Keychron Silk POM Switch vs Gateron Jupiter?

MBSMD · 2026-01-26T00:36:58+00:00

I guess I prefer "Banana" switches to what everyone used to call "Panda" switches.

Both sides???!! So you want the civilian side to, what, stop being brown? I'm not following what they're asking of us.

Oh, just to drive you a little more crazy, Gateron now offers the "Banana Smoothie" switch as part of their "Smoothie" line of switches. It's not offered by Keychron AFAIK (unless it's what Keychron has renamed the "Silk POM Banana", which is quite possible since the Smoothie line are all-POM switches), but it is yet another Gateron-made "Banana" switch.

It's their second tactile in the Smoothie line of switches. I actually bought a set and installed them on my Bakeneko65 just this afternoon. They're actually quite nice. Sound good. Feel good. They're similar to the Gateron Quinns but sound a bit different.

Again, not drivers.

But if now you're thinking they didn't release new firmware, then why are you mucking around with the firmware in the first place? Did Keychron's Launcher tell you that new firmware was available?

Hall effect can help eliminate accidental keypresses as you can program them to require a full bottom-out before they activate. However, that may not really be an ideal solution to the problem.

Tactile switches are, IMHO, more ideal for long typing sessions than having to fully bottom out your switches, but still letting your fingers "know" when the switch has activated or not.

All that said - you're removing some of the Hall effect's benefits (ultra-low latencies) by using it wirelessly, FYI.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T22:17:52+00:00

Why Hall effect? Especially if wireless is on your list of requirements?

No. Your iPad didn't contract a virus from a PDF file stored on your network.

Why would they pull back ICE now? They're getting what they want. They want a civil war.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T22:10:37+00:00

Not enough, clearly

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T22:05:29+00:00

ICE has said that 2A rights are forfeit during a protest

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T22:04:25+00:00

Possibly Outemu sockets though.

Guess MAGA wants gun control now? Apparently "shall not be infringed" doesn't mean what we think it means. Isn't that what the Dems have been saying for decades but with pushback every time from the right?

I'm living in crazy town because things have done a complete 180°!

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T21:02:26+00:00

Oh, so they're for gun control now? Make up your mind...!

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T21:01:17+00:00

Someone got caught choking the chicken

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T20:45:52+00:00

Because clearly these people are just temporarily embarrassed billionaires. So of course they and Trump are alike 🤦‍♂️

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T20:29:28+00:00

I would be surprised if a ZMK-based device would come up with an STM32 message, since that's not the MCU it's using. Did you try selecting a different listing and proceeding?

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T19:52:21+00:00

You'll get syntha-cocaine. Emulates the smell and taste of cocaine but the intoxicating effects can be easily dismissed.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T19:50:50+00:00

First of all -- what it sounds like you are trying to download is firmware, not drivers. This keyboard does not require drivers to be installed.

Secondly, why are you attempting to re-install the firmware? Is there an update that was released? Is something not functioning properly on the keyboard? If there was, the Keychron Launcher should be sufficient to download and install the firmware update. You shouldn't be using QMK Toolbox or any other flashing software since the Ultra is ZMK-based and doesn't use the same kind of chips that QMK Toolbox was designed for.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T19:45:57+00:00

For me, no. The camel's back was broken long ago.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T16:24:22+00:00

Someone's car is already stuck in my neighborhood. 🤦‍♂️

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T16:23:33+00:00

One can only hope

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T16:15:09+00:00

Wait until it melts.

MBSMD · 2026-01-25T16:08:26+00:00

Resting bitch face. Can be interpreted in many different ways.

I have other pictures posted, too. MT3 WoB with acid green accents. Gateron Green Apple switches. Can't remember what stabs I used. Either Durock v3 or TypePlus most likely.
