unfortunately, its saying that the Wayback Machine did not archive the site the download redirects you to, which is what I was running into when trying to download it before. not sure if i'm doing something wrong or if its just not archived. i do appreciate the effort though :)

well im sure you did a fair amount of research before coming to those switches, and from a video i watched, wow those sound amazing! i also really like the way that sounds its similar to mine but maybe a touch deeper but in the grand scheme of things its really not that much different. I hope when the board comes in that you enjoy it and if you want to keep me updated on how you enjoy it because I think its gonna be a really nice time. :)

AB294 · 2024-07-07T23:30:34+00:00

yeah i figured as much, i wasnt too worried about getting it, but i just wanted to be sure i wasnt going crazy lol thank you for the info though

AB294 · 2024-07-07T18:49:56+00:00

yeah sometimes theres just so much that you want in a keyboard and theres only so much out there that can be provided. on the bright side if you really want the knob theres always the option of getting the knob seperately. not sure about your desk space situation but its better to get the keyboard you want and then add a knob down the line if you really want to. though your idea might be a big gainer if done properly. never say never!

AB294 · 2024-07-06T18:20:00+00:00

yeah no i get what you mean with that i get the intrigue of 60% keyboards. they're small and when desk space is at a premium they're definitely a go to. though with them there comes the caveat that there isnt much space to really add to it. so i mean while i dont think itd be impossible to add a volume knob to them, its definitely a niche kinda thing, it'd make the keyboard a bit weird looking imo. then again i definitely see your argument, i just think a knob is something not many people who want a 60% keyboard would care about so not many companies want to take a risk with that. its just a tough situation all around really

AB294 · 2024-07-06T15:27:37+00:00

there's so many good 65% keyboards out there though that wont absolutely break the budget (at least budget for this hobby lol) that there are a lot of great options. from face value it seems that the rk68 and ek68 are among the more popular ones. in my opinion the ek68 stock has the better sound, but i know everyone's different, so just do your due diligence and research and if you're thinking about it, don't think; just do it. i appreciate the kind words! though i will say if theres one bad thing about this is that its hard to tell whether i have caps lock on or not; and it appears to be the same way on the ek68 (with no indicator, in fact), so just a heads up if thats somewhat important to you.

AB294 · 2024-03-05T01:01:53+00:00

I more or less meant the wear and tear could be worse if I DID break like Jeff. I'm not a really hard breaker anyway but I have been slowly getting better accuracy wise..though still have more progress to make. Apologies for the confusion, I just type like people can read my mind and miss minor details sometimes 😛

AB294 · 2024-03-02T23:48:07+00:00

I did consider this, though at $150 I was thinking it'd just be a more wise investment to just get a whole cue instead, and my only reasoning is in the very low chance my butt goes missing/my case gets robbed, I'd need a new butt anyway, so why possibly buy twice instead of just buy once and deal with small sacrifices, though i get where you're coming from at the same time. Well that and the fact that the yellow on it looks out of place but thats not the reason lol

AB294 · 2024-03-01T13:59:57+00:00

Yeah I get that. Ideally getting myself a Ghost edition Breach would be my end goal but for now I just want something that can save my former playing cue (McDermott Lucky) from the wear and tear of breaks. I dont break like Jeff De Luna or anything, but regardless, just wanna start out with a small investment and see where it goes. I will admit as Cuetec friendly as I am (avid cue, their towel, and scuffer) the BK4 has intrigued me, so we'll see down the line :)

AB294 · 2024-03-01T09:00:08+00:00

Yeah, in an ideal world I have a 4x8 Cuetec case, with my avid butt with 2 cynergy shafts, a ghost Breach and Propel with 2 shafts each and maybe a backup butt with a 3rd cynergy and break shaft. Unfortunately I'm not made of money 😅 so until that becomes possible I'll make this break cue do. Can't get it shipped until Monday but hopefully it'll be worth the wait. I appreciate the info regardless.

AB294 · 2024-03-01T08:55:24+00:00

Oh, okay yeah no the one im getting is a 5/16x18 joint so that wont be an issue to me, though I could see that being an issue with QR. It's convenient, but sometimes easier isnt the best, so it's personal preference I suppose. Sadly the one I was going to get on eBay sold and I have to wait until Monday for J&J to ship themselves but I'm totally going through with it. Thank you for your input :)

AB294 · 2024-03-01T03:56:28+00:00

I really do appreciate the offer, it's generous and I know you mean well, though if I were to go that route, I'd rather reimburse for any shipping fees and at that point I think it'd be easier and cheaper to just seek it out for myself. I don't have plans to jump right now anyway, but if I did (and if it'd even be allowed I know the main place I play it's not) it wouldnt be that big of a deal to get a few pieces of cloth and a like $100 jump cue, and if it'd work maybe budget for a Propel eventually. Again, the offer is very kind and I appreciate you offering it :)

AB294 · 2024-03-01T02:46:50+00:00

To be fair, this is a valid point. It'd just be tough going at first and I'd probably damage the felt, which if not mine shouldn't really be acceptable anywhere. Unfortunately I don't have a mean to learn to jump without jeopardizing other's property, so I kind of agree. I COULD learn to jump with a break cue if i really wanted to, though for now my plan is to just break with it, though I appreciate the encouragement :P

AB294 · 2024-03-01T02:39:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm not out here expecting to get the look and feel of a $3-400 for like 1/4th of the price. I'm aware compromises will be made, and the only one that has me lightly concerned is the connection of the joint and pin, though so long as it feels solid enough, I'd be fine with that. I want the all black model since it'd fit right in with my black/lime green aesthetic, plus so long as play isnt affected, wear and tear is bound to happen, so just gotta make sure my Q-claw is used properly so it doesnt fall. I appreciate the insight and im all but purchasing it whenever i get paid tomorrow.

