Help decide, MonsGeek M1 V5 vs MCHOSE GX87 Ultra vs Keychron K2 HE
The Keychron K2 HE is a Hall-effect board and will only work with magnetic HE switches. It will not be compatible with the regular MX style switches. As far as I know magnetic switches are linear only. So later down the line if you ever wish to change out the switches, you will not be able to use Cl

Help! Overwhelmed by choices. Looking for a premium ~75% keyboard
Hardly anyone ships silent tactiles and the ones that do are overpriced and usually unsatisfactory in other ways. Just replace the switches. I share your strong preference for a 75% board with no stupid blockers. Trimode QMK 75% boards with at least 13 keys on the Fn row and at least 4 keys on the n

Has anyone else moved away from using Windows as their main OS thanks to the Steam Deck?
It's a Varmilo VB87M BT keyboard with cherry browns switches and Maxkey SA keycaps and it's mostly just for doing lots and lots of typing. I do a lot of typing for work. I actually bought it in 2017 and it's still going strong, but the board and the keycaps got a full wash last week so it's looking

Help decide, MonsGeek M1 V5 vs MCHOSE GX87 Ultra vs Keychron K2 HE
I have the K2 HE, but it doesn't work with all magnetic HE switches. Only with gateron double rail magnetic switches, but keychron has listed their dawn, nebula, and aurora switches to be only compatible so you're kind of sol at the moment. Learning the hard way atm for my first TMR board.

Teclado mecânico PT
Eu tenho um keychron v1 max e adoro, a keychron é capaz de ser a loja que te dá mais opções para pt pt, mesmo que não exista nesse layout podes comprar qualquer um em formato iso e depois por keycaps pt pt.

Mechanical vs Hall Effect – Which keyboard makes more sense for me?
Honestly, unless you're looking to dump $100+ into a keyboard, HE doesn't make sense. Cheap HE boards are just not it in terms of reliability, build quality, and software experience. The cheapest HE board I can actively recommend is something like a NuPhy Field 75 HE or Air60/75 HE. Keychron's K2 HE

All hospital keyboards are shit. I wish I had enough money to replace them all with Keychron mechanical keyboards
I bought a Keychron K2 after experiencing the garbage ED keyboards. Would highly recommend, easy to move between rotations. Haven't had any complaints from my co-residents about the clacking from the brown switches. It's a fun talking point and people know where I am in the hospital. Only downside i

Personal Keyboard
I use a Keychron K2 HE. I’m loving the magnetic switches as you get that tactile feeling without the loud clickitys. It’s small enough to travel nicely in my backpack.

75% Gaming Keyboard recommendation
Take a look at the Keychron K2 HE Aluminum. It has the 75 percent layout with F row and fast magnetic switches for FPS. Only catch is it is not a loud clicky board.

Brand new K2 HE not working
I tried out the Glorious tactile magnetics at Microcenter and they were kind of only nominally tactile, which makes sense - a proper poppy tactile would make the whole variable actuation capability meaningless. I've been looking at the XVX Whisper rubber dome tactiles, but they're north-pole down an
