why do TKL 70% keyboards exist

prime mirage

TKL takes too much unnecessary space

I have a very unpopular opinion which is that 80% keyboards are the best

It’s literally just a 100% but with the usless num pad yeeted off

So I've had this keyboard idea in my head for a while and would like some recommendations I currently use the C9 Ergo TK https://youtu.be/F4-WXBu0R_A?si=Jk1WTHqts1JZHI8X and really like the split spacebar on it as I use it as a backspace key so I don't have to move from home if I make a mistake. I regret buying such a massive keyboard and am looking for a 10 keyless with a split spacebar preferably as a barebones kit any recommendations would be appreciated

Order your Hulkman Alpha 85S now at https://lmg.gg/hulkmansc

Cloudnine made a keyboard, but not that Cloud9... is it a weird coincidence? Ergo keyboards are getting more popular and splitting them in half is another step in making sure your arms don't hurt if you use them for long periods of time. James had to evaluate these.

@boreal rivet

bitter oar
#

tbh i prefer plastic keyboards over full cnc aluminium

#

they are generally more creamy

#

well, the whole hobby is about preference

wooden ember
#

Wait i'm confused

#

Did my $600 keeb just get a -10 out of 10?

LOL

bitter oar
#

too much thock, sounds boring

wooden ember
#

Uhhhh that's how the keeb was designed, for the thicc thock

#

Why would I take away from that design? Lol

#

And last I heard thock was the same as creamy so idk what you're on about with plastics but alright

bitter oar
# wooden ember Why would I take away from that design? Lol

At first glance, the INFI 75 seems like just another "budget" gamer centric keyboard, but when you take a deeper look, it's pretty clear that whoever designed this board knew what they were doing, and they weren't afraid to push the envelope, so to speak, of keyboard design.

this is $105 (w coupon) excluding tax and shipping

You shouldn't be talking down others keebs then

bitter oar
#

during mods

bitter oar
#

for some reason they had interferance issues with ws mondari and the kb plate made it worse

#

the spacebar literally was getting stuck

#

not coming up

#

also, tx stabs rev 3 are better tbh

wooden ember
#

Again, probably shouldn't be telling anyone their keeb is boring if you're messing yours up

bitter oar
#

and also damaged the ribbon cable making the screen ewaste

#

well, the screen costs just $1 on ali (exact model) but, i damaged the pcb ribbon cable socket so,

#

also, somehow lost some screws so, i just gave it away

#

gave up on it

#

the sound was great tho

#

for all stock, the switches were very poppy and creamy

#

i couldn’t choose between ws mondari and the stock switches

any pro micro footprint full size keyboards available?

for that price you can get something like Aula F75

I'm looking for full sized

bitter oar

look for 1800

#

full size but compact

obtuse swift
#

No thanks

#

Compact looks weord

bitter oar

it saves you ton of space

cunning anvil
#

i bet ortholinear looks weirder

bitter oar
#

to me full size looks weird

#

and takes up hella lot of mouse space

obtuse swift
bitter oar
#

then buy custom full size

#

pretty sure atleast akko/monsgeek have decent ones

obtuse swift

There's barebone monsgeek 160 out of budget

And the 5108s from Akko 120

#

But no akko with just full bladk

bitter oar

i mean search on youtube… there are tons i mean tons of keyboards on the market, aliexpress.

cunning anvil

got a good bluetooth full size to recc?

obtuse swift

$50 keyboards nowadays come with gasket mount

obtuse swift
#

New one

bitter oar
#

$50 keyboards come with gasket mount, hotswap sockets, actual dampening, a knob and some even with a screen on top

#

ajazz ak820 pro that is

#

and it even has decent switches and decently creamy sound

#

the g613 has none of it

obtuse swift

I don't like creamy sounds

bitter oar

and is more expensive

and also, the g613 doesn’t even have pbt keycaps

is mush kinda like a silent tactile?

