Got the key caps in today so I finally have a usable Q10. Now thinking about a 60% one to use with my work laptop, once I get that part of the desk re-arranged.

my only beef with keychron is they still haven't provided a way to gently caress with the rgb leds from your host system. i have my laptop keyboard pulse different colors based on various notificaitons/conditions and wish i could do the same on the desktop

i suppose that's a valid complaint. i only have white backlights on my k6 and i just do the "follow the last key you typed" mode and turned the mode lock on. subtle hacker mode imo

you could do this with QMK firmware because it can receive raw HID data from the host and act on it…

On the keycap front look for something in SA or MT3 profile. MT3 profile sets are exclusive to Drop.com and are in both ABS and PBT. SA profile can be found at a bunch of different vendors.

I don’t see any support for k2 in the main QMK repository, so I’m not sure. sorry…

I got the orange-and-grey from Drop too, with bone alphanumerics, love them

my gk21s numpad is hosed up somehow. if I tap keys quickly, like rolling my fingers 3-2-1 or 6-5-4 it outputs 1-2-3 or 4-5-6 (or 5-4-6). there's also a bit of a delay in response, and if I tap 0000 I'm very likely to drop a keypress

I can't find updated firmware for it to try, but it happens on both my Win 11 machine and my Linux one, via both bluetooth and USB

anyone know what I might be able to do about this?

im not familiar with the specific item, but this sounds like a firmware issue, and cursed one at that if it doesn’t preserve order of inputs

Well, I was the proud owner of an Ergodox EZ, and then the YOSPOS keyboard thread showed me horrors from the dorkth dimension and I have to live with the knowledge that some motherfucker put one of these poor things in a harness and wore it like a baby.

I still own it, so it's just the pride part that's gone.

I always find it really sad Signature Plastics' much-superior for modern use but unfortunately named SS profile got nixed. SA was always intended for angled keystems which is why it can feel so baffling to use at times. I have an old telex terminal keyboard that has SS profile caps and the profile is super nice compared to SA sets I have.

As a result I'd always recommend MT3 these days, it is just better.

is there anything similar to MT3 that’s not exclusive to massdrop?

I think the KAT profile is spherical and basically a shorter, less aggro SA, but I mostly buy keyboards that are older than I am so I'm not 100% on that.

Finally took the time to make a useful keymap for this numpad I've had for a minute now. Was having a hard time figuring out how to bind it, until I realized I can just turn it sideways with the big + and 0 keys at the top, waaaay more usable that way imo. Integrates with my i3 configuration nicely.
