One big thing I never truly grasped about this community. I've experienced people get custom orderd vehicles with 6 months to spear in the time it takes some of you to get caps.

I thought about low profile for a little bit but then I saw that they work with low profile switches and keycaps only and those are too similar to laptops which I would not like.
And as I explained, all the other 3 mechanical keyboards were fine to me. My hands were flat on them or a very little bit angled ofc ourse but with this GMMK 2, my hand need to be held really high all the time which causes more strain.
I'm not sure yet.

That metal keycap on the right is probably more expensive than my entire keyboard xD

just try soldering. it’s honestly not that hard and it’s a big part of the hobby and i find it relaxing. maybe you will too🙂
SimplyJosho t1_j6p153w wrote
Returning it might be a good decision for you. There are low profile mechanical keyboards, I know keychron has some low profile boards. You can can also look into Choc keyboards. If you decide to get Choc, it'll likely have to be very custom. (You'd likely have to pick a PCB, pick a case, maybe a micro controller, and you might have to solder.)

KAT Refined took forever but turned out great IMO. There's hope!

Reply to comment by AnakinPotter20 in Mechanical Keyboard too tall, uncomfortable, wrist tenses up! What do? by Cori91
Good call! I'll try using some random stuff, see if that helps. I'm just not sure if the wrist rest is the best choice here, why not just use a lower height board and it's done, wrist rest and carpal tunnel avoided. I'm just not sure yet, buit thanks for the advice, I'll try it out.
+ I like to move around my keyboard, tilting the right side inward towards me while I game, and when I type I put it in the middle as everybody else. Not sure if a wrist rest would be too annoying to move around too. Meh.

Well I rest my forearm on the table and I still feel the strain in the muscle as it pushes down on to the table. As I use force to press keys it starts to strain even more. That's why I think it's because it's too tall but could be my bad, its just interesting because I had no issues with other boards as I said in the OP.
The Redragon Kumara with Cherry keycaps were not causing any strain, or the g613 or the K120 or the Keychron k4v1. Only this board does this.

Many layouts similar to this that are readily available.

At least you have an excuse.
I actually own several really nice cameras, and can never get motivated enough to actually pull one out, so I shoot crappy pics on my phone anyway.
