**This DIY Kit Turned My Favorite Mechanical Keyboard into My Favorite Electrocapacitive Keyboard**
For years, I've been searching for the perfect typing experience. I've tried various mechanical keyboards, but nothing quite matches the unique feel of my beloved Topre electrocapacitive keyboard. That was until I discovered the DynaCap system – a revolutionary DIY kit that combines the best qualities of Topre and MX keyboards.
**What is DynaCap?**
DynaCap is a system of third-party, Topre-compatible parts from Clever Keebs that makes it easy and affordable to create new electrocapacitive keyboards, convert existing mechanical keyboards to EC, or modify Topre boards to use standard keycaps. The full DynaCap stack consists of sliders, housings, stabilizers, domes, springs, silencing rings, and plate gaskets.
**Why Choose DynaCap?**
The main issue with Topre keyboards is that they're not compatible with the vast majority of keycap sets on the market due to their unique MX mount style. However, DynaCap parts are designed to be intercompatible with Topre components, making it possible to use Topre-style switches in your favorite mechanical keyboard.
**My Experience with DynaCap**
I recently had the chance to try out the DynaCap system by converting my beloved Omnitype Bauer Lite 65% keyboard kit. The process was surprisingly straightforward, and I was thrilled to discover that the medium-weight DynaCap domes felt just a touch lighter than the 45g Topre domes in my HHKB review unit.
**The Benefits of DynaCap**
While mechanical keyboards are great, they often lack the tactile bump and oneness with cup rubber that Topre switches provide. With DynaCap, I can now enjoy the best qualities of both worlds – the feel of a Topre keyboard without breaking the bank or building it from scratch.
**The Price: A Bargain for Enthusiasts**
One of the most significant advantages of DynaCap is its affordability. For around $250, you can get a set of keycaps and a couple of hours' worth of assembly to create your dream electrocapacitive keyboard. Compare this to the $3,600 Norbauer Seneca or the happy hacking Keyboard costing south of $300.
**The Future of DynaCap**
DynaCap is working with keyboard vendors to sell DynaPaks – kits that include all the parts needed to convert your keyboard. Several upcoming group buys also include DynaCap options, making it easier than ever to experience the magic of electrocapacitive switches.
In conclusion, the DynaCap system has transformed my favorite mechanical keyboard into my new go-to electrocapacitive keyboard. With its affordability and ease of use, I highly recommend trying out this innovative DIY kit – you won't be disappointed!
