[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[SEvsNK]

Can explain alu mount typing?

The feedback it gives when you type. Its a feel where plastic base of my akkos, logis and razers are not able to produce.

Well lubed switches and an sturdy alu base makes a good combo.

I want something damn quiet in typing?

I saw some of the videos still need to do a lot of work, are there any decent and good ones that can work off shelve and good to last or serviceable?

Needs number pad and white backlight. Wired

Don't think you will ever find one that is silent straight out of the box, will need to customise one. At least need to change the switches to silent type on your own. Can consider keychron v5 or akko 3098b if you need numpad but not full size kb.

Maybe contact mash if possible to test those silent switches, saw on their site they are selling gateron silent switches.

Gazzew silent switches are pretty good too, don't know where locally can test though.

What does the weight 50g 60g means? Higher number more resistance?

What does the weight 50g 60g means? Higher number more resistance?

Higher means needs more force/effort to press the key to register a key press loh.

Usually written in this format for the spec.
50g + 5g
Actuation force + bottom out force

Definitely has a difference. I got fatigued easily using those 70g switches lol.... swapped some of them to lighter switches.

 

[ronnie_gogs]

Thats why is a custom keyboard. Almost everything can be customized to your liking. I have swapped springs, stems, filmed, lubed to make totally Frankenstein switches made up of parts from different switches. The rabbit hole is pretty big.

You can get a hotswap variant of RK96/RK100 or some other pre-built with that 96% layout, got num pad.

Then swap out the stock switches with silent ones. The only work you need to do is to remove keycaps, replace switches and put back the keycaps, good to go. Don't have to build up from scratch if you don't have a lot of time.

Can go to shops like mecha or mash and try try their switches there then go out buy yourself.

 

[ronnie_gogs]

Be careful to go to shops like mecha. If you get infected with mech keyboard GAS and end up with joining multiple group buys with 1 year wait times. Scrolling geekhack for more GMK sets and arguing with someone online about why replacing the stem of cream makes it the best switch and not a overpriced set which is almost twice the price of a normal keyboard for just the switches.

Generally it is silly yo wait 1 year for key caps. Just get those clones. Also og is worst of quality than clones

My longest wait for a keyboard.. HMKB 3.5 years.

HMKB https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106072.200

I didnt even expect the keyboard to ever come. Suddenly one day after 3.5 years it shows up in my door step.

I probably have 8-10 GMK sets. Didnt count how many GMK. Longest was a year wait. I am recovering from GAS now. No sets ordered in the past 1 year.

Really waste of time wait 1 year and it's abs keycap too.... won't even last if you use it daily.
