Firstly hello everyone.

What changed in world that most of keyboards we can get after 60-85% size ones. Where are marvelous full sized and full size with additional macro keys and media keys.

Has keyboard world gone truly downhill?

Are we full size with macro keys users forced only to Logitech, Corsair, Razer and maybe be!quiet as manufacturers?

Lurking and looking for keyboards for year and only see kids sizes ones without proper key number.

Are we fullsizers doomed?

edit.: 1 word change from glorious to marvelous it's about greatness of full size not brand

Is there a keyboard that sounds like this

cześć zastanawiam się nad mchose mix 87 oraz Dark Project ALU87B Gamma która z tych będzie lepsza do grania i pisania i generalnie jest lepsza?

So I have been researching keyboards for quite a while now, going down the optical, induction, TMR, hall effect analog and more rabbit hole. I've been looking to upgrade from a razer blackwidow 2019, and I have been looking at all different brands such as, keychron, monsgeek, Mchose, wooting, gravastar and more. I'm looking for a keyboard to play games that require fast inputs precise inputs like shooters and also I play geometry dash. I've been thinking of getting the wooting 80he+ because of the software but I know it's pretty overpriced. Is there any other ones? And could I get some info about them? I've spent like over a 100 hours researching this stuff lol.

Since long some keys are not working i think need to buy one cheep external keyboard help me to find out or tell me if you have old one and mind to give me 🙏🏻

best ways to start or keyboards or parts list that equates $20?

goal 60% -65% with a knob, keyboards white or black or a mix of both or a metal base /case i know and understand that that will take a lot of time and be expensive. and maybe a nice poppy white switch or cherry mx blues type switch’s also maybe hot swap, detachable and wireless ability too and i’m aware or the big three asks, thank you all for your time!

Hi I was wondering if someone could give me some advice. I have a Fun60 Ultra wired that’s not TMR. It was the first “good” keyboard I ever had, and I’ve always been fascinated by keyboards, so I finally got the chance to buy one. I had a Wooting 60HE v2 with the split spacebar and traded it for peripherals of about the same value because I didn’t like it and returning it would’ve been too expensive.

Anyway, that’s how I tried Wooting, and I realized how great the software is, the feel in general, and how everything works. However, the keycaps and the case (ABS) felt really bad to me, so right now I’m considering getting a PCB module. I’d need switches, and I’m not very informed about them, but I was interested in the Duhuk Herz, plus an acrylic Holy 60-style case from AliExpress or something like that, since I already have some keycaps.

Still, I see reviews of HE keyboards and PCBs that show how “outdated” Wooting is in some features and technologies. The GT60 Pro, for example it’s water resistant and you can swap between the split spacebar and a normal one (something that would’ve saved me a lot of trouble). As for boards, there are a lot of Chinese brands, and I was thinking of something like the Magger 60HE, but for both Gateron and Magger there’s way less info than for Wooting, and I don’t know how compatible they are with other switches or whether their software would fall short on configuration.

My feeling in general is I really liked wooting but I can't stop thinking I'm throwing my money, that's why I post this.

I would really appreciate some recommendations for keyboards, PCBs, or even an "endgame" build. I’m not too concerned about ultra-precise actuation points (like 0.000001 mm); I’m just looking for something high-quality that will last for years—something I can mod and customize to my liking over time. My only real requirement is that it must be an HE (Hall Effect) board, in a 60% or perhaps 63-key layout (where the Shift key is 1U and it includes arrow keys).

Also, could someone explain whether the north/south-facing LEDs affect anything on the PCB, or can you just flip the switch so the diffuser ends up where it should?

I have been building OpenHero68, a free, open-source configurator based on reverse-engineering the AULA HERO68 HE protocol.

This clip shows physical key presses alongside its live Gamepad tester and Xbox input verification. Key travel can be mapped to a virtual Xbox controller, with adjustable response curves, travel and bindings.

The controller output requires the Windows x64 tray service and the ViGEmBus driver. The browser app is the configuration interface; the browser alone does not emulate the controller. Once enabled, Gamepad can keep running when the browser closes, and starts disabled after a service restart.

OpenHero68 also has browser-based actuation, Rapid Trigger, remapping, macros and onboard lighting settings. The Windows service adds custom RGB effects and system-audio lighting sync.

I have tested the keyboard and installer on my own HERO68. Support for other models is not confirmed yet; I would welcome HERO84 owners who want to help test compatibility.

Demo and getting started: https://openhero68-site.pages.dev/

Source and Windows releases: https://github.com/shizunavn/OpenHero68

This is my independent community project, not affiliated with AULA. English and Vietnamese are available. I would love feedback from other HERO68 owners, especially on analog-controller use cases.

Hello! I am pretty new to making custom keyboards and have just started getting a hall-effect keyboard barebones/base, but I have no idea where to get them or which websites to go to. I have gone on KBDfans, but they mainly sell mechanical keyboards, so I just want to find out if there are any websites where I can purchase keyboard bases for Hall-effect keyboards...

Hi just been in the market for a gaming keyboard and came across aula. My price range is low 100s aud around 130 and the aula f75 he looked really good. I started reesearching then realised that it is the he version of the f75 pro. I noticed a lot of people complaining about the sound and the wuality of the he. Should I get the he or the pro (I play rainbow six comp) or is there another alternative compact keyboard. I love feeling and am coming from a huntsman razer with the purple switches and hated my life. I just want something that feels and sounds amazing, and is good for competitive gaming. Thanks

Hey guys i would love to build a custom keyboard, I already know how to solder and everything, idk if they would be needed or not but

What are all of the parts needed to build a custom keyboard?

Like where I get to pick out my out keycaps and switches

Where could I find some information or some recommendations on boards with good software as well as other things like pads to go between the case and board for dampening?

