HE or TMR for first magnetic keyboard?

Sensor doesn't matter really, the magmech sockets in the Fun60 might if you want the option to back out to electromechanical switches if magnetic doesn't cut it for you... but you can get whole other 60% keyboard for the price difference, and probably better software too. I would wait until the Keyc

Womier WD75 * Glencreag WK84 * Wood is an amazing case material. I have done some significant hacks on the WK84 source code online so it's legit.

So my keyboard died, again..

whats wrong with this keyboard

The Keychron Launcher is just a port of VIA with the keymaps for the Keychron keyboards built in so you don't have to install the JSON files. It also has prettier keyboard pictures, but it's functionally identical for everything that their regular QMK firmware supports. Launcher also has code for th
