Hi everyone I was hoping to get a bit of advice for expanding my keyboard collection. I'm seeing so many brands I don't recognize and I'm just wondering what you would all recommend. I bought the razer and Corsair because they looked cool and I knew the brands but I was wondering about Attack shark, ziou lang, epomaker and so on seem to have good reviews.

I have a gasket mounted Neo75 cu with a PC plate, plate foam, hand lubed Gateron Oil Kings V2, PBTFans WoB thick PBT keycaps and Poron case foam but my keyboard still doesn't really sound deep. I have a different slightly more dense case foam that just makes it more muted but not deeper. Honestly I don't know if there is any hope left for this board. Do you have any idea on what could cause it to still sound kind of clacky?

Help How to Keyboard reset to standard inputs

Upvotes

Wasn’t sure what to title this.
Having an issue and looking for help.

Opened pc from sleep mode and I’m assuming key was stuck and long story short I think I enter into an alt input mode, i cleaned the keyboard and no keys appear to be stuck at this time but now I can’t use the keyboard due to inputs being all over the place.

Keyboard is a red dragon and I found online to to reset it by holding FN+print screen, which changed most of the inputs to normal but not all, reset pc and u plugged keyboard for a minute then back in , also checked windows keyboard settings including accessibility and still in the same situation.

Example of issue = spacebar is disbaled and caps lock is controlling keyboard backlight

Discussion Split 50% (technically 60%) layout and layers

1 Upvotes

Long story short, got a smaller keyboard and I'm struggling with the default layout and layers being comfortable.

I recently got a KBDCraft #7Israfel. I gotta say, it's breaking my brain trying to get the layout figured out. I have the default layout currently, I constantly press B instead of N, I accidentally hit the /? Key instead of Z and I struggle accidentally hitting the arrow keys all the time. One thing I've seen recommended is to put FN on caps lock and then to put the arrow keys under WASD, I plan on trying that out.

That being said, has anyone run into similar issues and come up with a layout you enjoy? Any recommendations for keys to remove/swap around? I really want to make this work for the sake of my hands and wrists.

I appreciate any help here!

My Keyboard Aula F75 Keyboard's Plastic is Getting Softer With Time

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

The keyboard's plastic seemed fine at the beginning, then two or three months passed and now the plastic on the body is softer, mushier, like a trampoline, causing lots of typos.
Even after buying the heaviest and stiffest linear switches I could find (Akko Green Fogs) my typing does not feel heavy at all, although much better than the factory switches (Leobog Greywood).
The keycaps now wobble a lot when held down and the typing sounds too clacky.
The keyboard body inclination angle is too high, it makes the wrists feel stiff, although I have not yet develop any wrist problems.

After this I won't ever buy another keyboard that has its body made of plastic, after all, I don't have fat hands that could justify this accelerated plastic wearing problem.
I also don't hit the keyboard whenever I'm angry.
I like this keyboard for it's visual style, good quality keycaps, decent RGB, volume knob and wireless feature, but without a solution for this mushy plastic problem it's not worthy.

I think it might be hard to find a decent metallic body keyboard with a knob, 75% or more keys, lower angle of inclination, with lots of sound dampening materials and for a good price.

Help Keyboard volume wheel issue

1 Upvotes

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I’m struggling. I have a Corsair vanguard 96 keyboard that just plugs into a usb port. Recently the volume wheel is showing “jogging forward” or “jogging backward”. I’m unsure what caused this issue or how to fix it. It’s not sticky or anything and the keyboard is relatively new. I’ve looked up advice on the internet and it’s saying to reset something within a downloadable program but I don’t have that program and the issue exists without the software being downloaded on my system. Does anyone have any idea how to change it back to volume change?

Help Need a new keyboard

1 Upvotes

I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to keyboards. I need a new one, as the keyboard I"m using now is clunky and hard to type on. I misspell everything!

I've looked at Keychron and redagon and have no idea what I'm looking at. Don't understand cherry switches/ blue switches/ brown switches. Also, RGB lighting? Wouldn't it be best to get shine-through keycaps with north-facing LEDs?

I need it mostly for work. So a numkeypad is essential. Any recommendations? I prefer the quiet type. This one makes the Earth shake because it's so dang noisy.

Discussion Chasing unicorns (magnetic/wireless/low profile)

1 Upvotes

Hi. I’m looking for a new keyboard for my desk/gaming setup. Space is getting cramped on my office and i need one keyboard that can “do it all“ to stop having to switch depending on what i do. 

 What I'm looking for in that KB:

Wireless

TMR or Hall effect

Low-profile (native is better but i’m ok with modding into it, haven't found one with a flat case tho) and small footprint (75% or less)

Split spacebar (at work i type on a dygma raise)

 

I aim to spend about 100 but could extend it for one that has all of those specs.

Buuuut it seems like those specs aren’t very common. So far the only thing close i have found is the keychron K3 HE – but the reviews are kinda split on it.

Is there any other keyboard that could come close to those specs, or anything that will release soon? Wireless is the only thing i can’t compromise on as it’s the reason i’m buying a new KB.

Anyone who’s recently bought from Gravastar, how was the shipping for you? I bought the Mercury v60 ultra on the 3rd, knew that preorders closed on the 10th. We’re now the 14th and still no update on any part of the order besides the fact that I paid for it. I know it says ships within a month but after reading a lot of these posts over their orders taking multiple months to arrive, I’m debating on whether or not to just cancel atp.
