[queen sigil]

they're still the same size

[honest trout]

I know but then they would be covered up better

[sharp kindle]

well then thats an easy decision isnt it

[honest trout]

tru

Are the tangies hot swappable?

[queen sigil]

lol what

[honest trout]

my keyboard is hot swap

[cunning hearth]

wym are switches hotswap

if ur keeb is hotswap

any switches will be able to hotswap

[queen sigil]

as long as ur keyboard has 5 pin switch compaibility

[rugged lion]

@honest trout it depends on ur pcb

[honest trout]

I know a lot of people hat this keyboard but I am using the drop ctrl high profile

[cunning hearth]

that is hotswap

so u can hotswap the switches

simple as that

[queen sigil]

nope

[honest trout]

the tangies will work?

[queen sigil]

cntrl is only 3 pin switches

[brisk parcel]

the secret sauce to the family gift has been delivered 👀

[queen sigil]

because garbage

[brisk parcel]

so my mom wanted to buy the fam a new TV

so I had to help her pick

but little does she know

I bought backlighting

[cunning hearth]

just clip the extra feet

[brisk parcel]

which will be a surprise even to her 😎

[queen sigil]

ez 2 hours of your time

clipping feet

[cunning hearth]

well

it can easily take 6-7 hrs to lube switches

keebs are time-consuming

[queen sigil]

yo you gotta be

really slow

to take 6 hrs

[cunning hearth]

well

first timers

can take 6-7 hrs

clipping feet shouldnt take 2 hrs tbh

[queen sigil]

lol not even first timers

even without a switch opener you can easily lube a switch in like 3 min

[cunning hearth]

hm

¯_(ツ)_/¯

maybe like 4hrs

[lyric hinge]

ok here's a thought

https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-Connectable-Hot-Swappable/dp/B08M3KPXV5/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rk84&qid=1607975272&s=electronics&sr=1-2&th=1

anyone used rk kludge?

[queen sigil]

not me

[lyric hinge]

If it was black I'd be buying it rn. Still might.

[honest trout]

so I could just clip some feet and it fit

?

[queen sigil]

i mean

yeah

[honest trout]

ok, thanks

I will put all my faith into people on discord

[sturdy sinew]

what is the best mic for overall use for under 300 that is xlr

[rugged lion]

clipping feet does niot take 2 hours (depends on board size tho)

[sly warren]

So, the cable to my new keyboard was DOA.

Thankfully the one that came with my Razer Huntsman TE works with it (Sorta.)

[sharp kindle]

NOOOOO

RAZER

[sly warren]

Ok, it finally stopped being picky. I'm now using the cable that came with my Oculus Quest...

lol

[brisk parcel]

any of you here good at math>

?*

I need help with a problem, I haven't mathed in 2 years and I'm tryna help a buddy

[sly warren]

You know what is good at math? A calculator.

[west hornet]

Finally got em

[tacit wing]

YOOOOOO

I shouldve got thr bundle

[west hornet]

The kph30i is a lot bigger than I thought

[tacit wing]

put some grado pads

om the 30i

[west hornet]

Now which should I keep

1 is for me and the others I’m giving to family members, eventually I’ll sound test all of them tho lol

[daring zenith]

foam

[sly warren]

Ok, gotta ask why would you ever give your family members the clip-on headphones.

[west hornet]

Lol that’s a lot of foam

[sly warren]

Do you hate your family?

[west hornet]

[tacit wing]

it make soundstage go BRRRRRRR

[west hornet]

Only some of em

[sly warren]

Also, a short right shift is SUPER wonky.

[west hornet]

I heard zeos likes grado pads with the center of original foam cut out which is interesting

[tacit wing]

that mod just makes the highs go BRRRR

[cunning hearth]

Why?

[sly warren]

I'm used to a full width right shift.

[cunning hearth]

I hardly ever use my right shift

[sly warren]

And Up Arrow and End are on the right of the right shift

[tacit wing]

ugh why are there keyboards in the chat

[sly warren]

I use mine more than my left shift.

[west hornet]

Lol

[sly warren]

Because, this is PERIPHERALS chat

[cunning hearth]

U shouldve gotten tkl instead of 75% then

[sly warren]

...

This is TKL

TKL IS 75% ya numbskull

[cunning hearth]

Lmao

Not quite

[sharp kindle]

uhhhhh

no

lmao

no

[sly warren]

Uhhh, yes

[cunning hearth]

The arrow keys are mushed with the rest

[west hornet]

Hmm I could give my little brother the kph maybe if it fit him and then maybe my sisters the ksc75s?

[sharp kindle]

tkl is not 75%

their legit different formats

[sly warren]

They have the exact same number of keys.

[cunning hearth]

Its a completely different layout

[sly warren]

Therefore they are essentially the same.

[cunning hearth]

Although exact same keys

Its a different layout

[sly warren]

Also, these gat blues feel really nice...

I didn't know that gat blues felt this nice.

[sharp kindle]

that doesnt make them the same layout bro

ew

clickies

[sly warren]

I mean, it's basically tomato vs tamato

[cunning hearth]

NO

ITS NOT

[sly warren]

Yes it is.

[sharp kindle]

nah bro

[cunning hearth]

They r completely different

[sharp kindle]

it isnt

[sly warren]

No?

