Let's talk Mechanical Keyboards

Hey all! ive been getting a little more into gaming, as a way to interact with my IRL friends. I just got a razer viper mini, and am looking to get a premade keyboard. My filters would be, Red/brown mechanical switches, under 75$, 60% or TKL, and preferably on amazon. I would prefer hot-swappable, but its not a deal-breaker if it is an amazing keyboard. Any recommendations? Thanks! :slight_smile:
EDIT: ive been looking at these:




The gmmk compact is good with the case being half metal, but it’s a little over your price range at 110 dollars. I just got my white ice edition in today, and it looks pretty good. Comes preinstalled with gateron browns. The build quality is really good, the only problem I have is the software. It’s a little weird to manage. Has a bunch of different lighting effects to. It’s also hotswappable.

Looks pretty good with my glorious model o. The lightning is also a lot more vibrant, the camera just does not pick it up.

My external numpad finally arrived. Now I don’t feel like I’m missing a limb anymore.

I understand. I’ll have like only 30 grades to enter, but I’ll wait to do it until I’m at a keyboard with a numpad.

For any fans of Massdrop’s SA Dasher/Dancer keycap sets I have great news. Drop.com is planning to drop MT3 Dasher/Dancer in time for Christmas! :fire:

No specific date as of yet. Last thing I was told (two days ago) was “Looking to launch ASAP”.

Wow, I didn’t know that existed so many types of KB, I did know about mechanical KB though, actually, I got one just to play Worms Armageddon (99 PC edition) for pro-roping purposes… That ghost key was killing my SKILLZZ ahhahahaha.

If you want to see some unique ones, the OLKB Planck is pretty cool!

Quite a lot, yes! They are quiet and don’t chatter like the last ones did.

I wonder how they compare to Kailh silent switches. I am currently typing on Kailh Silent Browns.

I have no idea lol

I particularly like that these have the top rubber bumpers to dampen the upstroke.

New to the forum, was sent here from the intro thread. Currently rocking these boards as my two daily drivers:

Melgeek Z70 Ultra; Cherry MX Clear RGB, BOB PBT dyesubbed Cherry profile, aluminum Switch handle artisan keycap.

The latest thing I’m into is stock, basic linear switches. My typing speed increased significantly with Gateron yellows and my fatigue dropped. I’m very much a part of the linear gang now.

Here’s what I have been using at work: A Keychron K6 with stock Gateron Yellows (milky top) and MT3 Dasher keycaps.
