What is on your desk today?

Thanks bud. Honestly, not really. I type with the pads of my fingers versus the tips, so I can sort of feel the keycaps stick to them. They have zero texture and are incredibly smooth, so when my fingers press down the pads make a seal of sorts with the top of the keycap – something akin to placing a wet hand on clean window glass. No matter how many times I wash my hands, they still feel sticky using this board. :rofl:

As far as sound goes, they’re great and remind me of DCS all the way.

Wow. There’s transparent keycaps and then there’s these - they’re like tinted windows! I love how clearly visible the switches are.

I am interested to see how durable the legends are. If the seal is as good as they’re making it out to be, I might have to add these to my collection…

That makes sense about the feel. SA feels that way to me a bit. Slightly sticky even though smooth.

Piano keys. Plastic white piano keys you’d find on a kids electric keyboard. After a bit of typing, this is exactly what comes to mind.

I picked up the NK65 Olivia Edition that NovelKeys was selling for $99 during the Black Friday sales. Overall, I’d say it’s a fantastic board for that price, considering it comes with switches and keycaps (and a case/cable). It’s not my usual style, but I think it looks very nice. I definitely wouldn’t have bought it for $250, but it’s certainly not bad even at that price.

The stabilizers are “lubed” but the little blob of lube they put on at the factory doesn’t seem to actually accomplish anything, so I did have to fix that.

My only real complaint is that the default layout for the keys on the right side has Del and Fn at the top and bottom, while I prefer having Home and End there. Obviously you can reprogram it with Via, and I have, but they don’t really supply any alternate keys aside from alternate color Esc, Enter, Arrows, etc. Does anyone have any DSS Olivia caps that they’re not using? :smiley:

I think that’s highly subjective. I really like the feel of them, also with SA.

What case and colorway is that again? I remember seeing it posted elsewhere in a thread.

Had these Penyus in my Sat75, but they feel and sound much better in this board. One of my favorite switches forsure! Need to grab some more haha
