    PCBs are usually made from fiberglass (fr4)...

    The Intellimouse Pro with the 3389 maybe?

    h87a 1.2mm are shipping soon, vendors should have extras again soon.

    I would advise against filming most switches other than Cherry, if added incorrectly films can do more harm than good. Batch 3 of the bumwipe stems are calling soon, https://invyr.com/products/invyr-uhmwpe-linear-stems-110-pack?variant=31295720816715

    1. Where did you get them from? There are lots of different retools, the early ones in 2018 were super smooth, the latter ones are a bit inconsistent, I have some 500 MX1A-11NW Retools from arrow and they're pretty smooth. 2. Vints are much much much much more inconsistent 3. They didn't go through much remolding... the pre-retool non vints are scratchy due to old and worn out tooling and the newer retools are scratchy due to a change in plastic composition... Cherry switches can be very good if you know where and how to find good ones. Your comment about the springs is a bit irrelevant, most people will spring swap (unless it's a gat yellow) Cherry and Zeal springs are very awful. Most people choose to use Sprit (scammer), TX, CWW, Punchy, Kmac or korean springs, which are much much better than stock zeal or cherry springs.

    Gateron yellow springs aren't just heavier, they also have a different curve to them due to their spring being a "slow curve" spring, meaning that the force is linear vs curved as seen in progressive springs.

    I've used the Golden Standard™ for a day or so…

    @seon123 imo kbdlabs or tx springs are better, as they're good springs that aren't sold by an ex-scammer

    Try spring swapping them with TX or KBDLAB springs. Or you can lube the springs with something like 105 or LSD.

    Try using some higher end lubes with higher viscosity, ptfe and binder. Krytox greases are quite commonly used, mainly 200 series grade 0 lubes. 204G0 or Tribosys 3204 are good options and should stick quite well. Avoid lube mixes, mixing different grades of greases/oils will cause them to eventually separate.

    Eh, it's just a glorified tray mount tbh. https://mekanisk.co/collections/klippes/products/klippe-sandwhich-mechanical-keyboard-kit?variant=30890629169288 I would get this instead, it's not tray mount. Tray mounts are quite inconsistent in terms of feel and sound.

    They are new molds which in theory should make them smoother than normal tealios.

    ZealPC's new Tealio switches, new housings, colours and weighting. @sowon, maybe you might be interested.

    Looks like a KBD67 MK2

    Dolch is a colourway based on a old Dolch Cherry G80-1813 keyboard and it looks like this Yolch just refers to Yellow on Dolch
  16. b emoji
    Try looking on Mech Market for GMK Pulse, Gmk Sky Dolch, Gmk Modern Dolch, GMK/JTK Yolch, those should be similar to what you are looking for. But aftermarket Gmk caps are quite expensive and can reach 200+ USD.

    Gateron is smoother, plus there's much better keycap compatibility

    TBF it is a pretty plain rubber dome board.
  19. b emoji
    The word you are looking for is rubber domes I think. Membranes are the sensing method and are usually not responsible for key-feel. Membrane =/= Rubber domes!

    The best imo are worn in Vintage Cherry switches, after you lube, spring swap and film them they're some of the smoothest and best sounding switches imo. The worst I would say are pre-retooled cherry switches, which were super scratchy and super overrated.
  21. b emoji
    They don't... Membranes refer to the sensing layers.. They're completely different things... You cant really make something act like a membrane unless you force it to only have 2 key native roll over or something. Plus there's some good boards that use a membrane like the model m and acer switches.

    Recent Gateron batches especially inks have had terrible loose leaves. Gateron leaves in general aren't great but now they're just getting worse.

    I would just get a new keyboard if I were you... Some SS APEX keyboards use rubber domes over membrane and some use proprietary Steel series switches which has a different pin layout than conventional Cherry switches. In addition, replacing switches is a bit of a pain on prebuilt boards. If you want to do all that de-soldering and soldering you may as well get a proper pcb and case.

    Cherry silent reds and blacks as well, people use them to make Mx Zilents. Mx Clears as well, people use them to make ergo clears. They are legit however, they have been instances where they have sold fake switches, but those were fake Round 11 ZEALPC Zealio and Tealio switches, but that was a while ago and they've moved on. Cherry switches are pretty cheap, most companies won't scam you for cherrys.

    Both are perfect sensors, the Hero sensor's advantages is that it has higher dpi (16k vs 12k) but no one really uses above 1.6k so... The Hero's sensor's real advantage is for wireless mice as they are more battery efficient. I would just get which ever is cheaper.
