Tactility can be improved with heavier springs.
Have you tried it? It's usually the opposite: a heavier spring will mask a tactile bump that stays the same, as the resistance from the bump becomes relatively smaller.

No, not yet.
What you say it's usually right, but when I put a 78g spring ...

The profiles can be saved in the firmware.
But there are other bugs to the analog mode that basically prevent me from using it, unless I was playing a game that could use those features.

And I do wish that they would release some tactile switch variant. They have only two linear variants and a clicky, which has less tactility than even a Cherry MX Blue.


I have the clicky one. It sounds better than MX blue. Not as good as clickbars though. Tactility can be improved with heavier ...

oh i have to watch this

Hmm I have never had any issues with GH, but i dont frequent the marketplace and hot topics much.

I have seen the force curves and I dont think they are for me.

This would have been good for other accents as well.

Not sure if serious. :/

Totally serious.

Here I go again.
This is my own 75% with revised Italian layout and operational symbols grouped together like in a numpad.

You can find some info on wikipedia under QWERTY.
As for Italian layout, I can tell you that it was not originated from typewriters. Italian typewriters used to be QZERTY, but I've never seen any pc keyboard with that layout. Whoever designed the italian layout did a lousy job . The keyboard lacks ...

Agreed. With a little customization, that's the closest thing

Be sure to test it out a lot first before actually doing a custom keyboard. I'm in the middle of that these weeks, and some results have been quite surprising.

Finally got ahold of a TKL.
First impression is good, especially for mouse usage. Lack of numpad is not as dramatic as I thought. What ...

I have one of those Chinese adapters because I didn't know there were better cables around for my model M. If it lags or stops working, I'll try to find orihalcon's cables.

It has an occasional bug when i type too fast: one key "chatter" like 10 times. I ...

First of all thanks for the review.

I cannot make myself to like any Hako switch. It must be due to their particular force curves. Or because I like to bottom out.
The violet is the best of the bunch, but I still prefer other tactiles.

Yes, please do.

It's a top designer layout, for the layout runway show!

First impression: Striking character by showing off the XXL size spacebar, and then the egocentric top position of right Ctrl key. Not to mention the selective omission of F4 and F6 to F10 keys.

If key legends are considered, I think it is ...

Yeah, they are. Wonder which kit will arrive sooner -yours or mine

enjoyPBT.

I add ISO-IT every time I can (dye-sub of course)... when I get stats from massdrop there are like 4 orders from Italy and only 1 got the international kit. Less talk, more buy! :D (kidding of course)


I think they are poorly advertised? I got the ePBT from aliexpress so far.
I find a bit hard ...

For this reason there is ZERO keycaps which are double-shots in ISO-IT layout either within a kebyoard or sold separately.
The best I can get are PBT dye-sub, and I plan to do some custom runs of DSA dye-sub, if not laser printed for the 11 specific text keys. This means no light legends on ...

Mostly pinky.

don't go, i was lurking too, but here I am
Problem is when you add the biggest international layout (not just those 3) the price for the set will go much higher, like too much and no MOQ.

The IBM Selectric, (which interestingly also had an "ISO style" Enter key for all regions) had an optional dead key feature for this very reason. In fact, the Selectric II keyboard is one of my all-time favourites.


There is (was?) a big enter key for ANSI layout too, with the L shape turned on ...

spongebob is right, but it will require more ppl to be interested in buying other language caps to have them sold more often.

phinix wrote: 02 Apr 2019, 22:28 I understand MOQs and all that, but this is really a pain sometimes when you have to buy the whole NorDeUK kit to get 1/3 of it usefull.

At least you can. Nobody makes GMK or other quality sets with ITA keys.

I do, and couldnt type on ansi. Silly tiny enter.

I enjoyed this review very much. Waiting to try pinks

Back to topic, I have yet to find which is my favourite Kailh switch, as my tester board is not in my hands yet and will update my post then.
