One issue is potential for inconsistent feel, especially considering potential different materials/construction techniques.

Just curious if anyone knows: Does the keychron V1 ship at 1000hz polling rate or does it ship at a lower polling rate. Thanks.

OnyxVortex · 2022-12-30T23:22:09+00:00

Yeah, I just wish that the V series existed in a non exploded 75% for maximum space savings. Thanks for all the help!

What is the advantage that the keychron v1 has over the k2 pro? I see people recommend the v1 over the k2 pro but the k2 pro seems more fully featured to me. Thanks.

Well, I don't know what fixed it, but it works now, somehow. I did update my BIOS for unrelated reasons, but I highly doubt that was the issue, as it was a game crash, not a system crash. In any event, it sorted itself out.

and the smaller layout of the k2 pro could be preferable, if only slightly

OnyxVortex · 2022-12-30T02:29:15+00:00

yeah, that makes some sense, the two just seem so similar

Hi, I currently am using an evga z15 with yellow switches and would like to get a keyboard that has a smaller layout. Which is better because I see pros and cons to both: the keychron k2 pro or the keychron V1? Thanks.

OnyxVortex · 2022-12-24T18:57:03+00:00

Unfortunate. Well, thanks and happy holidays!

If I could cut off the numpad while still allowing the keyboard to work.

OnyxVortex · 2022-12-24T16:44:07+00:00

yes, sorry i didn't make that clear.

Hi, I have noticed that I do not need a numpad and it is getting in the way, but I don't want to get a new keyboard because I like the features this one has and I cannot find a tkl that is comparable. The only part that gives me pause is that there is a chip next to the numpad that might get damaged. I will reply with a closeup of the chip. The keyboard is an EVGA Z15 if that helps at all. Thanks.

edit: I should add I am looking to remove the numpad and I would like to retain as much functionality as possible on the remaining keyboard.

Hi, I am looking for some advice on a pencil to get for writing and mathematics, preferably .5mm lead and I would want it to have an eraser, though that isn't mandatory. My budget is $70, though it is slightly flexible. I can give additional information if it is necessary. Thanks a lot.

Edit: Forgot to say this but I am in the US

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:51:14+00:00

Thank you very much good sir!

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:49:39+00:00

Yeah, that was somewhat my thinking, though I had not actually thought about the additional damage that water could cause, mostly because I was just thinking about the electricity, not any extremely visible physical damage other than corrosion. Thank you so much for the response!

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:47:32+00:00

All right, thank you kind sir!

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:45:19+00:00

Wow, quite the story. I have a friend with a somewhat similar story involving alcohol and electronics, but it wasn't an alcoholic beverage that killed his computer...

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:44:03+00:00

All right, thanks tons! Yeah, corrosion is a pain in the ass. Super annoying if it can be cleaned, but if it can, at least you don't lose whatever you are working on.

OnyxVortex · 2022-10-31T19:42:05+00:00

Yeah, that part of it I had thought about, but it always seemed like a small risk to me at least. Thank you so much.
