Woah. Nice build for your first one. The stabs are suuuper close to perfect. One question, why did you go with ABS instead of PBT? Not to mention!! I still like the way NoveltyKey Creams sound on ABS with SA profile. But nice build tho! Its a wormhole you never get out of again😅. So last but not least. You did a GREAT job lubing the switches. Does not sound overlubed, also not underlubed. Congrats!

Nice way of saying these dont sound like creams haha i think its the wooden case tho. It sounds hollow, it's really interesting.
@purplelord85318 ай бұрын
this is a fascinating response this is how I would put together what you described. (hard plate like brass to reduce low resonance, but tall keycaps and creams for the depth) that ends up being what I hear in the board. i wonder - do you like an even deeper sound? even if you put a bunch of foam under a pc plate, I don't think it would be as crisp. also, most people in the hobby conflate a high pitched sound with crispness - cool to see that some people do not

@howardishere3 жыл бұрын
I had the exact same question when I bought it lol so how it works is on a normal keyboard there’s a key for question mark and slash. On this keyboard, if you press the right shift once it will be slash, and if you press left shift and then press right shift it will be question mark. Of course this keyboard is fully programmable so if that’s inconvenient you can map another key to do that but that’s the default :)
