Hello everyone

Hi everyone!

I've been hoarding and building keyboards for a while and I think it's time to get more involved with the community.

Hi and welcome! Hope you enjoy GH though it has been pretty slow these days compare to its hey days. I wonder where is everyone? Discord??

A lot of people are on discord now, that's kinda been the big platform for a lot of keyboard discussion. I'm mostly on LightningXI's server (great place to talk about resin and keyboards) and a lot of vendor's servers are there too.
 
I still think geekhack is a great place to discuss (and unlike discord it's easy to find past discussions and can be archived pretty easily) but yeah it seems to be less of a place for a lot of instant discussion. Hope geekhack gets a lot more active users and smf can be more protected against bots, would love to see more meaningful discussion about keyboard stuff.

Also welcome to geekhack mless :)

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.
