Just want to say if IGotSwitches is in the thread, I finally managed to reply to you, and posted my thoughts on the previous thread, sorry for taking so long Work and Personal Life went to shit for a week.

is there anything worth upgrading to coming from a topre board?

THAT'S IT, ENOUGH TALKING SHIT, POST THE KEYBOARD YOU'RE USING RIGHT NOW. And maybe tell us about it, switches, caps, layout, what you like, what you want to change, ect.

Ducky One 2
In a word. Regret, Browns are awful, with /mkg/s help I've found switches I like will probably donate the keyboard to my brothers

OK. It's a dactyl with U4Ts & MT3 serika caps. Pretty much nothing I'd want to change about it. Any new boards I build for myself will have the same physical layout.

Where to buy cheap stabilizers?

It looks fucking stupid, gonna get some black caps and cut a new 'case'.

Based switch recipient. Why not just replace the switches, or do you want an entirely different layout?

Pretty neat.

It's not hot swappable as far as I can see and honestly, as I've been unable to shake the feeling of wow, I've made a massive mistake, I really just want to start from scratch actually knowing what to buy and something I not only like but really want to keep.

Alps64 PCB with salmon alps harvested from an M0116 keyboard, and caps i picked up secondhand. i like it but was dumb and didn't realize the plate from hasu was only in aek layout, so my taihao keycaps end up being a little too small on the bottom row which looks ugly. salmon alps are also pretty nice but i still don't understand why everybody beats their dick about how good they are. kinda considering looking around for something to harvest brown alps from, since they're apparently close to topre and i like my hhkb.

Is there any vintage style, hotswappable numpad???
I've always considered an NCR80 but not having a numpad always irks me.

FL Esports FL980, /dev/tty MT3 keycaps, combination of Holy Panda X and Boba U4T. Wouldn't really change much about it besides the dependence on software for retention of the nav-key cluster in the top right and one or two hardware foibles. The default nav-key layout on FL980 is really stupid.

Might be best. What have you been looking at?

Closest you'd get is buying a GK21S, gutting it, painting it the right color, and putting it back together with the RGB off. Put some 9009 ASA or /dev/tty MT3 keycaps in it for the right look.

Going strong, fuck yeah. I love my hand-wired 3d printed split ergp autismo media board. I'll post updated here from time to time

*post updates

Logitech G512
- swapped with spring-lubed Kailh Box Pinks
- XDA Honey Milk keycaps without the japanese characters
I fucked up by buying a gamer brand keyboard so some of the keycaps are all over the place, (5.75u spacebar, non-standard right shift stabilizer length, stepped 1.75u Caps Lock). Good thing I bought XDA so I was able to swap out certain unused keycaps except for the spacebar, and the Right shift doesn't really matter with how tight BOX switches are. Seriously, it doesn't even wobble despite the width of the keycap.

bunch of fucking nerds lmao

No. You've reached the end game.

Check out the Majestouch 2SS while you're at it.

No. Try sidegrading instead to a New Model F.
