HE or TMR for first magnetic keyboard?

Sensor doesn't matter really, the magmech sockets in the Fun60 might if you want the option to back out to electromechanical switches if magnetic doesn't cut it for you... but you can get whole other 60% keyboard for the price difference, and probably better software too. I would wait until the Keyc

So my keyboard died, again..

Get a Keychron J2 he. It's relatively inexpensive particularly for a Keychron, it's got a great layout, and it's got TMR sensors and qmk firmware.

General keyboard questions

There is no such thing as "qmk launcher". Qmk is a set of C programs that provide keyboard services to a keyboard. A qmk-based keyboard uses qmk firmware to do all the keyboard stuff. You configure a qmk keyboard through a web application... either VIA or VIAL. Keycron's keyboards are based on qmk f

Q1 Max is dogshit

And yet that software is state of the art and better than basically every proprietary alternative. For example, most proprietary boards only have two layers. Main and function. Some don't allow you independent programming of the function layer at all. A few add an alternate profile layer for main an

whats wrong with this keyboard

The Keychron Launcher is just a port of VIA with the keymaps for the Keychron keyboards built in so you don't have to install the JSON files. It also has prettier keyboard pictures, but it's functionally identical for everything that their regular QMK firmware supports. Launcher also has code for th

HE or TMR for first magnetic keyboard?

The fun60 does have some appeal with the option to switch back to mechanical, but if you're not tied to that feature, it might not be worth the extra cost... Waiting for the Keychron J2 HE could give you better options, especially if you prioritize software and support.

should i buy keychron k2 he or wormier sk75 tmr or monsgeek m1 v5 tmr

Keychron is the only one with QMK firmware. Also consider the J2 HE if you want a knob or exploded layout. https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Keyboard-Hot-Swappable-Ultra-Fast-Non-Shine-Through/dp/B0GD7FLJFF

J2 HE 8k, K2 HE, or custom build?

They both have QMK firmware, which is a huge advantage over most magnetic boards, and means you don't need to go through any shenanigans other than possibly tweaking UDEV permissions on Linux. They said the J2 source code would be online in their Github soon. The K2 HE code is already there: https:/

Best budget 75% MacOS wireless keyboard with knob?(brown switches)

Get a keyboard with QMK firmware so you have full control over the layout without any proprietary drivers. Aula is proprietary firmware and drivers only. Many boards have no prebuilt mac key-caps but there are plenty of sets with mac-specific legends or novelties that can be swapped out. As a mac us
