Goodday! I am looking for a wireless tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with backlighting, media controls and long range (2 meters max when using it in the living room) and I need your help picking one. So far, the only keyboards I found that met my requirements are the Logitech g915 and the razer Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro. I watched reviews for both keyboards and read several threads and articles about them but I still can't decide. On the one hand, the logitech has twice the battery of the razer and can still maintain its wireless capabilities even when it's charging which would make it the only choice for me but from what I hear the keycaps are the worst and not even close to the quality standards you should expect from a 200€ keyboard. There are cases of keycaps breaking or even the letters fading out over time cause of the awful paint they used. Worst part is that it's extremely difficult to find replacement keycaps... Is the razer a better choice in my case even though the battery is smaller and it cannot be used wireless when it's charging? I am also open to suggestions so if you have something else to recommend I would be happy to hear it! Thank you in advanced, Kostas

Youtube suggested me a video for keyboard. I think this is a very cool keyboard.

Hi everyone! My name is Dylan! I purchased a GMMK Pro TKL barebones set from Microcenter a little under 2 months ago and built myself a custom board! I wasn't planning on making the purchase, but a friend and I had planned our first trip to Microcenter after seeing everyone rave online at how crazy their store was. We made the trip just a few days before my birthday, and they only had a single ice white gmmk pro and a single polycarbonate plate in stock. I took it as a sign and bought them. (For anyone who cares, I have the ice white barebones with a polycarbonate plate, durock v2 stabs, and nk creams switches! keycaps are an inexpensive set of dye-sub PBT caps but I want to upgrade to a nicer set soon!) I had some issues right out of the box where some switches (b, v, and ?) really struggle to register when pushed. In the beginning, I'd say 65-70% of the time it would register. Now, the keys listed above and a few others REALLY struggle to register their key press. At this point in time, I have to press the "b" either 10 times or, or press it extremely hard to get it to register. I don't know everything, but I have enough keyword knowledge that I was confident I could figure it out! First, I swapped switches. Figured that was the easiest option! All switches I put in each socket appeared to have intact pins, and I even tried different types of switches. No luck Next, I tried reinstalling all the software for the board. Despite the frustrating software, I managed to reset the board internally and reinstall the current version of the software. No luck. At this point, I had tried about all I could without taking the board apart. It was time. I disassembled the board and took a good look at the pcb. From the beginning I had suspected the soldering on the hotswap sockets to be loose. Maybe I didn't notice when building the board and when putting in switches I popped them out? No. The PCB looks perfect! Not a hair of solder out of line. This is where I turned to Glorious for help. I explained my situation and they had me run through a few more troubleshooting steps before accepting defeat. Their original response to me was to contact Microcenter for the return due to my purchase being from them. Understandable. Because I was contacting Microcenter after their 30 day return policy, it was explained to me that my only option was to drive to the location I bought the product at (not very close to my apartment) and attempt to convince the working store manager to allow me to make the return. I don't know about yall, but driving over 90 minutes to convince someone I received a defective product was not something I was looking forward to. Luckily, Glorious was kind enough to honor their warranty after I explained my frustrating interaction with Microcenter. At this point (sorry i know you've been reading my life story) I am being sent a replacement board. However, I don't want this one to go to waste! I will be reusing stabs, switches, keycaps... but the barebones kit is rendered useless due to the partly broken PCB. I have contemplated a few options to attempt to give it some life... I could do and resolder the hotswap sockets to see if that fixes the switches... would that be worth purchasing a soldering iron to attempt to do? If that does not work, is anyone aware of an aftermarket pcb I can buy that will be close to the size of the one for the GMMK pro? This TKL layout has some offsetting for media keys and arrow keys so it's definitely not a standard size! Glorious does not sell their PCB alone, and told me the warranty would be voided if I attempted to solder. I have a friend who would be so grateful to receive this currently faulty board if I can spend some time and money to get it to work! Any suggestions would be WONDERFUL! Thanks!

I have a Dell laptop i bought for a cheap, there's no issue with the keyboard in itself but there's a strange problem with its behavior. Sometimes when i type on it, it works fine, it translated and shows what i pressed correctly. But then it doesn't and shows random gibberish (see picture) I thought it was a virus so i did a fresh install but the problem still persist. I also tried a USB keyboard but it behave the same way. Tried keyboard test app too and there's no issue with it like stuck/shorted keys. Tried messing with the keyboard settings e.g language, layout, etc still nothing What could be the problem? Thank you in advance.

Hi there, i want to get a Mechanical keyboard for my MacBook. I just don’t know what the best one for me is. I want it to have the apple keys I.e. command key. My currency is aud. can I have some recommendations.

