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

Monsgeek M1 v5 VIA * The platonic ideal of a consumer 75% AL but seem to be out of stock, I guess we're waiting for v6. Akko 5075B VIA * The M1's plastic pal. Womier WD75 * Glencreag WK84 * Wood is an amazing case material. I have done some significant hacks on the WK84 source code online so it's legit.

Keychron J2 HE. https://www.amazon.com/Keychron-Keyboard-Hot-Swappable-Ultra-Fast-Non-Shine-Through/dp/B0GD7FLJFF The cheapest QMK firmware magnetic board you can get. They have told me they will be releasing the source code.

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.

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

Newbie Keeb recommendation

Changing the case is not really practical in most boards over 60%, and even for small boards you have the deliberately look for Pok3r/GH60 style options to get that ability. The one exception is the YMDK YMD75: YMDK has a number of cases for it and you can also use some KPRepublic cases with minor s

Good Mechanical keyboard

Most Redragon keyboards are proprietary junk, but there are a few exceptions. This one is really aamzing for the price, AL case, QMK firmware: Redragon k739 * ($65) Aula are all proprietary junk. Other good options: Akko 5075B VIA * ($60 barebones) YMDK YMD75 * ($64-$110 diy) CIDOO QK61 * ($51) Skyloong

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

Cant decide btween Attack shark x68 and Irok MG68 Ace

I would personally not buy a product from a dodgy company because they are unlikely to provide satisfactory service if anything goes wrong. Their fake "QMK" web app that is the actual fraud is not very good. If I was getting a magnetic board right now I would get the Keychron J2 he without hesitatio

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.