[cunning hearth]

Skip

Search it up

[sly warren]

The only difference is where the keys are placed.

[sharp kindle]

that makes it different bro

[cunning hearth]

That makes it a different layout

[sharp kindle]

lmao

[sly warren]

Does it?

[sharp kindle]

it does

[cunning hearth]

Notice we said “layout” not “number of keys”

[sly warren]

Because that's stupid

[sharp kindle]

how

[cunning hearth]

Layout is how the keys are positioned

[sly warren]

Layout == Number of Keys

In my brain

[sharp kindle]

layout different than number of keys

nope

[cunning hearth]

Its different

[sharp kindle]

v

[cunning hearth]

Some keebs like drop alt

Have more keys that other 65%

[sly warren]

Also, I'll be replacing the Gat Blues with Boba U4's soon

[sharp kindle]

different

[cunning hearth]

Does that make it a different layout? No

[sly warren]

Probably at the beginning of the year I'll buy the U4's.

[sharp kindle]

okey he understands now

[cunning hearth]

Mhm

[west hornet]

Wow the porta pros have some bass xD

[little crater]

thoughts on getting HD600 used for 150 vs HD650 used for 200?

basically, are the HD650 worth 50 dollars more? from what i can find, both are very similar

[tacit wing]

yes

[little crater]

oh, also there's a new set of HD6XX for 185

[tacit wing]

comparing to 6XX vs 600's the 00's are basically more neutral with less bass bloat

[normal barn]

.. wt

[tacit wing]

the 600's has a peak in the upper mids that some ppl find offensive (may be different for you) but the 6XX mids are just

[normal barn]

https://www.amazon.com/iFi-Hip-dac-Portable-Headphone-Balanced/dp/B0842W67F1

@tacit wing u use this

?

for ur phone dac?

[tacit wing]

no

[west hornet]

The pps look so cute aww

[little crater]

so what about the 650s? im mostly looking for something that is significantly different from my current DT 990s

well, whatever is the most different i guess

[west hornet]

The 650s and 6xx are exactly the same as far as I can tell

[tacit wing]

6xx is the warmest out of all of them

[normal barn]

im seriously debating whether to get het fifine t669 or k669 and replaceing my blackshark v2x with cb1 or shp9500

[tacit wing]

and the 990's are bright so if you want something foreign from bright youd want warm

[normal barn]

orl ike 4xx and 35x

[little crater]

so would the HD600 accomplish that? i would prefer to save the 35 dollars

[tacit wing]

600's are the most neutral out of all the three, still it will sound drastically different from the bright 990's

so yeah

150 for 600's is a huge steal

[normal barn]

dino helppppp

[normal barn]

woah

[west hornet]

I see some people say 600 is most accurate for price

Idk much about

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tacit wing]

given the prices of all 3 from the seller, the 600's have the best value

i mean its 150

[little crater]

dope

[tacit wing]

6 Series Senns in general make the mids the star of the show

[swift lantern]

6xx

Will be here like the 26th I bet

Phantoms will get here earlier I bet

[tacit wing]

@little crater

consider youself that you hit the jackpot finding 600's for 150

[swift lantern]

If one headphone is just an EQ'd version of another just get the cheapest one

[tacit wing]

[swift lantern]

Yeah $150 is a steal

Just like my phantoms

[normal barn]

[last plinth]

tell budget

Unless u want the one i linked

Should probaly ask in #electronics tho

[west hornet]

i buy brick fridge, no smart

[sly warren]

Smart fridges are dumb.

[tacit wing]

then why are they called smart?

if they were dumb theyd be called dumb fridges

[swift lantern]

Don't get a smart fridge smdh

Also wth you do for a living you could go out buy a fridge those things cost like a grand min

[tacit wing]

so youre saying...

i should just get me some HD800s

[normal barn]

YAS

@tacit wing and we can trade gifts

[tacit wing]

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

[normal barn]

LMAO i

but hat kuzu said was correct

@tacit wing wtf do u do for a living

i mean my mom made me pcik a smart fridge sice my uncle and grandparents got a new house and its stuppose ot be a gift for them

[timber ridge]

@tacit wing if i remembered correctly, lg has some really cool fridges

[tacit wing]

their fridge is leaking rn

[timber ridge]

but the prices are not so epic

[tacit wing]

why tf does it matter?

yall ever do anything substantial for ur loved ones during the holiday season?

[normal barn]

i do

just not a freaking 1k fridge

[timber ridge]

whts ur budget for the fridge

[normal barn]

1k man

[timber ridge]

bc they can vary

o

[normal barn]

he wats a smart fridge

and when we told him

[tacit wing]

i wipe my ass with 1k

[normal barn]

why

he said

ok

man

then imma just get me som hd800s

[timber ridge]

you can get a good one, but im not sure if you can get a smart fridge for the that price

[normal barn]

so 1k+ budget

[normal barn]

🤣

[timber ridge]

atleast not from like the big main companies

[tacit wing]

yeah u right i should just get some hd800's

[timber ridge]

like samsung lg etc

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

does your parents have like the old white bricks rn

or a nicer stainless steel one

[tacit wing]

white brick

and the freezer side is leaking

[timber ridge]

theyll prob be happy with a stainless steel one, dont think you need a smart one

[normal barn]

ikr

[tacit wing]

yeah i think a normie fridge plus like an alexa or something

i wanna implement some smart home-iness

[timber ridge]

thatll b p epic

a smart fridge and an air fryer

• alexa

and maybe they can all sync up

[normal barn]

sure

lmao

i have a air fryer

i make fries with it

lol

thats all i use it for

[tacit wing]

cholax moment

[timber ridge]

you aiming for a single or side by side?

