Interest Checks / Re: [IC] ORI 870 — Less, but Better

Update Prototype:



Hi-quality image comming in 1-2 week.

Also i will keep the price around ~ 350 usd/kit this time. Of course, removing details about the physically polished steel will greatly help to make the price more reasonable. The truly high level of detail and finish will be reserved for the CLS line. ( Anodized level still the same, Neson team still making this )

Keyboards / Help me build a high-end keyboard with "poppy" or "marbly" sound ($1,500 budget)
« Last post by goobus on Thu, 16 April 2026, 00:10:10 »
As title says, looking to build a high end custom (75% or TKL) with a sound profile that's "poppy" or "marbly" - best I can describe is there's a higher pitched clack, but at the same time there's a thud on the lower end that rounds out the sound.

For reference, what I'm looking for sounds exactly like "marbly" at 0:10 in this short:Not a valid youtube URL
Budget is $1500 - I'm open to modding switches, custom foam, anything else that might help achieve this.

Thanks in advance, look forward to hearing all of your suggestions and discussion.

I’ll try T1 variants and Everfree Grayish first, then compare with U4T tactiles. appreciate it

Please share your experience. The U4T belong to the few switches I could not source (for a reasonable price).
It's either "out of stock", astronomical prices (1.50 - 2.50 per switch) or "not unavailable in your location".

It is a shame that the layout for this one is so bad. If this was WKL 7u locked bottom row with options for Split BS/RS it would kill. Absolutely day 1 pickup for me if the layout was right as I love the design, but forcing layout options feels really bad in 2026. Especially since the western market doesn't really use 6.25u bottom row. It really is such a shame that a lot of these really cool designs with really solid price points end up favoring a specific market.

This is interesting. Thanks for posting this.

For MX Clear replacements, I sometimes prefer Durock Medium Tactile. Which is inspired by Zealio V1 / V2. The new Gateron Longjing Tea are somewhat nice, but maybe too gentle for your requirements.

For you, I would recommend some other switches in the Ergo Clear category. The JWK/Durock or JWICK T1 were often rated as being 'better Ergo Clears.' Some interesting variants of the T1 are the SP Star Polaris Purple. Some people prefer the SP Star version of things.

The Everfree Grayish are definitely worth trying, if they are still being sold at budget prices. They are Gateron's attempt at a budget heavy-tactile. You could compare and contrast them with KTT Matcha, which may be too light for you.

Most of the items I just listed, except for Everfree Grayish, probably aren't 'crunchy' enough for you. What some people do is put Durock Medium Tactile stems inside T1 housings. This produces a ramped-up Ergo Clear.

The MMD Princess switches are very, very affordable heavier tactiles, and most people would also try the more upscale U4T tactiles. The Haimu WS Heavy Tactiles are something cheap to experiment with.

People who use them favour the Durock Anubis. Others speak well of the Tecsee Purple Pandas. One of the most tactile switches available, possibly worth trying for you, are the Zeal Clickiez in tactile-mode.
Thanks, this is super helpful. I’ll try T1 variants and Everfree Grayish first, then compare with U4T tactiles. appreciate it

Can anyone of Chinese heritage tell me why old Chinese grandmas put EVERY SINGLE item in a plastic bag when grocery shopping? Not just fruits and veggies, but things already in packaging. Bread, cereal boxes, milk cartons, candy. Every single item in it's own plastic bag. And then they refuse paper bags and walk out carrying 75 little blue plastic bags?

Why? Why do they do this?

Sounds like they take it to use for something later at home. Maybe they use them as bin bags?