obtuse swift

G512, fantech mk853,

it’s going to be more likely rattly because does logitech even lube the stabs

Thats pretty much all i can find

cunning anvil
obtuse swift
#

I can only find the 820 pro on sketchy mu and sketchyexpress

bitter oar

search for them on the site and then check on youtube if it’s any good

get ideally 5pin hotswap sockets

obtuse swift
#

I'm good I'm not going on that sketchy site

sketchy what?

obtuse swift

Aliexpress

bitter oar

why’s sketchy

they do have decent return policy

I’ve narrowed my two keyboard options to the Glorious - GMMK Custom 85% TKL Wired Mechanical Keyboard and RK87 Wireless TKL Mechanical Keyboard. Out of these two keyboards which one is better?

raw blaze

What yall think

cunning anvil

is omnipoint like HE?

raw blaze

#

They have rapid trigger and .1mm-4.0

cunning anvil

you can tell at .1mm increments?

how much faster does it seem

sounds below mediocre. especally for such pricey keyboard

tame ravine
#

With good switches

bitter oar

has a knob

#

sounds decent

tame ravine
#

I could also build one but

#

Not sure if that’s a better option

bitter oar
#

rn looking at the ajazz ak820 pro and aula f75

#

ak820 pro has a small tft screen + knob and aula f75 just a knob but sounds better

#

they’re $50 and $70

#

if you want something better then, prob wait for rainy 75

#

infi 75 is also decent but, at $105 it doesn’t feature aluminium case so,

tame ravine

Now im confused

Cus there’s so many options

Do they make 75% keyboards with a sort of numpad overlay on other keys, with a function lock for when a numpad is needed? Sort of like how some laptops used to do it (I don't know if they do anymore, but I've had a few where the right side of the qwerty keys were labeled with numbers and if you pressed the fn/toggled fn lock key you could use those keys like a numpad). I'd like to clear up some space with a smaller keyboard on my desk, but when I need a numpad, I really NEED it because I'm likely crunching dozens of numbers at once. Not looking to supplement with a dedicated numpad though, because then that would just wind up on my desk all the time anyway because I'd have no place to put it away within easy reach.

If not I'd probably have to go with an 1800 size, but those are seemingly few and far between as well and it doesn't save as much space as I'd like.

#

I don't even know what this feature would be called, so It's been kinda hard searching for options on google or online stores.

magic wolf
#

Separate numpad is totally viable

#

Won’t just serve that purpose, they make great hotkey / macro pads

In some cases. The rainy75 is a good mech board that is under $100USD right now I think, but I could be wrong. Hipyo did a review of it and gave it a great rating for the price https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSIKH4N5-FA

R75 quite a new release

#

not bad actually for 60 bucks

#

has a knob

#

doesn’t sound that cheap

#

i’d just get the ajazz ak820 pro tho, it’s cheaper and has similiar, maybe bit more creamy noise profile and has a screen on top

boreal rivet
#

yeah i don't care

carmine mesa
#

and those keycaps are pro

fossil rover
#

does anyone know of a good switch tester set that contains a nice range of different switches?

wooden ember
boreal rivet
#

The only switch tester you need is a topre keychain

bitter oar
#

anything similiar to this? with a plastic body or mix of plastic+metal (like infi75), with a knob and has to be white (does not have to be fully white tho), screen optionally, south facing leds and ideally pcb support for screw in stabs (not necessary), optionally with a decent heft of 1kg or above
has to be under $150

#

i’m looking for something like aula f75 just little pricier (with south facing leds, optionally support for screw in stabs and optionally a screen

#

i was looking at the ajazz ak820 pro but, that one sounds bit hollow

sonic estuary
bitter oar
#

epomaker x aula

#

the switches alone cost that

#

more*

#

and the keycaps also

#

$30 for a set of pbt gmk clone keycaps is very common

#

no, i hate the cherry profile layout

#

i prefer one of the more bri’ish options like xda or sa, asa, or such

#

so, ur telling me the rest of the keyboard is worth $2?

