R0-R5 profile question
« on: Mon, 15 January 2024, 11:26:21 »
The description for GMK ASCII (https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-ascii?variant=43440547102889) says:

one of very few sets made in full R0-1-2-3-4-5 Cherry profile.

What other sets have used full R0-1-2-3-4-5 Cherry profile?

Is there really much difference in having the top row be R0 instead of R1 as most sets are? I typically pick my whole hand up off the keyboard to press a key in the top row so I don't think I would notice if those keys were a slightly different height but for other typing styles maybe the difference between R0 and R1 for the top row is more pronounced?

LOL - we're on post #163 of this mega-thread and you've gone from"keyboard n00b" to "keyboard sn0b".  We've done our job.

The only other sets I remember off the top of my head that use R0&R5 are GMK Carbon r2 and a run of GMK WoB Extensions

The only other thing I can think of that has r0 is a kit from beige addons + extensions which will probably have extras soon

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.
