After 1 and half year, it seems like 1 of my button rosak... not sure why...
I blow off with blower yesterday, and wipe my button with damp cloth... After that use few hour everything fine...

Today I use, it keep spam 5 "(like you holding 5) . . then i take off both my 5 button..
It seems the number pad area is ok.. i can press and it sense accordingly.


I think this is the culprit, once install it will spam they key..
I taken off n swap between the 2 switch..


I guess I need to replace the switch.. Rm20 for 35 switch seems good.. Do you guys lube it? What type of lube you guys use? I saw there is gpl with many diff model and permatex..
How many gram will be used if we lube over 100 keys? I think mine is prelube 1 year plus when I bought.. But I need prelube these new switch that I going to replace..

Personally, I would consider replacing all the switches with new budget factory lubed switches. Either get Leobog Graywood V4 locally or MZ Studio Z1 from Taobao.

If you passby Batu Caves area, can grab 90 pcs new Graywood V4 from me for RM30

Still waiting for switches and keycaps for this board. Behold the "defect" 1.1kg 20mm stone wrist rest that only cost me RM26.35 shipped

Stone must feel so cold... nice

Do you guys pay attention to keycap set designs?

As a late comer to the hobby i'm sorta meh with most of the current GMK sets, while a lot that is cool to me is long gone and pretty unobtanium..

What sets are you interested in? mind sharing?

Perestroika, Chocolatier, Phantom, Zooted, Oblivion, Handarbeit, Olive and there are a lot of nice blue sets that i cant remember .. i guess my taste is very plain

maybe all the good colors has been picked earlier...answering my own question here..

theres a lot of weeby sets nowdays and i dont like it hahaha

oh. That day novelkeys did have the buy 2 free 1 summer sale. They did have Phantom, Oblivion and Olive R2.

Zfrontier do have the zooted. Maybe Handarbeit can be replaced with Panels?. haha

But I do like that balck snail with the alpha kit. Simple color.

There are alot of GMK, just our MYR... hahaha... very tough

BTW, dailyclack is running sales. can check out their GMK sets

Where did you get the crush80?

I tried HMX xinhai, changlan and Hyacinth V2. Really like the Hyacinth V2 feel and sound. The is dense enough and high pitch enough

Taobao as usual, imagine how many people are ready to pull the trigger. 8pm restock and gone within 3 seconds, I made the mistake of checking address. Only can order one unit and they aren't restocking black, so I guess silver is the first pick for most people.

I was tempted to try Canglan V2 and Hibiscus as they have the lowest pitch and quietest among all the HMXs, but then I decided to go low actuation switches instead.

The options were between this, HMX Perky and Geonworks Raptor MX Extreme. I like how it looks, the other two have transparent top shell that turns white light into pink and red. Perky is loud while vintage citrus has the lowest total travel @ 3mm, almost went with raptor as it has the lowest pre-travel among these @ 0.9mm.

Might just buy 10 switches each later on and compare them, this switch feels damn snappy

probably the weirdest keyboard i've seen yet. speechless

Do you miss your smartphones having physical buttons to type on?

https://www.lowyat.net/2024/325851/clicks-keyboard-iphone/




only for iphone. it's not cheap but if you miss typing on actual buttons, they got you covered xd.


I think this would be the better setup. Dex using say a samsung S24 Ultra. then you can use an actual mechanical keyboard on a big screen.



It's not as mobile on the go as the clicks (in terms of holding the smartphone in your hand as you're typing or something close to pocket size), but it would be more worth it i think. Cause you can make do just using the smartphone touch screen for typing. And when you get that mechanical keyboard urge for typing, you can use the dex setup to connect to a monitor and a mkb

Though i think you need a wireless/bluetooth mkb for this to work? but there are a lot of those these days.

Just wondering how is your Colemak-DH journey?

Still sticking with it. Every day I use it I am struck by how little movement is required to type common words.

That still has not translated to speed though. I'm in the high 20s low 30s.

all the way from Chernobyl

Agreed, I used Colemak-DH alongside with Wide and Symbol mod, it so much comfortable than qwerty.

Not the first, but it's getting cheaper

1920 x 480 10.1" touch screen, support QMK and VIA
999RMB (RM650)

If with Android it will be good for some spare time emulator gaming.
