Hi geekhack
« on: Mon, 18 September 2023, 21:41:59 »
Hi geekhack, nice to meet you all.  :D
I was into keebs for a while now, but only participate in local small communities (as you can expect from an introvert). Some of my friend introduce geekhack to me and saying that I should share my stuffs in here so that people can see them. So here I am, giving it a shot. :D

Attached my daily drive that take me ~6 months to finish the project.

Have a nice week  :D

Welcome to Geekhack.

Honestly while your daily driver while very cluttered, it fits the theme of the board quite well. Those artisans are quite cool as well.

Have a nice week 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.

Hey, thanks for the welcome. Yeah, it looks cluttered as expected since I'm also cluttered with things on my head  :eek:
I checked the rules, wiki and was messing around in GH, also my first impression is things seems to be more on the "technical" side of things. And I'm a bit lost, not sure where I could fit in since I'm more on the "colorful" side.   :rolleyes:
Any suggestion?

Geekhack's core philosophy is definitely more on the technical nature of the hobby, tinkering around with different switches and boards is just very interesting to a lot of us, especially me who has always been a more diy person and making a keyboard build from start to finish is a very enjoyable process.

There are tons of threads on the geekhack media section of the board showing peoples creative photography and keyboards and showcasing the cool and sometimes colourful boards and artisans that the community has which could interest you, and the making stuff together thread has some creative stuff in there.

I'd still recommend checking out all of the things that geekhack has to offer, you might enjoy the technical side a lot. I know that when I started I was mainly into the aesthetics and sound of a keyboard, and now I really enjoy all of this nerd stuff lol
