[brisk parcel]

I know, ewww alienware

but

$250

compared to $1400

[tacit wing]

Alienware makes stellar panels

[brisk parcel]

they kinda do though

but

still overpriced

[tacit wing]

their panels are just as good as how bad their PC's are

[brisk parcel]

but still hot as hell

yeah

their PCs are not great

[tacit wing]

they make great fast IPS panels

[timber ridge]

i need dual 1440p monitors

the scaling is terrible with 1080p and 1440p

[brisk parcel]

why get dual when you can just have one crazy wide and crazy big

[timber ridge]

i regret not going ultrawide to begin with

[brisk parcel]

lowkey hope the panel is a little taller

[timber ridge]

but my setup was a budget setup

[brisk parcel]

can anyone verify that?

[timber ridge]

that somehow transitioned to a mid tier

[brisk parcel]

like is an ultrawide panel still taller than a standard widescreen?

because that would be poggers

[tacit wing]

this was my setup last October

but theres a huge difference now

i have this on the corner pog

[tight pulsar]

yooo

[brisk parcel]

singular tube at the top obv

[timber ridge]

[tight pulsar]

how much nicer is the blue light filter/glasses

[tacit wing]

my wallpaper engine is lewd

[brisk parcel]

lmao

[west hornet]

Phone camera can be ok, very dependent on lighting

[brisk parcel]

like on your phone, and use f.lux on your PC

your eyes and your body will thank you

[timber ridge]

i cant even have a nice wallpaper bc the scaling will never work

[brisk parcel]

[west hornet]

Wallpaper engine community is scary

[brisk parcel]

another thing that will help you sleep well

DRINK WATER

[timber ridge]

if you shower b4 sleeping itll help

[west hornet]

Now I suddenly feel a bit thirsty

[timber ridge]

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

ik some ppl who have a super cluttered desktop and you cant even see their wallpaper

[brisk parcel]

it's called right click

view

then click "show desktop icons"

so it turns off

[tacit wing]

i dont like super cluttered desktops, it feels like its slows my rig down lol

[brisk parcel]

then I use the file explorer to access it

or I have a folder on my desktop called desktop

[tacit wing]

i used to have this on my vert

[brisk parcel]

which has folders in it

for sorting

[timber ridge]

i use to have a weeb wallpaper until i upgraded to 1440p

now it doesnt line up

not a gamer moment

[west hornet]

Maybe some zeos wallpapers

[brisk parcel]

oooh

OOOOH

ZEOS WALLPAPERS

[west hornet]

He links all of them lol

[brisk parcel]

I'M NOT GETTING RID OF THIS MONITOR ANYMORE IMMA SET IT UP VERTICALLY WITH A ZEOS WALLPAPER

[timber ridge]

plz

thank

[tight pulsar]

does tidal have a free plan?

[brisk parcel]

they don't

do have a pretty ballin student discount

I pay the same for tidal hifi I did for spotify prem

[tight pulsar]

o

[timber ridge]

how much is discount

[brisk parcel]

50%

[timber ridge]

man

[tacit wing]

i pay 10 bucks a month with student discount w/ Tidal Hifi

[brisk parcel]

^

[timber ridge]

this audio stuff is actually gonna hurt my wallet

[brisk parcel]

lmao

[tacit wing]

and the thing is i dont even have an MQA DAC to decode their master files so i just stick with CD Quality

i do believe Tidal has like two plans

[brisk parcel]

you don't have an MQA dac?

do you need an mqa dac?

[tacit wing]

no i dont

Schiit doesnt buy MQA only a few brands does

iFi and Topping

[west hornet]

Tidal nice for quality and suggestions, lacking in song selection for me anyway, I am not a fan of mqa but they don’t force it so ok, and lack of assistant support

[tacit wing]

i havent really heard MQA on a certified DAC so i cant really judge it if i like it or not

i have heard that its a lossy format

[west hornet]

Mqa I don’t like because proprietary non free lossy format

Strangely when I used tidal on the go , I didn’t experience more cut outs from connection than Spotify

[tacit wing]

anways i dont really care if its lossy or not im just curious to how it will sound like compared to FLAC or CD quality

i did ABX testing on FLAC vs 320 kbps MP3 and its a hit or miss for me depending on the track

[swift lantern]

most likely, the same!

