Hello from PA
« on: Mon, 08 March 2021, 14:27:48 »
Just wanted to say Hi to everyone here.

New to the KB world and am currently drowning in a burning desire for keycaps and keyboards.
currently working on my first keyboard after using a corsair k70 with MX speed silvers for about a year. It's an NK65 Atomic purple.
 Kailh Pro purples and burgundy's are coming in at some point over the next month.

What's everyone's favorite form-factors?
Top 3 for me are:
1- 65%xt (Makes me moist)
2- 75%    (Perfection)
3- 65%    (Near perfect)

Anywho, have a wonderful day!

(the letters to type in to submit this post are (DEHYME) I thought it said DENY ME.

Anywho, have a wonderful day!
I drowned in those ocean eyes.

I've heard great things about the Kailh Pro Switches, and I assure you, they're much smoother than MX Speed Silvers (speaking from personal experience). Are you going to film and lube them as well, or just keep them stock?
Good luck on that first build.

Hi Protato. Welcome to Geekhack.

I still use a K70 with MX reds with my gaming rig.

Those NK65s look like great little boards.  :thumb:

I hadn't heard of WT-65XT. I have always loved the F keys being in its own block on the left of the board as well. If you like that, you may also like the LFK 78k. I hope LFK returns from the void so I can actually order some things from him.

You may want to post your little informal poll in the Keyboards section, it will get a lot more traffic there.

I can't really say I have an absolute favorite form factor myself. 65% and 75% work for me, but getting anything with my favorite switches in those sizes is near impossible, and I'll go with a weird old clicky switch over an ideal form factor any day.

Will defoo check out the 78ks. As far as the actual name of the 65xt I'm not sure. it's just convenient to have the f keys on the side like that.
