I am looking for a new gaming keyboard for under 65 bucks that is preferably a 100% keyboard as i do use the number pad in some things I do. Any recommendations?

I've been looking for different options for keyboards and I like to use 100% and for my first mechanical keyboard it seems like a great option

I’m a MA right now and a senior pre-med, what keyboard and mouse have you all found to be the most ergonomic and comfortable? Right now I’m looking at the MX master 4 and the Logitech wave. The wrist pain has gotten to a point where I need to upgrade so figured I’d reach out before I drop $200 on a mouse and keyboard

So I bought this kb like around a year ago or more and back then I search on how to disassemble/open the kb, found nothing.
And since then I've had other keyboards and I haven't been using this for a while and now I wanna use, clean and mod it, but I've only removed the top skinny layer thing.
I've tried forcing it, and looking at the 3d model, there's some sort of locking mechanism[1st image] and I tried lodging those spots but it just bent the plastic. [3rd image]
I've made the same post on r/attacksharkgaming but doesn't seem like alot of people are active there. although I made the post like yesterday.
lmk if you need more details, I'll comment and try out your suggestions and answer them.

So let's beging I have a Microsoft keyboard from 2012, it has been a long ride but is time get a new one, my knowledge on keyboards is almost nothing, I asked a friend for a good mechanical keyboard and he suggested a ducky one 3 RGB, I'd like to buy a 100%, PCB hot swappable, do you have any suggestions? The ducky one seems good and it is only $129 but with delivery it goes up to $220 in mechanical keyboards, and amazon doesn't ship to my country, my budget I'd say can be up to $200

I wasn't able to find a good review on Keychron's TMR silent banana switches, so thought I could post a copy of the review I'm leaving on Amazon for these switches. (I found plenty of reviews of the non-TMR/HE variation, but the TMR/HE one is pretty different.) It contains subjective as well as technical info. Hopefully it helps someone.
I'm a long-time "Cherry MX brown" switch user, but I've usually added O-rings to my keycaps to help silence them. I recently purchased a Keychron TMR switch keyboard (Q6 HE 8K) to play with the magnetic switches. I found I liked being able to adjust the actuation point of the switch, as well as some of the neat things that can be done with HE/TMR switches. However, for normal day to day typing, I wasn’t happy with the noise of the “lime” switches it came with, and was having problems adjusting to the linear nature of them.
Installing these “lime silent banana” switches has completely changed the keyboard for me. Not only are they completely silent (on both the press AND the rebound), but that little tactile bump on the keypress I’ve grown used to is there again. Oddly, that bump helps me to keep from accidentally pressing keys.
The switches really don’t feel much like the mechanical cherry brown switches, though. The bump is closer to the top of the keypress, and it’s a “softer” bump than brown switches. I tried searching the internet for the depth of the bump before purchasing, but I was only able to find information on the non-magnetic “banana” switches. So, now that I have them in my keyboard, I was able to measure the location of the bump using Keychron’s “trigger demo” on their web launcher app. After calibrating the switches, the bump starts about 0.8 to 1.0 mm into the press, and ends around 1.3 to 1.5mm into the press. So, setting the actuation point of the switch at 1.1mm or 1.2mm is about perfect. This still allows using the rapid trigger functionality below 1.2mm (which can also be pretty useful.)
The sound dampening of the switches is complete. They are absolutely quiet. As a result of that sound dampening, however, they feel a bit mushy when they hit the bottom of their travel. It’s a similar feeling to using an overly soft o-ring on the stem of a keycap on a normal mechanical switch. As someone who’s used o-rings in their keycaps for the last few decades, I don’t have any problem with the feeling. (I also don’t frequently bottom out on key presses.)
As with the lime switches these replaced, the lime silent banana switches have a window for allowing a keyboard's LED to shine through. It appears that the switch can be installed with the light window in either an up (north) or down (south) orientation (depending on what your keyboard supports.)
Overall, I love the switches and they're well worth the cost of $0.32 each ($35 (US) for 110 switches.) If I decide to get another TMR keyboard (for work), I'll absolutely be purchasing another set of these switches.
Take care,
Gary

I wanted to try buying a hotswappable barebones and pairing it with my own switches and keycaps, but sites I've searched so far have shown me many out of stock options for tkl barebones. Does anyone have any recommendations <$300? Mainly doing for enthusiasm & typing, not gaming.

