If you want to spend a little more money (~170) I can also highly recommend either of Iqunix's 80% keyboards.
Either the A80 (Green and Yellow color) or the L80 (Red and White color)
Hotswap, 80% layout, not too tall compared to a Keychron, and 3 connectivity modes (2.4Ghz dongle, Bluetooth, and Full Wired)
Apparently this company also makes a really cool mITX case.
It's a 9.2L case that can run a Dual Slot GPU
They have renders of it with an RTX Founders card, I think it's a 3070, but I could be wrong.

Another alternative option if you want a Keychron, but better is the Iqunix A80 or L80 depending on which colorway you want.

The A80 is a Green and Yellow colorway, and the L80 is White and Red.
I just recently got an L80 with Gateron Reds (The board is Hotswap) and it is fantastic.

Holy Pandas are a Cherry switch. Therefore yes. Maybe use a little bit of brain. Also 3ildcat just did a video literally using holy Pandas in an A80/L80
timber ridge
they lowkey not worth it
bleak ember
Lmfao why are you so rude
sly warren
It's versatile, doesn't feel hollow, and sounds fine.

first of all, i didnt know holy pandas are a cherry switch, i dont watch 3ildcat
sly warren
How did you NOT know they were a cherry switch? Literally 99.99% of Switches are Cherry.

Yes, another brand may make them, but at their core they are a Cherry switch.

They obviously were uneducated
sly warren
Also yeah, Holy Pandas are meh

your obviously 2

i like them
daring zenith
Just say any normal 3 pin or 5 pin switches
sly warren
Just get Boba U4s cheaper and better
green vessel
Honestly wireless keyboard isn't the top of my list because the keyboard shouldn't be moving during use
rigid valve
Honestly if you can afford a full set of holy panda you can probably buy switches and try them out yourself
wanton burrow
sounds like the noob got a wrong understanding of the info
holy pangda isn't cherry
queen sigil
Just get Boba U4s cheaper and better
i dont see similarities between Boba U4S' and Holy pandas
wanton burrow
it's using cherry style housing
queen sigil
it's a cherry style switch
rigid valve
boba u4t compare to holy panda is like comparing mx browns to zelios
wanton burrow
u4s lmao
queen sigil
not really
queen sigil
If someone is new to keyboards and wants holy pandas chances are it's because they want something that sounds like it
rigid valve
tru
wanton burrow
and there's lots of it

CAN I USE HOLY PANDAS SWITCHES WITH THE L80 JUST PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTiON
why do you want holy pandas
feel, sound?
rigid valve
my guy if ur getting holy pandas just build a board
like if you can afford holy pandas and not think twice
sly warren
sounds like the noob got a wrong understanding of the info
I call basically anything with the MX style stem a "Cherry"
queen sigil
i call everything with wheels and a motor a car
rigid valve
lmao
skiptrace
i appreciate your audio expertise and reasoning skills
but plz dont lead people down the wrong path on keebs
queen sigil
and also recommending them a keyboard that has costar stabs and what i'd assume is either a tray mount aluminum or steel plate when they are planning to get holy pandas is kinda eh
rigid valve
question
how does the pcb mount to the board
it screws in right
queen sigil
if they are considering holy pandas and they actually want to get into custom keyboards they should get a keyboard that doesn't feel terrible to type on
rigid valve
if you can afford holy pandas
queen sigil
question
how does the pcb mount to the board
it screws in right
depends the mounting style
tight pulsar
most either screw into the top case piece or bottom piece
rigid valve
ok thx
queen sigil
OH PCB mount to board
rigid valve
yes
queen sigil
i was thinking PCB to plate
rigid valve
no
rigid valve
ok
tight pulsar
for top mount its the top, bottom mount is bottom, and sandwich is just putting the plate in between the top/bottom and screwing it all together from the bottom
wanton burrow
i could fetch the mouting styles
wanton burrow
tight pulsar
okay leyo iām not pinning a 144p photo

did u guys see squashy boy glarses hamaji $200 build off
with the squashy boy wooden case
how feasible would that be
yes i have woodworking gear
but like
how would i make it
mount
tight pulsar
easiest way would just to oring
rigid valve
to what
queen sigil
big ring
rigid valve
oh like a gummy worm
tight pulsar
yeah
just cut out the majority of the case minus a few standoffs and get a pcb with some notches cut out on the edges so the oring can rest on them
rigid valve
ok
solar nebula
feel, sound?
both
rigid valve
you can def get similar feel and sound for cheaper

What is a good tkl mechanical keyboard (wired or wireless) I know that keychron exists but the keyboard looks really angled upwards but that might just be the pictures.

