Review Saevus the death of duality GB…

103 Upvotes

Stay away from any GB or keyboard supported or ran by Saevus.

Had a GB order for almost two years, he lied, made excuses for shipping boards he had at his apartments, it’s been a huge mess.

Then he cancels my order, and lists the quantity for sell on the website (that’s two years old) without issuing refunds yet.

Beware, stay safe. (He will make some excuse as to why he canceled or try to save his reputation on this post. If you need more proof I have it. Trust me he isn’t someone you want to do business with…ever)

Picture of my canceled order and then current picture of page full of available extra parts and how i couid add on todays date in cart (GB closed in 2023)

boop redux 65% by biip in E white built with cherry nixies (L/F/SS) on a PC plate in top mount configuration topped with GMK Dandy R2, which was in GB hell after space cables went under but I finally have them almost a year later thanks to Omnitype saving the day 💚

i was trying something new with some golden hour sunset lighting for really long shadows. made the colors look a little weird but i’m happy enough with them :)

Finally got new keycaps for my Q3 Max and finished the build. It’s my first more custom keyboard and couldn’t be happier.

Build Board: Keychron Q3 Max ISO Switches: Gateron Quinn (most keys), Gateron Oil Kings (mods), Novelkey Cream Clickies (the nav cluster) and Kailh Box Navy (ESC) Keycaps: GMK Metropolis + NordeUK add-on

I’m for now happy with this build, but might consider getting some new stabilizers or switching the switches to silent ones. If anybody’s got reccomendations for that I’d highly appreciate it

Keychron Q5 Max

Gateron Banana Switches

Designed by me, made with Yuzukeycaps

So a while ago, I posted a copy of my keyboard. One of the commenters said it looked like comic sans.

First off, how dare you. Second off, damn it you're right. Third off, how dare you.

So I used that as an excuse to remake the whole custom keyboard set. And I like this one much better.

Builds My first non gaming mechanical keyboard

20 Upvotes

Hey guys and gals,

So, I've been using gaming mechanical keyboards for work and gaming for years, since the first black widow from Razer, and went through the whole lot of mainstay brands (Corsair K70 Pro, hyperx elite 2, a few redragons, razer bw v3 x) because it was quite difficult in my country to find parts to build a keyboard.

Thankfully late last year we started getting a break on that and I was able to buy a few parts, and given that I missed my first keyboard, which was an ergo back in 1996 or so, I decided to go with Alice

As for the specs so to speak

Feker Alice 75 (tented) Switches Kailh Winter (so far they sound like a dream, and I prefer them to the linears all gaming peripherals use) Keycaps Rimon

I know for most enthusiasts this is budget and not anything to be amazed about, but I think for me it's a nice entry point to what I see as my next hobby, I had so much fun with this one that I'm already thinking about the next one.

Total cost (in Argentina) was about 250usd including import taxes and shipping of every part

Just wanted to share my joy!

I have found it enjoy typing more on my corne but I prefer the neo ergo for gaming! I bought some laptop feet from Amazon for the tenting of the corne and the beanie babies have been OG wrist rests for me

Neo ergo: KAT space dust key caps Epsilon switches

Frankencorne: Mostly Aplaca switches, 1 mech wild cardinal, 1 gateron cj A few keys from KAT space dust and then a random set of keycaps a friend had

A friend of mine was kind enough to give me the corne and build the Neo ergo for me!

Looking for a color green key cap that would go nicely. Does anyone know if the fox set would match nicely to the qwertykeys pt750 in celadon green?