[tacit wing]

http://abx.digitalfeed.net/

[west hornet]

I have to do that one day but generally I noticed it was mp3 when hearing some edm and metal

Mostly the chaotic songs, softer pianos were harder to tell

[tacit wing]

so its like easier to tell on brick wall recordings?

[west hornet]

Basically lol, those kind of song are the ones I can notice instantly what headphones or sometimes format it’s in

[tacit wing]

Topping D90 has a 100 dollar difference between non-MQA and MQA versions lol

[tight pulsar]

lame

[west hornet]

Ye they have to pay a lot to get certified. Same as the artists they have to pay to get mqa for song

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

it don't even matter

I guarantee 10000%

just get flacs

the audio industry never heard the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

[tacit wing]

theres still no replacement for the convinience streaming provides

[west hornet]

I still running foobar and Plex, maybe I should use streaming platform for recommendations once in a while or check out last fm

[tacit wing]

the only reason why i signed up for Tidal is because i dont want to dump my drive with FLAC

despite having this much room lol

[west hornet]

I only have ~70gb of wav and flac last I check

[queen sigil]

1:02

ignore

[west hornet]

Phone storage scarier tho I only have 64gb

[tacit wing]

theres a foobar app wtf

my current mobile audio setup is scuffed

i wanna move past dongles and get a BTR5

both my and my xduoo aint cutting it

[sharp kindle]

happy birthday @queen sigil

i accidentally clicked on your profile and saw ur status so have fun dude

[queen sigil]

you too

[west hornet]

My mobile setup is tin t2, apple dongle and either foobar mobile for offline or Plex for while library online

[tacit wing]

apart from dongles and bluetooth receivers? is there another solution for mobile audio source?

http://www.lucidlaboratories.com/shop-1/cmoy-headphone-amplifier

[west hornet]

Hmm well I forget what they are called but there are MP3 player sort of things. I used to have iPod shuffle haha

[tacit wing]

o the DAPs

https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Resolution-Lossless-Bluetooth-Spotify/dp/B07L8P8QDY?ref_=ast_sto_dp

portable audio is a whole 'nother rabbit hole Christ

[west hornet]

Maybe that it

If you travel a lot I say worth, if not than phone is fine

[night vessel]

aight, so i have gateron browns, and i feel like theyre kindof light, and i wish they were more tactile, howver i cant have something thats super loud

[timber ridge]

youre having errors?

[timber ridge]

not too many prebuilts offer tactile switches other than gat browns and mx browns

you could try goin the glorious route and get glorious pandas, theyre super tactile but youre gonna hav to build for that

[sharp kindle]

i dont think hes ready to spend 70 cents per switch yet lance

[worthy shell]

hi I want to set up a kvm switch or something that let's me use my 3 monitors, keyboard and mouse on my work laptop and gaming pc

anyone know how?

[stoic solar]

buy kvm

plug in

use

experience input lag

stop using

[swift lantern]

oi dino, just get a battery amp

like a q1 or whatever

[swift lantern]

https://www.newegg.com/p/0TH-009Z-00094?Description=fiio q1&cm_re=fiio_q1-_-0TH-009Z-00094-_-Product&quicklink=true

there's a q1 and a q3, don't see a 2 though

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

in a very weird way, the q1 actually has more output power than q3

[tacit wing]

these dongles are not cutting it

[swift lantern]

q1 does 190mW at 32ohm while q3 does 160mW at 32ohm

but the q3 has a more advanced DAC and a bigger battery by 400mAhs

ah but the q3 does have balanced and can do up to 300mW at 32ohm over that

[tacit wing]

Fiio seems to have like a plethora of mobile audio sources

[swift lantern]

yeah like st00pid amount

they make at least a dozen mp3 players

seems like you personally would be a fan of q3

oh wow it has 4.4 and 2.5mm balanced, either or, kinda..

