I prefer Box Whites personally, but the Jades are really good as well.

In the best way possible this is the most arch user build I've ever seen. Well done

I really loving the board for the price I paid (75usd). It's got everything that the more premium keyboards have except pretty metal weights. Quality is great except the knob but it's because of local version QC issues, if you're getting international then there's nothing to worry about. If there's one thing I don't really like, it's the PC plate. Not really a fan of flexy vibrating plates that my fingers feel when I'm bottoming out switches (I don't put any foam or tape mods in my build, only force break mod). Just ordered the alu plate so am looking forward to that! Trying to achieve the high pitch clack sound on this budget board, hope it works out.

​

Oh as for switches, I tried KTT Kang Whites with just IXPE switch pad and no other mods. It sounded like snooker balls clacking and it was a treat to hear but I got bored of it. Now I'm using Jwk black v2s lubed but they feel a little bit too heavy for me, I think I messed up by lubing the stem poles. I lubed them lightly but for some reason the switches definitely feel heavier now.

Oh! Fingers crossed then!

What the literal fuck? Every fucking set of caps I've bought list the fucking row type for every key. Not once have I had to "zoom in and study every photo". And to boot I run a Moonlander so good fucking luck buying a single set. Bitter fuck, running a Minecraft server isn't running your own stuff.

Edit: actually from your post history I gather Reddit runs your shit for you. I applaud telling OP not to feel bad, as they shouldn't, but seriously what the fuck is the rest of that garbage.

Just got a DHL push message from Tarpit bvba. When Googleling then it looks like it is MyKeyboard. So it could be on its way! 😎

The silicone is very thin overall. Less 3mm. The PCB isn't being squished. It's just enough to eliminate the ping I was hearing.

Red. I had Mine with browns. Didnt like them

It actually looks super clean. I was interested in this board but the name Monsgeek was questionable lol. How do you like the board so far? What switches are yo using?

Hey thanks!

Oh dang, yeah trying to hand sand off ano is a mad task as you don't know how thick the layer is. Just make sure you don't leave the parts in caustic soda for too long as it eats the metal.

Hopefully getting some this Christmas :)

Very nice.

Red. More people use the Reds

As you've casual gaming in there I'd lean, just slightly, toward the Reds. Red being Linear feeling, Brown being Tactile; tactile as in there's a noticeable bump feeling when pressing down on a key, Linear hasn't the bump feeling.

The real decision maker is, you guessed it, do you want a bump feeling when pressing down keys?

Look into ALPS/Matias switches; significantly better design for tactiles vs MX or any MX clones.

Looks pretty cool.

I just switched away from a board which I’d initially started hand sanding with the goal of polishing. I bailed after like the sixth hour of sanding and sent it off to be plated. I’ll definitely be using your method if I ever decide to go down the raw metal finish route again though!

Happy to help! Nah I like the rough matte look and don't mind getting a patina. Might polish if I ever do get bored of the look though!

Sweet, thanks! You seal it afterward?

Dip the metal parts into a sodium hydroxide solution. I used a caustic soda drain cleaner but you can use oven cleaner as well. Took about 1-2 minutes to see the bare metal, a few more minutes to strip completely clean. 5 minutes tops in total I think 😁

Damn you went straight to boss lvl

What was the process for stripping the ano?
