Personal/gaming/work setup at home for a bit now, originally with KC Super Brown and decided to switch over to the Gateron's. Also my first TKL, for my use very enjoyable.

The only place I can find HMX Mango Pudding switches is on LumeKeebs' website. Im aware they're sold out but if i calculate shipping costs for other available switches, it comes to about £20-25, which is a bit too much for me. I'm just wondering if there's any EU/UK suppliers of these switches anywhere. It's fine if not, I understand that these switches are unique and popular and rarely available. Thank you

Suggest me a good Mechanical Keyboard for Macbook which should last minimum 2 - 3 years

Preferably 75% or TKL (Can consider FullSize)

Purpose -Video Editing (Davinci Resolve and FCP) and Coding

Budget - 10K.

Should Have - Not Too Loud, Sturdy Build and Good Customer Support

Must Haves - QMK/VIA, Long Battery Life

Currently Considering -

URX Core75 (Don't like the small 4000 mAh battery and translucent design)

NUT65 (Too small and Seeing lots of battery issues)

OPEN TO OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS !!

Hello guys, I have a good deal for these two keyboards, in your personal opinion which one would be a better choice?

Hello, i want a new keyboard and I've got a bunch of options, my most important trait that i want is longevity.

The keyboards are:

1- keychron k10 he standard used for 65$

2- ajazz ak820 v2 he for 55$ - 60$

3- VGN a75 he for 65$

4- attack shark r85 he for 62$

5- Irok mars75 pro for 65$ (but its from shein and it might take a while to be delivered or even sometimes rejected but it can be delivered)

6- madlions mad 68 R for 54$

There is also a mchose mix 87 for 70$ but it has an rgb issue where the rgb flickers randomly

Anyone know if any other low profile keycaps would fit it as a replacement? I don't know how to check.

Here's a photo of it, I don't think they sell it anymore lol.

I have a Lucky65 v2 keyboard, but I am having an issue with its RGB lighting.

Only the RGB on the spacebar lights up, while the other keys do not light up at all. I have never disassembled this keyboard; it is completely stock, just like when I first bought it.

I have tried changing it using shortcut keys, the VIA app, and even resetting the keyboard, but none of it works.

Is there any other solution? Or has anyone else experienced this before?

Thank you!

so on my old keyboard my usbc plug in spot got loose and it would constantly disconnect. i just got the aula f75 and was wondering if that was common and how i should avoid letting this happen again. i just want to keep it in good condition so any help would be great. thank you

Hello!
I'm an accountant but when I take off the Work and got to my home and enjoy a sweet time on my Main PC (No the laptop keyboard haha); The one thing I most use is my keyboard

Right now I have a VSG Quasar it had Outemu Blue Switches but I hated at the end of my day the action force for those switches and the sound, then I bought on Aliexpress a bunch of Outemu Silvers and are my Switches until this day

My keyboard has ABS Keycaps that honestly, looks and feels BAD, the paint is washed off, the light greasy sensation even if you clean it, and I'm not a fan of the layout is a TKL lik the ones that have the Arrow Keys on another place, I'm not a fan of it haha I kinda want my arrow key more closer (I'm used to the layout of my Older Laptop on that case)

Now I'm working so a little self gift is okay but I think my worries are a 140$+ Keyboard and the shipment lost it haha so I think if is below 140$ I'm okay with it

Aesthethics are a bit tricky haha I think I want to go for a darker keyboard, my brother had a Razer Keyboard before and it was HUGE but the feeling was so nice but he keep it dirty haha later he bought a Redragon one I think it was the Draconic or something like that I was more a fan of the razer he had before

Think I want:
Thocky I think? I like more this type of sound more not too much but like on that place like more thock but a bit creamy I don't know how to say this like something that sound well but

my most important thing is the feeling on my fingers haha like a good spacebar, a good alt and tab, a good arrows

Layout something like this?
I think is 70% or 75% I don't have a problem with smaller sizes only is the FN Shortcuts are there, but as I work as an accountat I like my F row

And thank you so much for taking time of your day to give a recommendation, i hope you are having a nice day

I am looking to buy a thocky/creamy 60% prebuilt. My budget is around $150 preferably on the lower side of that. Maybe an aluminum case. Anyone have any suggestions?

Looking for a reliable keyboard that is in the $100-$150 range, is cute/aesthetically pleasing, bluetooth, and will last more than 2 years minimum.

I had the epomaker TH80X wired/wireless and it was horrible, would disconnect all the time, couldn’t get bluetooth working after and wouldn’t get recognized on my laptop.

so, I’ve had an Epomaker EP-84 for as long as I can remember, and I haven’t had any problems with it, however, recently I’ve grown annoyed with the loud, clicky sound of blue switches.
Can I swap them for something else?
Is it a difficult process?
What utensils do I need?
Also, do you recommend any (affordable) mechanical switches?
I’d like to switch to something creamier.

Hey everyone! Pretty new to the sub and looking to buy my very first mechanical keyboard.

I wfh 5 days a week and do some light gaming on the side. I’ve personally tested the NuPhy Halo75 and absolutely loved the premium, heavy build quality and how it sounded and felt (raspberry switches).

However, on this sub, I've noticed NuPhy and Keychron get a fair bit of criticism, which has me second-guessing myself.

