I've had a cooler master keyboard with cherry mx browns (my first mech) for a few years but looking for a change.

I'm a fan of anything by Keychron.

Yes! I'm too. I've got the K6 Pro and very happy! Usbc, BT, VIA, QMK, swappable switches...

Their portfolio has exploded in the past years. Most people can find something very good within their budget

Keychrons are great. If you want some other brands to look at there is also Akko/Monsgeek. Mikit and Iqunix are decent too with quirky designs if you want something different.

I have a Keychron K8 Pro and am absolutely in love with it. One of the best mechanicals I’ve ever used.

+1 for keychron boards.

K2 and K8 enjoyer here. No muss, no fuss, just a comfortable workhorse keyboard. I use the brown variants and like them a lot.

Looks like they only have blue now, but this is a really comfortable board:

I'll look into this. The fact that it's USBC would be nice since I have to use micro USB right now haha. Do they include basic keycaps or I'm guessing you have to pick the ones you want separately? Thank you for the suggestion!

[–] Massada42@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure you’ll have to provide your own caps.

Had this for a few years and love it. Use it at work and at home.

I got a keydous nj80 for 150 bucks and its fantastic.

Very nice selection of pre lubed switches, optional brass or steel weight, all assembled and ready