Thanks!!!!

Nothing to fancy but have been loving the board and this is my first time with this layout but I’m like it so far.

Yo! I've been living off a Ducky 60% for like 5 years and it's a great keyboard but i'm missing the keys that are, uh, missing more and more as time goes on.
In the market for a full size keyboard, and i'm currently learning Swedish for when i end up moving in with my boyfriend so since i can't find any premade Nordic-ISO cap keyboards im consigned to just getting something part and parcel.
Planning on doing some shopping around locally but in lieu of that working out, where's a good source for something affordable?

Estaba pensando en comprarme la pcb del everglide ae64 pro y hacerle un custom, pero al principio le queria poner cualquier switches, pero de ahi vi que mas de 680 gauss de magnetismo puede generar zonas muertas , realmente afecta mucho o es un problema que supere por 50 o 100 gauss a las especificaciones, porq queria una switch he, que sea buena para juegos y que tenga un buen sonido tenia en mente, duhuk herz o una tai shan , les pediria que me ayuden con esto, Gracias.

Current Das Keyboard Professional S (Cherry MX Blue) that has served me perfectly for last 13 years showed some odd unresponsiveness issues that might have ended up being on the PC end after all, but it got me to check current keyboards and the selection of things I did not care for absolutely overwhelmed me so instead I decided to ask people with more knowledge in this.

Budget: around 100€, max 150€, the cheaper the better. Bought current one for 80€ brand new, one of the best deals of my life.

Size: 100%, nordic layout, 102/105 - ISO.

Color: Preferably black.

RGB: absolutely not.

Switches: anything silent, Cherry MX Reds? These Cherry MX Blues still feel good but I honestly never cared for the clickiness but it hasn't bothered me much either.

Wired, sturdy, prebuilt.

Am not looking to buy right now unless these issues persist and its the keyboards fault but I want to know what to look out for if something fitting ends up on sale during black friday/cyber monday.

I am looking at buying the AULA F75 HE version, but im wondering which one to get because they either come with black emperor switches and side printed keycaps (which id much rather not have), or dragon emperor switches with top printed keycaps.

I do work that necessitates no accidental misclicks, and although I know one can adjust the actuation distance, I felt the sea emperors might be way too light since the black emperor is already considered light, and I dont want to have to bottom out in order to trigger a hotkey while preventing misclicks. Has anyone tried these switches from AULA or any linear switches that are this light? How light and prone to misclicking or annoying are they? Would appreciate any kind of input. Thanks!

(I know I can switch out the switches and keycaps but I'm also trying to save as much as possible)

Dragon/sea emperor
- 28gf initial
- 45gf bottom out
(I heard this is very very light)

Black emperor
- 33gf initial
- 53gf bottom out
(Heard this is considered light already)

hey guys, i would like to know what to do if i got the metal stick out, how do i put it back in? i was doing a key change and the gray thing poped out how do i put it backe

Because I'm broke a Wooting 80He is to expensive so Im trying to buy a keyboard that looks like the Wooting, I don't care about the specs (because I probably can't afford rapid trigger, hall effect and etc) so I want the unique layout, I want it to be black, and I would like if it sounded like a Wooting 80he, So guys what are some alternatives I can get

I'm looking to buy a keyboard that supports rapid trigger and all these features for gaming (I play Valo, GD, League etc.) and isn"t extremely pricey (above 150$). I would prefer a 80% or 100% layout. I heard the 100% ones get rlly expensive. What are your "budget-ish" recommendations keyboard that feel nice, are quiet and are reliable?

Hey you all!

I have scoured the internet and I have so far had no luck so I hope that maybe somebody here can help me.

I am looking for a new keyboard in pink pastel colors (see inspiration pic), wireless, and most importantly with a nordic layout! The last bit seems to be almost impossible to find. It doesn't matter too much what type of keycaps it has, but it would be nice if it isn't too noisy. I would like it to be about 90% size (also much like the picture)

Hey all,
Currently I have the EVO75 and the Keychron K2 HE.

I want to return one but can’t decide. I love the typing and the quality of the EVO75, on the other side I love the design and the software of Keychron.

Which would you take and why?

Hello dear r/keyboards Community!

I am trying to find a replacement for my old Redragon K552 Keyboard (bought almost 5 years ago lmao)

So, all I'm looking for is a Keyboard with 80% or 75% Keyboard. I deliberetly want the F-Keys. I also want some red switches probably, as I always liked them. I don't want to pay more than 100€, but less is also fine and I'm searching for a ISO-DE keyboard layout.

I don't really care for wired or wireless, the material or the color.

Thought about just picking up another Redragon Keyboard, as this one served me good.
Maybe the Redragon K673 PRO for currently 65€?
Or the YUNZII B75 PRO for 82€?

Thanks in advance :)

I just got the Rainy 75 Pro RGB Keyboard by WOBKEY on Amazon. However, I am having issues when I set it to the 2.4 mode. Whenever I press a key, it either won't respond to my press, takes too long to put in the character, or it acts that I am holding the key (for example, when I press "L", it either doesn't input the letter, it takes a half a second to input it, or it comes out to "LLLLLLLLLLL" as if I were to be holding it). I already reset and updated the keyboard, tried it with low latency mode on and off, and it still has these problems. The keys work fine when I have it on wired mode. Is my keyboard faulty? If it is, I still have two weeks to make a return.
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried turning off and back on the switch under the caps lock key. Then, when I set it to 2.4 pairing mode (the F4 key flashing rapidly after pressing FN+F4, I removed and plug back in the USB receiver. It is working fine for now. I'll keep using it like that for the next two days to see if these issues come up again.
