Someone: you use wrist rest? Nice, is it the same size as your keyboard or bigger, I have hard time finding one that looks good and also fits

OP: it is currently 100% but it will soon be the matching size of my keyboard, and soon to be 40, then macro pad size and next thing you know, nothing left!

GMK Stealth is so stealthy that I’d probably find my dad before I find it /s

According to this exact keyboard, it is indeed called FRL compact 1800

Just wanna say I adore the aesthetic of that review sheet, it looks much like a page from a science article and I love it!

I might sound dumb asking this but I’m genuinely curious, how can a board be picky with switches? Like is it being 3 pins or something? Or if it is hot-swap, is it too tight/loose on the contact for some switches etc.?

I once looked like a spaceship too, a fast one at it for what it’s worth…

I’m surprised how this works

First of all, reason why they could say compatible and you would find it not working out is because not everyone uses the same key layout as you would, so while it might be compatible with a certain set of layouts on that row, it might not with others. Second of all, you dont need to… “zoom in” it usually lists the actual row on the side of the picture with the keycaps, if you care enough to make sure if it fits the keys and rows that you prefer, it would take you 10 seconds maxed to skim through it (might I add, un-zoomed photo is clear enough unless you are using a brick)

P/S: “I don’t have them much time to waste”… oh mate your comment says otherwise xD

Sounds like a good idea to try out, thanks for the information!

That’s some wise words, I’m a Chinese myself, and we do have a 4-words idiom/phrase that refers exactly to this stage of mind, 返璞归真, which literally translated into return to the unpolished/unaltered nature and get back to the “true self”

Agreed, sample size defines a lot and of course similar switches are harder to tell apart, this goes to any similar things not just switch. I think another aspect that differs hobbyists and none hobbyists though, is the ability to identify the difference on top of noticing the difference, and further more know how to modify a certain part to maximize or minimize such difference. So like everyone could tell switch A is scratchier than switch B just from pressing it, but us would know that is material and lube related… or that they would think switch A make a more pleasant sound than switch B, and us would know how to tune the sound from different case/plate/foam/pad/lube etc. Now that I said this, I feel like a hobby, any hobby, is truly an art of themselves… the more time we spend in it, the more time we see things other people don’t

Ohhh wow ho ooohh, Valhalla calling me! Nice keebs!

To be fair, all switches are the same to non-mechanical users. It becomes 3 types of switches for beginner users (linear, tactile and clicky)… turns back to 2 for hobbyists (ok this is a joke :3). The more you dive in the hobby, the more diverse switches become, then there is franken switches and what not. Point is, it takes certain level of enthusiasm to differentiate them. With that being said, I’m a sole believer that all linear switches are the same, at least that’s what my wallet trying to tell me anyway

That looks like a HELLLical of a problem

I know it is translucent and all that, but this level of shine is how I want my gmk to be in 5 years
