I know this is a pretty male dominated hobby/subreddit, so where are my keeb girlies at? Let’s be friends!

Green girlies unite! This is the Drop CTRL V2, with Gateron Yellow Pro switches for most of the keyboard and AKKO V3 Penguin switches for the space/enter/shift keys, and then Osume Dalgona + Matcha Marshmallow profile key caps. Currently ordered and working on building a black one for writing, but t

My first build - y’all are tripping if you’re telling me there’s a difference between most of these.

There's like 10 layers to enthusiast keyboards that all change the sound, it's a lot of fine tuning. Most people will get by with a few different switches and a solid keyboard base, but doing so in a tester and not a built keyboard, you're not getting the full experience. I didn't even know they wer

Linus Torvalds goes back to a mechanical keyboard after making too many typos

I’m fixing up my coworkers drop ctrl and it has kailh box whites in it. While I personally have moved on from clicky switches I had to try it out before dismantling it for a cleaning. They were surprisingly nice but because of the board they were in I could feel it reverberate in my ear. Like I coul

Gift for my sister!

This is my most exciting build to date! I took my first keyboard ever, the Drop CTRL V1, and spray-painted the aluminum top casing with lavender paint. I then added Gateron Yellow KS3 Switches and hand-lubed Everglide Panda V3 Gold-Plated Mounted Stabilizers. To finish it off, I used the Drop + Bees

I swear there are too many people like this.

It's not as bad as the community makes it sound. Back in the day, if you wanted a custom board, you had to solder your own switches, build or program your own pcb, etc.. Now switches are hot swappable and mappings can be changed on the fly. The hobbyists have nothing left to do, so they have to inve

Finally tried Kailh Box White V1

Traded my browns for box white v1’s. I helped my coworker with her keyboard because she was tired of the click noise. She’s using a drop ctrl and that thing is just stamped metal with switches pretty much. Using that thing with the box whites was ear piercing. Put them in my hi75 with pbt denim caps

Brand new

I hope you'll enjoy them once they arrive. From a technical stand point, wireless is inferior as there is data loss depending on distance and added delay. Get rid of delay and you will have compressed audio that is inferior to the resource. In my experience, 2 hours at best is not a problem at all w

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer (December 08, 2024)

For that budget I would have a look at the Neo lineup, like Neo 75Cu or Neo 80. If you don't want to build yourself, there is the Evo80. Other places to look would Mode designs, though they might go over budget with many of their options. In the more custom route there are plenty of kits nowadays, t
