Thx
Did you end up trying out the keyclack silencing pads at all? I need to install mine, but I haven’t heard anyone talk about their experience with them.
I actually love BKE Redux Lights, but man, they make the board loud as hell.
Ugh. Too many.
- I tried to transfer my QFR into an aluminum case I bought off tao bao and I dont know if it’s the daughter board or if I somehow shorted out the PCB while switching it out, but the board no longer functions.
- Tried to dome-swap my Plum75 Bluetooth. Ended up writing a long post on both keep KeebTalk AND R/mk (you can find it if you search “let the buyer be ware”) about how that disaster went. After 10+ tries opening and reclosing the case, all the switches still don’t work and now the board turns off and on sporadically.
- Bought a click-modded ALPS custom off r/mechmarket and swapped the Poker case it came with to a 5 degree aluminum case, but in taking the keycaps off, the stabs kept popping out and I’m not sure if the spacebar is fully in place.
Some days I just want to sell all my shit and stick to using OEMs.
I tried but got frustrated. 1 pad didn’t have a lot of effect and they are a pain in the ass to install. 2 pads reduced travel too much for my liking.
I’ve always been interested in Fosen housings. they seem interesting.
All the times i didn’t use 3204.
Not sure if this is a “mod” but I tried GMK form factor and realized that I just can’t get used to it.
I’m just too stuck on uniform sets.
Gonna be selling GMK Laser now because of it.
You won’t even keep it as a display piece?? I call dibs if you’re trying to offload them
Yea if I’ve been trying to only keep things that are giving me value of some sort. GMK laser is cool but I think I just got roped in by the hype.
Was there still a tactile event? I’ve always been to shy to use clicky switches and I want silent clicks (heavy tactile). I love my lubed jailhouse blues.
Yes, there was still a tactile event once the lube worked it’s way into the click jackets & stopped them from clicking. Although it had a very disjointed feel to it since the click jacket still moved some. I would say j-spacers or some form of spacer to hold the click jackets into place is necessary for what you’re looking for.
I wanted to try out Fosen Aquamarines also, but I remember hearing they made some change to the housings that made them a pain to work with & then they kinda disappeared. Other than the odd person selling them second hand every long once & awhile I haven’t heard anything about Fosens in a long time now.
I have like one in a switch tester. Didn’t seem like anything special
RAMA Heat Shrink Mod for stabilizers.
Super fidgety to get right, and even when you do it just kind of feels odd. At some point I need to go and remove it from the two boards I tested it with.
I’m coming around to that view…it worked wonders on a Tofu HHKB with GMK stabs, but it seems to be really finicky with Zeal stabs, and I’m going to have to take two boards apart to remove it and do a post-mortem to understand better what the issue is. I suspect different housing tolerances, but don’t really know at this point. Annoying, since I really hoped this was going to be the answer for upstroke noise. Sigh.