#

have you seen what kbdfans charge

#

nno-?

#

i did like once maybe not even that

#

yes, the keycaps are good quality but, i don’t like the profile itself so, i have no reason to pay $70 for a set of keycaps that i don’t like to type on

#

i can live with oem/cherry profile ofc but, not adequate

#

yes, and what makes the $105 ā€œmass producedā€ keyboard bad

#

apart from having mid stock stabs and uneven gasket performance (which both of these are pretty much issues on boards below $150)

#

sounds like plastic shit and not ideal layout, i prefer 75%

#

anything else

#

like aula f75

#

it lacks creaminess, marbly

#

for a plastic keyboard

#

yes, plastic keyboards can be marbly

#

especally if they have metal weight under the pcb

#

like the infi 75

#

why

Anyone here have the keychron q3? If so did the stabs need lubed when you got it

#

I just ordered my q3 and I remember when I got my v3 I needed to lube the stabs because they were very pingy I gotta know if I need to order lube

Question, does anyone know if the LevelOneTechs KVM works with USB hubs? So say a mouse and keyboard in the hub and hub connected to the KVM?

Anyone know how long wooting keyboard takes to arrive to the uk

tame ravine
#

what else is better

bitter oar
#

well, basicly anything that’s not from razer, logitech, corsair

#

only feature i’d only consider it for the the actuation setting magnet thing

tame ravine
#

and the trigger thing

#

where as u let go the key stops registering

bitter oar
#

yes

#

do, you even need it

#

because basicly, $50 keyboards sound better than that

tame ravine
#

not rlly lol

#

it sounds similar to the apex mini

#

not that bad

bitter oar
#

if you don’t care about those features

tame ravine
#

no i ment it doesnt sound that bad

#

my kinda bad 3d printed keyboard with 3d printed keycaps. It's handwired and uses a rp2040 (raspberry pi pico) microcontroller with kmk firmware (circuitpython based). Works well for gaming and typing (offbrand red switches)

tame ravine
#

why

#

$40

#

its not like every $40 keyboard sounds the same

bitter oar
#

doesn’t have knob (may not be a minus for some people*)

tame ravine
#

so what are some good keyboards then

#

that u think are worth

#

for that price

bitter oar
#

aula f75 $35 at taobao

#

you can buy it from ali too at $70

#

if you don’t want to go through the possible pain of taobao

bitter oar
tame ravine
#

wooting price

bitter oar
#

rainy 75 at $99, not yet in stock ships unfortunaly after february. (is a kickstarter)
infi 75 $105 after coupon (does not include tax and shipping)

tame ravine
#

i have a ducky one 2 mini rn so i would like it to be a decent upgrade from that

bitter oar
tame ravine
#

ive never done it

bitter oar
#

you just put switches on and keycaps

#

with most barebone kits

tame ravine
#

yeah but lubing it and all that

#

i would not be able to

#

without messing it up

bitter oar
#

unless you want to mod the thing inside

bitter oar
tame ravine
#

are they any good

bitter oar
#

or put a switch with bent pin and push it little harder than you should

#

it takes about 20~ minutes at most to put switches in

#

for me it’s like 3

bitter oar
tame ravine
#

how much better is it to build your own

bitter oar
#

not as good as hand lubed (when done correctly and not overlubed)

bitter oar
#

but, prebuild custom kbs are also good

#

something like leobog hi75 + some full pom housing lubed linear switches and 20-30 dollar keycap set is good

#

wuque mondaris at $0.45 per switch are great or ktt mint/cabbage/darling at $0.25-0.45 are also good

#

if you want 65% keyboard then sugar 65

#

if you want cheaper those barebones kits then go taobao

#

yes, i know it’s overwhelming

#

and, the latency is good on those kits too, it’s not some chinese crap

#

5ms~ wired

tame ravine
#

theres so many options

#

so idk

bitter oar
#

well, if you don’t care about those special features on the wooting then don’t get it