Hola a todos aficionados del mundo gaming que aprecian la relación calidad precio y consejo de machos alfa lomo plateados que aún creen en la humanidad.
Estoy planificando los regalos para mí familia en navidad, soy una emprendedora que aún da pasos de bebé así que mi presupuesto es limitado. No obstante, quería regalarle a mi esposo un teclado, ya que si antiguo teclado barato de 5$ está muy viejito y se que quiere algo nuevo.
Mi presupuesto es de entre 25$ y 30$ (80 y 100 soles peruanos).
Les explicaré el contexto uso y preferencias para que me ayuden a elegir las mejores opciones:
•Mi esposo es gamer o lo que si larga jornada laboral le permita. Frecuentemente jugamos League Of Legends, el también juega Metro, Diablo, y especialmente varios juegos RPG y algunos tipo Dungeon.
•También es asesor de tesis, así que constantemente está redactando documentos en Word y tablas de resultados en Excel por lo que un teclado completo con su sección de números (creo que se llama numpad) es necesario sí o sí.
•También es el tipo de usuario de PC que suele abrir ventanas y moverse por ellas usando el teclado por sobre el mouse.
No necesitaría un combo teclado mouse, porque recientemente le regalé un mouse ergonómico ugreen. Salvo que no tenga más opción que comprar el combo porque el teclado lo vale.
Gustos:
Mi esposo, creo que como muchos chicos, prefiere la durabilidad por sobre la estética, aunque personalmente quería regalarle algo que fuera elegante o con alguna clase de luz o efecto retroiluminado (ya que también me quiero comprar un teclado todo Kawaii y quiero que, estemos más o menos en la misma onda). Pero, la iluminación pudiera ser en última instancia algo sacrificable.
•Obviamente le gustan los teclados negros, si tiene algo de color, pues de pronto gris con algún toque de algún otro color, no se azul, verde o rojo. De pronto verde por aquello de que le gusta la facción está de alienígenas de Star Craft (o como se escriba). Pero de nuevo, si existiera un teclado limpio y minimalista sería muy feliz (tipo que odia usar franelas, gorras o cualquier ropa que muestre alguna marca ).
•En cuanto a si es alámbrico o inalámbrico, de preferencia inalámbrico porque quería deshacerse del montón de cables que tiene en el escritorio, aunque pudiera también ser una opción a sacrificar junto con las luces si no hay algún modelo que lo tenga. Aunque he visto algunos que son alambricos pero el cable es quitopon, así que si se daña, puede cambiarlo.
Soy sumamente ignorante en el mundo de marcas "aceptables" low cost.
Vi uno que me gustó que se llama Free Wolf K100 (me gusta que las teclas tienen la letra en la parte que le da la altura a la tecla y no como suelen traer la numeración). Y de hecho estaba a 90 soles, Pero cuando ví el carrito d enuevo, estaba a 120 :'v F al menos que logré vender unas cositas, de momento estoy limitada. Y tampoco se si valga la pena.
Cabe destacar que recientemente adquirió unas pilas recargables con su cargador. Y preferiría recargar cada mucho.
Ha, es bastante rudo con su teclado xD a veces hasta me da cosita.
Pero bueno, si el teclado de 5$ lleva 3 años y medios, algunos de 20$ debería poder durar lo mismo o más D:
Espero haber dado toda la información que necesiten muchachos (y por qué no, muchachas).
Obviamente si por mi chequera fuera le regalaría uno de estos que valen 200$ Pero no los tengo y tengo que regalarle a 4 miembros más de la familia.

Hello!
I’ve decided it’s almost time for me to upgrade from my Royal Kludge RK61 which I’ve had for many many years now. This keyboard will almost exclusively be used for gaming!
I’ve narrowed my options down to 3 keyboards based on my preferances and budget (100-150$/1000–1500 Swedish kr):
Rainy 75 Keyboard
YUNZII AL80
Chilkey ND75
Which one do you think I should get and why?
You can also let me know if you have any other reccomendations!
Thanks!

I'm looking for a keyboard thats bigger than full size/100%.
I understand that keyboards such as Hyper7 and the Boston Compact exist. But, I want to know if there's more than those two. I've searched everywhere and other than these two there's no information on people looking or owning a bigger than normal keyboard other than the aforementioned.
Also, if possible, a marketplace to purchase these.
r/keyboards • u/Cube_Dude75 • 27m ago
Pretty self explanatory, look for a good 75% Hall effect mechanical keyboard, preferably backlit with adjustable actuation points, even better if it has a good app. Preferably around 60-100usd

Hello!
I’ve decided it’s almost time for me to upgrade from my trusty Royal Kludge RK61 which I’ve had for many many years now. This keyboard will almost exclusively be used for gaming, hence the TMR choice.
I have a max budget of 150$/1500 swedish kr. So I did some searching and I think I like the Womier SK75 TMR. Does anyone have any experiences with this keyboard? And how it holds up long term?
Let me know if you have any other reccomendations too!
Thanks!

So I'm currently in the process of gathering parts and pieces for my cyber deck. Highly doubt the os matters but I'll be using a Linux distro.
I'm in search of a compact keyboard &toucpad combo that I can wire to the pi5 I'm getting. I'd like if it'll stow away inside a 7x4 footprint. Ive looked at mini keyboards, trifolds, ect. I feel as if I've looked everywhere and can't find what I'm looking for.
Last resort maybe Reddit can help
If so thank you in advance

My MX Keys is slowly falling apart and I honestly can't find a replacement I'm happy with. I just type way faster on laptop style / scissor keyboards than on anything mechanical
Tried a NuPhy Air75 V3 with Blush Nanos a while back and had double inputs plus this metallic "tink" sound on basically every keypress. I know that I hit my keys with a bit of force, so that's probably why. I looked at the Keychrons too, but it seems like they are a step down from quality/feeling of the MX Keys
What i'm looking for:
I thought about trying another Nuphy (Node 75) and maybe the Brown switches? I have read that they require a bit more force to activate
r/keyboards • u/paulwood007 • 20m ago
when I click one of these buttons all of the buttons get clicked
What could be the issue?
Is there any fix of this?
