Or use the wholesass case as an antenna

tight pulsar
#

do you judge a case just out of its material

timber ridge
#

p interesting

sly warren
#

Why does there need to be a "bluetooth window"

#

Just use the whole aluminum case as an antenna for BT

#

GG

timber ridge
#

timber ridge

I want a monitor that can be value when I upgrade my GPU in the future.

vernal plinth
#

Hmm

#

That is hard

#

It probably depends on the panel more than the specs on that one

royal sandal
#

165hz 1440p

#

a 1080p monitor is a bottleneck nowadays

daring zenith
#

@boreal heath if you're getting a new GPU, easily a Gigabyte M27q imo (1440p170hz at 310$)

#

oasdjfioasdjf

timber ridge
#

tragic

swift lantern
#

omg why won't it give me the code what is this

#

I have literally 48 hours to send it

#

I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS

timber ridge
#

f

#

thats why i like amazon bc returning stuff is so ez

swift lantern
#

ok it finally gave it to me, jeez

timber ridge
#

kuzu the last thing you got that you liked out of the box were phantoms right

swift lantern
#

ye

#

other than the vocal spike which was only noticeable on some tracks

#

technically speaking that wasn't out the box either since it already had mods

timber ridge
#

hopefully you like fh3s out of the box

swift lantern
#

hopefully

#

oh actually I have 14 days to get it to warehous

#

it was just 48 hours to claim the return label

#

aliexpress is WEIRD compared to amazon

#

hopefully this return works as well or else I'm kinda screwed

#

and I STILL got them tapes, gotta sell

timber ridge
#

bruh

#

i cant imagine if you got starfields

#

youd be more disappointed than you were with tapes

swift lantern
#

I can't imagine they'd be veiled

#

like I'd actually be stunned if they got that characterstic into an iem

timber ridge
#

welp tomorrow i get my hip dac

swift lantern
#

pog

timber ridge
#

my portable setup is gonna be hip dac, blon 03s and k371

swift lantern
#

pog

#

although 03s with hip dac feels funky

#

using a thx 789 for my CALs 🄓

timber ridge
#

03s are fun

swift lantern
#

why aren't you using the oh10s thoug

timber ridge
#

#

#

with their weight

#

itd be gg

swift lantern
#

uh oh

timber ridge
#

swift lantern
#

hmm, idk if they'll get me for it but I can't find the foam thingy they came in

royal sandal
#

timber ridge
#

royal sandal
#

swift lantern
#

hmmm

timber ridge
#

sara you remind me of this character

#

but instead of grinding the game all day you grind xp in this server

swift lantern
#

oh nvm I'm stupid had the box wrong way around

#

can't find the velcro though

#

if they get me on that I will cause a SCENE

timber ridge
#

gl

#

lowkey wanted to get the xduoo basic tbh

#

but shipping was not epic and i needed something asap b4 i leave

swift lantern
#

a chonker but very good price:perf

timber ridge
#

yea not idea for portable use

swift lantern
#

also TIL you can just wash foam tips

timber ridge
#

but it has a screen right

stoic solar
#

joe pera talks with you is the best show ever made

swift lantern
#

idk about ever but..

#

very good asmr

stoic solar
#

ever

timber ridge
#

idk it

swift lantern
#

it has a screen but just for dac stuff

#

like e30

timber ridge
#

wish the hip dac had usb c to usb connection

#

but no it has a whole usb port

swift lantern
#

wait...

