Man I got a logitech low profile mechanical. I like it I guess but some of the switches are dying, and a couple are getting double presses. I've done the clean thing. This is the third I've bought from big companies (razer, corsair, logitech). Also my toddler randomly hits the macro record key and I don't notice, and if I hit a macro key it goes on to type 45 minutes of bullshit. Also she walked off with the numlock key and it's dumb hard to orrder a new one that fits this proprietary click in system. I just want a mechanical keyboard without any bullshit. And also hot swappable. Can I just grab one of the more expensive keychron and be ok? e: that orrder up there was a double press too. I need some new poo poo.

Rexxed posted:Yeah keychrons are alright, we just always recommend getting them from amazon or another retailer that has a good return policy instead of keychron's website, since they aren't great to deal with directly. That sounds good - that was the gist I got, their keyboards are good but their customer service sucks. I should just be able to order a base kit from Amazon then get some switches and caps and be good to assemble it right? I know I can get a prebuilt but I want to do it myeslf just to nerd out.

Eric the Mauve posted:Keychron is basically the only viable option on the market for the things their boards do at their price point, but their QC is practically nonexistent and a keyboard you buy from them has a pretty good chance of arriving with a major defect. If you bought it directly from them, you're SOL; they will tell you to get hosed. What if I was willing to spend a little more? I don't mind if it's gonna be good for like 10 years. The gaming company boards I get basically only last 2-3 years with heavy use. Once a switch dies I just replace the whole keyboard because I don't want to mess with soldering, proprietary caps, etc.

Eric the Mauve posted:Well, hotswappability is one of the important things Keychron boards do. If that's not important to you, you can probably get a similar board at a reasonably similar price from a different brand yeah. mariooncrack posted:What's your budget? I'd say for up to $100, there's a few glorious offerings that I'd say are comparable to Keychron's plastic offerings. They won't match up to Keychron's more premium offerings though. Hotswappable, standard keycaps are the main thing I'm looking for. Backlit is nice too (RGB isn't necessary but I do consider it a perk). Budget I'd say under $500. I'm down for keychron but if there's something more expensive (that's worth it) I'd go higher. I've been lurking this thread awhile and every time I go to replace my keyboard I get overwhelmed with the options and give up.

LionArcher posted:Mode. I swear, posters here are so hooked on Keychron when they sound not great at best, are a poo poo company and all I actually think I really like the sonnet, was looking for a 75. Does it have any backlighting? I can’t tell from the website but it’s not a deal breaker. I type in the dark loneliness a lot and can’t find the “:” and “(“ key by touch. Otherwise looks like exactly what I was looking for. gnatalie posted:by god, that's mode design's music I think I like the mode. Rexxed the model F looks quality too but I just can’t handle the size, it being compact is kind of important to me going from the Logitech one with a full 10-key and macros on the left. The things just too drat big. Those frames are giant. Think I’m gonna go with the Mode unless anyone hard sells a ducky 75 with the lighting. Now to agonize over switches and caps  seems like this thread likes gatereon switches?

Yiggy posted:After having done some homeworking recently, I’d say 500 will probably cover most any keyboard you’d consider absent some really high end bespoke stuff. Also thanks for this - these keyboards look pretty good but I’m kind of jonesing on the mode ones now.
