All this super cheap stuff is garbage really. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just not worth it. It's just e-waste... or as you've found out, far worse than that. [edit]... the thing is, people have been giving this advice for years... no one listens.

Royal Kludge Even the name is trolling you.

North-facing options: Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) The GK61 is GH60-compatible (proof) and has a default layout with mod/tap arrows. The RK61 has a crappy default layout but this fixes

Get a QMK board so you don't get "helpful" keyboard software preventing you from changing "system" keys. Particularly for a 60% board because you can use mod-tap to create a virtual arrow cluster. Any QMK board has 1k polling. Faster than that doesn't really help. For a magnetic board the best optio

RGB is just there as a feature if you want it. It's more for backlighting effects than for actually reading the legends in the dark. Most boards are south facing, meaning that the LED is at the bottom of the switch as this is the correct way to mount a Cherry MX switch. Most shine through keycaps ha
