Ofc, just another excuse to buy more keyboards hehe

what even is that?

You should see the keyboards that US Postal Service keyers use at the Remote Coding Center in Utah.

Tom Scott has a great video on it.

Personally just can't rationalize the price on my budget. If I could though, insta buy.

Sick keyboard fight stick. Take that bad boy to EVO

So are these technically silent switches? Or are they just quieter switches?

Fuck it, I'll ask. Why not? Looks dope. Only recently got into /MK and just bought my first artisan keycaps about a month ago.

I'd like to see a chyrosran review on this

Mmmph!

I’m hungry and I came here for yolk.

Yes ^_^

Overview

Gateron recently released a new version of the North Pole switches. In this blog, we will review the North Pole 2.0 Yellow and compare it with the original version. 

Product Details

Like the original version, the 2.0 uses polycarbonate transparent housing. It has an actuation force of 50g and a bottom out force of 67g. The total travel time is 4.0mm. It is factory lubed. 

Yellow Rubber

The biggest difference between the two is the yellow rubber on the housing base. Gateron says that the rubber helps distinguish North Pole switch options since they have the Red, the Silver, etc. Gateron did not specify what type of material it is, but we guess it is some kind of silicone-based material.

Exhaust Holes

Gateron also mentions that the 2.0 version has exhaust holes set at the bottom which is supposed to allow for gases to escape so there is less resistance as you press down. In theory, it should result in better aerodynamics. However, it is unclear whether the exhaust holes will make a difference given that the stem and housing are not aero-tie sealed to begin with.  

Switch Sound

The sound of two versions sound quite different.

On the downstroke, the 2.0 sounds more subdued, similar to the sound of a silent switch. 

In terms of the upstroke, it sounds just like the original version.

We also took out the yellow rubber and tested it. The 2.0 without the rubber sounds like the original version. 

So, the majority of the difference between the two comes from the yellow rubber.

Switch Feel

The 2.0 has a cushioned downstroke feel of a silent switch. In terms of smoothness, they both are very smooth. 

Disclaimer: we sell these switches.

Well, not for the C-41 side, since that's the film processor

I used to manage photo labs. Fuji machines were great, but my true love was the Noritsu machines I started on. They were absolute tanks and always put out a good print.

i mean what more does one mean

It still has the proper key to pay respects.

Yes, D A R K

Not a genshin impact player, so the theme goes over my head, but nice chill colours, and a good ergonomic layout that doesn’t look cursed. (Complimentary (real) cursed keyboard: https://simplyian.com/assets/safetype-keyboard.jpg

My first "real job" was working in a photo lab with Noritsu printers. We manually adjusted all photos. Some wedding jobs we would have over 1,000 prints. Thankfully most of those photographers had our colour profiles installed, so for the most part it was just adjusting density.

I designed this keyboard from scratch. In the comments i talked about the resources i used. I used a guid for the atmega32u4 but its well doable to replace the atmega32u4 with the rp2040. If i were to design another keyboard today, i would also prefer the rp2040 due to cost and availability.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out.

It's fun to stay at the Y. M. C... oh. Nevermind.

Those colors look awesome, very neat! Yun Jin is indeed a cutie
