Can you show us?
I only encountered the BAE on the SteelSeries 6gv2 and it looked like this.
Here you go

Man. I need to get a set now! Do you use it with 2 switches like normal or do you take the spring out of the pipe key switch?
Ooh I hadn’t thought of removing the spring, definitely going to have to try when I get the chance. So far I’ve only used it with 2 linear switches, which does affect the feel as you expect, I guess will vary greatly depending on the switches though!
(Edit) ok very quickly tried the springless pipe key with stem still in and it works pretty well!![]()
Cool. And yeah, I would go for a linear switch with no or VERY light spring on pipe.
The 6gv2 I had just had a hole for that plunger to slide in.
Have you built the Corsa yet? Wanna see the way people are using the screen!
I haven’t yet. It’s the next thing I plan to build. Just been busy.
I would eaven go so far and remove the leaf to. ![]()
Or the legs on the stem.
Edit:
There is something special with brand new SP SA caps! ![]()
The shrink sealing is nice!
I like it because it’s minimal waste and keeps the caps unscratched. But holy crap is it hard to unpackage. Seems strange but they are a pain to open.
Dude, I am so tempted to snag one of these 8ks, especially after looking at your pics! How do you like JC Studio? The desko + mint extension looks fantastic.
The 8k would be a worthy addition to your collection, NGL. The layout is really growing on me, I’m almost ready to call it my favorite layout but there is a few I haven’t had extended time with yet. Like FRL TKLs & compact 1800s. The JC studios caps are actually awesome! Just as thick as any other top tier PBT caps, have a nice sound you’d expect from good PBT, no warped keys at all even the 7u was straight as an arrow, & the dyesub work is pretty good too. For the price you really can’t beat them IMHO (Maybe 21Kb, but they are about $20 more expensive on a set so…)! I’m sure there is some things we could nitpick the JC Studios sets for if you look over them hard enough. Although at $40 for a full set I’m willing to adjust my standards accordingly.
Yes, JC Studios is insane value. I actually received the same set that you did (bought it for a friend), and it was great.
I was kind of on the fence about Desko Black when CRP was running it, but for 1/3rd the price it is an easy sell.
There’s nothing really wrong with the keycaps, they just have less kitting and less ivory-like surfaces than CRP.
Switch day
Trash switches (Haimu linear) from CBKBD, XCJZ mustard green and Lucy switches (both by LICHICX I think?) from AliExpress. Ordered 2 weeks apart and arrived on the same day. ![]()
So far super happy with all 3
I put the Lucy’s in my stickerbomb’d IDABAO ID42 and I have to say, silent switches aren’t my first choice, but feel and sound great in that little package.
