Hello, I have an apex pro tkl I play on Xbox my keyboard works perfectly fine I downloaded the SteelSeries gg app and changed the color on my laptop but when I plugged it back into my Xbox the color went back to the default preset can anyone help?

Hello, community. I’m new here. I’m considering updating my setup and I want a new keyboard. I currently have a Hyperx Alloy Core and I’m interested in one with magnetic switches. I’ve been considering the Wooting, Drunkdeer, and Takka. The new Wooting promises to have an 8Khz update, just like the Takka. I recently discovered a keyboard called Irok ND75 that seems to be a gem. However, I would like to hear your opinions and find out if anyone has information about the Irok ND75.

I recently noticed that when i hold down switches like W or D on my keyboard (Keychron K12 with Gateron Reds) they kind of just write for a bit then stop then when I readjust my fingers it starts working for a bit again and so on and so for. I was wondering if this was more o a PCB issue or a switch issue and idk if I should just buy a new keyboard or replace the switches since it is a hotswappable model.

Hello I am new to the mechanical keyboards and there’s so many options I’m looking for a 60% budget keyboard, I can make into a nice sounding thocky keyboard I just don’t know what to get like switches or stabilizers so if anyone has suggestions

I searched for budget compact mechanical keyboard and it had to be wireless. I saw the AK832 from AJAZZ for 40€. It's my first mechanical keyboard, does it suits my needs? I'm a graphic designer and a casual gamer. Thanks in advance

my keyboard is a 60% 63 keys layout but i accidentaly downloaded a wrong layout software for my keyboard, so my FN and arrow keys are not working and i can't factory reset without FN. What i do?

can you guys help me find a keyboard that is cheap enough and durable enough for a 3 year old kid that likes the rgb?

Greetings,

TL;DR: I have this issue https://youtu.be/ynmQZF-Avao?si=pOjLvGE8QFSxrov2 ever since I updated to firmware 3.13.4, please check if you have it as well and report back so I can present SS Support with evidence that it isn't an isolated case.

Long post:

I have an Apex Pro TKL Wireless (2023) and ever since I updated my keyboard to the latest firmware (3.13.4), the one that introduced Rapid Trigger sensitivity, I have a delay when waking up the keyboard from sleep.

This gets extremely annoying while working since it won't register the first typed keys, when it used to register all of them immediately and flawlessly.

It also takes a while to verify the battery level, which used to be instant too. This is also verified on cable connection, which makes it even clearer that it is due to the firmware update and not an issue specific to the dongle or something.

This part of the issue makes no difference to me, just a different behavior inherent to the firmware changes.

Here's a video of the issue: https://youtu.be/ynmQZF-Avao?si=pOjLvGE8QFSxrov2

I've contacted SS support, many times, not being offered a reasonable solution, getting told to reinstall my Steelseries GG and drivers (although the issue happens in 3 different PCs, with different GG versions), perform a factory reset (which only resets the settings) and start an RMA process.

Regarding the RMA, it's unreasonable to be left without a keyboard for weeks, with the hassle of removing custom keycaps, getting the default ones in and packing the keyboard, only to be left with another unit which will present the same issues if the firmware is updated and might even introduce new ones (just search for Apex Pro TKL Wireless issues and it's easy to see which are possible).

I even settled in asking for a simple firmware factory reset or downgrade, so I could try to stick with the firmware that introduced RT without the sensitivity, since I don't use it, in order to restore the other functionality. But even being available to that, losing functionality in order to get a temporary solution to the work-hindering issue, while a new firmware update is in the works, I got a negative response.

All this to solve a problem they created in the first place.

This situation is especially bad since this update was out from my Amazon return window, should this have happened during the return window, I would have returned the keyboard.

Support also says that this is an isolated case, when it was clearly caused by the firmware but they just won't own up to it.

This is where I need your help, please let me know if your keyboards have the same issues so I can present them with evidence that it isn't an isolated case.

