Pretty good mail day:
sure hope you show these off on twitch/YT
I think thatâs a mass drop thing, in the first mt3 dev/tty round I got a lot of the novelties and extras kits and tons of the keys came individually in baggies, and they were really shitty baggies, like the ones where like they split when you open them a lot of the time. I was so annoyed it was such a waste of plastic
Pretty cool man !
Love the old school design language.
Thanks @badnewsblair! The dude I ordered it from has a website www.MechFashion.com where you can customize your own sleeve. He was super friendly and I think it was very reasonably priced. I canât recommend it enough!
Can confirm. Piotr is a good guy who makes quality products for reasonable prices. I have a custom sleeve that matches my /dev/tty Triumph.
Where, how!? You lucky dog you, Iâm drooling on these pics LOL!
Always on the prowl looking at Taobao, ebay, and many other sources
Keychron optical linears to replace the clickys mine came with. (Look at that clicky lurking back there)
Look ma no pins!
howâs the stability of optical linears? Any wobble?
Will report back tomorrow
ROMA TR-4000 4mm Mechanical Charcoal Pencil - AKA âSwitch Pickerâ / âStem Holderâ
Sweet! I actually forgot I ordered this. If youâre wondering, it costs about the same to buy as a pencil - but youâre a bit more likely to find it in stock. And hey, mine came with a ton of 4mm charcoal, which I didnât know until it arrived today. Bonus!
Thanks to @CosmicKira and a couple other folks I canât recall at the moment for making me aware of these.
Promised report on optical reds.
Got the optical linears put on the keychron board. They sit pretty tight in the plate. The plate is thick (to me), and has 1 million screws to keep it stable. Not really. I think I counted 12 screws - so many. Which makes sense if thatâs all thatâs holding the switches. So it feels like they designed for that. I donât notice any negative wiggle when typing.
I almost forgot which direction to mount them Because the bottom of the switch is virtually flat, so thatâs something to think about.
The keys actually feel really light, but that also makes me bottom out pretty hard. Even my wife said they bottom out hard. Thatâs all I got. But Iâm going to try it for a few days and give it a chance.
well you can open them up and spring swap, right? Donât they just take standard mx springs?
looks like a kailh box opener would get them. I find it just as easy or even easier to use a slim flat tweezer or knife.
Yes, I actually got some springs. I might do that.
Can I ask what keyboard (and colour) this is?
Love the colour combination youâve got here.
Thank you for the information !
Just ordered one from AliExpress
