I've never had a double typed letter from an optical switch

[pulsar folio]

one of the reasons I really hate Corsair keyboards, maybe they're better these days (or some of them), idk

[glossy sandal]

that’s weird, I’ll check some stuff later if I remember

[pulsar folio]

I've never had any double typed letters on brown switches that I can recall

[urban panther]

I've had cherry, gateron, akko, and roselias double click

[pulsar folio]

also not on these Gatreon Lynx switches, not so far anyway

which types though? red? brown?

[urban panther]

My phone keeps wanting to autocorrect tactile to tactical what the fuck

Linear tactile and clicky

All doubles click

[pulsar folio]

tactical switches! let's get ourselves some tactical switches!

actually, just now managed to have two registration of a letter 😮

idk how or why, maybe it was just me not being used to these linear switches

[urban panther]

Keychron, Corsair, Logitech, gamakay, glorious for the PCBs

Like sometimes I just get a triple y

[pulsar folio]

hmm weird, don't think I've ever experienced it on tactile or clicky switches

[glossy sandal]

from what I read it could have something to do with how the switches are seated

[pulsar folio]

tried messing with how long you have to hold it down before it starts adding more of the letter?

[glossy sandal]

Not making full contact with the pcb

[pulsar folio]

I did that on one of my keyboards, and it made that double type issue go away

[urban panther]

I've had it in hot swap and soldered

[pulsar folio]

yeah, I've had it in soldered mostly (or only)

sometimes I believe it's just a result of me being too slow, and expecting a little bump (like in tactile switches)

I have a Corsair K63 with Cherry MX Red switches, and that is particularly difficult to avoid double typing keys on iirc

[urban panther]

My keychrons with akkos are pretty bad

[pulsar folio]

I had a CoolerMaster something something with brown switches, where I could adjust the delay it takes before it starts spamming a key once I hold it down

[urban panther]

Idk if it's the switches or the PCBs at this point, since they're the same on both boards

[pulsar folio]

it can probably be either or both 😛

or it can be you not releasing quick enough

manufacturing flaw in your batch?

[glossy sandal]

yeah after reading a bit

[pulsar folio]

hard to say, mix of one or more of those maybe?

[glossy sandal]

Could be either or

[urban panther]

Maybe but it doesn't happen on my k100 lol

And I don't think I type differently on that

[pulsar folio]

what type is k100? mx red?

[urban panther]

Optical

[pulsar folio]

ahh, well how long do you have to hold down a key before it starts spamming them?

[urban panther]

Uh

[pulsar folio]

on my Keychron Q3, I have to hold it down a significant amount of time

[urban panther]

A normal amount of time?

I've never timed it

[pulsar folio]

if you can get an accurate measurement of that, you might have something more to go on when it comes to this double typing issue

[glossy sandal]

could very well be user error lol

[pulsar folio]

try some heavy mechanical switches? tactile and heavy

[glossy sandal]

like my fingers leave the keys as soon as I bottomout

[pulsar folio]

(my brain just corrected tactile to tactical, oh no, what did we do! )

[glossy sandal]

sometimes just even actuating

[urban panther]

I do short bursty typing. I slam on the keys and let up pretty quick

[pulsar folio]

yeah, my "tactile bump" is when I bottom out the switch with these Lynx ones 😛 so I leave the key just then

[glossy sandal]

I wouldn’t trust Corsair much with keyboard stuff

Or like any off the shelve board really

[urban panther]

Like I'm not holding a key down long enough for 3 actuations lol

[pulsar folio]

I really liked my CoolerMaster keyboards (with brown switches)

I stopped buying anything other than brown switches

[glossy sandal]

why not try other light tactiles?

[pulsar folio]

(back when I used to shop keyboards, it was usually a pick between linear, clicky, or tactile - so red, blue, or brown)

[urban panther]

Oh technically the term in key chatter for keyboards

[glossy sandal]

OHHH

key chatter

[pulsar folio]

key chatter = double typing? or what we referred to as double typing?

[urban panther]

I think

[glossy sandal]

yeah pretty much

[pulsar folio]

3 actuations seems a little excessive yeah, even if you're 70 and never used a computer before

[glossy sandal]

When it registers more than like once

[urban panther]

Yes

[pulsar folio]

you need to fall asleep on the key at that point

[urban panther]

Lmao my b on the term

[glossy sandal]

I mean if you hold a key more than like a second it’ll start registering more keys

But keychatter can happen with faulty switches

[urban panther]

And solder

[glossy sandal]

People usually do something stupid to their switches i.e lubing them with something they’re not supposed to

[urban panther]

Which is why I don't think I've had it with optical PCBs

[glossy sandal]

also could happen if you don’t clean your board regularly

[urban panther]

It happened on my Q3 out of the box

But the keychron switches and the akkos are preluded

So no variables to eliminate there

[glossy sandal]

You can usually just up the denounce and it’ll solve the issue

It’s never been an issue for me, I’m not sure..

[pulsar folio]

hence why I suggested messing with the activation time for repeating keypresses

idk how that's done on most keyboards, but with QMK/VIA, it's probably trivial?

[pulsar folio]

doesn't happen on my Q3 😮

[glossy sandal]

yeah might be because Akko pins are thinner and going into kailh sockets

[pulsar folio]

I have some gatreon brown switches for everything but the letters, and Gatreon Lynx Lubed switches for the letters

[urban panther]

The akkos are worse for chatter than the gats were

Wish keychron would offer a heavy linear on the custom boards

[glossy sandal]

you can buy cheap ones

jwick blacks are like 22$ for 90

[pulsar folio]

can't you just buy barebones and get some that are heavy?

