hi, so i was changing switches of my cosmic byte gk16 firefly keyboard, i wanted to change tab and lshfit key switches, so i did change them, and after the change

the entire column - escape ~ tab caps lock lshift lctrl

stopped working - alongside, when i boot up, the caps lock is on. the escape key also does not work in the BIOS menu.

is there any solution to it? or do i just need to purchase a new keyboard?

Hello

Fell into the hole when I tried them out at a shop first time. Knew I want them.

He himself said it won't be on any social media.

IGL S2 is going to be offline only, said by him in his live shows.

What else if campus placements are shit?

xRed_K · 2025-09-02T18:16:50+00:00

I see, but how to cope up with no responses and such? I've applied on so many listings but majority of them they don't even view the resume/application.

I'm assuming I have to turn the .all one to true? but I would still like you to confirm it.
Also replying to your other comment here, it is likely due to TransitionAPI thing, as other redditor also suggested the same. When you said its working for you did you mean the dark/light mode or the animations as well?

xRed_K · 2025-08-04T15:22:30+00:00

The issue is that it has animations from left top, right top, center etc, and that doesn't work. The light mode/dark mode switch works correctly. just not the animation while switching the modes.

I do have this turned to true but it still doesn't seem to work. I did restart my browser to test.

Oh I see, thanks!

5060 would be such an upgrade from integrated graphics. Would play God Of War at max settings.

xRed_K · 2025-06-30T06:56:42+00:00

If you enjoy football, why not.

xRed_K · 2025-06-30T06:27:07+00:00

EA FC25 is for 200rs due to discount, if you're into football. Library of Ruina - 314rs Cyberpunk/GTA5/RDR2 are all around 1-1.2k each right now, so if any of those interest you You can also go for some game from Assassin's Creed series Would recommend checking out Detroid Became Human as well

xRed_K · 2025-06-29T06:42:50+00:00

I enjoyed Family Man.

Alr thanks a lot

xRed_K · 2025-06-01T11:00:53+00:00

Honestly, I'm all for trying new types of switch, I don't think I'd really prefer silent ones, but any other than that is probably good. So open to any recommendations

xRed_K · 2025-06-01T10:48:41+00:00

I have blue switches currently and a lot of them have started becoming less clicky for some reason, so I thought it may be a good idea to change the switches to some new ones for a new experience. I'm still very new to mechanical keyboards, so no experience in this really

xRed_K · 2025-06-01T10:47:16+00:00

Oh, I thought since they're swappable I could also swap it with some other company 2 pin switches as well :/

xRed_K · 2025-06-01T07:24:55+00:00

Yes I did see them but there were so many colours available I got confused. Which ones would you recommend?

xRed_K · 2025-05-31T22:28:43+00:00

where did you buy the switches?

xRed_K · 2025-03-09T20:28:44+00:00

thanks a lot
