    Okay, I have now done the spring swap on my GON 60% and my Phantom TKL! Both are the same layout! All Green switches have been changed to 100g and all the blue switches are now 65g!

    2016-10-19 21.05.54.jpg

    Lubed up all the switch housings. I just lubed which the slider comes in contact with the sides as my test switches went silent if I did all the other lube points...

    Springs added!

    Stems and Keycaps back onto the GON! Got to wait a little longer for the keycaps for the Phantom to turn up!

    Nicely done :)

  3. I am currently running a 4k monitor with freesync, although it's only 27"

    Let me tell you that with 2x 290's I can hardly use high-ultra setting on most games to get a decent frame rate, but man the details are amazing if you can push it hard

    freesync/g-sync is a must for gaming however I have been having problem with most softwares I use since it does not scale up properly

     

    Something like photoshops, I have to move my head forward to see the icons and stuff

    thus I am planning to change mine to 1440 wide (also with freesync), I find out that it's still not the right time for 4k with the current gpu's

    I'm gonna use mine in the office with my macbook since IOS has better 4k scaling

     

    I heard a lot about submersion play experience especially with curved 1440 wide

     

    so that's my experience but it is seriously debatable 

  4. I finished my Sprit60.  Sorry @Charger I wasn't able to take a tone of pictures for a build log.  I started to with my cellphone, but the pictures looked like shit, and I my DSLR wasn't charged.

     

    Here are some of the finished product.

    Smexy!

    never knew you have a drunken bruh...

  5.  Have a look at the CM storm Quickfire series, The Filco Majestouch 2 and the Ducky Shine 3. These are all great keyboards in your price range! The ducky would probably be the best quality out of the three... IMO...

     

    Well here are some photos of my project keyboard! Going to make a short build log of this tomorrow.

     

     

    Dat close up soldering!

    Keyboard porn at best....

  6. It took me a short time to get used to it. I have come from a blue switch board so I need to get used to not having loud clicks. But now I am really enjoying the board! I used to hit caps lock a lot by accident but I havent hit it accidentally since...

    I have got some Black and dark grey caps coming. There will be little pokeballs on the keycaps too :D They are coming from WASD.

    That is perfect! I will be ordering one right away! I will get in touch with him for a Mini USB connector. I have already braided a USB to Micro USB cable :D

    And this will be your end game, if they're in stock

    http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=280

  7. I'm pretty sure I read that he will still do that cable with a mini USB if you ask him. He just don't have the option listed on his website anymore.

    He might try to talk you out of it, but if you want a mini USB I'm sure he will do it for you.

    I prefer having mini on my Filco detachable cable mods due to how small they are.

    Yeah and you don't have to get different cables just for it as other keyboards use mini

    I use mine on my old Filco white alps keyboard now since my mx Filco use tex case

  8. My need for more screen space has been growing fast these days

    I am currently using an ASUS PB278Q and this monitor is amazing from my POV

     

    I do game but I dont care about all those 144hz panel, as long as it's a good IPS/PLS I'm a happy man

     

    So I saw linus take on the LG 34UM95 and the way he use it for work now, I think that is what I might need (a 3 side by side excel/word)

    I've a looked at what option LG have and ended my eyes on LG 34UC97

     

    Problem is I can only get that on ebay for almost USD1100 and that will be before custom tax which would require an extra USD 200-300

    It might be a bit of a problem as it's quite expensive, and I've to sell my PB278Q to cover for it

     

    Been looking for other option last night and saw adding a 24" 1080p monitor vertically would also be able to help my need

    the one that I have my eyes on is the ASUS VN278H and it's not expensive (around USD250) AND it has vesa mount

    (I use ergo tech on my PB and have an extra one for the VN, it would create a clean desk space)

     

    I need opinion on which is a better option, especially from people who has dual monitor setup with one vertical on the side

     

    GPU isn't a problem for me, I run 2 x 290s

  9. She is finally complete!

    I have also ordered my new Keycap set which will go onto the Phantom once it is completed. All the parts are ordered and should be here by the end of the week!

     

    Thats very nice!

    How are you liking it so far? what keycaps are you getting for her?

     

    This is a good mod for your filco

    http://pexonpcs.co.uk/products/filco-keyboard-mods

     

    However mine has a female mini usb, and he did not offer mini usb anymore

  10. I got it so it would match my new Keycap set!

    Well, I have had a ducky, Filco and a CM Storm and I have to say that the Ducky is the best so far. With the CM storm and filco being almost identical. The only nicer thing the CM storm has over the filco is a detachable cable.

     

    I bought this Phantom PCB but need to buy or get made a custom plate for it. Any idea who thick it needs to be? I have the 2D design from GH but just need to know how thick it needs to be...

     

    Or does anyone know where I might be able to buy a new premade one from?

     

    You might wanna throw that question over GH

    but pretty sure you can use the thickness of your filco plates since the phantom is compatible in filco case :)

     

    I was going to get a KUL to try out, but I just don't like the way the sides of their cases look. I still think Filco has the best looking stock case available.

     

    Do you have any of the ping, or squeaky stabs that other people have mentioned having with their KUL?

     

    I might give it a closer look once I got home

    Only had 3 minutes of look when I unbox it than I've to fly away :(

    I also get the replacement case, and I see quite a bit of flex in it

  11. I think I might of had a bit of a bump on the head at some point last week... Just bought a Phantom PCB and Teensie 2.0 Controller with some green MX switches! Going to get some brown/ blues and clears when they are back in stock!

     

    Also these little guys came through in the post :D ( They are Knockoff K3KC caps)

    Good choice on the green switch! I might have change my view on filco

    Just received a KUL, will do a review comparing that KUL with filco and leopold

    but first impression, KUL looks really good

  12. For the longest time I keep telling myself that I would never use anything smaller then a TKL, but the 60% form factor has started to grow on me.

    Wish I would have gotten one of those blue-grey Eagle kits.

     

    I still love TKL's though, and would love to pick up a winkeyless kmac, or something similar.  I'm also talking to someone about getting a SSK finally.

     

    My SSK and all the other boards has been sitting in the storage for a while, I like them but... I cant get my hand out of 68g Blues

    Maybe I've to force myself to change to other board one day

     

    Im not being crazy, I can just open the switch up. change the spring and stem to make it a different switch... Right? The outer housing doesnt change between switches, does it?

     

    I've been using a mini screw driver (the one that you use to fix your glasses) to help me open the switch up

    It's not hard once you know the trick and I can open a switch up in matter of seconds now

  13. Yeah, they are extremely smooth.  The only other thing I have that even comes close in comparison are the blacks in my G80-3700HQAUS keypads. 

     

    I have already ordered a Nerd60 PCB + hard anodized plate from GON last month, and I have a aluminum case here waiting.

     

    Sounds great!

    so you are a 60% guy? I can imagine myself using 60% , but if I can choose, I would prefer the duck viper layout (HHKB)

  14. Vintage MX-Blacks :) .  Still debating on which board I should put them in.

     

     

     

    I heard this is pure porn for some people who dedicated their life to linear switch

     

    get a custom board, the perfect layout for yourself for this
