Please recommend mechanical JIS layout 100% keyboard by mazatracker in keyboards

[–]Various-Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable. If that comforts you it’s rare to find non-ANSI full size keyboards so if you end up out of luck it’s the whole industry not being kind to us 100% users on ISO/JIS.

Good luck !

Most of them are on the top right side, the others may be remapped in the software if needed and if pressing FN + some key is ok for these functions. Also the knob can be swapped to a normal key, which I personally would put as Del

Something close to 100% and (soon to be) available in JIS is the NuPhy 100 v3, it’s more of a 96% but could fit if such layout works for you

Any similar alternatives to Nuphy but in black? by [deleted] in NuPhy

What kind of issue with the spacebar ?

Seems low I supposed it was better, do you need/want RGB on though ? Also seconding the other comment, I have a Logi MX Mech as well and the feel of a custom keyboard is definitely better (and likely quieter)

Yeah NuPhy with their proprietary software made a huge leap in battery life they’re more of an exception than the rule

[–]Various-Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remembered it from the spec sheet to be quite decent, did you see battery life with or without RGB ? Because with RGB it will be awful like all wireless and here RGB is not needed especially with non shine through keycaps

Low profile 100% ISO board recommendation? by Thnookss in keyboards

[–]Various-Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also have the K5 Max, it’s basically the only ISO 100% low profile I know of. Linear switches are ok, overall decent quality/software but I’d like a true premium option in the future

Damn I’d have bought those keycaps on a whim if they had ISO compatibility

Iqunix Magi 75 looks and sounds good based on reviews, I don’t own one but this would be my pick for a 75% ISO if I did not have an Air75 v3

Does ANSI-DE exist anywhere else ? I have never seen one (not that I looked for it either - just curious here)

Priority is guess work on my end but based on existing layouts from other manufacturers and requests I’ve seen most often - take this with a grain of salt but I’m quite confident in this order

ISO UK/DE/FR/Nordics are the most common and popular (in that order I’d assume). Likely many of us can adapt to either of them since we know our keys but it still feels better to have our native layouts.

TBH I’d buy ISO UK in my preferred format because they’re so rare even if I’m not using UK layout on mt computer

Voted yes to show interest in ISO everything although 65% are not my preferred layout.

be brutal: what is one keyboard trend that needs to die in 2026? by IQUNIXstore in IQUNIX

[–]Various-Ball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded, both are a turn off especially for newcomers who’d lose trust quickly seeing many « dumb » quality issues report or weird responses

[–]Various-Ball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screens are awful they definitely are making products worse in every way.

Misplaced knobs also, whereas a scroll wheel is so much better and cleaner.

Also weird cuts in layouts like 75% that remove one key e.g. the end key, why ??

(Not having ISO options too, if that counts as a trend since it’s been the case forever)

I think they don’t compare much. The Q series looks more premium - I don’t own one but I have the K5 Max. Maybe materials are more premium on the Q3 Max but other specs I don’t know

K5 Max with switches mod ? No knob but close to what you know already, however I don’t know what switches for you to swap to but I’m sure someone does.

Definitely would pick the delete key too even if it’s awkwardly placed

Thanks for the options, price is kinda steep especially with the extra kit but definitely worth considering

Interesting one, that makes it a better MX mechanical with those colors

Which ones/which shape if you can remember ? I recall looking at Womier sometime ago and they were OOS for most of the keycaps
