I bought my first mechanical keyboard today. It's a Keychron V3 TKL QMK Custom. It's also my first backlit keyboard. I like the tactile feel, the sound, and also the backlight. I have set it up to light only the keys I am pressing. It looks cool.

Any recommendations for a budget wired mechanical (TKL) keyboard I can buy during the Black Friday deals? I want to retire my Microsoft sculpt combo. I am tired of changing batteries in the middle of work. I want to go all wired now.

I'm used typing on Model M buckling springs.

I have a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue that I rarely use because I don't like the keyboard case.

But I like how they both click!

Currently daily driver has Akko Cilantro, which are really nice but I'm not into the "tapdancing on plastic" sound it makes.

I'm now eyeing a new keyboard case, and am looking for an old-school feeling-and-sounding clicky switch. Any recommendations?

I've slowly welcomed modern mechanical keyboards in my collection. Currently typing on a FL·ESPORTS OG87 with their default linear switches.

I'll be swapping those out soon with a more-or-less randomly chosen tactile switch.

Makes me wonder: what do folks do with their unused switches? Keep in the drawer till it becomes e-waste? Swap with other keyboard fanatics?

Looking for some nice linears? I'm up for a trade!

Hello #MechanicalkKeyboard, I have an old and loved keyboard with cherry black switches. A few keys, most notably left ctrl, need a "warmup". They won't function out of the box, instead I have to press them intensely for a couple dozen times and then they work again.

What do I need to change/repair to get rid of this behaviour? Is it some kind of cold solder connection or a defect switch or something else? Only affects 2-3 keys, the others are fine.

:BoostOK:

I want a custom #MechanicalkKeyboard keycap that says "Open The Pod Bay Doors"

New! Keychron Q3 Pro SE Wireless Mechanical Keyboard: A Review

Whilst looking at the Keychron site I found the Q3 Pro, which is a TKL keyboard that has a wheel and 4 macro keys.

It has been over a year since I bought this board and I have spent many hours typing on it I thought a review was about due for it.

I've got to say, Boardsource.xyz has done right by me.

I have my beloved lily58 back up and running thanks to a replacement pcb/micro-controller. Many thanks to all who gave me troubleshooting pointers. I think it was a defective micro-controller all along.

My digits are confused but happy to be back to column staggered!

Did some "cleaning" today 😃 One nice thing of mechanical keyboards is, that you can take them apart and clean them.

This is an old keyboard that I decommisioned last year. Now it has a new place at the workshop computer in the basement and replaces a nasty rubberdome keyboard.

The usb port on my keyboard is breaking, so I ordered a new NuPhy Halo in an adorable mint green. At least the old one lasted a good 6 years, still going strong despite the port.

Maybe I will redo my desk set up too, it could use a tidying 😅

#MechanicalkKeyboard

Are there are modern mechanical keyboards with a wide case?

I mean the ones with a chunky edge of plastic. Today's keyboards all seem to have like 3mm of "edge" around the key. I need something to rest my hand on! I sold my Keychron because it was too wide.

The only keyboard I found was this Vortex "Model M SSK"-lookalike, which has the minimum of casing around the edges.

Well, in all the heat of the moment I've just ordered a #lily58 #MechanicalkKeyboard kit.

I hope this ends well!

Don't tell anyone.

I bought another keyboard.

#MechanicalkKeyboard

So I have a mechanical keyboard, a cherry brown one I've been using for like 5+ years every day. For a long time I've been annoyed at the sound it makes, but convinced myself that it didn't make sense to fix because in order to lubricate the switches, I would need to de-solder the switches from the board.

Well as it turns out, that isn't true. If you have a cherry red, brown or blue that is nice but you really want that super smooth feeling of a more premium switch, you can absolutely lubricate it. All I did was depress the switch, put the smallest amount of Super Lube Synthetic Oil on a size 0 brush and then brush the sides of the cherry browns. I repeated this for all the switches.

After a week, it's like a new, much more expensive keyboard. It sounds totally different, more similar to the far more expensive keyboards that my coworkers have. I haven't had any reliability issues and the cost to do it was less than $10. Strongly recommend.

Hey everyone - would you happen to know a fantastic manufacturer of mechanical keyboards? I made the huge mistake of getting a Razer keyboard and I desperately need something that actually works. Any recommendations you have are welcome!

oh no oh no oh no

So I'm thinking of getting the Moonlander keyboard. Anyone know if there are any good third party keycap sets that work well with it?

Hey, collective intelligence, help me with a keyboard problem. Want to buy a Windows keyboard with the following:
Split ergonomic layout
Mechanical keys
TRUE backlit keys (all symbols lit up, not just outlined keys)
RGB nice, but not high up the list
Doesn't cost as much as a new PC.

This seems to be like finding a unicorn or bigfoot. Anybody got and suggestions or warnings? Please share.
