This is just my opinion. But it makes no sense from my point of view to buy a keycap set with 3 times the amount of keys needed and high compatibility for all kinds of layouts. If you buy a Tai Hao keycap set you already have much higher quality keycaps than what Steelseries provided with the board...

Another thing with EnjoyPBT (and I guess this is relatively minor issue since I don't hear much complains about this) is their scooped homing keys tend to interfere with the switch housing when bottoming out. There's no noticeable difference in feeling or travel but you can definitely hear the extr...

My experience with ePBT is pretty variable. They make some nice looking sets, but *all* of my ePBT sets have had at least 1 key with a broken steam, and warping on keys greater than 1U is very common, with the right shift and spacebar tending to suffer the most from this. One of my left shifts is s...

Be happy with your Steelseries Apex Pro and stay away from the customized keyboard hobby, and instead spend money with your friends and family for quality time. You're absolutely right, I should. :P It was more of a problem than a hobby. I say "was", because I simply cannot afford to keep it up, no...

Hello people, I'm looking for a nice set of ISO keycaps to go on my Steelseries Apex Pro. It seems GMK are ridiculously expensive and hard to get a hold of, and what I'd much prefer (Maxkeys SA), only do ANSI sets. That only really leaves me with ePBT. Can anyone tell me what they're like? How do th...

For reference, I sold the foam to the OP via Ebay because (surprise surprise) I simply had e-fucking-nough of trying to get a foam replacement to work out on an XT.

You can say that again

Ok, I got replies from several manufacturers who say they will be able to do it! Durock seems to be the most likely candidate, but of course the moulds will be expensive to make. I am running an interest check to see how much demand there would be for these switches: https://forms.gle/yTruRbAyMXFCQ...

why not alter an mx switch to feel like an alps instead to save on tooling costs. would it be possible to use an ultrasubminiature microswitch(mouse type) in a keyboard? mount it underneath the pcb so it actuates when unpressed. It wouldn't really be an Alps switch then, would it? :P I suppose it's...

Companies I've contacted so far: Durock Dongguan Fosen Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. Yueqing Anhe Electronics Co., Ltd. Hua-Jie Kailh Tai-Hao Gateron Alps themselves. It may be a good idea to message these companies too to show there is interest in such a switch. Gateron gave us the Omnipoint Ha...

I'm going to be messaging several switch companies to see if I can find one that can recreate SKCM and the estimated cost. Then we can go from there. That would be pretty exciting. I'd love to have a modern SKCL/SKCM board without any of the hassle. I was interested in trying the Datacomp Alps, as ...

How about a switch manufacturer instead no, I want him to do it. It took Ellipse years and tens of thousands of dollars to do "just" a Model F, which is a much more easiliy recreatable switch design. I can't imagine how much time and money it'd cost to field the research and tooling to recreate SKC...

Funny how there are so very many different shades of red. It's a nightmare to try to color match just about anything! GM "Victory Red" is about my favorite shade. I had a "nightmare" last night where my 4980 Model F was painted red instead of black. Someone had bought it in my dream, but when I got...

My personal take on Alps is just that I can't be bothered and don't see the point. I don't see the magic with them, although I haven't exactly tried any NOS specimens so I wouldn't know. Besides, I'm starting to appreciate linear switches more. I miss my Pingmaster, but it was so uncomfortable to t...

I think the worst crime is saying "it's just a keyboard".

The optoelectronic switches in the Huntsman are most likely Bloody LK Libra, which is the third-generation "Light Strike" switches. Bloody/A4Tech also makes their own keyboards with them, so you won't need to buy Razer to get them. I suppose it's a matter of taste. I much prefer the styling of the ...

I'm afraid the only cure for any Razer Labelled Keyboard today, is to take it out on your steel balustrade and bash the keyboard continuously until it breaks down into smaller pieces and drops everywhere below, onto your driveway. So that later with utter contempt, you could drive over the remainin...

The fight against LGBTQ+ rights is especially frighting as well.

Really now?

When I was a kid I lived in a street where at some point there was an infestation of pharaoh ants. They're very tiny and get absolutely EVERYWHERE, even in things with closed lids, like jam jars. There wasn't a meal we ate that didn't have ants in it, they even got into your drinks. The council had...

I've moved a lot in ten years, and it appears that I've brought them with me with every move. The first house (my grandmother's house) was really, really dirty and damp and I remember seeing these mites frequently, even when not looking for them. Since they're so small, they pretty much anchor them...

We had these a while ago when a slice of bread went unnoticed in the back of the cupboard a while back. The answer was to pull everything out of the kitchen, toss away any unsealed food, and bleach everything daily until the mites were gone. Took about 10 days. Good luck. Somewhat comforting to kno...

These aren't the regular green blowflies that live off rotting meat or piles of shit. No, these bastards don't eat anything. They just look for a warm spot to spend the winter. They can squeeze into little tiny gaps and work their way to the attic, then come down through any little microscopic open...

Oh, blowflies... Do you have any idea why you have them in your house? What are they living off?

I came here to read about house mites, but the posts are missing. What happened? I'm not sure about house mites, but I've got a severe problem with motherfucking cluster flies. I'd never even heard of the bastards before I moved to this place. They invade my house in fall and come out all winter lo...

I've also tried a lot of gaming mice, as I went through a bit of a mouse-buying phase at the start of last year. Logitech's shapes aren't always the best, but the build quality is always solid in my experience. The RGB looks fantastic as well, especially when compared to the Steelseries Rival 600 an...
