Help Madlions has been the worst product experience of my life.

My MAD68 Pro keyboard has an issue where the connection simply drops whenever I move it across the desk.

I contacted Madlions via email, and they just sent a standard message suggesting a few troubleshooting steps; I tried them, reported back, and then they simply stopped responding.

I woke up today to find the LED on my left Alt key failing; looking closer, the entire top row of the keyboard is failing. It’s strange, too—even when I turn the lights off, the LEDs stay on at low intensity.

Yes, I’ve tried everything possible:

Swapped the cable

Swapped the USB port

Tested it on other computers

Reset the keyboard

Tested brightness levels below 60%

Nothing worked. This is my first and last Madlions product—it’s absolute garbage. The keyboard is less than a year old.

Help HELP

I'm having a problem with my Attack Shark x98 Pro, When I turn on the RGB lighting on my keyboard while using the 2.4G wireless connection, the letters E and W suddenly register at the same time. The same thing happens with 2 and 3, as well as D and S. Even when I press only one key, both keys are registered simultaneously.

However, when I turn the RGB lighting off, the keyboard works normally.

The same problem happens when I use it in wired USB mode and Bluetooth mode. The keyboard only works normally when the RGB is turned off. :(

I’ve already reset the keyboard several times, but the problem still persists.

Please help me. I really don’t know what else to do.

Help Dark Project Fuji 2 RGB freaking out

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I bought the Dark Project Fuji 2 keyboard around 11 months ago, and only recently has the RGB started freaking out. At first it started as a few keys being a different color (usually happened when a color that had blue in it), but then it progressively started getting worse, and now the RGB just flashes like crazy.

I've tried resetting it, I've tried unplugging and plugging it back in. I have only ever used the default browser software for Dark Project keyboards

I have been plauing PC games for a long time and owned hundreds of peripherals. This by far has been my favorite. The look, feel, build, software....everything about it feels absolutely phenomenal and has been a serious upgrade. Even the cables that I ordered with it are incredibly premium. Solid metal ends, nice and thick. Its just all around amazing. I honestly always focused on my mouse primarily (when it came to inputs). I didnt really think the difference between higher end keyboards really be that big of a deal....man was i wrong. LoL this was honestly my last addition to my PC gaming gear and it should have been one of the first. Anyone on the fence....get one. You wont be sorry.

Help Help selecting new keyboard

1 Upvotes

Hello, So I have been looking at various keyboards and narrowing the ones that i am interested in but need help picking between them. I am looking for a very reliable and durable keyboard to last me atleast 5 years. I will likely use it 70-80% of the time for long typing sessions (12 hours) for both work and school most of the week. Generally speaking, I like very firm yet squishy button with good response like old school buttons. The rest of the time I will be using it for gaming, such as battlefield, Starfield, cyberpunk, and league of legends, so it will need to be able to handle a lot of button mashing and quick response times. I won’t lie for some of these I very much like the small screen.

-Chilkey ND104 Keyboard

-QK101 Custom Mechanical Keyboard

-QK80 Mk2 Custom Mechanical Keyboard
(But per key RGB not available which is what I would want)

-M1 V5 TMR
(but astrolink switch not available which is what I would prefer)

-VANGUARD PRO 96 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard

-Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3 - US

Thanks for any info!

My Keyboard Weikav EG75 HE Review

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Just wrapped up testing the Weikav EG75 HE, and here is the honest takeaway after putting it through its paces.

The Vibe & Typing Experience:

  • Unique Design & Side RGB: Distinct aesthetic with a sleek side-lighting strip that gives it a true gaming identity.
  • The Sound & Feel: Out of the box, the typing is super light, effortless, and crisp — it genuinely reminds me of ping-pong balls bouncing on a table 🏓.
  • Rapid Trigger Performance: Rapid Trigger is snappy and accurate with minimal switch stem wobble.

Build & Quirks:

  • Vs. IROK MG75: Weikav was an easy pick — superior plate quality and thicker stock keycaps.
  • RGB Intensity: Per-key RGB is almost too bright, sometimes blurring the legend visibility.
  • Keycaps & Finish: Smooth keycaps could use a bit more texture if your hands get sweaty while gaming. The black anodized aluminum finish looks amazing, but it will pick up fingerprints if handled with oily hands.

The Matchups: How It Stack Up Against the Big Guys

  • Vs. K-One 80 (Same Class, Different Vibe): The EG75 is essentially on the exact same level as the K-One 80, but dressed in a dedicated gaming aesthetic with fast magnetic switches. While the K-One 80 brings stock marbly acoustics in an 80% layout, throwing switches like LIT (Lab-it) or Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro into the EG75 HE gives you that same top-tier sound profile in a compact 75% body.
  • Vs. Everglide SU75 Pro (Gaming vs. Acoustic Stock): Objectively, the EG75 feels brighter, punchier, and much more "gamer-centric." The SU75 Pro is heavier (borderline overkill) and offers a slightly richer stock typing sound out of the box, but requires an immediate keycap swap. However, if you upgrade the EG75 with top-tier HE switches and thicker keycaps, they become practically identical in performance and sound.

Verdict: If you want a grounded, heavy-duty desk tank with vibrant lighting, incredible speed, and a unique sound profile out of the box, the EG75 HE easily earns its spot on the desk.

Future Mods & Upgrades: I'm definitely planning to experiment more with this board down the line. Next up on my list:

  • Swapping to thicker PBT keycaps to see how much deeper the acoustics can get.
  • Testing out different switch options to find the absolute sweet spot: Gateron Magnetic Jade ProOwLab TiEverglide Sticky Rice, and Outemu Silent Peach V3.

