System76 Launch Heavy Keyboard Review - dominickm.com

I recently picked up the new Launch Heavy keyboard from System76, opting for the brown switches, and after some time to put it through its paces am happy to report back. Most importantly, the key travel feels great. There’s a satisfying depth here that makes long typing sessions feel deliberate without being fatiguing. If you’re […]

Keyboard 3 of 3 arrived today. Same exact model as the other two - DROP ENTR TKL - but this one is olive. Boosted the color a little in this photo since it’s a bit difficult to tell. It’s my only olive board and now I’m going to see which keycap set might match that. Possibly my marshmallow XDA set? #Mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys

I am looking for a low profile mechanical keyboard with either red silent, clear, or silver style switches. If it resembles apples keyboard its a plus. #mechanicalkeyboards

It is for my wife and she has the following requirements also: NO weird split thing like yours! I want all the keys numpad can be exclude, not compact, and I don't want a weird layout! The last thing I am interpreting like she want ISO layout.

These Drop ENTR TKL keyboards were $29 a day or two ago. Excellent value. Okay, older keyboards, older stabs, switches not hotswappable, but 2lb anodized aluminum case, white backlighting and great quality for the time. White/silver, black and olive. OOS now, understandably, buuuut... I *may* have purchased one or more of them.. #mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys https://drop.com/buy/drop-entr-mechanical-keyboard

Where did all the keyboard kits go?

Where did all the keyboard kits go? - Lemmy

I took a break from mechanical keyboards because I had a keyboard I was happy with. Now I need another for a second desk and it seems like all the keyboards people recommend now are fully pre-built. This doesn’t make sense to me, I really like the ability to chose my switches and keycaps (especially my keycaps). I don’t see why you would get a keyboard that already has these when the first thing your going to do is replace them.

Keychron K3 Version 2, 84 Keys Ultra-Slim Wireless Bluetooth/USB Wired Mechanical Keyboard with White LED Backlit, Low-Profile Keychron Mechanical Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows

Currently $58.64 at Amazon, normally $84.99.

I don't have any low-profile keyboards (besides my laptops). Strongly considering getting this just because. Actually I do have a shitty SIIG one from years ago, but this is a Keek. And I'm a Keek Geek! #mechanicalkeyboard #mechanicalkeyboards #mechkeys

Can you spot the keyboard? Oh that's right, its Bus 001 Device 027, the Microdia Vivitar Vivicam3350B from 20 years ago. I, too, often get old digital cameras and new mechanical keyboards mixed up.

Finally tore down my 12x5 ortho keyboard and figured out why the 'a' key was not cooperating. For some reason, there seemed to be some debris around that key's solder joints. As counterintuitive as this sounds for a circuit board, I wiggled it ever so slightly, cleaned out whatever dust was there, and now it's back making contact - yay!

Now I get to re-train my muscle memory *back* to this keyboard from my 12x4 layout, which is missing a whole number row. Even the arrow keys have a different layout, so that's gonna be fun.

🚨 New Video: I Ditched Razer for a 4-Year-Old Keyboard (And You Should Too)

Stop buying products designed to fail. After four years on the market, the Keychron Q1 proves that hardware should be a tool you own, not a disposable product you rent. In this video, I break down why I scrapped my Razer Huntsman Elite, a $200 piece of planned obsolescence, for a heavy, modular, and open-source aluminum chassis.

We dive into the hardware, the hot-swappable switches, QMK/VIA open-source firmware, and the three questions every piece of tech must answer before it earns a spot on my desk.

Is it repairable?
Is it modular?
Is it sovereign?