[tacit wing]

so its basically just a big ass dongle

[swift lantern]

yeah I wish there was a better method of afixxing it

[timber ridge]

thats huge

[swift lantern]

you could do what I'd do

do you know what I'd do

[tacit wing]

i had my eye on the BTR5

[swift lantern]

I honestly don't want to fw bluetooth until everything has ldac

[timber ridge]

@tacit wing they kno

[swift lantern]

some important btr5 specs

550mAh is a terrible battery capacity but it do be pretty tiny

something to keep in mind

mfw my $180 phone supports ldac

[tacit wing]

ok the thing with the Q series is that its basically just big dongle thats gonna leave a huge bulge on me pocket

with a BT receiver i have my phone on my right pocket and the receiver on the left

[swift lantern]

I feel like the Q's should just come with a clip

Like no joke, clio that thing to the outside of your pocket

[tacit wing]

DUDE t

the Q's look like one of them liquor flasks lmao

[swift lantern]

Yeah not even joking I think affixing a clip would make it fine

[tacit wing]

yes

[swift lantern]

But how to affix it

[tacit wing]

uBTR has clip pog

[swift lantern]

Could just gorilla glue it and call it a day I suppose..

[swift lantern]

Yeah but bluetooth stinky

And only 550mAh

Although, those media buttons seem nice.

Hmm....

I wish phones came with a multi purpose button

Like a skip track/pause buttonn

[tacit wing]

iFi Hip Dac looks pog

[swift lantern]

Got me a 3.5mm right angle thing

Why are balanced cables significantly more expensive than single

They can't be all that much harder to manufacture

[tacit wing]

im not familiar with their anatomy

[swift lantern]

I don't even think they can transmit any actual data

[tacit wing]

no lol

i regret spending 48 dollars on this stupod orange dongle

[swift lantern]

They just need to make 3.5mm 2

[tacit wing]

bruh

[swift lantern]

What

What is the purpose of XLR

[tacit wing]

its all about Pentaconn gang

[swift lantern]

Huh

I really don't get why audio so weird

Why so many cables maaaan

[tacit wing]

the reason why theres so many balanced connections is because, well they never really moved past it

as to why there is XLR, pentaconn and 2.5 idk

but theres options

[swift lantern]

They should standardize this stuff man

Just have 3.5 and 2.5 bam DONE

[tacit wing]

Apple had the right and wrong idea

no headphone jacks

alot of ppl seem to have durability issues with 2.5 and would rather have pentaconn

[dire nymph]

I got blue switches.

They are too clicky

How fix?

[stoic solar]

o rings

[dire nymph]

nooo

too much o ring

[tacit wing]

[little crater]

phish

[worthy shell]

@stoic solar could you recommend a kvm

please

[stoic solar]

i only know enterprise ones lol

if ur gaming dont use 1 tho

intorduces lag

introduces*

[timber ridge]

new keyboard or lube the hell out of it

[dire nymph]

55 gallons?

[timber ridge]

if u can afford it

[west hornet]

Pro connection very common in studios or events, good as a long distance connection

[stoic solar]

Xlr is nice

[tacit wing]

what kuzu meant was how does balanced 3 pin XLR outputs compare to pentaconn or 2.5

and they're essentially the same outputs afaik

[rugged lion]

imagine not having keycaps worth double your keyboard

[swift lantern]

oh right cuz there's also 3 pin xlr vs 4 pin xlr

waaaaa

[normal barn]

space cables i htink

[twilit finch]

okie

[fluid dove]

so ive been using a large extended cloth mousepad for a few months now and the part where I move my mouse the most is not as smooth as the rest of the mousepad.

[normal barn]

https://spaceholdings.net/

@fluid dove i mean sure

@twilit finch https://spaceholdings.net/

[swift lantern]

[tight pulsar]

[cunning hearth]

For pudding? Probably

[granite elbow]

@cunning hearth are there better keycaps that are dark grey/bblack with colored keycaps on the side ex tab would be blue

[cunning hearth]

Hmm

[last plinth]

kbdfans.com

[granite elbow]

@last plinth should i get double shot pbt?

