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).

This is my sixth keyboard (fourth custom). The experience has been extremely good considering the mostly stock setup.
Though I am going to stick with this for a while, I do know my next will be a split ergo. Do share your suggestions for a wireless split ergo.
That wrist rest is amazing! I mean, obviously the keeb is nice, but that wrist rest...
Haha. I agree. Orca’s wrist rest elevates even the most boring setups.
I agree! Right now, I have an old 80s computer drawer, which I use for my monitor and the keyboard. It's definitely not "pretty", but I love the antique look. I'll try to post a picture later.
Old meets new.
I look forward to the picture of your setup. :-)
Once I get home, I'll snap and post. I'll let you know here that I posted it, so it doesn't get missed haha
Fair warning, my kb isn't super special, but it's super comfortable to type on.
There are very few objectively good things in this hobby, as everything boils down to preference.
If your keyboard is super comfortable, then it is ticking the right boxes. :-)
A truest thing has not been said hahaha
I posted it. Here is is for easy find https://infosec.pub/post/345723
I hope the link works for you. I'm on infosec.pub
I am unable to engage there. It is asking me to log in.
Regardless, the C1 is a great choice. With the modification you made, I can see it being super comfortable to type on. :-)
I will see if I can post a few questions in your post about the Glove80.
Weird. I posted it on this community. I just went directly to https://lemmy.ml/c/mechanicalkeyboards and can't find it. Still getting used to Lemmy :/
Tight, I like it!
i've got a split ortho keyboard called corne (you can check my post history for assembly and final result pics), and for a split ergonomic keyboard i'd strongly recommend going for a wireless version (if available) and i wouldn't recommend ortho layout unless you're super committed (if you ever type on smth like a laptop, switch back and forth between ortho and non-ortho is a huge pain, while switching between split and non-split is perfectly fine)
You bring up the right concerns.
I am aware of the pains with switching to an ortholinear layout, and have experienced it when I briefly used a friend’s Sofle. Unfortunately, most of the open source designs are ortholinear.
A layout similar to Corne is what I have in mind as well as I hope to reuse most of my existing keycap sets.
Very clean!
Thank you. I was aiming for a clean and minimal aesthetic with the setup.
I plan to post my entire desk setup on a relevant community. I am not sure if there is a community yet to share desk setups similar to the battlestation subreddit.
Have you found any battlestation subs on lemmy or kbin yet?
I haven’t found an active one yet. Have you?
I may try posting in one of the dormant ones.
Haven't found any just buildapc but it's not that active yet.
Ooh, that's clean!
What's the '00' key for? Layer or just two zeroes?
Thanks.
Yes, I do use it to switch layers.
Having said that, it would be pretty fun if it just inserted two zeroes. :D
Volume knob in the top right corner?
Yep. Rotating the encoder knob controls the volume, while pressing it toggles play/pause.
I love it.
That is a thing of beauty.
Indeed! Thank you.
Please do share your setup!
I use a laptop with the stock keyboard. Which I realise is probably sacrilegious here.
Hahaha. Do you plan to get into the hobby? Or are you here out of interest? :-)
Just came across it on all, honestly. While I love the idea of the hobby I don't type anywhere near enough to make it worth it
That is a fair outlook. :-)

Love the wood wrist rest
Forgot to mention the two accessories in the picture.
Yeah, those are doing some heavy lifting for the aesthetic here.
I remember looking for a wrist rest a bit back, but it was hard to find something that was a combination of:
This one is real sleek.
Real wood and absence of/minimal branding is what I was looking for too for the aesthetic I was aiming.
I can say the wood’s finishing has aged really well over the three or so years of use.
Thank you for this! I was going to ask about your palm rest.
No problem. Glad I could help, and induce some engagement within the community. :-)
Look forward to a post of your setup/experience with the hobby.
Any info on the wrist rest? Does it warp at all?
I have mentioned about the wrist rest in another comment of mine here. I bought it on Etsy.
As for your other question, I have not noticed any warping in the board in my 3 years of use.