[tacit wing]

ok the reason why i was think fridge is bc they just bought a new washer and a new stove for themselves

thinking a new fridge would like complete the puzzle since its leaking

[timber ridge]

you sure theyre not gonna cash out and cop a new fridge 4 themselves for christmas

[tacit wing]

o i have no idea lol

[timber ridge]

they kinda have the perfect reason to and they been upgrading already

[normal barn]

ikr

[normal barn]

stop being cholaxist

[timber ridge]

depending on how much they cashed out on the other appliances, the move might be jus splitting the bill for the fridge

[tacit wing]

yeah and i wouldnt be surprised if theyre looking at fridges rn

i think like an Alexa would suffice

[timber ridge]

yea jus get the fancier one with the touch screen or some

[normal barn]

@tacit wing uhh

i mean

you could get them

alexa with u know

security cams and stuff

andthen treat urself

with some hifiman anadas

lol

[timber ridge]

alexa and robo vacuum

ezpz

[normal barn]

IKR

i have a robo vacumm

makes my life eaiser

no more sweeping the flors

or cleaning the carpet

oh shii

they look good

[west hornet]

@tacit wing it could be the sound signature of the magni or something but honestly i think i like the porta pros on apple dong more than schiit stack lol

[normal barn]

lmao

[west hornet]

i did notice the magni to be a bit warmer and the porta already have quite a bit of bass so that could be part of it

[normal barn]

oh lol

[tacit wing]

i dont mind the sigs of my dongles but the resolution just isnt there compared to basically any dedicated desktop stack

tidal hifi sounds like 96 kbps mp3 on my dongles

[sly warren]

Man, I enjoy my new keyboard.

Can't wait to buy the Boba U4s to make it even better.

[west hornet]

the dong sounds more clear to me, i must do some investigates, tho i only listened to 2 or 3 tracks on the schiit and both were hans zimmer

[sly warren]

Gat Blues do feel good though.

[tight pulsar]

bobas are nice

[tacit wing]

its the sample rate and bit depth that sets them apart and its pretty noticeable

theyre still enjoyable tho is goated

[sly warren]

I think for my Birthday next year I'm gonna ask for a Schiit Stack.

[neon quartz]

Skiptrace#4386 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tacit wing]

chtack

[west hornet]

hmm taking longer listen this is complicated

this thumbnail lol https://i.imgur.com/uDjWcIQ.png

[tacit wing]

cursedcaststage

[fluid dove]

so i got an anne pro 2 andthe "d" key is sqeaky and slightly harder to press down thatn the other switches How should I fix this

its only really noticable wen you press down lightlly

if you are just typing normally then you cant notice the difference

[sly warren]

Eh, switch tolerances for manufacturing?

[fluid dove]

?

[left tartan]

Any good f96 mech key recommendation? I am narrowing Dow to Kira (sold out), tab90m, iqunix.

[sly warren]

What I mean Lawnmower is that the manufacturing tolerances on switches are probably loose enough to make that much of a difference.

[queen sigil]

If you' leopold fc950

[sly warren]

I doubt you could make it less squeaky without desoldering and lubing the switch

[fluid dove]

hmm

ok

can i just try and slip some lube into the side of the stem lol?

[queen sigil]

gross

[sly warren]

Nope

[compact helm]

Guys is this a good budget keyboard?

[queen sigil]

Sounds like a spring issue

[sly warren]

No

Anything by Rosewill is basically dumpster garbage

[compact helm]

Oh

Why?!

[sly warren]

It just is.

[compact helm]

lol

[sly warren]

If you want a cheap decent mech to start with, your primary option is the Magicforce 68, or the Redragon K552

[compact helm]

100%?

[west hornet]

@tacit wing my sister came into my room when i was using porta pros, she said "eww what is that... don't talk to me"

[sly warren]

Full-size is, barely existent as is

Do you use the numberpad?

If you do, just buy a separate one

[compact helm]

Yeb i need it

[sly warren]

What for?

The majority of people are starting to realize "damn, I don't use the numberpad that often"

[compact helm]

I used to have it

[sly warren]

?

Are you just so used to having it that you "need" it?

[compact helm]

Every number i press is from the number pad

[sly warren]

Wtf? Why though?

[compact helm]

I don't know it's easier

[sly warren]

Trust me, TKL is the way to go.

[left tartan]

That's pretty good. But I want a aluminum frame. Otherwise I'd get a topre board.

[sly warren]

Once you use a TKL or 75% for long enough. You'll realize the extra mouse space you gain is vastly better than a numberpad.

[queen sigil]

idk

yMDK96

ive seen that

[sly warren]

If you absolutely need one for excell sheets or something, buy a separate numberpad.

That way you can move it out of the way when you don't need it.

