Thank you for your input 🙏🏼

I got you! They are coated w/Plasti-Dip and painted with green spray paint to match the aesthetic

Thanks i definitely like it!

Never used a Keychron… I would still go with AKKO, Cool little badge on the back, semi transparent, lol graphic tape mode included. Crazy flex with or w/o the provided foams… it’s a good deal IMO

Hell yea! Thanks I appreciate that.

Yea,made it me self

Lmbo! Lol me trying to lean over the file cabinet and pc and typing looking over my right shoulder would be too three easiest thing I will do today, for sure light work.

My dad (he's an electronics technician) said that the tape won't necessarily ruin the pcb, but it will make the board very sticky if you ever wanted to remove the tape. All masking tape has adhesive and that adhesive will probably end up on the board, but if you're alright with a bit of a residue then go for it.

I would have known. Mean people don’t use the word blasphemy realistically

Gotcha, have you tried using left space as cmd? Everything under the left hand ends up being in roughly the same place as the MacBook keyboard, aside from Fn but it's not like that's used often on the MacBook. I do use mod-tap so I still get to use that key as space, although I see you mentioned you're not a fan of that

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber we're meth heads at some point. There are a few videos of Justin tweaking like crazy while meeting a fan and there's also this gem

Apparently Selena's the enabler and some people are speculating that her Lupus diagnosis is either due to the abuse or related to it at the very least.

Thank you.

Flexibility is not just dependent on the gasket. In fact, it is far more dependent on the plate and the PCB. A half plate made of a very soft material such as polycarbonate or POM with a thin PCB that has flex cuts supported by gaskets barely high enough to prevent the top frame and case from touching will flex fare more than a brass full plate on a thick PCB with no flex cuts and massive gaskets which keep the top frame and case several millimetres apart. The other major point for flexibility is how much room there is in the case for the PCB to flex.

I don't care about any of that. In fact, too much flexibility can be a bit disorienting when trying to type very fast — the OG Portico made me feel like I was typing on jello, which was a very weird sensation (but it did introduce me to gasket mounts and I didn't look back since).

I do care about the sound of the board. I want it to be bass, and not too loud. I don't want it completely muted, just about the same volume as an Apple aluminium keyboard but not that high pitched nonsense you get from that membrane board. For this sound profile I have to necessarily use a board with a plate gasket or a gasketed top mount (e.g. Mode Sonnet) design. I also need to use plenty of sound absorbing material to prevent resonance. Ideally, I want a soldered board so there is no extra "give" between the switch and the PCB like you have in a hotswap.

So, if you ask me what I prefer, I would tell you that I am most excited about solder boards, big brass weights, high density silicon case dampeners, and some type of sound barrier mount system.

To each their own :)

RemindMe! 5h

Haven't encountered it, though I've only ever modded my Q3 this way.

There may be tape where the adhesive is conductive, or that leaves a lot of residue, but with decent masking tape it should be no issue at all.

One of those hybrid players... Buah... Blasphemy!

This is sarcastic

Thanks for your recommendation. I’ve read somewhere that the tape mod has a chance to ruin the pcb with its adhesive or something. Have you encounter anything like that?

Warhammer for sure

Sound test please!!

A joke that went too far

Forcebreak mod to stop the ping and tape mod to make it sound a bit more lively.

Both mods are super easy to perform. All it requires is a bit of masking tape.

Maybe consider changing switches too. I think the Gateron Pros aren't the best when it comes to sound, at least the Gateron Pro Browns my Q3 came with weren't that great. I replaced them with Baby Kangaroos.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I'm pretty sure I totally misunderstood the question. I thought the question was posed as "what things will ruin your life?", but now I realize it was meant as "what are some things that I can do to ruin my life". I had no intention for anyone to carry it out.
