Speaking of loving Corsair, I’d like to replace my keyboard with a TKL, are there any with USB-C connections that also do passthrough at full speed? I think theres that Massdrop one but I think its only 2.0 speeds.

HappyCapybaraFamily posted:I too lament the paucity of keyboards with USB passthrough, but what are you considering connecting through your keyboard that would need USB 3/Thunderbolt speeds? External storage really, I might end up with a mITX build that wouldn't have much space for storage drives, and I'd probably move my photos and poo poo to a portable drive. I just can't be bothered reaching towards the back of the case

So much so that my typing at work has started to suffer because of the super slim chiclet keys on my work keyboard. I love the look of this base: Man this is nice. I've been mulling a TKL but the numpad is so useful in a bunch of programs that I use that I couldn't really commit, but this looks like a great replacement for a K70.

Put in a reservation for a GMMK Pro, gently caress it, finally a price thats a bit more palatable. Considered waiting for the ISO version but I wanna try out ANSI.

Stroop There It Is posted:This is why I've put Bobas on most keys and Box Navies on stuff like enter, capslock, and esc in my ~new GMMK~ (thanks interrodactyl!). I don't go nuts from too much clicking, and still get that tasty CLACK and super tactile kachonk from a select few. Just ordered a bunch of 62g Bobas to swap out the 68g ones on the alphas coz they're a bit tiring to type on. Oooh, putting something more substantial on Enter/Escape/etc sounds like a good shout. I'm now getting super torn up over which board I want to actually get. The GMMK Pro looks real neat (I put in a deposit), and it'd be nice to try an ANSI layout, but I just came across the CU80 and I love the price and simple design. Compare that to the price of the Mode Eighty and yeah, I'm struggling to see what the Eighty brings to the table for that price versus the CU80. If I'm gonna be dropping close to $500 on a keyboard it's gonna be on something like the Cloudline with all that nice brass and poo poo.

The Electronaut posted:Starting off by not defending the pricing on the Mode Eighty. All fair points - from what I've read about the CU80 guys, I think it's because they were getting safety certifications for their poo poo as they registered as a company, which put a delay on everything. e: I do really like the eWhite Mode Eighty tho, and the black polished one, just a shame you won't really see that part of it. ijyt fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Nov 21, 2020 |

I kind of want to know if the RGB variant of those has a different sound profile with the clear top versus the original opaque ones, I have a tester of of those and they sound lovely.

Stroop There It Is posted:I have both--clear top 62g and opaque top 68g so I could friggin tell them apart when I put the lighter ones on my alphas--and they sound pretty much the same to me. However I am also not super picky about clacks (yes with clicks though for some reason) so I may just not be as attuned to it. Zealios would be nice but honestly I'm just real tired of having the keyboard get picked up on mic and playing with sensitivity, and Bobas feel nice enough to me in terms of tactility and silence, looks like I'll order in some RGB's then! ...and hope that Rama release a TKL in their plastic housings.

Just waiting for some temporary keycaps and otherwise have my GMMK Pro finished, ended up just borrowing the grease from the stock stabs lol. Durock stabs fit with a bit of sanding of the brass plate but honestly I think I'm going to end up swapping it out for the polycarb when it's back in stock. I accidentally hosed up the finish of the brass plate and while I know I won't see most of it it still bugs me.

.Z. posted:You might need to lube the stabs more. Or it still might be a problem with improperly seated stabs. Hard to say without being able to see the stabs themselves. I ended up with both problems in my first build despite them seeming to function during my initial checks. It's weird, I've filed the brass plate sockets now and while the fit is snug it doesn't need excessive pressure, the stabs work perfectly fine without the brass plate on. Going to check with the aluminum plate. e: Alu plate has no issue, so it must be something with the brass plate, I'm just not sure what. I assume it must be the actual slot for the stabs causing some weird pressure. ijyt fucked around with this message at 17:32 on May 5, 2021 |

Turns out my GMMK Pro brass plate is warped, so that's why I was having the issue with the space bar, fun. Aluminium plate at the moment serving me well. Kind of hard to get used to the smaller size and I've already reached for the non-existant numpad. Little bit pissed at how short the USB cable is compared to my old keyboard though, but oh my goodness the Boba U4 62g's are so nice to type on. Super quiet compared to my old Cherry browns like wow. GloriousCore kind of loving sucks though, and its pretty lame that the rotary is useless if you use QMK. Was NOT able to figure out how to make any use of the Fn key using GloriousCore either so yay for that, and did not think about the Razer caps I got as a holdover not having the correct 1u and 1.75u right control, whoopsy.

Hackan Slash posted:I've got a gmmk pro and it's pretty good, but the lights on the sides turn on and off and it's distracting. Is there an option to control them separately? Core is... not great and the having all the documentation online in a dumb format isn't great either. Pretty sure that's the "hey caps lock is on". The option to turn it off is.... somewhere in Core, cannot remember where tho.

Epsilon Plus posted:I popped some switches in to meditate on the LED colors and what I want to do with the layout: That bottom board, I'm sure it's a long gone group buy but would there be anything stopping someone making the number row behave like the function row? And ideally toggling numlock make the numpad enter the number row symbols 🤔 If so, I might need to rethink looking for a 96% and go for whatever layout that is. e: though at this stage i'm inches away from learning CAD or something because any time I see a 96% or the above layout, any space saving gets immediately negated by stupidly massive frames.

so just have the slight adjustment to make to the more compact layout. And it's half the cost of the Razer and Logitech.

Opioid posted:I’m having an issue with my GMMK Pro and Bobas… it’s as if the spring isn’t strong enough to elevate the space bar after pushing it. Stabs feel smooth but maybe they’re misaligned? I had this issue but only when trying to use the brass plate, no problem on the aluminium plate, using Boba U4 and Durock stabs.
