There's a reason why people use teensy in prototypes...

Tone depends on keycaps.

Currently using mix and match DSA profile (left hand) and mostly DCS double-shot ABS (because my right hand haven't fully memorized the layout yet)

Click is closer to a thud than actual click, mainly due to bigger bump. I highly suggest that you try typing on ergo clears with a pair of headphones and let the sound translate through your fingers instead.

Word.

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more dedication than me.

I still very reluctant to solder such intricate stuff. Even though my skills improved a lot compared to before I started doing keyboards, I am still scared.

I still have not gotten my shipped email... Sigh..

Partially. Sometimes you get the tracking status that it arrived in the local processing center. That means you'll get the item in 3 days.

KL area would be me or 016. Obviously 016 would be easier since some parts I will source from him also.

Others... GLHF.

Buy a cheapo one first. Locally, that means, Ducky Zero Shine (sub-300) or Rosewill. Personally, I'd vouch for ducky because I used it with no problem last time.

Build-wise, the Ducky is quite solid (a small step below Filco) unless you start looking for LEDs, then I'd say that nothing really beats the Ducky Shine 3, or the Shine 4 when it does come out in terms of bling and build quality.

I you're playing Doto, I suggest that you go for Blues insted, and only use Browns if your fingers are softer than a pvssy. cat's paws. You know what I mean. Personally, I use 55g Ergo Clears for Dota.

If you're using desktop rubber dome previously, then MX Blue's actuation force isn't that big of a difference. If you have been using laptops more, then it might take a while.

All MKBs are relatively easy to clean (use polident to bath the keycaps, then just vacuum/brush the housing).

If you're in the Subang area, I can suggest a few shops if you're looking for new keyboards.

p/s: the rune bindings changed, so you might wanna take a look into changing your macros.

Sticker, lube, solder, test, tune, program...

You think easy?

On the other hand, I'll never let anyone do it for me because I like doing it.

IMO, RM140 is a decent price to charge for all that. It'll take 2-3 hours for an experienced electrician to solder that many switches and test them all out.

The commands for camera look has changed somewhat. I can't remember the exact commands anymore, gotta go home see my autoexec file.

USD then not worth it, IMO. I'll do it for you at RM200.

Stickers and lubing about 6 contact points, I think. Nothing much else you can do. A few dozen test presses per switch also if I got curious.

Then I personally recommend MX Browns for your pwnning needs.

Topre full, 55g clears on Ergo, MX browns on TKL, 55g clears on lightsaver.

This setup only gooding.

Calm your tits. It's capacitive. There are a lot of capacitive switches around, and unless I see the switches itself I won't get over excited.

It'll last you for years. Heatgun or hair dryer also can use.

Hahaha. I misread. It's USD 140, so should sound about right.
That's why I suspect that it's not really Topre. So much LED.

Dude... Topre is the endgame tactile switch. Trust me. Going from MX Browns to Topre is like... dunno how to explain.

Currently forcing myself to use my Ergodox to train my muscle memory, otherwise I'd go back to the Topre.

Don't be cheap. Spend the money and buy a real man's keyboard.

HHKB lite is membrane bro... Get the pro.

Real man's keyboard is Topre/Buckling Spring. Topre is like typing on REAL cloud of bewbs. So soft and yet so bouncy and responsive.

Agree. Browns is like my bare minimum now until lightsaver arrives.

Hehehe... Up to you bro... When you want it, lemme know.

Can't help you two. Besides, Topre needs 2 weeks to go from "Errr...." to "Hnngggghh OMGWTFBBQ whyamisostupidtonothavetriedthisi'llneverneedanotherkeyboard"

Leopold<Typeheaven<Realforce~HHKB

I put realforce and HHKB together because I hate 60% boards and I like my winkeys (multitaskers FTW!). Any questions?

p/s: already have a Realforce.

Lousy keycaps.

Novatouch will have even lousier keycaps. Ok maybe just as bad as typeheaven.

Only logical thing to do with a novatouch is to buy it, harvest the stems, and say hello to realforce+MX keycaps. Hnggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I will buy one set if it doesn't cost more than RM 200. That might be the only thing that will re-open my keyboard craze. After that will buy another set of keycaps for my Topre, then I'm quietly and surely fading out.

That's true, but who gonna let you audition 2 weeks?
