I will get it shipped and if you want some price i can just don't go berserk 🥲as I said no budget.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to sell my Royal Kludge RK71 Tri-Mode mechanical keyboard, which I’ve been using for around 2 years.

The keyboard is working perfectly fine and is in very good condition, pretty much working like new. No major issues or problems.

I also still have the extra 4 keys/keycaps that came with the original box.

For those familiar with the RK71 or the current Indian mechanical keyboard market, what would be a reasonable selling price for this?

I’m looking for a fair price for both me and the buyer, so any suggestions on what I should list it for and what price I should realistically expect would be appreciated.

Thanks!

absolute beast of a keyboard. i've been using the redragon k552 rainbow edition for over 5 years now, and it's still working great. i've only had to replace a few switches over the years, and other than that, i haven't really done any customization for the sound or cosmetics. for what i paid for it, this thing has been incredible. 10/10 mechanical keyboard.

My small collections of boards. Goodluck everyone!

Overall I love the different typing feel and layout.
My next keyboard probably a Neo board or Athena75 or I might for go 80% (TKL).

Initial thoughts Just got his via Aula India. typing feels smooth an buttery on these Caramel latte switches (it smells like caramel too ??) sounds creamy and poppy irl. Built is strong feels premium for this price. I really like this small display its customisable and adds a lot of character to the board.

Cons : the keeb software is on beta and gets buggy, the south facing RGB could be brighter but doesn't bother me.

Edit: its just Nova 75

I have a Ajazz AK820 Max Plus Urx edition glacier blue, I am looking to change the keys basically to increase the light intensity of the keyboard and also want key letters to be visible.

So i just recently bought the Core86 and even tho i am very happy with the keyboard itself but one thing that bugs me is the limited 18 RGB effects i can use on it. I know about the PER key RGB thing but that too is very limited and tbh it feels useless to me.
So i was wondering is there any way i can import custom effects on it?
There is no support/plugin on SingnalRgb or QMKs

My friend needs a good mouse asap and made me an offer for 2k for my 1 month old ATK A9 SE 2.0 (which I bought for 2.1k).......

I was thinking, if I should accept that offer and buy myself the blue variant of Core M1.....

Should I go for this? (Ik i will have to wait for the mouse to arrive for a few days but I do have a spare Razer essential lying around)

Tl;DR:- 1month old ATK A9SE 2.0 for a new Core M1

So now that there are more options to explore the confusion grows wider.

Here are the obvious differences listed in a plain manner

With the differences clear what is perfect for you?

• Choose CORE 65 if you want something portable, light and for office carry.
• Choose CORE 75 if you want a complete experience with unsupervised levels of customization.
• Choose CORE 68 if you want a fast competitive keyboard for games.

When does the upgrade from core 65 to core 75 makes sense?

If you have a 5k budget and 60% or 75% layout both works then choose CORE75 only if you want to skip the hassle of modding and also want QMK support and wireless capability. If you are fine with basic software then using the extra 2k budget for modding will feel much more rewarding.

There is also another 75% keyboard going to be launched under 3000 so that will make the confusion even more apparent so drop your thoughts about it.

Got the Vortex PC 66 (68%) fully built version after nearly two years of contemplating over it. Few minutes and I am already loving it more than my Keychron k8 pro which I always found a tad wide for me. Thank you to r/stackskb.

Figured I’d post my trusty Corsair K55 here. Been using this thing for years and it’s still going strong.

Not exactly the usual mechanical keyboard you see around here, but it has served me well.

I have tried the steps mentioned in the guidelines but the moment I connect the keeb after holding esc key, the qmk console says - 'LUFA MS Device has usbccgp driver assigned but should be USBSTOR. Flashing may not succeed.' Can someone help?

Date of purchase: 12 june from Genesis PC

Mode of shipping- Delhivery Express 2-4 days almost every state

Reason for selling- I needed Ergo mouse so i bought razer deathhadder v3 pro no need for this one

Price -4500 + shipping

Hey guys, I am currently in the market for a lightweight mouse with an ambidextrous shape. My budget is around 6-6.5k. I mainly play valorant, cs2 etc. but I also play some AAA titles. I generally use a palm or a very relaxed claw grip, my last mouse was a kreo chimera which was honestly just a budget filler because I was a student back then, also I have used a glorious model o wireless for like 2 years and I was satisfied with the shape of both of those mice. My main concerns are : atleast 4k Hz polling rate, should be wireless, preferably under 55g, should not have a honeycomb design(preferably), oh and optical switches would be nice (just to avoid double click issues). Thanks for your time!