#

u sure?

timber ridge
#

usb c is only for charging

swift lantern
#

tri i3 foam tips good foam tips

#

ngl

timber ridge
#

i forgot, fh3 comes with a lot of goodies

swift lantern
#

adapters?

timber ridge
#

a nice case and a bunch of tips

swift lantern
#

nice

#

i got thems and more foam tips, cuz

timber ridge
#

idk if you wanna spoil ur unboxing experience

#

but youll see when you get it tomorrow

swift lantern
#

if it does get here tomorrow, idk if

#

hopefully it does

timber ridge
#

if its a day late, its still faster than ur last few orders lol

swift lantern
#

indeed

#

item 99% intact, label printed, now to drop it off and hope for the best

timber ridge
#

a lotta ppl complain about the cable being too stiff

#

but its not a bad cable

swift lantern
#

I mean, I technically have a replacement cable lying around

#

the one I used for t2

#

if I hate the stock cable that much I'll use that one

timber ridge
#

i hope i dont regret taking a gamble and buying the 2 review iem cable

swift lantern
#

I need to find better foam tips ngl

timber ridge
#

dekoni

swift lantern
#

will they disintegrate immediately

timber ridge
#

not sure but they have a good track record

swift lantern
#

both them and comply are definitely overpriced for what is still just.. foam

#

ok lookin at the video I don't see how they wouldn't disintegrate lmao

#

might end up having to go back to silicone just for durability sadgeThink

timber ridge
#

isnt there some hybrids

swift lantern
#

there are

#

looking at them, they just look like silicone though

timber ridge
#

fh3s will give you a bunch of stock tips to try

#

wouldnt buy any until youve tried em

swift lantern
#

going back to t2 though is interesting

#

until tomorrow I suppose...

#

dang... compared to i3 the t2 have absolutely nothing in low-end slam lmao

#

fh3 better deliver Lance I STG gungun

timber ridge
#

i think i peaked with bassy iems

#

unless i spend more money, but 200 is my max for iems

swift lantern
#

...unless? flushedb

#

why are all the ear tips so expensive

#

ok that might be one thing worth getting off of ali cuz I know they stupid cheap on there

#

yeah see

timber ridge
#

only other option would be i3s i think

#

unless there is some hidden gem that ive never heard of

swift lantern
#

I'm sayin you could just EQ like tin t4 or anything really

#

hmm, compared to tri i3

#

it feels like the mid frequencies ... make more sense on t2, but the bass rumble is NOTHING compared to i3

#

but the highs are also not very often offensive on t2, where that could be an issue on i3 occasionally...

#

the t2 is definitely better tuned but I feel the i3 is definitely "capable"

timber ridge
#

what made you return them then

swift lantern
#

the shouty treble bits at times, it's actually pretty bad with no EQing

timber ridge
#

oof

swift lantern
#

the problem with things people call "v-shape" is that they're usually radical shaped

#

timber ridge
#

maybe to your ears

wanton burrow
#

"How's the tactility of the watermelon milkshake switch?"

#

"it has similar tactility as cherry browns"

#

wanton burrow
#

keychron

wanton burrow

#

and how much would u pay for one?

#

nice

#

he gone

royal sandal
#

hate it when people do that SMH

tight pulsar
#

hes still here not everybody replies 30 seconds after you said something

wanton burrow
#

he gone more than 2 mins tho

#

then yea he kinda just gone lol

tight pulsar
#

some people have things to do rather than be on discord all day

royal sandal
#

He asked a question

#

And then doesn’t respond to counter question

#

If you don’t want people to respond immediately then go to r/buildmeapc or whatever

wanton burrow
#

kinda funny thinking that leaving someone unanswered in a convo is fun lol

#

but ok i don't rly mind those kinda things

queen sigil
#

its more about someone who didnt get a response they wanted so they went somewhere else

#

thats what happens alot

rugged lion
#

i do that sometimes

#

i ask a question

#

then forget i asked a question

#

so i dont check back til like 3 hours later

#

its not as simple as the dude doesnt like u or anything im sure he just forgot or went somewhere else or went to do something

#

i dont think he has it out for u

Reason: Bad word usage

queen sigil

terribly over priced

storm hornet
#

Well I gues I didn’t do research

#

But

#

Already bought it so no going back

queen sigil
#

rip

timber ridge
#

you can ask in peripheral chat when you plan to purchase again

#

instead of jus flexing it

queen sigil
#

peripheral chat is something else

#

the only chat that really has enthusiasts for the specific things

timber ridge
#

yea

#

from what ive seen, who ever doesnt hang out in here doesnt know how to help in here