[compact helm]

Mmm maybe i have to try it cuz i never did

[left tartan]

How easy to type numbers without number pads? I do a lot of number entering...Can't imagine without one

[sly warren]

If you do a lot, then sure the numberpad is the way to go.

[queen sigil]

just buy a seperate one

[sly warren]

I use it a lot at work

But at home, Im so used to TKL/75%

[compact helm]

How much will it cost?

[queen sigil]

what?

idk

[sly warren]

Like, 10 to 30 freedom dollars.

[queen sigil]

depends what number pad

[sly warren]

Some boutique numpads can go for like, 80 to 100

[queen sigil]

like 20$ for a non-mechanical but it can be alot of a custom one

[tacit wing]

good thing its just your sister and not ur girlfriend

if u have one

[sly warren]

Ooh, I really hope my Fiancee will like Boba U4's.

[tacit wing]

[sly warren]

If so, I'll probably get her a KC84 also

Because KC84 is the goat board.

[west hornet]

ofc i dont have gf xD

[timber ridge]

i had a kc84 but ran into issues

but idk if its a common issue or something speciific to my keeb

[tacit wing]

now that we have Porta Pros, we are doomed to never have one

[timber ridge]

why so

[tacit wing]

lance if you get PP, one of your girlfriends will leave u

[west hornet]

ye i make sure i always wear them outside so i scare everyone away

[timber ridge]

i dont think ill ever get a pair

knowing how much i like iems, i would easily pick up another pair of iems over PP

[west hornet]

i going to get yaxi pads eventually, have to wait for my sister to get paid so i can take her credit card to try on amazon again

i might take around these pps a bit now, my iems are slightly more painful wearing a mask

[tacit wing]

ok all jokes aside PP's arent even that ugly

they look retro af

i can see all the hipsters drooling all over this thing

[west hornet]

i thought they look ok, but apparently my sister thinks otherwise xD

[timber ridge]

bruh

i brought up a pair of PP and asked my gf what do you think of these

first thing she said was "ewww"

then laughed

[tacit wing]

[timber ridge]

"if you like them do you but i think its ugly"

[west hornet]

it's not about the outside looks

[tacit wing]

ok if you dress like one of those people who are stuck in the 90s or 80s, Porta Pros can compliment a fit

[timber ridge]

fair enough

something about them just scream pacer test and idk why

[tacit wing]

[tight pulsar]

@timber ridge darn she didnt like ur pp

[tacit wing]

she was like

sorry lance damn that was messed up

[timber ridge]

😎

imagine if a mod doesnt know what PP are

chat logs wont look so epic

[tight pulsar]

they probably dont care

[timber ridge]

maybe

[tacit wing]

i got banned the last time i said something about PP

[queen sigil]

👀

[sly warren]

Lance what was your issue with your KC84?

Was it connector related?

Like, did the cable it came with not work?

[timber ridge]

im not sure, I would press 1 key and it would register like 10 times

but it was random

[sly warren]

Huh, weird.

[timber ridge]

ye

[west hornet]

i really like the little carrying pouch that come with pps

[sly warren]

Mine just doesnt work with the cable it came with

[timber ridge]

otherwise that, its super nice

[sly warren]

And, it's confirmed to be the cable itself.

I tried to charge my phone with the cable and it was spotty at best

[timber ridge]

rip, i didnt bother messing with cables

[sly warren]

Oh is yours a BT model?

Mines Wired Only

[timber ridge]

nah, wired

i sent mine back tho

[sly warren]

Ah.

[timber ridge]

i got a durgod hades now

[sly warren]

Come again?

[timber ridge]

I got a durgod hades to replace it

[sly warren]

Ah

I was confused because I thought you mistyped.

[timber ridge]

oh gg

i kinda miss the kc84

but this is jus my temp keyboard until i get my stuff next year

[sly warren]

What's next year?

[timber ridge]

i have 2 keyboards kit coming next year

i should be building around end of q1

[sly warren]

Nice

[tacit wing]

[sly warren]

What kits?

[timber ridge]

gmmk pro and kbd67 lite

i wanna get another kit kinda, but i gotta do my audio upgrade

[last plinth]

anything else like kbd67 lite or nk65 coming out

[timber ridge]

portico kit

oh and rama has a kit rn but its a bit pricey, bauer lite is dropping but i doubt itll be in the same price range

[sly warren]

The GMMK Pro isn't a kit...

The KBD67 Lite is a kit though.

[last plinth]

it is?

[timber ridge]

what is the gmmk pro to you ?

[last plinth]

[sly warren]

It's a preassembled board that you need to put switches in.

[last plinth]

thats still a kit

[sly warren]

No it isn't.

[last plinth]

Pepega Clap

[timber ridge]

isnt that what all hotswap kits are

[sly warren]

A kit you have to assemble yourself.

[last plinth]

bruh

ur baiting

[sly warren]

The GMMK is effectively a preassembled board with 1 step to use.

[last plinth]

so is nk65

[sly warren]

A kit that does not make.

[last plinth]

And basically every other kit

[timber ridge]

so youre saying all hotswap boards are not kits?

[sly warren]

No, a kit gives you the parts and you have to assemble it all yourself and solder it together and shiz.

[last plinth]

yea the only reason they dont come all in one is if its solder

not hotswap

hotswap come together

Solder no together

make sense?

