Hello from the UK
« on: Thu, 17 August 2023, 02:41:43 »
Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself as I am very new to Geekhack, I don’t really know why as I have been using keyboards since I was probably 10 years old or at least that the first time I can remember. I love building keyboards myself and the satisfaction that you get at the end of it is unbeatable. I’m happy to be here and can’t wait to see all the cool posts to come as well, I’ve been looking at some old posts recently which made me want to join.

Welcome to geekhack  :)

I have similar feelings about completing builds as well (Even though I'm not 100% happy with some of my builds and would like to go back to them, I mean tinkering is what I like about the hobby so it makes sense)

There is tons of cool info as well, I still go back to just look at the cool stuff that people had back then as well, plus a lot of info about certain things is on old threads as well.

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.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.