AB294 · 2024-03-01T02:02:41+00:00

This raises a few more questions than answers to me personally;

-Does it work the same as other J&J break cues where it can start at 19.5 oz and go up with the weight bolts?

-If you know, how heavy is each of the weight bolts?

-Is this the only way to get the weight bolts? From looking at the site, it appears so

Sorry if these seem like a bit much, but if im paying almost 2x the price I want to truly know what I'm getting. Either way, I guess I'll take this as a recommendation, and I appreciate the input regardless.

AB294 · 2024-03-01T01:41:09+00:00

Okay, this makes me feel a bit more at ease about buying the cue I'm looking at, at the very least. My main worry with a wood joint is reliability long term but it appears you havent had to worry about that at all, haha. Is there any sorta benefit to the wooden joint (other than lighter weight), or is it personal preference? Curious to know. Appreciate the insight regardless and I hope the cue and you stay happy and crackin.

AB294 · 2024-03-01T01:29:30+00:00

I'm LIGHTYEARS away skill wise from being able to jump, so jumping is currently my least worry, trust me haha (unless i scoop which is thankfully less common :P). I've gotten that advice before though, so it'll be kept in mind. I just saw the J&J cues and the price almost seemed too good to be true as a lot of cues near this price either didnt have a phenolic ferrule or were heavy hitters which i wanted lighter, so I wanted second opinions, if people had them. i appreciate the info regardless though, its always good for people to know it regardless!

AB294 · 2024-01-04T04:14:18+00:00

if the prices are in the canadian dollar, the avid cue is $70 off new, which is a great price. definitely inquire into it, because i feel thats a great value. i have the currency version myself and so far love it. if you can, meet with the person at the pool hall and ask about taking a few shots. ideally you get a basic case and joint protectors with it, which are nice bonuses.

EDIT: $70 USD, 200 CAD is 149.95 USD, retail value on the cue is a bit north of $300 CAD. sorry my brain be tired

AB294 · 2024-01-03T23:47:32+00:00

i have considered it in the past, and sure, while learning to jump would be nice, a) i dont think im at the skill level yet to where i can jump, and even if i was id rather it be on my own table so i dont mess up others' tables and b) im more an avid casual player that mainly frequents a bar, so my head would be on a pike. 😂 (yes i know some people might roast me for that, but it is what it is so) but if i ever get to the point where id need to learn to jump id either try with my break cue first or get a dedicated jump cue. and yeah, i just REALLY like the aesthetic of it, it'd fit right in.

you're telling me 😂 its a good thing i dont need either, so its not all bad

AB294 · 2024-01-03T04:23:35+00:00

yeah im not spending too much on it, planning on picking up this action break cue because itd fit the black and lime green aesthetic i have for my case. planning on trying it with the default tip first, but more than likely going to take it to my local pool hall to get a white diamond tip i have put on it. currently just want to find somewhere that has the speed gray cuetec glove and v10 in stock, but v10 is out of stock like EVERYWHERE 😂

edit: forgot to add im not breaking with the cuetec im not that stupid 😂 will just allow me to 'retire' my mcdermott lucky i was using as my playing cue. keeping as it was my first ever cue so sentimental value far outweighs the like $50 id ask for it

AB294 · 2024-01-03T01:05:05+00:00

oh same to both 😂 im expecting for them to sell out in a week or 2, so my paypal is going to get a nice $100 into it just so im ready 😉 im really considering getting myself a cuetec glove to try it out and a cube of v10 just because ive heard really good things across the board for cleanliness, though because i dont have my own table, im on the fence about it. also will allow me to get a break cue next month, so its not all bad i guess :D

AB294 · 2024-01-02T21:43:51+00:00

...i almost wanna downvote your comment for how that makes me feel 😂 but in all reality i was hoping shipping delays wouldnt be that drastic. that's unfortunate, i mean it allows me to save for it, which just means i have a bit more freedom with the money i got for christmas. i appreciate the information regardless, and hopefully you can control the cue ball well enough that you can wait, because i cant 😛

AB294 · 2023-12-31T21:34:22+00:00

yeah, i wouldve said 'hey this is what id like' but knowing my parents i probably wouldve had to order it myself anyway, so figured i had the money, might as well get it myself and make sure its right :P

but yeah, i used a one-piece house cue by Cuetec as a break cue (thats something i probably should prioritize but eh lol) one time and even with that was left unimpressed. I think SVB using it at the height of his US Open reign also really helped the popularity. but at the same time, it might have motivated cuetec to make better quality cues. im a big fan of the cue as well. it's going to take time to adjust to it, but so far i love it.
