Modding IQUNIX F96 & Typing Sounds

I've told myself so many times that I am never going to lube my switches ever again, but since that statement I have lubed something like 250 switches and any build I have or prebuilt that comes through gets the lubed switch treatment

I just got this keyboard in the mail today (the coral version) and the ping is SOOO BADDD. It's my first "pro-level" mechanical keyboard if you will and I definitely do not have the expertise to do all this. I guess I'll have to suffer with the super loud pinging until I can build my own... huge waste of money if you're a beginner who can't desolder. :-\

[@reportgorilla5848]

Agree. Really really poor value. And no willingness to acknowledge there is an issue. Reading that so many people reported the same problem makes me more angry and suggests IQUNIX knows about the problem and just ignore it. Buyers be warned!

[@chronograph_667]

dhuntard he said he likes linear switches and that his favourite switch is the tealios which is one of the best linear switches. They are from Zeal, which tend to be a bit expensive. If u want tactile switches use holy pandas and Zealios. Holy pandas give a really nice thock sound when lubed and have a pleasant tactile feeling and so do Zealios. But it’s just personal preference really

[@tehfilipnokid64]

@@Juho- NK Creams and C3 Tangerines are my favorite linear switches. I replaced the stems on my Tangerine with UHMWPE stems which have less friction and they're an absolute joy to use. Also lubed and filmed mine. Honestly unless you wanna dive deep into the rabbit hole, getting some gaterons switches would be ok but lubing is an absolute must at the very least.

I have done it. Took 4 inconsistent days. Destroyed one switch. Still can’t understand why switch’s leaf was destroyed.

Hello there!! I am pretty new to the world of Mechanical Keyboards and I recently got an Iqunix f96. Unlike yours mine makes a horrible metallic sound everything you touch the keyboard, either the keys or just moving it around, the whole plate makes a vibration with a really high pitch noise. Do you know why this can be?? I haven't been able to find a solution and nobody mention this in their reviews. I dismounted it and put it back together and I feel like it just got worse. I was gonna add some foam but it comes with foam inside already... any Idea?? many thanks in advance for any tips you can give me. I am trying to ignore it but its just too much and it makes me crazy to type in a otherwise fantastic keyboard

[@jkjk0707]

I have the exact same problem, I contacted IQUNIX and they are doing nothing about it. They are trying to pass this as "it's normal for kat kecap, brown switch, etc" Trying to avoid fixing this. Horrible customer service. I noticed some other people who has recently purchased has this problem as well. It must be a bad batch or poor assembly job. I'm thinking of creating reddit post about this so we can all chime in on this or hopefully IQUNIX will listen to us if enough of us has the same problem.

[@antoniocastrojimenez8366]

@@jkjk0707 same here! they said that it was normal because of the materials used but that's bullshit, its just a factory problem cause its not normal than a keyboard on that price range sounds like that

Same symptoms here. Any progress on this for you? The ringing is very annoying. IQUNIX support refusing to acknowledge problem. I feel just like you. Frustrated that an almost great keyboard has such a bad flaw. Shipping from China and no way communicate with them other than repetitive denial of problem. Joy of good quality destroyed. Buyers beware!!

[@reportgorilla5848]

​@@jkjk0707 Totally agree. Useless service. I keep explaining the problem and they flatly ignore what I have written and just say "It's normal", which is code for "I don't care what you report because were are not going to do anything about it." I reply saying "Please could you answer my question?" and they say "It's normal"... Maybe it's a robot that alternates between 4 standard answers? Or maybe their bosses don't let them acknowledge anything negative because they'll lose their job? In any case, big disconnect. Not worth the money or aggro. Very disappointing.
