After my first two boards, I decided that lubing stabs was the only thing worth doing

Wasn't the whole idea behind all those mods to take the stuff that was available on the market at the time (like 5+ years ago) and improve it substantially with little effort? I mean, it is crazy how much development/improvements have happened in the last few years in terms of what you get for your

What’s going on with Keychron?

So I have several older Keychron keyboards (Q, Q Pro and V series). I've had almost no problems with them with the exception of one original model Q5 that had a hot swap socket connector pop off the rear of the PCB (which potentially was my fault when replacing switches on it as I've swapped switche

NuPhy killer or nah?

Depends on what you value I guess. My €130 Nuphy Halo 2 IO feels and sounds much better than my €225 Keychron Q1 Max... and the Nuphy doesn't have rattling stabs.

Why all the hate for Keychron?

Got a Q1 HE. About half a year in I got random key presses, sent it back, got a new one. A month in, the same thing happened. Definitely not a switch issue, as it happened even with the switches removed. I’m on my third one just because I love the look and feel of it, but won’t be buying any new Key

Unpopular opinion: the V1 at $74 makes the Q1 Max at $199 almost impossible to justify. I ran the numbers.

The Q are really hard to justify, except maybe the Q4 is still a bit of a bargain. I still prefer the J2 to any of the Q or V lines. The Keychron design language that makes then leave out the bottom key in the navigation column in the V1/Q1 kind of ticks me off. Moving the column over 1/4u and putti

I'm impressed with the Neo98

That's what blows my mind. I have 4 Q series from 2020-2022 and it's crazy how bad they sound and feel(with mods and tuning) compared to the stock sound/feel of many of the boards out in the last year that cost half the price. It's just crazy to think that they were IMO the best value proposition in

If I want a single keycap printed for the 'ctrl' button on a keychron q1 max, what are my purchasing options/

the q1 max doesn't actually have an integral 'end' key and its very difficult for me to write without one. Ah. Yes, I have the same problem. This is why I got the J2 rather than the V1 or Q1. Or you could go with the Monsgeek M1 or the Kiiboom Loop75 or any of the other complete exploded 75% boards

Q1 Max flaky keys

Re "Does anyone else have this issue?": Yes, at least 169. For example, Double spacing / not inputting keys. Q1 Max, started after two days, and it is now unusable. #35 One key press, but two letters on the screen. For a Q1 Max. After a few weeks, the problem started for the Tab key and the "I" key.

pareri pe fun60 ultra tmr?

Am o Fun60 HE si dupa doua luni de la achizitie efectiv n-am mai functionat. PCB-ul s-a stricat random. Am contactat sellerul de pe Aliexpress si mi-au trimis alt PCB dar am pus-o la vanzare si mi-am cumparat ceva mai frumos si reliable, o Iqunix EV63 si are deja peste jumatate de an si e mai placut

Keyboard recommendations

120 percent or 120 keys? o.O Full size is what u describe - (normal keyboard alpha-numeric + fkeys top row + arrow and function keys then + numpad on right side) And u can get a 80% (which is what I believe the wooting 80 is) he, he = hall effect (magnetic switches, NOT mechanical, but most magnetic
