Reply to comment by Nickrii in Very disappointed by peter_picture

Yeah, I only now realise this. But I managed to solve my issues anyway, if you check my other comments. I will probably buy some artisans or blank keycaps to swap the ones not fitting. I don't want to buy another kit because I planned this build specifically around it. ITA ISO sets are very rare, and finding a good one with pleasant colours is quite the hassle.

What you probably bought:

https://www.keychron.com/collections/iso-ansi-jis-keycaps/products/iso-q1-k2-oem-dye-sub-pbt-keycap-set-blue?variant=39414490202201

That’s for the Q1 and K2 only. The box from Keychron is always the same regardless of what’s inside.

Currently they don’t have matching keycaps on offer for most of their K-series boards. Maybe you can still find them somewhere, though, because they used to be available less than a year ago. Alternatively you might find a fitting set from Glorious or a similar vendor.

Yep, it is Bauer 2, I don't know the difference between the Bauer and Bauer 2 :) I really love this layout and it works really well with the game I am playing (HOTS). With my retired Razer keyboard, I found myself pressing the windows key a lot during gameplay, which was pretty annoying.

Gotta say this keyboard is pretty cool but it is probably overkill for me :) During covid lockdown there weren't many options to pick from and when I got lucky for the raffle I pulled the trigger.

I also got treasure type-9 during the lockdown and I think that one looks even better. It is a 9-switch macro keyboard, that is going to be my next build.

Reply to Of all the switches I tried stock (pre-lubed), Cherry Clears have got to be the scratchiest MFers ever made. by cl4rkc4nt

Most cherry switches I’ve tried (blacks/browns/clears) are quite scratchy, but also wear in beautifully after a few thousand actuations.

In terms of most usable tactiles out of the box AEBoards Naevys are my favourite; great price, stock springs feel greet to me, and the tactile bump is enjoyable but not overwhelming.

Extra Comments:

  • This was inspired by Bongocat (Bongomat was an alternative name for this project), and the artist of the original meme (StrayRogue) has given their blessings
  • The second cat in the smaller keyboard coaster sizes is not meant to be readily visible during actual use (because it'll be covered by the keyboard). But it is there so that whenever you lift your keyboard you get a cute surprise!
