While I understand your frustration, "picking them better" is just not a good solution. Until there are manufacturers with better QC and a passable overall product, we are stuck. Runners and/or companies that you speak of are not the problem here.

From what I read, people don't recommend lubing clickies, but linears and tactiles are fine.

Should you lube browns? I thought lubing tactiles was pointless?

/r/CatsBetweenKeyboards is the superior sub.

The molds for a single part of a switch, not the whole switch, is on a different order of magnitude of cost than you've identified here for an entire CNC machine. And for the record, I don't even make switches.

I would suggest some serious research into this topic before claiming you can fix a community that has managed this way for more than a decade now.

I just get them because I like the colors ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup

Exactly that lol.

Sure, but not every Greek letter has an easy analogue and a few of their names start with the same letter. Ultimately, it would just be best to have bilingual keycaps to create a guide.

GMK Striker looks really nice

This shouldn't significantly affect the function of the switch once mostly cleaned off though. Also the worst case scenario is you have to chuck a switch worth at at most a a few ten cent coins instead of a motherboard and CPU potentially worth over $1,000.

As somebody who also employs the greek alphabet you can always bind alpha to the A key, beta to the B key, Gamma to the G key and so on.

Kailh Box Whites are my favorites.

The Box Pinks/Jades/Navies are equally good, but with progressively heavier springs in them.
I prefer lighter springs, so I like the Whites best.

>paying another $40

That is the problem, at least with US vendors it didn't used to be only a $40 mark up. Its been anywhere from $65 to $80 mark ups for GMK sets on a lot of US vendors until just more recently (I have seen a particular vendor that had higher markups than that even).

I totally get there is going to be some mark up for extras, after all extras are just the vendor saying "we want x amount of sets, so that we can sell some more in case people didn't get a chance to join the GB". So they are paying for those extra sets out of their pockets, so of course there needs to be some sort of return on those sets on top of what they would already be making at GB price. Totally reasonable, its just when they are getting marked up $65 to $80 above what they sold at GB for, that is just a little bit too much. Again, not sure what the markups are over on the UK vendors, but glad that they don't seem to have been as bad as some US vendors.

I haven't tried Box Jades or Navies as they are expensive, but I use Box whites and I absolutely love them. There's a huge difference between them and those mx blue and mx blue clones. You know how people say that those who think tactile switches aren't good obviously haven't tried a good tactile switch? It's the same with clickies. Don't let those brown and blue switches fool you.

Reportedly there isn’t even enough space left for Costar stabs under the 2U keys. These are only compatible with Cherry-style stabs.

Yeah some apps are starting that, for one I know telegram is

I’m considering it :p but i just want to expand my options haha

Thank you for your input! Keychron just didn’t have an “it” factor for me!

I can understand that reasoning, of some designers going through with sets just because they want them, but I still think if there are really popular sets that were ran before the hobby boomed due to COVID, they really should be reran. I know some have, but I can think of a good example right off the top of my head with GMK Noel. Designer came right out and said they would not do an R2 of the set, even though there are a lot of people that really like the set and would like to have it. I know there is a NicePBT version, but some people in the hobby heavily prefer ABS over PBT, and some also prefer the latin alphas the set originally ran with over the sublegend ones that are on the NicePBT set. And then not sure what the plan is on GMK Mizu, not sure if that designer plans to do another round in GMK (I know other profiles have been ran, which I do like seeing, but it would be nice to have another GMK run since some only like using cherry profile).

I get that running a GB is stressful, but IMO I feel like if you have a popular set that ran successfully already, you have a lot less stress the second time around. PR will be easier since you can just base it all off of the last run, color matching is basically non existent since the set already successfully ran, renders, kitting etc might be updated, but even if the kitting is changed up, there is still a lot less work there too. Just some of my thoughts :)

I'm not confusing anything.

Remembering an entire alphabet layer without a visual guide is just very difficult.

K3 Pro is a solid option. I know you said besides keychron