#

they leave it to us lol

storm hornet
#

I didn’t flex I’m a noob still

#

In terms of buying peripherals

timber ridge
#

and its cool, a lot of people dont know about peripheral stuff

storm hornet
#

I tested it at Best Buy and liked it that’s why I bought it

#

I guess I took a Big L

timber ridge
#

its not a bad keyboard in general but terrible for its price

queen sigil
#

if you like how it looks its fine

modern wyvern
#

I can take the heat off you, I'm using a Razer keyboard

storm hornet

razer greens go CLACKCLACKCLACK

storm hornet
timber ridge
#

aslong as you like it, its not a bad purchase

storm hornet
#

And I loved the Logitech mouse

timber ridge
#

if you wanna try something lighter for fps or something jus hit peripheral chat

#

502 is def on the heavier side

swift lantern
#

Oh fh3 definitely gonna get here today

#

Already in my city

storm hornet
swift lantern
#

Good on fiio for having the easiest naming scheme

timber ridge
#

my city is cursed so packages get to my city then have to ship out to a neighboring city then deliver back to my city

swift lantern
#

Fh3? More like fiio hybrid 3

#

Fd5? More like fiio dynamic 5

#

Unless the f is for flagship

timber ridge
timber ridge

Darn

timber ridge
#

yea tragic

storm hornet
#

Was this a good buy for 190$

timber ridge
#

mmm

#

most of the alternatives are around the same price or maybe a bit cheaper

#

but not by much, maybe 20 bucks or around so

storm hornet
#

I passed the test I guess

#

And it’s Samsung 1080 curved 144hz

timber ridge

i would get a curved monitor if they had ips displays tbh

but thats preference

880 250ohm?

turntable, preamp, topping d10s, stereo eq, LD mk3

the dac is for my pc

swift lantern

little crater

i think i had too many spaces lol

#

nothing there is redundant tho

tight pulsar
#

yeah looks like it

timber ridge
#

looks like my hip dac is coming in

#

thank god

swift lantern
timber ridge
#

usually with amazon if it isnt out for deliver by the morning its coming late

#

but it jus went out for delivery a few mins ago

swift lantern
#

mines been out for delivery since 6am

timber ridge
#

is it shipped by an amazon driver or ups or some

swift lantern
#

WOW

#

apparently people are still hype for them

timber ridge
#

you see the higher end version of that

swift lantern
#

the 850 isn't the same thing

timber ridge
#

o

swift lantern
#

it's not planar

#

it's an AMT, ribbon thingy

timber ridge
#

there is like two headphones im interested in rn

#

sundaras kinda cover most of the options, but 6xx and CAL seem to be the two it cant beat

#

in terms of what they specify in

swift lantern
#

???/

timber ridge
#

mids 6xx

#

/ detail

#

and low end of CAL

swift lantern
#

no!

#

the bass one makes sense yes

#

but mids!!! ARE NOTalfa..ajf.as.aj

#

the 6xx doesn't do mids BETTER than anything, it just exentuates them

#

and mids!!!! are the easiest thing for a headphone to do

#

I wish to try the lcd-2c closed back

#

I just wish I could just try them

#

wonder if they'd sound better if the cups were made of wood 1sat_omegalul

timber ridge
#

u need a pair of teaks

swift lantern
#

perhaps I do

#

why can't there just be a place to TRY THEM AAAUGH

#

there are but I'd have to go to los angeles

west hornet
#

Idk a lot of headphones i havent enjoyed the mids on as much

swift lantern
swift lantern
#

theyre here

timber ridge

first impressions ?

west hornet
#

Death

swift lantern
#

fancy box

#

the sexiest cable I've ever seen

#

trying with stock tips making sure all the stuff is set to default

#

a case in a case, lmao

timber ridge
#

told u it came with lowkey a lot of goodies

swift lantern
#

it really do lol

#

that case looks like it might be a bit too small though

timber ridge
#

not 2 pin, but you get nice fiio cable

swift lantern
#

foam tip time

#

L-shaped cable is an instant +1 star for me

#

Good tuning!