on kbd i saw a resin case
tht sounds so lit idk why
but they dont have one for a 70% so

scarlet gb is up rn
really good for the price
latent hull
looks a little expensive for me anything you would reccomend 125 and under?
rigid valve
uhh best choice is keychron c1 and you can mod it
rigid valve
sure
sly warren
dnot get a quinix thing then
The Iqunix sounds excellent and feels great. Don't trash on something until you've had it in your hands.
rigid valve
Hahahahaha
timber ridge
cant really justify spending over 150 on a prebuilt unless its a custom or topre

sly warren
Compared to anything else that I've used that isn't Custom.
My keyboard journey is so far: Corsair Strafe (MX Reds) > Magicforce 68 (Otemu Blues) > GMMK (Gat Blacks) > Aukey TKL Board (Otemu ICE Blues) > Yuunzi 84 key board (MX Blues) > Iqunix L80 (Gat Reds)
I need to lube these Gat Reds, but this is the best feeling board i've used so far.
rigid valve
Well uh to be fair
You donāt have a very high bar set
sly warren
I have a fairly average bar for people who don't want to spend a billion dollars and 300 hours meticulously building a keyboard just to realize "I don't like this"
Strafe: Felt mushy
MF68: Crisp, but clicky switches are too loud
GMMK: Mushy and a little un-stable, but felt "ok" 5 Pin Switch support would have helped
Aukey TKL: ICE Blues are nice quite stable, but... clickies are too loud
Yuunzi: This board was ruined for me because of USB Issues
L80: Crisp, feels great, and is equipped to be a versatile keyboard.
sly warren
I haven't had a chance to try a legitimately good Tactile board because Zealios are too expensive, Browns suck, and Matias Quiet Clicks are about as rare as unicorns.
daring zenith
browns are nice :(
rigid valve
Get some T1s
daring zenith
get t1s
rigid valve
browns are nice :(

sly warren
My endgame would be Matias Quiet Clicks if I could get a board with them in 80% form factor. I tried them on a friend's Planck, and it was like heaven.
rigid valve
T1s are kind of the quintessential midrange tactile
daring zenith
yeye
sly warren
Smokey housing or Clear housing? Or does it matter?
rigid valve
Can affect sound
But of little difference
Opaque housings can sometimes lend themselves to deeper sound
sly warren
Smokey is still kinda clear.
rigid valve
Yeah the difference will be minute
daring zenith
I was told they're literally the same, just appearance difference ..?
sly warren
I'd kill to find a source of T1's that I could buy exactly 83 switches from...
daring zenith
why exactly 83?
sly warren
Because my keyboard has 83 keys.
daring zenith
Could do divinikeys and buy 9x10
sly warren
Yeah, but then I have like 7 switches left over.
rigid valve
I would get 90
That way if you get some bad switches you got options
daring zenith
ya
sly warren
I guess that's fair.
sly warren
And Divinikey says they are pre-lubed?
rigid valve
factory lube on the t1s is decent
daring zenith
It's a light layer of oil, it's not really well lubed
sly warren
How loud are they overall?
rigid valve
uhh thats something you might wanna google
because sound is affected by a LOT of stuff
daring zenith
The switches themselves are not loud
rigid valve
the acoustics of your case
room
keycaps
thick tartan
not a linear fan but
daring zenith
most of the sound come from bottom out but yea
thick tartan
browns are lit
sly warren
Browns are just a scratchy linear, change my mind.
rigid valve

daring zenith
you talking gat browns or cherry browns
rigid valve
browns are lit
angry glarses noises
sly warren
Cherry
thick tartan
nope those are called novel creams
rigid valve
gat browns are decent
daring zenith
I'm referring to gat browns
thick tartan
yup
daring zenith
ya
sly warren
I may just lube up these Gat Reds and call it good enough until I get a full time job and can have a bit more disposable income
daring zenith
I'm still loving my keychron board with T1s
daring zenith
205g0 I assume
rigid valve
krytox205g0 is universal
daring zenith
put it on everything
thick tartan
my keyboard journey went from the standard razer keyboard to corsair mechanical something
rigid valve
(for linears)
thick tartan
to gmmk
daring zenith
e v e r y t h i n g
rigid valve
205g0 works with all linears and can be used on stabs if you have enough
daring zenith
yep
daring zenith
stem housing spring stab
rigid valve
right?
daring zenith
it goes on everything
rigid valve
ok
thick tartan
i wouldnt supposed to cause technically its what feel u like
sly warren
Huh, I found a kinda cool lube station kit.
daring zenith
3203 or 3204, don't remember, but 205g0 works
thick tartan
say&
sly warren
It holds 30 switches, and also has a place to hold the stems.
thick tartan
say*
rigid valve
hmmm in my opinion lube stations are stupid
thick tartan
i disagree
rigid valve
just get a clean desk and a bowl
sly warren
Why? It's a place to hold all of your things.
Obviously I'm gonna bag lube the springs.
rigid valve
because why spend money on lube station
when you could praise lord deskeys

It's a nice quality of life thing to have so you can keep track of everything.

mhm

how many switches do u have
not individual switches but

ya know

But anyways, nothing wrong with a lube station

hyperx reds are actually super cool switches

If I could find Matias Quiet Clicks on a board that was in stock, i'd have that board.

if youre gonna lube, buy a stem holder

This kit comes with a little 4 prong tool and a place to put the stems on the lube station
