Sugestão de teclado mecânico

Vou só dar aqui um contraponto: mudei recentemente de um Ducky One 2 para um Keychron K1 Max e estou um bocadinho desapontado. Por vezes o K1 decide passar-se e fica um uma tecla a repetir infinitamente. Claramente um problema de interferência wireless. A bateria também é miserável. Tive de desligar

K4 V2 RGB backlight is really weak

By changing the keyboard firmware (compiling from source code), I think it is possible to increase the current (and thus the brightness of the LEDs). I also think it is relatively straightforward, only changing a few lines of code. But the question is: What is the limit? At what current will the LED

What debounce time do you have configured on your Keychron?

I bought this keyboard from keyboardco.com in july 2025 (I wanted an English ISO layout), so I assume it

K1 max vs QMK v6

The K1 V6 (QMK-based) has north-facing LEDs, so it will be much easier to find shine-through keycaps, including PBT keycaps (this combination is probably nearly impossible to find for south-facing keycaps). An example of PBT shine-through keycaps is Tai-Hao. I bought my set on sale for 1/3 the price

Best keyboard for a BI analyst: smooth, satisfying, and comfortable — NuPhy? Lofree? Other?

I'm a developer, so my workflow is pretty similar to yours. I tried Keychron K1 Max with Brown switches and NuPhy Air75 with Wisteria switches and kept the NuPhy for the reasons below: - Even though both switches are tactile, typing on Nuphy feels better to me.- The NuPhy seems better built.- Backli
