What's a good Hotswappable TKL Keyboard with individual RGB. Under $100, if possible wireless feature is a plus

you can either get the default, barebones or customize it

Does this include switches and everthing or is it just the keybaord

the 109$ includes gateron browns by default
but you can change it out when you click customize
you can change the keycaps to
theres also ansi and iso layout

The best you can do is an inexpensive Chinese hotswap board and some Cherry Silent Reds or Kailh Silent Box Pinks. Both lubed (if possible) and with o-rings installed.
Or you can go the chiclet membrane route.
Or if you somehow find a good hotswap board for really cheap, go with MX Zilents.
But I doubt it, since the MX Zilent is a frankenswitch between a Cherry Silent stem and a Tealios housing.

What’s the difference between the akko rose reds and the matcha greens and which one is better?
ionic briar
What’s the difference between the akko rose reds and the matcha greens and which...
rose red has lighter spring and shorter total travel distance, and higher actuation point
the better switch is up to your preference
foggy cliff
So prob the rose reds cuz they go faster
ionic briar
by like 0.4mm
which is not noticeable
and then other things up the chain will add up latency
like your keyboard's controller, the usb controller in your computer and your network
@foggy cliff

As u can tell I don’t know anything about keyboards
So the matcha greens will last longer
ionic briar
nope
both last the same according to the spec sheet
what i wanna said is that dont choose your switch based on which one is faster
foggy cliff
Ok

and yea
real life life span depends on your usage and care to it

Then you should consider buying them. Keycaps are mostly about preference, as with most keyboard-related stuff.

However there are still issues sometimes with keycaps and keyboards
hence why I'm asking

I have the atom stack myself, works great. The volume knob on the amp is quite cheap though, especially when compared to the knobs of their more expensive DACs.

It's not always smooth (probably needs some lube) but holy fuck the quality in this thing
i could probably shoot it with a gun and it would barely dent

Heyah, I'm kind of new to mech switches, as I have been using kailh blues for like 5 years. I got recommended BOX Thick Jade switches but I also found Box Thick Navy switches and I have no clue what the difference is. I have also only found 1 site where they sell a 100% keyboard with jade switches, any recommendations for NL or EU?
boreal rivet
one is lighter than the other respectively
green sonnet
Alright I'll look that up and stick to the one closest too the old blue switches
Shipping is just stupid expensive on mechanicalkeyboards.com to the netherlands
I'll go for jades than, they seem to be almost the same weight for pressing as the old blues I have
yes I noticed
And I can't solder
I think I'll like the bump being heavier, I can barely feel the bumps on my old blue switches no more and I miss it
I guess so
Why are these all so expensive
My old kailh blue 100% keyboard was 70 bucks
And the only box jades keyboard that I can find costs 200 bucks incl shipping
alright I'll look into that
why is it not the greatest?
lol that doesn't sound like a good idea at all?
So what would be optimal? What if I wait another month and have like 300 bucks to spend.
No can't do, I mainly use it for coding and I need my delete, home, end, pg up, pg down on the regular spots
I get that people like small keyboards, but thats not for me
I was looking at Ducky One 2 Double Shot Kailh Box Thick Jades
Its pre-build
Thats the 200 dollar one incl shipping
That is good to know
It also has the keyboard layout I'm used to

chrome raft
but why do you not like snowfox
tight moon
but why do you not like snowfox
its not that i dont, its just that ive used keychron for like 4 years now and its very reliable and works like a charm
ive never heard of snowfox b4 so i dont feel comfortable recommending it
tight moon
my friend uses snowfox and he loves

