At what speed you type and how many mistakes?

Just wanted to understand the reason behind making easily accessible large key as backspace instead of enter

Just swap out the bottom plate with full plates and stick some angled bricks...

This is better.

What's the issue with Candykeys? Asking because I plan on maybe ordering some stuff from them...

There's no way anyone would actually put a power button there. That's like the number one mispressed key lol

I will put this in simpler terms: “am I allowed to say I am into Porsches even though I can’t afford one?”. Ofc you are.

Gatekeepers will be everywhere but most people actually just like to have a talk about the stuff they like, if they also have what they like it is a bonus.

Currently I am using a (poorly) modded Redragon cause I find it better than my Corsair until I finish the uni year and get a Q series board. Does it mean I am not allowed to like keyboards until I get the Keychron? Ofc not

True that, unfortunately in my config+shipping+tax its way above 500

I guess that’s what happens when the commenter does not have a dad figure and resorts to the internet

Hey dude, I've dived in on the budget end of the hobby too

All you need is a soldering iron, a computer capable of reading a usb drive and a text editor like notepad. Anything else you can either scrounge or get pretty cheap

I've made myself a macropad that feels very satisfying to type on and am partway through a 40% keyboard.

And Ironmouse is a vtuber... like an actual person. Some people can be so rude...

Was about to mention this too

It’s the best.

Oh nice. Guess this gives me a reason to open a bonsai set. Thank you for the recommendation.

If you know how to solder you could even make your own keyboard/macropad.

its really easy.

just get a broken mech-board that you can gut for parts. [you can get em really really cheap]

and get a arduino.

{if you have access to a 3d printer, print a case}

then handwire your macropad

at most you will have spend 10$ in total [of which half goes to the arduino]

You can start where you need to start. It's not about money. I've seen loads of posts in here where people have modified really cheap boards, and the results have been impressive. I am not talking about people who just buy cheap stuff off amazon, but people who have perhaps a cheap, office type mechanical board, and have spent a lot of time and effort modifying it to be better than it was. This is more impressive than posting photos of the latest thing you have bought. This hobby needn't be expensive at all. Id rather see someone spending time and effort on something than just buying a Key Cult. Spending money doesn't need skill and passion.

TL;DR?

>Am I considered into the hobby even if I don't have the money for it

Yes.

IMO, your interest and appreciation is what matters far more as an enthusiast.

Otherwise what could work (as an anti caps lock method)

Left control moves to capslock

Fn + shift for capslock

| \ key becomes backspace (fn makes it delete)

Old left control becomes | \

That keeps it somewhat natural (apart from the |\ key but either you barely use it and so it doesn't really matter where it is or you use it quite a bit so you'd get used to it).

I won it too! Only thing i dont like about it is the stabs :/ im definitely getting some new ones and some lube. Otherwise its a great budget kit :)
