Hi sifus, I'm currently using a hot swappable 3pin outemu box red Wireless Mech KB. But unfortunately the switches are crap. Can't even last.. From time to time the switches get sticky and unresponsive. Kinda tired of this switch and worried even if buy new to replace also same case. Been looking for alternatives like Gateron's, Kailh's but their pins are thick, couldn't fit into the stock socket in my KB.

Anyone knows if there are any other similar switches that has the same connectors as Outemu's?

in terms of key layouts, it depends on individual typing habits, the will and time to adapt imo.

Just finished a "budget" Keychron Q1 Knob version build.
Went with a blue on blue color scheme:

- Keychron Q1 Navy Blue Barebone ANSI
- Akko Macaw Doubleshot PBT keycaps
- Gazzew Bobba U4 silents (tactility without the thock)
- completely stock, no mods or lubing whatsoever
Short initial review from a non enthusiast:
- Really liking the build quality so far. This thing is heavy! The anodized finish is also good.
- aviator style cable not included only a straight usbc to usbc one (with a usb-a adapter). ( I consider this a plus as I am not a fan of the coiled cable look.)
- the stock stabs are really good enough. Zero rattling and really consistent, then again I am coming from a basic WASDKeyboard.
- really nice type feel. ( this may be due to the switches I used. It feels really solid with very little play coming from cherry brown switches)
- the cutouts for the keys feels a little too wide maybe to accommodate different keycap styles.

Total damage < USD $300

Sorry no pics atm - potato F3 camera.

RM359 each 

i think you can probly get a cheap mkb using the same amount.

but if you're rich and got money to splurge, then that's a different story 

Yup, that's one of the option. Another is K4. There is wired mode. Not having 2.4Ghz is not that bad.

I am also lookin for a wireless keyboard, so far based on recommendation here already check out keychron k8 or k4, only thing is some review saying might need a wrist rest to type comfortably. Any other brand can recommend?

Trying to find a filco  wireless but seems like nobody is selling

Anyone is using Akko or ikbc keyboard? How is it compare to Keychorn ?

Any recommendation of other switches, on par with gateron yellow?

who want some boba u4t 62g got stock at pantheonkeys

buy buy buy!! if no buy rugi lol

anyone notice that the gray and blue, the knob colors does not match the case?

is there a way to change this.... so damn annoying.

going down the rabbit hole

why is south facing PCB so impt? I see only 1 benefit is of Cherry profile keycaps compatibility.
Manufacturers can remove RGB from PCB and save $ since most user wanting the south facing layout not using the RGB feature?

well the switch cant fit permanently it will come off if u pull a bit on the keycaps    but then if i use others switch that i have with me it wont come off easy 
i have tried with boba, panda, emerald and even my frankenswitch 

another thing about this keebs is most of the keys are south facing except for the numeric is north facing ..not sure why also

wow ... you will forget about that already ...then surprise hahaha

Atlantis should be shipping soon right? Still waiting for my KAT Space Dust 

since China has a serious lockdown that are still on-going, i think this is expected. some stuff from my previous batch at taobao are still not deliverable.

right, if you liked it just go ahead. new sets are cheaper, because after-market price are usually targeted to collectors.
oh what's the original printing technology? double-shot and triple-shot are relatively better imo.

for printing technologies, i stick to double/triple-shot and dye-sub only. however, dye-sub is vulnerable to physical scratches by hard objects. just be careful when dye-sub key caps are used, especially when you pull them out of drawers. i have a set of cheapo multi-side thick dye-sub set that i like. few key caps were scratched when i didn't pay attention enough haha (the set is cheap, but it's unobtainable now)

in terms of typing feel, especially when you're used to touch typing, there are plenty of good but cheap cherry-profile alternatives. they might not be pretty, but their physical characteristics are ok to make good typing feels. (cheap sets have their own issues like increased chance of warped keys; overly tight/loosed stem holes; etc. however, most of the times, these issues are fixable, and don't affect usage)

from the look of samples, i think it's a good choice that they decided to switch to double-shot. as i suspected, such a colorway requires multi-side dye-sub, which is less optimal due to the potential risks of being scratched.

just pick the best profile for your own comforts. i stick to cherry profile because it's the most comfortable profile for me.

yeah haha

i'm curious, but what do you not like about cherry profile key cap sets?
