The tea shaft is an upgraded version of membrane keyboard (imo), I recommend getting a red shaft which has a softer touch and a quicker response, green shaft if u like the clicking sound and I heard many students loves it, black shaft is abit too heavy but it's the most sensitive and quickest response. Hope this help when choosing your caps...
@marcusser10702 жыл бұрын
@@purplelord8531 yeah the tea shaft typing experience was somewhat similar to that of Logitech non-mechanical keyboard imo, like the MK series etc but slightly better typing feels. The caps does not have that much of crisp sound when typing, but it differs for everyone, some may like using it some may not :)

I bought KTT kang whites v3 for my first custom and damn boy they are so sick. I “overlubed” them cause i like how that amount of lube feels and sounds. However its not to the point where you get that squishy sound. Its just more than what people on youtube recommend. Its a sick switch, I eventually picked up the ktt peach but those are stock and they need to be lubed. Still decent though.

the difference in sound between the dynamic and camera mics was interesting. Which was closer to your experience of how they keyboard actually sounded? Feels like a bit disingenuous if many people making content on keyboards aren't giving a fair representation of how their keyboards actually sound (I'm new the custom keyboards but If I was dropping big money on a kit I'd be annoyed if I couldn't get it to sound like in the videos)
@LewisToh2 жыл бұрын
i would say imagine 25% of a camera mic and 75% of the dynamic mic, the camera mic feels realistic as it had distance away from the keyboard like how you would be, and the dynamic provided the accurate sound depth!

@holoblack Жыл бұрын
There's several reasons a camera mic may sound different: 1. Camera uses omnidirectional microphone (catches more reverb in the room and clashing frequencies that may drown out true sound than a directional) vs. cardioid pattern of dynamic mic (will not capture as many sounds around it, mainly focused on direction it is pointed) 2. Poor quality mic (camera) will literally cut off low frequencies/not pick them up Both of these can result in vastly different sounds. Most of the (obvious) difference you'll hear is the difference in low-end frequency capture between the two microphones.

If you would go for upgraded version, there are pbt keycaps that are around 7-8 dollars, and you could get the board by itself which is around 11 dollars, and if you get the same switches that are 7, it would still be 27 dollars, just a bit more than the non-upgraded version. So, you can still get the upgraded version if you do these, for just for a few more dollars.