#

the issue with it is yes, it comes with decent dampening foam inside. but, no silicone pad

#

and it’s $150

#

even ajazz ak820 pro has silicone pad and that’s $50 keyboard and has a knob and even a screen on top

#

but, doesn’t have optical switches. which some people may or may not find as a plus

yeah, something i would pull from my keyboard dumpster

Its actually not bad

I added red switches

And its durable as hell

I have it for around 2 years now

bitter oar

they’re what i’d call bare minimum what’s considered even usable mechanical keyboard

wispy solstice

I saw much worse trust

bitter oar
#

okay so, do you only want tkl or is 75% also fine

wispy solstice
#

I dont have any issues w it but i want something better looking

wispy solstice

#

what’s your budget max, and optimal

wispy solstice

Around 120 euros

I dont want crazy performance

Just be decent enough

some manufactuners may not include frequency of the boards

sure it's been mentioned by NK is having another killer deal today

me and a friend went in on the star wars sets

boreal rivet
#

The only thing he uses to determine quality is ā€œsoundā€

#

I assume you want a ā€œgamingā€ keyboard

#

So just stick to the wooting

#

It’s fine

bitter oar
#

$50 keyboards sound as good as the wooting while having respecable response.

bitter oar
#

@boreal rivet also, i believe akko implemented that magnetic hall effect into thier keyboard. akko mod 007b he i think. so, the wooting’s feature isn’t even unique

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

because it's like one order from jlc to make 2 plates and a pcb ig

it’s all about preference

but, no one likes bad stabilizers

less than 200

The last time I designed something half decent I wanted to end it all the way through the process

bitter oar
#

or fine without one

carmine mesa
#

yes i love knobs

cunning anvil
#

rhetorical proposition, im just gonna go skeleton

carmine mesa
#

but im fine without it if too expesnive

bitter oar
#

@boreal rivet also that shite wooting doesn’t even have a knob

boreal rivet
bitter oar
#

at $150

boreal rivet
#

I’m one of them

bitter oar
bitter oar
#

rainy 75 doesn’t unfortunaly come with a knob tho

cunning anvil
bitter oar
#

but it sounds amazing

bitter oar
#

it thocks, clacks, is creamy (i doubt you understand these terms) but most people like these

carmine mesa
bitter oar
#

but, it sounds great

#

unbeatable value

#

full aluminium keyboard

carmine mesa
#

all of them say unavailable

bitter oar
boreal rivet
#

True unbeatable value is realforce

cunning anvil
#

besides, if i wanted why a closed case could i not get an alu middle cut

boreal rivet
#

Superior Japanese rubber cup folded over 1000 times to last 20 years

#

or acrylic if i wanted to be poor

bitter oar
#

lmao $35 for fully built keyboard with decent switches

boreal rivet
#

I suppose I care more about aesthetics than you do

bitter oar
#

so, i’m going to test it

#

it has decent latency too

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

lol

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

oh

#

lol

bitter oar
#

they’ll send it out at once

#

so, it’s a kickstarter essentialy

#

they even show’d a shot of 2000 of them done lmao

#

so, i guess less risky kickstarter?

#

it makes quite alot of controversy. because it sounds better than people’s way more expensive customs.

bitter oar
#

like kdb fans pcb /+ one artisan keycap costs more than the whole keyboard

cunning anvil
#

i bet it sounds better than any ergo board

bitter oar
#

or gmk keycap set costs as much as the keyboard

bitter oar
#

prelubed switches exist

#

not as good as hand lubed but, still much better than stock

carmine mesa
#

have i have time

bitter oar
carmine mesa
#

that's fine

#

i usually don't have anything to do on the weekends

#

besides soccer gaes

#

games

bitter oar
#

how precise are you

#

there is possibility you could overlube switches

carmine mesa
#

im pretty percise

#

is the epomaker aura 75 good?

bitter oar
#

well, considering it’s not that-that much better sound that just factory lube it’ll probably give it a pass, unless you really want that slighly better sound, more thock~

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

what's a good case style for a full size, if not skeleton? i don't think a printer would fit one that big, and cnc sounds... expensive

bitter oar
#

is 1800 fine

cunning anvil
#

usd?

