Hello people!
« on: Sun, 16 June 2024, 09:03:04 »
Hello there!

I've been interested in keyboards for a little over a year now, went through countless videos, lurked on GH for about a month now and built some of my own keyboards! (some better than others, lol)
Currently continuing to lurk in my free time and on rare occasions even comment if I don't feel too shy to interact with people here!

I'll see y'all around!
I have a distaste for the function row

Welcome to Geekhack :)

What keyboards have you built?
keyboard collection - fjell

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.
| praxis

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.

I've built a Keychron v6 with milky yellows and Keychron PBT keycaps as my first keyboard, a Zoom75 with Moondrop Lunalight (incredibly similar to wuque aurora...) and random PBT keycaps from aliexpress and a PBTfans Pluto with NK cream and GMK keycaps.

First two keyboards were more like me trying to find my taste rather than me actually making a keyboard I enjoy, third one's the charm though, and I perfectly hit the nail with the Pluto (and because the keyboard is regardless super pretty)
