I work a lot of hours on my keyboard - working in CAD software. Looking for suggestions for a full size, ISO layout keyboard. Hefty. Chunky. Girthy. Like a Model M. Prefer if it is aggressively beige. Hate RGB. Any suggestions? Not too bothered about price, longevity preferred. Not keen on change.
Hi all,
Was browsing keyboards and fell in love with the colour scheme of this one, I think it would suit my office aesthetics perfectly. It is a FREEWOLF x Attack Shark M75
I like the screen and the ability to quickly as easily switch from 2.4ghz to BT to cable as it will allow me to switch between work and gaming systems. And the volume knob is a must
The only problem I can see with this is that it is a membrane keyboard, and I would prefer a mechanical.
Are there any budget mechanical keyboards with the same colour scheme?
Hello everyone, as the title says, i need help. I've been looking over youtube (Hipyo Tech & others) as well as some posts for a good 75%/80% aluminum keyboard mainly for coding (and very rarely gaming) but i need ur experiences and knowledge please. I can't do this on my own, i tried...
(I will add all the given keyboards in the comments to my post as u guys help me)
I'm looking for a keyboard on my desk at home who wont be moving anywhere:
I found nothing that fit all my criteria, please Help !! 😭
I already looked at some option but they were vetoed out because of some issues:
Before anything else: this is about pure gaming performance and nothing else.
I do not care about sound, "thock", RGB, looks, build quality, typing feel, premium materials or how nice it is to type on. Not a little — not at all. If a component makes the board sound worse, feel worse and look worse but registers my inputs faster or more consistently, that is the component I want.
The only things that count for me:
Everything else is noise. Please judge these builds on that basis only.
I've narrowed it down to three builds, each with a different PCB. Same philosophy across all three: thin blank ABS caps instead of thick PBT, no foams or switch pads, RGB off, low actuation point, rapid trigger as low as the board and plate allow.
Build 1 — ~€136
PCB: Luminkey Magger60 HE (PCB only) · Plate: FR4 2.0 mm · Stabs: screw-in PCB-mounted · Switches: Gateron KS-20 White · Case: plastic GH60 tray mount · Caps: XDA/DSA blank thin ABS · HS-certified cable
Build 2 — ~€152
PCB: Everglide SU66 Max "NO SWITCH" (comes with aluminium plate + hand-lubed stabs) · Switches: Gateron KS-20 White · Case: plastic GH60 tray mount · Caps: XDA/DSA blank thin ABS · HS-certified cable
Build 3 — ~€207
PCB: Gateron GT60 Pro+ (comes with FR4 ENIG plate + plate-mount stabs) · Switches: Gateron Magnetic Jade KS-20T (required, the PCB is tuned for the Jade series) · Case: plastic GH60 tray mount · Caps: XDA/DSA blank thin ABS · HS-certified cable
My questions — all of them purely about gaming performance:
I'd genuinely rather be told I'm wrong now than after spending €200. If the honest answer is "just buy the Wooting, it performs better and it's less hassle", I'll take that.
See title, mostly looking for any advice/info on other peoples dealings.
Ordered a keyboard a little over a week ago, (4th) shop app just shows tracking as Label created (but not shipped) on the 6th, Royal Mail tracking just states sender has advised sent and they're awaiting item, OZO's says dispatched. I contacted their support 2-3 days ago and have still yet to hear back, are they typically this slow? (I understand they're a small business of 1-3 people from searching the subreddit/their own info)
TLDR Should I be following this up with OZO more or go through RM as the 3 different tracking options I have are all saying different things?
EDIT: Basically resolved, looks like despite listing a short delivery time on initial estimate/item in stock item is coming from China leading to the weird tracking issues/7+ day delivery vs the initial estimated 2-4.
Have still yet to hear from their support though.
EDIT2: Issue resolved with Jake himself, their current tracker is in early stages so can lead to a little confusion but we got there in the end all sorted, will reedit when parcel has arrived but so far so good.
Hello, I hope you can help me as I have no idea what I am doing!
My daughter wants to purchase some key caps to customise her keyboard into a Chikawa style keyboard.
I have found some key caps on etsy, but I cant find a full size white or pink UK layout mechanical keyboard for a somewhat reasonable price.
Would anyone here have recommendations?
Thank you!
Hello everybody,
I currently have a Royal Kludge RK L75 keyboard with some custom switches and keycaps on it. I'm looking for a replacement because the keyboard is out of warranty and the volume knob broke. Customer support couldn't do anything for me.
Honestly I'm just looking for a barebone / cheap keyboard that I can swap my switches in. Below are some requirements that I want. My absolute maximum is \~€75
* Has a 75% layout * Is hot-swappable (obviously) * Has tri-mode connection (2.4Ghz/BT/USB-C) * Has a volume knob * Supports QMK/VIA * Is gasket-mounted
Does anybody have an idea what kind of boards are good at the moment?
Thank you in advance!
Хочу взять новую клавиатуру взамен своего старого ардорчега бюджет пять к вот думаю насчет атк а 87 но может быть посоветуете что то иное?
With Vietnam’s National Day coming up, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on.
This is “Hào Khí Thăng Long”, a handmade resin artisan keycap inspired by two important Vietnamese cultural symbols:
🐉 The Vietnamese Dragon — a symbol of strength, heritage, and the Vietnamese spirit.
🥁 The Đông Sơn Bronze Drum — an iconic symbol of ancient Vietnamese culture.
I wanted to bring these traditional elements into something modern and familiar to the keyboard community.
The goal was to create more than just a Vietnam-themed keycap, but a small piece that could tell a story about where I come from.

📏 1U / 2U / 2.25u
For those who aren't familiar with Vietnamese culture, what do you notice first? And do you feel the design communicates the story clearly?
🇻🇳 A little piece of Vietnamese heritage, one keystroke at a time.
Hey everyone,
Before I fully commit to prototyping this in Ergogen and routing the PCB, I want to do a reality check with the community. I’m sketching out a concept for a travel-focused split, but I want to know: is this something you would actually use, or am I trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist?
My goal is to design the ultimate "throw it in a backpack and go" split keyboard. Something that keeps the desk footprint minimal while traveling, without needing to pack a separate mouse.
Here is the concept I'm pitching:
Size: 40 to 50 keys. (Enough to be highly functional, small enough to pack flat).
Connectivity: Fully wireless via ZMK.
Build: Ultra-minimalist and lightweight.
The Catch: It must have an integrated pointing device for true portability.
Where I need your honest validation:
If you were going to build or buy a board specifically for travel, which pointing mechanism actually makes the most sense to you? I’m stuck between three, and they all have travel-related trade-offs:

Hello I am newe to mechanical key boards before I buy newer switches for my keyboard I would like to get recommendations from more experienced people. For information I have the lily 58.
What I want from my keyboard
I want to take it with me on every day computers (Usually 2 h driving with car)
i need it to be as quiet as possible so I can use it while in silent areas like library's ore the uni.
A low profile would be nice
It also would be nice when they are made in Germany ore other EU countries (course of zoll and taxes )
Hey what do you think about Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 ? Should I buy it?
