I've been using mt3's for about 6 months now and I have to say that they are the most comfortable keycaps I have ever used. And they look super dope. I can see how the height would be an issue for some people. But, I hover my wrists above the board, so no issues there.
Hey man, good video. I personally prefer the SA profile over MT3 simply because I find the MT3 scoop a bit too aggressive especially when hitting keys with my thumb. Also, a correction to your video. Drop does sell PBT MT3 keycaps - the Elvish and Dwarvish keycap sets you showed in this video are dye-subbed PBT. There's also the /dev/tty keycap set which was the first MT3 set to be sold, if I am not wrong.
Thanks for catching that. I unfortunately didn't go through all the listings for the MT3 profile. I have now. And the following are in dye sublimated PBT at time of writing. BIIP MT3 EXTENDED 2048 CUSTOM MATT3O /DEV/TTY MT3 CUSTOM MATT3O MT3 /DEV/TTY THE LORD OF THE RINGS MT3 ELVISH THE LORD OF THE RINGS MT3 DWARVISH MITO MT3 GODSPEED R2
I don't agree on the wrist rest or the angle, although my situation is different. I have a split board that each have different angle positions on both axis to maximize comfort. I touch type but hover my wrists ( so I never even use my wrist pads). They never lay down but maybe that is because of my carpal tunnel(?) Even if I didn't feel pain laying down my wrists, I type faster hovering anyways since I can incorporate more movement. My highest is 166wpm but avg at 140. I like speed typing but the importance is in comfort and mitigation of injury. I could see a struggle reaching on the upper rows without the wrist rest for those that do not hover type. These keycaps are tall man! Great video thank you for the content.
Ah, yeah, I've tried hover typing, always ended up with my wrists pressing against the table, so ended up buying wrist rest to mitigate the issue. But yes, I do need to leave the wrist rest when hitting the number keys. Thanks for the information and complement, Much appreciated.
Made a mistake and Mentioned that MT3 is only in the softer ABS, they have them in Dye sublimated PBT. the following were listed as PBT at time of writing: -BIIP MT3 EXTENDED 2048 CUSTOM -MATT3O /DEV/TTY MT3 CUSTOM -MATT3O MT3 /DEV/TTY -THE LORD OF THE RINGS MT3 ELVISH -THE LORD OF THE RINGS MT3 DWARVISH -MITO MT3 GODSPEED R2 Thanks to Mayank Sharma for pointing this out. I made a video on the GMMK pro Board from the video, link below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PfAQY5u7bAY.html
That is true, Only noticed thanks to an earlier comment. I updated the description and made a comment reply to the mistake mentioning the MT3 are just ABS. Includes a list for people to find which are PBT at time of writing.
Just checked, yes, Serika is PBT. Made a comment that I missed on the MT3 keycaps that had PBT at the time. Updated the description, list should be there. added in Serika, from the original comment I made.
Good info. One detail: you absolutely don't touch type. Using literally 4 fingers instead of 2 isn't touch typing. And most of all, using your goddamn index finger to press the spacebar isn't touch typing. It's how 8 year olds that have never typed on a keyboard before type.
listen pal, ive seen enough sound tests to know that people who have unorthodox typing styles can whip the fuck outta my 100wpm in a more traditional typing stance .. its ignorant, rude and insulting that you are so shallow minded that you think it matters, but just so you know, 'touch typing' in any book is typing without looking at the keyboard
Thanks. As far as I was aware touch typing is just typing without having to look at the keys. But yes, I do not use the traditional correct way to touch type. Simply felt more comfortable using my index when using the spacebar.
Wow dude, let people type however they want. And @Enthusiast Impressions is correct in that touch typing is essentially "typing without looking and relying on muscle memory". If you play piano and are able to produce music, but aren't classically trained with regards to form and technique, that doesn't mean you don't play the piano...