#

(finna bass boost it obv but it's at least good default)

timber ridge
#

kuzu dodging my recommendations til now>

swift lantern
#

I wanted to find the hidden gems

#

one weird thing I've ran into with several iems though is that they sounded better on my dang phone than they did on desktop setup, not sure what's up with that

timber ridge
#

youve found rocks so far lmao

swift lantern
#

weirdly think it's dac but not sure how

timber ridge
#

maybe the eq on your phone ?

swift lantern
#

yeah

#

probably

timber ridge
#

ik some dacs change how iems sound

#

iems are a weird thing

swift lantern
#

hmm, bit sibilant in that upper vocal range

#

not a deal breaker but something to note

#

these sound just fine on desktop though

#

these are bass shelf and call it a day, delightful

#

makes me wonder about the FD5 evil

timber ridge
#

fd5s are pretty

#

they say oh10s have more quantity of bass

swift lantern
#

than fd5?

timber ridge
#

fh3

swift lantern
#

I could believe it

timber ridge
#

i didnt look into fd5 comparisons

#

i dont think it was out yet at the time

swift lantern
#

fd5 so far as I've looked into is "kxxs but with BOOMBA bass"

#

right up my ally

timber ridge
#

i didnt know that

swift lantern
#

wow I heard the noise floor of my dac? amp? with these

timber ridge
#

end game for me would be blessings2 with oh10 bass

swift lantern
#

that can be eq shelfed

#

or if you're going endgame I guess there IS that one mobile tube amp

timber ridge
#

can you find any fd5 vs oh10 comparisons

#

im kinda curious now

swift lantern
#

even if it's not out the box

#

the fd5 has a TWELVE mm driver with diamond like coating

#

you can make it do boomba bass

timber ridge
#

i wanna find a comparison but dont seem to see any

#

i found fh5 vs oh10s

swift lantern
#

oh yeah but fd5 is also technically open back

#

totally forgot about that

timber ridge
#

eh

swift lantern
timber ridge
#

with iems id want the seal tbh

swift lantern
#

put foam over it 🤐

#

vs dusk 2

#

dear god I've made a mistake

timber ridge
#

interesting

swift lantern
#

why do I make so many mistakes

timber ridge
#

what happened

swift lantern
#

liquid spark ain't as warm as I thought

timber ridge
#

should of kept the zen can

swift lantern
#

nah, should've gone zen dac

timber ridge
#

yea that would of been enough

swift lantern
#

now time to try hybrid tube amps

#

🄓

timber ridge
#

hip dac is basically a zen dac

#

but portable

What's the census here on the 6x0 series?

timber ridge
#

kuzu despises them bc of his experience with 6xx

wanton burrow
#

doe is rly hurt to buy Keycaps clones? (prob gonna go for gmk fake runner or that "milky white" white-yellow breakfast theme keycaps)

#

tho the gmk fake runner don't have the novelty kit included peepoSadSip

tight pulsar
#

compared to buying it during a gb then yes it hurts the designer and encourages more copies of sets

wanton burrow
#

owh

timber ridge
#

imagine making a piece of art then some small company steals it and sells it for cheaper

wanton burrow
#

prob just gonna stick to the more affordable ones (idk i it's plagiarized ones or just cheap keycaps literally) then buy true ones once i have my own income ig

