lubing AND silencing, educate yourself.

Anyone has experience lubing choc reds? I tried but I can barely feel the difference. Used trybosys... 3204? The one that's recommended for linears, anyway.
I can't really know if I put too much or too little or what. I tried putting more but that switch just started feeling like it was almost sticking, and basically even worse than unlubed, so after that I kept to using less lube.
I did put it on all moving parts I could identify and the spring and all. Honestly I have no idea what could have gone wrong, since all youtube videos are pretty vague and, well, I did try to follow their main advice.

>Budget
absolute cheapest available
>Location (continent at least)
canada
>Preferred switch type
unknown. I like blues but need something quieter
>Layout
ansi qwerty
>Form factor
tkl + external numpad or fullsize
>Backlight
whatever

>spring
why would yo lube the fucking spring? its not a piston you mother fucking reddit user.

Attached: 1561773805091.gif (300x200, 1.57M)

It's to get rid of the pinging noise from the spring reverberating after the key is pressed. Retard.

>spring reverberating
wtf are you talking? the spring has barley any tension to even reverberate, you mother fucker reddit user! don't tell me you bought titanium springs! with 400gram actuation force! don't fucking tell me you massive faggot!

how is the plum electro capacitive switch?

Just get a 65% board if you don't care to have the F row.

T1 switches with 65g and 62g variants are available now from somewhere that isn't alibaba. Doesn't have the blue stem though.

Literally this is pure garbage.
What a hipster puke looking plastic
also kys for the arrows position,anyone who owns kb with that arrow pattern should off themselves right fucking now.

All products are cost-cutting in capitalism you fucking brainlet.
If you think your kb is superior to mine you're delusional.
Only in the abstract, in pragmatic, real world terms and actual results, your RPG stats of your keyboard does fuck all.
Difference is that you don't know this, you dont' know that you're invested in this microworld as a way to project your tiny status.
As long as my kb does the job I'll look for aesthetics, and I bet my kb destroys yours in that.
So be a good goy and buy 200$ kbs to have a sense of imaginary superiority because you won't get it elsewhere, that's how much of a loser you are.

You're a brainlet, you really are.
I know what you're trying to say but goddamn you're a fucking brainlet.
I doubt you'll understand why if I don't explain it to you, that's how brainlets work.

>literally nothing
Empty post, I literally embarrassed you, you only post how you would like me to be.
On the otherhand I literally show how you really are, based on what you posted.
Insults only work when they hit home, Im hitting your bedroom, you're on the other side of the universe.
I'm surrounded by brainlets.

>I know what you're trying to say
yeah, shut the fuck up you cretin

Ok let me shame you then.
Your tiny brain says: "he posted 'you jelly' so therefore he cares about being better (status)".

Only that zoomers like you don't know that the cringy meme "u jelly" was a tiredsome meme some years ago where everyone kept posting this in various boards about anything til it became just a filer word.

You're the type of the brainlet to be also so fuckign dishonest and a garbage human being to say "asshole" means literally anal cavity when used endearingly or just as a empty insult.

There are literally countless words we don't literally use them to their exact definition, slang, etc.

The fact you posted a screenshot and you thought that was a gotcha shows volumes of your stupidity, and the fact you called me a cretin instead even showing a curisiotity (aggressive and elitist, to show how much of a brainlet I supposedly was) showed how much afraid you were, wanted to avoid the explanation, well now you got it.
Feel embarassed and ashamed you fucking absolute brainlet.
>I-idon't care
HAHAHAHAHAH
You're naked, there's nothing to say, you exposed for your stupidity, I don't care even if no one else reads this besides you, I'll enjoy the feeling that you got cog diss'd into ratioanlizing a defense after this.

lurk more

GET FUCKED

I know that font on top, are you unironically trying to gloat about some cheap ass chink board like the RK61?

You lack awareness of any kind.
You're trying so hard to fit in here.
Us 4channers are really a skrt clvb haha :)

What a pathetic display, kys zoomer.

>gloat

it shows your thought process.
it shows that you indeed post these things as a status thing, not to simply share excitement, albeit with cheaper products.
textbook case of projection.

Just be mindful of your thoughts, think again, why did you mind dug up the word "gloat", and why do you think that.
It will teach things about yourself.
Not everyone is a status starved person that thinks posting expensive equipment will elevate him in the their fantasy league hierarchy.
pathetic to the extreme.

You can keep embarrassing yourself you dumb underage newfag, I'm done with you

Admit it.

Rec me a full keyboard but one that doesn't have dead/empty space.

I can afford up to 200$

Vortex Tab 90 or Tab 90m

Attached: Vortex Tab 90 and Tab 90m.jpg (1080x1080, 210K)

just bought some SA pbt keycaps what am I in for?

some comfy typing

Is this a fucking joke

what are the differences between 90 and 90m

one is wireless with a plastic case, while the other isn't and has a full metal case

what do you rec out of those two

Shouldn't it be obvious? If you want wireless get the 90, if not get 90m.

basically they're both the same keyboard. The wireless one still has a steel plate on the inside to give it more rigidity. the full metal one will feel more solid, but I think the wireless one is actually heavier because of the batteries. if you do get the wireless one you can still plug it in an use it like a normal keyboard. I like the looks of the plastic case better. a full metal case is a meme really

Just built my first board, with 67g zealios, and good lord the difference is incredible. My old cherry browns feel like mashed potatoes now.

No shit switches 1.5 times heavier than browns would feel different.

>your height
>how do you perceive the pressure difference between brow/red (45cn) and black/clear(60cn)

sold my zz96 with mod-ms, looking for new board. bought a wasd code v3, ended up returning it due to being complete dogshit for the price.
currently stuck between buying a fc750r or a mf87. really just miss the weight and the solidness of the zz. also considering building a kbd75.

What is this shit exactly? It's all a bunch of mumbo jumbo buzz words and tard speak describing it on drop. Are they fuckin retarded writing that type of description? $42 for a keyboard is all I think I understood.

I've got some bad news for you

No worries user, all sorted.

Not necessarily, how about yourself? Said it was all sorted, what, you don't get brain farts once in a while?

It literally says keycap set in the title and the description is cheesy but there's nothing confusing about it.

The best keyboard i have used is the legendairy Logitech K120.

I used mechanical keyboards before, then went to chiplets(microsoft keyboard in pic) to see if i can get faster travel time. But had the lack of interaction with the keyboard.

Finally because the battery was empty of the Microsoft keyboard i had to use the K120 i had laying around from some project.

Fucking love it. I will use it from now on.....

Fuck all other keyboards. The K120 is your master.

So I got a new job, and I get to work a lot from home on projects, and I decided to buy a keyboard.
It's my first mechanical purchase, and since I am living in a very small place, I wanted a smaller formfactor. Since I cannot tell the difference between a high and low end one, I am going for pic related (Drevo Calibur V2), mostly for price and shape.
Does any of you have any opinions on it?

Some shitty mech with browns

I was looking at the Durgod K320 with reds.

floating keys on the vortex with limited bezel sucks, you scratch your fingers on the underside of the keys if you run your hand over it

Like how is that even a problem?

Idk i just like rubbing my fingers on my keyboard case when I'm thinking and it pissed me off
