DynaCap™ FAQs
DynaCap™ is sold worldwide through our network of Authorized Retailers.
While our sliders do much of the work, our housings do contribute to the solution. All keycap profiles and manufacturers are different, and even the same profile from the same manufacturer produced at different times could product different results. Many GMK CYL sets will have zero interference with the use of DynaCap™ sliders in any OEM or aftermarket housing. Some, however will require our housings to remove the last bit of interference.
While we highly recommend the use of silencing rings, you technically can use DynaCap™ parts without them. Please know that if you choose not to use silencing rings, you will experience a bit more wobble and rattle. Adding rings reduces travel distance while also reducing wobble and rattle. While we recommend the use of 0.5mm silicone silencing rings, you can choose 0.3mm thick rings instead, which will maximize your travel distance while still preventing some wobble/rattle.
Yes! DynaCap™ is compatible with 1.2mm thick plates with OEM cutouts. You just have to pair them with our housing gaskets.
Short answer: match the holes. Most 2u housing cutouts are paired with 1-2 threaded holes towards the corners. Those holes will either be above or below the cutout. Orient the 2u housing so the holes are on the same side (a screw passes through the housing hole and threads in to the plate). While it is possible snap the 2u housing in either way, only one direction is correct. If your keycap is misaligned (too high or low), ensure the housing is oriented correctly.
EC is so unique - it's difficult to compare spring weight in MX to the dome weight in EC. As a generalization, if you happen to bottom out your switches consistently, an EC 45g switch will feel heavier than a MX 45g switch. Without having tried EC before, if you are accustomed to bottoming out your MX switches, a decent generalization is to add 10g to the EC switch to map to MX weight. So if you bottom out your switches and you prefer 46-55g MX, consider choosing our 45g domes. If you're accustomed to typing light and fast without consistently bottoming out with force, choose the dome weight that matches your MX preference. If you're still not sure, we recommend starting with our Medium DOEMS (45g).
Absolutely! That's what they were designed for.
Currently, we only have have MX-mount sliders. We are considering adding Topre® stems to our lineup. Let us know in Discord if you'd be interested in that!
No. While on the surface, DynaCap™ and the Naevies are both EC switches, the footprints and internals of them are very different. No parts from either will work with the other.
The DynaCap website shares a backend with the Omnitype website. So you are able to order both brands together in one order. Building on top of omnitype.com allowed us to take advantage of much more advanced features on the front and backend to make the experience better for our customers.
Omnitype support is who you will contact for your dynacap.io orders. You can use the same messenger in the bottom left of the website or email help@dynacap.io or help@omnitype.com
