Something I like to do to make those silent (i.e., boba u4, zilents, etc., PBT keycaps, and a ton of foam) keyboards a little more satisfying to type on: if you replace your stabilized keys with gateron black inks (or another of the quieter but not silenced linear switches) you’ll get a little bit of that poppy “rain hitting the roof above you” sound, but not often enough for the keyboard to be noticeably louder to those around you (unless you’re spamming backspace/enter/spacebar a lot). Also sometimes spacebars can get loud on the upstroke with tactile switches even if the switch itself is silent (idk why that happens, maybe I’m doing something wrong), so the black inks can even be quieter there while adding a deeper thockier sound.

If you want something less mushy, check out the silent switches manufactured by Haimu: Heartbeat, Whisper, WS Silent Linear/Tactile. They have a flex cut on the stem and the housing has holes to kill sound.

Love the set previews, when it came to choosing I compared it to GMK Dualshot (PS2) and GMK DMG3 (GameBoy) and this is definitely my favourite nostalgia set of them all

CLICK CLICK, MOFO!

Thank you!

Branch out. Get a NiZ or Topre (silenced) board

Read the build guide before you follow through! Just in case!

I've always liked this board; you just convinced me to buy it. Thanks!

Not brown!

I rock Durock Silent Shrimps at work and Haimu Silent Whispers at home. The whispers are less silent but use a unique silent mechanism that doesn’t use silicone and has a more traditional feel

Yeah gaming is not ideal, but I played the last few games with a gamepad anyway. Ans I still have the Preonic if I need it.

nice, I love I dead of the plank, just can't game without more keys available :)

I assembled mine 3 days ago and it’s pretty nice! I had fun building it honestly and it sounds great. Needed to use some dielectric grease to hit the stabs because for whatever reason my kit didnt include lube

I've been using Aliaz Silents for the last couple months. Stupid quiet, no complaints

I think this is my next board

Doesn't it?

I ordered my "last keyboard" last week in a final attempt to endgame! :-D

Generally Kailh box jades are accepted as the best clicky switch. I believe Boba U4ts are mega tactile but have no click mechanism.

That is exactly true and also my experience.

I have my old keeb with gateron browns at work.

I have a Planck and Preonic, but I'm so used to the planck that the extra row on Preonic bothers me. For a while I had the Planck at work and Preonic (with blank caps) at home, but now I work from home and use the Planck all the time, or the laptop keyboard if I go to the office occasionally.

Looks amazing. Upside-down spacebar gang 💪🤟🥓✨

Same, no one ever complains about my U4's. Meanwhile everyone hates my colleague who uses Gateron Reds in the same board.

Wait I don’t get it lol. I wfh and use mx browns. What’s the joke here. How am I missing this 😭😭
