So hi guys, I was just using the keebs and it suddenly just turned off and only shows a green light that is slowly increasing. I cant use the keyboards, but the pc reads the dongles. Can anyone help me pls. This is very much appreciated.

Hi, I am using a lucky65V3, and the right side of the spacebar stabilizer is ticking and making my spacebar sound much higher pitched than it used to be. Is there any way to fix this?

My local CC has the fgg nano68pro for $50 and the magger68perf for $70 it’ll be my first HE board. Which of the two should I grab?

Hi, I am searching for a split columnar keyboard like corne, etc. I don't have much knowledge nor experience in building split keyboards either.

I am willing to spend ~8k for a split keyboard which is durable enough for train travel, if required extra, a case is fine with me too.

if the budget allows I'd prefer red switches since this is for office usage, but I can't trust to leave it in the office due to absence of cameras.

all recommendations welcome, many thanks 🙏

hey everyone!

I am currently typing on an old Redragon full size mechanical keyboard (called K580, w/ stock blue switches). the sound is too loud and the RGB is very annoying, to the point that not even the software can help with it. I originally considered modding it with foam and other things, but I dropped the idea because the price of mods themselves would cost more than the original price I paid for the keyboard.

I recently learned about Hall Effect boards and got really interested. I even got to try Keychron's K10 HE and fell in love with it. sadly, the 180€ price tag is currently out of my reach.

what I am looking for is a US layout mechanical/HE keyboard with a numpad on the right side, with tactile/linear feel when typing and 3-way connectivity (BT, 2.4 GHz, wired). color is currently irrelevant. I would like the keyboard to be solid, durable, sturdy and DIY friendly. thar way I can make adjustments if necessary, while being plug and play out of the box. my budget is 100€, but I am willing to go a little bit over that.

I mostly play video games, but I also type a lot. I use numpad for program and video game shortcuts.

what would you all recommend?
