Hello from Germany! :-)
« on: Fri, 05 April 2024, 13:45:41 »
Hi guys,

I am fairly new to the hobby with only 3 Keyboards. Right now I am looking for inspiration to buy my first high end keeb.
My first ever keyboards that i got excited about was the roccat vulcan, since it looked so special compared to the other gaming boards.
Only years later i realized it wasn't all that good in the first place with it's non hot swappable browns , but somehow it was the starting point of my obsession with 'modern' and 'fancy' keyboards.
Right now my favourite build is my zoom75, which has a really creamy yet deep sound profile.

Am looking forward to seeing / hearing/ admiring your builds and get inspired.

Have a good day <3

Welcome to Geekhack :D

What are looking for in a keyboard, in terms of layout and the feel of the board, that will help you filter out everything else and leave you with stuff that you would actually use.

If you can go to a meetup and try out everything, it might not be everything that you are looking for, but if you like top mount for example than you can look for boards with top mounting style.

Good luck with that.

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.

Sounds like you're deeper in the hobby than you think. Welcome!
