I have a cannonkeys bakaneko65, quality-wise its great, but i think 65 doesnt have enough keys and wish i went with a 75. here's a pic:wow that's gorgeous indeed. I like how the keycaps even extend to the side.
Anyone have issues with cannonkeys? Zoom75 is calling my name but the thought of jumping in a groupbuy where there's a restocking fee for canceling makes me hesitate.
The picture is showing a 60% keyboard, not 65, though. I personally agree that 75 is the perfect sweetspot if you need the function keys fairly often, which I do. If I wasn't programming, but doing almost exclusively writing, then I would probably settle for 65 or even 60, but alas.I have a cannonkeys bakaneko65, quality-wise its great, but i think 65 doesnt have enough keys and wish i went with a 75. here's a pic:
I'm considering getting a epomaker th80 pro 75% kit and moving my switches/keycaps over, but im worried it'll lose its sound and feel

Nice build, GMMK Pro is looking great there. I think you are using the Flexkit here, right?
Yes sir. But honestly its still a pretty stiff board and I'm cool with that. I think all in with this board I'm only 220 bucks so I'm not really complaining.Nice build, GMMK Pro is looking great there. I think you are using the Flexkit here, right?
And pretty impressive collection of handhelds too
For fans of linear switches it's probably pretty neat, as you can change resistance and thus have lighter or heavier switches, without needing to ever change anything. Not needing a coil would also mean that you get a much cleaner sound (no possibility for any pinging).
think you're misunderstanding how these hall effect switches work; the resistance is still coming from a spring, not the magnet itselfFor fans of linear switches it's probably pretty neat, as you can change resistance and thus have lighter or heavier switches, without needing to ever change anything.

As someone who prefers heavy tactile switches, though, it doesn't seam very interesting. You aren't going to simulate a dynamic resistance curve with a fixed magnetic strength. The only thing that comes to mind is if you had a dynamically programmable switch that changed the strength of the magnet as you moved the switch, but I don't see that being possible for some time and it would likely massively raise the price as you now need something that can react in sub milliseconds, so above 1GHz updates per switch.
I haven't tried the bananas specifically but I have the mints which to my understanding are basically similar but slightly heavier. I really like them. They feel pretty similar to my bobas on my work keyboard but they were a lot cheaper.Does anyone recommend the Keychron K Pro Banana switches? I've been reading around seeing good things to where they are at least as good as Pandas. Thoughts?
Oh, so it's just affecting the actuation, but nothing else?think you're misunderstanding how these hall effect switches work; the resistance is still coming from a spring, not the magnet itself
That looks amazing. I love the keycaps. I am thinking of getting a Q1 Pro myself. I need a Mac-friendly keyboard and my current Logitech keyboard might need replacement Soon.I've been messing around with hot-swappable keyboards for a long time by now, starting with a Massdrop CTRL years ago. My current board is a Keychron Q1 Pro with Zeal Clickiez switches. It's my favorite keyboard I've ever had, but I've been getting the itch to move onto something new and I decided to finally build my own. I have an Anodized Purple QK75N on its way and I'm going to load it up with some Blue Bubblegum switches and throw on my violet-on-cream keycaps. I have a whole lubing set up and I'm going to practice lubing various cheaper switches and stabs I have laying around.
Here is my well loved, but soon to be retired Keychron Q1 Pro. I'm probably going to use it as a testbed for new switches after my new board is done.
The specific keycap set is the Oblotzky GMK Oblivion Monochrome set with Hagoromo alphas.
I am a bit clueless about mechanical keyboards. I have been using a Logitech G Pro keyboard for a couple of years. Lately, a number of keys have been double typing or not typing at all. What is the most likely cause of this? And what can I do to fix it, if anything? I gotta be honest, I do kinda bash the keys when I type.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, I have a G Pro with the blue Romer G switches. I mainly play Elder Scrolls Online. The strange thing, however, is that I always use a controller. The keyboard is just for text input, in the game and also in general use. I'm pretty sure I can't replace the switches, sadly. I'm going to try cleaning it today and see if that helps. The keyboard looks clean, though.I actually used to have a Logitech G Pro that I gave to my friend a few years ago. A few months after I gave it to him, he started having those same issues. I have a feeling that just starts happening with Logitech GPro boards eventually. The one I gave him had the terrible Romer G switches in it. He plays a lot of WoW so he was definitely spamming the hell out of those keys.
I think outside of the mech board enthusiast vendors, to which I would deffo count Keychron, even if they aim at more low-cost, mainsteam part of the community, most just don't think of keyboards as things that should sound or feel some particular way. It's how some people just have super cold fluorescent lights in their house and don't see how that might be hard for others to deal with. Just different (or complete lack of) sensibilities.I decided to clean off and clean up my Wooting Two keyboard (the one with the optical Flaretech switches) and while I don't hate the switches, the whole board gives off a weird reverb and it's just super annoying. I've been using a Keychron Q5 (96%) with Boba U4T switches and man, yeah, ain't going back to that Wooting Two. The sound and feel is just so much higher quality as a whole.

Haimu Heartbeats are an easy choice. They're cheaper than any other silent linear but perform significantly better. Just check some reviews on YouTube.

8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard - C64 Edition | 8BitDo
Meet the new C64 Edition from the 8BitDo Keyboard line. Packed with programmable keys and an intuitive control panel.. Compatible with Windows and Android.www.8bitdo.com
So just to go back to this from a few months back, thanks again for the recommendation on these. Finally ended up getting the 8BitDo keyboard and no surprise, Kailh whites are way too loud for me. I actually love how they feel and the click is satisfying in moderation, but even with headphones on I can hear them and I value a quiet environment far too much.
So I bought a pack of the Haimu Heartbeats to test out and it's everything I could've wanted. Feels so much better than my Corsair with MX Silents while sounding quieter to boot. Especially on the spacebar which rattles a ton on the Corsair. Gonna order a couple more packs to fill it out and have some spares.
I'm pretty sure the keyboard works fine as any other USB keyboard, it's just that the software for remapping keys is only available on Windows and Android so those are the only listed compatible platformsI take it that the 8bitdo keyboards do NOT work on PS5? I know it's not documented in the product features but was wondering if it might lowkey be compatible.
More Sony's fault -- I know they're very restrictive of keyboard compatibility in their larger anti-3rd-party approach to accessories in general...