chrome raft

unkempt dome
my friend uses snowfox and he loves
I have it and it's a really nice board
chrome raft
how tall is it
unkempt dome
it's taller than my gmmk and taller than my durgod fusion ...
I would have to take picture of it
chrome raft
is it annoyingly all?
unkempt dome
Not at all
unkempt dome
The thing I don't like about it is that I need the stock keycaps to be able to use the function row
chrome raft
why
unkempt dome
Cause I have a terrible memory
tight moon
https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Wireless-Bluetooth-Mechanical-Tenkeyless/dp/B086...
if you buy it from the keychron website you can choose
unkempt dome
If you memorize where all the layered key steps you don't need the stock keycaps ...
tight moon
i might get snowfox now
ok ok if you do, tell me how it is maybe ill try it too
chrome raft
ok
unkempt dome
The rgb is let's say quite pastel ...
unkempt dome
And I haven't found out how to put a single color other than red in hardware mode
chrome raft
can you just make it have rainbow wave
unkempt dome
it's a matter of preference... I like solid single color more
I'll have to check about rainbow wave
chrome raft
does it just color shift
unkempt dome
I'm not really into rgb ... I can tell you that the snowfox rgb outclass the Anne pro 2 rgb and by far
pallid trout
I think Cherry makes some low-profile switches.
Not sure where to get slim keycaps though.
unkempt dome
You can get some dsa profile keycaps ... they are quite slim and non sculpted
Also for me gateron yellow > cherry red
tight moon
when you say gat you mean gateron rt?
unkempt dome
anne pro 2 now is best
Anne pro 2 is really subpar compared to the snowfox imo
Also I took some measurement
Front
Front keycaps height
Back feet down
Back feet up
@chrome raft

oh yeah, Prevail Key Company is east coast too, they are in Florida

Wondering if the G915 Logitech TKL is worth buying at 170? If not, what would yo...
have you tried choc low profile switches before?
torpid hare
Nope
main narwhal
the G915 uses them, and they feel pretty different from standard keyboard switches
low profile, low travel switches, feels kind of like a laptop keyboard
torpid hare
Oh! I’ m actually comfortable with laptop switches tho’
main narwhal
Might be best if you could find something like a best buy or a similar store where you can put your hands on some of those switches first
but yeah, if you like laptop switches you might like chocs
torpid hare
Is it really that different? Or would I get used to it in a couple of days?
main narwhal
pretty much just feels like a laptop keyboard to me 😛

You shouldn’t tell people their stuff is bad after they own it
Before they buy it, sure, after, don’t

chrome raft
Its way better than k552 with blues
potent void
Oh really?
chrome raft
Great compared to a reddragon
And better than anne pro 2
85
For the shadow
My friends anne pro 2 is 100
Thats for the yellow
im not gonna lube the switches
that will spoil me
this will spoil me
ill be on my keeb on my phone lmao
unkempt dome
Great compared to a reddragon
Yes totally
unkempt dome
And better than anne pro 2
Imo yes totally
My Anne pro 2 was 40 CAD used
The snowfox 80 cad used with some kailh box burnt orange in it
My k552 40 cad brand new with the outemu blue in it
Durgod fusion 90 cad with cherry brown in it ... I wish it was hot swappable so I could put some decent switches in there