I’m looking for alternative recommendations that fit this criteria:

Layout: 75% normal profile, prebuilt. Gasket mounted.

Sound/Feel: Thocky or deeper sound profile with smooth, pre-lubed switches (definitely want to avoid anything overly loud, harsh or clacky).

Build Quality: Premium, hefty, and solid feel (similar to or better than the Halo75).

Quality of life and common sense features are a must. For example, I want to avoid quirks like the Rainy75's power switch hidden underneath the keycaps. I also don't care whether it has a knob or not.

Would love to hear your suggestions! Thanks in advance!!

Edit: forgot to mention preferably linear switches.

Why there is not keyboard with the stream controller on the left side? am i the only one will prefer it like that? its always placed on the right side in all the models i find.

Been in the custom mechanical scene for a while but never really sought out a HE keyboard. However, I'm back into competitive FPS games so I thought why not?

The things I care about most are aesthetics and acoustics, I know it's hard to make a magnetic keyboard sound great but I've heard a few that actually sound decent.

So far I have my eyes on the Lofree Hyzen and the Wallhack k001 but I prefer having an F key row.

Any suggestions for premium HE or TMR keyboards would be helpful.

- Full Aluminum

- Knob preferably

- 75% or TKL (will consider a 65% if the board really wows me)

- Obtainable in the US

- Barebones kits are okay as well.

Budget: $400

This keyboard is for gaming “cs2, valorant, fps games”

Heard some people talking about everglide having issues with the usb c port.

Which one would be best regarding software, performance, build quality, reliability?

Would get yaoguang for the ever glide and for the ev63 id get x ultra switches I assume

I didn’t know anything about keyboard 3 months ago but kept trying new boards until I landed with this one. Kudos to the forum for all the great advice.

Emmm I know this might sound like a rant, but I genuinely wanan know why the industry is like this. Also, I need a new numpad 98% keyboard, so I'm stuck in a dilemma.

Newbie here, so please bear with me. Idk much about specs or drivers or tuning stuff like that, but I’ve been seeing some crazy desk setups lately and really wanna upgrade my keebs.

I found Gravastar online. Since I needa numpad for work and I mostly play OW and Marvel Rivals, the K98 Pro caught my eye. Yeah, the design is insane.

I was about to pull the trigger, but I found so much hate on it online. A lot of negative stuff including QC, customer service, and shipping issues.

Hmmm... this is making me hesitate. Nobody wants a beautifully bricked keyboard lol. And I started looking at the usual recommendations here like Aula, Keychron, Wooting etc. Ngl, they look boring, rectangular, and tofu-like. It feels like most brands are playing it too safe. Maybe throwing on a knob, tiny screen，material，switch, cap or little trinkets, and keeping the overall shape completely standard. I've also seen some cool designs from custom group buys, but those are too expensive and not mass-produced.

Btw, I have two questions:

Why do most manufacturers stick to these boring, "safe" designs? Is it just manufacturing costs? Are there any other refreshing brands I should look at for a ~$250 budget mechanical keyboard with a numpad? Or should I just risk buying the K98 Pro from Amazon so I can easily return it if it arrives as a brick lmao

I’m looking for a low profile HE keyboard and I’m currently stuck between the two.

I’m currently using the Keychron K1 SE and wanna try out a HE keyboard for the first time but also need one that’s still low profile and has its function keys.

Alternatives for other keyboards are also appreciated.

I don’t want a clicky/loud sounding keyboard because I don’t want to bother my roommates.

I play some non-competitive games but also touch some shooter games when my friends decide to hop on it.

My keyboard keeps repeating inputs like 's', 'd', or 'j' without me touching my keyboard.. I turned off rapid trigger and adjusted my actuation point to 3.15mm but it still spams some of the keys. Anyone else have problems like this?

I’m curious what most enthusiasts consider the ideal spring weight for linear switches, especially for long typing sessions.

I’m currently looking at Keygeek Y2X switches, available in 32gf, 40gf, 48gf, and 53gf actuation variants, and I’m leaning toward 48gf.

Is there a generally accepted sweet spot for linears, or does it really come down to personal preference?

Also, how much does spring weight actually affect sound? Do lighter or heavier springs tend to produce a deeper, more “thocky” sound versus something sharper and more “clacky”? I know those terms are pretty subjective, but you get the idea.

Curious what weights you’ve settled on after experimenting and whether you noticed any meaningful differences in sound or typing feel.

Hi guys, as the title says my logitech g915 is out of the door, and i need a replacement. I really like watching these custom keyboard videos and hearing the sound tests, and as you called it "thocky".

Budget: 100$, i want something clean but that sounds thocky, and creamy.

Style: Preferably black with white/pink accents.

Size: 80%, i require the arrow keys.

Please leave you recommendations down below as i am desperate.

Help please. I just changed the switches and keycaps on my mechanical keyboard and now my CONTROL - ALT - DELETE isn’t working to unlock my computer. My toggle is on WIN and 2.4G like it was before. Just don’t know what else to do. They worked before I switched them out.

I'd be looking for a keyboard and mouse set preferable wireless that lights up when you type

I would be using it for work and on my Xbox

Hi I bought a Nuphy Air60 v2 for playing fighting games with and I was wondering what the best way of just whole removing keys would be, or at least making them so low I don't notice them when playing? Is there like super low profile plugs or something that works?
