Keyboard Nut Thread

[charizarding]

I also just want to say that this is a F***** awful rabbit hole. You think you have made a decision and then you come across >> https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-rt100?variant=45597852205364

And reconsider another 25 different options.

Welcome..

I have massive decision paralysis right now trying to find keycaps i want for my Keychron V1 QMK.

I bought this and it lasted 15 minutes before a 4 keys stopped working. How's your Friday going?

Just posting here because I know you lot may appreciate an S tier KB.

Thanks to all the great suggestions I ended up with the following:

Just a two week wait for delivery but will update as such time as I have it.

Okay I have received the KB.

Little higher in the front than I'm used to but isn't seeming to be an issue as of yet. I went with the silent linears as I'm using it in an open plan office. That results in a slightly mushy key feel but really not bad but it's absolutely silent, like the membrane keyboard makes more noise.
Prefer the Sculpted OSA keycaps on my V5 to the Uniform OSAs on the RT100 but otherwise happy so far.

Will update over time as I spend more time with it. Got it late this afternoon.

I'm sending mine back.

Cant get the software to work and while using it in wireless mode in a ranked match it just switched off and took the sound with for some reason.

Skill issue.

This is a really long thread so let me just ask, where do you guys go to buy switches?

I'm looking to sell / trade 30 to 60 of the Redragon Blue switches that came with my TKL board and replace them with linear switches.

 

[hOOli]

Which would you get? Gateron KS-9 Red linear switches or Keychron K Pro Silver linear switches?

Unfortunately the K Pro Red's (Silent) aren't in stock.

There are a few places that have them in stock.

 

[hOOli]

Thanks you're right. I found a few of the smaller shops do have stock.

 

[Billionairebum]

I was thinking about getting those but happy with the Gateron Reds for now. Send some feedback when you get them.

 

[hOOli]

My Keychron switches are shipping tomorrow from Rebel Gaming so I should have them around Thursday. Since I only need about 60 switches I'm selling the remaining 50 over here if anyone is interested. I am also selling 60 of my Redragon Blue switches over here.

I don't know much about the depths of keyboards like you guys do, could you tell me what I should go for. I'm going to get a new keyboard, TKL size wise (Ieaning to Glorious or Cougar Puri mini) but don't know what switches are the loudest click in your opinion? There is so many options and configs, and if pre-lubed or not of said switches. The types of games is this:

 

[hOOli]

Do you want clicky switches? In that case buy something with blue switches that looks good to you they are all quite loud. And get something with a hot swappable PCB so that you can replace the switches later if the noise gets to be too much. That's exactly what I did.

Thanks for this, I'll do that then. I saw so many different types (and configs) that I wasn't sure and figured I'd ask here, now I know where to start. Aprreciate the advice.
