Hi all
been using RK96 for 10 days
it has the red switches
before this I used a HP rubber dome keyboard
and the A key rubber dome crapped out
so my experience is limited, what is and should be
My problem with the RK is that, while all the keys are light (linear reds)
the spacebar seems exceptionally sensitive, to a point where I can featherily glide with my finger on the space bar will activate the switches
So am thinking of changing some switches and looking at Gaterons Yellow
is this enough for an ex-dome user, or do I need to go tactile browns/blues?
or is this the growing pains of changing from rubber to mecha?

QUOTE(horns @ Oct 9 2023, 06:11 PM) you should replace the stock switch for space bar with gateron yellow/black, or cherry mx black. if you have friends that are in the hobby, you can try ask if they have stock springs of the switches mentioned. in general, just swap the spring with the heavier ones. edit: i usually use cherry mx black's stock spring or equivalent for space bar too. it feels better to me. however, i will mistype a lot if i used them for other keys. none of my frens are the mecha type heck a keyboard @RM200 also they  anyway, plonk down some gaterons yellow switches and see if that helps thanks  |

QUOTE(horns @ Oct 10 2023, 11:43 AM) ok welcome to the club haha since you have a hotswap board, it's good for you to get familiar with that board, then learn things at your own pace. stock prebuilts are usually underperformed. it's up to you to make it better for yourself. its news, see how later on for now it much better than the dome one QUOTE(josh5671 @ Oct 10 2023, 12:02 PM) wa../k member if any switch too 'light weight' can try something linear with heavier weight. like graywood v3 i using actually causing some double tap or no trigger issue. (maybe due to keyboard pcb or switch loosed time to time) changed to heavier switch like oil king did solve most of the issue. but i still got like 100 graywoodv3 in the box  yeah but $$$$ non stop.... |

QUOTE(niakulah @ Oct 11 2023, 09:17 AM) As horns mentioned, you can change the switch to something with a heavier spring or swap the spring in your current switch. Since you are unsure of what you like (linear/tactile/clicky), and you really only need 1 switch for your spacebar(for now), get yourself a tester or sampler. The switches in the tester are functional switches. https://shopee.com.my/9-key-Cherry-Gateron-...487.21682478439https://shopee.com.my/Akko-16-key-Switch-Sa...202.16692494655https://shopee.com.my/Akko-x-MonsGeek-16-Ke...434.18578732848https://pantheonkeys.com/collections/mechan...tch-sample-packwas original looking to get my mouse re-button due to double clicking and this one dude have *some* switches so i put down some gateron yellows  seems cheap enuff for me to get some out to try |
