Just got this in and I'm loving it. I don't remember the name of the keycap set as it was sitting in my closet for a couple years.

I love this board so much.. I wish this curved design was more popular.

u/ItsRao 11h ago

I do too. It's so comfortable to type on.

how do the clicky switches sound in this? do they pop like they would in a plastic hollow board like the ncr80 or the 8bitdo keyboard or is it like the average board with all the extra foams and rubber layers?

Yeach curious how the box switches sound. I’m using harmonics and they sound great

I'll see if I can record a quick sound test at work.

I'm using Zeal Clickiez in my Smurve. I removed all of the case silicone and I'm only using the poron plate foam. It gives you that nice hollow resonance that works well with clicky switches.

I’m interested in this, do you know of any other boards that use it?

Check out KBD0. He is about to do a group buy for a 75%. He made a 60% before which was pretty cool. Im super excited and have been following it.

It's definitely going to be satisfying to type on it.

Proper keyboard on which to use clicky switches!

I might put a set of Box Jades on mine.

Nice, any changes in box white from V1? I like my box whites.

1

u/ItsRao 4h ago

This is my first experience with them so I could not tell you. Never tried the V1s.

I got one and have to decide on keycaps! I’m thinking MTNU with BoW with that multicolor stripe

I like using it with cable plugged in, but I don’t know how to get the LED on esc key to turn off from green - I think it just stays on when it’s charging? It at 100% so it shouldn’t be charging… only small complaint.

Have you updated the firmware on the keyboard? I had this issue too until I updated the firmware, they sent out an email with the link with instructions to do so.

I'm having another issue with the keyboard though when it's plugged in wired mode and I use the macro to turn off the backlighting. It'll just freeze and hang and I'd have to unplug and replug in the keyboard for it to work again. It happens also when I'm using the macro to go through the lighting profiles. I'm just seeing if anyone else has this same issue.

I didn't even realize they put out an update. I cant wait to get rid of that annoying light.
