[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[nez]

Used 3rd party to remap keys not sure about volume knob, as the default function is already very practical for me, vol up and down, pause and play.

Switches light and board backlight can be toggle on off individually with limited color pattern/ options. Usually I turn both off.

You might want to check keychron V1 too which should be fully programmable with QMK.

Thanks for the reply.
As for keychron V1 does not come with knob.
Anyway, it is more ex for keychron right? So wanted to try something similar to GMK pro, wireless and cheaper.

There's knob ver, mash site for reference, i think you can get it cheaper on shopee and lazada.

Iirc QMK doesn't support wireless, not actually sure why, that's also the main reason keychron gave why QMK doesn't support K2

Did you swap out the switches in your mouse too?

Stock switch, but if the switch happens to spoilt probably will try to rip the guts out and try soldering another switch.

Im using G903... so im sort of expecting one day the switches will GG too. I replaced the stock switches on the G903 before.

Honestly, if you want blink, should consider hyper X pudding keycaps.

Akko clear keycaps doesn't diffuse the light, so it will just be a bright spot shooting out from the north/south part of the switches.

went a bit crazy and bought the IK 75 pro with the silicon muffler pad, Gatheron North Pole switches, Iceberg clear key caps....now happily blinded myself with RGB..... maybe spent a little bit too much, but pretty much scratched that keyboard itch now.....

how much you spent all in? I hope it's not more than Qk65

IK65 pro is cheap... The Gatheron North Pole is a bit expensive. Was considering the cheaper womier W68 for the blink blink but IK65 got the dial...

Looking for a 1800 wireless keyboard to use in office, I use laptop keyboard in office, very cui.
Prefer brown switch because don't want so noisy.

Currently see SG only got Keychron K4V2. Is it good enough to start out?

Akko 3098b, keychron k series stock keycaps are very bad in terms of quality, very fast will starts to peel.

Old school's favourite

non-wireless, you easily remap the keys, but not really budget.

Slightly cheaper 1800 board that I'm trying to find.

I think 75 just nice

Thanks! What about royal kludge rk98?

Also, where can I test out the akko keyboard?

Not sure about rk98.
Probably can call mash or mecha store, if their retail has akko kb for testing. Not sure what other kb shops are there in sg.
