Keychron K7E5 mint switches
The full size Gateron Jupiter Banana are the best switches Keychron sells. OMG they're so much better than the weaksauce browns. So here are the best budget 65% I know about. The MU68 is less budget than the others but the wooden case is so lovely: Womier VK66 Pro * ($42) Womier Q61 v2 * ($42) Royal K

that missed keypress issue is a nightmare for gaming. between those two, the rk r65 is probably the safer bet for reliability since hall effect boards can be hit or miss at that price. but if you want something that just works and feels solid, i'd check out the Redragon K552 Kumara. it's a tank, sup

Wireless Mechanical Keyboard under £60
The wired QMK/VIA versions of the RK61, RK R65, and RK R75 are good. I was unable to get the wireless RK R75 to connect to VIA and RK support was clearly confused so I returned it to Amazon rather than debug it further. I haven't tried the new RK R87. For the RK R61 the Redragon k717 is basically be

Need help with deciding a keyboard
You have 250$, you don't have to play with a 100$ Rainy75. Better settle to an Evo75 or a custom Zoom75 Tiga build >Is the Rainy 75 actually a noticeable upgrade from an RK R65? Yes. Leagues ahead, but not worth 250 USD. >If I do go with the Rainy 75, which switches would you recommend for gaming +

Which keyboard is better?
Disclaimer: I tend to avoid keyboards with screens because they're mostly just another thing to break. The K719 is one of the least bad legacy Redragon boards. The screen is sorta functional and you can set the screen's clock using the knob which makes it not purely useless, but I prefer tapping on

Keyboard recommendations🙏🏻
If you’re thinking about the RK R65 with brown switches, it’s a good pick for reliability and feels nice to type on. The ajazz hall effect keyboard is kinda cool, but if you had trouble with missed key presses before, maybe stick with what you know works... For other options in that price range, che

What keyboard should I buy and should I get new keycaps for it?
HK gaming GK61 HK Gaming is currently in violation of the court order that Skyloong (the actual manufacturer of the real GK61) has won against them. The "HK Gaming GK61" is a shoddy forgery. Do not get it. On top of which that one is optical. That's double red flags. Here are some actually good 60%

are royal kludge keyboards bad?
Compared to Corsair, probably not, but they have a pretty awful driver for their legacy boards and on some boards it's totally pants. So I wouldn't get the s98, since it's a legacy board. The good RK boards are: RK61 VIA (the new QMK/VIA version only) RK R65 VIA wired (ditto) RK R75 VIA wired (ditto