[normal barn]

@granite elbow i mean

hyperx pudding keyccpas brings out the true beaut

and re better than double shot pbts

[granite elbow]

alr

i found these keycaps that are nice asf but they are hella expensive

[normal barn]

puddding bring s out hte true beauty of rbg

[queen sigil]

What type of keycap are you looking for

[normal barn]

under 45$

[queen sigil]

i asked for what type

[normal barn]

i recomnded hyperx pudding

[granite elbow]

black/grey colored control settings colored

[normal barn]

since they bring the rbg

out

[granite elbow]

cherry prof

[queen sigil]

Yeah dont get pudding keycaps

[normal barn]

...

ok man

[queen sigil]

@granite elbow can u send a pic of a switch

or do u know if its north or south facing switches

[granite elbow]

its gateron yellows with a durgod venus

if that helps cause i lost my keycap puller

[queen sigil]

I need to know if you got north or south facing switches

[granite elbow]

uhhh lemme google it

[queen sigil]

Because cherry keycaps dont like north facing switches

[granite elbow]

im not sure

;-;

[queen sigil]

bottem out feel weird

[tight pulsar]

@granite elbow can u see the gateron text on the switch

[queen sigil]

i dont think

he took off the keycap

[granite elbow]

i lost my keycap puller

[tight pulsar]

u can still just pull it off

[queen sigil]

random pic on google from "durgod venus"

looks like north facing

[granite elbow]

its not those for sure

[queen sigil]

@tight pulsar does OEM switches work with north facing switches

its yes right

[west hornet]

finally my koss 1 week late

[granite elbow]

@queen sigil ive pulled my switch before

it doesnt look like that

[tight pulsar]

yeah it works

[queen sigil]

ok

[tight pulsar]

if it didnt why would they put it on keyboards lol

[queen sigil]

so its only cherry that feels weird

with north switches

[tight pulsar]

uh there might be a few other profiles

[granite elbow]

the durgod venus

has multiple switches

[queen sigil]

i mean im assuming the more common ones for keyboards are like

[granite elbow]

i think those r box kalih jades

[queen sigil]

all fine

like DSA XDA OEM etc

[granite elbow]

mine are like normal switches

[queen sigil]

So you just want like darker colored keycaps

[tight pulsar]

also it has south facing switches

[queen sigil]

bruh

oh well

[sharp kindle]

please don't get pudding caps

[sharp kindle]

shipping on kbdfans is 25 bucks bro

he said 45 bucks max

smh

[granite elbow]

yesh ^

they are nice

but hella expensive

but very nice

@queen sigil my switches are gateron yellows

[queen sigil]

switch type 90% of the times doesnt matter

[sharp kindle]

if cherry pbt BoW or WoB are in stock on novelkeys, get those

[queen sigil]

so u want switches

[sharp kindle]

theyre 50 bucks

[queen sigil]

with backlit

[sharp kindle]

but good pbt

just a solid keycap set even though it looks basic

[granite elbow]

tbh rgb doesnt matter as much as schmexy keycaps

[queen sigil]

[granite elbow]

@sharp kindle what is novelkeys website

[sharp kindle]

novelkeys.xyz

[daring zenith]

blank keycaps with rgb is nice

[sharp kindle]

i think

[queen sigil]

that should be right

Black on white is always a solid option

kinda basic for alot of people tho

[tight pulsar]

@daring zenith no blanks are lame

[granite elbow]

my whole setup is black

so white would look kinda wierd

also thoughts on razer viper ult ?

might get

[daring zenith]

no u

[sharp kindle]

blanks are hit or miss for people

you either love it or hate it

[queen sigil]

https://novelkeys.xyz/products/cherry-pbt-white-on-black

[granite elbow]

i forget ,y leus

my keys

[sharp kindle]

more worth it to get the Model O Wireless

[granite elbow]

bc bad typer

[sharp kindle]

the angle snapping is very minor and isnt a problem 99.9 of the tie

the clicks are better

and if ur getting the ult

its 50 bucks more expensive than the MOW

[daring zenith]

