A mod that is a bit easier than using tape is butcher paper or painters paper. No adhesive and sits nicely under the pcb. It will give your sound more volume.

You don't see many of those in here. I love the combination of WoB on a white board. It's a classic look.

Welcome! I just got into this myself and my first mech is an RK84 (with blues too). Happy with the build quality and features but you will be happier with better keycaps.

The stock ones are thin, flimsy feeling and clacky in the worst possible way.

This has just made me aware that my typing is not as good as I thought it was :)

It's all a personal preference. I personally like a higher, more standard profile, but if you are used to a lower profile board, then it may be a good option. Try a standard profile board and see how you feel about it.

The good thing with the tape mod, is that it's fully reversible, so try it and see if you like the results. If not, you can just remove the tape.

Welcome aboard. That pastel pink looks really good with those keycaps. I love the warm beige of the alphas against it.

Got a great deal on an already low cost board, and couldn't say no to it. I've been wanting a mech for a while, but could never convince myself to part with much money for one. So when I saw this for some pocket fluff and a loose button, I picked it up without second thought.

I went for the blue clicky switches, despite really liking the idea of tactiles. But I thought, why not go all in on the experience. Surprised at the heft of this thing. Feels even better than I was expecting, for the cost. Weighty, barely any flex, fairly light keys, but satisfying. and though I have no real use for lights, never mind RGB, I really appreciate that it includes all that, and the various modes for it. Currently have it in a touch feedback mode, with the keys lighting up under my fingers, and fading away, in a warm orange glow. Cosy.

Hopefully a keeper for a few years to come, and such a positive experience for a first timer into the mech world.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Did I break a rule, or just keyboard racists?

SAME THAT ONE VIDEO SET ME OFF TO GET MY OWN SPACE65

what is right alpha?

I have the same keycap set on my VN96!

That's a nice keyboard I like the jades tho pandas too

Hell yeah, thank you!

I allways bring mine 😁 Only one at the office that uses QWERTY (I live in belgium - AZERTY is king here ffs)

How much were the boxes? Grats on Susuwatari

I really like their membranes too, but I have a nasty habit of typing too hard and utterly destroying shit keyboards.

​

My test of a solid keyboard is if I can use it for work without the keys falling off after a few months lmao

Thank you! Would you say that its cute? :,)

This seems to work well, and is a great tool for anyone, of any level. Bookmarked.

I can't wait for the zoom65 to ship! Looks like a super build 👍 what switches are you using?

Why not plug in both?

Will masking tape be enough to cover the flex cuts (basically painters tape)? Uhmwpe tape seems a bit too heavy duty / permanent especially for the pcb.

3ildcat is totally a dude. You can tell by the hands…and Instagram.

I think that the history of standard layout goes so far back that I couldn't answer that even with 10 hours of research.

In theory, reduces switch wobble and changes switch sound. For some switches, they're a waste of time, others a pleasant change. For my part, they're never worth quite the effort of installing them as well as all the lubing etc. The lube itself generally does more I find.

1. I would love to get rid of wrist rest.
2. I would love to have good low profile switch but nearly all are awful to type on after you get accustomed to fine tuned enthusiast full size MX style switch.
3. Keychron made more variations beyond red/brown/blue but they optical and only fit their LP keebs AFAIK.
4. NuPhy Air75 with their nSA keycaps is the best I've tried so far but I am still jumping back and forth to my custom build with perfected typing experience.
5. Hopefully LP market will expand and customisation, switch and keycaps options will follow.
