  I’ve just got a keychron K8 for my first ever mechanical keyboard after reading up a lot on this Reddit. I would say that while I love it when it’s wired, the Bluetooth is absolutely unworkable. I’ve bought a separate, long range dongle and even though the device is still right next to the PC, it loses connection almost immediately, or else repeats/misses keystrokes all the time. It appears to be a known issue, and I may end up sending it back.
context: Keychron, Akko and Epomaker have more budget oriented boards, both as barebones kits and fully built. With some modding a lot of their boards can sound and feel very good, depending on how much work you are willing to put in. >
  
  Akko has some nice budget options >
  
  TOFU65 is a very nice entry level board >
  
  Keychron is by far the best. I'd get something from the V series with the hotswap option, that'll be a great starting point for the hobby.
  And if you don't care about the hobby, it's still a damn good keyboard for a great price. >
  
  I just got a keychron on sale and was very impressed. I used to recommend DAS keyboard, but I do appreciate how far the mechanical keyboards scene has developed >

  If you're already hooked and want a good entry - I got a Keychron Q3. It's pretty awesome stock and the case ping is its only issue imo which is solved in 2 minutes with a bit of tape. (Google Force Break Mod)It's a heavy boy, feels expensive and high quality and it feels absolutely lovely to type on, especially if you're coming from standard gaming keyboards like I did.The customization options are also endless. It's by no means entry-level, it's just a really good board in general. >
  
  I second this. My daily on my PC is the Q3 with KS9 pro yellow switches (until my Mammoth75 is done). And my work kbd is an Odin V2. I HEAVILY modded the Q3 but it just feels perfect to me.
  I have 2 Q3 boards, one with the stock Alu plate and my pc driver with PC plate.
  My wife has a Q1 and now she wants my white Q3 (the one I’m not using, just need to swap the switches with silent ones for her) >
  
  what mods did you do on the Q3 if you don't mind listing them? :)
