No this isn't an ad. Fuck their keyboards and their shitty software and horrific customer support

Last two times I've bought a keyboard, I struggled to find one without LCD. Like really. So idk if that's on the demand or the offer.

Literally how.

Meanwhile I have two BTC dome with slider keyboards I've picked up before their price got hiked on the retro market (people figured out they're pretty good keyboards and some have pretty good keyboard matrixes, and don't even have membranes (unless you're the tech illiterate that calls the rubber domes as "membranes")).

I swear by das keyboard. I bought mine over a decade ago, it's still going strong. I guess my only problem is, they don't ever get my money because I'm not buying new keyboards.

The entry level cheap as fuck logitech black keyboard thank you! You won't get my razr naga though I'm too used to it

TBH It's really hard to find a keyboard without that "feature" unless you build one yourself or buy a cheap plastic bargain bin keyboard.

One thing that annoys me with RGB lit peripherals is that the "rainbow" default mode is meant to advertise that it is RGB so you know when you buy it you can easily make it the color scheme you want. But too many people leave it on that default mode after they've bought it which makes you wonder if they even know they can customize it.

I have a 30+ year old IBM Model M as my desktop keyboard, and a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro from the 90s that's connected with a long cable from my PC to my bedside nook. So so so much better than Bluetooth or RGB vomit. That said, to each their own!

Got the look right and everything with this meme

Wow am I the only one who’s had good experiences with them? Ran an apex 3 and sensei raw for years and loved it so much I made the upgrade to the rival 310 and apex pro, which I’ve been happy with ever since. Granted I don’t use their software cuz there’s open source stuff that’s better, so no comment on the engine, but otherwise it’s been flawless.

I've had good experiences with their wired mice + soft, but I've never had a keyboard from them

Growing up is realizing you don't want RGB products

I bought such a keyboard because it was a cheap mechanical keyboard, they cost around 200 euro for a good one because we have a hyper specific layout :'(

[–] NickwithaC 1 points 1 month ago

I'll get the Ducky one 3 when it's half off. There is no reason for it to cost £120

Ahh of course no, but does it sound like food? Because if so, I would love to type on inedible cronches.

I got that 8bitdo retro mechanical keyboard and it is great. I don't know how it rates against more expensive keyboards but it was well worth the ~$100 (plus obviously I just had to get the numpad too)

[–] JusticeForPorygon 2 points 1 month ago

Came here to say this. Only downside is that it's not backlit, but it's the only genuine mechanical keyboard I've ever owned and I've got zero complaints.

I did not get the mouse though lol.