[sly warren]

No

[last plinth]

its still a kit

[sly warren]

Why would you call a Hotswap that has everything put in the case a kit?

[timber ridge]

ima still have to take it apart to foam it and if the stabs arent good stock

[normal barn]

Disgrace tell ur parents to disown her

[last plinth]

omg ur actually

baiting

[sly warren]

No

[last plinth]

pls stop

[sly warren]

I'm not "baiting"

Whatever TF that means

[last plinth]

hotswap u dont need the pcb seperate

[sly warren]

Yeah, then it isn't a kit you assemble.

[last plinth]

its consumer friendly and ez

[sly warren]

A kit implies assembly.

[last plinth]

u still have to add switches and keycaps

[timber ridge]

what you mean by pcb separate ?

[last plinth]

assemble

[sly warren]

That's not assembly though.

[normal barn]

Ok... Luckily I haven't got one

[sly warren]

That's just using a feature of a Hotswap.

[last plinth]

pcbs in non hotswap kits dont come together

they have to solder the pcb

[timber ridge]

and most of the times you have to disassemble hotswaps keebs to fix stabs n foam

[normal barn]

Sad

[last plinth]

Yep

[timber ridge]

unless you only considering kits to be keebs where you have to solder

then thats different

[normal barn]

Don't ever get a pp then

[last plinth]

yes

[sly warren]

Eh, I've never had to deal with "bad stabs"

[normal barn]

Ikr

[last plinth]

still a kit either way

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[timber ridge]

lucky

[last plinth]

lance any ideas when portico drops

[timber ridge]

no idea

i was expecting it to drop around the kb67 lite kit but it didnt

[last plinth]

cant believe i missed the kbd67 lite

[timber ridge]

kbd did an unlimited pre order thing so they sold keebs that arent even made yet, portico might be dif idk

and i was expecting it to stay longer, didnt think they would stop selling after the bfcm thing

[tight pulsar]

should i buy a viper mini off taobao for like $30

Agonizing waiting

[west hornet]

So now I own I think, hd6xx, tin t2, porta pro, kph30i, ksc75, beats studio 2, cat ear headphones, AirPods, apple earbuds, and a weird pair of scary looking headphones in my house. I not too much into headphones but starting collection it seems. The good the bad and the weird

[tacit wing]

yes

[brisk parcel]

indeed

[swift lantern]

sell the beats

sell the apple products

[queen sigil]

cat ear headphoens/?!?!?!?!?!?!

[west hornet]

the airpods my sister use, apple earbuds not worth much anyway. beats i could but not worth much, damaged lol

[tacit wing]

i wish i couldve forked alittle bit more to get 6xx instead of 58x because it seems like alot more headphone for a little bit more. but sometimes you have to pay to learn your lessons

[west hornet]

yes leo cat ear

learn as you go

[tacit wing]

yeah i mean i feel like thats a part of the hobby

[west hornet]

you learn from mistakes not successes - said someone

[swift lantern]

hey dino

If I like the phantoms more...

[tacit wing]

that said, i wanna sell my 58x's to get 6xx but i feel like 58x's arent really in demand rn

[west hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

there are a few markets you can try. sometimes people just like to buy headphone to try

[swift lantern]

if I like the phantoms more I'll trade you minus shipping maybe

🤫

[tacit wing]

kuzu u live in CA right?

[swift lantern]

yah

[tacit wing]

wait i dont wanna get banned again

[tight pulsar]

🤔

[west hornet]

oh boy some shading selling here

[tacit wing]

kuzu you wouldn't want my 58x's

its an overall downgrade imo

but ill uhh yknow, if you dont like them 👀

[tight pulsar]

brooo i love taobao

[swift lantern]

well I mean idk they could make a good gift for someone maybe, idk

[west hornet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tight pulsar]

hey no u already have 6xx

[swift lantern]

or.. hmm

[west hornet]

[queen sigil]

taobao scary

[timber ridge]

bruh

i think ive been misreading my balance

and was off by $1000

[tight pulsar]

lmao

[normal barn]

Lmao wat

[normal barn]

Gift to me lanot

Lmao*

[swift lantern]

no

[timber ridge]

today's chat about dino getting his parents a fridge jus reminded me i needed to get my parents something

jus put in the order for the gift lol

[swift lantern]

I got them a toaster oven and a granite pan

lol

[timber ridge]

i jus put in an order for a vacuum lol

it was either that or a nice airfryer

[normal barn]

Idk what I'm gonna get tbh

I wanna get them something

[sly warren]

Sadly I think the USB-C connector on my KC84 is a bit janky

I bought a cable from my work that works with my Phone and will transfer data and charge my phone, but it won't 100% of the time work with my keyboard, it just intermittently cuts in and out.

I'll probably get the Keycool version of the board next. This is a Yunzii version of the board, and I think it might just be made a little worse.

[last plinth]

what should i give my parents

what can i even do lol

[sly warren]

Give you parents a pair of Model M keyboards with buckling springs

[queen sigil]

how to get disowned

[sly warren]

I would disown my parents if they didn't like Model M's.

[queen sigil]

e

eh

model ms are over rated

[sly warren]

The Model M is not overrated.

You are overrated.

