Hello po! Need po advise if anong mas okay or maganda sa tatlong keeb. Leobog Hi98c Pro, Weikav Max102, or Yunzii AL98. Thank you in advance sa mga sasagot.

I sealed the PCB flex cuts using RTV electronics silicone(Kafuter 704) and added a layer of Rockwool in the case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e86irQcJaDI (Video for reference)

Context:

Medyo naging habit kong mag hard-press Ng keys since childhood dahil sa crappy membrane keyboard namin noon, tapos nadala ko hanggang Ngayon.

Humahanap lang ako Ng pwedeng tumagal ng ilang taon habang nasasaktan dahil sa habit ko. Madali din ako magalit kaya baka din rabagin ko keyboard😂

Looking for:

Durable keyboard

Hot-swappable (obviously)

Silent or near-silent switches

Nahanap ko yung store after delving deep sa shopee mall, tapos recommended din siya ng Isa kong peer.

So I’ve had the Mchose Ace 68 Turbo for almost 2 months now and it’s been an absolute blast using it. First time ever owning a somewhat expensive keeb and I’m very impressed with its performance. The stock Mount Tai HE switches are okay though, I like their feel and a decent clack but it’s just a bit too loud. I don’t mind it at home, but it’s definitely bothersome when I bring it outside.

So ever since I started doing some out of house work I wanted to get a quieter switch, and maybe one that feels a bit better for typing. The stock switches felt fine for games but they were a bit slippery and scratchy for typing as well as being a linear switch without much feedback until the sound, making misinputs happen often. So then I started doing research and stumbled upon the XVX Whisper. Around the same time I was also looking for keycaps to replace the stock ones for some more personalization, which is how I saw the switches in the first place.

Their overall build really caught my eye: a Hall effect compatible silent switch with a rubber dome in the same vein as Topre switches? Really quite unique and I’d never tried a proper “silent” build before or topre switches. So I figured it would be a good try. Unfortunately there weren’t that many reviews until recently, so I was mostly doing a blind buy but I know that it’s got some community approval as a Wooting switch. But I did have to wait to buy it because it was out of stock on Shopee.

Fast forward to last week, they finally restocked it and ordered myself 70 switches. And oh my god, absolutely revolutionary for me. Much quieter and creamier in the sound and feel, I can definitely bring it around now. Then the tactility of the rubber dome? Wow, absolutely addicting to type on. Feels quite light and the physical feedback makes typing really satisfying. For gaming purposes, pressing the keys harder & faster makes it feel more like a linear so I don’t feel I’m losing much.

Even with just a short impression, it feels amazing and I could definitely recommend this switch. The only downside I saw was a JPN reviewer saying there are inaccuracies with 0.01mm Rapid Trigger, but worked fine on 0.02mm upwards. If you have an HE/TMR board and were curious about the Topre experience, the Whisper is a very fun switch to try and get that feeling. It’s also just a very good silent switch, cutting off a lot of the noise of Hall Effect switches while also having a subtle thock and slight creaminess.

Hi! I’m planning to buy an aula f75 tapos nakita ko to and ang mura niya compared sa shapi. Is this a legit shop? Should I choose COD na lang din ba para i-return ko if di keyboard ang dumating? Minsan lang kasi ako mamili through Laz.

Need advices lang po. Thanks!

Anybody know where to find these? Preferably can be bought by piece. If anybody is selling im willing to buy

As someone who has no experience in soldering, can I DIY yung repair? Found out that one of the sockets got disconnected with the PCB 😅

Just got my very first aluminum mech keeb. Coming from the RK87, Lam-Ang Pro, and Lite (been rotating between these three since the pandemic days), I never really had the chance to upgrade until now.

Grabe pala talaga yung difference in both sound and feel kapag mas premium at mas well-built yung keyboard. Totally ibang experience.

I know I paid a bit more since I had to buy from an overseas seller (ubos na kasi stocks sa local resellers and nearby shops), but honestly, sobrang worth it pa rin for me.

Next stop: a 65% or even smaller aluminum keeb naman. Pero siguro later this year or early next year na lang.

Ayun lang! — Sulitin ko muna ’to. 🫶
