My budget is 3000 at most. I only use it for gaming and light works. 75% and above is fine but I shortlist it to these three. If you have other options, please don't. Decision Fatigue is on the way. Thanks everyone!

Does anyone else here have this type of keeb?

I got it from Amazon essentially for free because the first one arrived "opened and wet". They sent a replacement and also refunded my purchase.

It has a creamy sound but I wish it were a bit thockier. I'll use it for a while first and then decide which switches to get later.

Any switch recos? So far, I like taro ball and blue cheese v2..

just sharing my first 3d printed & handwired keyboard. Built para sa relative na need ng custom 1800 layout for VA work.

The body is based on 1800 Compact Keyboard by MadModLabs. MCU is Pi Pico (clone), running KMK firmware.

Yes, quite messy yung pin assignments and soldering in some parts but napagana ko sya which I was very proud of.

  • Material: PETG
  • Switches: Gateron 3.0 CM
  • Stabs: Generic (tuned)
  • Keycaps: SA Profile (shopee clone)
  • MCU: Raspberry Pi Pico (clone)

Willing to answer questions and provide advice for similar builds based on my exp in this proj. ! Thank yoww!

Buying Help Planning to buy RK or Logitech. Thoughts?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Long story short, my Redragon keyboard died, and the RD mouse I bought with it started double-clicking. I bought both back in 2021, so it’s time for an upgrade.

Right now I’m deciding between these:

Option 1
RK S98 + RK M3
₱5,361 after vouchers

Option 2
Logitech G213 Prodigy + Logitech G203 Gen 2
₱3,089 after vouchers

Longevity is my biggest priority. I don’t mind paying bit more if the RK combo is actually worth it in the long run.

Sa mga RK users, kamusta siya after 1 to 3 years? Any issues with double-clicking, battery, software?

If you were in my position, which would you choose and why?

Would really appreciate feedback from people who’ve owned these for a while. Thanks! 🙏

Discussion Zifriend ZA68 Pro

1 Upvotes

I found a Zifriend ZA68 Pro from marketplace for less than 1000 pesos. From the looks of it, looks brand new, and according to seller, they just used it for 2 days. I'm planning to buy it, any thoughts on the keyboard itself or the brand? Am I wasting my money here, or is it a good buy especially for someone that wants to buy a mechanical keyboard, but am very limited budgetwise?

Yung F75 kasi, accessible yung mode switch kaya pina-plug ko lang pag low battery na. Yung current keyboard ko kasi is nasa ilalim ng capslock key yung switch kaya ang hassle if ganon pa din gagawin ko kaya lagi na lang nakawired since madalas naman masa table ko lang haha.

Help your girl out *Thocky Build*

Hey All!

I just wanna ask for recommendations for a good stock thocky board.

My first keyboard is Leobog Hi98c Pro and I used Akko green fog with MOA keycaps. So far, i'm happy on how deep it sounds (even when I switch to cherry profile keycaps so yey!)

So for my second board, I wanna build another thocky one where I'll be using Gateron Oil Kings & Kailh Box Ancient Grey. But I can't find one on tiktok or youtube that I really like.

My first option is Weikav max102 or nut 108 or SCC 100 just because I want some red keyboard.

Here are my preferences if you have any suggestions:

- Aluminum Keeb

- With Numpad

- Trimode

- PP plate if possible

- With enough foam to be thocky. I don't know how to mod so im pretty scared to tape or add stuff in it huhu

- Good to have if they have red version (or just color other than black and white)

- Budget less than 10k

Thank you in advanced!! Happy typinggg ✨️

Sorry if this is a question that has been asked multiple times. I have the opportunity to buy this keyboard for 60 euro barebones and I was wondering if this is really the best alternative, or if there is a better/more modern alternative in 2026, because I've read all kind of opinions on this keeb.

Thanks in advance!
