How did the hobby evolve over the years?
-Competitor switches to what Cherry had made for years, narrowing the gap from stock to the broken in lubed cherry switch which had become gold standard -Plate material preference has changed a bit over time. There’s plenty of brass around but there’s many more options for more flexible materials an

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

This brings back memories of my Logitech G710+ and Drop CTRL daily driving days many, many moons ago. Lovely set.

Just my first mechanical keyboard. Now I want another one
I have been collecting and repairing since the 1990s. I got out of the hobby and in 2019 built a new rig so I contacted some hobbyist friends and they let me in on the new vendors and tech. I bought a Drop CTRL tenkeyless and thought (from the marketing) that would be it. Then I received the kit and

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

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

Is this a good deal?
Dang, thats a really subjective one. Probably my all time favorite is the first build I did many years ago. Drop CTRL + kailh box whites. People either love or hate the box whites. Theyre clickly but super lightweight. 45g. Its awesome for fast typing. A lot of people arent fans of the click - its n

Bought a Drop CTRL V2 a couple weeks ago and my cat promptly knocked a drink onto it. Cleaned it out and let it air dry but the space key feels stuck. I'm having to use more force on it than on any other key. I think its the stabilizers. When I take off the keycap, the switch rebounds if pressed but

Hey all, I'm looking for a stock mechanical keyboard similar in performance to the Q1 but without the fixed angle - willing to go up to $300 USD. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! More details: I recently upgraded from my Drop CTRL to the Keychron Q1 and it was an insanely satisfying
