My favorite keyboard to type on is a meme

It's a good keyboard; I have a Q5 MAX, and it's one of my favorites. It still has the original Jupiter Banana switches, and I replaced the keycaps with Metropolis R2. It looks great. I find the knob useful, but I could manage without it. At least it's more discreet than the one on the OnePlus 81 Pro

Recommendations for keycaps for Q5 Max

What profile is that? Keychron has a few (Keychron OSA, Cherry and recently some new SA-type).Edit: I see new Q5 Max has KSA.

Another newcomer here, looking for recommendations. I really like the 96%/1800/mini full size layouts. Realized I do not use any of the keys in the home section of a full sized keyboard outside of delete. However, I do need a number pad for work and a separate num pad doesn't appeal to me.All that t

Keychron. I have a Q5 max, all aluminum that I love but it's a 96% which I know isn't fullsize, but it has almost all of the keys including a numpad. Otherwise, I think it's the Q6 that is the 100%. They have an HE version with wooden accents that is beautiful, but these are pretty pricy and the cus

Is there a website recommendation for buying a prebuilt mechanical keyboard? I know of keychron, was wondering if there are others. I am looking for a new 96% layout keyboard for my office, preferably with clicky or tactile switches. I am pretty unfamiliar with all the lingo when it comes to mechani

I finally did it. Epomaker Aula 99 pro. Anyone have experience ?

It sucks but I'm using a Q5 Max that hasn't had issues, but I've never so much as swapped a switch on it so far, which is where most people seem to get issues to happen. Also putting lots of pressure when typing or gaming. I don't do either so I'm fine for now. People guess it has to do with the fle

Leopold Fc900 is really hard to beat for a pre built board. Not sure on the conversion rate at the moment, but it should be near your budget/worth expanding to obtain. That said, you are going to lose RGB, and the further you get into the hobby the quicker you notice LEDs becoming less and less prev

I can’t find a mechanical keyboard that fits my needs!

Maybe not so? Perhaps I have been lucky through the q1 pro, q5 max, q1 he, lemo l1, lemo he, but I have not had a failure from keychron. I have seen several posts about avoiding the q6, which I have no experience. I have moved on from Keychron to other boards, but KC was a good gateway drug.
