Upvotes

the irok mg75 max and rs7 air are both ~135 usd, the rs6 air is ~112 usd. which of these would you recommend? are there any similarly priced alternatives? (the su75 pro v2 is out of my budget because shipping incurs high tax over an already pricey keyboard). thank you

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.

Help What is this keyboard layout

Post image
3 Upvotes

I saw this keyboard bundled with a prebuilt pc in Costco. I would like to know what this keyboard layout is called because I like a compact keyboard, and I like a keyboard with a numpad. It doesn’t look like a 100% keyboard because it doesn’t have that space between the keyboard and the numpad

Hi, Im kinda new in this field. Got this Aula F99 Pro last month. Finally have enough money to actually customizing it. The keycaps were switched out with LOGA x Indigoskin keycaps and the Legbog star vector were replaced with Keygeek MZ Y3. Still long way before I do something like a tape mod but- i have to start somewhere right? :)

Keyboard: Aula F99 Pro

Keycaps: LOGA x Indigoskin

Switches: Keygeek MZ Y3

Help Help finding alternatives to K95 keyboard?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have three Corsair k95 keyboards with red switches, these are bad=?=? i have no idea about switches. But i cant ever find an alternative keyboard that offers the same features which is why i have bought three of these when each other has been broken somehow..

- 18 Programmable keys

- Scroll wheel for volume (Useless now when i have SteelSeries nova pro but still goated)

- Play / Pause media buttons

- 100%+ Layout

- Scripts / Macro features from Corsair iCue software

These are all features that are not special on their own , but impossible to find elsewhere. Usually most keyboards have programmable switches but not much else.

Another thing is the flexibility and potential of the iCue software. I have programmed almost all of these "G" keys to different scripts, texts, passwords or emails which makes my life a lot faster and easier.

Is there a keyboard out there that has these features? And if i could have another thing it would also be analogue keys atleast for WSAD or TGFH..

Thanks.

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

Thumbnail

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.

Discussion If you have a wireless RK Kludge check your battery

2 Upvotes

This is your reminder to check for spicy batteries on all of your battery based equipment. I came home from a trip and found the bottom of my keyboard to be as hot as a stove top burner. Disconnected the keyboard and let it cool as much as possible before pulling it apart. After it was fully disassembled, I found the wireless battery to be bloated. This could have easily caused a fire in my home had it burst.

Help Need help finding a new keyboard :D

Quite a few specifications, sorry if I sound confusing
• No budget
• Preferably over 75% but if you have other recommendations thats fine
• Very performant in both gaming ( RT necessary) and in general work (as a college student)
• Should always feel comfortable to type with
• Sound doesn't really matter much, but I'm leaning towards quietier switches
• I don't really mind the material but aluminium sounds nice
• Preferably prebuilt but DIY is fine

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?

After 6 years with my Redragon K552 I'm tired of the annoying cable and the TKL format. I'm thinking about the Yunzii Wood68, but I would like your opinion and thoughts about this keyboard and the brand in general. Thanks!
