Sound I can agree with, but with feel it's either they are long pile or they aren't. That's not saying it's bad BTW. What makes linear so attractive is their simplicity

And there’s a bunch of people that have become elitists about calling people elitist and acting like elitists are running around actively trying to keep people out of the hobby. And that’s just simply not the case, no one wants to keep people out of the hobby. The more people in the hobby the more new manufacturers, vendors, designers there will be. This whole “elitist” thing is not an actual case of elitism or gatekeeping it’s just a way for people to put down those they don’t agree with.

You literally have my end game board and caps lol

This place hasn't had a nice vibe ever since Ripser55 stopped posting.

Looks Clean af man! I too wanted buy this shiny Boi but got the RK100 instead cuz it was 55$ and this one was 63. (Idk why it was like that) I think I'll enjoy the extra keys cuz that's the only thing it has that RK84 doesn't but honestly I'll miss the removable skirt. Anyways Let's enjoy our First Mech Keebs, Can't wait to get mine and mod it! :⁠-⁠D

That community is a haven for people that buy rip off counterfeit products. I personally think it’s bad for the hobby.

Doesn’t matter what you do if you aren’t suggesting clones and cheap knock offs or you tell people anything they don’t want to hear you will be called elitist. It’s a hypocritical irony the calling of people elitists has become this whole other group of people that act elitist about being on the side of the average person.

> It appears that you think in a sub with nearly 1.2 million people subscribed to it, that having everyone just ask repetitive questions that someone probably also asked no more than an hour ago is perfectly fine?

You don't have to answer every single question dude. There are 1.2 million users on this sub, and one of them can handle it when it gets too much for you.

You didn’t get your ikki? I got my dreamscape ikki like a year ago!

Which vendors and which sets?

DUDE, as I home barista I absolutely LOVE these keycaps. But let me guess: no ISO-CH kit?

Does this board seem tall? Would you need a wrist rest to use it? Curious as I’ve been eyeing one. I have a KBD67 Mark II PVD now.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This is a lot of the reason why people are dicks to people asking questions. 1 they aren’t posting in the right place and 2 it’s something they have seen 1000 times and are sick of answering.

Lol, this sub has changed and it certainly hasn’t become more elite it’s become full of people that are actively ruining the hobby with support for clones and low cost rip-offs. I think what you are interpreting as elitism is people that have seen the same questions over and over for years and are tired of answering them.

Ooh dummy me lol

So you're just cupping?

V2. It sounds better to me. But both are really solid

Which do you prefer between the versions?

The above question is irrelevant to this conversation my man. Since you think you are reinventing the wheel here, I’ll answer it. Small business take out business loans. That being said, if I was running a small business, and my customer were willing to pay me up front (similar to a group buy) and I didn’t need to take out a business loan, I would 100% do it. But why aren’t small businesses doing this? Because their customers won’t pay for it. In the group buy model that we have here, they do. That should tell you straight up that these two things are very different and that a solution for a small business is not going to automatically be a solution for a group buy.

Keyset designers are 100% never going to take out a business loan. It will never happen. And as I’ve said before GBs are in shambles right now, but I’m not going to advocate for something that is arguably worse.

Black and yellow is v1, the others are v2

I took my switch tester to a meetup with friends a couple days ago, because one of them wanted to borrow it. Of course everyone started to play around with it and everyone was able to feel differences. I just think it is a matter of sample size. If you happen to have two very similar switches that are potentially over-lubed, then yeah, it will be hard to notice a difference.

V1 or v2?

All linears are the same they’re rotting my brain peace I can’t attain cause are linears are the same

I MIX AN AQUA KING I MIX AN OIL KING

You're only saying that because you're used to it. You still haven't answered the above question. There is always risk in producing something. Going the group buy route is safe because it basically eliminates the risk for the creator because he knows upfront what the demand is.

Then you also admit it's a problem. A problem should be solved and it won't solve itself, the lead times are already absurdly long and they will only become longer and longer.
