If you are a fan of tactile switches but silent, A LOT of people love Boba U4 switches. Wish you plenty of fun with your new keyboard!

Because the typography adds to a good aesthetic IMO.

Reply to white zoom65 with gmk pulse by Randommx5
This is the first keyboard I ever built. It was a fun project. Waiting for everything to arrive sucked though. I went with alpacas for my switches. I filmed and lubed them myself. Lubing was easy. I probably won't ever film switches again. That was way to tedious. Overall I am super happy and it sounds and feels miles above my old anne pro 2.

OEM keycaps have always been easier for my thin fingers. The Dye-Sub PBT material is phenomenal. A mix between flat matte and slight grain.

They’re very soft to touch, not sure how to explain it. But I love them. Didn’t want to annoy my coworkers at work with anything loud. I’m definitely going to try some others though!

Serious question:
I have a cheap board with Otemu blues that I used a few years ago when I had an office job. Got a new job and will be back in an office half the time. The switches are a bit scratchy and have a metallic ping. What can I do to improve the experience?

Looks like she's using plenty of control

Shave the bump with a razor blade if you hate clicks. And lube. You’ll have an interesting switch. I’m still not sure how to feel about it though .

It has Alpaca silent linear switches filmed and lubed with krytox 205g0 along with lubed durock stabs. I needed a new keyboard for the office, so I opted for silence. And boy is it quiet!

Looks beautiful. How do you like box silent brown switches? Not a lot of people decide to take those so i wonder how you like em. Cheers

If you don't mind a condensed or cut down navigation cluster; looking at an 1800 / 96% layout board might give you more options. The Keychron boards have a layer switch on the back for Windows and Mac layouts but any board with VIA support, you can program a separate layout for your Mac and Windows and quickly switch between them with a key press. I have a Q6 at work for the occasional numpad use and I like it.

Do you have a before / after example? What type of lube is that?