[queen sigil]

theyre just louad clicky membranes

[sly warren]

If I could have an RGB Buckling Spring keyboard in a 75% or TKL Layout, I'd never need another board.

[haughty wren]

Hey everyone I was told this is the place to go for keyboard talk.

[sly warren]

Also, not all Model M's are membrane boards.

[queen sigil]

buckling spring switches

[sly warren]

Good model M's are Buckling Springs

[queen sigil]

are membrane

[sly warren]

No, Membrane is rubber dome.

[haughty wren]

What’s the best gaming keyboard for under $120

[sly warren]

Uhh

[haughty wren]

Sorry if I’m interrupting

[sly warren]

"Gaming" keyboard is different for everyone.

[granite elbow]

anyone wanna help me find keycaps similar to this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BKSK6GY/ref=twister_B081575MZ6?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 in 61 keys same setup diff colors are fine but darker pls

@haughty wren mz60 or durgod venus

gateron yellows for both

[sly warren]

I wouldn't drop below a 75% for most gaming boards.

[granite elbow]

oh

idk

[sly warren]

Because, some games need the F Keys

[granite elbow]

ig

[haughty wren]

Yes I was thinking full preferably

[sly warren]

Fullsize is a no-go

Fullsize is just not good.

[queen sigil]

leopold fc980m

[haughty wren]

No?

87 keys is that 75%

[sly warren]

Do you legitimately use the numberpad while playing games?

[haughty wren]

No lol

[queen sigil]

its nice to have a numpad

[sly warren]

Then Fullsize is pointless for you.

[haughty wren]

Yea ig

[queen sigil]

also "more mouseroom" isnt really a good arguement

[sly warren]

It's 100% a good argument.

[queen sigil]

you could always just move the keyboard to the left

[haughty wren]

I’m not in a tight area

[sly warren]

Not always.

I can't just move the keyboard to the left.

[queen sigil]

just get a leopold fc980m

[sly warren]

I'd run out of desk.

Eh

I wouldn't get that

Cherry switches be blegh

Scratchy blegh.

[queen sigil]

lol what

leopolds are like the best prebuilt option

[sly warren]

KC84

Done.

[haughty wren]

I don’t want any mechanical switches that are overly obnoxiously loud

[queen sigil]

Get a leopold fc 980m

[sly warren]

Welp, there we go. KC84 with Boba U4's

[queen sigil]

highest quality keyboard

[timber ridge]

you could try eppomaker's version

[sly warren]

Done

IDK who even sells the Epomaker version

The Keycool version has 2.4ghz wireless

[timber ridge]

amazon has it

[queen sigil]

keycool quality doesnt seem the best

[sly warren]

I mean, the board feels great, it just has that 1 minor quirk.

And I don't know what to blame.

[queen sigil]

just seems like another chineese keyboard copy

[daring zenith]

Supposed to be Christmas gift btw, can't be preorders and all.

[timber ridge]

atleast theyre copying the right boards lol

they have solid stabs n build quality but qc is eh

[granite elbow]

anyone wanna help me find keycaps

[timber ridge]

for

and what theme

[granite elbow]

60% wit gateron yellows

black/grey with colored control keys

[queen sigil]

you asked this earlier

havent you asked this like multiple times

[timber ridge]

was i there to answer it

[granite elbow]

i wanna see multiple

i dont think so

[sly warren]

I doubt multiple options exist.

[granite elbow]

also i lost the ones i saw earlier

[queen sigil]

NK WOB

[sly warren]

🤦

[granite elbow]

with uhhh letters on top

[queen sigil]

novelkeys white on black

[granite elbow]

45$ max

[sly warren]

45 dollars?!?

[timber ridge]

yikes

[daring zenith]

@haughty wren So, do you know what switches they want?

[granite elbow]

is that low?

[timber ridge]

like hard cap at 45?

[sly warren]

45 dollars is like chump change for keycaps

[granite elbow]

my mom ssaid 45$ max

[timber ridge]

and yea its low, i spent like 120 on caps

[granite elbow]

wait 50$ max

[queen sigil]

just find any OEM profile keycaps you like

thats PBT doubleshot

[timber ridge]

if 50 is max go with hk gaming

on amazon, itll ship quick too

[granite elbow]

i saw sum

but they come in 108 keycaps

[sly warren]

And?

[granite elbow]

and i dont wanna pay for keycaps im not gonna use

[haughty wren]

Wdym

[sly warren]

Trust me, you will eventually find a use for them.

[daring zenith]

Do they want tactile or linear? I'm gonna automatically assume clicky is out of the way

[timber ridge]

i mean i would rather pay for a set and get more than what i want

then get less

[granite elbow]

my mom is the type of person to make me 5 years to get new stuff

[haughty wren]

Yes I would like a click but not loud and obnoxious

[queen sigil]

@haughty wren get a leopold fc980m with cherry mx silent reds

[daring zenith]

oh

[queen sigil]

oh

[daring zenith]

I think they want dem gat browns >:D

[queen sigil]

no

[daring zenith]

aw

cherry browns

fite me

[timber ridge]

are you sure you want a click or do you want a bump instead

[haughty wren]

I think just resistance

[queen sigil]

durr

[sly warren]

Then get Gat Blacks.