#

yeah.

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

o

#

maybe?

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

i mean i consider 1800usd expensive

bitter oar
#

this is 1800

cunning anvil
#

yeah

bitter oar
#

do you like it

cunning anvil
#

it's fine

bitter oar
#

like, would you use it

cunning anvil
#

probably? idk im making something for my brother and trying to figure out the case situation

bitter oar
#

well, the pro of 1800 is that it’s smaller - shorter

#

takes up less deskspace

#

more space for mice

cunning anvil
#

is it easier to make a case for it?

bitter oar
#

well, because it’s smaller probably yes

bitter oar
#

or because of the what i’d call weird sound profile

cunning anvil
#

no, mostly because it's literally just punching a few holes in a sheet LMAO

#

I'm cheap and all i care for is silence really

bitter oar
#

oh, so some cnc aluminium hit is fine?

bitter oar
#

actually, no it just

#

well, it’ll annoying more people around you than you

#

you can also overlube switches and have silent keyboard

cunning anvil
#

that's why i was thinking about having a middle piece cut

#

to... keep the sounds in? idk

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

uh,

#

150? idk

#

usd

bitter oar
#

monsgeek m2 is fine
it has one of the most boring sounding foam under the pcb

#

making it kinda lacking in sound

#

which means quiet

#

in short term

#

basicly just thocky

cunning anvil
#

can i drop a PCB in there

bitter oar
#

it has one

cunning anvil
#

Bluetooth, qmk, zmk?

bitter oar
#

stab included also, but they’re pretty niche

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

via qmk or via proprietary

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

no Bluetooth šŸ˜”

bitter oar
#

sadly, there’s not m2w

#

there is m1w but no m2w

cunning anvil
#

what merits are there to soldering your own board anyways

#

the more i think about it the more pointless it seems to design

#

a full size that is

bitter oar
#

it just leaks sound everywhere

cunning anvil
#

what

#

it's just a pcb

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

ill make a closed case

bitter oar
#

isn’t buying one cheaper?

#

i don’t understand exactly what do you want

#

nice looking pcb?

cunning anvil
#

i wish to have a keyboard that's relatively simple to switch between zmk and qmk

#

and is full sized

#

though zmk is still kinda not end user friendly, so ig using a dev board would be neat

bitter oar
#

so, design your own pcb if i understand

#

sorry i’m kinda sleepy so

#

is it zmk/qmk switching necessary or na

cunning anvil
#

idk anymore, im gonna go sort out my priorities or something

#

i don't think my brother would actually care for Bluetooth

bitter oar
#

is wireless a need

#

i assume yes

cunning anvil
#

idk, it's just for him

bitter oar
#

what does he do with his keyboard

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

idk actually, good question

#

maybe i should just make another 40

bitter oar
#

lmao just buy him aula f75 from taobao and give him that

#

tell him it was $150 and that’s about it

cunning anvil
#

it just seems impersonal

#

idk, i don't think ill get him a keyboard at all

bitter oar
#

what’s his current kb

cunning anvil
#

i think i just wanted an excuse to design a full size

bitter oar
cunning anvil
bitter oar
#

make sure he actually has keychron v

#

not keychron k

#

or if he doesn’t use the ewaste membrane

bitter oar
cunning anvil
#

idk

if not i’d suggest buying him a headset if he doesn’t have decent one

#

anywone know any 60% rgb pcb's that will fit into a womier wk61?

