I bought my first mechanical keyboard today. It's a Keychron V3 TKL QMK Custom. It's also my first backlit keyboard. I like the tactile feel, the sound, and also the backlight. I have set it up to light only the keys I am pressing. It looks cool.
Any recommendations for a budget wired mechanical (TKL) keyboard I can buy during the Black Friday deals? I want to retire my Microsoft sculpt combo. I am tired of changing batteries in the middle of work. I want to go all wired now.
I'm used typing on Model M buckling springs.
I have a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue that I rarely use because I don't like the keyboard case.
But I like how they both click!
Currently daily driver has Akko Cilantro, which are really nice but I'm not into the "tapdancing on plastic" sound it makes.
I'm now eyeing a new keyboard case, and am looking for an old-school feeling-and-sounding clicky switch. Any recommendations?
I've slowly welcomed modern mechanical keyboards in my collection. Currently typing on a FLΒ·ESPORTS OG87 with their default linear switches.
I'll be swapping those out soon with a more-or-less randomly chosen tactile switch.
Makes me wonder: what do folks do with their unused switches? Keep in the drawer till it becomes e-waste? Swap with other keyboard fanatics?
Looking for some nice linears? I'm up for a trade!
Hello #MechanicalkKeyboard, I have an old and loved keyboard with cherry black switches. A few keys, most notably left ctrl, need a "warmup". They won't function out of the box, instead I have to press them intensely for a couple dozen times and then they work again.
What do I need to change/repair to get rid of this behaviour? Is it some kind of cold solder connection or a defect switch or something else? Only affects 2-3 keys, the others are fine.

New! Keychron Q3 Pro SE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard: A Review
Whilst looking at the Keychron site I found the Q3 Pro, which is a TKL keyboard that has a wheel and 4 macro keys.
It has been over a year since I bought this board and I have spent many hours typing on it I thought a review was about due for it.

When I bought my Keychron K2 in 2020 I was happy with it for a couple of years before I wondered what other options were available. During that time Keychron lunched quite a few different keyboards, including updates to the K2. The K2 I have is version 1, and whilst it is a good keyboard I was looking for a keyboard with more features and hot swappable switches so I could experiment a little.
I've got to say, Boardsource.xyz has done right by me.
I have my beloved lily58 back up and running thanks to a replacement pcb/micro-controller. Many thanks to all who gave me troubleshooting pointers. I think it was a defective micro-controller all along.
My digits are confused but happy to be back to column staggered!

Did some "cleaning" today π One nice thing of mechanical keyboards is, that you can take them apart and clean them.
This is an old keyboard that I decommisioned last year. Now it has a new place at the workshop computer in the basement and replaces a nasty rubberdome keyboard.