[queen sigil]

lol get a leopold

[timber ridge]

uhh lemme reword, do you want to know when you actuate the key or do you want a linear where theres no physical or audible actuation point

[haughty wren]

Pretty expensive tho

[queen sigil]

i mean

u said 120$ budget

and it's the nicest keyboard for that price

[sly warren]

KC84 from either Yunzii or Epomaker

Significantly cheaper

But isn't a terrible board.

[haughty wren]

I can’t find any under 180 for leopold

[sly warren]

Do watch out for some odd QC quirks though.

[daring zenith]

Aren't blacks linear..?

[timber ridge]

hes prob looking at topre

and blacks are linear

[sly warren]

Yes, but he just said he wanted "resistance"

[queen sigil]

lol KC doesnt scream high quality

[sly warren]

I don't think he entirely knows what he wants.

[daring zenith]

I mean, there's having a heavy spring, and then there's a bump when you press down

[sly warren]

I mean, it isn't meant to be high quality.

If I could afford one, I'd have a KBD75 with Boba U4's

[timber ridge]

if you want a high quality keeb with gat blacks, cop the durgod hades

[sly warren]

But, it costs a wholeass kidney to buy a KBD75

[queen sigil]

I mean leopold quality is probs the best

for the price

[daring zenith]

I'm still gonna simp for keychron

good keeb

[sly warren]

Bruh

[haughty wren]

This is true I’ve only had 2 keyboards before

[sly warren]

The KC84 is just a cheaper K4

I think it's the K4...

[timber ridge]

k4 is tkl i think

im not sure

[sly warren]

K2

It's the K2

[queen sigil]

price isnt always everything

[timber ridge]

o yea the k4 is the 84 key

[sly warren]

The KC84 is a cheaper K2 Hotswap

10 dollars cheaper for basically the same board.

Oh, and you can get it in White as opposed to only black.

[daring zenith]

k2 hotswap is 80$ with kc84 at 95$ on my end..?

or am I looking at the wrong places

[queen sigil]

except K2 comes with really nice keycaps and prelubed and clipped stabs

[sly warren]

Amazon got me a KC84 for 89.00

[timber ridge]

if hotswap isnt a factor which it doesnt seem like it, i would go with the durgod hades for build quality and switch options

[sly warren]

The KC84 I have has pretty nice caps.

[timber ridge]

you get a full alu case and pbt keycaps

[sly warren]

The legends are a bit eh.

[daring zenith]

keychron stock keycaps are great

[sly warren]

Maybe I just need to buy a K2...

[sly warren]

sigh

[granite elbow]

thoughts?

[sly warren]

I just don't like Bluetooth for Keyboards.

[daring zenith]

@sly warren are they pre-lubed and clipped tho?

[sly warren]

I'd rather 2.4ghz Wireless or no wireless.

I don't even know what clipped means.

[daring zenith]

stabs

[granite elbow]

https://www.amazon.com/keycaps-high-end-Printing-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B089KSDB5Y/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=61+oem+profile+pbt+doubleshot+grey&qid=1608008362&sr=8-12 these or https://www.amazon.com/BAOD-Doubleshot-Translucent-Mechanical-Purple-Gray/dp/B08HVPKPN2/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=61%2Boem%2Bprofile%2Bpbt%2Bdoubleshot%2Bgrey&qid=1608008330&sr=8-9&th=1

[sly warren]

Sounds like you are just breaking your stabs for no reason

[daring zenith]

but I mean, you can use the keychron keebs wired no problem

[queen sigil]

@granite elbow yeah dont send it twice

[daring zenith]

I like my K8 wired

[granite elbow]

@queen sigil no one responded ;-;

[sly warren]

Yeah, but if I get a feature, I want to use it.

[queen sigil]

@granite elbow first one isnt translucent

second one is

if that matters

[daring zenith]

actually

[sly warren]

I'd rather them sell Wired Only variants at like, 10 bucks cheaper

[timber ridge]

if the keychron wasnt so thick, it would be the perfect keeb imo

[queen sigil]

Yeah

[daring zenith]

I think I'll figure out how bluetooth on my keeb works and see how the latency is

[granite elbow]

@queen sigil actually imo the 2nd one's colors look better too

[timber ridge]

keychron should jus drop a wired thinner version

it would actually be best keeb

[sly warren]

If the Latency isn't bad (If you have a way of testing it) then I might buy a K2 Hotswap to drop my Boba U4's in instead of this KC84

If it's bad, I'll just get a Keycool KC84 for the 2.4ghz wireless

[daring zenith]

I don't have any way to accurately test it, I might do some very rough testing with video

[timber ridge]

kc84 has way better keycap options

[queen sigil]

for 120$

[daring zenith]

but if you remind me sometime tomorrow, I'll definitely test it, I think Keybored has a keychron keeb too, maybe they can test it too

[queen sigil]

if you need a numpad

[sly warren]

And it has a White option for the casing.

[daring zenith]

well, I like the stock keycaps >:P

[queen sigil]

get a leopold fc980m

[timber ridge]

i mean my kc84 was like 80

or so

[queen sigil]

its basically quality wise the best option

[daring zenith]

@queen sigil from where?

I only see pre-orders for leopold fc980m

and it's supposed to be a Christmas gift iirc :P

[timber ridge]

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=365

[queen sigil]

i was talkin to smol

guess they aint here tho

[daring zenith]

yes

[sly warren]

Keybored, is it accurate that you have a Keychron?

