Hello All
« on: Wed, 07 February 2024, 05:24:36 »
Hello All. I'm sloth. Ofc a new member. I'm pretty new to this hobby but man I love it. Never thought a keyboard would bring such joy. I remember it all started for me asking a simple question, "what keyboard should I get for my mac mini" on a reddit post. Someone mentioned Nuphy, from there the rest is history. My first keyboard that I took apart and modded was keychron, still with me today, great keyboard. But from there, it went deeper, from switches to keycaps to stabs. I know have 4 keyboards, a room full of switches and keycaps, and 2 gbs Ive joined. I am excited to see the info this group has and to check out all the upcoming projects.

Welcome to geekhack.

You mentioned you had several keyboards, you mind telling me your current collection?

keyboard collection - fjell
More
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.
| hhkb bt
More
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.
| m0115
More
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.
| praxis
More
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.
| camo filco
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.

I mean I don't have anything special either so it's fine. If you need any recommendations or feelings on new boards. I and many people on geekhack can help, plus people will usually give their opinion on the geekhack IC threads as well.

I love Mode's boards. I don't have one yet. But that's still a great collection. I have a fair amount of KBD fans boards, and Idabao, and NK65.

Welcome to the club!
