i did have the same hotswap socket issues with some of my boards, i did realize that the ixpe foam does contribute to these issues, due to its very "strand-like" texture, it gets in the way of the sockets after frequent changing of switches, removing the worn out ixpe did help, but u lose the mod tho lol

I have also had the issue of the hotswap socket not closing the circuit. My solution was to bend the switch's pins slightly down so when its put back into the socket it touches both sides of the socket. This has worked for about two and a half months now without any adjustment. It also can be done without opening the case if you're are feeling lazy.

Funny enough ( I think I always commented on you having a unique take to other mechKey creators ) you were the only one to talk about the kinda weird bluetooth switch under the caps.

@AvinashKunjamboo Жыл бұрын

No worries! Not having experienced the frog mini, so purely based on the Frog TKL, I think the sound from Geon's boards would be way "fuller" but i think they lean a lot more on the purity of the board's sound i.e no foams, definitely no PE sheet and whatnot. The QK60 would be a good pick if you want more in terms of customisability for sure, but the frog would be great as a nice sounding stock board probably!

I experience the issue with the hotswap socket pins almost every time I change switches and keycaps on my kbdfans tiger lite. I found that it happens less when I support the pcb on my deskmat whenever changing switches and keycaps. Annoying to disassemble every time, but it reduced the instances for sure since I was using a PC plate and flex cut pcb. Cool video on long term usage of the QK60! I too am scared of committing to layouts smaller than 75% since I regularly use the function keys but seems that it can be only a minor inconvenience to some.

Great video Avi! I too own a wireless QK60 and I use it in primarily bluetooth mode. That switch that is under the shift key is actually to cut power from the battery to the rest of the board. Whenever, you do not have it bluetooth/2.4Ghz mode, it seems to turn off the bluetooth. I have used it in the past 2 weeks and have not had a need to charge so leaving that switch up doesn't seem to drain the battery much at all. Typically when devices are active, my USB hub will shine a line to show that it is an active device. My bluetooth USB Adapter seems to cut off (as I see from the USB Hub light) and will only cut back on whenever I type. Overall, using the QK60 in wireless mode is very enjoyable.
