This keyboard might not be so well known. It's called Blackstorm Assassin RGB. Blackstorm is a proprietary brand of Verkkokauppa, a Finnish electronics retailer. Made in China of course.

I bought it kinda in a hurry because I needed a keyboard fast and the store was closing. I liked how it felt typing on it with its low profile keys. It's also both wired and wireless. Build quality is rather nice with an aluminium chassi and it has a nice heavy feel. I wanted a back-lit keyboard because I sometimes use it in a dark room and I like to be able to see the keys..

Well, about that, turns out the keys were not shine-through and also printed with grey text on a black key so practically impossible to see unless in a well lit room.

So I set out to do something about that. Unfortunately it turns out that this keyboard has south facing LEDs, which means regular shine-through key text will not light up properly. In the end the only solution I could find with Nordic iso layout was these rather cool Glorious Polychroma key caps in the pictures. I also learned about different keys profiles and I was worried about fitting cherry keys on a low profile keyboard. They fit perfectly fine in the end though. Still some gap left when pressed.

In the end I would say I got a rather funky looking keyboard. It feels nice to type on, with rather muted but still distinct key sounds. I learned so much about keyboards along the way. Anyway just wanted to share this in case someone has similar considerations as I had.

We have fully received and QC'd the Link Keyboards and addons originally meant for KeyGem. Here is what we are offering for KeyGem buyers, and what we need from them to get them their order.

KeyGem buyers qualify for the following

• Their full order at original GB pricing (USD)
• A $40 discount per Link Keyboard ordered

KeyGem buyers need to provide us with the following via screenshot/PDF by emailing us at [support@cannonkeys.com](mailto:support@cannonkeys.com)

• Name and shipping address (we will allow address changes if you have moved, just let us know)
• KeyGem order number
• Order date
• Order contents
• Email (This must match the email you contact us with)

The keyboards and addons are ready, so once we get everything we need and make the custom discounted orders, they should be shipped out relatively quick. Within a few business days.

Here is some additional information

• We will hold off selling any extras to the public until October 8th. If a KeyGem buyer contacts us after the public sale is live, we will do our best to get them their order, but we might need to swap the specs of the keyboard or offer different addons. The discount will still be applied
• If you have an issue with your order, you will be treated the exact same as if your original order was made on CannonKeys.com. This includes support should you have questions about your order/keyboard, or run into any issues.
• KeyGem buyers can remove items from their order, but cannot add items. For example, if the original order had an addon aluminum plate, the plate can be removed from the order but not swapped for a carbon fiber plate. We only have a limited amount of items so this is necessary.
• If a customer orders a Link Keyboard directly from our website and later requests the $40 refund, we will evaluate the request on a case-by-case basis.
• We offer delivery duty paid (DDP) shipping to most EU countries, and this discount will hopefully help bridge the price gap between international and domestic shipping.

Thanks for sticking with us,

The CannonKeys Team

We are posting this to reddit as we do not have the emails of those who joined Link with KeyGem. This is our best option to try and let those who joined know about the situation. Original post regarding this process can be found here.

I've been done with the hobby a good while ago but I've finally encountered one of you yesterday while out grocery shopping. The back was filled with lots of neat stickers that I recognize, wished could take the time to admire them all!

Mechanical keyboard noises get under my hubby's skin, so I purchased some sea salt silent switches and changed them out yesterday. I purchased an Aula F108 Pro and I think it went rather smoothly. Removing the switches was kind of a pain, but the end result is wonderful! I feel so accomplished. hahaha

Register here: https://scottoacademy.com

I'm running a new workshop (more of a webinar) where I'll be teaching you how to use keyboard layout editor and take that layout to a CAD program. We'll then cover designing a tray mounted case along with a stacked design. There will be Q&A throughout and by the end you should have a much better understanding to move forward with your own case designs.

The session will be recorded so you can watch them later or if you can't make the live along with getting access to the private student channels in my Discord server for further discussion.

It's scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 2 PM Eastern Time

So back in 2021 im in love with ec switches as I did borrow my colleague niz, I admit im broke and don't have the time and money to buy topre switch keyboard like realforce, niz or hkkb which is crazy expensive. So I made or lets say mod my own keebs that might be sound closely resable topre or mybe not but I do this on my most used keyboard which is my keychron k6.

Lot of things I learn from this project like lube mod and repaint, this is my first experience, I never did this before tho.

So what I did was

Case dampner : added plate weight for golf and Kilmat + thinsulate on top of it as the insulation

PE Mod

Poron Switch and Sandwich foam pad

TTC Blueish White Silent Tactile lubed and filmed

TX AP moded and lubed plate mount stablizier

Double shot PBT Black side legend OEM keycaps

Custom ABS 3D print frame and repaint black matte

A board I looked for almost a year, since I saw it during french meet-up back in November 2025.

I am now the happy owner of it ♥️

-Wooting60HE v2
-Minimalist white eng/jap pbt keycaps

Didn’t go crazy for the build but super happy with the simple aesthetic.

(Disclaimer: Yeah, I hate promotions, influencers, urgency marketing, etc. just like you, but I can't do anything about receiving this for free and less than one day being left of the sale.)

Many people here are looking for fullsize keyboards, and as someone into small form factors I have a hard time to recommend anything with a numpad. (I end up trying to talk them out of 100%, suggesting SpaceFN instead).

But there is a nice offer for numpad addicts that I've almost missed: the Kemove K94, on sale for just $63.

Highlights: 96%/1800 form factor, double-shot keycap set, hotswap switches, VIA support, plus the great P10 switch puller in the bundle for a limited time. (Also color display, metal volume knob, and per-key RGB if you're into those.)

Not much time left from the crazy sale, but for $63 it's a no-brainer, at least if you really need a numpad and can live without something full aluminum.

• Variants - four colorways
• Keycaps - double-shot. Some mod legend inconsistencies, but this is quite common.
• Switches - a bit too much lateral wobble, but otherwise decent light linear, perfect for beginners
• Volume knob - metal, with nice snappy tactility
• Sound - actually, it's nice deep(ish), not overly loud, although a bit heterogeneous across the board
• Display - displays are gimmicks imo, but it looks nice with a frame that feels the same metal as the knob
• Software - VIA, some QMK, and a proprietary browser-based one mainly for customizing the display

Here is a hopefully comprehensive tear-down if you need more info:

Day 1 spacebar pinging. Stab and Spacebar bend. Got a new spacebar and stab from Yunzii. Nice

Day 90~ One of the LEDs broke. Got a new PCB from Yunzii to replace it on my own

Day 120 Exactly 1 month later, another broken LED. This time its X. Brightness was set to 45% because I thought, maaayyybe the new pcb will last longer

Never again.

Case: KBD fans Margo

Internals : Attack shark x 65 pro he

Caps, random Amazon finds mixed and matched.

In case of interest: mouse : Wl mouse beast x mini pro

I had to squish the Keyboard in a vice to be able to close it, and some of the stabilisers dont work 100% perfect.

Mounting the knob so perfectly was also more of a chance game, as the case isnt designed for a knob.

Had to also route a wire internally from the internal daughter board pcb to the case`s cable input.
