I believe that it “thocks,” from what I understand. It sounds also like it’s kinda sandy, if you know what I mean. Not sure how to describe it. But yeah, I love this thing to death already.
Anyone else has one? And if so, which one? Which type?
I got a Nuphy 75 v2, for the record, just yesterday.
I have some 35?gram linears I eventually wanna stuff into an a.dux if I ever get around to making it. I might eventually make a clone of my Sweep and put 25g in it for longer session typing unless I end up liking splay, then the next logical path is designing something between an a.dux and a Sweep lol.
I’d like to make one of the sub 35% boards like the hummingbird some day but idk how I’d go about using it and honestly soldering diodes scares me rofl .
Small keyboards are cramped, and require more complex layouts, so I have 64 keys and zero issues :)
Soldering diodes - you need tweezers, which are by default closed. Grab a diode with tweezers (you won’t need to put pressure on it because normally-closed tweezers), orient it (it’ll have some indication of the direction, as should the footprint where it’ll go), solder one pad, solder the other one. Test the diodes afterwards. A bit of practice with desoldering and resoldering some junk PCBs will help to understand how it feels. The soldering issues I had were primarily with pins on the controller disconnecting sporadically (but that is because the pins were shit and so would work properly only if I initially did everything correctly, and I didn’t, so I had to resolder that two times) and LEDs, for which I have learned that I needed to fully convince the solder to cover the pad. Diodes are much more robust than LEDs.
Through-hole is very easy, put them in, bend the legs a bit, solder them, cut the excess off. Again, a bit of practice will be good. There’s even training kits available online, but I dunno how it’s for other countries.
I can def handle through-hole. It’s the SMD ones I feel like would be my downfall. At this point I’d probably rather pay someoe to build anything that requires diodes, for me. Part of why I gravitated towards Ferris Sweep and other small no frills boards is because they are really simple to build. I’d like something like a Lily58 some day for gaming through. I can game on 34 keys but I have to get creative lol.