Hi everyone, Looking for advice & suggestion for my wife's home office, where we wish to add her own PC to supplement her work laptop. Usage will be casual so MSOffice, browsing and maybe some light gaming like What Remains of Edith Finch (so no 3D intense FPS yada yada ). Looking at a NUC-format for cosmetic reasons. Current setup: Samsung CH890 Monitor Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop She just gets home, uses the USB-C cable from the monitor and voila: power & display. The kb/m just reconnect. The goal is giver her simplicity without adding cables and gear as much as we can avoid it. So I was thinking to keep the USB-C for the laptop, using the DisplayPort for the new PC. The kb/m kit we can replace as it's not "multi-device" and re-pairing is annoying. Was thinking a MS or Logitech kit with it's own adapter for both, connected to the back of the monitor, and when she powers one device on it takes over the peripherals. Any blind spots in this gameplan? Any better ideas? Trying to avoid a KVM switch if I can really. Thanks!

My laptop's keyboard has been acting up for a while now. Some of the keys don't work. I've tried cleaning the keyboard and needed clarification on whether it's a software or hardware issue.

Hey all, so I just wanted to ask a quick question about peripheral power on startup. Usually when the Windows login page loads, my peripherals immediately power on and are ready to go. Now, it takes something like 20-30 seconds for them to power on at that point. Could this be an issue with the PSU being insufficient or aging? A BIOS setting? I recently upgraded my cpu and changed some settings, but this issue didn't start until recently and that was over a month ago. I couldn't find any other posts about something this specific, so hopefully someone has some wisdom to share here. Thank you. Specs: OS: Windows 10 Pro v.22H2 build 19045.2728 PSU: Aresgame AGV650 650W 80+ Bronze (installed Oct. 2021) CPU: i7 11700k w/ 92mm air cooler GPU: Zotac OC 3060 12gb (Afterburner & ReBAR on) Mobo: Asus Prime Z590M-PLUS bios v. 0820 x64 RAM: 8x2GB TeamGroup T-Force Dark Z 3600MHz (4000 MHz oc) One SATA ssd, two NVMe drives 6 case fans Let me know if you need more information

Hi all, I was wondering about something. I played the Insomniac's Spiderman remastered on Pc using keyboard and mouse and also using controller. I was more comfortable using kb/mouse as i mostly play pc games using kb/mouse. What i want to know is if i play spiderman (or any other games) on ps5 using keyboard and mouse, will my experience be the same? The keys layout will be the same as pc ones or you have to set the keys yourself in each game?

Hello all! I am looking for a wireless keyboard that I can bring with me to the office and not interrupt my colleagues My parameters are: quiet, mechanical, wireless (bluetooth+2.4 would be the best), type-c charging, 100% (optional) and up to 150$~. Thank you so much!

I have an idea for a LTT Mechanical keyboard, but if you make it it should be definetely RGB, and maybe in some time you can also make an RGB mousepad.

I've recently got another model M, this time an ISO one the adapter i got along with it is a cheap chinese one with some problems: - holding one key and pressing+releasing another key while still holding the first key, makes the first key get picked up as released as well - the ISO key between shift and z does not work i don't have a PS/2 to usb adapter because i used native PS/2 until recently, all 'good' and recommended adapters floating around, being praised on the internet (including the 'blue cube' and others) are impossible to find since they aren't produced anymore i need a new adapter that supports the extra ISO key, does NOT have 1-key-overroll issues that make it impossible to play any type of keyboard-controlled video game, supports hot swapping, (and has a low latency if possible). recommend me something you can buy on amazon or ebay that ships to germany, thanks for answers! oh yeah i almost forgot, (i think) i need an actual converter and not just a dumb adapter with wires and plastic inside it, since my model M's controller doesn't support usb.

Hello everybody, I am facing a weird issue. There is this work laptop that I am trying to repair, it has been acting weird for some time now. My colleague recently reported that her NumPad isn't working properly and when I went over to check I found out that her keys "2", "5" and "8" are doing more than they should. Her 8 key is increasing her monitors brightness, along side inputing a random string of numbers, letters and symbols that IS NOT in way related to her password. I thought it was some sort of a virus, since she is downloading a lot of files from all kinds of places. Microsoft Defend doesn't come up with any bad files even after a full scan and today I even reinstalled the Windows, yet the keyboard is still acting the same way. Even more curious is that if you hold down one of the three broken keys the end result is different. Number 8 (again) turns off NumPad if you hold it down for a bit. Number 2 changes the string it inputs. So far I have tried: Looking for viruses and malware- nothing. Checking for windows updates- nothing. Checking/changing drivers- nothing. Turning sticky keys on/off- nothing. Connecting another keyboard- works without an issue. Reinstalling Windows- nothing. At this point I am running out of ideas, thinking it might be a physically broken keyboard. Is this really an option with how the NumPad is working, especially since everything else is working just as it should and according to my co-worker the NumPad stared acting this way out of the blue. Thank you for your time!

