C2 Pro

One option is to buy a keyboard you like that says “hotswappable switches”. You can buy the switches separately and install them yourself. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. The ‘thocky’ ones I use is the Akko Bittersweet switches, and I installed them on my Keychron C2 Pro. A keyboard that doesn’t r

My last build was a Mekanisk Klippe kit that I spent about $340 on, plus close to $200 for the keycaps that are on it, but I also bought a wired Keychron C2 Pro for my mother a couple of months ago that was about $60. The Keychron is legitimately a good keyboard. It's not nearly as premium as my Kli

Be aware of: The default space for macros (and the number of) is not nearly enough for any serious use of macros (you will very quickly run out of space). It is relatively easy to increase if you know how, but it requires recompiling the keyboard firmware from source code. An alternative without any

I just got a Keychron mechanical to replace one that died earlier in the year. A low end Aukey mechanical, used Cherry clone MX blues (Clicky/tactile). Having used in a previous life briefly a buckling spring Model M from IBM many moons ago, I like the feel of the clicky/tactile best. Like you, I'm

I'm looking for recommendations on a nice tactile switch i can get that won't break the bank. My corsair k90 i got for free finally started having too many chattering issues after over 10 years of use, so i retired it (the switches aren't hotswappable) and i just got a cheap full sized keyboard with

I recently bought 2 Keychron keyboards, a C2 Pro and a V6 Max, both with banana switches. The C2 works perfectly, no issues with double pressing, and the keys feel "good". The V6 on the other hand is not so great. The E key has periods where it double presses 90% time (but sometimes the double press

The keychron C2 Pro is a soldered board, and I would strongly suggest getting hotswap. Also, Keychron has been having quality issues and their support people are ghosting users with problems. Here's some recent decent hotswap VIA boards of various sizes: Redragon K717 Pro * ($20) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Sk

I was actually considering a Keychron to replace my 14 year old Mionix Zibal 60 (sadlly, the cable and/or connector is starting to go on it) from 2011. I was actually looking at their K10 HE or C2 Pro. Honestly, leaned towards the C2 Pro as I really don't want wireless and battery. I want a good stu

I have keychron C2 PRO bought 2 years ago. Several months ago it started to have double strikes, some keys are randomly repeating. It got worse and worse, I tried everything including deep cleaning from dust. It didn't help. Additionally, it doesn't have hot swap, switches are soldered. Also I have

Doesn't seem to be available in my country What about the the Ajazz AK820 MAX and Keychron C3 Pro They are available for around $60 and I've seen them mentioned as good keyboards a lot, but I'm unsure about their latency The C1/C2 Pro were reviewed to have good latency on rtings so I'd assume the C3
