I wonder if the dual actuation point setup that Steelseries has on their Apex Pro will be next? Or would that even be something they could see? Maybe due to the speed of the inputs being sent?

CS has changed quite a lot, it’s just that it’s a really dated format. 1.6 to Source, to GO are all pretty big revamps. The formula works, but the feel is different, even for me, someone who is legendarily bad at CS

Hello mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. A while back I got provided a mechanical keyboard at work (it's a Logitech MX Mechanical) and now at home my generic whatever keyboard feels sad and spongy and I miss the clacky keyboards of my youth. I would like a mechanical keyboard that has these features:
Any good suggestions? I live in Norway but with most niche tech stuff I have to order from abroad and eat the import duty, so I suppose any source with reasonable international shipping is OK. e: Oh also I don't play FPS games so I don't much care about all the fancy features I keep seeing for those, and I'm not really into RGB backl ights but it's fine if they're there as long as I can set them to something subdued. big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Aug 23, 2024 |

As far as I can tell with Keychron I can have either 100% and ISO or 100% and wireless but not all three.

That might be true. Most Keychron boards have non-ISO layouts. If so, you might be looking at paying a lot of money to get all three.

qwertykeys QK100 almost fits the bill, it's 96% (has a full numpad but the layout is slightly squished) and it has a hotswap wireless ISO PCB option unless you insist on the full traditional 100% layout

The Keychron K10 is 100%, available in ISO and wireless via Bluetooth but if you want 2.4ghz and a little dongle I guess you might be SOL. Also worth bearing in mind if something isn’t available in your country’s specific flavour of ISO you can always buy aftermarket keycaps.

I'm the resident keychron hater so have an epomaker recommendation instead. https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-rt100?variant=46963421380916 You can also purchase it on their Amazon store as well. There's probably a redragon brand full size iso keyboard somewhere too on Amazon or aliexpress, but this is as much as I can provide while waiting for the bus to arrive. Feel free to poke around some more on epomaker for their ISO and full size selection. Epomaker also sells a usb dongle that turns any keyboard plugged into it into a qmk/vial compatible keyboard.

Thanks everyone, some good recommendations there. I must have missed the K10 Pro somehow, that does indeed have all the features I was looking for. Or maybe I could get a 9X% and live without the home and end keys... I suppose another possibility is to get a TKL model and a separate numpad, that seems a bit silly but it would open up a lot more options.

I suppose another possibility is to get a TKL model and a separate numpad, that seems a bit silly but it would open up a lot more options. The benefits of a remappable keyboard is that you can shove poo poo in more convenient places that make sense to you. For example, remapping Caps Lock to Fn made a lot of stuff more convenient because I can use a layer with my left hand while keeping my right hand on my mouse; activating Fn is just reaching over with my pinkie one key to the left, and I have ESDF as arrow keys on that function layer (as well as on IJKL) so I don't have to even reposition off home row. I have Home and End on W and R, and PgUp and PgDn on T and G, as well as mapping Num Enter to the spacebar. I have a 65% keyboard only for aesthetics, because I almost never use the actual arrow keys or dedicated Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys because having it on the function layer is insanely more convenient to me. If it wasn't for that, I would just go back to using one of my 60s. I very rarely use the actual Caps Lock either, so I have it remapped to what would normally be Right Ctrl, and then put in a gently caress-off heavy switch in that spot so there's no way to activate it on accident. VIA is great since it makes it really easy to just move poo poo around.

Yeah I have a little 60% with no cursors (it has tap for them but that doesn’t work for me) so I remapped the right hand shift/ctrl/etc to them instead and put colored keycaps on them. The giant shift key as an Up arrow is kinda funny, it’s a shame the stabilizer kinda stops me from putting a normal size cap there without looking a bit stupid.

