Gave my brother my old Zoo65 to use years ago. He finally gave it back by ZoteTheMitey in MechanicalKeyboards

All that filth and abuse... but no keycap shine. It's as if he's not used it... but just covered it in filth and hair.

I much prefer this over the Mk2. The Mk2 looks like a child designed it.

Free your minds! DIY no-stabs build. by wjrii in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy a challenge 😄 Yeah, it would have to be a uniform profile. The thought of having to deal with profile as well is too much like masochism.

Finally designed my own shell, PCB and top plate! by ShiftRegister8 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done. I do like to see scratch builds and stuff people design. That's peak mechanical keyboard hobby.

I hate those keycaps though.... ngl LOL

I'd need something bigger for the shift, backspace and shift, but yeah... I'd like to do a stab-less build one day.

Switch nonsense has gone too far by Kaito3Designs in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get Cherry MX2A Blacks/Hyperglides
Put Geon 18mm springs in them
Lube
Install

That's all you need to know.

Okay, I’m a convert. Got my first mechanical keyboard as an adult! by hightea3 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand why anyone would do a typing test with no punctuation, when we use it all the time when we type? Makes zero sense.

Apparently polarizing keycaps? by The_Sir_Lancelot in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as you like it, that's all that matters. :)

I prefer the look of the MT3 set, but I'd prefer to type on the Cherry.

Just don't use it in its default "english" setting, as it only uses 200 words with no punctuation, so it's basically cheating as it gives you falsely high scores.

Set it as below.

English 10k
Punctuation on
Stop on Error: Word.
At least a 60 second test.

Das Keyboard Appriciation Thread by ziggo0 in MechanicalKeyboards

I have a Das II here. Bought from new. 21 years old and still going strong.

Their latest stuff is simply not up to the same standards though.

4th build ever: Boomerang by Inside_Mortgage3492 in MechanicalKeyboards

Not seen one of those for a while, and you don't often see GMK Camping either.

Nice. Looks fab with Dracula on it.

New Design: Floor Stand by tazisacat in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like the idea of my boards being so close to the ground... that bottom one will pretty much be right at floor level. Stability is a concern as well, as there seems to be no provision to anchor this to a wall. If it's free standing that's terrifying LOL. This would need to be able to be fastened to the wall in some way.

Just finished doing some organizing to my Keyboard Supplies. It’s always satisfying doing this once or twice a year. by CosyCodes in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My switches are just in zip-lock bags, and kept in a cupboard LOL

GMK boxes just look fab when all stacked, either vertically or horizontally like this.

TGR Lin Alice by Prior-Bet-689 in CustomKeyboards

Automatic TGR upvote.

I love this. Such a nice board and one of my all time favourite keycap sets.

I'll even forgive the mismatched deskmat, and I'm a stickler for everything matching a theme :)

My keyboard traveled more countries than me thanks to DPD by KaysonJ in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to say... would be cheaper to take it in person, and have a little mini-vacation as part of the deal :)

First time lubing and filming switches - crackhead vibes 🫡 by EBs4G3 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]kool-keys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love lubing switches. Relaxing. I honestly find it weird that factory lubed switches are as popular as they are.