#

oh yes

#

that keycaps doesn't look like a plagiarized one

timber ridge
#

i mean

#

if you needa save money

#

get whatever you can afford

wanton burrow
#

owh ok

little crater
#

or make your own keycaps flush

wanton burrow
#

hmmmmm

#

that's actually one of my ideas

#

but that's too much for me as of now

little crater
#

resin printing actually works p well for that kind of thing

wanton burrow
#

this set looks like it's just sold from aliexpress and other chinese custom mkb store

little crater
#

but think about the cost of a gb for keycaps, vs just printing your own with this

tight pulsar
#

3d printing keycaps is very rough and way worse quality than getting some from gmk or whoever

little crater
#

yeah but resin printing has waaaaaaaaay finer detail

#

you wouldnt even really have to sand it

#

it comes out real smooth

#

then just paint, although idk what you would do for key legends

wanton burrow
#

$50 keycaps that looks like it's just mainly sold on aliexpress and some other chinese store

timber ridge
#

looks like a flask lol

tall siren
#

Any recommendations for where to look for a good office chair? I don't want to buy something like the Herman brand at full price, but used would be fine (hopefully lol)

cloud ridge
#

Facebook marketplace might be good

#

There's also offerup

timber ridge
#

hyken is pretty cheap alternative

tame canopy
#

i have this random chair i got at goodwill for 6$ but super comfy

wanton burrow
#

3g of 205g0 should be more than enough for a 65% right?

queen sigil
#

lol yeah ofc

daring zenith
#

no no no

#

1kg for every % of the keyboard

#

so 65kg of 205g0

#

/s

wanton burrow
#

coz i can get a k6 $99 variant for a lil cheaper, but it's gat browns and i want linears

daring zenith
#

uh?

#

Keychron k6? There's a gat red version in stock

wanton burrow
#

yea i would change the switch

#

don't mind much if it's gat browns or reds

#

yea

daring zenith
#

oh you want some other linears

wanton burrow
#

ye

#

might give kiwis and tangies a try too

daring zenith

ohh ok

timber ridge
#

^

#

its pretty good

bleak ember
#

I am very tempted to buy a K8 and get Kiwis

daring zenith
#

I am very tempted to buy holy pandas with g lube and switch opener :P

timber ridge
#

if i were to get tactiles again id get bobas

#

but i think ima pick up tangies

queen sigil
#

im very tempted to say it's not really worth putting holy pandas in a k8

timber ridge
#

how much is it per switch

daring zenith
#

I also don't remember price

#

any decent switch that isn't expensive

#

I thought holy pandas were relatively cheap, might've been mistaken tho, maybe I was thinking about feker pandas or something

timber ridge
#

holy pandas are on the more expensive side

#

t1s, gat yellows are cheap

#

dogikon switches were a steal

#

bobas are good in terms of value but not really cheap

#

but also not expensive

daring zenith
#

wot

#

I thought T1s were the expensive ones

#

hm

timber ridge
#

t1s are really cheap

#

not greentech brown cheap

#

but 5.50 for 10

daring zenith
#

Also I was thinking about glorious panda not the drop holy panda

#

keep mixing up names

timber ridge
#

theyre both pretty expensive

#

but g pandas might be the same price as bobas

tight pulsar
#

greetechssssss

daring zenith
#

@tight pulsar how do you feel about greentech browns against gat browns? Didn't you recently get greentech browns?

tight pulsar
#

also grr no western vendors have waterkings yet

#

uh i got them a bit ago but havent built them yet cause im waiting on a friend to send a stab over im missing

daring zenith
#

gotcha

tight pulsar
#

idk if its the leaf or the spring but stock theyre pretty pingy and very loose tops, haata has a force curve for each pretty sure so check those for tactility

daring zenith
tight pulsar
#

theyre the same basically

timber ridge
#

o nachos, do you know how kiwis compare to t1s

daring zenith
#

hm interesting

#

Confused on what the different color stem does xd

tight pulsar
#

my t1 was opened and has a loose top now but the t1 feels more plasticky on the top out and slightly lower pitched, has lower pitched ping

timber ridge
#

pre travel the same on both switches ?

