There's nothing wrong at all with that way of thinking.

A lot of people, especially those stingy or cheapskate ones, will call you out for your approach. In their minds, if you don't buy the correct switch on the first attempt, it means you are a spendthrift who didn't do your homework properly.

But if you can easily afford a second (or third) keyboard, this trial-and-error method is probably the best. It's what I practice and I firmly believe MKB enthusiasts should never have only 1 board. Many important lessons are learnt through the process of comparison. Besides, you can always sell off what you don't need at a later date.

Btw I like how you say "I can just buy another keyboard" like money is not an issue

You must have gotten old generation Gat blues (milky shell). The smoothness is very very obvious on the new gen (clear shell).


Again, old gen issues. The actuation force on my newer gen Gat blues is on par with MX Blues, maybe even lower. It's definitely not higher.

I have a board with first gen and another with second gen, my gut feeling says the first gen springs are 5g stiffer but no time to do a thorough comparison

My stab wire also always come out when I change pants, oops I mean caps

Maybe next time we can meetup and lube each other's stabs <3

Someone made that joke on GH, funny rite


I personally wouldn't use 1800-ish layouts (I rely on gaps to feel the arrow keys) but bloody hell does that look good.


Sure why not. We can cuddle afterwards too <3

yes, the set looks way better on the Lightsaver compared to the 60%

dadude is going to disagree, but IMO you should try as much mass-market junk first before building a custom. I'm glad I did.


+1

That one I cincai set the LEDs.

You can get a better outcome if you actually spend time using the configuration tool.

It's not that bad la...

It's like digging your nose, once you find the right technique, you can just stick to it for the rest of your life

I will always take costar over cherry stabs if given the choice. Modded (clipped) cherry stabs feel fragile, I dunno.

CNC case for Novatouch - something I've been saving up for.

The maker is also testing it to see if it can fit the QFR-i.

deswai everybody needs to buy & keep a few pairs of plastic inserts. They are dirt cheap anyways.


The stabilizer stem has 4 small feet that helps to dissipate the force whenever the Backspace or Enter key (for example) gets bottomed out.

Clipping = removing two feet per stem = lesser surface area to dissipate force = higher stress on the remaining feet.

But that's not the worst part. I managed to yank out the a stab stem once while changing keycaps. IIRC it was the left stab stem of my RShift key. This wouldn't have happened if the stem had all its feet intact. The right stab stem managed to stay in place though.

No, plenty of keyboards have detachable USB. Not everything is like your DK2108.

Man I really hate fixed USB cables

not plenty. choices are pretty limited. plus the nice ones are always out of stock.

miracle, a GMK GB with quick completion

why don't you try it and report back to us

LOL




Give chance a bit la...
