KPrepublic Greek PBT Dye-Sub

got a Rama Canvas in. Helps make the QXP pop a little, compared to the black mat I had.

MightyJabba · February 20, 2019, 11:49pm

The first two photos are a bit warm in tone. Last two are great and finally show off the true color of this set and case.

cijanzen · February 21, 2019, 6:08pm

Just beautiful! @keyboardbelle nice case! @punctuation nice keycaps!

cijanzen · February 21, 2019, 6:40pm

It’s cable time! Copper sleeve for copper iris build from @johnatzap and cream switches! I’ve got to say I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t smell anything but maybe that’s just my cold.

Edit: I just opened the bag of switches again and got a whiff of them! Smells like a building under construction is all I can summarize it to

juaninamilli · February 21, 2019, 7:12pm

Dolchini!!!

pixelpusher · February 21, 2019, 7:18pm

i got my creams today as well. Mine are super stinky. Smells a bit fishy, a bit oily. Pretty nasty.

cijanzen · February 21, 2019, 7:48pm

I was surprised to find that Sprit springs are no less pingy than the stock springs in the switches. I will be lubing them either way but I wonder if there’s actually any benefit to spring swapping in this case. I’ll update my findings once I start lubing them!

pixelpusher · February 21, 2019, 7:55pm

yeah, i already lubed the stock springs. Way too pingy and some of them grindy. I also liked the feel of lightly lubed stems with 3204.

I was hoping to use them stock, but I don’t think they’re any better than than FEI or tangerines as far as feel. They may sound a bit better, but I actually like the feel of the Gateron Ink switches more. Still haven’t found anything that I can use totally stock. I’ve never had springs that didn’t need lube.

Guess I’ve just grown too picky.

cijanzen · February 21, 2019, 7:56pm

Yeah, I was expecting to lube them. Personally I just really like the colour and I suppose it’s neat that they’re all POM. Hoping to powder coat a board this same colour!

TheNamesTy45 · February 22, 2019, 1:24am

Yup, I’m drooling. Shishi is really the only artisan I’ve found that I enjoy the look of so far.

juaninamilli · February 22, 2019, 2:06am

Definitely need lube, but their usually much more consistent in weight compared to some stock springs.