And are able to use the BT wireless?

[timber ridge]

v2 keychrons come with 5.1 bt

[daring zenith]

I yanked him out of my DMs because I'm bad at keebs and threw him at you guys @queen sigil

[queen sigil]

eh

[sly warren]

Yeah, but BT5.1 is still going to be prone to latency.

I just want to know how much latency it might be.

[queen sigil]

i mean

[sly warren]

Because, it'd be really cool to use Wireless

[queen sigil]

yeah idk about 100%s

[sly warren]

But, if it's laggy, I'll get a 2.4ghz KC84

[queen sigil]

i know keychron has a 96%

[sly warren]

My next mouse is already going to be a Model O Wireless.

[daring zenith]

skiptrace, if you @ me tomorrow morning, I can test bt on mine and just use slow motion w BT/wired

[sly warren]

Ye

[daring zenith]

@sly warren I have a back order down for the MOW lol

[timber ridge]

how long is backorder

[daring zenith]

no idea

[timber ridge]

oof

[daring zenith]

when I placed it, it was "estimated late nov early dec"

[timber ridge]

im waiting to see what razer has too offer b4 i put in my order for the mow

[daring zenith]

now it says q1 2021

[sly warren]

Razer has... The Viper Ultimate.

That's it.

[timber ridge]

yea, but its about that time where new mice should be coming

and razer hasnt dropped a new mouse yet

[sly warren]

Your current options for Wireless Ultralight Ambi mice right now are, GPWUL, MOW, or the Viper Ulti

[timber ridge]

they have to do something to compete with the superlight and the rest of the competition

[sly warren]

Not really?

[daring zenith]

as in, they should do something

not they're forced to

[sly warren]

The Viper Ulti is 74G

[timber ridge]

yea not forced, but i doubt they wont drop a new competitor

[daring zenith]

I mean, UL isn't REALLY an improvement over gpw if you look at it that way

it's just companies throwing small improvements around

(other than actually good switches for UL this time around afaik)

[timber ridge]

i jus wanna see what the market has to offer then make my choice

[sly warren]

The GPWUL is 63G, and somehow has 70hr of batt

Realistically, that's what the market has to offer right now.

[queen sigil]

@haughty wren If it's a gift it might be a bit strange for the person you're buying it for but the keychron k4 is a decent option

[daring zenith]

keyboard k4

[queen sigil]

shutup

[timber ridge]

yea ik, but im gonna be waiting a while b4 i buy something

[daring zenith]

that's if they need numpad

[timber ridge]

iquinx has some nice keebs but they use weird stabs

and its pricey

very pricey for a prebuilt

https://iqunix.store/products/f96-coral-sea-wireless-mechanical-keyboard

[daring zenith]

@haughty wren and anyways on the switches :
If you want a bump : Gateron browns
If you want an obnoxious noise : Any blue switches
If you want no bump, and linear in terms of force required to push it down, Gat red/black/etc

[dawn karma]

Any good gaming mechanical keyboard/mice out there $30 or under?

[queen sigil]

i think the viper mini is like 30$

i wouldnt recommend any keyboards at 30$

also im not a moise person so ask someone else

[timber ridge]

i dont think theres anything else besides the viper mini at that price point

but if you dont use ftip grip then gg

[dawn karma]

What is ftip grip

[timber ridge]

fingertip grip

[swift lantern]

bingus

[tacit wing]

getting dekoni tips is tempting...

[timber ridge]

foam tips are v tempting, i have yet to pull the trigger on it tho

[tacit wing]

how does it change sound compared to silicone?

better seal i assume?

[timber ridge]

yea jus the seal i would assume

but a good seal can make a huge difference

[swift lantern]

wait you don't have dekoni tips

your name is dino dekoni tip man and you don't have foam tips

BRUH

[timber ridge]

he got his name a different way

a way we dont speak of

[tacit wing]

@swift lantern its uhhh.. long story

[swift lantern]

foam tips are a game changer, get them

idk about dekoni, I use newbee

it gives a much better seal for starters that gives you better bass, but also personally find them much more comfortable

[timber ridge]

dont tin t2s come stock with foam tips ?

[swift lantern]

indeed they do

although they kinda suck compared to other ones

[timber ridge]

can you link me some good foam tip options

im only aware of dekoni rn tbh

idk if the cheap amazon ones will do or if i should get a nicer set

[tacit wing]

i HAVE to get Dekoni Bulletz after the lil incident i had

[timber ridge]

looking for foam tips makes me wanna pick up another pair of iems

[tacit wing]

GOD I NEED TO SHAKE OFF THIS ITCH

[compact helm]

Is this a good keyboard?

And the price is it higher than before?

[calm cobalt]

Corsair make good keyboards

but i'm not sure about that price and currency

[compact helm]

110 $ with tax
96$ without

[wicked topaz]

i like steelseries keyboards

[compact helm]

From?

From the pics naah

[calm cobalt]

seems... adequate

i believe you can get one for a lil lower though

[daring zenith]

@calm cobalt dunno about the corsair makes good keyboards part...

[calm cobalt]

well i personally don't think they're bad for strictly gaming 😄
