F1-8X V2 (Half Plate) | HMX Xinhai | GMK Evil Dolch

Описание: I’ve always found HMX switches to sound a bit thin on the stock alu v1.1 plate so I never really bothered with them. This time, I figured I’d try a half plate since it tends to deepen and mute the sound slightly. I like this build way more. It made me appreciate HMX switches on this board again.

The pins on HMX switches are extremely thin, which makes them tricky to work with since they fall out easily. Thankfully, I have the drop/switch rail that my good buddy ‪@shylocutus‬ sent me. This isn’t my first time using it, but I happened to remember to take a photo this time. It’s been incredibly useful, and I really appreciate it. He’s been a huge influence on me and I’ve reached out to him many times whenever I’ve had questions. It’s no surprise his channel has been so successful.

So what do you all think about this configuration? Should I keep experimenting with more builds on this board or is it time to move on?
