Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

Conseils pour un clavier iso-fr, plutôt profil bas et avec numpad

Bon il est plus vers les 140 ou 150 que

Tastatura de programator

Am MX Keys S la birou și Keychron K5 Max acasă. Mult mai mișto Keychron desigur dar nu vreau să-mi disper foarte tare colegii. Am folosit în trecut și Logitech G512, e ok dar fiind de înălțime normală e un pic mai incomodă pentru mâini și încheieturi.

Lofree Flow 2 (100-Keys) so far on my desk.

It's also my favorite. I've tried so many low profiles including Nuphy Air96 v2 with both Wisteria and Moss switches, Nuphy Node 75 with Blush Nanos, LOFREE Flow 100 with Phantom switches, every Logitech scissor keyboard, Logitech MX Mechanical, Keychron K5 Max with Brown and Brown silents, Satechi

Need help picking keyboard

I bought Cherry KC 500 (Ivory switches) from Taobao, . I prefer low profile keyboards, less fatiguing for all day typing. Other low profile keyboards I owned: Dareu EK820 - red switch (2 of them, used for 8 years), Keychron K5 Max - red switch.The KC 500 is the quietest of the bunch, and sounds nice

New Gaming Keyboards - permanently cancelled ???

Are serious? How is it above standards? Soldered switches, price higher than market standard, no via/qmk and far as the reviews should, totally sub par sound. Really name one thing that makes this keyboard stand out against a cheap keychron like a Keychron K5Max

My Keychron K5 Max Review, which I had for a while

I had this keyboard for a while (bought with my own money, the article contains affiliate links). I didn't buy it just now, and after some time of using it, I think I can review it in a good way. Typing on it is pleasant, and it's relatively quiet. Sturdy & elegant design. Comes with either red, bro
