Did you use the tape mod under the pcb . Or the foam mod under the pcb and then the tape mod over the foam . This is one of the videos that got me all confused as he uses both . Thought we were suppose to use only one type of mod.

I wait impatiently for mine to arrive, very impatiently

Hi, it's the KZ EDX Pro.

The keycaps do not have to be explicitly sold under the pretense of being 'cyberpunk'. If the colors at least invoke cyberpunk vibes it could be enough for me.

Also, they don't have to be nice, well built, or even sold under an actual brand name.

No name keycaps are completely fine.

It's kinda hard to find themed shine through keycaps, let alone a cyberpunk themed set. Although not explicitly cyberpunk, I think some of the pbt fans' "see through" keycaps are kinda worth considering, though they are quite literally double the price. otherwise, possibly something like borderlit keycaps might look good as a cyberpunk-y set

Edit: you also could just go for like just yellow or blue themed caps, such as these ymdk caps

That is yours, yes 😃

That may or may not be mine :)

I know, that post reminded me to ask about keycaps.
Anyway, I've looked at that set before, it is not backlit.

haha, try it out when you can!

Well, I’m glad you found some you like! Bobagums are nothing if not silent so I’m sure your classmates appreciate it.

If you filter by "New Posts" and scroll down, you'll see someone posted their cyberpunk board around 3 hours before this post.

I tried the Cherry MX Silent Reds and really hated them right away. They just made typing feel...gross. I also tried the Zeal Zilents. They were OK, but the price turned me away. Overall, I like the Gazzew Bobagum Silent Linears—but sometimes want to try others, just for fun.

I hope you don’t mind me asking, how does the feel compare to the other silents you’ve tried? I settled on Bobagums immediately so I have no idea what other silents are like.

I think it’s safe to say that broken-in switches feel better than non broken-in switches. Are they better than oil kings or switch xxxx? That’s subjective or personal. Are they better than lubed? Also subjective. It may just be one of those things you have to try to actually know which means buying some. Personally, me as a hobbyist I just like to try everything. I find it fun. I can certainly tell the difference between one switch that is stock, broken-in or lubed. Also, Cherry MX is the grail for some.

Gotta say that you picked an absolute banger of a keyboard.

Never been a fan of the TrackPoint but this is an absoutely beautiful piece of technology that I'd be happy to have on my desk.

BTW why so many MacBooks over on the right?

The NK87 is fine, but $150 is the price it should normally be. I bought one with the intention of it being my beat-up board-- to test switches on, for my kid and wife to use, and whatnot. That way I wouldn't beat up my nicer keyboards. I don't really use it often but it does look fantastic with the DCX Cyber keycaps (I got the pink boar). The finish is excellent and feels like it could take a beating.

I'm not a fan of plastic keyboards so I wouldn't personally choose the Tiger Lite in this instance, but as others have stated and based on reviews it would probably be the better choice if you don't already own many nice boards. If you're looking into another board maybe consider the QK80. It's around the same price and checks a lot of the boxes many newer keyboard enthusiasts are looking for in a budget board.

Black keyboard rules!

lmao, I remember seeing these posts of keyboards with a city in the background and I thought it kind of just became a trend until I checked your profile just now. Love the idea, and I love the photo! I kind of wanna do something similar probably when I'm on break from school lol

It is but don’t discredit the NK87. It’s still one of the best sounding budget TKLs on the market. It’s more of a “the Tiger 80 Lite is incredible and less the NK87 is mediocre”, ya know?

I’ve lubed Tactiles with all different thicknesses of lube and truthfully, as long as you don’t touch the legs, lubing them with 205g0 won’t affect the tactility.

well, I suppose that's at least an improvement over the standard layout then, right? Sounds like you found a way to make your computing more manageable for the day-to-day.

Wtf why so much text, good build tho
