i think a lot of people are not aware of this, but the nkro feature in qmk is not turned on by default to prevent potential issues, even if it's enabled in config.h. (the standard report is 6-key rollover) another define, i.e., #define FORCE_NKRO, must be present to make it turned on automatically.

a better way is to map a key to NK_TOGG, so that you can turn the feature on and off, if you have a nkro-enabled board.

For better or for worse, I believe the hype of this whole hobby is on a downtrend.

A GMK set that was so hot a few years ago, Striker:
https://en.zfrontier.com/collections/invent...=44107364041019

Extras still available 12 days after they were released. This would have been unheard of last year.

right, it's very quiet everywhere. you don't need to pay attention to observe that some of those who used to create hypes have stopped for quite a while now, while some have diversified into non-mkb-related merch, etc.

there are ups and downs in everything, and this is not only happening to this hobby.

it's a hobby anyway. i just continue to syok sendiri. i have resumed my routines to collect parts also, but tbh, not many interesting new stuff for me these days.

people especially nerds had too much money due to the covid lockdown. Now people losing jobs,cost living rising, and the first thing people will do is not buy overpriced plastics!

Goodlah, hopefully prices come down. I just picked up a Candybar southpaw for usd179. Shipping is crazy though.
They also had a portico75 for usd79.

they probably still have a lot to spend, but they understand what priority means.

next year is more challenging by the way

it's nice that you got what you want haha i hope those who like tkc kits will grab something from them also

.. wtf

I saw that news as well and was thinking, really curious to feel how to use a KB that has a display underneath it.

it's for hypes. i wanna get hyped too, but not with this.

no idea what is this hahaha

Casing very pretty though. Will prolly be flipped for 1000 like their mice.
Where do I throw my money?

overly engineered, with nothing useful. on top of that, they introduce risks like failures of display/cpu/gpu, and replacement options after that.

obviously the makers are not from mkb community. if they are, the board will not come out.

that's the only thing that i can think of, a collectible item.

it's another typical example of smart people realizing dumb ideas.

BTW, you can get Moondrops DAC/Amp KB on Drop.com if anyone is interested.

Guys thinking to get my first mkb..
I know I need a full size with number pad.
Wireless if possible as I don't like wire..
Do these mkb reliable? My current wireless keyboard used over 10 years still good condition but not mkb..

What price can I expect or brand with below requirement
Option 1
Wireless full size with number pad (brown switch if possible, worry too disturbing to other for the sound )
No RGB (I see like all selling rgb)
Not sure if hot swap price different alot?

Option 2
Same as option one but with RGB. (how long these rgb can turn on before we charge it)

Option 3
Same as option 2 but Wired RGB

I tried to search found a few my liking but don't have number pad.. Susah la I mao kerja excel press numberpad and arrow button... Haha

Here: https://world.taobao.com/dianpu/202287946.h....27aa7661i1UxSV

price range around RM 500-1k depending on model and specs

hmmm let me check and see if i have alternative. I thought i able to get one around price of 1xx - 2xx (depend if i wanted wireless or wired).
I saw some Armageddon cost around 1xx which quite comfort. I don't want buy so expensive one and regret later cause i just want to try and see if i like it or not.
I probably want brown switch as i think blue will have noisy sound

RK860 is rm217 at Lazada.

Some modding will be required to optimize it. But I think the start up cost is more up your alley.
