@lynneftw2 жыл бұрын
What did you do to the o-rings? And how did that more positively affect the key presses or sound? I love the FEEL of a mechanical keyboard, but I don't like super clacky/clicky or mushy. I prefer the sound of my quiet low-profile laptop keys, but would rather the height/travel of a mechanical key.
@jazbean2 жыл бұрын
@@lynneftw O-rings go inside the keycaps around the centre part that attaches to the switches. Generally they can make your keyboard a little quieter by preventing the switch from bottoming out, but if you have clicky switches it's not going to get rid of the click noise. They can also make the keys feel mushy depending on the o-rings you use.

And also you can dim the lights. So check if it is dimmed all the way down. She might have already figured it out. Just put it here if anyone else needed.

The K2's a phenomenal keyboard. FYI I'd bet the lighting issue on the red was you needing to hold Function, then tap the lighting key. That cycles lighting itself on and off (and while it's toggled off, the brightness adjustment keys will do nothing) and can leave one momentarily convinced the board's lighting has gone out.

@akerouge35193 жыл бұрын
With the Reds, although it's supposed to be 'quieter'... it would seem that by natural habit, most people would bottom out more often, and thus it somehow sounds really similar to the Browns because of that thump at the end. Also because you aren't used to Reds, the 'misses' are more pronounced or rather you don't realize that the input has already been registered, making you second guess and doing a second tap just for confirmation, only to find out otherwise. Between Linear and Tactile, I believe most people naturally steer towards Tactile as a natural form of interaction with a keyboard, while Linear tends to take time to get used to, and is more of an acquired taste. I was debating between Browns and Reds as well, but in the end when with Brown. Literally just purchased the Keychron K6 Hot-Swappable with Gateron Brown, and am eagerly waiting for its arrival. With that said however, I did also purchase the Glorious Panda switches, so we'll see how goes!

@akerouge35193 жыл бұрын
@@VideoFanatic13 Just got them yesterday, and yes I chose the hot-swappable board with the Gateron Browns. Personally, despite the debacles about brown switches in general, I do actually quite like these Gateron Browns. I've personally tried Razer Orange, MX Brown, MX Red, and these Gateron Browns.. are kind of a mix between a Razer Orange and a MX Red. It has slightly less tactility compared to the Razer Orange, but the downstroke is as smooth as a MX Red. It's kinda unique in my opinion. You're getting almost the smoothness of a linear, while having just a tinge of tactility that's just faintly enough for a person to feel the actuation point. It isn't scratchy at all either. Even so, I'll probably swap out for lubed Glorious Pandas once I get those, and I'm looking at Sakurio switches as well. Edit: Revised thoughts after about a dozen more hours of testing.

I'm currently using my 3 year old (kinda cheap) mechanical keyboard, it's my first mechanical keyboard I bought when I didn't know much about mechanical keyboards (my only requirements back then is that it should be mechanical, has numpad, and has rgb lights, lol). Thankfully, although it is cheap, it is still working well up to this day. But I'm not very happy with these blue switches anymore. I'm thinking either I'll buy new switches and keycaps (still undecided between red and brown) or I'll buy a totally new keyboard (because I'm a little annoyed by the wire on my current keyboard so I'm looking to for a wireless option too). I like how quiet the red switches are but I worry that I might not enjoy it, or I might make some typing mistakes here and there because it's way different compared to my current blue switches which I've been using for the past 3 years.

The K1 with brown switches are a quieter 'twok' sound and the backlighting are big pluses.
