But but TFUE has them in his keyboard it must be good. I love them in my GK61 better then my outemulmao yeah idk it’s all preference some people like scratchy garbage, some like c3 tangerines. Not to be rude if you like em idc I just personally don’tShow Image(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/Twemoji2_1f602.svg/167px-Twemoji2_1f602.svg.png)and i also use rubber keycaps for that extra grip feels very nice with creams.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/CRb1Nns.png)
i thought that the whole point of the creams is that they were very good stock, so that you do not need to tediously open 105 switches to lube then and still have a good keyboard... but then you do you and yeah to me pretty much all those are overrated and hypedthis man/woman knows what’s good :thumb:
creams are good. they jut take more work
Doing this for 30 seconds to each switch is probably faster than rotating switches around for several months.
If you have one of these that you use for uh.... "other uses" I'd suggest thoroughly cleaning the end of it before using it on your switches
yeeeescreams are good. they jut take more work
Rather go with JWK then
From what I understand, Creams need to be broken in. The "self lubricating POM" needs to be used for a few months before you actually open them up for lubing. The sound and feel does get better. I'd recommend throwing some in a hotswap board and rotating them every few weeks so they're all used at a similar rate. I'm about 2 months into the process for my creams and they sound much better than they did on day 1. I plan to lube in about a month so we'll see how it goes.I see what your saying but why the hell would you have to break them in, I’m a huge fan of jwk/durock
Yeah, Novelkeys Cream is something that I genuinely think is what an average switch (at best) having the perfect streak of luck and good marketing, more specifically being having featured on high profile e-celeb's keyboard and the near mystic property of 'Self lubricating POM' attributed to them (like seriously, when will people learn that X material doesn't automatically makes a switch good? So many other factor is involved). All of which really helps elevate them to frankly an undeserving status among the linear offering right now.agreed ;D
Also people always says how Creams 'need work to be good/smooth', which is quite a BS point to be made when other offering are just as good if not outright better stock even compared to modded and lubed Creams, like how is that even consider a defense for a switch? Mod the other switch as well and they will almost certainly pull ahead of Cream. And my attempt at 'breaking in' my Creams samples yield no tangible improvement in terms of smoothness, so the 'breaking in' myth could be a classic case of placebo as well (everything about breaking in Creams is just pure anecdote AFAIK).
Doing this for 30 seconds to each switch is probably faster than rotating switches around for several months.umm no comment :blank:
oof. thanks for letting me know of a switch i should avoid hahano prob :D