#

its almost non existent

tight pulsar
#

yeah its a t1 stem with slightly different spring (pretty sure at least) and c3 housings

timber ridge
#

o ggs

#

think ima try out tangies

tight pulsar
#

@daring zenith if you want to know about the t1 stuff heres a long review that will probably leave you with more questions https://www.theremingoat.com/blog/t1s

daring zenith
#

Mucho thanks

#

I like more info

tight pulsar
#

goat has a ton of reference stuff with a lot of different switches

timber ridge
#

took a quick look at the water kings and they seem interesting

tight pulsar
#

they're basically unbeatable and especially considering the price, only problem is taobao shipping takes a while

timber ridge
#

if they come to a US vendor soon ill prob pick em up

#

i was debating between u4t and tangerines but they seem really cool for wat they are

tight pulsar
#

those are polar opposites lol

timber ridge
#

yea my 3rd build is gonna be kinda random tbh

#

i could end up with clickies idk

daring zenith
#

@tight pulsar Quick question, is T1 a switch developed by durock or by zeal? I think it's talking about kbdfans buying it from durock but am confused

tight pulsar
#

durock

daring zenith
#

thank

#

So it's just about fake zealios and tealios coming from someone associated with durock, with durock parts

tight pulsar
#

the person that created the durock/jwk factory bought parts from gateron and created fake zeals, who then sold them to kbdfans

wanton burrow
#

ooooooo

rugged lion
#

yo anyone here know what 620 pin is

tight pulsar
#

context?

i must say i think this is the only time i havent gone down in the last half

timber ridge
#

the hip dac is sick

#

drives my k371 and iems super easily

#

swift lantern
#

if it drives sundaras fine I could probably just make that my all-in-one

timber ridge
#

i dont hve my 4.4 cable yet so ill jus be testing it se

swift lantern
#

that's fine

timber ridge
#

ill try it inna sec

wanton burrow
#

kinda annoyed that this person built the keyboard i'm planning to do

#

and tangies too 😨

oh btw should i just get 205g0 for gat browns (possibly for other tactiles too) or get both tribosys 3203 and krytox?

rugged lion
#

so unless your actually like really really good at lubing, stick to 3203 for tactiles and 205g0 for linears

#

u can definitely branch out into other lubes and mixes as u see fit but those are the gold standards

#

but 205g0 is a good thing to have, like in general, as u need it for stabs as well (again, theres definitely alternatives and what not but as a beginner i'd say stick to the regular stuff)

#

i also dont quite know enough about them to recommend them, besides seeing clickbait titles on yuotube like "best lube for stabs???!?!?"

#

also, if u want to preserve even more tactility on your tactile swtiches, dont lube the legs, just the rails

Probably not.

neon root
#

whelp, i has problem cause this is starting to occur more and more and its annoying me >_>

gloomy berry
#

wat problem

neon root
#

Its only a problem with this keyboard, gk61x, but as I would be playing a game or just chillin on my pc, it would disconnect or slightly function where if i press W to move forward, itll move, stop, and move again or the keyboard will just not register me pressing a key or just not allow me to press keys in general. disconnecting the keyboard and reconnecting doesnt work, the keyboard just becomes unresponsive but still receives power. uninstalling drivers/updating drivers havent resolved the issue and trying the keyboard without the lighting software didnt resolve it either. the cable isnt the issue as it happens with the cable it came with as well as other cables i have.

#

when the keyboard is unresponsive, plugging in a different keyboard doesnt work either, that keyboard is unresponsive as well. I have to restart my computer in order for the keyboard to work again and at times not right away and will have to restart the pc a few times before the keyboard becomes responsive again.

KB doesn't work in any port?

neon root
#

it works in any port, its just at times it randomly becomes unresponsive or starts freaking out where itll do the double press or just not want to do what i type

#

bios if it can be a problem isnt a problem since its been happening before and after a bios update

gloomy berry
#

I doubt it's a BIOS issue

#

More likely a software or USB controller issue

#

Have you checked for updated USB drivers from the mobo manufacturer?

neon root
#

I havent and can try that, but would that really be a problem considering its only with this keyboard where the problem occurs?

gloomy berry
#

Might be yes, or might be the controller on the keeb itself

#

If you restart, does it work in the BIOS?

