Help with finding keyboards

Gannam · December 15, 2021

Been researching this for a bit now, wanted some other insights into which yall would recommend.

Atm using a Logitech G910 Orion that I got on sale a few months ago, it's OK. The shape of the keycaps I happen to like, but they really don't make much of a difference, keycap wise they don't stand out either.

Got a bit of money saved up for a upgrade,

primarily looking for a keyboard that's pretty easy to clean, not alot of small angles like the logitech one that stuff gets into.

100% size or at least having dedicated media controls,

past that just don't want one of those cramped 96% that shrink normally bigger keys like right shift.

Switches wise, as long as they are not super loud like blues or short travel like silvers they are fine.

extra macro keys are a bonus but not needed.

rgb couldn't care less if they have them or dont.

Planning on buying a wrist rest if the keyboard doesn't come with one.

A plus would also having a decent app or built in memory that works in linux, another reason I'm not wanting logitech keyboards anymore.

A few that I liked.

Max keyboard, the 105 key version, idc much about the custom print and price, but it did look high quality and a option for a wrist rest. The options for switches was pretty small though.

Keychron k10 being wireless is dope, looks good, the optional wrist rest looks really really bad and uncomfortable

Kbdfans looked like a fun diy, but didn't see any 100%, closest would be a tkl with a extra keypad.

Hi,

If it comes to your expectations I would look onto those keyboards. The switch quality is her excellent:

You know how clicky the "KAILH WHITE BOX" would be? I'm assuming I'd be looking at getting the browns, but if the white ones click is pretty mellow I wouldn't mind

They do look pretty clean. Not sure how standard those keycaps would be to swap later, kailh I haven't really touched, all I know about them is that they are a bit cheaper for replacements and don't have those fancy gold plated contacts
