After my first two boards, I decided that lubing stabs was the only thing worth doing

Wasn't the whole idea behind all those mods to take the stuff that was available on the market at the time (like 5+ years ago) and improve it substantially with little effort? I mean, it is crazy how much development/improvements have happened in the last few years in terms of what you get for your

Saw this on a Keychron listing on Amazon. We are so cooked

I got myself a Q1 two month ago and because it was my first dip into the more expensive keyboard world it was amazing at first. But after using it and reading into custom keyboards on here I disliked the sounds more and more. Then I started to mod it because I still loved the straight design of the

anyone else completely avoiding peripherals that force you to keep their software running

The Keychron Q1 V2 is on sale for $89 right now. Get that... foam layer to kill ping, and it's a good workhorse of a board.

NuPhy killer or nah?

Depends on what you value I guess. My €130 Nuphy Halo 2 IO feels and sounds much better than my €225 Keychron Q1 Max... and the Nuphy doesn't have rattling stabs.

75% keyboard options ?

zoom75 is solid choice but honestly the knob placement feels weird when you're used to having it on right side like most boards have you looked at keychron q1 knob edition? the build quality is way better than epomaker stuff and you can get similar sound profile with right switches and foam mods

Thoughts about the Keychron Q1 ultra

I’ve owned at least 6 keychron boards, which include the Q1 Pro, Q1 Max, and I just received the Q3 Ultra. I’ve never had any QC issues with any of these. At $229, the Q3 Ultra is an insane bargain for what you’re getting. You’d be hard pressed to build something of equal quality for less than $400-

What's the best MECHANICAL KEYBOARD widely loved today?

the Keychron Q series is pretty much the gold standard for this right now. i use a Q1 for both work and gaming and it's fantastic - the gasket mount makes it sound really nice without being too loud. if you want something pre-built, the Lemokey L3 is another solid option from the same company. big t

I'm impressed with the Neo98

That's what blows my mind. I have 4 Q series from 2020-2022 and it's crazy how bad they sound and feel(with mods and tuning) compared to the stock sound/feel of many of the boards out in the last year that cost half the price. It's just crazy to think that they were IMO the best value proposition in

Keyboard suggestions with these specs?

Check out the Keychron Q1 HE. It sounds good and feels nice, plus you can customize it a lot. the volume knob is a cool feature, and it’s built pretty well I get why you might think the Gravastar looks too flashy for some setups. Also, someone mentioned keyboardyeti for comparing specs and comfort,

Portable Workstation

Would you say they are loud? I just got the Blush nano because I already have Keychron Q1 with Quinn switches, which is nice to type on but too loud. The Blush switches are very silent but it's like typing on a marshmellow. I got it as a silent alternative to my primary Q1. What is it like to type o
