Keyboard recommendation/deals?

[yusoffb01]

I bought the tecware phantom keyboard after hearing all the good reviews and feedback about it. It is a good keyboard but one thing I don’t really like about it is that the area of the keys are small. Sometimes during typing, there is the tendency to press a few keys at once. Over time this issue just makes me more frustrated. Any keyboard recommendations with large area keys? (I previously used an ASUS gaming laptop before switching to this keyboard. ASUS laptop keyboard keys have large area)

get used to it

Try using SA profile keycaps. IIRC Phantom's using DSA profile as with pretty much any mainstream mech keeb.

I’ll take a look at them. Thanks for the recommendation. I think ultimately have to go and try a keyboard before purchasing one. Shouldn’t just buy based on reviews.

get used to it

Yeah, seems like it’s the only way to go. Am trying to get used to it actually.

My Blackwidow 2014 is dying and I need a replacement... Is there mechanical keyboard <100 that is good? Or any keyboard that goes on sale for a good price often?

you can also try Motospeed brand, there are using Otemu switches as well. RGB bling bling summore but I just off it.

I have the blue switch version which I bought from shopee for around $50+. I think they have red, brown and blue just be careful not to buy the wrong version as they have 'mechanical feel' membrane keyboard as well but the price is much cheaper.

Took a couple of weeks to arrive from China (free delivery).

Also I think you can't go wrong with Tecware Phantom which uses the same Otemu switch as well. Built quality Tecware just a bit better than Motospeed in my opinion and is currently my daily driver.

Armageddon I dunno, I only used Tecware and Motospeed before.

From their website, seems to be Outemu as well. They also have those rubber dome types so better to make sure the model and ask the seller etc.

Nah, the Tecware Phantom TKL can accept any MX compatible switches (make sure they're plate mounted. If PCB, convert by snipping the two legs off). That includes, Kailh, Gaterons, Cherries, Zealios and more.

can donate ur old mech to me ma

 

[K|muRa^84]

been using the Tecware brown at home and really like it alot

are there any alternatives for office use? Need it to be quieter than Tecware Brown. Will the Red switches be significantly quieter?

Thanks...

 

[Outramkia]

If silence is priority go for scissor switch keyboards

I don't think that there is a mechanical keyboard quiet enough for office use.

mechanical keyboards nice.

Phantom is not using DSA profile, more like CHerry or OEM profile.


I don't think there is that many mainstream keyb that use DSA. I only know Vortex Race 3.
