I tried the new ACER keyboard... (So You Don't Have To)

I tried the Acer Predator Aethon 700 - the "coolest" Keyboard on Amazon... It can change from clicky to linear with the press of a knob - but there's one problem... IT SUCKS.

I was about to say the same thing! I can hear a slight extra click (or something that sounds like really bad spring ping?) on the clicky setting. These clickies sound so linear, but like shitty linears. It's weird.

@phil21s Ай бұрын

@@fungalgrowth You're not wrong, but most keyboards nowadays appear to be in the 60-75% range. Even then, a lot of group-buy only TKL boards only get their numpad counterpart way later, or not both of them are available at the same time. Plus they are often larger together than a simple full-size. Anyway, the whole point of this hobby is customization, but somehow for people who like full-size boards the options are somehow more limited in this space. Feels sad.

I don't think those are even double shot keycaps, they just look like translucent keycaps sprayed with a layer of paint that eventually wears off with usage and you can no longer see the legends. Its similar to the keys on laptops with keyboard lighting. The legends on actual double shot keycaps will virtually never wear off as they have 2 layers of plastic to separate between the keycaps and the legends on them.

Hello HipyoTech & community, I could use a little bit of help. Well a lot actually... After a long while, the Razer Cyanosa Chroma that I currently use, is slowly starting to show its age and I started thinking about replacing it. I'm slightly leaning towards the budget side of things and was thinking about getting the Akko 5075s ( barebones) as the foundation. For switches, since i dislike clicky sounding switches, after a lot of searching I stumbled upon WS Morandi linear switches. Apparently they are good? As for keycaps I have literally zero idea. Preferably plain black or monochrome (pudding?) so they fit with the blackout theme of my Lian Li Dan case A4-H20. I have literally zero experience with building keyboards and I don't even know if the switches and the board are compatible. I can only hope for some pointers and recommendations. Best regards George

Would really love a review of two epomaker models the TH80 Pro v2 and the Shadow-S Via. I tried the Epomaker x Aula F75 which says it's gasket mounted and 5 layers of foam, but the switches couldn't even be mounted properly because of those layers. The shadow via s has a similar design, I think? I currently have your keycaps and ice latte switches in the th80 pro and it is very smooth, but it has the knob and I don't really care about it. The th80 pro v2 did away with the knob but included a lcd screen. I just don't know if the v2 works as well as the 80 (v1) or if the Shadow s via is the better choice.

The underside of the original keycaps appear to be one homogeneous plastic, indicating it's most likely painted on, and the legends etched off the paint, instead of double-shot printing. These caps are not well known for durability, and over time the paint can wear off essentially leaving splotches of clear plastic underneath the paint.
