 that's why I went with the red one. Now the next one is the blue and green cherry Mx switches. These are clicky ones. See, you can hear the clicky sound

 Of course on the black one, I can press it and halfway it turns on and then it bottoms out. You can't see this on the video, but it does feel like I have to put a little bit more pressure on it, which is something I don't like because I don't want to fatigue my fingers too much when I'm typing. I want it as light as possible while still functioning. so that's why I like the red one more than the black

 Again, this is a little bit too heavy, but maybe for people with really fat fingers or a heavy hand they would want it to be heavier so that they don't accidentally activate a switch. Typists kind of like this clicky one, but if you're in an office environment, you really don't want this clicky one because every single key you press is going to go click click click. You might annoy some of your coworkers, so you might not want to get a clicky one for a office environment and go with something that doesn't click, just maybe a tactile or even the red. like me, I have a feeling this green one is probably malfunctioning a little bit because it's supposed to activate right after it clicks

 This one is 50 gram activation force. This one is 80 gram. Again, this is a little bit too heavy, but maybe for people with really fat fingers or a heavy hand they would want it to be heavier so that they don't accidentally activate a switch. Typists kind of like this clicky one, but if you're in an office environment, you really don't want this clicky one because every single key you press is going to go click click click

Which Cherry MX Key to use? | BeatTheBush

 Companies usually have to pour either on the left side or in the middle, sometimes on the right side, but not just 10 millimeters off. The center keycaps here are a nice lightly textured double shot Pbt set. This is great for avoiding any fingerprints and smudges and stuff like that. We still do have that regular Corsair font, which is still kind of a bummer, although they do include this cool looking radiant space bar with all these triangles and that too is textured to the touch like you can feel the actual design

 Having an extra 7 taxing rate on your Cpu really just is not worth it at all. And in their Iq software, it is set to 1000 hertz by default. So you do have to go in and change it to Ak and it will alert you like hey, Pc might take a hit because of this. But while we're here real quick, let's just talk Iq because it did seem to get a facelift

 And in reality that's not too much. but now that I see it, it bothers the hell out of me. Companies usually have to pour either on the left side or in the middle, sometimes on the right side, but not just 10 millimeters off. The center keycaps here are a nice lightly textured double shot Pbt set

 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. 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

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!

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.

Hi all,
I've been using Tecware Phantom RGB tkl for the past couples of years, there's nothing wrong with it just looking to upgrade. I'm not very familiar with mechanical keyboard but I've done some research but I have no clue what's good so I'm hoping to get some opinions here.

Requirements:
My budget is around MYR400 (USD100)
TKL
Hot swappable
Wired/wireless
Preferably a white/lighter color keyboard

If you're from Malaysia, please let me know where to get them cause I went through a lot of store and there's not a lot of variety to choose from.

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to the hobby (using a stock GMMK TKL) and was hoping to get some advice.

I have the option to buy a used GMMK Pro for $250 that includes: (1) Aqua Zilent Switches, (2) Durock stabs, (3) Coiled cable, (4) ABS DOUBLESHOT Keycaps, (5) Carrying case.

 Now with the reviews for the Keychron Q1 coming out, not sure if it would be better to go that route. I know most people here haven't been able to test it, but would you still hop on the GMMK for that price?

So I am modding a Keychron K2 non hot-swap and I realized that I might want to go hunt around and find the perfect switch or switch my switches out in the future. So I was wondering if I could put hot-swap sockets on the board instead of soldering the new switches in. Is that reasonable for someone who wants to try lots of switches without buying a desoldering gun? If so, how and what sockets can I use?

I bought a Ducky One 2 SF and noticed that some of the key caps had places where the backlight wouldn't show. For example the [%](https://i.imgur.com/Lnl8RUR.jpg).

Quick question on PE Foam mod: Traditionally the foam is put between the pcb and plate, but in Dave2D's most recent video about the Keychron Q1, he puts the foam underneath the PCB to a similar effect. Has anyone else tried this method of the PE foam mod? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts thank you. 

Also, if anyone has links to buy PE Foam online that would be appreciated as well.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (August 24, 2021)

I decided to go with the linear switches (Gateron Red) because I don't really have that accidentally-press problem, as I'm quite light-handed, and I don't really want to overcome that tactile feedback every time I press a key, especially given that I *do* game quite often. The quietest part also appeals to me. The good thing about mechanical keyboards is that if you get one with the hot-swap option, you can easily just replace switches if you don't like them.

I am not a keyboard enthusiast *per se*, I'm just after some advice about purchasing one please.

TL;DR: Need a keyboard which is good for efficient longform writing.

More detail: My wife and I both have jobs that consist of a lot of typing. Like, a *lot*. We used following keyboards because we had them lying around:

* Me: [https://www.aukey.life/products/km-g6-104-key-led-backlit-mechanical-keyboard](https://www.aukey.life/products/km-g6-104-key-led-backlit-mechanical-keyboard) (but the UK version)
* Wife: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D8X6CK8/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D8X6CK8/)

For us, these keyboards don’t lend themselves to longform writing. They are loud, which is distracting (not sure if this really needs to be mentioned, but we really need to think and concentrate whilst typing). They are tiring to our fingers, which is kind of a weird thing to say, but is a real thing.

I also had a one of these lying around: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Wired-Keyboard-600-Layout/dp/B001QSZ8IE. So I swapped my keyboard out. The difference is night and day. No noise, simple to type with.

But this just some cheap keyboard I’ve had lying around for ten years. I don’t imagine that this is the best keyboard for the job.

I want to replace our keyboards with the optimal keyboard for typing within my price range. Well, that said, I don’t really have a budget in mind, preferably under £50, but the cheaper the better. We are in the UK, so something that’s available here would be ideal.

I don’t really care whether it’s a mechanical/membrane/whatever type of keyboard. The point is not about any particular type of keyboard, it’s more about the typing efficiency. We need full-size keyboards with number pads, etc.

It will only be used for work. No gaming or any other use.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

<div class="md"><p>I am not a keyboard enthusiast <em>per se</em>, I&#39;m just after some advice about purchasing one please.</p>

<p>TL;DR: Need a keyboard which is good for efficient longform writing.</p>

<p>More detail: My wife and I both have jobs that consist of a lot of typing. Like, a <em>lot</em>. We used following keyboards because we had them lying around:</p>

<ul>
<li>Me: <a href="https://www.aukey.life/products/km-g6-104-key-led-backlit-mechanical-keyboard">https://www.aukey.life/products/km-g6-104-key-led-backlit-mechanical-keyboard</a> (but the UK version)</li>
<li>Wife: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D8X6CK8/">https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D8X6CK8/</a></li>
</ul>

<p>For us, these keyboards don’t lend themselves to longform writing. They are loud, which is distracting (not sure if this really needs to be mentioned, but we really need to think and concentrate whilst typing).

Good keyboard for typing?

Setup: Gateron Red Switches with YMDK Double Shot Pudding Keycaps, Matrix Rubberized Orange and Neon Green Keycaps, and custom Hunter X Hunter Keycaps. Had it band-aid clipped and lubed!
