_Question_: what do you think about the Bokeh Ambients Silent switches?

I am thinking of buying the Piantor Pro BT from https://www.keebart.com/products/piantor-wireless

_Background_:
1. I had an IBM Model M #keeb for 20+ years
2. I moved to a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with #Cherry MX Blues
3. I also had a GMMK 1 #MechanicalKeyboard with #Gateron Blues
4. Then I moved to an ErgoDash with #Kailh Whites Box (current daily driver).

Seems like I might have to replace the micro mouse switch on my Kensington Orbit K75327 trackball... The left click is registering double clicks. Hope I still remember my soldering skills! Will try to get some replacement 7.3mm silent Kailh switches.

Made some cat claws for my kids with #3DPrinting. Used #Kailh Navy Blue switches, because I'm not letting my kids click with MX Browns or Blues like plebs.

Changed the #Gateron for #Kailh White and Navy I had left over. Typing for longer times on the tactile switches just makes me feel icky. I need some clicks to give me feedback.

Bought some #Gateron Aliaz Silent Tactile Switches to switch out the brown Cherry switches in my #Epomaker #Skyloong #GK68 I use for work. Now I'm thinking of also changing the #Kailh Blue Navies in my #DygmaDefy... I do like the clicky Kailh, but tactile may be a new interest. Maybe I'll order some more switches to test. Any tips for tactile (that you can really feel and 100gf or heavier) switches?

Soldered new switches in into my good old Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum, as the old ones started showing wear. I picked some slightly heavier ones than the stock switches were (Kailh GM 8.0), thinking "well how heavy can some mouse microswitches be lmao".

Well very heavy. Need to retrain my muscle memory to do double clicks properly. "lmao"

Also I sorta broke the turbo-scroll mechanism of this mouse while fixing the switches. Bummer.

This is the oddest #KeyboardLayout I've seen in quite a while: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/20/bandit-pc32-standalone-colorforth-keyboard-computer-is-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-microcontroller/

And yes, the #OrtholinearKeyboard of that small #handheld computer seems to be a #MechanicalKeyboard, they say it has #Kailh Brown switches, seemingly MX compatible.

Moving around the O and especially the P and L key reminds me of the #keyboard layout of the #Enigma, also because I also already was experimenting with such layouts: https://github.com/xtaran/XTK/blob/master/Painigma27.md

New #MechanicalKeyboard day! It's a #Kiser Monorail 45% #keyboard which I recently bought from @opendev on #40sDay in the Fediverse. I've put #HolyBoba switches in the #Kailh #hotswap sockets and put MiTo's GMK Laser keycap set plus some novelties on.

And yes, the #KiserMonorail is #V4N4G0N compatible, so it's my fifth keyboard with #TheVanKeyboards #Minivan-style layout.

It runs #QMK on an #RP2040 and uses easy peasy #Vial for configuration!

@dhry: Here are my two #mechanicalkeyboard #dailydrivers at home (#RamaWorks #U80-A Seq. 2 #TKL in Stealth Black with #MT3 #Skiidata #keycaps and #Kailh Box Jade switches + wired Mod-IT/Pearl #trackball with the glittery grey ball of an unfortunately wireless-only Logitech MX Ergo trackball, #AfterShokz #boneconduction headset and volume knob of a #Logitech Z533 speaker set) and at work (#Tex #Yoda II with #GMK Yoda 2 keycaps and #Cherry #MX Brown switches with #QMX Silencer Clips).

Кажется, нашёл если не фатальный, то достаточно неприятный недостаток свитчей Kailh Speed Bronze.

У них срабатывание переключателя происходит заметно раньше, чем щелчок. И в результате их тактильность работает против них.

Во время работы и печати это не мешает.

А вот во время игр я заметил, что у меня возникают ложные нажатия от того, что палец лежит на клавише недостаточно сильно чтобы она продавилась и щёлкнула, но достаточно сильно чтобы произошло срабатывание переключателя.

Я так в Death Stranding несколько раз чуть с моста в пропасть не срулил, а в R6: Siege случайно начинал стрейфиться.

Wiring is mostly done, #ZMK is configured, battery is soldered on - so it actually works - LOVE those key caps. I‘m just waiting for the screws to be delivered, because I have zero M2 hardware at home. #Kailh #Mechanicalkeyboard #lastpost

#Kailh Box Jades sound awesome but are sadly too heavy for me. I switched them out for Box Whites in my Kimiko. #Mechanicalkeyboard #Mechanicalkeyboards

The #Kailh Box White switches came in the mail. I‘m debating Jades for the thumb keys. What do you think? (Poll in the next post) #Mechanicalkeyboard

Almost ready to go 🔴 #LIVE - #Switches change to #CherryMX #SilentRed, from #Kailh #BoxBrown

I found that the Kailh Box Brown switches were a little bit too #noisy and hard for my #tastes, so I've opted for the Cherry MX #Silent Red instead.
On this #LiveStream, I'm changing them and testing the new #sound and feel.

Cleaned the keycaps on my #Glorious GMMK 2 and replaced the switches with #Kailh Box whites 🤍 and 4 Box Pinks 🩷 on the arrow keys 🤓

Swapped in the #Kailh box navy keyswitches into my keychron Q3 and they're fantastic. Quieter, at least with the gasketed steel plate, than a Cherry MX Green but stiffer with a slightly shorter and sharper engagement. I only have a half-day typing on them but they may be my new favorite switch.

#MechanicalKeyboard

While waiting for my 3D prints, I got some more #Outemu , #Kailh and #GSquare switches for testing. #PolyKybd

Starting to work on #chocofi - unfortunately need to wait for some more hot swap sockets... #diy #keyboards #choc #kailh

Für mehr (Großraum-)Bürotauglichkeit die #Keychron K2 mit leisen #Kailh Box-Switches ausgestattet. Krasser Unterschied. 😊

in case you're wondering what's that #pcb is, that is called "sweep" #keyboard https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep

it's a 34 keys minimal keyboard with staggered rows. and this version is for #kailh choc switches, hot swappable and all

I wish it had RGBs though for extra bling, but, oh well. I guess we all have to suffer

Btw, is there anyone around who tried the new kailh sunset switches? My wife is threatening a divorce over the clicky white ones, so I'm looking for low pro tactile switches

I just built a Crisco #keyboard. I used #Kailh low profile Choc Pink switches, which are super-light, facilitating chording. It's a variation on the Butter Stick: https://qmk.fm/keyboards/butterstick/

Got a new #keyboard today. The Sharkoon Skiller SGK50 S4!

I have to get used to it, especially using the macro key to access the arrow keys, but the feeling while typing is absolutely worth it.

Got it with #kailh brown switches btw. Absolutely awesome!

Ordered a new #mechanicalkeyboard - this time with #kailh brown switches and a 60% layout (not even Fn keys) because I won't to be able to travel with this one.

@funnylookinhat @system76 #Kailh BOX silent pink switches are really light. 🪶 At the time I bought my #novelkeys box cream, the pink were all but non existent. That and novelkeys box cream are kind of amazing on their own. Personally helped over strains on my finger joints. 👌

Still. Really like the choice here on the silent pink. For people who suffer with carpal tunnel or just joint fatigue, these can be really amazing to use.

My wife has taken the next step in her #keyboard enthusiast journey: fun new clicky switches! These are #Kailh BOX Pale Blue switches purchased from Keygem and they are replacing some #Gateron Milk Black switches. They sound pretty nice and I’m looking forward to hearing how she like them after a few days.
