@@MrMichaeldwatson You don't want to lube boxes in the first place, really. Considering they let dust pass in and out and lubricating doesn't provide much of a benefit for the BOX line specifically. Even then asking anyone to lube switches on their first try isn't exactly advisable since it can take up to four minutes per switch to lube, assuming you didn't ruin any switches' keyfeel. I'd say for even 99% of mech enthusiasts, asking them to lube their own switches is asking too much for the marginal benefit it provides.

Coiling a cable is some kind of looks that attracts usually a more mature audience - there for its not childish. However, ofc there are children wich dont like RGB and matures which do. But if you call something childish its all about statics. And statisicly hes totaly corret.

I've been diving down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole for a few years now and while I still like Cherry MX blue switches, honestly Razer's goofy "opto-mechanical" switches on the Huntsman and Huntsman Elite keyboards have stolen my heart. They're everything I like about Cherry MX blues (tactile, clicky) but lighter actuation force, and their actuation/reset point is both the same and higher up than Cherry switches so you don't have to press the keys down as far to type. As a touch-typist this has made a world of difference in speed and accuracy, as well as eliminating the fatigue that sometimes happens after long typing sessions on my MX blue keyboards. That all being said - the one membrane keyboard thing I miss is the shape and layout of the Microsoft Ergo 4000. It is perfect with the front plastic riser thingy, but I found the comfort of mechanical switches outweighed the superior wrist positioning for me. If someone would make literally that exact keyboard but with these Razer laser switches, they could have all my moneys. All of them.

Also you should definitely clip the stabs to reduce the noise which will reduce the rattle and make your keyboard sound better. And putting some foam under the PCB can reduce some the the annoying reverb. O rings might be an option but some people don't like them as they make the keyboard a little less sharp feeling.

you can lube the stabilizers

Can you give us the name of those keycaps? I need those, they look so vintage and confortable.

All the money goes to the GMK set. DZ60 boards are actually pretty cheap. You can get a set of TAIHAO OEM caps for 50 bucks and a KBDfans aluminum case for 80. I'd get the hot swap dz60 which is another 55 bucks, cos switching out switches without having to desolder is well worth the extra 20 bucks. Then you get your burnt orange switches for 25 dollars with a few extra just in case. Of course, get some good stabs and lube them, which costs another 20 dollars. This ends up around 225 dollars, and you get an arguably better experience than the one you built. Also, if you don't need hot swappable pcb, just get the regular DZ60 with the burnt orange set on KBDfans for 52.5. That's a steal. It'll bump the cost down to sub $200.

"ugh that rattle" *scrolls down* first thing I see is "UPDATE: clipped/lubed the stabilizers"

Coming from someone who does not currently own a custom keyboard, but is looking into building one, i don't think $300 is too bad for a nice keyboard. More expensive prebuilt gaming keyboard are already getting dangerously close to that price point, and they aren't really anything special. Some dedicated media keys, a whole lot of RGB and maybe some extra macro keys, but otherwise just bog standard mx-cheapo switches, cheap keycaps and plastic cases. $300 for a keyboard that is built to my preference and with more premium components is pretty reasonable, especially since it's upgradable and user serviceable.

Here's my dream keyboard -Brass keycaps (kills germs) -Metal switches (no more plasticy sounds) -Bluetooth + 2.4 GHz Receiver (fuck wires)

I cannot imagine how any keyboard, no matter the price, can be much better than my forty year old Model M Compact buckling spring keyboard, which I found new in its sealed box in the dumpster at my place of work. These keyboards were originally supplied only with IBM servers. I have four of them. I also have several Model M standard keyboards, also superb. I'm glad motherboard manufacturers still put PS2 connectors on new motherboards for gamers. How many other pieces of technology from 40 years ago are still among the best available? None.

The only think that stopping me (apart from price) is that I haven't been able to find a board that supports fn key on the left (for keys on the left side). Because I realy, really want that.

Beautiful. Have you ever considered switching to another keyboard layout such as Colemak or Dvorak?

Did you snip the dampening stems on the stabs? Please use genuine cherry stabs and drown them in lube, the keyboard looks very nice but the rattle on the long modifiers and spacebar is distracting! But you did a great job with this build tho.

How does it look in the dark? Do the letters on the keys light up, even white?
@arubial12295 жыл бұрын
Nope. This PCB features RGB underglow which is accent lighting from the bottom of the keyboard but the keys are not backlit

A tip for new solderers: If you want your soldering job to look very clean and professional get yourself a brush and use some alcohol to clean the flux from the board after you make the solder joint... Or just use 63/37 solder with no flux.

As someone who is in the mech community, I really thought this was a guide on you to build one for ONLY $300, because that’s actually relatively cheap for a mech board. I’m planning on building a ‘cheap’ $400 board soon

Please snazzy tell me you replaced the stabilizers with genuine cherry ones and lubed them and if pcb mounted clipped them.. watching you type hurt my ears and broke my heart such a nice board with bad stabs..

Hey! FYI, baking the cable into the coil is just 1/2 of the coiling process. After it’s cooled off, you invert the coiling, which gives the coil its “snap”.