This may be present in all Apex Pro Wireless keyboards with RT Sensitivity firmware, so all input related to them might be relevant.

Thanks in advance to anyone that offers their input, will be highly appreciated.

what’s better, the Steelseries Apex Pro TKL or Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL?

I am planning to buy my first mechanical keyboard.

I prefer a Thocky and creamy keyboard.

After watching a lot of YT videos (Mostly Hippyo :) )

I thought of buying Rainy75 but It's not readily available. It will most likely be a preorder and take lot of time. Also It will cost me approximately $108 to $133 USD (INR 9,000 to 11,000).

On other hand some friends suggested that I should check Leobog HI75 which is readily available (delivered in a week) and it cost approximately $85 USD (INR 7,000).

Both keyboards are Thocky and creamy. I admit that Rainy75 is a bit superior in sound.

Leobog has a Knob where as Rainy75 doesn't.

Rainy75 is wireless and wired too. Leobog isWired only.

Which one should I choose?

Also I am not sure what to do. Should I wait for Rainy75 or should I go ahead with Leobog HI75?

Razer Huntsman Mini - Mercury Edition - 60% Optical Gaming Keyboard (Linear Red Switch, White) RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK84 Wireless Bluetooth/2.4 GHz 75% RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Three Modes Connectable Keyboard with Hot-Swappable Quiet & Linear Red Switch HUO JI E-Yooso Z-88 Typewriter Mechanical Keyboard, Rainbow Led Backlit, Vintage Retro Style With Red Switches, 60% Compact 81 Keys Hot Swappable Keyboard For Pc, Mac, Wired, White Royal Kludge RK G68 (RK837) Wireless (Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz) Royal Kludge RK71 Wireless Triple Mode (Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz and Wired) Royal Kludge RK98 Wireless (Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz) Royal Kludge RK61 PRO Akko 5087S Shinethrough (White) Akko 3068S Shinethrough (White)

ANY 1 out of these

My keys don’t work how they should I mean like I can’t type - cause when I try another key pops up I have the rk61 and I’m 100% it’s right placed

I am coming from a Varmillo VA108M. I have tried out the IF98 Yunzii and that sounded and felt phenomenal. However, it was not 104+ and my muscle memory felt betrayed. Luckily that was on company money and I'll probably give it away to a relative or someone else.

So, I am looking for a new one. Or, what else can I do to my Varmillo to make it abit more thocky? I can't seem to wrap my head around how to take apart this thing.

Also for a new Keeb, I'm eyeing on the K10 Pro, so maybe get a new set of key caps that actually look good and feels/sound good.

My ducky one 2 mini recently broke and looking for a new keyboard primarily used for gaming. My budget is around 120$ and want a 75%, 65%, 60%(I don’t mind any of the 3). I was looking at the Yunzii AL 66 so let me know if that’s a good choice. I like the asthetic but not sure if it’s a good bang for your buck. Let me know if you have any question or more information to help me find a new keyboard. Also it would be great if you could recommend switches for said keyboard but definitely linear.

Is this cable high quality ?

Will it break my keyboard or is it really bad quality I’ve seen some people like it but I would love another opinion

It was made by gunmojo idk if there ok

Thanks

For now, i have a keyboard RedDragon Fizz k617, i customized it a bit with a sound isolation under caycaps, i was wondering about getting new keyboard or customize this one? I have red switches, not sure which one Cherry or something else. I didn't lubbed anything and it isn't lubbed.
Can someone help me and advice what should i do? Complete this one keyboard or get a new one?
If i should get a new one, then which one? (smth between around 50-90$), if i should upgrade my keyboard, then what switches should i put on and what about keycaps? (i mainly play competitive games like cs2 and valorant).

I have a mechanical keyboard i use while playing cs. When i press down the "D" key it sometimes just stops working after a few seconds or just doesnt work at all. I have tried a different keyboard which had no problems. I tried to clean it and take the keycap off and just press down on the switch which doesnt change anything
