It’s probably gonna be super expensive, but that Matrix Faukwaa TKL is pretty slick IMO. Although I am a big sucker for Cherry lips on boards!
Same! It looks like the Matrix is $620 and the Tohsi is $650 with the wristrest and $530 w/o it…ugh, I’ll probably close all my tabs and forget about it haha
Ordered F12/F13 combo hotswap Bastion TKL PCB from CannonKeys. F12 version was out so I had to spend the extra dollar for combo version.
AFAIK it’s a drop in replacement for Hiney’s h87 or h88 PCBs but .
Ordered Sally Hansen “Good Kind Pure” clear nail polish to see if it can tighten loose keycaps and contact leaves. PTFE tape works but it’s tedious to apply.
My wife tells me all nail polishes will chip sooner or later. So the risk of chips slipping into switches is real but I wanted to find out first-hand.
Another solution is to use grease but don’t want to risk them leaking out on hot days. Not yet anyway.
Besides durability concerns (the possibility of chipping that you mention), another issue with nail polish may be that it could be tricky (and/or tedious) to consistently apply with the same level of thickness each time.
Could be but I like to try things when cost of trying is cheap. For $8 and a few unused keycaps, I’ll learn something.
