Swapped the GMK 8008 clones onto the Q1, after I installed the FR4 plate:

That looks really nice! Those GMK 8008 clones are beautiful, how is the FR4 plate?

I am a big fan of all of the boards I have FR4 in. The FR4 plate in the Q1 is getting closer to the sound I’m looking for. Also like having the extra flex on there. Didn’t install the inside standoffs to really help it out.
Still have the Holy Panda X’s in there, but should have my OG Holy Pandas lubed and filmed by this weekend and will try those out, but really interested in trying the Glorious Fox switches in there because I think I really like this board with linears. I think the extra space at the top and bottom of this frame can lend itself to a nice, deep thock with the right setup… I think I’m getting close

Very nice. I think I am just about happy with the fell of my GMMK 2 65%. I was thinking about trying a tape mod on it but first I want to get some Glorious Panda switches and see how I like those compared to the Glorious Fox switches (I love the Glorious Fox switches) then after doing that if I might try a tape mod. Have not done one yet so I am a little hesitant to try

I have a while set of Glorious Pandas lubed and filmed and they are currently the Pandas to beat. The Holy Panda X’s are lubed and they aren’t bad, but the Glorious Pandas just seem to be more consistent, quality-wise, switch to switch. The Boba U4T’s I have in my GMMK Pro with the Taro keycaps benefited tremendously from being lubed from stock. Their housing tolerances don’t seem to be as nice as Glorious or DROP/Gateron.
I was contemplating on making some Holy Bobas as well, but I just have too many other things going on right now…

Now, we’ll need a new thread where everyone shows off their builds with RedSuns GMK Samurai keycaps! 
I think that set found it’s Forever Home on my GMMK Pro.

I love it! The grid650 was the first GB I truly regret missing

Alright, it has been some time coming, but here is my latest non-GMMK Pro build. This is the new Keychron Q8 with the Glorious Pink Grapefruit keycaps. Really like these caps, though I think I could maybe have gone for making it a more gradual transition so there was more of that orangey color in the middle. Spacebars are just the stock ones, sadly there aren’t small spacebars in the Glorious sets. Would also have liked a second 1U fn key and a second B key and maybe a specific Windows key instead of “code,” but oh well.

How are you liking the Q8? I just got mine in the mail today.

It has taken some messing with to get it sounding decent, but I think that’s kinda how it is with a board like that. Coming from the GMMK Pro, which kinda makes every switch sound similar, the differences between switches and different mods is huge on the Q8. For now, FR4 plate with PE foam and Aqua Kings is my favorite combo, but I was really hoping to switch to tactiles. More research needed there, I guess.

Here’s my DURGOD VENUS.
And here is how I made it better with a simple tip: Lubing DURGOD VENUS Gat Yellow with Krytox 205 - YouTube

Good to know! I’m putting some Drop holy panda X so hopefully I get some decent sound. I did order their FR4 so will look to find foam or sound dampening. Hopefully this one is not like their Q1 as that one sounded hollow and gave out a ping. Once I added a slab of sound dampening mat it helped a lot. Thanks again for your take on this!
