Looks like I might have to retire my wasd keyboard v2 (cherry mx clears) which has been my main input device for the last 12-13 years. Been trying to hold on as I prefer a full keyboard with numpad/media keys/etc and the current 60%/65% mechanical fad I just don't understand how anyone is programming missing the other 40%?! Need as many keys as I can get. Found this thread https://discourse.codinghorror.com/t/what-happened-to-wasd-keyboards/10143/18 which lead to https://cliffle.com/widget/recode but sadly not compatible and unfortunately I have two. Probably could try hacking something together and getting QMK on it but there are a couple of other creature comforts I'd like, wireless, bluetooth, hotswap, single key combos, haptic feedback, tap dancing, etc. Is my only choice to build my own?
FWIW: Please don't tell me about modifying layouts via x11/wayland. I know, it doesn't work uniformly and never has and never will; i'd like to do any layout modding via firmware, so at least QMK.

Thank you to @hyde for putting together this OverRated/UnderRated post.
They presented me with a few topics for me to give my thoughts on if they were overrated or underrated, and then they too replied and gave their thoughts on those same topics. Such a fun little post to participate in.
Check it out via the link below and let me know what you think!

I just found out about KeyCon, a mechanical keyboard convention happening in DC tomorrow.
https://www.pennsocialdc.com/event-details/keycon-2025
I would 100% be there if it weren't for the ridiculous birthday parade clusterf*cking up the city. They picked the wrong day for this thing.

Quite the rare item on eBay right now: an early Amiga 2000 dealer demo unit (unserialed, apparently only 200 of these were made) featuring the fabled Amiga keyboard with Cherry MX keyswitches and red 'A'miga keys.
I first heard about these many years ago, but have never seen one pass through.

I just got my second #AlohaKB #keycap set, and put it on my Ducky One 2 #Keyboard.
Both looks quite excellent wouldn't you say.
The lower one is the new set, the upper keyboard is the one I currently use.
For your reference the top keyboard has the Trailblazer set, the bottom one has the Biotech set.
Both keyboards are Ducky One 2 boards, but came with different keycaps, both use the #CherryMX Blue Switches.
I am looking to get one or two spare Ducky One Three keyboards with hot swap switches so I can test others easy.

Anyone have experience with Gateron switches, specifically in regards to longevity? I've had an Anne Pro 2 with Gateron Reds for the last ~2 years (bought it used, though it appeared to be very well cared for) and have had multiple occasions where I sit at my computer in the morning, and a new switch starts acting up (occasionally chattering, but more recently, requiring a lot of force to actuate). Last week, it was right shift, and today it's H. I usually just tap the shit out of it 'til it starts behaving again, but my previous keyboard, an iKBC Poker 2 with Cherry Reds, never had these kinds of issues, and I used and abused that thing non-stop for several years straight, and would still be using and abusing it if the micro-USB port didn't rip clean off the PCB along with all it's pads. I never had any kind of issues with actuation or chattering on that board.
I think it might be right about time that I give repairing my Poker 2 another go. I would replace it with another Poker 2 if I could find one with MX Reds for a reasonable price, but I mostly see them with MX Browns (blech).

My finely tuned Corsair K63 keyboard died. It only lasted me 3 years. Modern things are short lived. I search and search and find no replacement. It has to be by Amazon, layout ISO_UK, TKL and with Cherry MX keys.I've gone for one that I'm not too convinced, see how it goes.

Looking to replace my #mechanicalKeyboard after nearly five years with a #Filco #Majestouch 2 with #CherryMX brown switches.
The keyboard is great, and while wear has made many keys blank and a liquid spill has made one key stick I probably don't really need to replace it completely.
But I'd like to change the switches to make typing easier on my fingers.
Will a switch with more resistance make me work harder, or reduce the impact on my fingers of bottoming out all day long? Advice please 🙏
Dear #Mechanicalkeyboards community,
I’m looking for a case for a wireless #Corne V3.
- minimalistic
- Cherry MX style switches
- 3DPrintable or cheap to buy
What do you use?

PART 2 is live 👍🏼🤓 You watched the design, now watch the build! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bjp_LteX_Y #mechanicalkeyboard #cherryMX #QMKfirmware
OK, my Corne is now ready for some tinkering with QMK 😸 I really love the Cherry MX Grey switched I put in there 😻
And my Cantor finally got a nice case.
I guess I'll now have some boards to bring to #Mechanicon next year.
Well, until then I might have more than two to bring along 😹 (although these are pretty basic ones)