[glossy sandal]

They’re amazing

[urban panther]

I mean, the switches + keycaps for $20 are totally worth it as spares

[glossy sandal]

yeah that’s true

[urban panther]

Just wish they offered blacks instead of reds

[glossy sandal]

gateron g pro switches are decent

[urban panther]

Never liked red style switches

[glossy sandal]

They’re following cherry with blue, brown and red

I personally would prefer if they did heavier tactiles but that’s just me

[urban panther]

That too

[pulsar folio]

they have barebones though, probably exactly for this reason 😛

[glossy sandal]

I never bought a prebuilt lol

Fell down the rabbit hole without getting into membranes

[urban panther]

They added more keycap color options to the customs, so hopefully more switch options are coming

[glossy sandal]

doubt

[urban panther]

F

[viscid tapir]

how do akko switches compare to cherry based on color

i can see what red is but what is purple

[amber tartan]

its a tactile

[viscid tapir]

tactile like blue or brown

like it is loud or more quiet

[amber tartan]

its quiet

when i say tactile it automatically implies its not clicky

unless i specifically mention its clicky

[unkempt dome]

Blue are clicky and have a tactile bump

Clicky and tactile are not the same category of switches

Even tho clicky have a tactile bump they are called clicky and not "tactile with a click"

[viscid tapir]

you mean click as sound or click as fee

i like the feell of it just not the sound

so what tactile is tatile and tactile is clicky and tactile

boy those are weird names for them but sure

hard to find tactile without a click

especially looking for all black or black and red keyboard

[amber tartan]

tactile means the clicky feel, but not the sound

[amber tartan]

youre making this hard for yourself

there are 3 major feels of switches, that is linear, tactile and clicky

when people say tactile, they mean ONLY the feel

when people say clicky, they mean the sound

[viscid tapir]

yea tactile are like bronw and clicky are like blue

i would call them loud and quiet clicky

but why are all keyboard they make usually either orange or blue

i cannot seemm to find any back

i mean not any i come across is just blackk

i hate current one missing out letters

[amber tartan]

?

[viscid tapir]

looking for a mechanical keyboard with tactile switches

i would prefer if it is in black

[viscid tapir]

thank you for the links but i am from eu

and i am looking at someting for like 100eur max 150eur

[boreal rivet]

buy used

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/

https://www.ebay.com/

[viscid tapir]

we have a high import tax on unlicensed or without a certificate items over border i would probably rather buy something like keychron or akko

but it is reallly hard to find any kind of a minimalistic without orange or blue

[amber tartan]

i dont think it matters you cant see the switches without lifting the caps

@royal patrol found it

https://www.zfrontier.com/app/flow/eMzxwXrA1LRz

@loud nova in case you also wanted to see it

[loud nova]

goddamn

[royal patrol]

bro is him

he’s the guy

[amber tartan]

who

[boreal rivet]

mans needs to touch grass

[amber tartan]

he has a falco thats covered in fake grass

[boreal rivet]

sad

[amber tartan]

tbh he probably has a lawn bigger than most

[boreal rivet]

having a lawn doesn't mean he touches grass though

[amber tartan]

true....

[unkempt dome]

Well that would be wrong to call them that

[viscid tapir]

why is that not like the main difference

maybe it is just me but blue and brown feel the same to me with headphones on

[unkempt dome]

Cause one has mechanism to make the click sound and the other don't

[amber tartan]

click jackets

kalih uses click bars

[indigo prism]

hello guys i have this sk68 keyboard and i wanna take a ss

for that i have to press windows and ps

but the keybaord has ps on the letter U and it dosnt screenshot

what do i do ?

[amber tartan]

try fn + u

or windows + fn+u

[indigo prism]

when i press fn it locks the window button

when i press windows fn and u it keeps pressing 4 for some reason

[boreal rivet]

win shift s

[indigo prism]

oh it works thanks ❤️

[unkempt dome]

Fn+u

[waxen wigeon]

What’s the most I should pay for this

[amber tartan]

not a lot

its not a very expensive board

[waxen wigeon]

Seller is asking for like $320

That’s his lowest

[calm rune]

god damn

[chrome raft]

Hey can anyone recommend me a customizable RGB keyboard on Amazon?

[amber tartan]

def not worth

[glossy sandal]

ciy X77, keychron V1

There’s some others but they’re not really worth listing

[unkempt river]

magic keyboard W

[cyan tree]

I’m looking for key caps for my razor huntsman elite, and I’m new to this. Is there a place I can find these with an amount of variety? Or, is there a term or identifier I can use to search for them?

[glossy sandal]

avoid cherry profile keycaps

maybe I can help you pick some out

since like 98% of keycaps are made for mx style stems

[cyan tree]

Keychron k4 96% a good starter?

[glossy sandal]

sure

do you plan to swap switches out later?

[cyan tree]

Nope

[glossy sandal]

you know which switches you want then?

Or which type

[cyan tree]

I’m just looking for something that looks cool and works well (last keyboard for a while type thing)

And yes, blue

[glossy sandal]

coolio

if you don’t plan to change out switches ever I would suggest Leopold

[cyan tree]

Really?

[glossy sandal]

They make 1800/full size boards

and they’re pretty up there for prebuilt

[cyan tree]

I’m on a sub 100 budget

Silly, I know

[glossy sandal]

I’ve tried this one personally, loved it

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3564

119$

[glossy sandal]

not really, people ask for a lot more for less lmao

[cyan tree]

Yeah, I’m not looking for perfection

[unkempt dome]

I want a full custom keyboard for 35$ max kind of things we see

[cyan tree]

Nooo?

[glossy sandal]

can I get a full alu cnc tkl with a 3 kg weight for 40$

(has to thock)

[unkempt dome]

yeah stuff like that

[glossy sandal]

this is really solid though @cyan tree

[unkempt dome]

alu and thock ...

[glossy sandal]

I would take it any day over a keychron 1800 (k series)

[unkempt dome]

leopold is a premium prebuilt maker

can't go wrong with them

[cyan tree]

Ok, Ima look at that

[unkempt dome]

maybe varmilo

[glossy sandal]

I don’t really like varmilo

their keycaps feel thin and cheap

Leopolds are on the thinner side but are really solid for prebuilts

[unkempt dome]

varmilo has beautiful color diversity

[glossy sandal]

I guess they have that going for them

[cyan tree]

I need color

Gotta have it

[glossy sandal]

check out varmilo then I guess

If you’re looking for color also check out Akko

[cyan tree]

Ok, but varmilo seems to be out of my budget

I’ll look at Akko

[nova scarab]

Akko has neat colorways, but no blanks 😦

[cyan tree]

Ok, I think I’ll stick with the one I picked, because I do need a numpad

[unkempt dome]

akko has clear keycaps tho

[cyan tree]

Thanks for all your help guys!

