K8 Pro

Jamflex increases prices to make keychrons shiet. Fally riots will continue! I have a few keychrons. Maybe have had 6 in total over the years. My K8 Pro max ultra or whatever has this issue. Only when on bluetooth, though. Wired works fine. I haven’t tried replacing the switches yet to attempt to re

I personally like the Keychron keyboards, I started with an K8, upgraded to an K8 Pro and then went with a Q1 Max and each step made me "unable" to go back, but that depends on personal taste. Every one of them has red switches (or a Keychron equivalent, don't know their names for those) which means

Been down this exact rabbit hole mate - that budget and those requirements are pretty solid for what you're after. The Keychron K8 Pro might be your best bet, ticks most of your boxes with the hot swap, decent build quality and you can get it with ISO layout through their EU store Silent switches ar

i feel you on the compatibility rabbit hole, it gets confusing fast. for what you're after, i'd honestly skip full custom and go with a solid prebuilt that checks your boxes. keychron k8 pro or q1 pro would be my picks, both are wireless with 2.4ghz, hot-swap so you can add silent switches later, an

honestly the switch choice matters way more than the board itself for office noise. i'd look at the Keychron Q3 TKL with Gateron Silent Inks or the board's stock silent switches - way quieter than membrane but still feels mechanical. the Q3 has good build quality and hotswap so you can try different

the Keychron K8 Pro / Keychron K8 Max are basically the default picks (TKL, wireless, hot-swap, RGB, value)

welcome to the rabbit hole lmao 😅 your requirements are pretty spot on for what most people actually need vs what this sub sometimes recommends keychron k8 pro is probably your best bet - ticks literally every box you mentioned. comes with gateron browns which are decent for quiet typing, hot swappa

Quiet. Doesn't need to be whisper quiet, but I want to avoid anything too noisy just because I share my office with my wife, and don't want to be making too much of a nuisance of myself. You might want to see about getting a regular board and a pack of 90 silent switches. I'm not that familiar with

i feel you on the shared office thing - i went through this last year. check out the keychron k8 pro with brown switches and foam mod. it's tkl, hot swappable, has rgb, and runs about £150. the wireless works great and it's quiet enough that my partner doesn't complain anymore.

+1 pour Keychron. Mon K8 pro que j'ai depuis 3 ans est indestructible, j'ai juste changé mes switches pour qu'il soit plus silencieux. C'est pas toujours donné et compliqué d'en trouver en layout azerty mais vraiment de bons produits. Leurs souris me font de l'œil aussi même si j'ai jamais testé.