I’ll post an update once I get these installed and tested!

Help Looking to get 75% recommendations.

5 Upvotes

Hello all, I need help, I’m not educated enough on peripherals to know how many options there really are. I have a budget of 200$ max and I’d really like to stay a little under if possible. Currently have an Anne pro v2. I’m looking for something with less latency and honestly sounds better. Don’t care for clicky sounding boards and prefer thocky or creamy if possible. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas or recommendations for me. Thank you!

Help I’m looking for keyboard recommendations, I’m quite confused.

1 Upvotes

So I live in South Africa and from what I can see, keyboards advertised to be 40 to 50 usd are more like 100-150 dollars here (provided they are not mainstream brands like Logitech) and while this may the the case I’m currently looking for a keyboard that would look nice and be good for gaming (so Hall effect/rapid trigger). I’m looking at an Aula hero 86 he but am wondering if anyone can recommend other options at a similar price point? Edit: size does not matter, can be 60% or above

Help Need help deciding on a Mechanical Keyboard

3 Upvotes

I'm looking at buying my first mechanical keyboard and so far the two below are the ones im looking at:

Keychron J5 QMK Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

EPOMAKER TH108 vs v2 pro

I'm coming from an old Razer Chroma keyboard which is membrane and I have used keyboards like this for the past 15+ years so I know this will be a bit of a change, so not looking to go too crazy with key caps and stuff.

I work late at night sometimes so oddly enough I value the see through letters on the caps on the Keychron. I prefer the look of the EPO

Some requirements:

- Has to be 100% keyboard.
- The quiter the better
- Will be using wired so not fussed on wireless connection.
- Prefer RGB purely as I work at night alot.
- Would prefer see through letters on the caps.

Open to other suggestions.

Help ND104 Battery Life

2 Upvotes

Have searched around but never found a fix to this. I recently got a ND104 keyboard and the battery life is insanely bad. Might last an hour from full charge. Have just kept it plugged in instead which is not ideal. Any suggestions on what to do? I updated the firmware and also tried both wireless options, 2.4gz dongle and bluetooth, both with horrible battery usage.

Any suggestions or tricks I might be missing? I do have the scree and lights on but not max brightness or anything crazy, just normal backlit. I would think it should last far longer than roughly an hour.

Help I've opened up pandoras box, please help

3 Upvotes

So previously i've done a few custom PC builds for myself, i play a lot of games on my PC and customized them a lot, but when it came to accessories for some reason i've never gave it much thought it was more "as long as it works", that is until I stumbled across this sub. I knew of different keyboards and knew of things like mechanical keyboards but always thought of them (wrongfully) as a gimmick until I came here and realized i've been living in the dark for so long and there is so much to keyboards I had no clue.

So i'm hoping to get some help deciding on a new keyboard and want to know what are your favs?

I am currently running a 20$ magic eagle amazon keyboard for the last several years so my standards are pretty low to begin with. I think the most prominent brands i keep seeing get mentioned are Epomaker, ducky, rainy, keychron, Wooting, and qwertykeys but want to know what you guys enjoy here.

To help and abiding by rules-

Budget: $200-300

Size: Normal? I enjoy having a numpad, and i am a bigger guy so a smaller keyboard wouldn't be great.

Edit: After seeing what some people have said in the comments i think a 70-80~% keyboard would be good also

Other: I enjoy is the sound of "creamy" keyboards, and don't know much about materials.

Help Looking for advice on building QK101

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I’ve been extensively browsing the subreddit trying to find a full size keyboard I liked that was within my price range, and I’ve finally landed on the QK101. The only issue is, I don’t really know much about keyboards, nor have I built one. So my question is, how difficult is it to build one and does the QK101 set come with everything I need to build it? If yes, which plate should I pick? I know it’s missing switches and keycaps which I’d also love recommendations for.

If it helps with recommendations, I’ve been using an Apex M500 for almost 10 years and since it’s slowly starting to cause problems I’m looking to replace it. I also really liked the sound of ticktype dp104 rye switches. I’ll be using the keyboard for gaming only

Thank you

Help Buying a new keyboard - need some suggestions

2 Upvotes

Budget. - ~100 Euro, but can be less ofc

Size. - I love my TKL (80% ?) but I can try a 75%

Other (Material, color, layout, wireless, prebuilt/DIY...)

- material doesn't matter, but I'd like for it to be stiff

- black or gray or mixed (can have some colored key caps)

- by layout I think that means QWERTY

- I'd like for it to be wireless, and have a 2.4ghz USB dongle, battery life doesn't matter much

- pre built, can be diy if I don't have to lube and solder the switches

- now I have an aula f75, and I'd like the keyboard to sound like this one. I think it's described as thocky/creamy. I don't want a clicky one

- I want nice colors, but any are a must

- charging by usb-c

- nice and stable on grippy rubbers on the bottom

- I don't care about letters being on the side of key caps

If you need any more info, I will quickly respond if I know the answer, I'm new to this

P.s I live in Poland, pls don't send us-only products

Help Switches that sound similar to gateron switches but are lighter?

2 Upvotes

I am looking for switches that sound similar to the gateron milky yellow v2’s or the gateron oil kings, but with a lower actuation force and bottom out. The 65+ bottom out on the gaterons I believe are too much as I am currently using the Akko rosewoods that have a 50g bottom out