[nova scarab]

Still need color! Just sans legends

[pulsar folio]

oh man, brought my Q3 build to work yesterday as well as my Ducky One2 TKL, and now that I left my Q3 at home, and am stuck with One2 at work

until yesterday or day before I thought One2 was actually one of the better keyboards I've ever used

but now, not so much

[chrome raft]

I need a good 65 percent keyboard for gaming that's really good but budget friendly say 45 dollars to 90

help me enthusiasts

[amber tartan]

keychron maybe

[chrome raft]

hmm

alr

I'll check em out do you have a suggested model

[amber tartan]

you wanted a 65% so get the 65% ig

their boards are the same but just diff factors

[chrome raft]

oh alr

what kind of switches you suggest

[amber tartan]

this you have to pick on your own

[chrome raft]

tactile

[chrome raft]

does it make a diff

[amber tartan]

yes

[chrome raft]

how

[amber tartan]

your typing experience depends on it

[chrome raft]

well

there's red and dolch

[chrome raft]

I'd say I'm a new typer

[amber tartan]

maybe just go linear

you can have more complex flavours later when you get into it

[chrome raft]

alr

so red

there's blue red and brown what's linear😭

[amber tartan]

red is linear

brown is tactile

blue is clicky

[umbral pecan]

im thinking i might want to build my own keyboard but idk where to start;-; anyone got any good videos or advice? LTT forum pages?

[chrome raft]

oh Alr

thanks

[boreal rivet]

Hipyo is a clown

Bad idea

Go and watch someone normal like Nathan Kim or smth

[chrome raft]

🤣🤣

welp that's something new today

[umbral pecan]

lemme see

[chrome raft]

thanks

*hipyo looses 10thousand subscribers daily due to this comment

[amber tartan]

depends what youre getting into

most yt videos are trash

[chrome raft]

well there goes my 8hrs of watch time😔

[amber tartan]

unfortunately its true

[chrome raft]

so all that foam stuff

the lubing

it's all bad

[amber tartan]

no

[chrome raft]

hmm

[amber tartan]

most of the videos are trash in a way that its just to flex, not learn about it

there are only so many videos i recommend people watching for keyboard things

you search "keyboard building guide" half of them are click baiting and out of date

[chrome raft]

ah

I see

BASED

i wonder how this could be changed to have the configure effect

[viscid tapir]

do you guys know where it is the best place to buy keychron epomaker akko in europe

amazon is mostly out of stack and i cannot order from us

[thorny hound]

can i put my typing speed test results here

[amber tartan]

no

[amber tartan]

little bits of my keyboard

[unkempt dome]

the akko german site

[gusty pivot]

Well, I wouldn't say foam and lubing are bad per se. I'm a total newbie to building or rather nodding and both had a significant impact on how my keyboard feels. But I agree that a lot of so called guides are more about flexing than actually teaching something. Hipyo in particular doesn't seem to do anything helpful in his videos, but rather just talk shit about...basically everything. Comes off as kinda arrogant.

[unkempt dome]

I don't watch much keyboard video now ... and even less sound test cause those are pretty much useless

[viscid tapir]

any recommendation which would be best out of keychron epomaker akko for like around 80-90eur and 110-120eur

looking for tacticle not clicky with low pressure and 75% or 70% preferably all black

[unkempt dome]

In that price bracket they are about the same quality
You're looking for something like cherry brown or outemu brown switches most likely ... akko tactile are a bit heavier than cherry brown so I don't think it fit the low pressure requirement

[viscid tapir]

interesting i was looking at this one

i was also looking at leopold and keychron with gateron but there is no v1 only k2

[unkempt dome]

Germany ? 19% taxes sounds German

[viscid tapir]

we have to pay slovenian tax after

because of it being imported

[unkempt dome]

well that's even worst then

[viscid tapir]

what costs 100 in us costs 200 here at least hahah

[unkempt dome]

rip

[viscid tapir]

used 2080 costs 1000 eur in slovenia

tech is so expensive here

i sold my old 1050 for 300

and bought 1080 for 450

no way to get affordable rtx here

[halcyon grail]

i saw a 2060 12gb on anni for 450€

[viscid tapir]

interesting my friend bought 3070 for 750

3060 is like 650 i think tbh

[viscid tapir]

what about pink and purple

[viscid tapir]

i hear they are pretty soft idk

[unkempt dome]

Don't know about pink

Purple has mid weight spring

[viscid tapir]

do you think any of these are worth it

most are out of stock

thinking if i should buy any of these there

all i seem to find

[gloomy grail]

Some decent gear atlast

[thin quarry]

Is mine good?

Thought y’all might appreciate this!

[amber tartan]

cat

[opaque bough]

does anyone know any TKL keyboards that have media keys?

what's that

[amber tartan]

are you having a conversation with yourself?

[opaque bough]

why the fuck did they delete their message lmao

they said "why don't you just get a media keyboard?"

[amber tartan]

oh ok

i think warship deleted his message

sometimes it deletes 2 messages

[opaque bough]

wouldn't the bot delete it instantly?

[amber tartan]

yes but it sometimes del 2

[unkempt dome]

lots of keyboard have media key you can access with fn+something

most if not all enthusiast board I know have

[opaque bough]

yeah I might just buy one with the fn thing instead of the actual button
there is a few with media keys but I don't like them

I hate the low profile keys

[unkempt dome]

logitech board are not that recommended anyway

unless you have everything logitech and are tied to ghub ... that's about the only reason to go with a logitech keyboard

[opaque bough]

I have a logitech mouse and headphones but that's it

[unkempt dome]

and then again I would advise against it

well I would not get logitech headset either

[opaque bough]

why not?

the g pro x is pretty good

[unkempt dome]

nah ... logitech, and most gaming companies, don't make good sounding headset

[opaque bough]

I mean I've used this for 2 years and I've had no issues with it

[unkempt dome]

didn't mean it would break and it was not well built

it's only about sound quality

[opaque bough]

yeah no issues

though I'm not an audiophile

[unkempt dome]

not talking about issue there ... saying that they just don't sound good, not that the sound will be distorted and such

[glossy sandal]

You can just program a board for media keys

I personally use fn+h for vol up, fn+g vol down, fn+f for mute

fn+d/fn+s for skip reverse

[unkempt dome]

I never use media key

[eternal wraith]

yo @glossy sandal

[glossy sandal]

hihi

[eternal wraith]

what brings you here?

[glossy sandal]

Astro invited me like a few days ago

I check here when I’m bored

[eternal wraith]

ah, fair

this was my first keyboard resource before hipyo 💀

[glossy sandal]

💀

[crystal remnant]

Alright keyboard people, my friend is looking for the smallest form factor keyboard but still having a dedicated function row.

Extra information, he's using optical switches

[unkempt dome]

he already has the switches

?

