Could someone please help me find dsa pbt split spacebar keycaps, I have no more hair to pull out.
I would say that you will be able to get the creamy if you use all foams >

So the plate would not matter that much? Because I’ve planned to put on some foams inside and lube already! >

The plate might change it a bit but full foam config usually lead to the marbly sound which I think is the creamy you want. If you were not using all foams and wanted the clackiest sound I would say to go with alu plate, if you want a softer typing maybe try pom o pc plate, fr4 would be something in between alu and the others >

Thank you for taking the time! It helped a lot. >

No problem ✌️ >

Hi there!
I'm getting into this amazing world of making your own keyboard and I guess I wont have just one keyboard but I do have some questions.
Coming from the mac world, I used slim keyboard for the past year and I was wondering if the passage to a full height keyboard was easy for some of you. I like the minimalistic approach of not having a wrist rest on the desk. Are you people able to use a full height keyboard without a wrist rest?
Last question, if I'm going toward the low-profile option, like Keychron K3 (Pro or V2, hard to know) is there still a great possibility of finding key caps?
I guess I'm trying to find the most customizable low-profile keyboard, any recommendation? >

i'd say most people don't use a wrist rest. with normal mechanical keyboards your choices are literally in the hundreds for switches and keycaps. low profile switches and keycaps are fairly new and offer only a handful of choices. i switch between laptop and mech all the time, for me it was never an issue >

Keychron K8 pro wouldn't connect to VIA program, VIA says "searching for devices". Seems it doesn't want to recognize the keyboard. Key tester recognizes tho. Any ideas to what could be  the problem here? >

with the pros you have to import the json.
go to the settings tab in via to enable "show design tab", then you can load the json in the appearing design tab (might have to enable "use v2 definition"). firmware upgrade and json file here >

So I put the json file and done everything the tutorial says, but the configure page says "searching for devices". Am I missing something? >

Just ordered a Cloud Nine C989 ErgoFS.  
How do I know what size each keycap is in order to know what keycaps I could buy? >

Keycaps are standard sizes. Letters and numbers are 1u.
Keycaps increase in size by 0.25u. For example:

Modifiers like Ctrl and Alt are typically 1.25u
Tab and backslash are 1.5u
Caps Lock is 1.75u
Backspace, numpad 0, numpad Enter, and numpad + are 2u
Edit: Enter and left Shift are 2.25u
Edit: right Shift is typically 2.75u. Condensed layouts like 65%, 75%, and 1800 have a 1.75u right Shift. This is common enough that many keycap sets include it.

The ErgoFS looks to have standard keycap sizes, except for the split spacebars. They appear to be 3.5u.
You may have a difficult time finding keycap sets that cover the macro keys, but you could leave them, use blanks, or get relegendable keycaps.
Edit: the ErgoTKL (which I realize you do not have) has a 1.75u right Ctrl key. This is not standard. Many keycap sets include a 1.5u Ctrl key, which will work but have a little gap on each side. >

Thank you! >

Hi all just wondering if anyone has switch suggestions I’ve been on topres for a long time and fancy building a new high end board >

Ideal thanks a lot I’ll take a look >

looks like a gmmk pro to me >

Out of pure curiosity, Does anyone know about a good Gmk set that will go with dark green? Send names and I’ll look up an image, thx! >

GMK Terror Below
Also, while not GMK, Glorious GPBT keycaps come in a "Rainforest" colorway. >

Yea both aren’t my imaginative picture and this information is good help, thank you, >

this might be helpful: link >

Thank you so much 😊 >

I recently got the vortex tab 75 and have been using for about a month with no issues, but recently it hasn't been working. I plug it in rather than using Bluetooth and it stopped working last night, I pressed both alt keys to reset it and it started working again but its stopped working again today. I've changed the cable and even tested it on a different keyboard and they both worked, so I'm assuming its the keyboard.
Does anyone know what the issues could be and how I could fix this? >

All I want is a keyboard with medium thick bezels with round edges in grey. Why is it so hard to find? The Space65 and Hibiki are long sold out. The Keychron Q1/Q2 silver color looks great but has sharp edges. >

