 The keyboard chassis and keys, themselves, seem to contribute to the feel. Some things also seemingly don't make sense: the Gamma Zulu switches have shorter travel and require less actuation than Cherry MX Blue switches, yet I found the Blues to be less fatigue-inducing and the Gamma Zulus the most.

I've now gone through about five different mechanical keyboards with different switch types: Cherry MX Brown, Cherry MX Blue, Greetech Brown, "Gamma Zulu" (supposedly a variant of Logitech Romer G switch type, somewhat comparable with Cherry MX Red), and LK Optical Blue (which I'm using on my Keychron K4, my current keyboard).  I suppose a sixth type I've used were Cherry MX Blue with silencers installed (which I ended up removing after a few weeks, as I didn't like the way it changed the feel).  My conclusion is that the switch type has a lot to do with it, but there are other variables involved too.  The keyboard chassis and keys, themselves, seem to contribute to the feel.  Some things also seemingly don't make sense: the Gamma Zulu switches have shorter travel and require less actuation than Cherry MX Blue switches, yet I found the Blues to be less fatigue-inducing and the Gamma Zulus the most.  The other issue is that it's often not obvious from just randomly mashing a few keys or typing a few sentences which switch type you'll like the best.  Often I'd need to use a keyboard for a few hours before going to a different keyboard, and only then would I really feel the difference.

Rambling aside, the answer to your question is: go with the Browns.  Brown is a good all-rounder switch type for gaming and typing.  It also gives you the audio effect without being super noisy.

Even though I ended up going for Blue-style keys over the past year, I sometimes go back to my very first mechanical keyboard - a G.Skill KM780 with Cherry MX Brown switches - and it really feels the absolute best to type on.  If they offered it in a Mac layout I'd probably just buy a Mac version and be done with it.  Either way, it has me thinking that Browns might really be the best overall, again...

... just get brown and don't look back.

I’ve never used a mechanical keyboard before. Most of the keyboards I’ve used are either membrane or laptop.

Currently have a 2018 MacBook Air and the butterfly keyboard is awful for typing, so that’s why I’m looking for a mechanical keyboard and Keychron K1 seems like a good option.

However, I can’t decide if I should get the Red switch or the Brown. I do a lot of typing for programming and writing but I also do light gaming. Sounds like Red would be good choice for me, but seems like the general consensus is that Brown is better.

So what’s better: Red or Brown?

About a year ago I bought a Hyperx Alloy Elite RGB and to say it served me well would be an understatement. Being my first real Cherry MX Blue keyboard (not some weird knockoff) it has been an absolute blast to use and I would love to continue using it.

* have RGB backlight (I’m going for that really tacky aesthetic). * offer Cherry MX-Blue switches (I considered feel/sound-alikes like the razer green but I would rather stick with the real thing b/c I can’t test alternatives out in person due to Covid). * Full-sized or TKL, but no smaller. * Come from brands that are well-respected on the wiki

I recently bought a YMDK YMD 75 PCB and I want to remap a couple of keys. On their website, they say they have a bootmapper and provide a manual on how to use it, but I cannot find the program anywhere. Does anyone by chance have a link to the download?

i’ve had my heart set on getting a blackwidow v2 TE because i love the clicky switches and have enjoyed using similar razer keyboards in the past. my question is, are the switches loud enough to be heard through a closed door? if so, does this travel very far away from the room? i don’t want to bother my sister across the hall or my mom in the room above mine. any and all answers are appreciated, thanks a ton.

I was wondering if I could just get some advice. Is it cheaper to buy a prebuilt keyboard or cheaper to buy all the parts and assemble myself? I’m already building my own PC for the first time so I don’t necessarily want to spend too much more money but I do want a nice keyboard. Will be using my pc to game and stream. I was looking at 65% keyboards. Prebuilt ones i was looking at ducky one 2 sf and drop alt ones. I know that only the drop alt is hot swappable if i wanted to customize the keyboard more later on (which i would like to replace key caps later if i get a prebuilt one). Would love and appreciate any and all advice. Thank you!

I’m buying my first mechanical keyboard. I’ve narrowed it down to Ducky One 2 and iKBC f108 because they 

* have all white keys and base 

* have RGB backlight (I’m going for that really tacky aesthetic) 

* offer Cherry MX-Blue switches (I considered feel/sound-alikes like the razer green but I would rather stick with the real thing b/c I can’t test alternatives out in person due to Covid) 

* Full-sized or TKL, but no smaller.

* Come from brands that are well-respected on the wiki.

I’m wondering if anyone knowledgeable about mechanical keyboards has an opinion on which of these is better. I’m also open to other keyboard recommendations – I would really love a matching mouse, but neither of these brands has one (ducky makes a mouse and I like it, but it only comes in black). I’m trying to stay under $200 and avoid full-on custom keyboards until I have more idea what I like. I would prefer the Ducky Shine 7 to the One 2, but it does not come in white.

