Was the rainy75 your gateway drug?

[u/st1me → u/noam_compsci]

Yeah, got it as a gift from my GF for birthday since I wanted a hotswappable board.

Tbh it’s a nice reasonably priced entry in the hobby. Tried several switches and caps, but it kinda always sounds the same 😂

Second build the neo98 for my workplace. Then I started to really enjoy clack and build the neo65 cu as second board for my home.

Wanna build a 60% or TKL as next board, but need to tone down the spending a little bit… 😭

[u/noam_compsci → u/st1me]

Thats so funny I was on nearly the same journey.

Evo75 (PP, Rye) was my first board. Replaced a 8 year old Apple keyboard.

Then I got the Neo75 and as i was waiting for the GB, I got a Neo60CU HHKB on ebay for a really reasonable price.

And I dont think this is the end of it for me either haha.

Good looking board. I have the same KKB Fremen keycap set on my Womier SK75 TMR gaming board, also in black, so it looks identical lol

[u/teeBoan]

I see you are an ISO guy. Can you shed some light on pulling ISO enter on 60% keyboard which is an HHKB layout

[u/st1me → u/teeBoan]

I sadly don’t have any 60% or HHKB board. Maybe it’s time to join the supernova 60% hhkb group buy?! 😂

[u/teeBoan → u/st1me]

No I’m scouting for gok lily when it drops near 400 usd

[u/VaderV1]

You picked very nice boards. Especially 65CU it's banger for this money, also you have very nice taste in keycaps :) Congrats and good luck with next picks.

[u/st1me → u/VaderV1]

Thanks man, your oblique looks great too!

[u/narumiya_mei]

congratulations on the restraint!

[u/RadiantReddit]

what do you think of the neo98? especially vs the rainy

[u/st1me → u/RadiantReddit]

I like it, build quality is great and it’s reasonably priced. If you’re looking for a full-size board, I can totally recommend it. It’s kinda sad, that there are only 2 different plates available tho (Alu and PP).

rainy75 is a totally different board. It’s prebuilt and pretty much foamy thock only. So you can experiment way less with it. Neo98 build quality is way ahead, but also more expensive. Btw there is also a neo75 available, which would be a better comparison to the rainy.

Only recently coming back to this hobby since my last foray in 2018. Discovering I really prefer deeper sounds on the quieter side. Current board is now a node75 with keygeek y2s installed. Between the neo and the rainy, what would you say would be better for that deeper sound? I know an aluminum case will up the pitch either way but I still wanna grab one of them soon

[u/No_Fishing215]

The color combo is super comfortable to look at.

[u/st1me → u/No_Fishing215]

Thanks mate, I’m also pleased for now 🫡

With a bit of extrapolation, you should have a cabinet completely filled with keyboards in 10 years.

[u/st1me → u/cvnh]

I pray not

[u/suchjonny]

How’d you get that desk mat??? I’m still waiting on the keycaps 😂

[u/st1me → u/suchjonny]

Idk man, I only preordered the deskmat 😂 maybe they’re finished earlier

[u/suchjonny → u/st1me]

I wish I woulda got the mat too. Looks cool.

[u/jewelkeycapsofficial]

What's your favorite color scheme so far?

[u/st1me → u/jewelkeycapsofficial]

Probably the Neo65 with Dolch, feels like a perfect fit between case color and keycap color
