not with those keycaps

how do i fix a blue switch that has become loud as fuck? do i have to desolder and open it up? or can i lube it from outside? what do

>>56906269
is the switch broken, as in if you press it nothing shows up? or is it just too loud for you. If so you can just get some dampeners

>>56906295
it works, it's just that the click is excessively sharp and loud compared to the other switches. i'm not sure dampeners would help since it's the click, it's not the bottoming out that's the problem.

>>56906328
If its only that one then buy another switch. Maybe you don't need to desolder it and its just the plunger and stem that's broken and you can easily replace those
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLBXxzmuA_Q

if that doesn't work then change the entire switch.

>>56906394
>(strictly for PCB-Mounted Keyboard only)
d'oh

so you think buying lube will be a waste and i should desolder it instead?

and i don't know which lube i should get, don't know if i can apply this lube from outside

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-door-rubber-silicone-grease-lubricant-WATER-REPELLENT-Frost-prevention-/380822800633

>>56906503
Yeah, you can lube from the outside. You have high chances of killing the click completely tho.

Any silicone lube should work just fine, or even some syntetic lube like krytox. Just dont use any Oil based lubes or you risk ruining the plastic.

>>56906503
i tried removing the keycap and with the keycap off it didn't make much sound at all so it seems the keycap amplifies it a lot more than i expected, so maybe i can do something with the keycap to dampen the sound

>>56906620
>You have high chances of killing the click completely tho.
damn this is scary but hmm maybe i'll go for it... i'll have to think about it

>>56906680
>seems the keycap amplifies it a lot more than i expected
Whats the position of the switch. Maybe its just resonating

>>56906697
it's the S key

interesting idea with the resonance

maybe i can put some foam on the inside of the keycap to try to dampen the sound... if i can find some foam

nope it isn't. ABS plastic is one of the cheapo options out there. It is known to shine after use and it ends up looking like shit. If I'm going to be spending 60+ bucks on a keycap set I want something more durable that wont shine like PBT

Any good yet somewhat cheap (Under $100 USD) brown switch keyboards? I need to get me a new keyboard and mouse to upgrade from my Cooler Master Devastator combo.

>>56907014
>user doesn't take care of board

>>56907023

They both shine, one just takes longer.

That being said: Quality ABS > Cheap PBT

>>56907023

>>56907045

>>56907023

ABS is shit and nothing you say will change that fact

>>56907045
Its not about the user, its about the SA profile. Signature plastics doesnt have mate SA molds, so pretty much every SA set will have this disgusting greasy shiny texture.

>>56907049

You use ABS for doubleshots and PBT for dyesubs, I don't see what you people are even arguing about.

>>56907198
Nothing is stooping you from using whatever plastic you want. Some are just more durable then others.

>>56907228
>Nothing is stooping you from using whatever plastic you want
Unless you want doubleshots that don't look like ass.

>>56907198
Motherfucking doubleshot POM, motherfucker.

>>56907258
You can have double shot PBT. Vortex makes some sets.

>>56907384

But Vortex is a meme.

>>56907310
Fair enough.

Now go find some POM doubleshots.

>>56907384
Yeah I know, tai hao also makes PBT doubleshots, that's why I specified not looking like ass.

>>56906814
G20 is really meh. I really dislike uniform profiles, and it having no curvature at all makes it worse.

>>56906961
Where can I get those key caps?

>>56907310

POM is normally lasered. I have black POM caps salvaged from a Cherry G80-3000 that are nice.

>>56907468

Vortex does PBT+POM doubleshot, though not POM+POM.

>>56907658
>Vortex does PBT+POM doubleshot, though not POM+POM.
the POM is only for shine-through legends, with PBT as the main material because memes, they could probably make POM+POM if they wanted to

>>56908292
Its funny they should make acetal keycaps. After all they will match the cancer that is /mkg/

>>56908390
Acetal is POM

>>56908433
not entirely acetal is a carcinogen and will cause cancer. Prolonged exposure also causes irritation of the skin, eyes and nasal region, which is why only a bit of it is mixed in. A pure acetal keycap will violate many health laws

I don't, I want backlighting tho and I won't mind spending a bit more to get RGB.

>>56908706
Don't overspend on RGB lighting. Get a Ducky One with a back light. They are only in single color options, but they are much cheaper at under $90 and have the exact same functionality of the shine 5

wanting backlighting doesn't necessarily mean you can't touch type

do you tell people who buy gaudy colored keycap sets to l2touchtype too?

>>56908914
calm down m8 everyone should learn to touch type. The link I provided you should be helpful.

>>56908751
Okay, in that case which switch should I get, I've been looking at the buyer's guide but I'm not sure which of them fits more my profile, I'll type a lot and don't want it to be very noisy since I use my PC mostly at night. Are whites/greens really noisy?

>>56908961
Again Ducky Ones only come with one color for your LEDs. You said that you wanted it to match your setup so pick the color you want. As for switches get a tactile switch. whites/greens are loud a clicky. Clears or tactile greys are the ones you should be looking at

>>56909012
Okay, thanks I'll get tactile switches then.
I understood that the Ducky One LED are one color only when you first told me but thanks anyway.

>>56908955
you directed your post toward someone who wants backlighting

there is not much benefit to NOT having backlighting, at "best" it's a matter of preference, if the lights give you sensory overload and triggers your autistic rage then fine you don't need them, but if someone knows they want backlighting you're a dick if you keep shitting on them for it

>>56909311
well ok yeah everyone should learn to touch type

but the "l2touchtype" fag was probably being condescending to people who like backlighting

>>56909373
To be fair, backlighting is for children and people who like it should probably off themselves.

This compact model is for sale for $69.99 on Massdrop. Thoughts? It comes in different variations, not just typewriter caps.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/magicforce-68-key-mini-mechanical-keyboard

>>56908485
No. Acetal is literally just the short name for polyoxymethylene.
You might be thinking about the fact that some brand name plastics are more specific formulations of POM; eg, Delrin.

As for a carcinogen, you may, again, be thinking of something else. The only connection is that making POM requires formaldehyde, which is a potential carcinogen.

POM has been used in plumbing fixtures, and the only problem with that is that chlorine can cause it to degrade, which makes it physically weaker, but does not release anything Generally Accepted as Toxic.