If you like it then go ahead
It should work fine technically, just not as well as normal switch lubes >

awesome, cheers man >

anybody recommend the monsgeek m1? >

Yes >

probably a dumb question but can i use mechanical grease to lube my keyboard, i ahve outemu reds (cherry mx knockoff) >

Itd be better to use 205g0 >

I'm asking this question again since I forgot to add some info. Okay, so I'm on a budget of ~$120 and am looking for a good (idealy) 65% keyboard. It would have to be prebuilt as I don't feel like I can build my own just yet, it would also have to be upgradable in the future, so hot-swap. It would preferably have NKRO, but I guess most keyboards have that lmao. What are some good options?
Thanks >

Keychron V2 >

@576875 I looked at other keychron keyboards. How do you feel about the k6 pro? Is it good? >

I'd say the k6 pro is also good. I'd say go with that if you need Bluetooth >

I've been looking at putting together my own keyboard for a while, just not too sure on what parts i'd need, i would like a compact 60 or 65%, been looking at matt30 keycaps, and DZ65 hotswappable board. any other pointers are greatly appreciated. >

you will need these parts for a complete keyboard;
case, pcb, pcb plate, stabilizers, keycaps, switches
optional:
case foam, pcb foam, lube, masking tape >

What would be a better version of gateron milky caps yellow? And how do these compare with oil kings? >

What can cause key chatter? I have a Corsair K95 platinum that I'm considering RMAing because of a very annoying key chatter problem, but to be 100% sure that the keyboard actually is the problem I've been using a regular Logitech membrane keyboard for the past few hours and i'm still getting chatter!
Could it be software-based then? What can I do to check? It seemed to not be as big of an issue (although still present) before I upgraded to windows 11, could Win11 be at fault here, somehow? Faulty drivers, maybe (but for two different keyboards?)? >

Hello everyone! I have a razer blackwidow v3, was wondering if any of you could give me some advice on which keycaps would work with the green switches (apart from the razer ones) >

looks standard sized to me. any keycap set made for mx switch would work, which are almost all of them >

Thanks! >

Keep in mind the some cherry profile will have interference with north facing placement >

What is the best barebones kit for a noobie like me? I'm kind of afraid of soldering and would prefer to only put in the switches and Keycaps, stabs if needed, but I am comfortable with the screwdriver, not soldering just yet. >

most kits these days are hotswap which doesn't require soldering. so the only difference with kits compared to barebones is that you have to put in some screws yourself, no skills required really. having said that, keychron offers great barebones version of their V and Q series. you didn't mention which layout you want but if you like TKL i'd consider the kbdfans tiger lite kit >

My bad, I'm looking for 60%, 65%, or TKL. >

Q series and V series have all those layouts, and Tiger Lite is a TKL >

People who use tall keycap profile like MT3 or SA, do they suffer from binding on off-center presses? >

No >

Did you bought the split ext from AliExpress?
Ye I just built mine too!
These are jumpers for trouble shooting, it’s not a necessity to solder them in unless you have a problem, 
My pcb has the right space bar not responding, it might have to do with them including these jumpers :p >

Does spring swap affect the sound of the switch? (considering that there is no spring ping on both stock and swapped springs) 
Want to spring swap for Ink Blacks v2 >

Not really >

Hey guys, I’m new to mechanical keyboards and I really want to get one. I want a 75% keyboard (with a knob if possible). I also like to feel of brown/ tactile switches. Do you recommend me Keychron? If not, what would you suggest? My budget is $80-100. I appreciate any recommendations 
(P.S. I have just some laymen knowledge so I don’t have the ability to customize the keyboard.) >

the 60% of keychron wouldn't have a knob (65% and upwards do). i only know of the ajazz K620T right now with one in that layout (don't know if its any good). otherwise yes, keychron and akko offer really good value in general >

Which brand would you recommend to noobs like me? I heard from someone that I can’t go wrong with keychron >

like i said, keychron and akko have great value. for your budget i'd suggest a keychron V series
