    Oooh, you used mauves on this build! I've got them in my main board; I love the marshmallow-white housing, as well as its typing experience on my polycarbonate plate (my build's theme is surrounding GMK Yuru, so I wanted it to have that comfy feeling along with its wood case).
    Even though this board is muted a lot due to the foam, I think it would really suit a work environment with the highs being deadened, yet still having that harder bottom out due to the brass plate. I also can't wait to see the Twice build for this; we've been waiting way too long lmao!

    Hey, I have a question. Do you think a good keyboard or a layout (such as se or de) can affect the speed at which one can type?
    6 months ago, I started learning 10 finger typing and I can hardly go over 70 wpm and I am not sure if a US layout keyboard would help me type faster.

    • @afipermana551
      @afipermana551 3 года назад +1

      i think the layout is fine, the type of switch that makes you comfort affect significant on your typing speed.....but i guess it doesnt matter anyway though cause i learn 10 fingers type 2 months ago and now i avg 110 wpm......

      @@TaeKeyboards ETA is pretty good that's true, but as you said, it's still a new brand. And personally I would wait to how this R1 for the standard edition comes out, and if the result is as good as it should be I'll probably join once the R2 comes since I like the sound and I generally never minded stiff plates.
      I may sound harsh to them, tbh, but it just seems too good of a deal even if it is a bit overpriced

    tbf I have never used this board but that mounting mechanism is so weird... it's just squished in between the top and bottom? What happens when the foam wears out?

    I’m in my local state mech keys discord and they made a few acrylic boards and they always make sure the stabilized keys have bigger holes just for the same reason. I love it honestly.

    again, a high-end, expensive board with hardware-store screws.
    pathetic.
    they couldn't even customize the screws for the board.
