eggplant dnworks dm with vintage cherry mx browns.
this purple is really nice. i love how easy it is to friction-fit all this in. it feels like part of the way towards a "TKL sound."
funny story. during the GB, i bought purple / eggplant. however, i quickly changed my mind and asked for silver.
that said, i was expecting silver, and i am happy i got this instead. LOL.

    @nikostephen510 10 месяцев назад

    this keyboard implements a new mounting style, where there's an o-ring around the assembly, which is friction-fastened into the bottom case. the top case sandwiches the 6 plate tabs, and boy, this is a fun one to type on. if i had this board, i would go to it consistently. it doesn't have a high pitch sound like a drop-in o-ring/tray mount board would (unikorn / bakeneko) and it's not as resonant as an open top mount or sandwich mount could be. it sits right in the middle, with a spacebar sound that pops and is even. i really hate when a spacebar sounds uneven; most of the time, it may just be a wire balancing skill issue. here are some things that i love about this board, and why i think it may be a good pick up for you (if you have the funds and are willing to support come february): - the curves catch the light so well, and it's hard to see on camera the way that it does when it's in natural light or on a desk - the brushed weights + the art is super detailed, and the finish is super fresh - the mounting implementation is something new, and it's refreshing to see something implemented and iterated upon in a way that isn't just trivial or novel - the subtle side swoop accent on the bottom portion of the board is nice to look at when it's on your desk - the typing feel; it's not flexy or bouncy, it's firm and even, with no sacrifice to fullness in sound. anyway, this is my first "longer form" type of video. i appreciate y'all watching. and all the music was also done by me, lol.

      @@Arciellan it's close. the Parlay had vertical compression from the top and bottom case, and the plate tabs were secured with o-ring strips in the top case. you can think of this as like a drop-in o-ring with a top case as a lid.
