What is on your desk today?

That sounds like the way Aqua Kings, Tecsee Ice Candy, and the new HG Clear Linear Switches feel. I think it’s tight tolerances and stick slip combined on these switches that just make them feel off. I love the sound of Ice Candy and HG Clear Linears, but the sluggish feel can be offputting. Makes me question how much I will put up with for good sound. Ha.

Ok, I am not crazy then :wink:

I do love the bassy sound they make, and have to admit that I’m getting used to the stick slip phenomenom … until I go back to work tomorrow and type on my Manta75 with Gateron Inks :wink:

I forgot to mention the new KeyGeek Raw switches as well. They have this tight feel too, especially when you press near the top of the key. You do get used to it, but it’s a bit refreshing to go back to switches without it after a while. I wonder if these switches with tighter tolerances would benefit from an old-is-new-again design of a curved PCB/plate.

Today, I’ve very happy to have a working M65-A on my desk. Special thanks to @Rico with his Phoenix 01 project.

Is that a default color for realforce? Or did you paint that? Looks great! Topre is one of those things that I have been meaning to get back into. MX stems seem easy to get, and most board seem to have re-mapping software now too.

Back to this stiff boy. I totally appreciate the ingenuity of the M60-A when it first landed, but it’s amazing how it more represents the state of custom keyboards at a specific time. Going to this after a week playing with Salvation is… jarring. Still, it sure looks pretty!

It’s a 91u case that I painted gray. Definitely turned out really well haha. And yeah topre is very good now, with the custom PCBs from Cip, remapping is possible which is great.

Where do you get those classic clear cables?

That’s a Lindy cable with USB-C. I’m pretty sure I found this one on Amazon.

Serious setup! 10/10

Put EPBT Soju on my Rosalina. Colors are nice, but the alphas are uncharacteristically blurry and fat.

Then again I was typing on SP Dye Sub earlier, so I may just be biased on quality. But I swear EPBT used to be better than this.

Love my thermals. After such a long wait (over 2 years) I’m so happy. They were easy to put together, feel and sound fantastic and the build quality is incredible.

I still have a rose to build too :blush:

Put NK Cherry Ember back on the Brutal v2 and finally found an accents configuration that works for me. Hadn’t put PBT back on this since leaf and spring lubing the CJs, and it sounds extremely crisp now.

Trying out GMK Iceberg for the first time on my U80. I likey. Sorry for the harsh lighting. My hue bulbs reset to full brightness after the storm flashed the power and I’m too lazy to open the app up. :rofl: Also, it should be a bit more green than represented here.

Here, I did some color correction on this one. This one is pretty much color accurate. I’m really like the PS Express app for my phone. It’s much easier to do quick color edits.

Nice, what keyboard is that?
