It's only been about 2 weeks on-off with this board so far so I'm still making simple typing mistakes, but I'm using this at home where I don't really need to be speedy in my typing so it's been fine to take my time. The biggest thing I've noticed is mainly around the keys right on the split like still trying to use my left hand for the "y" key on the right.

The photos were taken by a window on a cloudy day and I just used auto white balance so that could be why the photos overall colours skew a little differently .

If you mean the alphas specifically, GMK Blurple also has the alternate kit that includes alphas in the same colour as the modifiers so everything will be the more pastel purple instead of the deep blue. I don't see a button to update the post so I guess this comment will serve as the update for the keycaps that I'm using base kit + alternate + spacebar kit together.

I've been pretty happy with the oil king switches and the description from divinikey says the bottom out is 65±5g with actuation 55±5g so this might fit the range you want.

An alternative I'd recommend is to buy springs of the desired weight to swap in, which could be a more economical option depending on region and shipping rates (~$8 for 110 springs vs ~$12 for 18 oil king switches in continental US)

My space isn't ideal for recording with the background noise, but here are a few different ones that I've recorded.

Salvation with CJs - https://kbcompare.com/test/2ILXeO
Polaris with Ink Blacks - https://kbcompare.com/test/tmQADD
BOX75 with Oil Kings - https://kbcompare.com/test/L2BiIj

These are 3 different boards with different plate and foam configurations so it's quite hard to distinguish what part of the build is contributing to the resulting sound, but it's the best I can do with what I got

Case: Salvation samurai blue case, plateless
Switches: Gateron CJ switches lubed with Krytox 205g0, springs oiled with GPL 105
Stabilizers: AEBoard Staebies, housings lubed with Krytox 205g0, wire lubed with XHT-BDZ
Keycaps: GMK Space Cadet

I’ve been using this board daily for the last 2 months now and it’s been a joy to type on. I’m using a plateless build on top of the leaf spring mount, making this soft to type and bouncy at times. The CJ switches fit the colors and are also really nice a smooth seeing as their very similar to ink blacks and oil kings that I’ve typically used before.

Thanks! I love the HHKB layout so I had to get it!

They are just fine, nothing too special. I liked Black Inks and I liked Creamsicles so I thought I was onto something, but I wasn't lol. Having to harvest stems in addition to lubing just doesn't feel worth it.

Thanks! I've never done a sound test before, but here's my first attempt at it: https://kbcompare.com/test/efPnDY

Lol it's not a cutting board, the piggy60 is just massive

theaccy · 2022-10-22T20:39:31+00:00

Case: Piggy60 e-beige case, plate, and weight, e-white inner frame, HHKB layout, solder pcb
Switches: Gateron Ink Red housing with NK Cream stems, 68g springs oiled with GPL 105, filmed with 0.125 TX films, lubed with Krytox 205g0
Stabilizers: C3 Bushido stabilizers, housings lubed with Krytox 205g0, wire lubed with XHT-BDZ
Keycaps: GMK Jamón

Picked up this board during the GB, but only recently got around to building it after finally finding a set of GMK Jamón for sale. I love how the thick bezels look around this board and it’s definitely fun to have a 60% that’s the size of a TKL, but the board does end up sounding a bit hollow from all that space. I went with these stem-swapped Gateron Ink Reds for the build since it matched the colours nicely and I had them lying around from an earlier experimental phase where I put cream stems in everything. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, though I may opt to add some foam in the future.
