    Iqunix is definitely getting better with every iteration, I'm just hoping they swap out those terrible stabs soon and then I'll consider buying some of their boards.

    Lol needs a ferrite, the little black bead on the USB cable says it failed its radiated emissions testing without it. In other words, the keyboard iselectrically noisy without it, probably between 30 MHz to 1 GHz.Maybe I'll buy it and test it out to see. Not a big deal but points to an inherent noise design problem.

    I never comment on videos when I'm researching products, but I gotta say, that was really well put together and relaxing. Gave it a like too. Thanks for the video.
    I know 2.4ghz is supposed to be low latency, but do you know the actual latency in ms and polling rate compared to wired? For example the Akko 3098b lies about 1ms/1000hz for 2.4ghz when it's actually substantially worse. Also, does the hot swap support just 3 pin, 5 pin, or both? Thank you.

    My F97 seems to rattle more on the space bar, and that costar stabs gives me palpitations. Any suggestion how to make it less rattly and hollow? Lots of pinging sound with the Brown Cherry too. So thinking of changing them to Glorious Panda (factory lubed).

      You can refer to this video for the costar stabs. To remove hollowness, you can fill the inside of keycaps.
      For the pingy Cherry switches, you need to lube the springs. Or any lubed switches.

    • @Tjenaretjenaremannen
      @Tjenaretjenaremannen 2 роки тому

      ​@@3ildcat Can it also be because of the keycaps, that these are KDA profile that the spacebar sounds different. F96 had OEM profile keycaps, which means a bit higher keycaps and maybe those would absorb more of the chock/sound and create another sound profile? Just speculating XD Because previously I also hade F96 Coral Sea but now have F97 Hitchhiker, while rest of the board sounds better the spacebar sounds more and less good but don't know exaclty why it sounds less good....

      @HailToTheMeep Рік тому +1

      @@lizzyb258 Yep I did. I changed the switches to PRELUBED GLORIOUS PANDA and changed all the keycaps to an MT3 set. This has literally tripled if not quadrupled the cost of my IQUINIX. It would have been cheaper to participate in a group buy of a completely custom keyboard that you can build yourself where you buy your own switches and keycaps. BUT, this was my first entry to the mechanical keyboard world so I was way in over my head and I did not know any better. I still don't know what I am doing but we all have to start somewhere. My IQUINIX F97 Var X now looks (and sounds) like a totally new keyboard and I love it 💀🥲

    Is it normal for a spacebar to have a little back and forth movement? For example if you take your finger on the spacebar and move it towards the Z row and back towards you the spacebar can move a little? Bought a iQunix F97 and am not sure if this is normal for a higher price keyboard or it it is unavoidable.
