Mechanical Keyboard Corner

Idk how I missed that they made that

Yeah pretty decent.

Just too plain for me. I got a mecha to be custom not blend in.

Yeah they are pretty plain. The timing is crazy though, I am in the market for black key caps to have contrast with the white QK65 I have coming in. Also tempted cause of all of the GMK hype- that they affect the sound in a very good way.

Since I want the ā€˜storm trooper’ contrast on the QK65 I have these on the way, but I’m thinking of these GMKs…

I am about to recieve my first GMK set too, literally leaveing to go pay the tax so it will be releassd to me… And… Ouch… But hey lets see what its all about, should have them in about a week.

I also have never had a set and wonder how it stacks up against my preferwnce for cherry porfile PBT.

Damn, its back to $110…

Finally pulled the trigger on making my own keeb.

Switches are like butter, pretty sure they are factory lubed and feel very consistent. Also has a great sound signature so this will probably be my daily for a while now.

Found this and itnlooks really nice as a board.

No VIA No QMK just a board.

I was unsure if I was going to order or not, but decided to pull the trigger today.

To start I’m just going to run the spare Silent Alpacas I have on hand, and order another set of cheap blank black PBT caps off Amazon.

I opted for black case and weight, hotswap board w/ bluetooth, and the FR4 plate. I may regret not getting the PC plate like I have in my Tofu, but wanted to try something different.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by not every boot?

With my shit Logitech kb I have to run openrgb every boot to set colors - they don’t save in hw :frowning:

I don’t need to be able to change colors in hw only, can use software for that but not having to to set them every time…

Oh that’s why I was confused - I think I just completely misread what you said in my quote - and hadn’t read the post in which that was a reply to. :slight_smile:

:smile:

I’m over here wondering if I should have gotten a second one haha. But might as well save the ā€˜spot’ for when another game changer comes along.

One of the keyboard Youtubers did mention a new board they can’t discuss coming out soon.

Brought it up while talking about the QK65 and another 65… so my money is on it being a 65 too.

Everybody and their mother: releasing another 65%
Me: where are the affordable 75% boards?!

Come to the 65% side. The perfect goldilocks zone between slim and huge. I like how 60s look but I want arrow keys.

F row, I’m fine with pressing ā€œfnā€ then the number.

60 and 65 look so clean.

I’m still at TKL level. I like the concept of a 75%, but I’m afraid of smaller boards than that.

Me and my basic das keyboard. Before that I had a Corsair k90

I would die if I needed an extra layer to hit function keys…

this is my current travel setup. I got a low profile K7 but while I love the form factor, I just cant live without all my keys. They all get used except maybe Num Lock.

Imma be in hell if I develop the use-case for function keys like you’all and I’m sitting on a pile of 65s. Maybe a programable numbpad that is just a bunch of remapped F keys?

Try using CAD software with no function row. That is PAIN.

Or Visio, or a whole bunch of other professional products.

Also games where F keys swap weapons…
