Hi There!
« on: Mon, 29 January 2024, 13:02:11 »
Hi! I'm claire and I'm rather new to this hobby. I'm putting together a build featuring Kailh Box Jades, DSA Dark Magic Girl Keycaps, and Monsgeek M5 since I like the full size layout and purple color.

I've also interested in vintage keyboards, especially ones with Alps switches.

Welcome to geekhack :)

Vint stuff is really cool, alps are too (even though I prefer buckling springs)

What vint keyboards do you have?

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.
