when i was younger, i loved hearing the clicky sounds of the blues and razor greens. now that im older, the slient ones are soo good. how times have changed

[@GugiRosi]

Same bro i always wanted razer blackwidow, now i own a RK84 modded it with banana splits and lubed it😌

[@amirabasgamer399]

Those clicky sounds are temporary after a while u dont like it that much but the peace and the beauty in the quietness is permanent

[@Brickbuilder128]

Well, the thing is, I don't think it's just you being young. When mechanical keyboards started becoming a trend again (not custom keyboards), most of them were like gaming keyboards, specifically razer green. It gave the feedback people wanted when pressing down on a key. Then, other companies followed, and then everybody was having clicky/poor sounding keyboards. Then custom keyboards hit the market, and basically it made everything else before look bad. The thing is, I liked clicky switches before too, But here is the catch, Linear and tactile options available were not great, essentially every switch was the basic Cherrys, which obviously, are not that great of a switch since they offered no lubrication. Lubed switches really wasn't a thing back then, and combined with a lack of acoustics on keyboards, you ended up with a pingy, hollow, and scratchy keyboard with linear and tactile switches. Today now, we have aluminum cases, we know how to mod our keyboards, change our sound profile, so given this, everybody naturally transitioned over to linear and tactile switches because clicky switches just doesn't offer much customization or as nice of a sound profile as the other 2.

[@IronCan88]

Qk65 never disappoints. Such soothing sound.

[@Invictus22656]

That sound profile is only achievable with KAT keycaps. 1.7mm thick PBT dyesub keycap is just on another league

[@IronCan88]

@@Invictus22656 nah you need to try qk65 with foams and without the silicone layer. As long as you have decent pbt keycaps you will be fine.

[@leonard.nicolae]

@@IronCan88 Q2 or QK65? What do you recommend ?

[@IronCan88]

@@leonard.nicolae qk65 will feel and sound more premium. It will be available first quarter next year. Q2 will give you both windows and Mac layout support (there's a dedicated switch). And readily available. It comes with steel plate, so if you like deeper sound or softer typing feel, you'll want to consider buying a PC plate instead. If you do get it, just remember to do force break mod and consider adding polyfill at bottom. Qk65 comes with carry case, owlslab stabilizer, lots of foams. So keep that in mind when comparing prices. Enjoy!

[@TimonY4]

The sound is similar to a geiger counter lol

[@Swami-Switches]

The tofu60 with matcha lattes is the first build in a long time that makes me kinda like “thock” again. It’s deep and marbly but doesn’t sound like it was stuffed to hell with foam.

[@prodigal99]

Hot take, I like the way the tofu65 sounds more than the qk65, its just sounds cleaner. But I like the aesthetics of the qk65 over the tofu65. The edges and corners on the tofu65 are too sharp lol

Building a keyboard, how can I make sure a PCB can run the switches I chose, and a connector for a Bluetooth keyboard?

[@hardwareabstraction]

Depends what type of switches you're using. There's different types but most are the cherry MX style. They have a usual 3 pin or 5 pin layout. If you dont want to solder you're going to want to look for a keyboard that advertises "hotswap". As for the bluetooth part, just need to make sure whatever keyboard you buy advertises the feature.

[@Sexy_t1]

I have the Keychron v1 with phantom yellows. It sounds really nice. I want a nice creamy/thocky feel what would be the best switches for that. they need to be fast though and light. Ive been searching for something like that.