#

the stock one that (specifically is in the blue version)
..is shit

#

I was extremally carefull with it and still broke one of the hot swap sockets just like hipiotech did
..except I soldered it back together and it at least works now :)

#

But its green and I hate the commands assigned to the macro keys

#

I'm used to an rk61.. topologically its a conformable transition but the arrow keys are unusable

#

You might be asking..
"Why did you go from an rk61 to a wk61?"
"Just save up for a better board"
..well its the only affordable keeb in a translucent blue case to be able to build a pseudo powermac g3 looking endgame board

#

also my spacebar is still rattly asf.. (even more than the rk61 was)
I swapped the stabs.. the switches, the keycap..
It still sounds the same and I don't know why
The only common demoninator(s) is the case, pcb and plate

bitter oar
#

@drifting mauve buy aula f75 from taobao for $35

pliant reef
#

What are the deepest thocciest switches a man can buy legally?

fine stabs, more than just a layer of foam under the pcb (not sure if the womier even has a foam under the pcb), has decent switches and pbt keycaps

#

and a knobbie

bitter oar
drifting mauve
#

2nd, even if it was its not the right size at all

#

I looked up the f60

bitter oar
drifting mauve
#

the usb c isnt connected to a doaughter board.. its the board itself

#

so even if I wanted to use the pcb out of it I couldn't

bitter oar
#

just a question why 60%?

#

portability i assume

drifting mauve
#

I like how it doesnt take up too much desk space

#

also there is nothing you can do on a full size keeb that you cant do on a 60%

bitter oar
drifting mauve
#

unlike a 40%
..you may think 60% is insane
.. trust me we have a common enemy

drifting mauve
bitter oar
#

the built one

#

it’s a fully built keyboard

drifting mauve
#

No.

bitter oar
#

actually, that 75% is as wide as 65%

I'm foing for a very specific aestetic and the case the wk61 is in is perfect for me

nvm

i just find no reason to go 60%/65% if you don’t own it just for the pure sake of portability

what about a volume knob

no intrest?

just asking

drifting mauve
#

this is my keeb rn

# bitter oar no

I'm a music producer and I have an audio interface
It would be compleatly redundent and I would never ever use it

bitter oar
#

it’s like uh $30

#

cnc aluminium case

#

taobao tho

#

worth it totally

drifting mauve
#

how many times do I have to explain that

bitter oar
bitter oar
drifting mauve
#

"What pcb's are compatible with the wk61?"

#

If you can't give me an answer than don't answer it

bitter oar
drifting mauve
#

I dont think the stabs are the issue tho

#

I swapped them out with ones that don't rattle in another keeb ones and it still rattled it the wk61

#

Its either the pcb, plate or case

#

I havent tried the tape mod
I havent filled it with any foam yet

#

its mostly stock except for new switches and caps

bitter oar
#

yes, but the pcb itself costs almost as much as the kit and again… you won’t experience rattle with the kit when you slighly lube them

drifting mauve
#

I want my keyboard to stay aestetically identical do how it is now

#

I want to fix IT
and I dont care if its cost effective

#

I'm using this keyboard till I die becoase its perfect for me.

#

After I've completed it I'm never buying another keyboard related item ever again.

#

It would be worth it imo to get a pcb thats double what ive already spent on the board

bitter oar
#

can’t really find cost effective pcb tbh maybe i just can’t search

#

sec

drifting mauve
#

this is my end game keyboard we are talking about

#

look if you dont know anything first hand thats fine
I know what type of pcb will work

#

I know the screw layout
I know the connecter it needs on the back to plug into a daughter board

#

ile eventually find somthing

bitter oar
#

and north facing

#

mm

#

@drifting mauve you’ll probably have to remove the plastic standoffs on the wk61

#

nah, it’s not necessary actually

#

ah nvm

drifting mauve
#

I prefer the rk61 layout

bitter oar
#

you push a switch with a bent pin on a hotswap socket little harder thanyou should and that’s a rip

#

@drifting mauve are those moneyz worth it for just arrow key placement tbh?

#

and black pcb

#

oh yeah… almost forgot software support is also