[crystal remnant]

Oh he probably wont build one, I wont bother suggesting it to him

[glossy sandal]

75%

Or 60/65% XT

[crystal remnant]

Perfect, I'll relay that to him

[amber tartan]

decode that

id like to see him try

[viscid tapir]

any of these worth it

tho

[unkempt dome]

both

[viscid tapir]

thinking of getting akko orange

it is not hot swappable right worried if i get a dead switch

[unkempt dome]

if it's dead on arrival just return it

you can always desolder and replace a switch

[viscid tapir]

true well shipping costs like hell here

hate sending back and forth

have you tried akko switches

but wireless is hot swappable where is logic there

[ionic haven]

Left or Right cable?
Black Paracord with Carbon Techflex
Metallic Paracord with Black Techflex

The metallic cable does have a unique light refraction effect from the RGB in the crown molding above. The darker carbon does look clean though, hard decision.

get fucked <100%ers

[unkempt dome]

Yes i have some

[waxen turret]

whatre yalls thoughts on having a numberpad on your keyboard? I personally love it but it seems like more highend keyboards are doing away with them

[long obsidian]

It’s good to be there but i dont use it so TKL or smaller is ❤️

[chilly perch]

I love numpad

use it all the time

[waxen turret]

Same, I love playing with numbers and using pin pad log ins

[unkempt dome]

Numpad is useless to me

Same for f row

[amber tartan]

seems like a massive skill issue, not having read the keyboard manual

and not everyone use KVM

https://imgur.com/a/YmFt0UX

[boreal rivet]

Who cares

Just use the layout you want goddamn

[amber tartan]

^

[gloomy patrol]

do that i raise to you

[onyx summit]

No

[eternal wraith]

theyre nice but if you just get an external one if you're anxious about a high end board not having one

aside from keychron there's really not much choice for high end keyboards with built-in numpads

or if they is, it's fucking expensive

[plain hedge]

I love using a numpad, but full sized keyboards are massive so

and hard to find

wouldn't mind shelling out a bit for an external one lol

[viscid tapir]

would you prefer them less or more than cherry and gateron

[viscid tapir]

i really liked they akko tokyo tour but i think i will wait a little if they put hot swappable back into stock if i am already buying it

[stiff field]

Hello everyone, how are you, I need help modifying some buttons on my keyboard and mouse, as you can see my external keyboard came with a different layout than the laptop keyboard one , so I want to replace the Windows button with a control button, and I want to replace this strange button with a function button, I also want to take advantage of my mouse side buttons, So what is the best application that I can reassign both mouse and keyboard buttons together.

[unkempt dome]

they are way better than any cherry I've tried
haven't tried many gateron ... yellow and red I think ... the akko I have are way better than those gateron I tried

[viscid tapir]

interesting trying to decide between akko orange and akko pink

[unkempt dome]

those I haven't tried

[viscid tapir]

pink is like red and orange is like brown

i also see lavender is pretty popular

they are selling it in those

[bleak anchor]

they’re good

i have them on my rk84 and they’re pretty good

[unkempt dome]

there's no tactile force for the orange ...

sad

[viscid tapir]

nice many i see mostly sell only orange and pink

[viscid tapir]

interesting well i saw many people like it compare them to brown

[unkempt dome]

pretty sure the tactile bump is more pronounce than brown

[bleak anchor]

cherry browns lmao

also don’t gaterons browns

[viscid tapir]

i have been using cherry brown for like 11 or 12 years

[bleak anchor]

there’s barely a tactile bump as well

[viscid tapir]

i was thinking of changing but i tried blue they were too loud and red had no bump

[bleak anchor]

compared to the lavender purples, you can barely feel the bump

[unkempt dome]

kailh brown have a nice tactility

[viscid tapir]

i am kinda looking for low pressure

i like a bump but very low pressure

[bleak anchor]

hmmmm

[unkempt dome]

cherry brown then

[bleak anchor]

yeah

[viscid tapir]

also high action would be nice for response

why do so many people hate cherry brown

all the groups i talk in they shit on them

[bleak anchor]

so you want light spring but high tactile feeling?

[viscid tapir]

yet i see they are most popular ones

i like tactile click and like high action like it gets detected fast and low pressure easy to press well soft

[unkempt dome]

they are popular only because companies still use them and most people think that cherry is still the golden standard

[viscid tapir]

i am not looking for brown i am just looking for tactile like brown

[bleak anchor]

yep

[viscid tapir]

i like to feel a click but not hear it

[bleak anchor]

there are good cherry switches, yes

but they are not the best

[viscid tapir]

i like to type on blue but i hate hearing it

[bleak anchor]

agreed

[viscid tapir]

i like click but i hate high pitch click

[unkempt dome]

cherry brown suck cause they are barely tactile, they feel like a red with sand in them ... and if you can notice the bump, the rest of the travel feel scratchy anyway

[viscid tapir]

i would like more low pitch click

[unkempt dome]

you don't feel a click, you feel a tactile bump

[viscid tapir]

more like old ibm that those new high pitch blue gaming ones

[bleak anchor]

you can get kailh silent box browns

[viscid tapir]

well bump feels like a click

idk i just like that resistance when i feel like i pressed not pushed

[unkempt dome]

click is a sound

[viscid tapir]

idk for me it seems like loud and silent click

click always seemed to me like pressing a button rather than sound i could be wrong

[unkempt dome]

click is a sound

[viscid tapir]

well people always say click a button

[bleak anchor]

i had outemu blues on my first mechanical

[unkempt dome]

nobody say it

never heard that

[bleak anchor]

biggest regret i’ve made

[viscid tapir]

idk i heard many people say it

[viscid tapir]

interesting why is that i am not a fan of them either

[unkempt dome]

cause they are clicky switches

you don't like loud click switches

[bleak anchor]

overall so far

[viscid tapir]

well there are just tactile clicky linear so that leaves linear and tactile right

[bleak anchor]

tactile switches are my favorite

[unkempt dome]

yes

[viscid tapir]

do words even matter

[unkempt dome]

yes

cause when you say silent click it's a contradiction

[viscid tapir]

this is why i say colors rather

[unkempt dome]

you can't have a clicky switch that is also silent in the way that it doesn't make sound

[viscid tapir]

in many languages there is only click

[unkempt dome]

cause clicky make sound

[viscid tapir]

we have a same word for click and press also tactile

[unkempt dome]

strange

and innacurate imo

[viscid tapir]

i did try to get into red but it felt like a controler

not really because it is not about sound but an action

we have click as a name for action not a sound

linear is not a word for sound then why call them clicky

then you should call linear ones silent

[unkempt dome]

cause clicky make sound

it's a kind of switch

which describe what the switch is

[viscid tapir]

then you would have to call them silent or muted

[unkempt dome]

silent are silent

[viscid tapir]

then what does linear describe

then you should call linear silent

[unkempt dome]

linear describe what the switch is ...

