Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

I'm trying to not use mouse, but the keyboard instead. So mouse movement, scroll and clicks are mapped in keys in a convenient layer.
It took me like a week to get used to ortholinear arrangement. But I've never type really fast in my life anyways.
I'm definitely not faster, but my writs stay more relaxed and are almost always still.
You can type on this? I think I'd die trying to change at this point in my life. Looks cool though.
And there in lies the apprehension I have for getting into mechanical keyboards for myself. I can't even type quickly, what is the point in me getting a keyboard that is meant to feel good to type on quickly?
But, fear not, if you just want a keyboard to skip a dedicated mouse, Lenovo has something for you.
Very nice! I have a JJ40 and a Drop v6 Planck that I use. I ended up wanting to learn to touch type as well, and ended up just switching to the Colemak layout in the process to break the bad typing habits that I developed with QWERTY.
ZDA 🤌
Looks good! Always nice to see a fellow 40% enjoyer. Extra props for the effort to use the mouse functions- have you also tried to use vim with it? (I want to sit down and learn that sometime)
I use vim and tmux. I've trying to not use the mouse since long ago. Now I have a moderate success. Most of the time I don't, except for photography edition, where this keyboard is a nightmare lol
Looks great, where are the key caps from?
Aliexpress. I buy every keyboard stuff from there.
Looks great! How do you handle special characters and numbers? Layer changing all the way or not needed in your day-to-day operations?
