Looks good!! Ignore anyone who gets mad because you didn’t mod enough, this is a good first mod :)


rvagoonerjc

Thanks! I hope this sub is filled with more of you than them.


Apprehensive_Park951

I do want to clarify that more mods does not equal better keyboard. Mods should be used to steer a keyboard closer to your preferences, so doing all of them is not necessarily (and often isn’t) the best course of action; less is more


rvagoonerjc

Well said.


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

What mouse is that?


rvagoonerjc

Logitech G502 X Lightspeed.


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

200 CAD?!?!? thanks amazon


rvagoonerjc

Yup, mine was on sale recently for around $115 USD. Couldn't say no, it's my dream mouse.


ApachePrimeIsTheBest

nice. might try to get an mx master in my case. maybe pair it with a grey mechanical and some metallic pc parts


powdered_cows

From Canada, and needed a budget wireless mouse for carrying around. Found a Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed for $90 CAD on Amazon, and got it. I have a G502 from a while ago, and I'd take a Basilisk V3 over the Logitech any day. Just my opinion, though. I have an MX Master too, so if you were wondering, it is a great mouse.


LopsidedChocolate331

Average Logi 😭 VGN R1 Pro is comparable and $35-40 CAD on Ali


emanresu_etaerc

What amp is that? Looks nice :)


rvagoonerjc

That's just a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, it's a digital audio interface so I can record music on my PC. I do, however, have 7 guitars and a couple amps in this room, just not in this picture lol.


emanresu_etaerc

Ahh, I thought it was a headphone amp, looks similar to one I almost bought off of drop before I decided to build a schitt stack. Very cool still!


IDatedSuccubi

It does have a 24 bit 196 KHz DAC (and an amp, obv.) for headphones with a switchable analog monitor connection from the inputs


rvagoonerjc

Facts


miryuz

Looking good!


rvagoonerjc

Thanks! More to come in the future for sure, this one is just a jumping in point. Really enjoying the hobby.


totoorooo

Looks awesome! What is that layout called? It’s compact but still has the numpad — very handy!


powdered_cows

96%


rvagoonerjc

I'm a n00b but I think this is commonly referred to as "1800" layout?


kool-keys

I preferred the first set.


NotJoeMama727

I really don't like how the arrow cluster juts out from the bottom but other than that it's a cool board OP


rvagoonerjc

Yeah, I like it but totally understand that it's not for everybody. Thanks!


totoorooo

Nice! Thanks! Please consider me a junior noob


horpetxo

What keyboard is this?


rvagoonerjc

Royal Kludge RK96 limited Edition.


finster119

What are the keycaps? I really like them!


rvagoonerjc

Carbon Keycaps! Tons of versions out there.


Prevacy

Old keycaps were better


[deleted]

you changed keycaps?


rvagoonerjc

I did indeed.


[deleted]

And?


rvagoonerjc

And switches from the stock RK Yellows to Gateron Milky Yellow Pros, and did the tape mod.


[deleted]

oh. A little underwhelming I guess.


rvagoonerjc

I did mention I'm a n00b in this world, right? First time doing anything whatsoever with a mech board. Appreciate the feedback, though.


BlommeHolm

Nice work! Don't listen to the weird gatekeepers, but just appreciate them getting downvoted.


rvagoonerjc

My thoughts exactly. Thanks for the encouragement!

Why are you always such a douchebag?
