BudgetKeebs

If you want a hyper tactile, just get these, they are very clacky so if your after something quiet, these ain't it. But if you don't, then these are worth checking out.

I can't seem to find any. If some do exist, please link them. I prefer low profile keyboards, so it would feel odd to have a full profile numpad next to my TKL whenever I need to use it.

Here are all my keebs.

From oldest to newest:

• TM680 - Case foam, tape mod, wheel weights, foam in all the places. MMD Holy Panda Switches and Pudding keycaps - this was the first custom keyboard I got, its had all the switches and keycaps you can see in this picture are some point in time, I have used this for 2 years up until only recently.

• Teater68 - got this as something to experiment with and also somewhere put the Gayeron Milky Yellow switches when I upgraded to the Gazzew Boba switches, this was used as a WFH keyboard. - this has had all the mods plus a internal battery with USB C charging added. Will have the Gateron Milky Yellows put back on and then I will pick up some white keycaps just to finish this off again.

• Feker JJK21 - I missed the numpad so I picked this up, it has the tape mod and that's it. It started its life out as white as it was £20 cheaper than the black one, so I spray painted it black to match the TM680 and now the Monsgeek M1. Its got Holy Tom V2 switches and Gentleman XDA V2 keycaps.

• Monsgeek M1 - I wanted something fancy and made of metal, so I got this, its had the tape mod done and that's it. Its got Gazzew Boba U4T switches (68g springs) and Gentleman XDA V2 keycaps.

• GMK67 - impulse buy as it was £26 delivered. It will be getting MMD Princess Tactile switches when they arrive, it currently has Gateron Milky Yellow switches and Honey Milk XDA keycaps.

• Switch tester has a bunch of all different switches, looks cool.

Thanks for reading.

I’m thinking about trying out a set of Boba U4 switches.

I’ve been using Durock silent shrimps lately and they’ve become by far my favorite switches.

For those who have used both, how do you feel they compare?

It has come to my attention that everything that I tinker with, ends up with purple...

Monsgeek M1 with Boba U4T's 68g springs, Gentleman XDA v2 keycaps.

Tape mod and force break mod, all stabs and switches lubed.

From top to bottom:

• Monsgeek M1 - Boba U4T switches with 67g springs - Gentleman XDA V2 Keycaps = This is the Daily
• TM680 - MMD Holy Panda switches - Pudding Keycaps = This is for work
• Tester68 - Gateron Milky Yellow Switches - Honey Milk keycaps = This is now my partners keyboard (Although its just been placed on her desk, we will have to see if its gets used)

All of these have been lubed, tape modded, the TM680 and Tester68 have wheel weights and case foam to make the keyboard heavier and feel less hollow.