I’ve just ordered a new keyboard with a 1000hz polling rate. It comes with a usb-c cable and I don’t have that capability with my current setup. I was looking at getting a pci express card this one, rather than buying a new motherboard which also means I will need a new cpu so that is not an option for me currently. Will the pci-e card be sufficient for the polling rate of my keyboard, or will the pci-e extension bottleneck the data transfer?

Hey, I observed that my keyboard's RGB is showing a weird green color in few parts and i don't know the reason why. Can somebody help me with this please.... ef0158af-d6ae-4ec2-9747-92e90681298c.jfif

Hello, so I'm looking for a new hopefully low latency RGB keyboard that cost less than 80$. Would like it to be a TKL, but I'm willing to go with a standard if the price and performance are better. Mainly looking at Amazon, specifically the German site, don't live in Germany but my local retailers have very long delivery times and often bad pricing. One option that I almost was ready to buy was SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL, but then I realized it has quite bad latency. Another keyboard I was looking at was Logitech G213 Prodigy, but a lot of reviewers say it has bad build quality. Specs that I want: Wired Low latency (From what I understand anything around and below 40-60 ms) RGB TKL Also maybe some tips on a good mouse? So far I've chosen Logitech G203 Lightsync RGB, since its on sale and goes for 27Euro on German Amazon. The specs on it seem good? Mouse link: Logitech G203 gaming mouse with adjustable LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, six programmable buttons, games Ruggedized sensor scanning with 8000 dpi, Lightweight, Black: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories Thank You!

WIth some laser equipment I really use to repair phones I wanted to try to engrave som custom stuff, made a custom spacebar for my brother, and actually really liked the result. If it was double-shot the RGB would also shine through but this was just what I had laying oruound. Was thinkinking maybe this is something people might want to buy? Considering making a service doing it, y'all think theres a market?

Hey all. I just build my first PC with the help of people on this forum. I am now looking for a mechanical keyboard. I am currently using a friend's Corsair K95 Platinum with MX Cherry Brown switches. I love the sound and feel of the switches, however the size of the keyboard doesn't work for me. It is a full size keyboard. I am constantly mistyping on this keyboard because the key locations are slightly shifted from where I am used to them being on my laptop keyboard. After googling around I'm pretty sure I'm looking for an 1800 size keyboard. I absolutely LOVE the size and layout of my laptop keyboard (ROG GU501GM photo attached). It is 13.5 inches across, with at typing area (caps lock to enter) of 10.9 inches. The specific things I like about it revolve around the numpad: the large enter key, large zero key, and arrow keys that don't overlap with the numpad. I am looking for a keyboard that has all, or most of these features. I will list features in order of importance below. Essential: Size similar to my laptop keyboard. Large enter key on numpad. Keys light up so I can see them in the dark. F key row. Really really want: Large zero key on numpad. Arrows keys don't overlap with numpad. MX Cherry Brown or similar switches. Would be cool to have but not essential: Volume controls. Cool RGB effects. Wired, not wireless. I haven't been able to find anything that has all the features I am looking for. My budget is around $100, but I am willing to go up to $150 if it is a keyboard with everything I am looking for. I would prefer to not build my own keyboard, but if it helps keep it within my budget, I am willing to do so. Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone, now I'm using this mechanical keyboard, but it's not hot swappable. I want to replace my switchs but the only switchs available in my country is redragon a113 but it's labeled as hot swappable switches. I'm unsure if I can use these switchs , can anyone help me?

Budget (including currency): 50$ Country: India Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GAMNIG and texting Other details. Could you recommend a hot swap keyboard(anything lesser than 75%) with a nice set of cheap keycaps and switches which are quite (and preferably "thocky-").

theres a piece of trash inside of my "Y" key, is there a way to get it out or am i stuck with it forever? (im using a G512 SE)

THIS SHIT IS NUTS Their video

I need a tablet for school and I am thinking of getting a ipad 9th gen with a logitech slim folio with the logitech crayon pen. what do you guys think of it

Basically, I was browsing through some online stores, and I came across a keyboard called "Next KD1". The keyboard looked cheap, but had all needed components for a working keyboard. The price of the keyboard is the crazy part, since it only costs about 1 USD. Although, I'm kind of speculative when it comes to extremely cheap items that have little to no traction on the Internet. I could only find ONE singular video about the keyboard, which is published on YouTube. I want to buy this keyboard and check it out, but is there anything I should be aware of? Any answers are appreciated Edit: I should've already stated this in the information I gave above, but I'm not buying this to be my main keyboard, since I already have a much better one. Some of the reasons that make me want to buy this is maybe to use it when I do not have access to my main keyboard, I can use it without caring much about damaging it, and also some other reasons. The reason I made this post is to find out if there's anything I should worry about if buying it, like malware for example.