So I keep seeing to not buy direct from Keychron but I can’t seem to find any barebones q6 Max or even one with Non reds on Amazon. I’m in Canada though so my stock is likely the problem. No real issues buying a full prebuilt Q6 then swapping things around later I assume. EDIT: https://a.co/d/5MR72RZ I just bought this. It'll give me enough options moving forward that I can swap out keycaps and switches. m.hache fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 24, 2024 |

So the Q6 with Browns showed up today. Enjoying the feel overall but can't really get this via app to work. I can test the keys but aren't seeing anywhere to reprogram them. I have it wired in and am using Chrome. The key tester shows up no issue but under the configure tab is just a dude rocking back and forth. EDIT: Solved it. Just had to get the correct JSON file. m.hache fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Aug 26, 2024 |

Does anyone have any input on the Lofree Block? I like the retro styling and the multi-input/device options, as well as the windows/Mac switch in the back. I’ve honestly never heard of the brand before though and it doesn’t sound like they have the same amount of discussion/opinions as the likes of nuphy, keychron, etc.

So the Mode 65 is amazing as well. Otherwise, I need my function row, and I have two Mode Sonnet's, and they're both great. Though funny enough, I have a zoom 65 I'm using right now that I really like. I kinda want a loop because they're cool, but honestly a new Sonnet (I love the new mounting system) and another 65 are the only boards I will realistically get in the next year. Unless of course the reverie is as amazing as it looks on Cannon Keys, or the Event Horizon get's released again, or a space 65 version 4. I don't have a problem. I don't want to hear it.

whats up thread, appreciate all the information i've gleaned so far. i decided to purchase myself a new keyboard after the work-issued cheapo logitech board developed a sticky backspace key and i kept losing lines of work. my thinking was, i could have had them buy me another one of those, or i could make an investment in my work tools and get a solid deck i can take with me when i leave. maybe they'll even agree to pay for it. backstorywise, at home ive been using an old  k70 rgb for a long time now for gaming and browsing. i like the alumninum body, media keys/volume scroll, and attached wrist rest. i don't like that it's wired (via TWO USB ports, wtf), and the iCue software was absolute rear end and stopped working. it came with cherry mx red switches that are now stiff and loud af, so i am also looking to replace my home board.after much research i decided to first try the keychron V6 Max with jupiter reds. the knob is something i want to hold onto, but trying the full size on my work desk felt like too much so ive now got a V3 Max, also with jupiter reds. im sticking with those switches for now as a reference point even though they feel way too soft for me. i like the 80% form factor a lot more regardless, and may stick with this for now (the V3 shipped without its 2.4 ghz dongle so a replacement is on its way). i also have a monsgeek M1W v3 SP with akko piano v3 pros (only option) coming for home use, which should arrive later this week. i SHOULD have a 12x cherry switch tester by now but instead i received an empty bubble evelope, but im curious to see if i prefer linear switches like i think i do (albeit MUCH stiffer) or if the tactile is for me. i doubt i'll soon get into full-building from scratch, but god drat there are some beautiful options out there.

Does anyone know the spacebar and right shift sizes on the Epomaker x Leobog Hi75, or if there's a standard size for all 75% keyboards? I'm interested in getting a barebones kit for a relatively budget build. I believe those are the only non-standard keys that might not necessarily be covered by a typical 100+ key base set so it would be great to verify that a given set of keycaps is compatible before so I don't have to return anything.

Most keycap sets come with (at least) 6u, 6.25u and 7u space bars as well as multiple shift options 1.25u, 1.75u, 2.25u and 2.75u. I've got GMK, PBT Fans and Akko at home so a spread of prices and they all have enough options for pretty much any keyboard layout, even the weird ISO/ANSI mongrel hybrid I like At a glance that keyboard looks to have a 6.25u space bar and a 1.75u shift so pretty standard. You should be fine. What key cap sets are you looking at? Talking of keycaps, I almost bought these yesterday. Well, I did buy them but had to cancel once I noticed they were above the import limit and would cost an extra 20%+ on top of the already absurd cost. loving brexit, ugh I hate it so much. (and for more serious reasons that this I should add) GMKs new MTNU profile, which is Cherry profile with an SA twist, but not too tall.
