Lubing..adding more sound dampening foam perhaps...

To make it sound more thocky thn click clackity

yeah i think they can help with it. there's also MKB stores around multiple areas, PCMOD...

If you have time it's easy to do yourself too, i usually lube switches while listening to podcasts.

hye is lebog Hi75 is good choice for RM300 budget. with aluminum frame.
currently using cmstorm quickfireTK for almost 10 years.

Probably my endgame keyboard unless something new and practical shows up.

interesting new layout
mind to share whats that barebone set?

Wooting 80HE

need some recommendations for TKL around 300 - 400

Hi Guys
Is it cheaper to buy mechanical keyboard from taobao or retail shop at KL here?
I am looking at brands like Leobog/Keychron

Any recommendation for
65% or 75% layout with knob
Mahjong thocky sound
Prioritize on typing experience (prefer tactile but dont like the clicky blue sound)

bought leobog hi75 last month from taobao.
nimbus v3 switch, complete set with keycaps for rm190
arrived after 1 week
if buy here complete set rm3++.

found time and fixed source codes for mw65.rgb2 pcbs with APM32F103, a clone mcu for STM32F103. this pcb also use a custom uf2 bootloader that is not supported by official qmk. now it's up and running with the current qmk-0.28.0.

recently i also found aula's boards when i visited allit. in terms of feel, they are relatively better than what we used to have as prebuilts.

it's good to know that beginners do not need to spend much anymore to get started.

Anyone tried budget keebs like Leaven, Thunderobot, Zifriend, CPS? Any of these are good for beginners?

ND75 so far so good. The only nit pick I have is the backlight not bright enough, no via.

for beginner, as long as key features are ok, e.g., layout, switch hotswapping support, decent keyboard constructions, they should be good enough. the rest depends on their will to explore and learn.

at the very least, affordable prebuilts today provide relatively better user experience for beginners to start with, even if they have no intention to move further.

sweet. i just stick to 64-key 60%, sometimes 65/75. even though i have my tkl kit collection, i have built none of them lol

i'm still a linear user. after a prolonged use of silent linear for work, i'm used to the inherited mushiness as well. i treat it as a way to retreat from smooth linears.

i actually looking on wave75.
maybe get another one 84 compact too

yesterday accidentally bumping into 280, fully build wave75 red.
now can retire already lol

already using wave75 as home pc primary keyboard.
the switch are lilac switch. but when i search on internet, seem like there not much info of it.. and no shop selling it?

some kind of exclusive?

as long as it suits your taste, with or without tweaking, then it's good.

YEA. its above expectation.
i know its thocky but never know its way way beyond that.
and no need any mod.

but i wanna to buy few lilac switch for spare.. searching on internet cant find any.

sweet. recently, stock prebuilts that are meant for customizations are ok in general.

for the switches, https://pmosm.tmall.com/