[viscid tapir]

why call some for name and others for function

then you should call all based on function

[unkempt dome]

silent is silent ... linear are not silent

[viscid tapir]

why call some based on sound and others based on function

why does this even matter

[unkempt dome]

they are called based on what they are ...

[viscid tapir]

they are just names people decided completely irrelevant

it would be more productive calling them on serial numbers or colors

this is why i tend to call them based on colors

[unkempt dome]

and yet those names are important cause when you call them something else nobody knows what you are talking abou

[viscid tapir]

because people keep attacking me based on words

i did say i am looking for brown

which would mean i am looking for ones with a tactile feature on

[unkempt dome]

yes those are tactile

[viscid tapir]

i know what they are called i am just used to call them clicky in my language we call them clicky silenc and clicky loud

because we tend to call them based on features rather tahn sound

[amber tartan]

but youre using english

[unkempt dome]

when you call them clicky silent it's not a feature ... it's a sound

[amber tartan]

and tactile and clicky is based on features

your way is based on sound

[viscid tapir]

and what do you get if you fix grammar

[amber tartan]

so a bit contradicting

[viscid tapir]

we call them based on feature our word for click means action not sound

we have a different word we use for sound

[unkempt dome]

if you remove the sound part from the way you call them you're left with both are clicky

[amber tartan]

you including clicky on both it makes it irrelevant in terms of feature

[unkempt dome]

well tactile don't click tho ... they don't have mechanism to do so

[amber tartan]

its a bump

[viscid tapir]

no we call bump or tactile clicky and then we say it is loud click or silent click

yes but bump is called click in my language

[amber tartan]

so its based on sound

[viscid tapir]

no we have another word for sound

[amber tartan]

ok but we're using english

[viscid tapir]

our word click means bump

yes and i just wrote it by accident why does it matter

[amber tartan]

no.... you just said click with sound or clicky without sound

[unkempt dome]

cause it gets confusing

[amber tartan]

im not sure where this leads to

[viscid tapir]

i did tell you i am looking for brown this should be obvious

[unkempt dome]

and then people don't know what you want

[amber tartan]

so tactiles

[viscid tapir]

yes

[amber tartan]

and?

[viscid tapir]

wat

[amber tartan]

you need recommendations?

what do you want to know about tactiles?

[viscid tapir]

well i was just asking for keyboard above if anyone tried those orange ones i hear people like them

akko

orange

[unkempt dome]

I can't say without looking at force graph

[amber tartan]

you can google the switch see some reviews

[amber tartan]

but most likely its impossible to tell how it feels without actually using it

[unkempt dome]

indeed

[viscid tapir]

idk if that is that

hahah

[amber tartan]

looks like a B bump

[unkempt dome]

60g tactile force

the second bump will feel scratchy if you notice it at all

[viscid tapir]

do all brown feel scratchy i heard people say

i am using redragon cheap brown but they feel decent

[unkempt dome]

overall I'm pretty sure they will fell like a scratchier lavender purple

[viscid tapir]

interesting thx i have never tried i only tried cherry

[amber tartan]

yes if unlubed

[unkempt dome]

vintage cherry brown don't feel scratchy ... but you mostly don't feel the tactile bump on them

[bleak anchor]

lavender purples

[viscid tapir]

do you know if any of those would be good

i would lube them but this keyboard is not hot swappable

[amber tartan]

browns have the chalky scratchy feel all cherries have

[opaque bough]

does anyone know any good 75% keyboards that have
fn + for media stuff
and backlit

[bleak anchor]

wdym

[amber tartan]

look for keyboard with qmk /+ via

they let you remap keyboards

[bleak anchor]

rk84?

[viscid tapir]

well any keyboard i check is usually not hot swappable that i could open lube change

[amber tartan]

unless you spray lube, you wont be able to lube them

[viscid tapir]

should i buy unlubed and keep it or search for prelubed or hot swappable one

most of hot swappable ones are out of stock

just looking for 75% mechanical keyboard for around 150 eur preferably in black

[amber tartan]

do you have a keyboard right now?

[opaque bough]

do you know if there's a UK layout of it?

[amber tartan]

ISO layouts

[opaque bough]

yeah iso my bad

[viscid tapir]

yes membrane and brown redragon

[amber tartan]

its pretty much impossible unless you buy crappy membranes or super high end ones

[viscid tapir]

yes on official website i think so

[amber tartan]

their isnt a big market for ISOs

[unkempt dome]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/3068s-shine-through-mechanical-keyboard/

[amber tartan]

but look for it

[viscid tapir]

thx any with functional keys

[opaque bough]

I'm just used to ISO layout tbh it's honestly way better imo

[viscid tapir]

i mean the ones above the numbers

75%

[unkempt dome]

fn + number

[viscid tapir]

instead

yes i play strategy games and do coding i have current one 65%

[unkempt dome]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/3084s-shine-through-mechanical-keyboard/

[viscid tapir]

this is why i am looking for a new keyboard

[unkempt dome]

it's the one right beside the first I sent

[amber tartan]

save up if you really wanna get into the mechanical keyboard community for real, your options really open up with more money

but its a rabbit hole

[viscid tapir]

thx this one looks great

[unkempt dome]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/5075s-shine-through-mechanical-keyboard/

or wait for that to be back in stock

[viscid tapir]

yes i was looking for this before

yesterday they sold last one

i had it in my cart already

[viscid tapir]

i can buy a keyboard for 3k hell even 5k if i want to but problem is i do not feel it is worth it

[unkempt dome]

https://en.akkogear.com/product/acr-pro-75-mechanical-keyboard/

https://en.akkogear.com/product/blackgold-3084b-plus-mechanical-keyboard/

[amber tartan]

good 4 u

[viscid tapir]

thx i was gonna buy that pc75b but it got out of stock the other ones i am not a biggest fan of the color but i like when f keys are closer rather than spaced out

[unkempt dome]

those are just keycaps

[boreal rivet]

