HOLY COW, this combo looks incredible. The teal matches really well. You’ve really pulled off that retro look you are going for. Stunning.
this is the only man that can carry a monolith with a single hand.
can’t wait to get this <3
Thanks! That helped me make my decision. I think I’m gonna go w/ the enigma gray.
No problems. Look forward to seeing what that looks like when you get it. I have my blue/grey on Aperture but think Enigma grey would look great as well.
@norbauer This case is an absolute masterpiece. The wait was painful, but oh so worth it. Thank you!
So I ended up purchasing a set of these if anyone is looking to get an angle more akin to the original max angle of the FC660C. Go to Amazon and search for: Adhesive Door Knob Bumper Pads- 18 PCS Small Clear Wall Protector Door Stopper Rubber Feet for Door Handle Cabinet Headboard Refrigerator Sound Dampening and 20 PCS Bumper Pads
Unfortunately no links on Keebtalk …
And no, I’m not remotely affiliated with them. Just that it worked and now this board is perfect.
anyone know where to get those nice plastic key covers?
Search for username “Widebasket” on EBay. That’s where I found mine, and it looks like he still has some in stock
Here is a typing test for anyone interested. These are 55g Realforce domes, but no lubing or silencing was done. The signature topre “THOCK” is twice as deep and satisfying with this case.
Is that Sorbothane?
Wow, such a punchy thock with those 55g domes.
I’ve had my board silenced for some time now out of respect for my coworkers, and I have BKE heavy domes installed now. I’ve been curious to see what this thing sounds like without silencing but I’ll have to wait until I’m not going to tick off my entire office in doing so.
Thanks for the preview, though. I’m excited to give it a try sometime.
Haha yeah, I would definitely have to silence mine to use it anywhere but my home office, but i’d be interested to hear what yours sounds like as well! I’ve actually never heard BKE heavies in action before.
Happy to oblige.
That’s what everything currently sounds like since being installed into the Heavy-6 but the playlist covers my board’s entire modding history so I can keep track of how things change.
Oh damn… We’re gonna need a recording of setting that thing down on your desk. haha
It’s extremely heavy! The name is fitting. Absolutely requires both hands to move.
Yeah, my tactical is heavy enough and setting it down is probably one of my favourite moments in using it now. But that… That thing is a beast.
My favorite part is definitely how soft and smooth the PVD coating is. It feels amazing, my hands just glide on top of it much more easily than anodization.
Dude, that sounds SO damn satisfying! Like a group of horses walking on a dirt path.
That makes me want to silence the upstroke sound on my build someday. I really only notice the somewhat sharp, clacky sound on my stabilized keys, but I think it’s enough to warrant a future mod.
Have you noticed any negative side effects from silencing? Tactility loss, sticky keys, etc.?
