Reply to comment by major_goldie in I bluetoothed an m0110 I drunk purchased. by michaelthatsit

TLDR: Adafruit Feather 32u4 bluefruit LE + a 10000 mAh battery. Someone wrote a 32u4 QMK firmware for it. I also added Vial support! I’ll clean it up and PR it to Vial.

Only thing I wish it had was the ability to switch between Bluetooth connections. But QMK has pretty limited support. You can toggle between USB and BT tho. Which is sick.

More and more hotswap boards are able to have both stepped and regular caps options using a flipped switch orientation.

I don't think I've seen a single keycap set that didn't come with a stepped caps key unless it was as cut-down set meant to be sold with a specific keyboard or a very cheap set.

I'm really enjoying them! Sometimes the bump of other tactile switches makes me feel like the actuations of are kind of "inaccurate" if that makes sense, but I really haven't had that issue with these and in general they feel really good. Probably my fav switches I've tried so far tbh, I went for the pre-lubed version and I have no hang-ups with having spent a little more for that.

Reply to Glorious Lynx lubed switches too mushy by gobstopp

The pre-lubed Lynx switches use G-Lube which is slightly thicker than Krytox 205g0 (the quintessential switch lube) and factory lube jobs usually have some issues or inconsistencies. I personally really enjoy the pre-lubed Lynxes. It could be that you simply prefer tactile switches to get some feedback upon key press.

I suggest trying Boba U4T (strong tactile) or Invokeys Blueberry Chiffon (gentle tactile), or if you want to try another linear check out the Gateron Milky Yellow Pro.

Reply to My first PBTfans keycap set, great set by Money-Tooth-9784

Hey, nice build. Quick question tho, are PBTfans one of the best quality PBT keycaps you can get these days? Heard some good things about them recently, but havent been in touch with the community for awhile. And last i left, CRP and 21kb were the only ones I knew of that made good PBT keycaps.
