Visually, i am very pleased. But as i'm using the darker model i'm realizing very quickly that I am not a fan of the switches at all. These will be switched out, pun intended.
As for the white model... OBSESSED. it feels wonderful, sounds wonderful. I have been taking it to and from the office with me because it's all i want to use.
Overall, I regret nothing

I didn’t do enough research to know they had different switches! I have a feeling over this next year prebuilds are going to go wild, I’m actually getting targeted ads for them now 😂 Ya the white one is where I’m leaning for a future present to myself and a yelling from my wife. All in good time hehe

I'm still a novice when it comes to certain switches and what to expect so i didn't think they would be that different, but they are. I will say this though, the USB C cable... feels amazing and I didn't know that could be a thing. It's kind of velvety. Weird I know

I will say that the white keyboard's switches are much more enjoyable than these are. I think I will be looking to switch them out at some point and i'm open to suggestions. Looking for a nice soft pop sound.

Which switches are in your white board? The browns? Or the custom box?
NknFutz OP t1_j5hifoe wrote
the customs. They are amazing. I want to buy a bunch of them if I could.
I'm much happier now having swapped out the switches in the darker board. Sounds better and feels signifigantly smoother.

Personally, I'm not a fan of brown switches, no matter the manufacturer. I'd suggest looking into Gazzew U4 Boba, or KTT Sea Salt Lemon. There are tons of options out there, I tend to build boards with a mix; tactile on the modifiers, linear on the main alphabet, and clicky on the numpad.
Nice looking boards, though, I love those keycaps!
NknFutz OP t1_j4xk8r5 wrote
Thank you for those suggestions, I'll look into them. Coming from my clicky phase and into a pop, cozy feel so these particular switches are missing that mark a bit. It's perfect for me on the white board though.
I just really like the overall look of the board but I realize it's not for everyone. Glad i'm not alone in the appreciation of the vibe.

You are not alone! After many months, I still get that tiny thrill when I start typing on my white 84 every morning.

It's like typing on a love letter

I love Gateron Milky Yellows- they have a really nice feel and sound. I like a soft pop sound and it hits the mark!
NknFutz OP t1_j4xpo6w wrote
I had looked at those and wasn't sure if that would be the right move. I'll be going on to youtube and tiktok to watch some content on them. I like the ink blacks as well.
I guess why not both? Trial and error

Yes! Also check out Akko Matcha Greens. I have also found that lubing really assists with some sound and modding the board a bit if you’re up for it.
NknFutz OP t1_j4xs9vj wrote
i'm a little nervous to fully open the board. I haven't done that yet and I don't know if I want my first time to be on board that's this pricey.
I have a crappy red dragon board i guess I could dry run it on.
superplannergirrl t1_j4xt5u1 wrote
Yes! Get a good cheap one to mess around on! I’m currently working on a feker ik75
NknFutz OP t1_j4xte4w wrote
Exciting! Can't wait to see the finished product

Thanks! I’m excited too!

I never thought I would see a damn Virgil Abloh inspired keyboard. This fuckin' rules.

I really like the keycaps but despise the spacebar in particular. Makes the whole board look cheap while the rest looks cyberpunky to me
NknFutz OP t1_j5033cw wrote
It comes with an additional space bar that just says “space”

Thanks man! Did you go with Kailh Box Brown or Kailh Box Plastic?
NknFutz OP t1_j56dvyl wrote
One of each but I now realize the box brown are not for me. I'll be swapping those out this weekend. I'm hoping to get my hands on the plastic if possible because they are exactly what I wanted.

Where did you get your deskpad?

Amazon

I love those keys, there is something about the spacebar reminding me that it is plastic makes me want to reduce my environmental footprint.

I know it's not for everybody... but it's for us :)

You don’t need two! Trust me, too much swag. I will graciously take one off your hands to lighten the load 😁
Jokes aside, how are you liking them? They are a future goal for me
