now i got the picture. i think you prefer high-pro/tall key caps, like sa, mg those. what do you think about domikey sa?

as for sound, high-pro key caps also provide relatively 'thocky' sound, compared to lower profiles imo. (it's more than that. keyboard sound is affected by the board and external stuff like deskmat. in terms of a board, parts like switch, case, plate type, keyboard construction, and modifications, also contribute to sound profile)

yeah i have gone through a list of key cap profiles as well. eventually most of them are in the store room haha

maybe you should check out mt3 profile also.

i guess it's time for me to pick up key cap profiles that i skipped previously. the current profile that i am waiting for is mcr from melgeek, https://www.melgeek.com/products/gb-melgeek...ard-melgeek-com

their mg salmon is also ready to ship.

Very nice choice of switches, I had my Boba Yam before Pantheon was telling me they were launching these Gazzew Boba LT awhile back

Stems from Boba LT, Swith housing from normal Boba U4Ts

hahaha of course i use 75%; my preferred sizes are 60/65/75%.

i use 64-key 60% as my main layout because as of now, parts are still readily available (e.g., cx60 pcb which supports single 64-key layout; different plate types and thickness; pre-cut foams), and i can use up all the keys as frequently as possible

in terms of layouts, a way to find out is to check out https://config.qmk.fm/ and load the supported layouts of 60% pcbs, e.g. standard-ansi, hhkb, and others. with chording, a lot of things are actually achievable with 60 or below.

i was a long-term gk-64 user previously, so i'm used to gk-64-style layout. i don't use right shift, so i make that 1u-right-shift as mo(2), for board settings. i can also set up the del key as mo(3) if i want to, because i can use shift + backspace as del.

I will look up to it, but kinda hesitant that they don't offer 10 switches at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the opinion. I thought of hearing folks around here on their experience with their current switch/es especially on linear ones. All the while I'm only know the ones from Cherry & kinda surprised with many brand of switches in the market.

Dolphin is not sold locally but I manage to find one from Aliexpress, which I think it's flat rate across.
Durock Store

As for Zeal's offering, I'm unsure which source to go to (especially the ones from China or local) as previously there are clones based on some article over the web.
(T1s, Durock, and the Stealios Controversy)

At the moment I don't have a board to test those switches until next year when they fulfill the group buy. It's gonna be a long wait.

Yeah appreciate his thoughts on this. For the Gazzew that you recommended it is interesting but unfortunately light diffusion is one of my needs. Though after installing keycaps (especially the non-backlit compatible) pales the lighting, I'm sure that this will freshen up my experience with the board every time I use (the board I'm going for is south facing LEDs). Nothing wild, simple array of lights does that for me (I have a choice to turn it off when I don't feel like it, which is a plus).

The only minor gripe I have with my K70 Speed Silver is the accidental input whenever I rest my fingers on the keycaps. Other than that, no complaints whatsoever. My new upcoming board is just to try out something new (TKL) or possibly cultivate the hobby.

Getting my 2nd board, which is the Dareu a98 with v3 sky blue switches

Anyone can suggest a document typing mech keyboard ? for office use ?
Prefer plain black full size like dell keyboard , do not need any rgb.

I read mx brown is for typing but didn't not experience it.
You know , most office is using rubber dome keyboard hp or dell.
I found old keyboard similar to office a like logitech G-610 but it's an old keyboard not selling anymore.

Anyone can suggest a similar look full size black keyboard like dell or similar with G-610 ? blue switch is too distracting , brown with tactile is suitable to typing document compare to hard rubber dome from dell and hp.

Asking for a friend..

What are the thocky switches aside from U4T and Ink Black?

Is it mx brown tactile ?  I search around , all sold out no restock for Ikbc CD108 V2 full black keys cap.
Not popular ? replaceable key cap ?

your hobby ?
As for me , i just wanted a keyboard with better key press compare to rubber dome.If I measure the force , I need about 65-70 grams actuation force to press since having a bump below.It doesn't force down and register until i bottom out 65-70 grams.I guess you guys know what i mean by rubber dome.It's tiring to type for hours.

Keyboard type :
After reading a few page of the thread , i found there are a lot of key switch
https://keybumps.com/switch-list.html
Without actual trying everyone of them , just by browsing at youtube video , it's hardly able to choose which one is suitable for my liking.

niakulah when you first buy a mechanical keyboard , which one did you choose and the reason ? or did you try and test with other type of keyboard before choosing ?

we all started somewhere. mine was a full-size corsair k70 rgb. it's still kicking nicely after i belanja'ed it with kopi peng/coke/milo peng, etc. in different occasions.

i do make a lot of mistakes, like giving wrong comments, with then puny and limited experience. e.g., shiny ABS key caps are bad. now, i ended up getting more ABS key caps; and i think shiny key caps are ok haha

eventually, we all will come to a point and realize that there is no right or wrong in this hobby. as long as the owner is happy with their work, it's really good enough.

it's just a keyboard after all.

If any of you still looking to snap up a unit of Satisfaction 75 R2 extras from Cannonkeys, you're in luck, Ilumkb website has a few in stock, cloud white, deep ocean blue & seaweed green colour.

That knob more expensive than some keyboards lol

I think your top should be opaque like boba u4t non rgb or that gat yellow pro milky to represent the santan rice.
And recolor the spring to brown as ikan bilis.

Here bro but no barebones

Isn't that rebult qk65 overpriced? Rm1199 for full case kit and pcb.

What kind of chording do you do?
On my current board I do ASD for Win+Shift+S (Windows Snip and sketch tool) and Home+End for Alt+Prt Scr (no standard Prt Scr at all on any layer).

On my numpad, I use 12 for a, 23 for b, 3Enter for c, 45 for d, 56 for e, 6+ for f. Helps me to enter MAC addresses and IPV6 addresses faster just from the numpad.

Come give me some ideas please.