Hello guys im new to this reddit and im here for one thing, and thats the mechanical keyboard cougar vantar mx. I thought about buying it to replace my redragon kala keyboard which served me about 3 years. I am going to buy this keyboard for one thing, the rgb and its price. The rgb looks really good on the warmer colors and would look great with the pudding keycaps. The one thing that is delaying my buy is the swtiches. I dont know what sound the switch produces and they dont have any test switch kits. Im not sure which switch i should buy, the red one or the brown one. On paper they seem the same with the same actuation force but the red one is linear the the brown one is tactile. I cant find any videos of all the switch variants and dont know which switch to buy. If anyone here could guide me to a video or could tell me what is the difference between those two switches i would be very happy. Thanks in advance :).

Trying to decided between a full assembled tofu 60% acrylic keyboard (zealios v2 switches) with YMDK 9009 key caps from amazon for a total of $300USD or a custom Varmilo keyboard (zealios v2 switches) which includes key caps for a total of $255. I like the aesthetic of the first one a lot more(case options and key cap options are my ideal look while with the Varmilo I just settled for a look I don’t 100% like but I know that they don’t lube the switches for the tofu and for the Varmilo they do and the total for this one is $255USD. I’m just wondering quality and build wise which one you guys recommend more. Aesthetically I like the tofu 60 more but it is a little over my price budget of $260. Any and all advice is really appreciated.

Pins on the bottom are flimsier than others I've purchased before, you can hear the sound of the spring depress, and it just feels "crunchy" as at the bottom of it's translation (not the tactile bump, something about the low quality of the spring). Doesn't seem like the stems are particularly well made, a good number of them got stuck if they weren't pressed perfectly straight down.  Ended up tossing them in the garbage.

 My budget would probably be around 150 € for the complete keyboard. I tried to list everything that came to my mind to narrow the options so I hope I did that.

In regards to switches, I don't want any clicky switches so probably just something like gateron red or their equivalents. Software for the keyboard would be great as well.

Hi, I've been recently planning and researching to build my first custom keyboard.

I've decided on getting the GMMK Pro as case, and I've learned that the stock stabs aren't really that good. After reading/watching numerous videos and posts on reddit, I've come to a conclusion that the C3 Equalz stabs will be the right choice for me... (runner-up was Durock V2) but I have a few questions:

* Is "Equalz" the brand/company name? Do they have an official website of sorts where they have listings of latest iterations? All I can find online are seemingly individual sellers.
* Is the "C3 Equalz X TKC" stabs supposed to be the same thing? Or is it a one-time collab between two companies thus products are limited in quantity?
* Are the 'normal' Equalz stabs being made as of now? If so, what's the latest revision? V2? V3?
* If so, are there any places I could possibly get one in 'plain' colors (white/black)? All I see in stock seem to be in... vibrant colors. I'd personally prefer if they didn't stand out too much when placed alongside the switches.

Thanks!

<li>If so, are there any places I could possibly get one in &#39;plain&#39; colors (white/black)? All I see in stock seem to be in... vibrant colors. I&#39;d personally prefer if they didn&#39;t stand out too much when placed alongside the switches.</li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks!</p>

Anyone buying the Keychron Q1 QMK today? Preorder is less than 4 hours. A bit worried about the hollow sound though (but feel like its good value over GMMK Pro)

Hey (fellow) nerds..   


Quick question for folks more in touch with what's current.. I'm looking to put together (or buy) a 75% bluetooth layout keyboard - I am VERY close to pulling the trigger on a Keychron K2 since it ticks almost every box, however before I do it - I wanted to reach out and see if there's anything else out there I might be able to put together (I've been soldering for years, so that doesn't scare me, and I've built 3 boards from PCB up now).. Also, I've got an embarrassing amount of keycaps already, so I don't need those lol.

wants:

\-  75% US ISO layout 

\- Bluetooth (4+)

\- Programmable firmware (QMK compatible would be a+), or programmable enough that I can move the super, function, alt/meta and page up/down keys around.  Oh, and if I can put control where the universe intended it to be, that'd be a plus too (if you haven't been converted yet, imagine that disgusting, unused caps-lock key on your keyboard as your left-control, and welcome to the club.)

\- either a great switch selection, hot swap, or bring my own switches  (I've been using zilent 62's - and while I tend to bottom out with them, it's just the way my fingers learned to type, so I'm comfy with it -  if anyone knows anything better I should check out, lmk!)

\- Aluminum / heavy case + plate (foam preferred, but I can add this myself later)

\- decent stabs if it's a prebuilt (and I'm on the hunt for better ones in my other boards as well, so thoughts here are also appreciated)

\- I'd like to keep it total under 250 bucks if I can (without caps) - obviously the cheaper the better.

Thanks for any thoughts!

I'm planning on buying the Ducky One 2 SF but I'm not a fan of the decal on the spacebar or the red enter so I'm wondering where I can find white, backlit keycaps to replace the 2. They're 6.25u and 2u respectively. Alternatively, if it's too hard to find keycaps that fit I was considering buying a full set of pudding keycaps but my concern is the non-standard modifier keys in the bottom right. The RALT and Fn keys are 1u and the RSHIFT is 2u.
