hi #FediFriends 👋 does anyone have any #Keychron keebs or Keychron #switches in their #keebs? I’m trying to find an optimal setup for a friend’s first #MechKeeb based on her preferences from trying a couple of mine & keen to know about anyone’s experience with Keychron Banana or Silent Yellow switches (as well as any other quiet #tactile switches if you have recs for different brands) 🙏

@jojoeffe when I was schlepping every day to an office I bought a #CoolerMaster #SK622 – see https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/keyboards/mechanical-keyboards/85626-sk-622-gktr1-us

it’s a hybrid wired + wireless (BT 4.0), TKL 60% layout with low-profile Cherry MX switches (red, brown, blue), RGB backlighting, multi-device pairing & switching, & softkey switching between Mac & Win/Lin key layouts (the keys have legends for Mac & Win). it’s doesn’t have hot-swappable switches though but otherwise I think it would tick all your boxes

I bought this one with reds because this one was intended for a crowded open-plan office (😩) & I didn’t want to be stabbed in the neck with a fork… 😜

it’s also a great travel keyboard (it’s just 450g) should you have that need

I had no end of trouble with pairing the first one they shipped, but replacement worked well without any shenanigans

unfortunately (🤔) Cooler Master seem to have ditched their mech keyboard business, but you can find them on ebay new (🤞) for about the same as what mine cost in Dec 2022 (AUD$179 + $25 shipping & insurance)

their RGB keyboards are on-device configurable so you don’t need to use their (completely terrible) software to configure & switch between multiple layouts unless you want to do something extra-fancy or save your profiles for transfer to another keyboard (IIRC this model supports 4 saved profiles like the rest of their keebs but it’s been a while since I’ve used it in anger)

it seems like the white version was less popular than the “space grey” version, as there are many more of those on ebay – but if that’s your jam then you’re in luck

I went swapping some keycaps around and I think I'm gonna main my neo65 for a bit now. I know it's a bit of a hodgepodge of caps but I'm really digging the color scheme here. Very warm, slightly retro feeling, and elegant (at least to me).

The setup:

• Black neo65 with copper weight
• Geon black linear switches
• Alphas: PBTFans Dolch
• Mods: PBTFans WoB
• Arrows: GMK Botanical 2
• ESC: Hibi MX Botanical 2
• Super & Enter: Walnut keycaps from Etsy

It’s like those Pac Man joystick TV games but we are brave enough to do keyboard DOOM!

The panda-switch lumberjack got a wooden case today.
I like how that transforms the style of the keyboard from the DIY-look of the 3d printed case, to a more serious build.

Finished changing the switches on my #ergoDoxEZ and I am now rocking the clicky's. Should prevent some characters being entered by an errant finger, and sounds cool to boot.

Also changed my layout to #colemakDH as that's what I'm learning. I'm still on the first 5 keys, but having the layout there should help sink it in.
