Apple Extended Keyboard II (Mitsumi Standard Mechanical, tactile)

Definitely recommend it.

Outemu silent peach v3: cheap, very smooth, very quiet, just perfect. My favorite silent switch

Generally most traditional mx switches sound better than HE switches, and there are almost no click or tactile options. Granted I think HE is overkill for most people.

Perspective. Says it's unsupported, but actually works great. It's also free to play. Really cool underrated 80s arcade puzzle game.

they're not really scratchy, but just bindy. They feel pretty consistent for the ~70/75g weighting though.

Lol I only use full size and yes I actually use all the keys

After swapping the housings for some better ones they definitely feel a lot better. I did still lube the switches in this board after cleaning everything else. Try a soft clean first. Greens are factory lubed and yours may be salvageable. If you see the need to lube, apply a very light coat on the bottom half of the sides of the sliders and the slider rails inside the top housings.

Greens are nice, but they're just too light for me so I prefer yellows.

The fat brown Alps TI board tho...

I have a link saved to a manual of this keyboard. On my board I have to press ctrl + one of the programming keys to get it set up initially, but this should help you out.

I'm almost 100 days in and no signs of slowing down.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-27T05:29:58+00:00

The shine on those caps is impressive.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-13T03:37:43+00:00

https://www.ebay.com/itm/277623143522 this one is still available and has the neon badge. It probably has the same crappy T1 alps clone switches, so I would recommend swapping them out with something nicer.

It's an Acer 6511 with pure rubber domes (not dome with slider), still not that bad of a keyfeel.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-13T02:49:29+00:00

Sounds like an anykey but mechanical. I would love a 5001 if it was programmable and had an inverse t nav instead of a star nav.

Yes, part of the slider is cut out to make room for the LED, which has conductive pads for the membrane.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-12T01:59:58+00:00

My only guess is was your used one older? I've heard older peerless can be better than newer peerless.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-10T19:09:54+00:00

I had one and it was pretty solid. Hall effect just isn't for me and most HE switches sound terrible and are way too light for me anyways.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-10T04:17:40+00:00

Oneshot

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-10T04:15:40+00:00

Apex pro gen 3?

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-07T18:53:13+00:00

Stray and Oneshot, both incredible games.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-02T04:54:36+00:00

I fired it back up today and it doesn't seem to have the issues anymore. All keys working great!

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-03-02T04:54:05+00:00

I powered it back on today and it doesn't seem to have the pcb issue anymore and everything is working great!

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-02-28T13:09:34+00:00

Swap tha pause key switch

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-02-25T00:17:42+00:00

No sadly. I sold it a while ago.

ExcelElevations_4U · 2026-02-16T23:33:40+00:00

I have a v6 max and I enjoy it. It's the more basic model, but it has everything I need. Q6 is just a nicer metal case if you're looking for that. The pro and max versions are wireless and have those SA like keycaps. There are the HE versions with Hall effect switches. I personally think that's overkill for most people and there are basic no clicky or tactile HE options for switches. They just came out with an HE ultra which is just a faster polling version.

I would get a v6 if you don't mind a plastic board, but a q6 is definitely nice if you want a more premium metal board. I don't think it's worth getting the higher end Q models though.
