K3 Pro with lubed gateron red lp switches. Tape mod (2 layers) and plumbers mod for the stabs. Keycaps from a Nuphy Air96 I just got. Desk crab in the bg for good measure.

How would you compare the two boards overall? I don't have either but am looking for a tie breaker.

How’d you get the black space bar? My Air96 only had a yellow one.

Sixthsomatic OP t1_jdvucx2 wrote

It’s actually the stock space bar that comes with the K3 Pro. It’s not an exact match for the grey of the Nuphy but it’s close enough!

Mr_JBuckley t1_jdwlsk9 wrote

Just curious/ to confirm, does Nuphy's space bar fit on the K3 Pro?

Sixthsomatic OP t1_jdwnano wrote

Yep, fits perfectly. It’s the regular K3 that has the weird off center stabs for the space bar, the pro has standard stab placement.

That's awesome to hear, and thank you for confirming it too!

I have a feeling there will be some folks rather annoyed with some of my purchases later this year... 🤓

Is the green ENTER key is also the part of the keycap set? Looks very nice btw.

Damn. I'd like this keyboard with all blank keys.

Damn, this looks so nice! I’m not in a place to order an entire second keyboard but I’ve been looking for different keycap options for my K3 Pro. The low profiles are just so hard to find. I got some third party XDA style caps off Amazon that look and feel amazing, but the fit on the K3 Pro is kind of wonky. The keys with stabilizers stick sometimes and I haven’t been able to figure out what is going on.

Sixthsomatic OP t1_jdyevl0 wrote

I found that when I tried some XDAs as well. I think where the sides of the keycaps are just a tiny bit too long they catch on the sides of the switch. That’s why the stem of low profile keycaps reach out beyond the bottom. XVX and Nuphy really seem like the only ones atm offering more variety in low profile caps. I have a set of black shine through xvx in order right now.

Emanemanem t1_jdyg6q6 wrote

Thanks! I’ll have to check out XVX as well! Yeah it did seem to have to do with the length of the stems. The vast majority of the time it’s fine, just weird sticking every once in while. I also noticed that the XDA keycaps are noticeably louder, which is compounded by the fact that I have Blue switches, lol. I’m currently looking for a job, and I might have to switch to Browns if I end up with something in-office.

Edit: typo

Sixthsomatic OP t1_jdzm9qn wrote

Yeah the XDAs will also bottom out against the plate which makes them a good bit louder. I got my 96 with the Wisteria tactiles and weirdly when comparing to the brown that came as a tester I liked the brown more.

Love that pen, it’s my go to edc. Swapped out the ink cartridge with one for the fisher space pen.

Just picked up the g-750 and I think it’s another winner.

Yeaaaa!!! I’m really pleased with how the stabs on the right shift and caps lock aren’t a problem either!

j_tant t1_je1mrae wrote

right it’s surprisingly stable! i do love the stabs on the stock k3 pro keycaps though and wish nuphy keycaps had them too

j_tant t1_je1n8pn wrote

how do the keycaps from Air96 feel compare to K3 Pro keycaps? (Nuphy changed the stock keycaps between Air75 and Air96)

1

Sixthsomatic OP t1_je2cnob wrote

I like the feel a lot more. It’s like they pancaked an XDA keycap, whereas the K3 Pros still have a bit of an angle to them. Just feels a little bit more roomy.

Link to the keycaps? What a gorgeous keeb 😩

Sixthsomatic OP t1_jdzlwvd wrote

They’re the stock keycaps that come with the Nuphy Air75/96, so you’d have to buy the entire keeb to get them. That being said, they are excellent keebs and I’d recommend doing that anyway lol
