New to keyboards, excited to start!
« on: Tue, 09 January 2024, 00:06:42 »
Hello, nice to meet everyone. This past few months I have been obsessed with this hobby, and I have already built one keyboard with another on the way! I previously had a logitech mechanical keyboard, but today I've just completed my first custom build. I bought and put together a QK75n with sarokeys strawberry wine switches and frost witch clones, and I also have a wooting 60he in the mail, modded with a tofu redux case and pbtfans spark r2. I am planning on buying gmk frost witches or another purple color schemed cap when I have the funds available. I'm looking forward to building more keyboards, and hopefully my wallet can handle all of it!

Welcome to geekhack :)

Hope you enjoy the hobby, it does get pretty pricey, especially looking at the higher end or the rare/desirable stuff like otds and tgrs, but hope keyboards don't hurt your wallet too bad lol.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.