You can get realforces in iso

[unkempt dome]

you can buy keycaps later

[viscid tapir]

i actually do like this

are those like brown and red or

[unkempt dome]

pink are linear

purple are tactile

[amber tartan]

you literally sent this chart

and then you ask the same question again

[viscid tapir]

i know i mean what is the difference in quality

[amber tartan]

read the chart bro

[boreal rivet]

None

[viscid tapir]

i am asking if anyone has them at home

[boreal rivet]

Just different feel

[unkempt dome]

i have the jelly purple

[amber tartan]

diff weight, bump whatev

[viscid tapir]

i know from the chart i just mean how they are in person

[unkempt dome]

all akko switches will have the same quality

[amber tartan]

wont know until you try

[boreal rivet]

If you want switch quality just buy a realforce

[viscid tapir]

i know this si why i asked if anyone knew i know lavender are softer than orange

[amber tartan]

if its lighter than yes

[viscid tapir]

are realforce not a lot more expensive

[unkempt dome]

lavender purple will feel about the same as orange

jelly purple are heavier than lavender purple

[amber tartan]

i think that was a joke because the ISO version of realforces discontinued a while back

[boreal rivet]

Yes and also better

[viscid tapir]

i saw realforce for 300 but nah i would rather buy this one for 100 i am not that much into keyboards i currently use redragon and logitech

[boreal rivet]

Buy one used

[unkempt dome]

used realforce are incredibly hard to find here for a decent price

[viscid tapir]

we have no ebay in slovenia it is banned they take it on border and burn it if it has no certificate

i am very careful with keyboard will they not come greasy

[boreal rivet]

Oh sad

[viscid tapir]

i hear people say they are quality

but i would hope they had better designs

[unkempt dome]

hhkb is what I would like the most but again they are really hard to find used around here

they usually goes for close to the price of a brand new one

[boreal rivet]

Import from china

China hhkbs are cheap af

[unkempt dome]

not when they arrives here

[boreal rivet]

Import tax huh

Shouldn't really be a problem no? Since the forwarder can underdeclare

[unkempt dome]

exchange rate

also lying on the value of a product is not something you want to do

[boreal rivet]

Works for me 🤷‍♂️

[unkempt dome]

they probably don't check about that where you are as much as they do here

well where do you get a chinese hhkb ?

ali express ?

taobao ?

well I just checked on ebay and it end up being about 300 $

for that price I'll just buy brand new

[viscid tapir]

just gonna buy

this

[bleak anchor]

i dont think so

just a general question

is glube is fine but lubing your switches, or should i wait to buy krytox 205g0?

[chilly perch]

I suggest browners

[bleak anchor]

wait what

[unkempt dome]

Never used glube so I can't say

[glossy sandal]

It’s a bit thick for switches, maybe use it for stabs?

[unkempt dome]

Glube is thicker than 205g0 ?

[onyx summit]

why do the gateron browns feel so light?

[unkempt dome]

Cause they are made to be similar to cherry brown which are also really light

[onyx summit]

do you think jwk t1s are a good upgrade

[unkempt dome]

No idea, never tried them

[onyx summit]

also why do they feel lighter then romergs even though it needs more force

[unkempt dome]

No idea, never tried romer g

[bleak anchor]

oh ok

[glossy sandal]

yeah

consistency is like leaning towards dielectric though a tiny bit thinner

wouldn't recommend

[unkempt dome]

Eww no indeed

[bleak anchor]

yeah rn, im gonna buy 205g0 from kinetic labs

7.5ml

im gonna relube the stock stabs and lube the lavender purples

[unkempt dome]

For tactile people suggest to get a thinner lube usually ... like the trybosis 3203

But 205g0 will do fine if you don't use too much on the switch imo

[broken quest]

Wooting 60HE

what do you guys think of this keyboard

?

[boreal rivet]

Good

Objectively better than basically all custom keyboards in terms of the switch

[loud nova]

ok, I want a wireless TKL with brown switches, and addressable RGB when on wireless.

Full size might also work

I currently am using a Keychron K8

bluetooth would be easy, but happy enough for dongle

[unkempt dome]

Bluetooth suck in terms of latency

Check other keychron keyboard or akko

Also why brown ?

Like brown as on cherry brown or as in tactile ?

[loud nova]

cherry brown (or equiv)

[loud nova]

yeah I'm just not clear on the wireless RGB support

because my current keyboard is fine, other than that

[unkempt dome]

Wireless rgb will just drain the battery way faster

[loud nova]

I absolutely do not care 🙂

[unkempt dome]

But my akko board have wireless rgb and it works well

[loud nova]

plus, I have wireless charging as well.

[unkempt dome]

So you just plug more often the keyboard and put more cycle on the battery just for rgb

[loud nova]

"just" for RGB is how I roll.

[boreal rivet]

if you don't game then go for bluetooth

the latency isn't noticeable ime

[unkempt dome]

Way too much rgb for me

[meager pollen]

Every kids dream

[loud nova]

I game, I manage with bluetooth.

[loud nova]

I'm 41 😄

[meager pollen]

I know youre an adult bit every kid just wants a beacon

28c? Whats your ambient?

[loud nova]

As a rule it's about 20 in here.

[meager pollen]

That’s pretty good

[loud nova]

I mean, there's two 360 rads and 9 fans 🙂 and that's idle

[meager pollen]

Id be confused if it was under load

[cunning anvil]

mousekeys are amazing

i dont even have a mouse attached

[loud nova]

under load it can be as low as 38 though

[cunning anvil]

but mousekeys over bt suuuuuuuucks

[loud nova]

... I just use a mouse.

[meager pollen]

Ive never had a problem with Bluetooth

[cunning anvil]

i have a mouse

[meager pollen]

I still use my logitech m171 from like 5 years ago

[cunning anvil]

i just needed to service it

[loud nova]

I have many mice 🙂 I'd just get a spare one.

[cunning anvil]

i think i have a g600

[meager pollen]

I have 8 of the same mouse lmao

[cunning anvil]

oh true

[meager pollen]

Im used to the m171 and it works for me

[cunning anvil]

im not used to having so many computers

[meager pollen]

I did modify mine to be rechargeable tho

Wireless charging

[loud nova]

I have a corsair rgb dark core pro se rgb or whatever it is, looking to replace with logitech G502X plus

[loud nova]

I just ordered long distance Qi chargers that can go under my desk for wireless charging for KB and mouse

[cunning anvil]

i want a bt mouse for moving around

[meager pollen]

I just have 8 of these

One for every pc

[loud nova]

yeah that's why I have MXM3

[cunning anvil]

any good roccat ones?

