Sexy Mechanical Keyboard Thread

Fantec Maxfit 67 with AKKO pink lubed switches and "Dracula's Castle" keycaps.

Chomiq · Aug 23, 2022

Switched back from SA Horizon keyset to GMK BoW. Extra R1 keys used to fill the ducky media key row.

Gaming wise I think it's somehow better.

This is a sexy unboxing and one of the new style keyboards you assemble to your own needs. Built like a tank, it looks expensive.

How much?! $345 + $75 for shipping. JFK, and it's not even full layout.

This is big-time sexy. I've played a few old-time FPS games quite well with this monster...

Ah, my daily drivers...lovely as always. :love:

Cool keycaps! Always neat to see these in the wild.

This is a 15 year old Cherry G80 - 3000 w/cherry Blue keys. It doesn't feel heavy and it's a lightweight build. It is the best feeling cherry blues I've
ever tried - very smooth and light on the keys. My daily driver all of those years.

Lovely! Did yours come stock with the alternate legends?

Yes, it came that way.

Dude, for me the beauty is in the function and not the form. A plain jane model M to me is one of the most beautiful things in the world. :toast:

This behemoth is being made:

Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project - Page 12 - deskthority

You could probably bash someone's head in with the final board.

Switch preview:

It will most likely end up being expensive AF, as their Model F repro boards start at $355.

SamirD · Oct 12, 2022

That would be a really nice board once they get all the quirks out of it. Their 'kishsaver' project was many years behind schedule and had a lot of quality issues from the stuff I skimmed. That dude made over $120k off the community to turn these projects into a full time job--too bad he's not the nicest person...

More of the new "Transparent" keyboards...

GamerGuy · Oct 31, 2022

Went with a set of 'Ice Crystal' transparent keycaps for my Keychron K2 (with aluminum case), which I'll be using as my portable keyboard for my Legion 5 Pro laptop. I simply can't game on the mushy membrane keyboard on the laptop. Will also be using a Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed as my gaming mouse.

Update time:

Somehow GMK decided to simplify their legends with recent sets.

Drop + MiTo GMK Serenity purchased on sale for $90. Sadly shipping was another $20 and then usual slap from the customs which came down to another $25.

Is something not right about that space bar?

Upside down

Works the same, but it's a bit more ergonomic.

TheDeeGee · Dec 4, 2022

After roughly 10 years i replaced my Logitech G710+, which slowly started to show more defects (LEDs fading and breaking) with the Keychron Q6 Barebone ISO (Knob).

It's using lubed Cherry MX Silent Red switches, and Keychron's Double-Shot PBT Cherry WOB Keycap set.

I may buy a second keycap set in the future and go with the look below, but all black was the look i'm after.

erocker · Feb 21, 2023

The usb port on my Fantec 67 seems to be failing so I went searching for a kit. Found this Tester 84 for fifty bucks. Threw some Akko jelly pink switches on it and some caps I got form Drop on sale and I'm very happy with it. It's definitely not lightweight, very solid and typing on it is lovely.

Arrived today:

Wooting Two HE

Decided to stick with the stock keycaps for now. I'll probably turn RGB off.

Thomas is so cool--he actually frequents geekhack so pretty awesome to talk to him 'in person'.

Very down to earth dude.

tabascosauz · Aug 28, 2023

Still going strong in 2023......combo of DSA Dolch and Hyperfuse is one of my favourites but I couldn't resist swapping back to 9009.

Veseleil · Aug 28, 2023

Pulled the trigger on this one:

SA keycaps and a Flamingo switches. Now the waiting game...

tabascosauz · Apr 4, 2024

Never could I have imagined myself loving a light colorway that ISN'T classic beige, or anything with white alphas (after the Hyperfuse fiasco), but here we are

Icon mods look quite similar to my ol Modern Selectric SA, nice.

Wooting 60 HE+ module with screw in stabilisers, Lekker L60 switches I hand lubed, CNC aluminium burgundy red Tofu 60 Redux case with brass weight, silicone dampening and polycarb plate, stronger springs for the weight of the jellykey space bar. Taped and burgermodded the PCB. Hall effect magnetic switches.

Turbulent Labs leather/suede wrist rest.

Steelseries prismcaps pudding white PBT keycaps.

Old keyboard (60HE non + plate mount stabilizer w/plastic case) being donated to a friend.

Also have a Razer Huntsman Elite laying around. Magnetic RGB wrist rest was nice.
