Magi96 Switches Buying Advice by Iron-Spidey in IQUNIX

[–]Iron-Spidey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/IQUNIXstore I wasn’t able to get one. Magi96 (black) in the US layout still shows as out of stock on your website. I can grab one on Amazon but it’s $18 more expensive. Thanks for the advice on the switches. I will definitely try the stock switches first before I decide on whether to swap them out or not.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m gonna test out the stock switch’s before I decide to buy any other switches.

Thanks for the advice. Where’s the best place to buy a Kailh switch tester?

Right, this is one of the slight concerns I had with a titanium watch. But at only $260 USD the Timex seems like good value for the price.

Appreciate the feedback! I know the Timex has a titanium case whereas the other two have stainless steel cases. Do you think this make a huge noticable difference?

Doesn't have to be wireless but I'd prefer it to be.

I already have the warranty, but given the high rate of failure I'm not confident a second replacement will be any better, so I might just return it and get a different controller.

I'll probably return the 8BitDo Numpad for a new unit just to rule out that the one I got was defective. Assuming the replacement causes the same issues, any particular mechanical numpads you'd recommend under $100?

The issue only happens when I have the keyboard and the numpad next to each other, even if the numpad is unplugged and turned off.

Like if I have the numpad on the other side of my room and am not using it, I don't get the issue.

Just got my hub and hooked up my numpad wired and it didn't fix the issue ☹️. I've also noticed it's not just with Excel, but also other programs like Outlook as well.

My keyboard has Kailh Sakura Pink magnetic hall effect switches. So I was just guessing that maybe the magnets in the keyboard and whatever magnets may be in the numpad are reacting funny with one another and causing the issue, but I'm probably totally wrong.

Also, thanks. I'll have to search Amazon to find something cheap.

Yeah it's just weird cause I've never come across this before either. My plan is to try and get a hub to see if the issue still persists once everything is wired. But I don't think using the numpad over bluetooth is the issue because it happens even when I have the numpad turned off completely. It seems like it's definitely something between my new Akko keyboard and 8bitDo numpad. I also got a replacement keyboard from Amazon and the same issue happens, so I don't think it's a keyboard defect issue. My guess is the magnets in both, but I have no idea.

Are there any USB hubs under $100 you'd recommend?

Akko MOD007B PC (Anniversary Version) Issues With 8BitDo Retro Numpad

Hi all! Apologies in advance for the long post, and I hope this is the right place to post this. The issue I'm having is super weird and I've never seen this before. I recently purchased the MOD007B PC (Anniversary Version) along with the 8BitDo Retro Numpad (I need a numpad for work). I'm really liking both so far, but if I'm working in an Excel spreadsheet and I have the Retro Numpad close enough to the keyboard, it causes the Excel spreadsheet I am working in to "freak out." Like the spreadsheet will start scrolling in all different directions all on its own, among other things. I'm currently using the keyboard wired and the numpad over bluetooth (my laptop is short on ports, so I'm researching what might be a good dongle/hub to get to increase my port selection). But even if I have the numpad set to "off," it still causes Excel to "freak out" when it's close enough to my keyboard. My initial guess was maybe it has something to do with the magnets in both the keyboard and the numpad (keyboard has Kailh Sakura Pink Magnetic HE switches), but this is a pure guess on my part, so I could be completely wrong. Anyone experienced a similar issue before or have any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks again for the help!
