I hope the project goes well!

Guess I gonna check them out along with the Akko Cilantro you mentioned...
Still got a big crate of springs (ranging 45-150g) and a 500g pot of Krytox (which I got cheap from a bankruptcy sale), so modding is no problem.

« Last post by TheSoulhunter on Mon, 08 December 2025, 16:12:31 »So, after more testing...
- The spring-swapped and broken-in Falcons ended up in my Top5
- The Greyfish are also in my Top5 (considering the low price, my bang-for-the-buck recommendation)
- The good old Zealios V2 are still my overall favorite for tactile switches (I wish they would re-run these...)
- Putting heavier springs in the Zeal-Crystals improves them a lot (no more stickiness) but does not elevate them to be in the Top5

Both of the Kalih switches (Brown V2 and Crystal Royal) feel "crunchy" (break-point is not smooth but gritty) to me.
But I don't really consider that to be a downside. It's just a different type of tactile feedback to me.
In difference to the Brown V2, the Royal's have a pseudo "click" on actuation.
Depending on the board (mounting, dimensions, material) that could cause resonance I guess?
EDIT: Just noticed the "Purple Pro" you mentioned, and the "Royal's" I tested are two different switches.
I recently got a set of Akko Creamy Purples, been loving them.
If you like high tactilty but soft springs, these are fantastic.
...
But 1-25% of switches could feel unlike the rest.
First I was "Okay, gonna try these..."
But the lack of consistency frightens me a bit ^^;

Keyboards / Aesco A83 - KVM not registering double taps CTRL
« Last post by BucklingSpring on Mon, 08 December 2025, 13:52:17 »I just got an Aesco A83, I installed A-HUB to upgrade the firmware to the latest version (1.6 something) and calibrate the keyboard.
The keyboard is connected to a KVM. The KVM make use of double taps to switch from one device to another.
Unfortunately, the KVM do not detect the double taps done on this keyboard. Although the signal is transmitted to the devices. Ie no matter how fast I double tap a letter. It always registers on the connected devices.
It looks like the KVM sniffer/filter does not recognize the double taps.
Any suggestions?
