Keebwerk Nasu - 13 month wait
Queen switches - 3 month wait
Custom CF Half plate - 2 month wait
GMK Redline - 29 month wait
Final build being completely underwhelming - Priceless

The wait was worth it, that red is fly...

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that man

It's ok, nothing can live up to the hype after waiting 2 years for it

Looks amazing! Just curious, why not go full split?
C0NIN t1_jdpume8 wrote
I don't even like Alice style boards, but your build looks so neat and clean, congrats!, don't let the waiting time make a dent. What's your opinion about the Queen switches?

Wait you waited for a switch group buy? Not to be disrespectful Love the red metal engine start button keycap
But why’d you put yourself in the pain of waiting for a switch group buy? Are the switches really worth it?

This sucks... Hope you can somehow find joy with that keeb. Maybe it'll get better after some modding.
That's the thing with GBs that takes over a year. I personally wouldn't want to wait more than 8 months for a keeb GB and generally avoid GMK GBs. I'm not against certain brands/manufacturer, but I highly doubt that I enjoy purchases that arrives after 1+ year. By the time it arrives, my expectations are either too high or I simply moved on and don't care about it anymore.

Yes I did, at the time it was the only way to get them and I didn't know if I'd like them but they turned out to be some of my favorite switches.
stanrc OP t1_jdqddgl wrote
Thanks! I like the queen's a lot, they have a really long spring which makes them a little unique compared to all the other jwk. They are one of the few switches I've bought a second set of.
Yoosulis t1_jdqdf29 wrote
That’s nice Are they going to be In-stock any time soon? Or are they going to go through an extra GB wave? I wanna try some more deep linears and if these are one of those then I would like to see details!
From 1 to 10 how’d you rate ‘em?
stanrc OP t1_jdqdi34 wrote
Most of the full split boards I've looked at were ortholinear and I haven't had the courage to make that leap yet. I've seen one or two split full size boards but they look too big.
stanrc OP t1_jdqdu4x wrote
I'm not sure if they get restocked often but if you search "moyu queen switches" you can probably find a store with them in stock.
I'd say an 8 or 9 for me, but everyone has different preferences
hootoohoot t1_jdqiykr wrote
Ah gotcha. Have you seen the Ultimate hacking keyboard? It’s not ortho, I think it’s a 60%.
About a month ago I made the dive from the UHK to the moonlander which is ortholinear and it wasn’t hard to adjust at all. It was actually super natural feeling and got back to my normal speeds within a week, and that’s with a ton of changes on the position of symbols/delete/enter/shift key.
stanrc OP t1_jdqk61w wrote
That looks nice I hadn't seen that one!
stanrc OP t1_jdqkbez wrote
Yep exactly.

I missed out on redline by 4 days into the hobby and still hate it. I want that set so bad but the resell value is nuts.
stanrc OP t1_jdqraoc wrote
Really? I thought they've been selling for cost?
Dukelax510 t1_jdqsszd wrote
Haven’t seen a set yet so if you see one let me know! Would love that
Will_Poke_Brains t1_jdqsu8o wrote
I mean I think it looks neat. That GMK Redline wait is crazy tho. I wonder if they have extras, I want that set for my red Rama thermal
stanrc OP t1_jdqtgqy wrote
Just keep an eye out on mechmarket, and I assume Omnitype will have extras at some point.
stanrc OP t1_jdqtigo wrote
Yeah would def look good on a thermal
ElohimBashamayim t1_jdr7zj7 wrote
At least its pretty!
ApostatePipe t1_jdrky77 wrote
I just traded my set for a keyboard + accessories that retail for almost 3x the price. They seem to be quite valuable.
stanrc OP t1_jdrniwr wrote
That's lucky I guess. I've seen multiple base sets going for $130, seems more than fair.
C0NIN t1_jdrpc8t wrote
Got it, might get some to try them out, thank you!
stanrc OP t1_jdrqn2m wrote
Here's a sound test I just did with them

C0NIN t1_jdrtor5 wrote
Nice!, I really appreciate it!, seems like I'm convinced now. :3
ApostatePipe t1_jdrvq1h wrote
I definitely happened to find the right guy.
hootoohoot t1_jdrzxo8 wrote
Highly recommend both if you are looking in the future, but the moonlander is 100x better haha, the software is unmatched
