What does proxy in shipping mean?
« on: Sun, 10 March 2024, 15:19:09 »
Come across some posts on mech market through discord and Reddit mentions the word proxy. Can someone explain it?

in that context a proxy is like a business (or a friend) that acts like a middleman in terms of shipping things. Like let's say that a business doesn't send products to Australia, I can send it to a proxy which will send it to me.

Pretty helpful, just look around and ask for good proxies as I'm not to sure about the best ones and read the terms and conditions, very important that as they might not refund you for things like fake items.

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.