MOW backorder tho

[sharp kindle]

so spend the saved money on keycaps

ez clap

[daring zenith]

if you need a mouse now, might be worth ult

[sharp kindle]

good point

[daring zenith]

no idea when I'm gonna get ma MOW :P

[granite elbow]

im getting

[daring zenith]

they estimate Q1 2021 shipping

sadly

[sharp kindle]

at least you dont have to wait 9 months for keycaps

[daring zenith]

maybe I will

my wrist rest was in the same order so uhm

it's gonna ship together with my MOW

[sharp kindle]

ouch

[last plinth]

ok

[granite elbow]

alr so what keycaps

[last plinth]

alibaba

[sharp kindle]

cntrl wtf

no

alibaba keycaps are sus af

[granite elbow]

my mom wont trust chinese websites

only like amazon

[sharp kindle]

good for her

[last plinth]

ah i see

[sharp kindle]

from novelkeys

[granite elbow]

but it'd stand out

[sharp kindle]

its basic, but amazing value

[granite elbow]

my keycaps are alr black

[queen sigil]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/770423343270723584/788097845110636564/20201213_194353.jpg

[granite elbow]

i just wanted some aesthetic

[queen sigil]

[daring zenith]

I like the stock keycaps on my k8 :P

[last plinth]

DansGame

[granite elbow]

@sharp kindle lmao

[daring zenith]

It seems problematic, but think about it, when have you gotten food on your mouse?

[sharp kindle]

you can get grip tape

[granite elbow]

well yes

[sharp kindle]

it covers the holes

[granite elbow]

that\

[daring zenith]

I don't think I ever have, even though I eat on my desk, crumbs get on the keeb not the mouse

[granite elbow]

is extra af

[sharp kindle]

and makes it so your less affected by sweat

[daring zenith]

yea my gpw gets sweaty after a bit

[cunning hearth]

wait @queen sigil cherry profile keycaps dont work on north facing sockets?

[daring zenith]

need to wipe it, mow should be good

[queen sigil]

they work

bottem out feels weird

[sharp kindle]

theres a bit of interference on the bottom out

[cunning hearth]

hm

hmm

do u know if dz65 is north or south?

[sharp kindle]

its why companies usually use OEM profile for their default keycaps

[tight pulsar]

heres a vid for the north/south stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh93sXRh4x4

[cunning hearth]

mk thx

[sharp kindle]

:3ildcat should be a hand model

[calm cobalt]

any websites to buy affordable AZERTY (french) layout mechanical keyboards ?

[sharp kindle]

you can remap the keys via software

[cunning hearth]

uh just like reprogram the pcb with qmk firmware

[sharp kindle]

^^

should work

[cunning hearth]

most pcbs have some kind of software to remap keys

[calm cobalt]

i mean i need the actual keyboard to be azerty

with accents and stuff

the keys do not correspond to Qwerty

[granite elbow]

@sharp kindle should i just save up and get these https://kbdfans.com/collections/cherry-profile/products/enjoypbt-abs-doubleshot-mechanical-keyboard-keycaps-set or these https://kbdfans.com/collections/cherry-profile/products/epbt-abs-doubleshot or these https://kbdfans.com/collections/cherry-profile/products/gb-gmk-aurora-polaris

[neon quartz]

Wangson#2343 has been warned

OIJFKLSDJFLKSJFKLSDJF FJLSDKJFLKSDJF

WTF

[cunning hearth]

okok chill man

[sharp kindle]

its cause they are very exclusive

[granite elbow]

Can i just drive there and pick it up

[cunning hearth]

LMAO

they

are in germany

[granite elbow]

ill ask my mom to drive their

I

[sharp kindle]

it legit takes that long to produce

[tight pulsar]

lol they havent even made them yet

[sharp kindle]

lmfao

[granite elbow]

WILL

FLY

THEIR

[sharp kindle]

look at this dood

[cunning hearth]

it takes like most of the time

[sharp kindle]

just buy aftermarket gmk's at that point

[cunning hearth]

to actually make the keycaps

[sharp kindle]

yep

cause the manufacturing process is very dank

[cunning hearth]

dank boi

[last plinth]

how did he go from 45$ budget to gmk?

