They have the sprue mark on the outside facing away from you, quickest way to figure out the rotation of them
Ah yes! Good idea. So that confirms I have them on correctly.
On sale!
Okay, now I have this grand idea of connecting 68 of these guys to 17 USB hubs…
Unless im thinking about your idea wrong, you could get just one and use the IR receiver to “emulate” a bigger keyboard. Given you have an IR remote with enough buttons.
Some switch goodness today.
- Alps SKBM Black Clicky (i assume, since they are clicky. haven’t opened it yet, though.) (opened them up, yup, SKBM)
Alps SKBM Black Click - Deskthority wiki - Alps SKBM Grey Clicky (as above) (opened, also SKBM)
Alps SKBM Grey - Deskthority wiki - Type T8 Amber (again, not opened up yet). Surprisingly Smooth, but quite wobbly and pingy, as the rest of the Alps.
alps.tw Type T8 - Deskthority wiki - Sarokeys BCP. Very little wobble, very smooth and the sound is quite Good. These were made by BSUN, if i remember correctly, so that makes sense. BSUN is just top tier.
- Gateron KS-3 Black. I’m still not sure if they are actually real Gaterons of Counterfeit. I have never seen a KS-3 with these molds.
- SP-Star Pink top housings. Nylon, if i remember right. They were sold separately, not sure why, but i impulse bought them for franken switching.
- “UPE” glittery yellow tactile Stems. They do look similar, but are not Tecsee Sapphire Stems. No Idea if they are even UPE or not, but with my past experiences of those Taobao/Xianyu/Ali sellers who are selling separate Stems, they are probably just POM.
Are the blank keycaps actually doubleshot? Or just solid in one color?
Not sure. Reminds me of the JTK red riot caps that I own. They didn’t actually have blanks so they double shot the same color. Can’t tell though.
i just got to try some HSA thanks to benefactor @mwb how is mtnu typing wise?
wait woah, seeing a more raw real life pic of the wood makes me like this board way more than I initially felt about this boards aesthetics.
I would wager a bet that the wooden accent is even nicer than a wooden toilet.
I’ve never told you, but I love your user name. I should have made my username carpeted-bathroom
Heyy I appreciate the compliment, I too love my unique username
As for that bet, you might need a couple more of those wooden top accents to beat my Wooden Toilet Throne. My motto I tell everyone who asks is “I’m 100% splinter free guaranteed or your money back”
My goal in life is to one day be able to purchase and own this proudly
I know you wanted the green & from the pics I saw that’s what I would’ve wanted too. Although now seeing your pics of the black one with walnut makes me think that was the move all along! Very nice, can’t wait to see what you do with it & now you ain’t tied to a theme so much as you would’ve been with the green one!
Obviously, just my opinion, but MTNU is a fantastic profile. It has everything that makes MT3 great, but at a more comfortable Cherry height. Sound isn’t quite as deep as MT3 (not surprising), but it still has a lovely lower-pitched tone. In my book, HSA and MTNU are tied for my favorite keycap profile now.
Gorgeous board! I’d love to splurge on the white/oak top with copper bottom but I’m sure the pricing on that variant is
CHERRY MX ORANGE MX2A-LC3W
CHERRY MX PURPLE MX2A-V1NW
TTC Venus Switch
JERRZI Cloud Mist
JERRZI Rainbow
Jerrzi Smoke blue switch
First look is with Euler
Built with plate and case foam and the included force break pads. Sarokeys x Geon BCP switches.
Also my first time building with the new Typeplus stabilizers. Man, they took me significantly longer to assemble, but they do perform well. I feel like I might feel a slight friction going on with the space bar, but it could be the switch. I’ll keep testing them out.
whose R2 ? (QWERTY) row is lower, HSA or MTNU? I am finding that row p tall on HSA (and I am mostly on OEM Topre which I think could be at or shorter than Cherry? idk)
oof that looks so good - great keycap choice! The Encore was completely off my radar.
