Wow that was very interesting to see. But that tool to decide on the warped spacebars seems a bit questionable, no? Kinda not surprised I got a warped spacebar last week if this is the test to decide on. It feels like they would have better options to decide on it if they wanted as they have so much different equipment to measure things.

So do you prefer GMK then over PBT? And if so what are some of your reasons?
@@eraserheadSH That's fair. I tend to like the not as bright look, sound true but most comes from switches and case, I agree with legends and I find personally PBT better quality and can be harder to form in production and therefore can warp.
@DingDongMcgee7 ай бұрын
Do you mean ABS over PBT? GMK makes both now. I find PBT to be generally a deeper and more muted sound. Sometimes a board sounds better with one or the other. It's all preference in the end. I prefer the feel/sound of ABS. And I'll disagree in part that most sound comes from the switches/case... while that's true... caps definitely matter and sound audibly different even to an untrained ear.
@rvh59227 ай бұрын
@@DingDongMcgee Oh cool I didn't know they make both now. True it is preference but I will agree keycaps 100% make a difference in sound I think a great sound change can come from the switches and keyboard and minor sound change from keycaps. But still can notice a difference with different types of keycaps yes.

@animucc276 ай бұрын
GMK isn't designing these keycaps. They're manufacturing them. GMK has their keycap profiles, which is the basis of the keycap's shape, but that's it. It's up to the designer, who doesn't work for GMK, if they want to include different legends or characters on their kits.
