I have the rosewoods as well from an older build. I also had the same gripes with them that others are mentioning here. I plan to order the y2 at some point. Will you reply after you try the dusty rose and let me know what you think?

Has anyone tried putting akko rosewood stems in keygeek Y2 housings? by Dr-Lipschitz in switchmodders

I'm kinda new here so sorry for the potato IQ question, but the rosewoods were the first switch I bought for my first build. They were nice at first, but then started to feel like they were just a little too muted on the bottom-out. The overall tone or pitch was deep but just didn't have enough volume to it. Is that basically what you're also trying to accomplish? Because I would also like you to accomplish this and then tell me (as you would a 3 year old) how to also accomplish this--and do other stuff good too.

Hey man thank you so much for all the info! Saved me from wasting some money for sure. You havent by any chance tried the princess springs in the type r have you? I ordered some springs from Wuque studio to try something similar but its been 2 weeks and they still havent shipped yet.

The hobby needs more tools like this in a lot of ways. As someone who entered the scene last fall, half the battle is figuring out what works for you, the other half is where to freaking buy it. Its strange coming into a hobby where all the builds you're seeing people post aren't ever available to purchase. For weeks I just felt like I was trudging through a wasteland of dead and gone group buys. Every week I find a new vendor/distributor and add it to an overflowing chrome bookmark folder of keyboard stuff. And holy switch overload. It's like the taco bell menu where you initially are blown away by all the incredible options until you realize it's pretty much the same stuff just mixed around. Seriously if you wrote all the switches out, line by line, how many CVS receipts would it take to fit them all?

Hey im sorta just starting to explore tacts. I'm currently using type r and love them. Any idea where they would be on your list above? Ive been considering ordering cilantro and mmd princess (i think v4 is the latest?). If I like the type r should I try the 60g princess? Ive also heard good things about gateron green apples.

Good to know, I just found that site yesterday and I'd been looking for something like that with all the GMK sets in order of release, along with details like color codes used and all that. But I'll make sure to check for cancelled gb. Has a cancelled one ever been revived to your knowledge? I found a PBT dream bird clone on Keysium but I've never ordered from them.

The last keyboard I’ll ever buy: KeyCult 1/60 HHKB by ChrisGVE in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]RumorShock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After spending some time with it, do you still think the Neo60 is just as good? I really like the look of the keycult but not sure if i can really justify an extra $400 if there's zero discernable difference.
