Mechanical Keyboards

...specifically to install spares I already have. Level with me, y'all. Do I have a problem?

Apparently they’ve pulled out of recent GBs they were set to be the US proxy for. They’ve set their discord to read only and deleted general chat. And their ticket system says it’s full and can’t accept new ones.

It would seem they are still selling and shipping in-stock products, but my two GBs thru them, GMK Moonlight and Hubble, haven’t had updates in quite some time.

Just bought my first mechanical keyboard, an Epomaker RT100 with Flamingo switches. Is it normal to be accidentally pressing keys (mostly shift and spacebar) while just resting my fingers on the keyboard? Is it because I've only used membrane keyboards up until now, and I'll eventually get used to the new sensitivity? Or should I swap the switches out for something heavier/clickier?

Enhance your mechanical keyboard with the Norse Knob, a meticulously crafted artisan knob designed specifically for rotary encoders. Inspired by Norse mythology, this knob features a stunning design that adds a touch of sophistication to your keyboard setup. Each knob is meticulously fit-tested to ensure optimal performance. Please note that slight cosmetic imperfections and variations may occur between knobs, and from what is shown in the promotional photos.
Due to the intricate nature of the knot pattern, each Norse Knob may have slight variations, making it a truly unique piece for your keyboard setup.

My Kaychron Q6 with 68g Boba U4T and 75g Zeal Clickiez.

And I didn't build it from the ground up, but I did change the keycaps on it, so that counts right? I've been running this gorgeous Keychron K10 for just under a year now and it makes using the PC an absolute dream. Still running the stock Gateron G Pro Brown switches, and to be honest I don't really think I'll change from that, in this board at least. I'm also using the Keychron wooden palm rest, which should probably come standard with these because God damn are they a strain to type on without it. Only modifications I've done are the coiled cable and the keycaps, and aesthetically I feel they add quite a bit to the board, especially the shine-through keycaps, they really make the unicorn vomit colour scheme its currently set to pop off the board. Eventually I'd like to delve in to making my own board, but that'll probably come after this one has served its purpose.

The only gripe I have is that I forgot to order it in aluminium, and instead got the plastic body. Not that it feels cheap or anything, I'd just have preferred the high end feel of the metal body.

Obligatory bongocat on the OLED.

Almost all my keyboards are white due to them being vintage, and they attract dirt and dust, especially between the keys. While I have a special plastic cleaner that is alcohol-free and easy to use on most surfaces with a microfiber wipe, I have problem with between the keys

Should I order some specialty kit, or just get some brush from some local hardware store? Makeup brushes don't work very well for this purpose in my experience.

How similar is the Glorious Panda switch to the Holy Panda? Been seeing it around and they sound fantastic. Back when the Holy Pandas came out I couldn’t afford the keyboard hobby but now I can.

I plan to buy my first split keyboard (forever) very soon and would like to hear y'all's opinions on the Glove80 (switch: Kailh Choc v1 Brown Tactile) and Moonlander (switch: Kailh Copper or Cherry MX Brown) two. I've already searched for threads and comments on the matter a few days ago through kbin, so any links to them you provide would probably be for others reading after the fact, which is fine.

I'm very interested in the Glove80's keywelling, but can settle for the Moonlander's sculpted blank keys if people think I'd enjoy the latter more. It'd be staying on my desk indefinitely regardless of which one I buy, but keep in mind that I use my keyboard for a bare minimum of 40hrs a week. >.>
Feel free to comment on the switches, btw. 👀

Current Keyboard: Aula BE FIRE SI-859 Wired Gaming Keyboard. Been using for 8yrs now and would like a quieter one since I've been told I'm a loud typer, but can settle for switches that have the same volume. I just like typing on this not quite mechanical mechanical-ass keyboard. 😅
Hands: ~7.25" long from edge of palm to tip of middle finger.

edit: Should clarify that I use Logitech's G600 and enjoy the 16(?) side buttons, especially with the customizable profiles.

edit2: I'm leaning towards the Moonlander for keyswitch reasons and would really like switch opinions. I've got no experience with switches, btw. Just regular keyboards and my Aula.

Ordered a Keychron K2 which should be arriving next week, but I wasn't really feeling any of the keycap selections on their website

where do y'all buy keycaps?

I'd prefer to get some with MacOS style media keys, but not a deal-breaker
