so three keys on the new keyboard are doing something funny. I've switched back to the other one just to type this

when you press 2, both 2 and 3 are "pressed", I can see this by using the VIA keyboard tester thing

when you press w, both w and e are pressed

and when you press s, capslock a s d f g are pressed. not every single time but most times

I tried to type yospos and this happened yoasdfgASDFG

so three keys on a vertical column that give fucky signals.. somehow..

what a bummer. I mean I hope the nz suppler just replaces it for me because I really like the board otherwise

this happened to me on my last keychron, but only after some years. any key in the home row would also type a ; consistently. thankfully the replacement i got seems to be working just fine. honestly it seems like keychron are turning out to be a bit of a gamble these days.

if it’s a demonstrable problem and they can I’ve owned it for a few days it’ll not end up my problem to deal with keychron to get a replacement

their quality control is notoriously bad and has been since they shipped their first board

yeah, i'm extremely wary of actual long-term quality of keyboards. the last two i've had suffered eventual key-repeat issues; at least my most recent one has qmk so i could screw with debounce timing, but i consider that not a real solution. sucks to hear about keychron, they were my main contender :(

yeah 3 here as well. the 60% is too function-layer-ey for me. the others are awesome.

i'm glad i got that before i indulged my "maybe a 40% would be fun for Just Posting from the couch". the answer, op, is that it would not be. not at all.

yeah heck no, the only way boards that require layers work at all is if you can have sitting posture. contorting your hands while on the couch to access the number 4 would be a dog lol

hows it feel

a large part of me enjoying the one I got is the PBT


I took the other one back to the supplier and they're sending me a new one. well, I'll have to go pick it up :rolleyes: but still. praying


I took it into work the other day when I was the only pharmacist (my boss hates change and I bet a different keyboard would be tragic for her) and drat it was satsfying to type up "2t par4 prn. max8" which is the stupid abbreviation code the software lets me use to fill in labels

i mean, im not buying one, i just think it looks cool. and keyboard is the right size and scope for that level of gaudy, dorky stupidity. 'truck people see me sitting in in public' is obviously a different thing entirely.

the other big difference is the keyboard's actually shipping.

I'm a big enough dork that I actually own the Matrix version of the Cyberboard. It's a drat cool art piece that's usable as a 75% keyboard. I've just come to the realization that I can really only use split or Alice layouts anymore, so it just sits beside my desk with a continuous Matrix rain going on the keys and the LCD, err, matrix.

Even as an art piece it's overpriced by at least $200, if not $400, but still, it's not as bad as audiophile gear, watches, pens, or high-end tuning for a car.

Edit: Wait, dammit, I can even recognize the keyboard he's replacing with the Cyberboard in that clip. It's another hideously expensive board from Angry Miao using leaf springs for its mounting. https://www.angrymiao.com/en/am-afa/ Not even I'm crazy enough to buy multiple Angry Miao boards.

360 bucks sounds absurd for a case, but their old case by itself was $200 and the DIY screen kit they sold was $160, so you're basically wasting your install time if you don't buy this version instead. Also apparently the new one is wider so your GPU can breathe better to the tune of 10 degrees C in gaming.
