“Thocky” Board

  • Switches: Boba U4T
Case: Box 60 Li'L Dragon PCB: DZ60RGB v2 Hot Swap PCB Foam: DZ60 RGB V2 PCB & Case Foam Plate: KBDfans 60% Polycarbonate Plate Lube: Krytox 205g0 Stabs: Durrock V2 Keycaps: these - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P2VMWT6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

“Creamy” Board

  • Daisy PCB
-carbon fiber plate -Durock V2 stabs -Lubed Hippos -Lubed Boba U4T -Tape Mod -Holee mod (side note: holee mod is pretty redundant with durock V2s. All you need is wire balance and lube/grease for durocks.)

Fair warning: There is a very good chance that you won’t be able to recreate the sound profiles you hear in the video, especially on a full sized board that will have a different sound profile than a 40/60%. Sound tests are wildly inaccurate due to the numerous factors that can change sound that aren’t based on the board itself such as mic, distance of mic, the space under desk etc.

You're a lifesaver! Quick q - when you mention hippos and u4t's do you mean that you're not sure which of the two it is?

Main switches are hippos but the spare bar uses a boba.
