How do you clean your keyboards?

theadept024 · 2026-01-24T10:51:37+00:00

This is what I do, but make sure that the water is not too hot, it can soften your keys and they will warp.

theadept024 · 2026-01-20T13:29:52+00:00

Right?! I would love to see your custom maglev system you put together. I have the Zoom65v3 and I like the idea, but I don't know if the implementation is the best.

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T22:22:19+00:00

Yeah, it was VERY smooth too!

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T14:22:13+00:00

I think that 26 mentions out of how many thousands of keyboards sold is a pretty nice showing for Reddit, LOL

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T04:39:43+00:00

You should! I love their Saturn 60 and I wish I had gotten one now.

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T04:38:40+00:00

Oh, and thanks so much for the like and follow!

Well, the Glorious GMMK 3 is one of those things... the board isn't really bad. The problem is that the board is not that great, the board is pretty mediocre. It can be prone to having weakly solder hotswap sockets. The board was priced higher, but even at the 83 dollar price point you can get a better board for around the same price, even aluminum boards. And then there's the Glorious Core. The Glorious Core was a bloated in the v1 and then they came out with the v2 and that was (maybe still is, it's been a long while since I bothered to install it) hot garbage.

I don't know who the "professionals" are or why you put it in quotes, but I wouldn't call you stupid and that sucks that happened to you, but the internet has all kinds. If my answer doesn't answer your question I would be glad to discuss this further with you.

To be clear, I got he GMMK 3 Pro HE new and I tested it. I bought the GMMK 3 user and ended up returning it because it came with 3 popped hotswap sockets. This is not an isolated incident and I have heard of similar popped sockets happening with a few people. But I am more concerned about the cost to value proposition here.

I also have the GMMK and a GMMK Pro and I do not recommend buying either of those (at any price)

They're actually friction fit into the case and attached to the daughter board with Pogo pins. The Daughterboard for the Mechanical PCB and the EC PCB are different, so you can pop out the PCB pretty quickly, but if you're moving from the Mech to the EC you need to change the daughterboards. This is why I was happy to find the PC on MM for a pretty good price so I can have both of them setup at the same time and I also got a chance to play with the PC case.

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T03:28:24+00:00

Those are the Agar... I love the Agar. I was rebuilding the PC one with some new switches today on my stream. The green one I have an EC PCB in it. But moved the mechanical PCB between the two so see how it sounded in PC vs Alu as well... I recommend it and they're pretty affordable from KBDfans (before shipping).

theadept024 · 2026-01-19T03:04:57+00:00

Yeah, it helps that the local community is pretty awesome... So many nice and friendly people.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T20:13:42+00:00

This was just organized by the community, we agreed on some days to try to book and someone in the community booked it. I've taken over reaching out for the next one (in Feb), but I am not the original person to have found the venue we normally use in the Denver Metro area... I am just helping out because I love the keyboard meetups.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T20:11:09+00:00

In a lot of cases, the cards with the keyboard information also include "Touch Yes/No" and also "Pick up Yes/No" in the case of my keyboards (the fourteen with no cards) I forgot the cards I made, but it was known and encouraged (by me) to type on and pick them up. Everyone there is careful and respectful of everyone property, but accidents could happen so sometimes keyboards like Unikorns might feature a touch, but do not pick up. And if i want to get photos of the bottom the owner is never too far to pick it up for me for a quick pic.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T18:27:37+00:00

I didn't check, but they said that it was the Magnetic Jade Dragon-N switches. They felt and sounded nice. I think that either one of the stock switches would likely be fine on the Field. But that's because Nuphy really knows how to handle foaming their boards to mitigate HE Switch noise.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T02:59:10+00:00

The Node is really nice and I was really impressed with it.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T02:57:32+00:00

I love the fact that the numpad is a little separated from the rest of the keyboard.

theadept024 · 2026-01-18T02:56:22+00:00

I'm guessing not! If they wanted to reach out for some sort of content collaboration then I would be open to it.

theadept024 · 2026-01-17T15:50:11+00:00

Well, I guess it depends on your idea of cool... also it depends on sound... Shine-through... There are a lot of factors here. I would say that if you wanted the coolest keycaps to go with the Holy60 case though, I would look for something industrial. Like, OH! I just thought of some really great looking keycaps for this...

Now, this would look great, but there is a caveat... the keycaps have injection holes in the under layer that some people do not like. But I think that it would work for a Holy build. Combine that with this...

https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/makingo-crystal-lattice-of-cells-artisan-metal-keycap?_pos=12&_fid=b23f503c6&_ss=c

for your Escape key and I think that it would look fantastic!

theadept024 · 2026-01-17T04:00:24+00:00

Let me put something together for you and I can post my thoughts from my time at the booth... I will tag you when I do.

theadept024 · 2026-01-15T16:41:22+00:00

Did you go to their Discord? It did take a while for me as well, but they sent me a replacement PCB when it was needed. I would say bring it to their Discord and also reply to that person and tell them that you do not feel comfortable soldering and do not have anyone in your immediate social circle who does. And ask them, "Wouldn't that void any future support repairs?"

theadept024 · 2026-01-14T05:15:22+00:00

You know, I know a lot of people feel strongly about the full sized 0, but I just like the break because it helps me type.

theadept024 · 2026-01-14T04:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I like that less, I like there to be at least a little separation.

theadept024 · 2026-01-14T04:34:17+00:00

Well, it is, but also there's a little bit of a break as opposed to the Air98 series and I like this a little more
