I’m new to really getting into customizing a mech keyboard, I just got the glorious gmmk....

I recently built a keyboard (previously I had only added switches and keycaps), and in the box, I see some standoffs. From what I can tell, these are optional? It seems some people use them and others do not depending on their plate material. Is this true, or are they absolutely needed?

hello wonderful folks, I have a Ducky One 2 SF and recently my Tab and Esc key stopped working. I’ve taken the keyboard apart (as much apart can be taken without de-soldering the switches) and cleaned it all out. The switch itself works (verified using a multi meter and shorting the pins in the back with a screwdriver) however...

I’m considering getting a Keychron K8 Pro or Q3 keyboard, but the keycaps don’t have backlit letters. Annoyed. Anyone got other recommendations for a bluetooth TKL mechanical keyboard with backlit keys?

A friend ofminee and me are building a keyboard. And I think it might be my end game. Keychron Q6, stabilizer tape and lubed. WS heavy tactile switches. This is amazing!

Hello all,...

I am still learning the hobby, but recently I found a keyboard I really like, however it has bluetooth (yikes). I’m not a fan of Bluetooth for keyboards that I will 100% use wired, and it doesn’t seem there is a way to disable the Bluetooth via Firmware or Hardware switch....

Hi all! I have an input club infinity 60% keyboard with matias quiet click switches which I really like. I like the really pronounced bump right at the top and the way the resistance drops. Are the any cherry mx compatible switches that have a similar profile?

Have been debating a new keyboard for awhile and haven’t been able to settle on anything. I used to have Razer everything but I finally got tired of my Mamba double clicking so I got a Corsair Harpoon to try something new....

I have some stuff to sell.

I’m partial to MX brown keys and would like to find a reasonably priced (

I saw the glorious gaming wooden wrist rest but not a fan of the logo. Is there something better in the price range?...

So, I have a 100% Keychron Q6 that I’ve changed the switches and caps on, and it’s been treating me very well!...

I’m humming and hawing over which split 36-key or thereabouts keyboard to get, either pre-soldered or as a kit to do the soldering myself (which would be an adventure because it has been a minute)....

Hello,...

i have a few apple extended keyboard ii that are in good working shape. i have considered purchasing an adapter to use them with usb, because i can remember absolutely loving to use these keyboards....

I recently got into the hobby, and have a Keychron Q6 (100%) that I’ve changed the switches and keycaps on....

Hello everyone, I want to ask about the RGB LED strength on different switches. I have keyboards with Cherry MX Red, Cherry MX Silent, Outemu Red and now newly a hot swappable Kailh Red....

Hello everyone,...

Given that metal doesn’t work well with connections. I’m looking at a Zoom ee V2 or waiting for a 65% with Bluetooth. Missed the GB for a recent one I think.

I like how long the battery lasts on the k400, the range, and it’s such a nice accessory for when I’m on the couch and navigating my PC from the television. Having trackpad right there is great too....

Given the overlap in interests between mechanical keyboards and Lemmy, I thought some of you might be able to make use of this macro....

Hey all,...

I picked up a glove80 ergo mech, coming from a regular split keyboard, and am having a hard time adjusting. Got a couple questions. 1. For those of you that use tiling window managers like i3 or sway, or anything with a mod key, what do you use for your mod key? The “System” key on this board is so far away that my thumb...
