Reply to 75% Barebones Keyboard by whatthefkmane

Do you mind waiting on group buys? Zoom75 is set to open late March or early April. Seems to tick your boxes, has 2.4ghz wireless, hotswappable, aluminium plate most likely will be offered as an add on, white.

Comes with knob too and can be customised to have an lcd screen.

I've been waiting for it myself.

If not, QK75 is now on the way to various vendors and will be selling extra units soon-ish.

If you want wireless but still a hobby-level keyboard, you’re pretty much looking at QwertyKeys’s QK75 or the Keychron Q1 Pro, or whatever the 75% K Pro series is, off the top of my head. Don’t know if Meletrix’s Zoom or Monsgeek’s M1 can be wireless (or are available)

An aluminum plate isn’t the heaviest plate, but it’s heavier than plastic plates like POM or PC. the weight will mostly come from the case and/or weight though, not the plate. Although a brass plate in a plastic case will contribute a decent amount of weight.

Your limiting factor is wireless. I’d encourage you to do some more research and see what 75% options are around right now. It sounds like you have no real idea what you want because all the other things you’ve listed (i.e., heavy, plate options, hotswappable) are basically standard now

Reply to comment by mizzrym91 in Lily58, bit more exciting than my old 75% keyboard. by Kattnos

But I also want the keyboard in question to have some kind of trackball/pad for convenience, as I am uncomfortable with mouse key emulation and have heard that QMK uses the unpopular exponential scrolling. I feel like a site for helping me get used to this would be able to eliminate this though. What about the Lotus58 anyway? Would I benefit more from a low-profile setup? Do I have a number row or not?