[loud nova]

probably

[cunning anvil]

hmm, i think I'd rather use Logitech

[loud nova]

I didn't get a G502, because I'm not buying micro B devices for >$100 in 2022.

[cunning anvil]

though i don't see mxm3 as supported on my software

master 2/2s are though

might get an anywhere since it's more for compact

egh might have to wait for something usbc to be supported

though I'll check out anywhere and master 3

lol mouse keys don't work on Android

[meager pollen]

Micro b should be illegal

[cunning anvil]

speaking of things that should be illegal and micro b, disposable lipo batteries

[meager pollen]

THOSE EXIST??

I diddnt know grenades were legal

[pulsar folio]

Anyone have any good sources to buy custom keyboard stuff from that’s good for Europe?

Very limited options in Norway, and Drop, KBDFans etc all ship from US I believe

[cunning anvil]

i think certain vape pen type things i keep finding AS LITTER

[brazen aspen]

Yeah there are plenty of European vendors :) check out the european vendor list at https://www.mechmap.tech/

There are some vendors in norway, but they can be pretty overpriced

Super low profile

[pulsar folio]

yeah, I've ordered from MaxGaming, they're not that insanely priced usually, and have an okay variation of products too

but thanks for the link! 🙂

https://keyb.no/ lmao this one requires a password

and there is like no information what so ever

[brazen aspen]

Yeah sadly that vendor shut down very recently

[pulsar folio]

oh, I see

[brazen aspen]

they were one of the few really good Norwegian vendors

[pulsar folio]

probably a hard market in Norway

are you Norwegian as well?

[brazen aspen]

I live in the UK

[pulsar folio]

ahh, I see

[brazen aspen]

I have to order stuff from all over europe though lol

UK didn't really have great vendors until late into the lockdowns

[stiff field]

Thanks For ignoring me :)

[amber tartan]

?

[stiff field]

About This

I've Searched A Lot But I Didn't Find The Perfect App That I was Looking For

[amber tartan]

you couldve google it?

i did one google and found it

[stiff field]

Of Course I did

I Have Already Tried Like 5 Apps

[amber tartan]

theres settings on the mac to change the keys

[stiff field]

I am using windows

Mac Suck

[amber tartan]

you never mentioned you were using windows

[stiff field]

Yes but i said that i want to replace my right windows key

[amber tartan]

with?

[gleaming atlas]

You're probably not going to find a single app to remap both your mouse and keyboard. Also I don't know of any than can remap an actual FN key (not like F1/F2 etc but FN)

[stiff field]

i don't know why but my keyboard have got two windows key

[stiff field]

That Is Exactly What i was looking for

[amber tartan]

wait are we remapping your mac's keyboard or your external keyboard

[stiff field]

but just like what you said i couldn't find any one like this

[stiff field]

my external keyboard

[amber tartan]

what apps did you try?

also the weird button you said is NOT a FN key?

because im pretty sure it is

[stiff field]

No it's not

[amber tartan]

ok....

[stiff field]

i don't remember because i have deleted them all

it's gonna be hard to search on my browsing history to find out

[amber tartan]

did you try microsoft powertools

[stiff field]

I don't think so

[amber tartan]

it should have a remap tool

it that doesnt work, buy a new keyboard h

preferably one with a DIP switch

[stiff field]

I was thinking about buying a separate keyboard

what do you think about them?

[amber tartan]

about keyboards or the idea of getting a new keyboard?

[stiff field]

getting a new one

[amber tartan]

i mean if you have the money yes its a good idea since your current one is a crappy membrane that would only last you a year or so

[stiff field]

ya i don't really like my current one

[viscid tapir]

i have rgb on my pc and i always turn it off complete pure matte black hahah or just light blue

[loud nova]

I have over 2000 RGB LEDs in this room

[viscid tapir]

but do you have it on specific color or all in rainbow

[loud nova]

I can do whatever I like.

it's all addressable and configurable 🙂

[viscid tapir]

which option do you use more often

i usually put ice blue

[loud nova]

mostly white for the room lighting 🙂

[viscid tapir]

interesting never tried white hahah

even light in my room i use mostly warm orange hahah

[pulsar folio]

Elaborate ?

More keyboard stuff arrives today

[normal patio]

Hey do you guys know any competitor to the Logitech G513 Red Switch ? Out of stock here, looking for something similar (80-120€, size : 100%, no macro-keys, rgb, wrist rest as a bonus)

[amber tartan]

is this atomic shrimp?

[normal patio]

No mate it's not a shrimp it's a keyboard, you might wanna check for a doctor soon

[amber tartan]

yeah, been workin with radioactive paint, its doin a number on my head, hence the atomic part

[modest creek]

this is just an akko keycap set on a filco board

unless I am misunderstand the question lol

[amber tartan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJvcH33ekWY

i was referencing this video

[candid vine]

Cool

@candid vine

[viscid tapir]

which keychron model would you mostly recommend

cannot find v1 only k2

[open crow]

V2

[cunning anvil]

i wonder how difficult itd be to play a first person game with mouse keys

[loud nova]

lol. are you old enough to play original doom?

[cunning anvil]

how old do i have to be before i can

[loud nova]

to HAVE played I mean 🙂

the TLDR is - holy shit is it awful.

[urban glade]

Filco good

[modest creek]

greed

Agreed

[boreal rivet]

Based filco owner

[hoary ingot]

GMMK Pro user here. Gonna add another drop into the ocean of "Glorious' PC plate has some sort of defect"

Had to switch back to the default aluminum plate after discovering it wasn't the stab itself that was causing the spacebar to stick

I guess it squeezes too hard on the sides of the stab stems? anyway, I switched out the kailh copper in the spacebar to a lubed cherry speed silver for that extra nylon pitch clack

helps distinguish the space to the other keys more.

...I was thinking of going the FR4 route of plate material next. Are there any other types of materials, 3rd party included, that would get the keys to have that nice high pitch while keeping the deep lows?

