Keychron too expensive , actually not for gaming much , just on office typing , need number pad.
The Aula F108 only 6 months warranty which I feel a bit too unpractical and base on China warranty.
At least with 1 year , logitech 3 Years even for cheap keyboard.
Heard comment on poor packing without a single bubble wrap and fail switch.If fail few switch only, I don't think they will honor an exchange.

Can recommend some non MKB full size keyboard with Bluetooth wireless even though this is MKB thread ? Sorry for asking too much , really hard to search. thanks

My 4th keeb is here, Monsgeek M1 v5. Got it at discounted price below RM250.

First time using a keeb that doesn't need screws for the casing.

Will be changing out the switch and keycaps later on. Still deciding between Akko Rosewood and Vertex v1.

Yeah sorry cant make any reco for membrane type keeb, I guessing the usual brands: logitech, steel series, might have them. The benefit of mech keeb is the replacement of switches if they spoil.

So there is not even 1 membrane keyboard out there that support Bluetooth and wireless dongle ?
But there is no mech keeb full size with prefer standard colour.

Another question is Which type of keyboard able to set Initial Pressure , Actuation Force , Bottom-Out Force on the software ?
There is a Aula keyboard also the same look prefer but I am not familiar with the key switch press.
It pre fix with this type of switch.

Can explain a bit because what I see here I will accidentally trigger other side of the keypress because it's too sensitive.Is there a way to customize it have a 45 gf min 45±8 gf ? so it wouldn't accidentally press ? Change spring ? I don't want to spend to change the entire key switch.

Got, he didn't say don't have. As he said, try the usual brands. Most folks here are not interested so we wouldn't be able to recommend one to you.


Closest thing to that would be keyboards that use magnetically-adjustable switches. Considering that you don't want to spend money replacing individual switches - it's probably a type of keyboard you would never spend your money on.

You need to look through reviews of springs with a force curve that suits you. Sounds like you want a spring with a slow force curve. Easy way is to just go with a switch with a heavier spring, or a stiff tactile bump, maybe even a clicky.

I understand since it's a mechanical keyboard thread , asking non for membrane isn't that appropriate.
What I want is the actuation force , such as when I pressing the key , I need at lease 40% only register a keypress.The reason is sometimes I press the next key accidentally and it trigger a key especially when I press Shift , sometimes will touch the Window key , Tab will touch Q , number pad may touch the edge side.
There is no way to test a keyboard sensitivity trigger actuation force even I go MKB shop.How to test without plugging into the PC ?
In your opinion if a Pressure 28±5 gf force 36±5 gf to this 53±3 gf 58±3 gf , will it easily trigger a next button ? Never own a MKB so I can't comment much.Hope you can help a bit for me to confirm.Thanks.

How much is tactile brown switch cost per key ? Actually how many type of Brown switch there is tactile ? Really confuse when searching where there ate so many switch to choose with funny china name.Can fit into this board ?

Actually you can find plenty in shopee & laz, those China branded keebs that imitate mech keeb. Usually you can spot them if they dont say what switches these uses or underside of keypads are full RGB.
A quick search found this https://www.lazada.com.my/products/langtu-3...6901455116.html

However most of them are China brand which seems to put you off coz they do come with little to no warranty (sellers from China after all). The one I found above, Langtu, does have a good rep for their mech keeb which is quite midrange in that category, also their gaming mouse has solid rep but I cannot vouch their membrane stuff.

You want customisable setting only mech keeb can do that lar, and fully switch customise via software will have to go with magnetic HE keebs. These arent any cheap btw. Otherwise you can try to get hotswappable keeb then find the switch with the exact function profile you want.

When starting out I do find myself incompatible with linear type switches ie Red, but I also found Blues are a bit too stiff clicky & noisy, then I finally switched to Kailh Box Whites. Its all about trial & error to find which switch to your preference.

You can forgive the lack of replies to you coz this tered is about mech keeb after all and I guess switching to asking membrane keeb puts off others.

Easy is relative. No one can tell you how much is too much for you. Are you buying keyboard without switches? That is good, most prebuilts don't come with heavy switch options.

I have no idea what keyboard that is, but it looks like it uses Outemu hotswap sockets or similar. You should find out what sockets it uses, and research what switch brands fit it. There are a few combinations of switch+socket that are not compatible. Not many, but just do your research.

If you already have the keyboard, or are set on buying it, get a switch sampler pack. Something like this Pack 2 (out of stock) would be what I would recommend you start with:
https://pantheonkeys.com/products/gazzew-sw...lJChyL-gi0CVtNI

Start trying switches in your board. Use something like Switch Hitter to test:

Brown is just a colour. How many tactile switches are there? Too many.

nah, its fine to ask here. this community (at least here) not that extreme till will ignore you.
but recent year there less and less good membrane keyboard, where i looking for too.

i long ago using Steelseries Apex M800 (membrane), then i switch to Tecware Phamtom 104 (sleeve mechanical, and overall it suck), changing again to Logitech G213 (membrane).
G213 with some reason certain key need to press harder after like 8 month of use (prolly just recent year logitech quality just into the drain)
after that using monsgeek M1 wired, slightly issue with it as it will randomly skip key like: morning to monin. so i throw all switch that come with (greywoodv3) and rebuild it..now better but problem still persist so i keep it in office.

home use currently i use wave75, consider endgame keyboard for me. (no stupid knob, and it got delete key on top backspace, just its 2.4ghz wireless kinda suck, i use it with wire)
if m1 triggered me more, i will buy another wave75 and throw away m1 lol


*****separate*****
tldr?
maybe we concluded certain keyboard kit+certain switch will be endgame, but maybe not for you as preference will be person to person.
