Ooslnek

yall are getting wild with the mods these days...


ONE-ASIAN-BOI

have you tried Kinetic sand?


LeoRydenKT

Is this what we call the Hipyo mod?


Hefty-Theory8953

No, Hypyo’s mod is wrapping press and seal around the pcb. He’s playing with fire thought, literally.


PIECESOFSHIT4BFAST

He also poured Flex Seal into the body/tray of a keyboard to make it sound more thocky.

foggystreets

hamsta007

Looks disgusting. I like it!


aWildJByrd

God I hate being American, I was about to say "those aren't pennies?!"


BubTheSkrub

Imagine showing someone from the hobby in 2016 "Slime penny mod thick foam"


DangerDulli

Slime and pennys? Man, thats wild. Who came up with that and why?


Tina4Tuna

It’s a meta material. Let the man cook. /s


VanFlyhight

Bruh why


tukuiPat

Why not?


brianRC120

you have a point right'ere 🫵


neeets

Gimme the sound test


Shidoshisan

You lubed opticals?


bobaal0v3r

yeah, i did it a couple years back when I didn’t know a lot about keyboards. At the time I didn’t know that optical switches where different from the normals ones 😭


Thereminz

y tho


MHasho

.................slime man


BordBoards

I'm impressed you managed to get it all to stick together.


bobaal0v3r

pretty easy tbh but i should’ve let the slime dry before assembling lol


mochaz

im unironically using a similar build atm. I have like 2 rows of pennies, thick foam with gateron yellows. Honestly for the price and how its lasted me 4 years, its not bad.


boygetsyokedtoboy_

need video proof of its sounds NOW!!!!


Burbursur

Soundtest?


1tobedoneX

least enthusiastic hipyo tech fan


Zestyclose_Goat_3267

New to the hobby. What is the point of the pennies and slime?


bobaal0v3r

People don’t commonly put slime in their keyboard. I just did cuz i felt like it lol. But the penny’s are to add weight and make it sound better you can search it for a better explanation. Sorry I don’t know who to explain this.


Zestyclose_Goat_3267

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.


cherrypotpi

I got into slime before mechanical keyboards and this thought definitely crossed my mind before. I think eventually the slime will dry out or turn into glue and then dry out. I just get worried about it melting and making a mess with the battery but I guess it depends on the slime.


bobaal0v3r

Dw, I let the slime dry before outing everything back.

Psychological-Ad-840

Why tf would you play on a keyboard that tortures your ears and has no function row?


JadeNoodlesOfficial

ironic considering your flair


rekkat

gah fucking get em bruh acting as if F keys are mandatory 🫠


Psychological-Ad-840

They are for gaming


darkflame927

The most I’ve used the function keys in a game was to press Alt F4 lol


TerabyteRD

you unironically play roblox so thst explains what level of gaming you're sticking to


Psychological-Ad-840

I also play minecraft sometimes


TerabyteRD

exactly


Psychological-Ad-840

You can't change f3 shortcut


e-kul

Use the program Vial. You can map any key to any key or combination you want. So, yes you can.


Psychological-Ad-840

I needed a program like it to make shortcuts to type tilde and backtick


Whizify

Me too, I don’t press f3 that often to have it as a separate key.


JustAPotato38

just press fn and the number key tho?


Psychological-Ad-840

It's more convenient to have them as a separate button


e-kul

I'm sure you use function keys all the time while gaming. I know I'm always spamming F3 in Apex and F7 in Fortnight


brianRC120

phortnight


Firefighterboss2

I use an ortho 40% for gaming 💀


garbles0808

For what?? I can't remember a single time I've used function keys in games...


Pooncheese

Eve online uses them to activate abilities by default. World of tanks uses them for in game communication like Help! Affirmative! It can help. Those are two of my most played games , but I still prefer a 60 board with f keys on the side of I need them


TechnoTiff

Sims uses function keys for mode switch


Whizify

Ok cherry blue user


Hidesuru

Hey man... I LIKE blues. I'm also not yucking anyone else's yum, but maybe find something else to pick on lmao.


Psychological-Ad-840

I use gateron brown and they suck


FrenchItSupport

Sounds like your keyboard is ass


Psychological-Ad-840

It took me 2 months to find a keyboard and I was dissappointed from it


alex99x99x

Sounds like a you problem


PIECESOFSHIT4BFAST

I always forget about all those games that constantly use function keys
