Any update on the draw?

Very cool! I'll keep an eye for the sales to.

Oh dear.

Lessons learned, stick to lurking.

Leopold make some of the nicest OEM boards right now honestly

I wouldn't say I'm a power user, i don't work from a computer a lot of the time and if I do it's workshop based so putting a 500$ keyboard in amongst the dust would turn my stomach. However when I do use a computer I want it to be a comfortable experience with a nice keyboard.

I think of it like ...

Forgot to say I sent a pm yesterday

Ne keyboards avail?

Hey, looking for an SSK

Ideally grey badge but not essential.
I'll consider international shipping but obviously preferably EU
Lmk what you have!

I can feel the inevitable "hall effect is the superior option" brewing

Kailh box switches being the most resistant, also to water.

Outemu dust proofs have a resistance to dust as the name might suggest

Idk man, if I was the MC of a magical girl anime I'd be pretty dang happy about it, I defy anyone to not find joy in being badass and cute in an outfit like that.

wodapter?
badapter?
fadapter?

I mean I could go on...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it seems there's no access to the stabilizer without taking everything apart :/

Do you think I should try a thick lubricant? I kinda don't ...

I am puzzled why they compromise their design with legacy constraints like the Cherry body pattern and stem design, when the latter is identified as making the unit taller than it needs to be. It appears to be an admission that the keycap tail is wagging the dog and resulting in a lesser ...

I might have one, I'll have a look and get back to you!

You can find it on KbdFans for instance. I believe it is manufactured by Gateron.

AFAIK Enjoypbt buy blanks from gateron and then do the dyesubbing, good quality caps for their price

@St0ckz: Thanks for the ring IDs. Wow, if I do say so myself, the Keyclack V2 rings appear to be rather crudely cut. Now I don't feel quite so bad about the rather extreme cost differential! On the other hand, if they work well, I suppose they don't need to look pretty. It will be interesting to ...

What are the rings in the pic?

Hyperspheres on the left, Keyclack v2s on the right iirc

There's more to keyboards than OEM now and from yesteryear.

Custom keyboards are a direct reaction to wanting higher quality keyboards as well as wanting a certain degree of customization.

Highly disagree with "aluminium keyboards make everything sound bad" where in fact low profile style cases ...

Box switches YIKES , sound bad and destroy your caps, the solution to which is to REBUY "fixed" box switches... can't lube them, the royals click after some use, the other tactiles are linear, half the selling point was low wobble but they wobble just as much as cherry, the only half decent thing ...

Looking forward to attempt number 3

I tend to avoid the issue by not using box switches at all, given the fact they're not that good and the Kailh Speed clickies are imo better

Close enough I guess?

I like the clack of bottoming out on a switch and I'd rather not have a bump interrupting me half way through :lol:


Lol. I am a heavy typer. I bottom out HARD on anything I type on. Even my MX Greens, which supposedly have very high both actuation and bottoming out forces. :p


IDK I know a ...

uhhh, can't tell if trolling or not but you got me to bite anyway.

"yeah well, that's just like, your opinion man"


Not trolling at all.

I've always found at least some sort of tactile feel to be completely and utterly mandatory in any switch for me...

And while I know different people like ...

Wait, so you're basically saying that apart from everything that's better, they're by far the best linear switches you can find? :p

Without any arguments to support even that much? :p


To me this is pretty much a moot point.

I don't understand why linear switches from any maker exist at all ...

"tonight at 8, a man was arrested last night after charges were brought by an electrical component manufacturer for breaching copyright laws on their logo they stopped using in 1980, the accused said this as he was arrested by the FBI: 'I was just trying to make a sticker... it's a victimless crime ...

MX style switches are realistically the only option for the vast majority in this hobby, like it or not, that's the current reality. Not to say they don't have their flaws but if we're being honest with ourselves that's it.

The resurgence in popularity of alps and their clones is a nice change but ...

I mean it sounds terrible.. I wonder who made the decision to make the case black glossy plastic, the bane of everyones life.

Admittedly, I don't understand it either.

However, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place.

If you don't like something, don't buy it. If you do like it that's great.. people do themed builds all the time customising every part the way they want it.

Laserboost, when it's all said and done is ...