[sharp kindle]

i told him to get a MOW

[tight pulsar]

yeah they were decent before, but qc has hit the rails with the spacebars, and the whole colors and texture issues, future funk is delayed to like jan/fed but my crp set should be shipping before it and i ordered in june for like $100 vs 160 for future funk

[sharp kindle]

instead of RVU

which saves him money

[last plinth]

ah yes

[sharp kindle]

plus he says hes saving up

one of two

[last plinth]

he can order from drop

[sharp kindle]

cntrl gonna call me a glorious shill

in 3

2

1

oop

nvm

[last plinth]

glorious shill

[cunning hearth]

mhm

[sharp kindle]

frick off

[last plinth]

cant he order from drop

quicker

[sharp kindle]

buh

drop is a wack company

plus

he might not like the products from drop

[last plinth]

still gmk

[tight pulsar]

u still have to wait a few months for drop

[granite elbow]

shipping is gaw

gae

[sharp kindle]

bro the keycaps are hard asf to make

[tight pulsar]

also sidenote heres shipping times/updates for drop and gmk stuff https://drop.com/talk/63324/pre-order-status-update-thread?discussion=true

[sharp kindle]

legit the manufacturing process takes a very long time

[last plinth]

https://drop.com/buy/drop-carina-mechanical-keyboard-kit

😯

[cunning hearth]

drop is strange

[sharp kindle]

very

dna65 looks sketch tbh

i think nachos and leo will drop dead after seeing the pcb

drop dead

[tight pulsar]

well yeah its gonna be sketch lol

[sharp kindle]

get it

haha i funny

[tight pulsar]

as long as the pcb isnt as badly designed as the alt on i could care less about how it looks i just care what features it has

[last plinth]

pcb’s by themselves are expensive no?

like 30-50

[granite elbow]

why cant they just mass produce keycaps

;-;

[tight pulsar]

they do its called not gmk

[rugged lion]

lmfao

its called not being a group buy

[rugged lion]

certain websites have keycaps that are mass produced like kbdfans (just off the top of my head) theres more.

[granite elbow]

why is gmk so hard to make ;-;

[sharp kindle]

the two enjoypbt ones arent group buys

just saying

[rugged lion]

epbt

[sharp kindle]

yep

he got

epbt abs

wtf epbt

[rugged lion]

the name epbt is misleading.

its just a name

[sharp kindle]

why you making abs caps omfao

wait its lance

[tight pulsar]

if its confusing just call them enjoypbt

[rugged lion]

no.

the issue isnt the e vs enjoy

the issue is the pbt lmfao

@granite elbow bc the point is they are rare/exclusive

and once they are done they are done

[sharp kindle]

^^

[rugged lion]

if u could just buy gmk mizu it wouldnt be worth 300+ dollars

[sharp kindle]

you can pay a crap ton on the aftermarket

[rugged lion]

i just bought gmk spirit for 300 dollars.

[sharp kindle]

not worth it though imo

[rugged lion]

if it was mass produce it would be worth like 60

[sharp kindle]

unless your a 12 year old tfue fan with mommy's credit card

[rugged lion]

true

im also buying modo 2 but thats different

i can justify that

[granite elbow]

they should mass produce cause like they would make more in the end

[rugged lion]

u seem to misunderstand

[sharp kindle]

the exclusivity of it is the point

[rugged lion]

^^^

[sharp kindle]

and its extremely hard

to mass produce

[granite elbow]

that is disappointing

[sharp kindle]

why do you think the time for it to ship is 9-12 months

[rugged lion]

u also seem to understand

misundertstnad

even if they were mass produced they would not be as common as u think bc they are abs

and the name GMK would lose its meaning

[granite elbow]

are abs hard ?

[rugged lion]

what

[sharp kindle]

good point

[rugged lion]

no

[sharp kindle]

wtf

[granite elbow]

why are abs good

[sharp kindle]

its plastic

[rugged lion]

abs is easier to work with

[sharp kindle]

its easier to get bright colors into abs

[rugged lion]

abs develops shine

yeah

[granite elbow]

oh

[rugged lion]

only reason they use abs is for colors

which does suck but the shine is overrated its not that bad

and its quality abs

[sharp kindle]

but they use very good abs

[rugged lion]

whatever that means

[sharp kindle]

not crappy abs on alibaba keycaps

[rugged lion]

ik i was kidding

[last plinth]

does abs feel better than pbt

[sharp kindle]

the enjoypbt abs caps you sent have nice abs too

[sharp kindle]

preference tbh

[granite elbow]

@sharp kindle which ones?

