I'm looking for a prebuilt 75% keyboard which supports Mac that is preferably around $70-$80 USD, I'm thinking about getting the Keychron V1 are there any better options? thanks
Is the NK87 worth it at $75? >

Yea, seems fair >

Recently swapped in c3 equalz tangerine v2 67g into my keeb. My problem is that they feel really heavy, so I have a couple questions about springswapping. Can I just swap any springs into the switch and it would be fine? I have some unused clicky switches which I think are around 50g, so could I switch those into the tangerine switches and it would be fine? Also, are there any springs which are well-liked by the community that I could buy around the 50-55 g range? Thanks in advance! >

It's fine. Spring swapping only becomes an issue with tactile switches as weaker springs might have trouble pushing the stem back up. Using long springs fixes that usually. >

Any recommendations for a keyboard with a softer click? Mine is pretty loud and can be heard through my door when closed which I don’t really like. Cheers >

there's a lot of good silent switches out there. maybe even some linears with mods on your keyboard will make it have a more muted sound. >

What is the best way to repair a broken connection slot on a keycap? >

u mean the plastic stem ? not really do way to glue it back to match its exact shape after breakage >

Best Budget hotswap 75% keybored not plastic >

under 200 iv looked at the gmmk pro and i liek the style but the price for the barebones is though to chew for me atm  as i want to make this a very THCOY keybored >

I'm torn between 65% and 75% for one stupid reason: the F3 key.
Back story: my office has a ton of acronyms, a particular date/time format, and capitalizing rules that don't follow actual English grammar. I edit a lot of of other people's writing who can't comprehend our company's ridiculous capitalizing rules and formats, so I frequently use SHIFT+F3 when editing documents. It's literally the only function key I use.
If I get a 65% is it as simple as SHIFT+FN+3 for the same function? >

Yep, that's pretty much it! You could also program a key to be a macro as shift+fn+3 if you want (if the board is programmable, of course, like with VIA/GMK). >

Follow up question, if I program the macro at home will it work at the office? >

as long as the board uses some form of onboard memory it will work. VIA/QMK will work, but custom softwares usually don’t. >

I'll keep this in mind. I'm trying to keep it simple with VIA/QMK and not some proprietary software. I don't want to get in trouble with work IT policies >

What to do with extra switches? Anyone know of a small cherry style hotswap macro pad? >

give em to me?? >

Lol there’s like 8 >

I'm all in for em :) >

Just got my first mechanical; the Keychron Q3 with knob, and I'm wanting to see if its possible to have a keystroke to launch Spotify. Was aiming for the knob press but that doesn't seem to be able to be remapped in VIA and can't get it to work on a different key. Have also tried '{KC_LGUI} SPOTIFY {KC_ENT}' but there needs to be a delay input into it as it falls over.  Any help appreciated peeps. >

You should be able to remap the knob press; try remap-keys.app instead of VIA maybe first, and if that doesn't work you might need to update the firmware. 
You can also put some "empty" key presses in the macro to add a delay, or if you're on updated firmware can add {500} or whatever to set delays too.
That said keyboard firmware can't really do "direct" program opening, but software can; autohotkey (or karabiner for mac?) is incredibly lightweight and pretty easy to do that stuff with, so you could have it set to open Spotify with a hotkey combo and then assign that combo to your knob press for example. >

I am a bit new to this whole hobby. I just realized my keyboard has size 1u ALT FN and CTRL keys and I'm trying to find a keycap set. Any recommendations? (60% btw) >

Also. It's an MK-Box (it was a good budget keyboard) >

I just realized it's bc I also have arrow keys. That's a whole other thing I forgot >

You also have a 1.75u right Shift key. Fortunately, this is common enough on 65% keyboards that many keycap sets support it. Glorious GPBT do, as do many on CannonKeys, Drop, and NovelKeys.
