That is my favorite part of the board too.

Either a crime or a fix depending on your view of clicky switches

Actually the lube was so much that it formed a second wall around the stem, so it's like a cherry MX brown

To answer your question - yes, this is a fine keyboard for your use. Keychron keyboards have a switch in the back that allows you to change between Windows and Mac setups. It is also can be upgraded. I think you will be fine. Could you do better? Maybe. But I think this meets your needs.

Nah, it's the Dell U2520D

B E A U T I F U L .... well done ..

I’ve been daily driving a Keychron K4 for about a year now. Has all my numpad needs and I like the extra bit of compacted-ness. Keychron boards typically have a dedicated switch to flip between windows and Mac, and the switches are usually hot swap, I switched out the alphanumerics to Drop Halo Trues and the numpad keys are box jades.

Wtf am I looking at

To be fair, anything is compatible if you just try hard enough.

If you can stretch your budget just a little bit more and can wait a little longer you should see what qwertykeys puts out. They announced a full sized board is coming in the first half of the year but we don’t know exactly when yet. Their boards usually don’t include switches or caps, but the most recent qk75 had an option to and it pretty much outclasses everything else at that price point. Anyway, worth investigating and considering if you can.

Got the same one myself. Black/White goes well with everything😮‍💨

yes i know this is mk not cubers

love the flag of greece

If a dedicated numpad is the only reason why you need a full-size, you can always get a separate 20%. That way you have the numpad when you need it, but you can enjoy the benefits of a smaller footprint when you don’t.

Just a suggestion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Full-size is less common than TKLs, 75%, 60%, 40% and even smaller in this hobby, so you may be limiting your options unnecessarily.

Also if you’re interested in trying out new switches in the future, make sure whatever PCB you get is HOT-SWAP.

imo outemu blues are horrible no matter what you do lmao

Yeah I seem to recall something about that in the video I saw, but I am not opposed to just getting an assortment of small screws to compensate if need be. The style is just such my jam that I am willing to go through the extra effort for that!

i think most people dont know that blues were orginally pre-lubed to avoid the click sound and the jacket was just to introduce hysteresis (might be misremembering tho)

i think then people asked to not lube so they could get audible feedback like the typewriters and buckling springs etc had/have

Is that an HP monitor?

Needs NSFW tag

That case looks very nice.

Looks good! How do you like the keycaps?

BastardKb has some daughter boards with a pro micro footprint + footprints for jst connectors and power switches. That was the route I was gonna go (they’re open sourced on GitHub)

Et pour les keycaps ISO FR, un mec a fait un listing ici

Neat read, thank you. It's really cool hearing about what people are into about vintage keyboards!
