont feel like lubing
@last plinth you've never even tried them

[last plinth]

I have

[queen sigil]

hell you've never even tried a custom board

Sure you have

let me guess at a "friends house"

[timber ridge]

youre not considering price

[last plinth]

My friend bought a switch tester

[timber ridge]

yellows go for like 30 bucks for 100 switches

[queen sigil]

For magic girl the base set is like 150 because thats like a 150 key set

[timber ridge]

for 250, i think its pretty good value

not sure if its a good board etc

[queen sigil]

Its a pretty good value

for what they're claiming

like a gasket mounted fr4 sounds pretty nice

[timber ridge]

and 65% is op

[queen sigil]

and they got nice stabs

[timber ridge]

its tempting for sure

if i were to pick it up, i would go with the dark set

[queen sigil]

It's a pretty loud color scheme reguardless

[timber ridge]

then swap switches with something tactile

yea

[queen sigil]

The dark one has a nice looking case

[timber ridge]

kinda reminds me of the nk65

[queen sigil]

yeah

[timber ridge]

it ships pretty quick

q1

hmmm

maybe ill gift the keeb to my gf

get her into custom keebs

[queen sigil]

lol

you can both be poor

together

[timber ridge]

lmao

we already r

we'll jus be poor with cool keebs now

[queen sigil]

relationship goals

i wish that me and my girl/boyfriend can be broke making keyboards together

woooah

https://kiwikeebs.co.uk/product/kiwikeebs-macroboard-v1-round-2/

this has to be one of the best looking macropads ive seen in a while

if I see another sandwich macropads ima go insane

[tight pulsar]

whats the second image gotta do with peripherals

[tacit wing]

dropping memes on this channel like its a groupchat of your best buddies

[timber ridge]

lmao

imagine

[tight pulsar]

honestly dont know what to say about the ohio mk discord

[timber ridge]

bruh

[queen sigil]

it disturbs me how accurate that is

[timber ridge]

how do alpacas and mauve switches compare to something like yellows or black inks

[tight pulsar]

slightly higher pitched, more wobble, and smoother

[last plinth]

Lets go

Nk65 olivia edition coming soon

[timber ridge]

oh ok thx

i was debating if i should spend a bit extra on switches for my build

but gat yellows are so nice for the price, its hard to justify spending double for other linear switches

[elder current]

whats the best head set with microphone under 69 bucks

[last plinth]

Hyperx Stinger is decent

[elder current]

Is it good for like streaming

[timber ridge]

welp the switches sold out lmao owell

[queen sigil]

Is it good for like streaming
@elder current I wouldnt say any headsets are good for streaming

most headset mics are pretty

meh

[timber ridge]

use apple earbuds and a usb mic

😎

[queen sigil]

true

[elder current]

one thing i hate apple eardbuds

[timber ridge]

well, any earbuds will do

[last plinth]

honestly for 69 bucks ur options are limited by a lot

[timber ridge]

for streaming, i would prioritize the mic over your headset

/ earphones

[tacit wing]

if i am streaming id use whatever headset u have now and get a fifine

yes what lance said

[timber ridge]

fifine mic is like 40

[tacit wing]

your viewers would MUCH appreciate it

[timber ridge]

then spend the extra on a nice pair of budget iems

[tacit wing]

unless you want a stream like Souljaboy with a scuffed mic

which is pretty funny

[queen sigil]

or tyler 1

[timber ridge]

yea lol

leo the switches i wanted sold out

i should of put in the order earlier today

[queen sigil]

unless you got a good keyboard you're going to need a mic arm

because aint nobody wanna listen to your mic thats on the table

right next to your keyboard

[last plinth]

Fifine t669

And some random “gaming” headphones

[timber ridge]

might go with alpacas or mauves for the price

since the cap switches sold out

[tight pulsar]

just get whatever jwk linear is cheapest theyre literally all the same

[timber ridge]

i didnt look into pricing yet

but i heard that mauves, alpacas and h1s are all the same

[tight pulsar]

yeah every jwk switch feels the same the only difference is spring weight and color

[timber ridge]

i dont get my board til q1 and i havent decided on keycaps, so i might jus wait for restock on the cap switches instead

but alpacas sound p nice

and are pretty good for the price, its like 100 switches are about 50

[last plinth]

yes

[queen sigil]

