MX Blacks
Scratchy Cherry is just having character, personality in the switch. Cherry's uniquely thick nylon tops make it possible to experience this, combined with swapped springs and polycarbonate films. This was not common before. Diverse plates like PP or POM were not so common before. The scene has changed, FOR THE BETTER.Scratchy ass dry clacks is just character, it's timeless, like vests or checkered shirts. You use modern switches, and they're all well-lubed. Some of them are just lube central if you open up the housing and take a peek at what's inside. Now you put that next to a nice set of MX2A Blacks (Back in Black!), SS'd and filmed to PERFECTION.And they sing. They make themselves heard. And felt. And you remember why Cherry has endured for decades, and it's not just market complacency or boomers or mass orders for office supplies or what the fuck ever. It's timeless. It has a unique base to it, and it's retooled now with the MX2As for the next generation of clickety clackety mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.
When I want scratchy blacks I spread itching powder at KFC.

I have the Keychron Q6 Max. Having trouble finding a plastic sheet to put over the keyboard to still leave it usuable but also to protect it from crumbs, dust, etc. Any recommendations on where to look?
>>107608686I just got a generic 100% acrylic dust cover from Amazon for mine.

i've had this for a while https://www.daskeyboard.com/p/prime13-mechanical-keyboardi like the way it feels but it's a little too loud. can i get a similar mechanical feel with quieter switches?
>>107608986>>107609006I'm talking about something similar to pic related. Just a simple cover that still allows for typing. But all the ones I see are for laptop keyboards, nothing for mechanical.
>>107609284>>107608686I think anything you put on there is going to have the same problem that crumbs and shit will get under it and into the keys. Just clean the keyboard every few months and you'll be fine.
does anybody sell linux keycaps? i want to replace my windows keys (preferably with tux)
Just got my keychron v6 max or whatever it's called. Had to order a new key set. Thought this one came with see through keys. Anyone want the OG set?
>>107609409Nope, ty
>>107608686Just strip clean it every Sunday.
What's a good or at least decent budget mechanical keyboard with a numpad?
>>107609683Any Filco keyboard.
>>107609683standard keychron q series is cheap right now
>epoomaker rt100 randomly switches back and forth between mac and windows>read that this is apparently common cause the switches are bullshit>remove the switch>it now only stays in mac mode and refuses to switch even through epoomaker's softwarefucking greatlast time i buy a keyboard for aesthetic reasons
>>107610111>cheapomaker makes shit boardNo qmk/via no buy
What is the definitive silent tactile switch?
>>107610111Assemble your own aesthetic keyboard. Leave prebuilt slop behind!
>>107610327That's an easy one. It's either Haimu Whisper Silent Tactile or LICHICX Raw Silent switches. Don't bother looking for anything else, these are just S tier.
What the fuck is the F2-8X? I can't find anything on this anywhere.
Geon onlythe F1 will go down in history as the greatest release in mechanical keyboard history.Geon only
>>107610378i don't really know how to, anon
MX Blacks don't feel as stable to type on as my long pole linears do :(
>>107607437Okay so I got a q1he keychron and I want to mod it so its as close to the feel of a wooting keyboard with switches, I got some g lube too. I also heard of tmr switches are they better for gaming and is it possible to mod my keyboard to that?
