I’ve use the pen to touch up black aluminum it works like magic! Actually anodize of the black I think. Just don’t accidentally let it touch your skin. It burns like acid lol

What is JDM first of all?

Do you happen to have the internal weight?

Look up on Ali express:

GMK 172 Keys Manta Ray Denim Keycap ABS Dichroism Cherry Profile Key Cap For Mechanical Keyboard MX Switch

I didn’t tell you to buy clones though… just saying

I’m a dude with no nails and I bought these for my beloved gmk nines set lol.

key stickers

They sell transparent adhesive Keycap “stickers” on Amazon. No need to paint your keycaps haha

Cause it don’t “THOCK” bruh

All QWERTYkeys boards are great for the price. Feel, look, and sound pretty premium. Especially compared to a few years ago.

Also I feel like PVD weights scratch if you look at them…

Let me tell you… all of my keyboard case damage has come from another keyboard when they are close together and I’m working on them or just checking them out. All of them. Nothing scratches the keyboard more than another keyboard.

Used dielectric grease. Don’t use Krytox. Look up a YouTube video you’ll be fine. Their stabs are usually super easy to tune. Also have some gloves and isopropyl alcohol ready so you don’t accidentally get that Pcb greasy.

At first I thought this was a completely 3-D printed keyboard. Caps and all lol. Maybe it’s the lighting and blank keycaps

Check out r/mechmarket its awesome. I feel like half my stuf has been “traded up” somehow… I don’t know how I got this much stuff lol. Apparently it’s a great time to join the hobby because budget boards today are like on pare with crazy expensive ones several years ago. Definitely go for a neo 65 next. 130ish after shipping.

Have you tried the piano pros? Looking into trying those out.

This was me about 6 months ago… bought a cheap 30 dollar board off Amazon and was like “I’m just going to mod this one and get some clone-keycaps, it’ll be fun”. This is where I’m at now…

My “Budget Boards”

I have one I just finished not pictured and another on the way. I didn’t even know most vendors sell keycaps at 50% off around Black Friday. Wish I knew! I’m about to explode from FOMO.

I technically haven’t even bought a “non-budget” board yet. This rabbit whole is nutty!