[sharp kindle]

v

https://kbdfans.com/collections/cherry-profile/products/enjoypbt-abs-doubleshot-mechanical-keyboard-keycaps-set

those

[granite elbow]

oh

[sharp kindle]

no wait time

which is ez clap moment

[granite elbow]

BETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[sharp kindle]

be warned though

its kbdfans

[rugged lion]

the best mass produced keycaps in the market hands down are the hk

[sharp kindle]

its a chinese company

so shipping is

[rugged lion]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085249L6R/ref=twister_B081575MZ6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[granite elbow]

[sharp kindle]

[granite elbow]

but they dont have black

[sharp kindle]

oh no

[granite elbow]

the uuuh Hk Gaming

oness

[sharp kindle]

ok

theyre p good

[rugged lion]

modo light and symbiosis are similar

[lyric hinge]

Need some help finding a keyboard if anyone has suggestions

[rugged lion]

to black

@lyric hinge budget?

size?

[lyric hinge]

As compact as possible, but still includes a function key row

[sharp kindle]

75 percent then

[rugged lion]

so 75%

[tight pulsar]

i have no feelings towards hk gaming as a company but they have pretty decent keycaps

[rugged lion]

@lyric hinge what is ur budget

[lyric hinge]

No budget but I don’t want to waste money

[rugged lion]

so a custom board then

i'd say id80v2 or gmmk pro

[sharp kindle]

(its a waste of money for most people bro)

but ye

[rugged lion]

@lyric hinge linear clicky or tactile

[lyric hinge]

Not clicky lmao

[tight pulsar]

lol i dont wanna waste money and no budget are like the worst things to look for in a custom keyboard

[rugged lion]

id80v2will come sooner gmmk pro is slightly better it is gasket mounted iirc

[sharp kindle]

HE IS A MAN OF CULTURE

[lyric hinge]

That’s half the reason I want a new keyboard

[rugged lion]

good

so linear or tactile then

what will it be

[lyric hinge]

Fair, under 150 is ideal

[sharp kindle]

oop

[lyric hinge]

If you want a number

Linear

[rugged lion]

150 for the whole board u cannot get a custom 75%

[sharp kindle]

gmk pro barebones is 170

[tight pulsar]

gAsKeT mOuNt BeSt MoUnT

[sharp kindle]

aight keychron it is

[rugged lion]

id80v2 is 200 xd

yeah

[lyric hinge]

I’ll check those out, just looking for suggestions

[sharp kindle]

the id80v2 and gmmk pro are barebones

so no switches and keycaps

i think you need stabs fro id80v2

[rugged lion]

https://www.idobao.net/products/idobao-id80v2-75-hot-swappable-mechanical-keyboard-kit
https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/glorious-gmmk-pro-75-barebone-black-reservation

[lyric hinge]

I also have a 3D printer

[rugged lion]

that wont change much

unless uw wanna 3d print a keycap

[sharp kindle]

please dont do that

[rugged lion]

lol

[granite elbow]

lmao

[rugged lion]

like 3d print an escape key would be cool

dont do like wasd or space

[sharp kindle]

the GMMK Pro is in pre order rn

if you are to order rn

i think your order will be in flex batch

[rugged lion]

yeah id80v2 will come sooner like in a weak

[cunning hearth]

are the hk gaming pbt keycaps good

from amazon

[lyric hinge]

I wouldn’t print key caps

[rugged lion]

gmmk pro will take some time

[lyric hinge]

But maybe a case

[rugged lion]

they are amazing

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BKSK6GY/ref=twister_B081575MZ6?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

[sharp kindle]

so after the first batch ships in q1 2021, your flex batch board will ship

[rugged lion]

printing a case means u will have to solder probably

its not worth it to print a case

its gonna be a piece of crap

[tight pulsar]

what does printing a case have in relation to with soldering a pcb

[rugged lion]

name a 75% hotswap pcb

[granite elbow]

good black keycaps with color command pieces 45$ max

[rugged lion]

xD

[rugged lion]

why would u just want plain black

@tight pulsar thats why

[granite elbow]

not plain black

colored tab etc

[sharp kindle]

