No this isn’t an ad. Fuck their keyboards and their shitty software and horrific customer support

    What I find more funny is the mechanical keyboard trend of smallkeyboards (no numpad) with custom everything (keycaps/switches) without any lighting being hundreds of dollars.

      It’s not lightning that adds up to the price, it’s stuff like aluminum case, quality mechanical switches and yes, keycaps.

      Unfortunately these gamer keyboards have the worst keycaps you’ve ever seen, the cheapest Chinese switches money can buy and the highest amount of telemetry on that oh so important software. It’s pretty disgusting.

      The mechanical keyboard trend has been around for a while and it’s really worth checking out if you use a keyboard for 8 hours a day.

          It really is crazy. I’m happy that keyboards are becoming more mainstream. Too many people use shitty keyboards! Invest in your tools, people!

      Or it has “lighting” but for some unseen reason, everything but the keys are lit up with leds. No actual backlighting.

      Thanks, that’s not helpful.

        I hate how hard it is to find a low profile mechanical keyboard.

        Or just one with more features than just “it has keys”