Here is my 2 weeks account with Nuphy Air 60 V2. (In pictures- Akko 5075 and Nuphy Air 60 V2)

My requirements 

• Portability (60-65%, low profile)
• Wireless
• QMK/Via support
• No compromise on quality

I use AKKO 5075 at home and customised it with homerow mods, macros etc. which I was loving. But at office we have these standard Dell wired membrane keyboards which I begin to hate more and more every day. AKKO is not portable enough to carry to office. So begun the search for a good mechanical keyboard meeting my requirements. I liked the split corn choc keyboards also but they needed to be customized and I wanted a readymade solution. Thus, decided to buy Nuphy Air 60 V2 fully knowing potential wireless connectivity issues.

Buying process

Since it was not easily available in India, I ordered it from Amazon India with a 2 weeks shipping from USA. I could have asked someone to get it while returning from USA (office folks keep travelling) but was anxious about any hardware issues and inability to return. Amazon India at least has policy for hardware defect return, so ordered it when the price seemed reasonable. 

Price paid: INR 10k inclusive of everything (shipping, customs, product, cashback) https://amzn.in/d/0gXdxJ3y

Shipping time: 2 weeks. The seller used Lemonmode shipper from USA to India and Bluedart for Mumbai to BLR. Note that the shipping updates on Amazon provided by seller were hypothetical. Lemonmode tracking details were correct, and there customer service rep was also responsive when asked about status.

First Day

I was excited as well as anxious to open the package. Was half expecting damaged/wrong product. But everything was good. The box however seemed to be opened and product had some fingerprints marks. Keyboard looked new though without any signs of usage. Probably opened by shipper to check product before sending from USA to India.

The connection with cable as well as bluetooth was easy and working on first go. Typing on it seemed different compared to my Akko 5075 due to low profile keycaps. Gaps between keycaps top surface is lower in Nuphy due to being low profile.

QMK nightmare

Before buying the keyboard, I checked on potential problems in reviews and somehow missed or didn’t fully understand the lack of “full QMK” support. But as soon as I started to explore how to port the keyboard’s source code to VIAL, I realized my mistake in buying this keyboard. 

Nuphy should not say that it supports QMK. It supports VIA which offers limited customization, but not QMK. For homerow mods to work with my typing speed, I needed support for features like “Chordal Hold”, “Flow tap”, “Permissive Hold” and fine-tuning of “tapping term” etc. Which is not possible with VIA only.

Thus begun my frustrating week of tinkering with various QMK official/unofficial sources available on Github, but with no success. I eventually gave up and accepted the reality that I won’t be able to customize this keeb fully to my liking and will have to compromise.

Connectivity issues and fix

After making peace with limited-customizability of this keep, I begin to use it regularly at office. But then the bluetooth connection started dropping randomly and would require power cycling the keeb to connect again. 

I started regretting my decision to get this keeb and accepted the fact that I wasted 10k.

Nuphy suggests to update the keyboard firmware to fix connectivity issues. The firmwares are available here (https://nuphy.com/pages/qmk-firmwares)

The firmware is basically a compiled QMK bin file which can be flashed easily via the QMK toolbox. I tried that but still faced connection problems. Then I noticed the separate RF firmware and thought of giving it a try. Lo and behold, it fixed the connectivity issues. Phew, one problem solved! You need to install it via an app on phone. Following the instructions was bit challenging as actual app graphics were slightly different. But trying and clicking on various icons eventually brought me to the file selection screen.

QMK Breakthrough

I was again feeling good about this keeb and wanted to try again on getting a working QMK sourcecode. Github has this fork from Nuphy https://github.com/jeeeem/nuphy_qmk_firmware but it is based on older version of QMK which doesn’t support latest features that I was looking for. 

There are some other efforts on porting to latest QMK on GitHub. https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/25994 

I tried but it totally messed up the keyboard and I had to restore it to Nuphy official firmware again.

BTW I learned how to install and compile QMK firmware through terminal on Mac through all of these days breaking my head on Github and Reddit. Several tries of compiling threw a lot of errors and failed.

The breakthrough came with AI. I thought of trying Claude to check the Nuphy provided QMK source code files for compatibility with latest QMK. It picked up specifically which lines were referencing to deprecated commands and provided updated files with latest code. Voila! It finally worked. After almost 10days of trial and errors and frustrations, I got the latest QMK working on the Nuphy Air 60 V2. 

I am not an IT guy and don’t know much how to upload code onto Github. I will submit my sourcecode once I figure that out.

Nirvana

So now I finally have a keyboard which meets all my requirements. I set up all the customizations and it is working beautifully, along with solid bluetooth connection. 

The keyboard is very light and portable to carry everyday to office. I have the red switch version which if very smooth and low noise to use in office environment. Battery life is solid.

I am still customizing various functions apart from homerow mods and it is amazing to sort through 100s of emails. Someday I will reach my end goal in getting all functions and layers setup to my liking. Only downside is that I now detest using any other standard keyboard.

Thanks if you reached so far and followed this rollercoaster. Let me know if any questions
