What are san caps[emoji1787]

Not much to elaborate - I take off the case and keycaps, maybe even do a full disassembly once every few months (hot-swap switches, so no biggie) and I soak the whole lot in a bath of alcohol then/or distilled water.
I'll clean keycaps more often in cold soapy water (I just use dish soap, my caps are cheap) and air dry them overnight when I'm not using them.

Most of my keycaps receive a weekly wipe down with an alcohol prep pad. My mouse also goes through the same treatment. Keeps them nice and clean, bacteria and aesthetic wise. I found I have to 'wash' them less often this way.
 
Just got the Logitech Y-BP62a. I am psyched.

The typing is amazing - sounds and feel.

edit: I have the black one.

Yup, I totally agree with you.

I think there is a reason i don't browse Reddit. If I had to, I would be on a Core2duo running minecraft at 10 FPS to experience some of the Keebs in that subreddit. 😂
 
I'm moving into TLK, going down to 60% has shown me the value of the dedicated Function Row xD I really enjoy 60%, but I hoard mice currently not keebs xD so If anyone catches wind of a TKL Ducky with browns, you know where I am ;)
 
Is that an Anne Pro 2? Where are you getting yours from? I'm looking to get one myself :)

That is the DIERYA DK61 Pro.

Got a very good deal on it from @eY_b0ss and could not say no.

Really looking forward to using it, both gaming and typing.

One day when I am big, I will invest in a Ducky keyboard.

I was VERY tempted with your keyboard but the price was slightly out of reach for me at that moment.

Fantastic keyboard!

Looks really similar! Hope you enjoy it!

yeah it is, coming from RomerG switches, I cannot go back, Browns are just too satisfying xD I use Function for dedicated shortcuts so it becomes a hassle if you have to push FN to get to them xD as such I no longer have dedicated shortcuts on them xD

If you have any consideration for your wallet stay far, far away from trying any more of the aggressive tactile switches... If you enjoy the change from romerG to cherry browns, it only gets better when you move to gateron browns, and then to Kailh coppers and then zelios and other feelios switches.

The rabbit hole is DEEP.
 
So... I've been trying some lubed Gateron Yellow switches in my Ergodox Ez over the past week. Being a tactile guy, I was skeptical on following the recommendation from r/mk. Long story short, these blew me away. They are fantastic as a budget switch and I cannot find any fault at their price point. Super smooth with just the right amount of resistance so I can rest my fingers on the home row without accidental key presses.

I might move my daily driver switches to these. If you build a custom board, don't overlook the Gateron Yellow.

Let's just say Romers felt like linear switches once I encountered Browns xD I almost bought a Gamdias for Gateron Browns recently. And I dare not even consider anything beyond this right now. I would LOVE to try Kailh's though, they look so good :(