@west hornet me when i play osu mania

except not me because I dont have clickys

clcikies

wait no

i have clickys

[timber ridge]

should of gave a warning

[queen sigil]

but I never use

[tacit wing]

leo back at it again

[timber ridge]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/coming-soon/products/coming-soonkbd67lite-mechanical-keyboard-diy-kit

this is tempting

might have to do 2 builds for 2021 lol

[west hornet]

Lol Leo

[hot delta]

@queen sigil my membrane keyboard sounds better

[west hornet]

I see now xD

[hot delta]

Membrane = superior

[queen sigil]

@timber ridge is NK65 entry gasket

[timber ridge]

i would take either

nk65 is always sold out

[queen sigil]

if nk65 entry edition comes out

im totally gonna get it for a gift

because its the perfect kit

for a beginner

has coiled cable and a carrying case

[timber ridge]

true

but the kbd67 lite looks promising

[queen sigil]

the KBD has ABS case i think

the NK65 is polycarb i think

[timber ridge]

yea its abs

debating if i should jus do two builds for next year

[queen sigil]

just get one

and save for a nice one

[timber ridge]

i dont think ill ever justify spending 500 on a kit

[queen sigil]

lol just get a kit that isnt 100$

[timber ridge]

might do that

i can do like a gat yellow with budget keycaps on the kbd lite

then go with inks/gmk caps or some with the gmmk pro

or kat

[queen sigil]

FULL METAL KEYCAPS ON 500$ BOARDS

POGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timber ridge]

lmao

[queen sigil]

yes

I saw a titanium keycap the other day

[timber ridge]

oof

[craggy canopy]

Are metal key caps worse than normal ones

Like do they get cold or hurt your fingers after a while

[queen sigil]

Huh

WHat?

[tacit wing]

yes they spikey

poke ur fingers bleed

[craggy canopy]

Seriously though

Like the metal ones

Because they’re harder do they hurt after a while

[queen sigil]

Okay

How many people do you think have metal keycaps

and enough to type with

[craggy canopy]

Idk

[timber ridge]

Its tempting to get another pair of switches

Cuz i wanna switch em and stuff

[normal barn]

u HAVE to get it
@tacit wing oh lmao

[sly axle]

are these good speeds?

[daring zenith]

no

[normal barn]

ehh

[daring zenith]

my school wifi gets better speeds smh

[normal barn]

lmao

my 10 years old laptop has better speeds

make that 11-12 lol

nooo

[normal barn]

theres no more anime role

[astral hinge]

my school wifi gets better speeds smh
@daring zenith there's this one spot in the school, the robotics lab... there's only 30 people who use it but we have 100 gigabit internet

[daring zenith]

dunno why upload is so god damn high

lol

fr?

[astral hinge]

mhm

it's so stupid

[daring zenith]

100gigabit

...

[astral hinge]

ik

ik

[daring zenith]

school got their own servers?

[astral hinge]

yea

we actually do lol

[daring zenith]

I didn't even know 100gb equipment existed

it's always 10gbe

[normal barn]

lol

[sly axle]

how isnt it good tho?

[astral hinge]

no it's 10x 10 gbe into a thing

and then that thing outputs it all together?

it's a weird box with like some 40 CAT ports on it

all I know is that we downloaded cod warzone- finished in 20 minutes, the ssd was the bottleneck

it's so dumb

I think it's because the school's internet gets passed thorugh that box

the tech manager won't tell us, bc he knows we'll try to do something wack

[wind chasm]

those uploads are nice compared to mine

since like lots of providers jack up download but upload is meh

i get like 6mbps for upload at most lol

[elder current]

guys i need a good head set with microphone idc if its wireless

[daring zenith]

@astral hinge ohhh I thought you meant you have equipment for 100gbe per device

like 10x10gbe switch makes sense

[astral hinge]

yea

lmfao no

100 gbe equipmeent exists

but it's like

300 grand? i think

what would you even use to transfer that

[daring zenith]

100 gbe per device would not exist for consumer products

just servers

[astral hinge]

yea

managing school servers are fun

[west hornet]

that speed is fine

[elder current]
