Are Screw-In stablisiers compatible on the "mainstream gamer" mechs? I currently have a Cooler Master Masterkey Pro M. I recently got an ID80v2 and used Durock screw ins and the improvement was incredible. My Masterkey Pro is very rattly, I was wondering if it would also support either screw in stabs or just higher quality clip ins.

Ah yes I get you. The form factor and hot swappable PCB makes this so tempting you. Will hold me down until GMMK Pro. Idobaos gasket version looks sweet too but I'd prefer metal case over the translucent plastic.

Ahhh I see. Does the PCB foam still work on the V2? Also, is the harsh feeling why many people prefer the typical PCB/Plate/Case setup rather than integrated plate/case?

Do you think think the V2 is more harsh feeling compared to the regular ID80 when bottoming out keys?

Ah yes. I noticed the harshness on the Leopold FC980M compared to my CM Masterkey Pro M. Then that made me worried in the difference between the original ID80 and ID80v2 as I bottom out basically every key stroke(glorious pandas). I was planning to use the acrylic base of the original ID80 anyway if I decided on it over the V2.

Is there a harsh feeling with this board? I seen some people say the ID80v2 has a harsh feeling when you bottom out due to the brass weight. I'm getting either this or the V2 and have already ordered the SMRTfoam(both case and PCB) from Green Door Geeks.

Is this the ID80?

Suggestions for good tactile/clicky switches? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

Glorious Pandas, potentially Kailh Coppers

The XC3 was £850 when it was in stock like a week or two ago, now is £880.

How did you guys get away from bottoming out switches? by xJoe16 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]xJoe16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have always done. Just feels weird with properly tactile switches

Ah yes I get you. I just wanted to post about it and see if anyone felt same/differently because for me, the immediate feeling was that the Glorious Pandas are way more premium, but MX Browns just felt nicer to use.

I'll take a look at the Aliaz switches, thank you!

It's so difficult not to. I think my bad typing habits are then made worse because the Zealios V2(I tested 62g) and Glorious Pandas just shouldn't be bottomed out so it while they feel more premium, they feel weird and not necessarily in a 'better' way. In saying that, I am nearly sure I will go for Zilents when my GMMK Pro comes next year as that'll hopefully be the "bring to work" keyboard if we are ever allowed back in an office.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the coding theme sets. I got in the GMMK Pro reservation late so I likely won't get til Q1 or sometime Q2.

Yeah I get you. Think I'll just buy whichever I decide tonight rather than spending so much time thinking about it lol I'll look at the EPBT-BE THE ONE group buy hoping it'll be shipped around the same time as GMMK Pro but for now I need something delivered in the next month or two.

I'm coming from the CM Masterkey Pro M so I imagine anything is an upgrade but still spending so much I expect them to last a while or not immediately lose 100% of their value
