[Recommend] Good Mechanical Keyboard

[purpleberry]

the ducky one 2 sf white looks good though. yeah switch wise most likely i'll prob go with a mx red switch, thought of trying out a brown one though

for those using ducky keyboard, any recommendation? i prefer the 65% layout with arrow keys.

thought of doing a black / white theme, any recommendations on pre built one? otherwise it's either a black / white board and the remaining keycaps gotta change

You can get Filco Minila if you intend to go wireless. Almost similar layout and size. But if the cable doesnt bother you this is a good choice. Another would be Keychron K6.

i am personally using Tempest Keyboard.

Kailh Box White

it is not bad. not too noisy and it is great where it can be connected with Wire or Wireless

Yes i'm intending to use wired one.

So far narrowed down to Ducky one 2 SF, either full black or white


Any idea if the black keycaps / pudding will go well with the white keyboard? Or should i go with black keyboard with white keycaps

Edit: how is anne pro 2 vs ducky 2 mini?

Just started reading through this week, and got a Tecware Phantom RGB TKL Brown and a G304 mouse for the young man to use. Upgraded from Logi K260 combo and he is very happy with it, so wondering if I should get a mechanical keyboard for my WFH as well. Looking for a wireless, with RGB and full size KB though. Looking for options to consider. Thanks.

Tecware keyboard is good. Am using one currently. The brown version.

I ordered a Razer Huntman Tournament edition with Linear Optical Reds, but not to my liking. Trying to sell it. Anyone interested?

Now I have a HyperX with Aqua on the way. I've been quite a big fan of hyperx keyboards to be honest – looking forward to trying out the Aqua switches.

Somehow missed this brand when I got my Keychron. Has anyone experienced both Keychron and Tecware?

Hi guys, looking into semi build my own keyboard,any knows any site that I can get 65% hot swappable pcb?

Ended up with the ducky one 2 mecha mini, cherry brown switches.

Absolutely love this keyboard, feels dam solid esp with the aluminum frame.

Initially wanted to get the normal mini, but glad i went with the mecha!

The cherry browns are amazing to type on, coming from mx reds

Weird because cherry browns just feel like scratchy reds to a lot of people including myself

Have you tried https://kbdfans.com/?

idk leh i feel that the cherry browns gives a little more resistance than the red? maybe also on different keyboard the typing feel might be a little diff

If they have wireless, I'd have gotten this one no doubt.

Filco has a new one but I feel a bit nervous looking at the newly designed keycaps

By resistance you mean the 'tactility' it's supposed to provide? If you wanted a heavier red you could've just got a black equivalent or swapped out the springs lol

You can go check on the force curves for each switch if you want, I think you just want more resistance higher up on the downstroke.

the mecha mini is good! do you face disconnection issues ?

like when you turn on pc and go for a bath or smth, comes back and the keyboard is somehow "not connected" as the lights not light up and the keys are not responsive ? Or maybe if you put to sleep and it happens also.

The only way i could workaround if it happens was unplug the usb c and plug it back in
