Don't get me wrong. I completely understand what you mean, and I think you're right with the fact that we should support people in the community. However not everyone is able to spend that much on a set, and blaming on people who buy clones cuz they cannot afford anything better is quite a nasty behaviour.

The idea here was to fit the functionality of an entire 108 into something much smaller (and ortho)...

I just load up a thin brush and apply by hand! I do believe a store out there does have syringes of XHT-BDZ, but I've not found the need to order them.

Actual Zealios V2? (Not sure it makes a difference but worth checking)

I'm guessing it's a WoB base kit + SP SA grab bags (or just grab bags)?

" Hell nah. That's not the way."

Oh wait, you are right, stealing from members of this community is the way.

"If you care so much about the community go contribute on some open source project such as the crkbd, lily58, etc."

I have no interest in those projects, so no.

" Otherwise you're just an asshole blaming on people who just want to enjoy the same hobby as you but cannot afford to pay the same price. "

Projection much? You are the one doing an asshole thing, openly stealing from people in this community and encouraging it.

This hobby is not free. In fact, it is typically quite expensive. These are niche products that are run in very small batches only supported by the community. I can tell you are quite new to the hobby so instead of complaining that everything is so expensive and supporting people that steal from people in the hobby, be happy that people in this hobby are trying to bring low cost options that are available for everyone. You think there was a QK65 when I started this hobby? No. It was a Tofu that cost $300+ dollars that was a pretty weak tray mount. To be clear, I am happy that people have options now and could care less if everyone owned every keeb and keycap set I owned because who cares I like them. But sure, don't support the people of this community, instead buy from the Chinese manufacture that stole their IP, offers you are subpar product and then disincentives vendors that are trying to support the community the right way. In case you didn't know, the Olivia set on that board is licensed because Olivia didn't like that her keycap sets were being flipped for so much on the aftermarket. But yeah, go ahead and spit in her face and all of the designers of this hobby.

What layout is this?

is this new? looks interesting and stylish but it's not as addictive as monkeytype

When you plug the butt with bdz, do you mean you load it into a syringe? Is there any special trick to getting bdz in a syringe? It looks like it would be too thick to both load and inject. Never worked with it though, but I've been wanting to try. Especially if it's injectable.

I had keyboarding in middle school. I loved it and was doing well, but halfway through I got a fracture in one of my finger bones and couldn't continue the class. They still gave me credit so I didn't have to take it again (it was mandatory) and I had to take it again in high school because I actually wanted to learn how to touch type.

I had to do it because it felt weird when I typed with it right-side up lol

Hell nah. That's not the way. If you care so much about the community go contribute on some open source project such as the crkbd, lily58, etc. Otherwise you're just an asshole blaming on people who just want to enjoy the same hobby as you but cannot afford to pay the same price.

Wow, question removed AND downvotes here. Touchy fucking community eh?

Built two QK65s and I find the included OwlStabs to be quite comparable to Durock V2s. The most notable difference I've found is that the rear gap on the stem is quite small, so "plugging the butt" can be a bit more difficult/messy.
They include small wire "rests" which are a novel idea, but do mind that too much padding (included PE foam layer, etc) WITH the wire rest can add too much upward pressure and friction to the wire, which slows down the key.

Yeah and I think that is the big key. They shouldn't be promoted or discussed. Like I have seen people buy a clone set while they wait for their GMK set and I can respect that. Kind of like ripping a CD you own lol.

LoL. I learned touch typing because I wanted to justify buying a mechanical keyboard.

I'd never buy clones during an open GB or advertise or promote them.

I have to admit to purchasing some in the past few months, purely because it's next to impossible to find good caps with korean legends and GB wasn't an option since I wanted to make a build for someone in time for Christmas. I didn't feel good about it though.

I'm not likely to go for clones in the future, especially not for myself.

Does XDA feel right for gaming? And do they have a softer feel like how they look vs OEM?

I bought a random cheap OEM set to fix up and old board I have that had really worn down ABS... The texture and sound is pretty good, but the corners area almost painfully sharp. I'm looking to build out two new boards, a 80/96/1800/100 main board, and a 60% wireless for other devices... and I'm not really sure which profile(s) to go with.

What keycaps are these?
