Nobody has trouble playing vidya with a Model M which is what the Smurve is modeled after. What might trip you up is that the curvature of the keyboard itself may make typing awkward depending on your keycap profile. The keycaps of Model Ms and Fs are basically Cherry profile, but they achieve an SA or MT3-like curvature through the actual curvature of the board.

nth for booba U4Ts

So I've discovered part of the reason I'm getting binding with these Typeplus stabs (completely unlubed, in case a certain someone wants to accuse me of overlubing them) is partly that the keycaps themselves are not perfectly aligned. So with the ultra-tight tolerance of the stabs this is problematic.

Does anyone know any tricks for testing the keycap holes for straightness? I know how to bend them gently, but I don't know how to decide which way they need to be bent.

>>108080891
Just stuff tissue in the stem holes of the stabs. Fuck Typeplus.

>>108080897
>Fuck Typeplus
Beginning to feel this way myself. Just seems so fucking difficult to get it not to bind, and it has done this to me on two keyboards now

Seems to be fine on spacebars though.

>>108078844
I wonder if you had a pretty bad condition one. If enough rivets fall off they do start to feel rather shallow and mushy, yeah.

In peak condition and/or restored with a screw or boltmod yields no mushiness whatsoever.

>>108080923
>Are the caps pbt?
Last time, no; this time, yes. Also tested with Keychron caps, which are PBT, and those worked fine. So I'm pretty sure the caps I'm using are a tiny bit warped.

>>108080874
Still a great tactile switch but they're getting hard to find, shame too because my experience with them is apparently only with v1s, the original "fried egg" version of the switch, and with U4Tx dampened switches that I converted into box stem U4Ts by opening the switches and removing the silicone bumpers inside. I tried to make the move to Chosfox Voyagers but across both v1 and v2, there's an odd problem where if a keycap is pressed or held on the very bottom edge, the switch won't activate. Playing some twin-stick shooter vidya like Binding of Isaac meant I would actually trip into this issue often enough to be annoying.

>>108080934
In my experience, bending PBT is kind of terrible. Good luck.

>>108080940

>>108080971
I've rescued a few keycaps with it, like the PBS MV Classic set that shipped with warped 2u caps (I could have just waited for the replacements to arrive in the mail, but I straightened them out instead).

In this case it seems like the far more sensible and safe option is to change to different stabs.

>>108080982
Thockking has them too

One thing that does bother me about CRP is that they sit higher than GMK and old Cherry dyesubs. Mostly noticable on R4. It's not always bad depending on the case but sometimes the gap is pretty noticable and distracting.

can't go wrong with Cherry clips fr fr orv thr knight v3

Ok I've been making progress on the Typeplus stabs. They're less bad than when I started. Did a couple things.

1. Worked on making the keycaps less tight. These are very tight keycaps. So I've been sticking stab stems into them and wiggling the stab stem until it comes out, which requires a pretty forceful wiggle. Doing this horizontally and vertically multiple times on all three holes, until subjectively it didn't feel as hard to do.
2. Tried the TX AP stab break-in trick that someone on Reddit mentioned, which is removing and inserting the wire over and over, maybe 20 times each side (Redditor said 100, I hope that's not true lol). Then lightly lubed the wire where it touches the housing with 105.

Just doing these two things has made a big difference. I'm not all the way to the feel of Cherry clip-ins, but I'm way closer than when I started. If you're struggling with Typeplus stabs, you should try doing this.

>>108081556
Hmmm not sure if this actually did anything. It seemed to at the time, but after letting it sit for a while and checking again it seems to feel sluggish again. I wonder what's going on?

>>108081582
How heavy is the spring in the switch? I had some issues with really light switches not returning properly.

>>108081601
60g. And the spacebar has no issues whatsoever, so I don't think it's a weight issue.

>>108081556
>>108081582
Honestly this has been my experience with all meme stabs, starts off as a positive impression, then I actually use them and notice that they have a lot of weird aspects to them (sluggishness, slight binding, generally not feeling smooth), and then I try a bunch of things to get them to feel better, before eventually desoldering the board and taking them out and replacing them. Every fucking time.

>>108081612
I might just end up doing that. But I didn't have that experience with Knight V4s. (Helps that they're very similar to Cherry)

Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place, but I'm having a problem with keys sticking.

Does the reputation of plate-mount or clip-in stabilizers being dogshit just come from Cherry? They're really convenient compared to screw-in, and some CMK or FL ESports stabs I've gotten on FL ESports boards or bought myself have been fucking amazing.

>>108082637
I've done ~6 boards with Cherry clip-ins before I tried Typeplus. I have many sets of cherry clip-ins which I bought in bulk sitting in a drawer that I can pull out if I decide I've given up on trying to make Typeplus work. I'm not allergic to Cherry clip-ins.

Haven't tried Geon wires because I thought they were unavailable, but it turns out a local vendor has them, they just don't list them on the stabilizer section of their website. Will order some and give them a shot.