I'm looking for a heavy and smooth tactile switch to pair with the YMDK 64, does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of the Durock T1 tactile switches with the smokey housing but I'm curious if anyone else has any thoughts
pallid trout
I'm looking for a heavy and smooth tactile switch to pair with the YMDK 64, does...
I have a T1 and even when lubed the tactile bump is massive.
Especially beside a Cherry Brown.
uncut oasis
ok so maybe not those 😅 I have cherry browns now and i'm looking for smth less scratchy
pallid trout
So you're looking for a linear?
uncut oasis
I'm considering going with linears, like a black switch but I really like the tactiles I have now
chrome raft
man im getting good at tpying
uncut oasis
So you're looking for a linear?
maybe, I don't like the feel of fully linear switches, I can't stand speeds or reds
pallid trout
I mean the T1 has a round tactile bump if that's what you're concerned about. It's just huge.
uncut oasis
fair
I am also prioritizing maybe a keyboard that's less loud then the one I have now
uncut oasis
so if such things exist as silent blacks I would consider those, my priorities are primarily that they're smooth and heavy
pallid trout
Cherry Blacks are also linear. Just heavier.
uncut oasis
I figured, I've never really tried them but I sort of assumed the weight would offset what I dislike about reds
the only switches I've had on keyboards I've owned are cherry browns and alps whites
pallid trout
There's also the Drop Halo Clear's. The bump is more gradual but you'll still feel it. Haven't tried it lubed though.
uncut oasis
interesting
I wish I could get topre switches those are exactly what I'm looking for, the purple ones
pallid trout
Understandable.
uncut oasis
I wish there was just a survery I could take where I'd be able to rank the qualities I want in a switch and then it would reccomend based on my priorities
chrome raft
i wish there was a switch all people love
uncut oasis
they're called mx browns ever heard of them /j
uncut oasis
well with patience and modification you can take any switch apart and give it the properties you want
chrome raft
yea
uncut oasis
I prefer the higher actuation but I'd prefer a less heavy bottom out
smth like my alps switches where there was hardly any space between actuation and bottom out
that did make the typing experience semi obnoxious though
pallid trout
Actuation and bottom out can be adjusted with spring swaps, at least.
But yeah.
I don't have any other recommendations.
uncut oasis
I'm a little bit of a, complete novice this is my first custom board so I'm not even planning on lubing switches
I'll keep looking but I'll keep in mind the Halo Clears and the blacks
ty for all of your help

Kailh silent box brown

It would be nice if Corsair did a K95 redux that comes with their new OPX switches and a standard-size bottom row. I don't much care for the K100
uncut oasis
Kailh silent box brown
I'll give those a quick google
I like the silent tactile approach but I wish they were
heavier
unkempt dome
They feel heavy enough for me ... more than the kailh box white but less that the kailh box navy
uncut oasis
I had alps whites which were 66g and I'm looking for smth around that weight

There is a large switch tester.
For like, I think $70 USD?
uncut oasis
although I have no clue how they feel vs cherry browns
unkempt dome
I will consider these but I am not entirely crazy about getting browns again
Which brown are you comparing to ?
uncut oasis
cherry
uncut oasis
For like, I think $70 USD?
a little bit more than I'd like to spend
uncut oasis
There's no tactility in there
so then are kalih silent browns smooth tactiles?
pallid trout
a little bit more than I'd like to spend
Fair enough. If you're really unsure of what switch you want to get though it's your best option.
unkempt dome
They are smoother than cherry brown
uncut oasis
ok
pallid trout
I mean you're considering Alps switches so that already makes you a little outside of that IMHO
There's smaller versions in that site as well.
unkempt dome
Well you know the kailh silent box brown exist ... they are the most tactile and sharpest I have so far ... as for smoothness they are better than the cherry I had and also the outemu I had ...
main narwhal
flashquark sells switch singles
so you can buy a sampler of switches they have in stock and jam them into a tester
ionic briar
tho a switch tester will not be a repensatitive of your typing experience
pallid trout
ye
Sound-wise, anyway.
And maybe in regards to feel because you won't feel the same kind or quantity of deck flex but that's less important.
pine musk
something I had bulit for my birthday back on April 3rd. Pcb is a DZ60.
kailh box pinks btw. I was recommended them in multiple keyboard discords after asking about a happy medium between box jades and box whites
also inb4 "what the hell is that layout" to which the answer is "dvorak"
pine musk
tbh colemak is actually better than dvorak but I got into dvorak first and I'm comfortable with it
pallid trout
I would love to get into alternate keyboard layouts but the prospect of retraining my fingers to get used to it only to end up having to use a QWERTY board in a pinch — since everyone uses it — kinda puts me off.

below 200$ and it better be a damn fine one to be anywhere NEAR that. my current one cost me 40$ with mouse XD

Could go for the GMMK or even a nice polycarbonate barebones from Novelkeys or KBDFans.
I think the NK65 Entry Edition fits.
Along with keycaps and switches.
