Keycap colours to fit my theme
« on: Thu, 11 January 2024, 05:00:36 »
Looking for suggestions. I like the feel of my stock Keychron caps, but the colours don't really fit the pad and cable that I just picked up. What do you think would look good here?

Maybe GMK Lazer could work.

Keep in mind that those sets will not support your layout, since full sizes generally don't have those 4 keys above the numpad (with gmk lazer you could get some of the novelties and put them there which would work)

Another thing is that I would wait for gmk lazer to go on sale on drops website because I wouldn't shop from drop unless it's a good deal, and they drop to low prices with these sales.

I think a purple set could also look nice.

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.

Ended up grabbing Drop DCX Dolch on sale.

Dolch is great for dark theme set. Although I think gmk mecha will fit your set up more.
