Title: hello
Post by: kait03 on Wed, 27 February 2019, 13:05:48

so i recently found geekhack and i registered today so i'm fresh as water. i'm a student and i'm italian; iwas looking for building my self a keyboard (i now have a corsair k63) but a very specific keyboard: a deep sounding but not silent, but i don't have a really high budget and i never soldered anything. so fare i chosed those pieces from kbdfans: 60% aluminum low profile case; GK64 XD64 DZ60 PBT keycaps; GK64 RGB 60% 64keys hot swap PCB, so im miss the switch at the start i was looking for kailh box wite but they are to high pitched, what tipe of switch do you recommend me? thx for reading and sorry for my bad english

Hello to you!  Don't worry about your English. It is fine. I am also very new so let us learn together!

Are you saying you want quieter switches? Have you looked on Youtube for videos of people doing sound tests on their keyboards/switches. I have found that there are lots of videos of people installing and testing switches. That might help your decision. 

I am too new as well to make a suggestion.  I can only say most people recommend Tealios if you can afford them or Gateron Black for a more smooth quiet switch. With the aluminum and PBT caps it might work for a better sound.

But I am only sharing what people have shared with me. Please, I am no expert. I am still working on my first also.