GET WoB

[granite elbow]

greyn maybe

[swift lantern]

The headphones

[rugged lion]

just search like banggood or soemthing idk

[swift lantern]

Are mine

MINE

[granite elbow]

@granite elbow my mom will only lemmer buy off amazon

@rugged lion

[rugged lion]

@lyric hinge so if ur budget is 150 u basically cannot get a 75% its not happening thats custom u have to get a prebuilt

[sharp kindle]

yo wtf is greyn

[rugged lion]

uh okay let me think

he meant green prob

[sharp kindle]

a mix of grey and green?

[granite elbow]

grey

grey

grey

grey

[sharp kindle]

okey

[rugged lion]

black is so lame tho

[granite elbow]

grey and like other colored esc keys/tab etc

[sharp kindle]

white ftw ngl

white goated

black overrated

too bad the GMMK pro isnt e white

i guess i gotta bust out the spray paint

[granite elbow]

lmao

[rugged lion]

@lyric hinge varmilo has nice 80% boards https://en.varmilo.com/keyboardproscenium/product_indexsubject?layout=80&model=Theme keyboard

i cant think of any 75% prebuilts

keychron has some actually https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Wireless-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B07Y9Y69N7/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=75%25+mechanical+keyboard&qid=1607971518&sr=8-4

[sharp kindle]

ye, keychron

[rugged lion]

i just linked it

[sharp kindle]

ye, mb

ok i gotta stop saying ye

[rugged lion]

oh

u mean yeah

[sharp kindle]

first time i was talking to you

second time i was mocking your name

[rugged lion]

oh

[lyric hinge]

@rugged lion Keychron looks like a winner. Thanks!

[rugged lion]

go for it

do the gateron red switch v2 for linear

brown is tactile

blue is clicky

[swift lantern]

Blue very clicky

the Theiaudio Phantoms... Are mine

[storm drum]

yes.

[sharp kindle]

pogjuice

apparently gmmk stabs are prelubed now

[swift lantern]

Bro these are Sundara competitors

That I got for $150 less than sundaras

P O G

[honest trout]

would you go with the novel key creams or the gateron yellows (I am going to lube which ever one i get)

[swift lantern]

@tacit wing

It is time

Also why are you impossible to ping without clicking on

[rugged lion]

gat black inks or alpacas or tangies or jwk's

those are all good switches

definitely dont get creams imo

yellows are decent but kind of budget

[queen sigil]

nk creams arent bad

but they over just

[rugged lion]

they arent great compared to other mid rangted

[queen sigil]

over rated

[rugged lion]

yeah

scratchy

only buy them if u love the sound of u want to frankenswitch

[sharp kindle]

creams are overrated and you have to break them in. All the reccomendations ye gave are nice

[rugged lion]

thanks

note tho tangies (tangerines) have a different sound

kind of hit or miss

[sharp kindle]

they have virtually zero spring ping though, right?

[honest trout]

hmmmm

[sharp kindle]

jwk linears are also very nice

silks are decent

black inks are heavier

[honest trout]

Yeah, I dont want heavy switches, I would like to get tangies but it wont look good on my keyboard

[sharp kindle]

?

what

no

how

[queen sigil]

big brain

[sharp kindle]

unless you have a floating switch keyboard it wont be a problem lmfao

[queen sigil]

nothing like having a keyboard with no keycaps

[sharp kindle]

ez moment

[honest trout]

I have a low profile keyboard

[queen sigil]

[sharp kindle]

nooooooo

[queen sigil]

why would you buy a low profile keyboard

[honest trout]

I have another keyboard in my closet that is high profile

[queen sigil]

then use that

ez

[sharp kindle]

he might not wanna desolder

and resolder

[rugged lion]

u dont see the switches

lik ever

[sharp kindle]

he has low profile bro

he will

[rugged lion]

idk they are quiet and also easier to carry ig

[queen sigil]

lol wdym

high profile keyboards dont go over the keycaps

[honest trout]

I could use my high profile one
