I just opened my new Lemokey P1 to change the gasket mounts and I got a little bit shocked when I looked at the Stabs. I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate good factory lubed stabs but isn't that a bit over the top?
I wanted to get some keycaps that allowed the light to shine through, but the stock ones didn't. Then, the Womier keycaps had function keys without the Mac symbols, so I decided to keep some key stock.
This all turned into a 3-tone setup that I kinda dig! What do you think?
Wrist rest a little big but I'm getting used to the layout - Wooting 60HE+ =)
Didn't think I was a green kind of guy. I was wrong.

I love heavy tactiles. I love Zealios v2 67g And I thought, what the hell, let's crank it up a notch. Let's give the 78g a try.
And unfortunately I just find that I'm not happy with them. Maybe I had the wrong idea when I saw "78g" - It's bottom out force, not actuation force. But it says it right there on the website - so not their fault. I'm a shitty reader. I just thought "78g?! These will be soooooo tactile. Let's f*ckn go bro"
They are, just a lil tough to push down once you get past the bump. Like too much resistance on the way up. They don't sound as great, but that could be a combo of the many components.
I still recommend the Zealios 67g, even though I've moved on to other tactiles. Even though, I kinda like those better. Different keystrokes for different key folks. Yes they're pricey. We spend a lot of money anyway. Just buy em and try em. I'm currently swapping out switches on another board, so I broke out this board with the 78's on em. And I felt the need to type this. Not hating on Zeal PC. Just an honest review for anyone who is trying to go from 67g to 78g.
Okay, this is a ramble. I've received my Rainy75 roughly two weeks ago, and upon opening the package my accessories box lacked the switches and keypuller required to take the keycaps off to start the keyboard, stupid but okay it's not the worst. I've been using it for awhile and I've begun having issues with the Keyboard suddenly disconnecting completely ruining anything I'm doing, which is stupid! I'm not happy with this Keyboard and this is happening to TOO MANY PEOPLE! Wobkey is a fraud, sorry if I'm rambling too much. :(
I'm going to have to give props to mechanicalkeyboards as they have been helping me through the entire process. <3
I hope I don't catch any grief for this but I bought an ONN mechanical gaming keyboard last week. After a week's use I can say I'm happy for a low price. The feel is good, if it craps out early or misbehaves I'll post about it.
This is my Monsgeek M1v3. Barebones was 70 buckeroonies. Total build cost is $120. QMK/VIA compatible.
Works with:
Wooting (youtube video)
Meletrix (youtube video)
Doesn't work with:
Yunzii RT75
Bought a the yunzii rt75 and the dashes and was so excited until i swapped it over and it did not work. With your help, I'd like to compile a list of working and not working. Leave a comment down below if you can add to the list.
