Always good to go back to plateless builds. As the hobby attracts more and more people, some of the classics aren't getting the recognition and love they used to have which is a real shame. Newcomers to this hobby should try to chase their own sound instead of building the same type of board all the time honestly. That said, it's oddly poppy in your plateless configuration? I've noticed the same kind of thing on my Tiger80 Lite on which I didn't put any foam on the PCB, yet it has a poppy type of sound that I can't get rid of... I'm not sure if that's due to the keyboard's design or the switches I'm using although they've got a POM bottom housing and a short stem.

[@3ildcat]

I guess so. As you already know well, different designs and switches make sound different all the time. So nothing is clear to see the result when you build one.

[@d-floe]

The difference between plate and pcb mounting is night and day. I love the pcb mount sound

[@Fajowski50]

Wrong. Plate mount much better

[@d-floe]

@@Fajowski50 oh im sorry I didnt realize my opinion was objectively wrong, I'll change that to accommodate you

[@chelseasmile9920]

[@kaminoeugene]

The sound difference comes from the lack of PE & plate foam tho. Not that there obviously would be a sound difference also without foam but it wouldn't be day and night.

[@WinkleKeebs]

@6:14 that sounds DIVINE omg. I really love watching these videos. btw, is there a benefit to the soldered one over the other?

[@WalterBlacc]

Nah not really. The functioning is the same but hotswap is more convenient

[@hirohiwo]

@@WalterBlacc thank you very much! I'm very new to the custom keyboard community and I don't know a lot of things. I wanna own one of these amazing keyboards one day.

[@recessedsubhuman]

Solder you can do plateless, on other boards solder PCB has more customization because you can choose your layout while Hotswap usually has a fixed layout, meaning you can only use one. The Arc in this video can use multiple layouts on the Hotswap PCB but cannot support 6.25u bottom row and Iso (I think) and it also cannot support plateless

[@hirohiwo]

@@recessedsubhuman I will know these terms one day. But I clearly like how the "Plateless" build sound. It sounds immaculate

[@WalterBlacc]

@@hirohiwo yeah it quite literally "sounds" immaculate. It doesn't have that metal-like sound that you get from the plate itself. It all comes down to personal preference

I see you using so many different stabs. Which ones are the best and why? Would be interesting to see a roundup.

[@Alltorn-N56]

All stabs do the same thing but they all have different feel and reliability. I believe it is talked to death by other youtubers you can find out pretty easily bro :)

[@philipp594]

@@Alltorn-N56 Not really. Wildcat will adress the issues where they are coming from. He knows exactly where the weaknesses of each set lie. He will round the ends if they tick. Clearance the fit in the plate or add Epsi if he has to. You could probably compile a video like that from his mods. I pretty much already only use Staebbies or TX-Stabs with BDZ on the end of the wire, and 205 on the housings / on the clip behind the bend. Which is pretty much the way to go. I'm just impressed thart he uses so many different ones.

[@3ildcat]

I haven't seen the best stabs for all boards. I prefer using TX and Gateron V2 these days but they are not perfect. Sometimes very good, sometimes, need to mod additionally or rebuild. They say SW Knight stabs are easy to use and nice but haven't tried yet.

[@philipp594]

@@3ildcat You don't like Staebies? I would usually go as tight as possible (Staebies, or TX / Zeal when plate mounted) then Lube the wire wit BDZ (not the elbow) and the rest (clip and housing with g205).

[@lebienheureux1841]

I have a question that is maybe innocent but why would you want a soldered pcb when you can get a hot swap one ? Is there any interest ?

[@z4k1_zaki65]

Solder PCB usually offers more layout support, plateless option, and sometimes a little more solid build

[@AT-vj2mz]

With soldering you can do a half plate (not sure about this particular board), it sounds way deeper and is much softer to type on without the plate support

[@ore._]

in this case specifically, in order to have a platelets build, it is only feasible with a soldered pcb, otherwise the switches will be too loose and not be comfortable to type on (including millmax)

[@AT-vj2mz]

@@ore._ Sadly that's the case for every keyboard I've seen so far, the tradeoff is too great for permanently picking switches or hours of desoldering if it doesn't sound how you expect it to
