Newbie say Hi
« on: Sat, 07 October 2023, 22:46:24 »
I don't know if I am too late to discover this site after a year of falling into this rabbit hole. I have collected six "jewelry" until now from split, Alice to tkl, full size. The more I fall, the more I love this rabbit hole. Moving on from the keyboard, I step on the journey of keycaps. I tried all profiles, and all materials from wood and ceramic and decided to endgame with Aluvia. Besides the fact that I have to eat bread and eggs for a month, stick to the work desk for hours, sacrifice vacations, and party for this hobby, I feel like I am missing something in fulfilling my desire for it. The word "custom"!. I always dream about making a new keycap set, making a new keyboard theme. However, as I am not professional in design, market, or leading, I just wander around to find a place to express these ideas. I think this will be my destination for it. It would be really great if my thoughts could inspire others. My first time writing a cringy intro, but it is what it is. Sending my warmest hi to everyone! :p :p :p

Welcome to gh :)

It's never too late to join gh. The making stuff together section should have some of the info that you need. Plus I'm sure there are people who can help you on these things 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.

Nothing late bro, you've come to the perfect location. I want to see some designs from you, and you are invited to do so.

Thank you so much, guys. I have found so many profound things up here such as some mods like Millmax hot-swap, advice on desoldering, moding LED. These things I cannot find a specific tutorial or a good one anywhere except here. Great!!!
