I need more thock ...
I just finished my Zoom65 V2 with kailh box jades and cheap Amazon caps. The sound is ok but I want something "deeper" and louder from the alpha keys. What do y'all suggest? Pulling out the foam in the bottom of the case and underside of the PCB definitely helped. I've done the tape mod and plan to do the holee mod when I open it up again.
I don't have an answer to your sound question, but that color combo is fantastic!
Thank you! Gold / yellow is hard to get right. Here is the Amazon link: Black and Gold Futuristic keycaps PBT Injection molding 148 Keys Ball Cap CSA Height Customized Personality Adapt to 61/64/68/71/82/84/87/96/98/104/108 Key Positions https://a.co/d/hqDXYY0 (I had to steal the Mac keys from my Keychron.)
Must go thockier, must go thockier…
If you're OK with linears for the alpha keys, Gateron Milky Blacks have a nice deep sound.
So O-Rings are notoriously for cutting the noise on Cherry Blues, but we put 0.2mm O-Rings on my wife’s keyboard, and it accomplished EXACTLY what you’re looking for.
Massive pain to install, but cheap, and “deeper”.
Thanks for the tip. I'll research that asap.
I bought Ink Black V2s and Milky yellows to make a frankenswitch. I used the Ink bottom, ink stem, milky top. Lubed with Krytox 205g0 and used two Deskeys films per switch.
I placed poron switch pads on the PCB.
Thoccy on bottom and top sound. Top sound is slightly more thoccy because of the milky top.
Maybe UHMWPE stems will make the sound more thoccy.
I need to try some sort of case mod. My current case is acrylic.
Get some bobas
I've got some coming in from Ali along with a couple of others that were mentioned. They won't arrive for a bit though.
How the Zoom65? Thinking of getting one? Wireless functionality ok?
Yeah, I like it. I'll be playing with the acoustics for a while to get the sound I want. The wireless is solid, no drops or other headaches. I had an issue with it loosing my custom config a couple of times on the default firmware but not since flashing the latest. My chief complaint is that it doesn't support qmk. I'm not clear on why, though, since it supports Via and I thought qmk was a prerequisite for it.
Cherry blues or blacks might be what you’re looking for
Hmm... I have gateron blues in my Keychron but they're not hot-swap. I may pickup a 10 pack of the Cherry's to test.
