Mechanical Keyboards

I am looking for a low profile keyboard compatible with the choc switches. I plan to put the choc sunset on it. I was looking for something similar to the Corne, just without the ergo-split thing. A standard 65-75% would work.

Yeti from my imagination is always cute and funny. He is not scary at all

Has anyone found a good way to include function keys (i.e. F1 - F12) in to their layout on the Moonlander or Ergox EZ?

I have tried adding double tap to the numbers row but find myself accidentally double tapping while typing (e.g. 1223). I tried tap and hold but found that it would often end up detecting a held key (i.e alt+F4 F4 F4).

I am looking through Moonlander layouts in Oryx but am not finding any good ones. It looks like many don't even include the function keys.

Edit: I'm looking for a good way to do Ctrl+Alt+F[num] or Alt+F[num]. Without having to switch layers... if there is even a good way.

Right now I use a DURGOD Taurus which I love (Cherry brown switches), and I take it back and forth from work every day I work at the office.
Unfortunately though it's getting quite heavy for me to carry so often, and I'm a bit worried about its effect on my back.

The laptop bag I use has some pretty good support, so I'm not sure if a better bag would solve the problem.

Are there any travel keyboards that are super light but also have good mechanical switches? As a programmer I need the function keys, the arrows and the keys that are usually above them (Home, Insert etc). I couldn't care less about the numpad.

I was thinking about buying a Keebio Sinc keyboard despite never owning or making a mechanical keyboard. https://keeb.io/collections/sinc

There are some tangible benefits of this keyboard that I really want -- specifically a split mechanical keyboard with QMK support (my current keyboard has a crappy driver situation, I would like to avoid that by using a QMK compliant keyboard) and the price is arguably pretty good for a split keyboard. I haven't found one that suits my needs for a cheaper price -- I don't necessarily need hot swap-able, but I imagine it will eventually help in the case where an individual key stops responding. If anyone knows of another deal that's less hassle or better value, let me know.

Anyway, basically I know very little about building my own mechanical keyboard or just owning a proper mechanical keyboard. But I figured that if I wanted to buy a split keyboard, which are already expensive, I may as well delve into the world of mechanicals at the same time. I know there are a few well-advertised gotcha's around the keebio builds such as needing to buy a set of keycaps if I build myself and appropriately ordering the right number of stabalizers.

However, I have more questions that aren't as easily answered searching so I thought I'd ask people who know a lot more about this than I do.

1. How do I know exactly how many stabalizers I need? Additionally, how do I make sure that I buy the "right" set of keycaps for the keyboard I'm making (do I look up "ANSI keycaps, ISO keycaps" or is there some other trick to make sure I buy the right "set" of keycaps?)

2. If I build my own, what other gotcha's do you think I should know that aren't advertised well on site?

3. I know that Keeb.io offers prebuilt versions, but how do you feel about the cost difference and shipping quality? Obviously it's much easier to ship disassembled than assembled,.

4. Is it a smart idea to build my own before having owned or maintained a mechanical keyboard? Despite the much higher cost, is it worth it to purchase a preassembled keyboard?

5. How do you feel about Kailh Jades vs Durock Shrimps vs Durock Dolphins? Those seem like the 3 most likely switches for me to try and most likely for me to like of the options provided on the site.

I assume IBM was the inspiration behind the OEM profile, and SA certainly looks familiar, but was it from a specific machine, or just meant to be evocative of them? Was XDA from anything in particular?

Even beyond that, I'd just love to hear any trivia about the ties between the history of the industry and the modern hobby.

TLDR: don't have an address to get things delivered and am looking for a store that sells switches, from NYC/Philly area.

Kind of a unique situation. I moved out my old place and am waiting for housing to open up to get into a new place (I'm military). Right before I left my new keyboard and keycaps got delivered. It's going to be a month+ before I'm assigned housing and don't want to wait that long.
I'll be driving through NYC and I would think there's some kind of walk-in store somewhere I could goto so I can build this board but Google maps shows nothing. Any ideas?

#mechanicalkeyboards

my initial plan was to get an Ajazz K992 and buy the switches separately but it seems the bottom row is non standard so getting keycaps for it would be harder

My latest design - Cut Slope.

• integrated RP2040, 16MB flash
• Choc spaced, ortho-ish with dropped and splayed pinkies
• Full color, 240x320 display

I've got a few of the prototypes listed on my shop if anyone is interested in grabbing one: https://shop.hazel.cc/products/cut-slope

I've been thinking about picking up another 65% board for a little while, and I'm liking the look of the Envoy. A lot of the keyboard streamers seem to like it, but has anyone on here had a chance to use it yet?

I recently bought an Epomaker RT100 keyboard, and loving it so far. My only complaint is that they don't sell UK layout keycaps for it (I've emailed them and they've confirmed this).

Are there any third-party keycaps I could buy that would match? I'm hoping I can just buy the 5 keycaps I need (2", 3£, #~, `¬, and '@) to turn it into a UK layout, rather than an entire set. Thank you in advance.
