I have a dark green Frog TKL (I think it’s called gable green or something), and I’ve been looking at GMK Fox - just struggling to justify that crazy price.

the board sounds nice and poppy for me, but banana splits and a pc plate is bound to be higher pitched so your mileage may vary. i found the foams were all stick together and 2 of the foams had imprints of the other and just seemed a bit poor quality and weird. all in all minor nitpick tho, all in all id say it’s def worth it

I just looked at it. I'd rather use a makeup brush and some micro fiber if I didn't already run that In the form of non-alcohol baby wipes. Lint roller seems still necessary for less frequent use though

I will look into this. Would it not damage the surface of the pad? I want to keep the surface just right. I have a stupid light mouse at 23 grams and everything lol

I've heard Lint rollers leave tiny glue particles that make dirt accumulate faster. There's a type of stiff brush called an upholstery brush that some say works better.

I got a huntsman TKL for around $5 at a thrift store too! Pretty cool keyboard, but the actuation is way too dang high. Given how smooth the linear switch is, I kept making mistakes and hitting the g key on accident, wasting grenades in Wolfenstein.

That's rad! My first mechanical keyboard was also $15 at a goodwill. The current one I use I picked up pretty cheap on marketplace. No need to drop a ton of cash to enjoy mechanical keyboard goodness if you are patient and know where to look!