No, it comes from the early clip in / plate mount clones which were pretty bad. Genuine chery clip ins or plate mounts were always well received. A lot of boards from around the early boom of the hobby came with OEM stabs with horribly imbalanced wires, bigger wire holes (meaning more rattle), and they didn't even clip in well

>>108084825
It's the other way around. Soware is one of the first custom keycap sets and was run in the mid 2000s

Does your chink keyboard comes with a birth certificate like on the IBM keyboards? I don't think so

>>108084361
You sounds like a fucking woman.

Ok I'm so close to having Typeplus solved.

So far I've done:
- filing out the plate (GDK's fault, not Typeplus's obviously)
- stretching out the keycaps until the fit isn't as tight
- breaking in the stabs where the wire inserts by removing and inserting 30+ times

Now the final step: I built the board with just the stabilized keys and a few other switches to support the plate. Then I rapidly pressed the stabilized keys as fast as I could, using pushing keystrokes and pulling keystrokes and pressing along every edge, rapidly see-sawing the keys with presses on opposite edges, just spam pressing every keycap I could along every possible edge and in every conceivable way that I could encourage it to bind. If I found a way of doing it that was more sluggish, I spammed that until it went away. After a half hour of doing this the mods are starting to feel normal for the first time.

Will I ever buy Typeplus again? Probably not. But maybe I'll use them this time.

I might reply to this post again in 30 minutes saying "wait now they're binding again" like the last time I thought I'd fixed them. We'll see.

The weights are there to remove ringing from the aluminium case, and it also feels nice to have a heavy keyboard.
If you want a stiff typing experience, just get a top-mount or a tray mount with a stiff plate.

>>108089597
This NicePBT set is somehow even tighter than Shenpo

>>108089640
Lookin' good, Anon

>>108089804
The thickness gives them a somewhat shallow sound and a glassy spacebar. Not always bad and you can build around it, I don't dislike them at all—but if anon is going for the more GMK-like sound of CRP he might not want to make that switch

>>108089640
Where'd you find the Cyrillic Shenpo set? Looks like CRP.

>>108089937
Used set off Discord.

>>108089801
I'm a bit tired of anons feeling the need to say this every time they see a cyrillic keyboard. It's like when someone needs to say every time a shade of brown reminds them of poop. That's a you problem

>>108090100
Shut up fag

>>108090100
Kinda hard to not notice when a keycap set says FAG in right in the middle of it.

>>108090175
Do you need to talk about it every fucking thread? Is that interesting?

>>108090179

That's just XMI with higher price and they are too fucking thick

>>108090527
So there's nothing bad about them in other words.

You will shit bricks when you know how the word 'police' is written in cyrillic.

>>108094323
amazing

I was planning to lube the stabs with Tribosys 3203 or 3204. I'm worried 205g0 will be too thick. I don't want viscous drag making things worse, but I do expect that friction in the stab housing is partly to blame.

Geon bad
substandard ano

I bought an F18xv2 a few months ago based on the hype, worst $550 that I spent on this hobby.

Its an extremely overrated board. The AGE (auto-Geon ejaculators) are always trying to convince you otherwise, since the brand has an irrational cult following.

The pinging sounds, the easily scratch-able anodisation, the uneven screw threads - just... Mid at best.

I got 5mm thick ass mother fucker deskmat today, so good, so much better than 3mm ones

>>108095793

For that kind of money I'd go a bit higher to get a UHK 80 and a few modules for more flexibility, or commission the dactyl anon here for something custom.

is it possible to get a mechanical keyboard for $30?

>>108095928
Plenty, though I'd float around for the hotswap options within that price range. This one claims to have hotswap switches: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Colorful-Sounding-Computer/dp/B0FGYBW71Y?refinements=p_36%3A-3500

>>108095928
You can get a lower end board in that price range easily. I bought a 65% board for like $17 dollars. You'll know it's a cheap board but it's still miles better than membrane.

Better yet, here's a full-size for $20. 3-pin hotswap. (3-pin vs. 5-pin are the two plastic pins on the bottom of a switch. If your switches come with 5 pins, nip them off with flush cutters. It won't affect their compatibility with 5-pin hotswap.)

>UHK 80
>a bit higher
The fuck, it's worse in every way as far as I can see. Why would I pay anywhere near that kind of money for a row-staggered flat piece of shit?
The only other thing worth going "higher" for would be a Svalboard, but I'm not autistic enough for that.

>or commission the dactyl anon here
I want trackballs, and I've never seen him building trackballs. I'm basically torn on the Charybdis but I'm very unsure about a thumb trackball, while the imprint seems to have decent finger ball placement.

My Neo60 is shorting on the bottom case when I use the gasket bean mounts. No protruding hotswap sockets or anything. Any change in sound profile if you put ESD tape on the bottom? It sounds way better with the gasket beans and these switches.

Also the 'Dusk' weight has no purple in it at all :(

>>108097374
There shouldn't be. I recommend just throwing some tissues in there desu

>>108097374
just cut out a piece of construction paper and put it down in there. way less destructive

Thanks dudes.

I got the Typeplus stabs feeling pretty good after a bit more break-in, carefully balancing the stab wires, and lubing with Tribosys. I really think now that they feel as good as Cherry clip-ins

But they rattle like crazy
