Check out Typings.gg (minimalistic, clean, esthetic, and just fun for typing). On a side note, I hate those people that have expensive thing for certain hobbies but seem to suck at what they do. If you at the end-game gear then I expect you to be a pro.

So I set a couple of goals for 2020 (most of them are just minor tweaks from 2019) but I decided to prioritized the top five. Two of these goals are just to graduate and get my license - which are just good in general for the next part of my life. But most of my day is dedicated to this also with most of my mental stamina needed to finish requirements. So the other three are relatively relaxing, and hopefully without too much stress and pressure. One of the is to type over 100 WPM by the end of the year. Hence this Ortholinear Keyboard. it is a 40% keyboard that does not have the keys staggered - which was always something that had bothered me with current set up I have. In all honestly right now at 65WPM on average I think I could just get more comfortable and truly master typing on a regular keyboard. But I think thats boring and it’s time for a new set up anyways - so I’m going to try out the OLKB when it comes out and then blog about it. Hopefully it’s as fun as I think it’s going to be.

Enthusiast’s FrankenKeyboards

Taeha Types ASMR has so many sounds that I got lost and ended up almost more confused than when I first started. To be exact, I have been trying to get my typing skills into a certain standard and have been practicing to reach 100WPM with https://www.keybr.com/ but the best part of typing is pure satisfaction of the sound it makes. In many of Taeha’s video, his keyboards almost sounds like Mr. Karbs clacking his toes but mixed with hints of bubblewrap and the feeling of relief after going to the chiropractor. I ended up spending the afternoon dreaming of ‘Holy Panda’ and Zealios V2 combined with 3032 lube and modded stabilizers all customized on a Massdrio X OLKB Preonic mechanical keyboard V3. There are so many qualities for FrankenKeyboards from unique style to the right feel that make it ‘end-game’ each individual. 

Below is one of my dream keyboards customized with Zealios 62g (I prefer a 78g since i like to tap on the keys without typing when I am thinking) with the main selling point of being a 60% and bluetooth compatible

Keyboard: Anne Pro 2 Wireless RGB. Switch: Zealios V2 62g. Plate: Stock. Case: Tofu 60% Alumunium. Keycaps: Kprepublic Japanese Root Base + Black Yellow Gentleman Modifier. Acc: Eva Foam 2mm

be sure to check out the other frankenkeyboards like:

Holy Pandas and the more silent type Zilent V2 as the switches with different keycaps and cases. To be honest, this is more for me to keep track of what mods that I want to do in the future but I might as well share the most important part: The feel for the keyboard and the wide selection of switches. These switches could be separated into categorize Clicky (blues), Tactile (browns), and Linear (reds) - from loudest to softest respectfully (usually). These different switches need certain pressure to hit the actuation point called actuation forces and these three have a different way of getting there. The Clicky blues are usually the most tactile and has an audible click when the actuation point is reach - Tactile is softer and is designed to stop the audible click; the two both have bumps in the middle to trigger electrical signals. Linear does not have this bump in the middle making a smooth and consistent action but still has an actuation point. I was always a fan of the Clicky given that I like the audible sounds of typing but the new waves of switches have been floated with many different kinds with most of the best being Tactile switches. i.e. Holy Panda, Zealios V2, Zilent V2. These are the top three that I would recommend. I’ll make a spread sheet of all the switches and it’s spec and put it in a different post. But for now get a tester and try them out at https://novelkeys.xyz/collections/switch-testers/products/12-slot-switch-tester