#

If so, that will also point to a software issue

neon root
#

havent tried in bios but after a restart going straight into windows, itll work again

gloomy berry
#

Hmmm, if it does it again, see if you can get into the BIOS with it. Still pointing towards a software/driver issue tho if a reboot fixes it

cherry is prob the oldest and og switch manufacturer

#

outemu is basically cherry clones

most "hotswappable" keyboards with outemu uses outemu hotswap sockets

which sucks

coz u can only put any otheroutemus there

check out the ones that uses gaterons

Ohh.. i have aotemu keyboard because its cheap and idk anything about keyboards lmao.

they're also cheap but better

it's ok

outemu still a great budget switch

Red is linear

Ohh there is a differences.. i see

Linear is just smooth bottom out

Straight going down

Tactiles have a slight bump before going further

Ohhh ok ok but it say non hotswap, what does that mean?

wanton burrow
#

Blue is clicky and the other clickies uses clickbar mechanism

The switch is soldered into the pcb

Meaning u can't just pull it out

Hotswap u can change to other compatible switch

Well that’s what I was debating between

Keychron C2 hotswap or k4 hotswap

rugged lion
wanton burrow
#

i'll buy the k6 with some gmk clones and some tribosys(it's so expensive lmao) and dielectric grease

#

do i rly need the permatex?

#

heard the keychrons come with pre-lubed stabs

#

should i still go for relubing it? (prob mainly for experience lol)

rugged lion
#

also why tribosys

#

also i would test out the stock stabs and see if its okay because sometimes they are fine

#

but sometimes that are not

#

but if u plan on building more boards than u should get some just regardless tbj

wanton burrow
#

coz i see ppl reccomending tribosys 3203 for tactiles

#

should 106 be fine for tactiles?

#

205g0 ain't badly priced tho and it's always available lol

#

wait

#

$1.7/gram

#

tribosys 3203

tight pulsar
#

uh 106 is an oil

wanton burrow
#

uh yes

#

ik

#

coz it's a thin lube

#

idk if it'll be fine for switches coz it's mainly advertised as spring lube right

#

that's why i'm asking

tight pulsar
#

just get a grease it will be way easier to lube with

wanton burrow
#

for tactiles

#

don't rly wanna ruin it's tactility

#

and i will also get 205g0 in the future if i decide which linear to replace gat browns

rugged lion
#

just dont lube legs and lightly lube

#

ppl use 205 on tactiles and its fine

wanton burrow
#

owh ok then

rugged lion
wanton burrow
#

will also try both tactiles and linears so ig having both will be good

rugged lion
#

yeah

#

get a smaller amou nt of 3203

wanton burrow
#

smallest i can get is 5g

rugged lion
#

how much?

wanton burrow
#

$8.8 converted

#

$1.7/gram

rugged lion
#

ah

#

cause i was gonna say loob.no has 2g versions

#

but its like 9 dollars for it so

#

and they are in eu

wanton burrow
#

owh

#

lmao the shop i'm buying the lube answered my lubing question in other server

rugged lion
#

what'd they say

wanton burrow
#

oh it's for like

#

205g0

#

i asked how much switch would a 3g of 205g0 would make

#

that's it

rugged lion
#

u need 205g0 for stabs too tho

#

is the issue

#

so depending on how many boards u dedcide to make

wanton burrow
#

k6 comes w pre-lubed stabs or nah?

rugged lion
#

i'd imagine no 205g0

#

but probably just a sht ton of dielectric grease

wanton burrow
#

5g of dielectric grease is just $3 so....

#

ig i'll go for budget option for now

rugged lion
#

what would that be

wanton burrow
#

what

rugged lion
wanton burrow
#

PC + keychron k6 + trybosis 3203 + dielectric grease + some fake $46 gmk metropolis keycaps set

then try some other switches later on
