K10 HE

Re "context menu key got hijacked to FN": Yes, indeed That is a problem for all keyboards with an Fn key, including keyboards from Cooler Master, Ducky, and Corsair. Unlike the first two, Corsair made the right choice by leaving out the right Windows key, not the context menu key (and in the standar

Yes, checking the box I did get the special edition indeed. Sadly the amazon listing didn't specify anything like the keychron page you linked. The problem is I'm sadly used to this. Ordering Keyboards in Germany is always a lottery. Most product pages only have images for the US versions of the key

Personally I would go with either the DP104, Q6 Ultra or ND104. I don't have much use for HE/TMR, but if I would use it I'd probably go with Keychrons Q6 HE. Reason being that they supposedly have decent software support and iirc the firmware is ZMK-based and thus should be open source. It also has

Re "you can just swap out the keycaps": That is only practical for keyboards with north-facing LEDs (like the K10 HE), especially for ISO variants (not even from Keychron, as they are likely "sold out", to never ever return) It is slightly easier for a standard 100% layout (or true TKL), but not by

Palm rest might help, but it does take some getting used to. And different mechanical keyboards also differ between the types of switches. A longer time ago I used a clicky mechanical keyboard (MX blue switches) which was great back then, but the in the more recent past I used a (low profile) Logite

I have only used my My K10 HE Pro on my Omarchy Linux machine, and it started with the repeating tilde problem. Next, I reset to factory defaults (FN+j+z), though I had made zero alterations to the keyboard. Red flashing backlight confirmed the reset.Immediately after, the tilde key quit working alt

If you’re not a gamer, I wouldn’t recommend the Keychron K10 HE. You could get the regular K10 which would be cheaper. I have a V6 Max as my keyboard at work and I love it. Mine came with Gateron Jupiter reds which I swapped out for some oil kings. I have an Epomaker and an Aula, though not any of t

Dammit I've been having these same issues with my k10 he but the keychron website doesn't have an easy way to file warranty claims.

Re "how is the the key visibility": It is literally blinding (read: useless) For it to work, A modification is required. It is tedious and time-consuming to apply. Be sure to get shine-through keycaps (pictures can be deceiving, and the particular variant with shine-through keycaps may be "sold out"

Here is a list. And one focused on availability and ISO variants. At least the K10 HE doesn't have blinding light, but the selection of "switches" is much lower (many orders of magnitude) for a Keychron HE keyboard. Gotcha: Pictures on the product pages can be deceptive, e.g., if the keycaps are shi
