Hello
« on: Thu, 24 August 2023, 20:08:09 »
Hello,

I'm new here. I go by Kelnei or Kel for short. I've been in the hobby for a little over a year now. In that time, I've often stumbled on Geekhack because of IC links, but I've always been a lurker and never had an account until now. For the last decade, I've mostly been using keyboards like the Filco Majestouch Ninja with MX browns for work or a Corsair K95 Platinum for gaming at home. I wasn't really satisfied with the quality for what I thought at the time were high end keyboards (forgive me, I was ignorant). So in July 2022, I started going down the rabbit hole of customs. Since that time I've built ten boards and have definitely developed some preferences; I prefer WK TKLs with 55-62.5g long pole linears, hotswap of course because I have commitment issues and GMK keycaps. Most evenings you can find me lurking in some channel of a Keeb streamer on Twitch, probably the one with the most viewers in Makers & Crafting.

Honored to meet you all,
Kel

We are all ignorant about stuff one point no need to apologise. There is a lot to learn (I think I'm pretty good at this but still have a long way to go tbh)

I would say stuff about preference but it changes so often I can't really tell you (but I have been enjoying long pole creams atm, got tx 62g and they are so nice I always get consistent springs like that cause they improve the switch so much for me)

Welcome to gh, have a good time.

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.
