  • User @amey is ghosting me after dangling a spare keychron at me.

    Sadness

  • Selling a couple of cheap keyboards if you want to try mechanical... https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/372874/

  • Just sent you a DM

  • whats the diff between K2 and K6 anyway ?!

  • K6 has almost no keys.
    K2 has some.

  • Function keys. Which I want.

  • oh yeah! that is one of the reasons I actually went back to apple keyboard

  • K6 has all the keys!

    (apart from )

    (and ~)

  • I'm actually now using a Logitech MX Keys Mini and enjoying it. Got a bit tired of the noise of my K2 ...

  • i was going to ask you next if you want it

  • Got a bit tired of the noise of my K2 ...

    Which switches do you have in it?

  • Red and I added the little o ring things in it too

  • The enter key has died on a Cherry MX blue board I have, its soldered switches so i'll have a go at replacing it. Could anyone recommend a good place to by the switch from?

  • Also selling a cheap keyboard and o-rings if anyone else wants to try mechanical:

  • Is this on the G80 I sold you?

  • Yes (but dont worry) it will be a fun little project - I stripped it down to the bare board, gave it all a good clean, put the caps through the ultra somic cleaner, ordered some O rings for it too.
    You can actually hear that one keyswitch is different, I found someone on eBay selling single MX blues so I will dust off my soldering iron and refresh my skills. I watched this for some tips:

  • Oops, I probably should've plugged it in and checked it first. PM me and I'll send you the money back.

    Sounds like a fun project!

  • I have about 125 x 1.5mm o-rings for noise dampening Cherry MX style switches - your's for the cost of postage, or free pick up in SW8

  • Dibs, if you can be arsed to post.
    (Happy to cede to someone who can collect)

  • Anyone interested in Keychron K3 Ultra-slim Wireless Mechanical Keyboard V1?

    75% keyboard
    Aluminium Body
    White Backlight
    Red Low Profile Gateron Mechanical

    About a year old. Good condition - haven't been working for a lot of that year so not huge use. Original packaging, mac/win keys, accessories, etc. I removed the orange accent keys as they were too much for my kids to resist but they're all there.

    £50 posted sound right?

    edit: not taking it so still available

  • Some boards I just finished working on;

    A Red Dragon with Outemu Blue switches for my partner

    • strip down and deep clean
    • De-logo the board case
    • New double shot caps from AliExpress
    • O rings to make it a bit quieter (more of a click than a Clack now)

    And a Cherry MX G80-3000 I got from @damitamit which will be my board for going into the office or if I need to take something to work at my family house.

    • Full strip down and clean, inc. Ultrasonic clean of all the caps
    • Replaced the switch on the enter key that had died for a new Cherry MX blue. Very easy to solder happily.
    • O rings on all the caps.

  • Fitted some o-rings (courtesy of Geoffnotsle) to my brown switched K4.
    Not silent, but much more muted.
    Worthy mod if anyone is considering it.
