Or you can stop typing like a spider and just lift your wrists with floating hands, I use 1 floating hand (my left) and still type quite quickly without having any wrist issues, because my wrists are free to move and tilt to adjust to keys. I have not really seen anything about this and I get no pain, I used to get pain and I just...stopped typing like a spider?- and my RSI dissipated after I lifted my wrists and I never even considered stuff like this since.
clones are good for the consumer, but if i designed keycaps i would be pissed if someone was profiting off my design. Maybe maybe two sets at a time, a budget option and a premium set.
i have a topre keyboard, the futzitsu realforce r2. great keyboard, cost arm and a leg and i love it, customizing it on the other hand is quit the challnge, to find keycaps for it is a pain in the behind, to nod it more? good luck cause you gonna need it lol
The foam, “thock”, “creamy” sounds attract newbies. I have a friend who recently got into the hobby, I showed him a soundtest of an f1-8x, said he hated it…
You should use a sharpie to remove the sliders, works perfectly, get a good handle on it and press on the middle of the slider, it will pop right out and it is just ever so slightly too big so it won't go through the housing.
Buenos días quiero saber más sobre el aparato que venden para los pies 👣 pedí uno no estoy a gusto con lo que me envió pensé que era una máquina mejor me siento defraudada😢 aque número llamo gracias.
Could you do a video on switch compatibility with Mill Max sockets? I'm reading about how different switches don't fit into Mill Max sockets and not sure what switches I can and cannot use. Thanks for the great video!
If your impression of clickies is MX Blue, they deserve to be hated. Alps switches, Buckling Springs and clickbars on the other hand are not the same beast. In fact, hot take: Cherry MX is literally only good in linear, do not buy the others, do not buy MX clones in tactile or clicky, minor tweaks do not save them. Fixing them requires radically different design. (If you truly like browns you are a niche special snowflake who likes your keyboard less tactile than rubber domes, this is a fact, do not recommend them to normal people)
I'd consider myself an enthusiast and even then, I will always support and will always actively choose clones over GMK keycaps. Even if it means keycap designers will be screwed over out of incentives off their designs or whatever. Artificially created "hype" or "FOMO" in order to drive up value will always rub me the wrong way, even more so when they actively choose to limit plastic options to sh*tty ABS keycaps that will start to shine and look oily significantly quicker than PBT keycaps. Just the fact GMK keycaps are strictly only ABS will forever drive me away from them, price isn't even an issue, but if I'm paying for a premium, I would prefer something that's lasting instead of something that would lose its "freshness" within 6 months or maybe even less when it wasn't a stretch to say that you could end up waiting up to 2 years for your keycaps, only for it to last 6 months of use before looking gross and shiny? No thanks. Not to mention the changes they've made to the trays they were using, the new ones that means your keycaps may not look presentable upon unboxing, the one that you might end up finding a few keycaps scrambled into random positions when unboxing. Yes, the one that you may end up finding cockroaches/silverfish in because it's made of potato starch. When the whole point of these "Designer keycaps" was for it to be displayed and/or held onto and flipped for a higher value in the future when selling in the first place. For a company that's making you wait ridiculous amounts of time and charging you premium costs, limiting plastic options to the worst kind and packing your $200+ keycaps in trays that have zero longevity, it just ain't right. Don't want clones? The answer is always available and it's pretty damn simple, work with "clone makers" or other reputable keycap producers. PBT Noel, PBT Olivia etc. these exist. Ultimately the incompetence falls on the greed of a keycap designer for being adamant about sticking with GMK because GMK is the company that will pay them well because of how much they make. No respect and no sympathy for the ones that intentionally limit options as a result of their own greed. Either way, I already purchase my own parts and build my own keyboards, so perhaps I wouldn't fall under the category of "potential customers" for your retailer business. But I think this goes for anyone really that even if you refuse to carry clones, customers will just go look somewhere else for them. There are plenty of options readily available with relatively fast shipping time these days anyways. And hey, maybe I'm just an outlier or a contrarian that loves opposing others' opinions. But I think enthusiast "purists" that are hell-bent against clones and actively seek to create separation between themselves and "newcomers" that may or may not support clones, are a bunch of a-holes. It's a collection hobby, not a sport or a competition, and gate-keeping someone's options because YOU spent hundreds of dollars and waited YEARS for keycaps makes YOU, a piece of sh*t. Whether you were willing or are just coping with the idea that you /were/ willing to spend that money and wait that duration when the reality is that you just want other people to pay the price you paid or waste the time you wasted, you are NEVER entitled to telling people how THEY should enjoy THEIR hobby. The bottom line is that if designers simply reached out to manufacturers outside of just GMK and decided maybe to just, idk, work with these "Clones manufacturers" then they wouldn't even be clones anymore, they'd just be the designer's work but published from different manufacturers. It's not that difficult.
I prefer PBT over ABS, due to better sound, texture, and shine resistance. I own clones of my GMK sets and ended up prefering the clones over the original! If designers want to stop clone factories from stealing their work, they need to do as some designers already have (cannoncaps, nicepbt, NK) and link up with vendors/factories to create affordable PBT versions of their designs. It makes zero sense to me to insist on doing a GMK set when it is 2-3x more expensive, ABS, poor QC, terrible lead times, and high risk (just look at all the GMK sets that never got sent due to vendors exit scamming). And for people who prefer PBT like me, there is no real option other than clones!
Beginner here. The creamy feel will retain the clack or thock characteristic that the setup had originally (before mods/enhancements)? Hence creamy can be still "creamy clack" or "creamy thock"?
As a french liking keyboards (maybe not a real enthusiast per se) finding the right set of ISO-FR keycaps sets is a real challenge and sometimes clone is my last resort
Okay, so I'm getting into this hobby, and I already know it's damn expensive but aside from that: I can't understand a good alternative to Roccat Titan2 Brown switches. I think what I want is a 50g switch with the tactile bump ALL the way at the top, little to no jiggle/slack (I don't know mostly any terminology or what they mean aside from one, "thocky" I want thocky.) Does this exist? Oh with a clear/crystal top so RGB puke can shine in any low profile "case". I know what I ask is weird, stupid, "just buy a Roccat Vulcan and stop complaining", but I would like to find something that I can get a bag of and never have to buy a Vulcan again because they will go extinct in the future.
foam isn’t bad but if you stuff them into keyboards that are known for their unique sound signature it’s going to sound like any other keyboards stuffed with poron and pe foam
Ok so filling out a keyboard case with only Foam is one thing, but what about other materials like poured silicone, epoxy clay, plumber's putty, table cloths, wheel weights, custom cut stainless steel/Brass, polyurethane rubber, neoprene, and mass loaded vinyl? Which one of those mentioned materials does better or worse on a cheap or expensive keyboard? Which one of them can be combined well on a keyboard to create a unique sound signature inbetween one another? This "Foam" debate is incomplete when there are other materials and factors needed to address, but then again you'll never know the next material keyboard modders would put inside their cases.
≠ membrane because there isn't a membrane sheet But it is a very expensive rubber dome keyboard, yes Sounds interesting, categories can have variation in quality, so I'm not too worried about that really
Vintage keyboard collector here- try harder next time, it's a rubber dome board there literally isn't a membrane, it's a capacitive keyboard that uses rubber domes for tactility, that give a firm bottom out feel because of the backing PCB. I do not personally like Topre, but I know what it is and why I don't like it atleast, not my personal feel.
*Clicky for life!* Screw everyone and their ears! Edit: Then again, im using quality clickbar switches, not the pingy trash cherry is peddling. Kailh jades and navies FTW!
