The fact people don't value how much faster number input is on a numpad blows my mind. The only use 1-0 should get is when typing passwords or being used as hotkeys in games, other than that every number should be typed with numpad key-fu in a flurry of keystrokes.

@esaedvik 2 месяца назад

The process of finding what you like is always so interesting. I didn't really even test the feel of too many things when I built my first, just had two pre-builts before it and a TON of YT videos to gauge the sound profile I wanted. It was a tad intimidating, but the biggest hurdle for me is always just sticking with it when something feels like it's taking too long. Ripping off stock caps and switches is soooo booring. Super rewarding process in the end though and been absurdly happy with mine for a year now. I really do want to build a proper split keeb now that I have an Alice layout one. I do recommend protecting your arms and hands with an ergonomic keeb.

@pizzatothemax 6 дней назад

I can totally relate! I needed some silent switches for my keyboard at work because my keyboard was too loud and I didn't want to be the annoying colleague who makes so much noise lmao. My last switch purchases were silent tactile (Outemu silent lemon) and silent linear (Akko haze pink) - maybe there are better switches out there but damn were they life-changing. Appreciate the newbie-friendly advice as always (even though I've been into this hobby for nearly 4 years now)

@lobsterorca4539 2 месяца назад

Hi Hipyo, I am looking to buy a keyboard for under a hundred dollars (barebones or prebuilt I don't really mind) then I will buy switches and keycpas to build it out my self. If I want a decent quality aluminum board which has lots of potential for modding and improvement, what would you suggest? (Currently looking at SK71 or Monsgeek M1)

@jessieray6129 2 месяца назад

Okay, so given this I have a silly question. I have a Redragon K552 (because it was cheap, duh) with brown switches which I then modded the stabs and lubed the switches in and was a lot happier with the sound, but I do share an office with two other guys and I am rather rough when typing. Are there any tactile silent switches that work with these boards that you would recommend? And are the switches even what is going to let me achieve a quieter board or should I be thinking more about foam and keycaps? I will say that I have tried gaskets dampeners on the keycaps and I hate them, I can't stand how squishy everything feels with them on.

@SirTropical776 Месяц назад

I actually was on the fence when it came to building my own keyboard but I actually followed through after watching this video. I went really well but I would not recommend getting the gem80 at this moment because out the box it came with some issues like keys not registering and spacebar double-clicking which were both not solved with a firmware update, apparently this is a common issue. Besides those issues with the gem80 the wuque silent tactile switches work perfectly and I would recommend getting them.

@ron_sr1218 Месяц назад

would you have any other recommendation for a nice keyboard? im really looking around and there are so many options and so many youtubers are sponsored so im skeptical on taking their word. I like Linear non tectile switches and around the 200$ price point

I just got a Gem80 to build for my girlfriend and ooooooo boy this thing sounds lovely right out of the box with the mint switches. I got the lilac one, which pairs perfectly with the PolyCaps Hippo set (her favorite animal, luckily!). I am so jealous as her keyboard now sounds and feels much better than mine. I think I might get my own in the Cosmic Mocha color to match with your Coffee Shop keys!

When I tried to put new switches into it, i noticed that instead of having holes for pins, it just has one big hole in the middle and 2 sensors next to it. Can someone tell me at least what these type of keyboards/ switches are called so that I can buy some that go into this keyboard.

Ok sure you have been asked many times but if you were to buy a wireless tkl off the shelf or amazon whatever that you can mod if you wish but are fairly still satisfied with its current state what keyboard would that be?