[boreal rivet]

[amber tartan]

known issue

this was an issue for a long time ago and they still havent fixed it?

crazy

[hoary ingot]

i mean tbf I think my unit was a repackaged MicroCenter moment

When I installed it, two of the screw holes had threading in them that I couldn't get out

like someone put screws in and then chopped of the top part

my GMMK pro on the other hand did not come with silicon pads under the stabs

[amber tartan]

yeah i heard there was interference with he screw holes

https://www.reddit.com/r/glorious/comments/nnb04y/gmmk_pro_stabilizer_issue/

[snow summit]

one of the keys on my keyboard has (p key) is now acting as the tab key and I switched the computers and it the keyboard still does the same thing. anyone know how if i can just switch the key or something to fix it

[amber tartan]

did it just do that on its own?

[viscid tapir]

would keychron C1 be worth getting if V1 is not in stock

i am not into anything too fancy just looking for decent mechanical hot swappable keyboard

[eternal wraith]

probably not considering the q3 is planning to be made

also those are very different layouts

[viscid tapir]

well i am looking for a keyboard that is under 100 eur

[eternal wraith]

oh sorry i meant v3

lmao

[viscid tapir]

how much will that cost

[eternal wraith]

probably around the same as a v1 or v4

[viscid tapir]

just looking for 75% tbh

v1 and v2 are never in stock

[tiny imp]

Anyone know a decently tactile keyboard on the budget end?

[viscid tapir]

i am also wondering hahah

looking at keychron and akko

[open crow]

What is the budget?

[main urchin]

hello

[snow summit]

Yes

[viscid tapir]

would you know why when i press ctrl or alt it starts beeping

it sounds like a sort of interference

[fading iris]

Anyone know a good 75% PCB I’m looking to slowly build a keyboard with everything I like
Hotswap is ideal but if it’s good enough I’m willing to solder for it

[vital orchid]

hello, im looking for a wireless mouse in the 100-120$ range , only feature that's a must is 2 side buttons
i currently have a steelseeries rival 100
any recommations? thanks

[unkempt dome]

Xtrfy mz1

Well that's the one I'm going for next

Well it's on preorder

[fading iris]

For an extra 20 or so dollars you could get the g pro super light
Which everyone knows about since it’s a popular mouse

[amber tartan]

are you willing to wait for a year for fulfillment or are you looking for instock ones

[fading iris]

I’m willing to wait

I’m wanting this to be my best one yet with my ideal switches

[amber tartan]

any budget limitations?

https://modedesigns.com/products/sonnet

[fading iris]

Looks nice and stylish what makes up the price tag is it the customisability and style I quite like it

[viscid tapir]

are there any brown tactile that feel more like blue based on feel not as loud

or blue that are maybe a little less high pitched

[unkempt dome]

Lavender purple

[viscid tapir]

i actually did hear people like them

which would you recommend gateron browns or lavender purples

[unkempt dome]

Lavender purple

[fresh bronze]

aiJiames les bones pte

[amber tartan]

yep

[dusk comet]

Hmm how often do people change their switches? Or would most just have a separate keyboard if they wanted to mix it up

[unkempt dome]

Once a month

Maybe every two months if I use one I really like

[dusk comet]

https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-keyboards/pro-x-keyboard-accessory-kit.html

There are a couple different options for my keyboard, I have the tactile cause that’s what I’m used to and it’s quieter

[fading iris]

Bruh

Can you not just put other switches in

You might even find cheaper ones with a similar sound

[open crow]

Ehm why could u only use those optoins? There thousands of other switches that are cheaper and maybe better…

[dusk comet]

Oh the internet says cherry switches should work

[unkempt dome]

Get something better than cherry tho ...

[glossy sandal]

what're you on

cherries are amazing when done up

unless you're talking about switches that don't require much work

in that case then buy something else yeaa

[boreal rivet]

But mx brown is so bad

They are like scratchy linears

[bleak anchor]

is it fine if i lube my akko lavender purples with krytox 205g0?

[boreal rivet]

Yes you should lube everything with 205g0

[unkempt dome]

Lot of switches will outclass cherry with no work to be done on them at all and most of the time for cheaper

[pulsar folio]

anyone have any experience with sound isolating or foaming Keychron Q-series keyboards? sometimes when I press larger keys, I get a metallic sounding sound

it's way more so now that I use Gatreon Panda (Lubed) switches, wasn't as much when I used Gatreon Lynx (Lubed)

I was also considering buying the brass plate for it, instead of the aluminum that comes with the barebones kit

[earnest orbit]

I got a same issue wit ducky one 2 mini, but actually i like it 😂

[pulsar folio]

wym? I have that very same keyboard, it's plastic chassi?

I got both One2 Mini and TKL 😛

[earnest orbit]

Oh Nice i got Ducky and Huntsman both 60%

[pulsar folio]

I'm retiring mine probably, got the One2 TKL at work as an "emergency" keyboard for now 😛

probably gonna sell the rest of my keyboards, because I have the Keychron Q3 now, which has an all aluminum chassi

[earnest orbit]

And i aint got that mettalic sound wit Huntsman

[earnest orbit]

😂 maybe its good decision

[pulsar folio]

yeah, I have a whole bunch

[earnest orbit]

LoL i got only 3 keyboards and the third is some micrpsoft shit😂

Actually i think it was made for TV´s but idc

I have a disassembled Corsair K70 RGB, the two Ducky keyboards, a CoolerMaster something something (TKL), a Wooting One (their first keyboard), a Keychron K6, the Discord branded Kono keyboard

not sure if I forgot any or not, maybe I did

Wow😅

Id Love to have much as that but a aint got money 😂

[pulsar folio]

nah, don't lol, it's a waste of money

if you ever find yourself buying multiple keyboards, just invest in a more expensive custom keyboard

such as the Keychron Q3 barebones kit (Q3 if you want TKL anyway, there are others too)

Tbf I’ve bought them over a few years

honestly if you find yourself in the hobby just back out, its a massive rabbit hole

Just don't fall for the fomo peer pressure 🤷‍♂️

[pulsar folio]

already too deep in that hole 😂

but fact of the matter is, you'll never find or build "the perfect" keyboard, you'll always want the thing one ups the current one, and will continue to look until you find it

market will come with new "THIS IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST!" all the time also, so only reason to do it, is to have fun

Greetings everyone

I have find myself at the same crosspoint in my keyboard life and want to invest in a more premium keyboard

The keychron lineup are interesting but can they both do gaming and typing?

Or is that a unicorn dream?

[boreal rivet]

You can game on literally any keyboard so long as the keys register lol

It's a non-factor

Buy what you think would be good for typing
