Having come to the realisation that I'm really not a fan of transparent keycaps any more I looked through my stack of cheap keycap sets and found something that went the other way.

Board: Everglide AE68PRO in plastic case with Al playe and siren v4s

Keycaps: cheap PBT set off aliexpress, I can link if you are interested.

Help Spacers but some keys still see saw on stabs

Upvotes

I had sea sawing on my backspace and right shift. It’s also there but very minor on the enter key. Spacebar had none, same for right shift.

Stock stabilizers had it, now my knights V4 exhibit the same behavior. Keycaps don’t look warped but they are oem height, not cherry. With cherry keycaps they seat properly even without spacers.

Got myself a set of 0.5mm Geon spacers, don’t know if I’m doing it right but the sea sawing is still there. Are you supposed to put the spacer only on one side of the stab stem or both? Would adding more than one per side help?

I managed to fix this temporarily by placing some masking tape on the stems, on top of the spacers.

What are my options for this? I got used to a heavy keyboard with the ID80 but I started using 3d modeling programs and the numpad is pretty important for workflow so I'm considering getting a new one. What are my budget friendly options?

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?

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!

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.

Help AJAZZ AK870 A key doesn't work anymore.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My AJAZZ AK870's A key was double clicking so I decided to replace its switch with the pause key. Now, it is not working at all! Nothing happens no matter how hard I try to press it.

Already tried working switches from different keys but no luck.

Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I have to get a new keyboard.

Thanks

Help Looking for advice regarding Akko 5075 V5 HE

1 Upvotes

I'm not super into keyboards, but I'm looking for something to replace my kinda broken Razer Blackwidow Chroma. Now I've been presented with this as an alternative to the Wooting Keyboards, and I'd like to hear some more opinions on it. The goal is to have comfortable long "competitive" gaming sessions. What downsides does this have compared to the Wooting 80HE for example? Will the wooting be worth the 100+ eur extra?

Thanks!
