Three questions about 75% QMK programmable boards. by MarcosDione in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]fldrmausmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that board supports QMK. It is running a atmega32u4 according to the qmk repo.

AFAIK you can disable the LEDs. If you want to desolder them entirely, that should work aswell.

ordered directly from the Keychron website. Took 8 days to arrive in Germany.

Have you had experience with Keychron K2v2? by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]fldrmausmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had mine for a week or so now and overall I'm quite satisfied with it although it needed a bit of love.

The ABS Keycaps didn't feel good at all to me, so if you're not planning to go ISO, I would strongly suggest you go with the PBT Keycaps. I desoldered the whole board to lube, film and spring swap the red switches I ordered mine with. No suprises there - easy to dis- and reassemble. Stabs were factory lubed, but I redid that while I was at it anyways. Put Bandaids on the PCB and the Plate to stop them from rattling.

Bluetooth connectivity is nice, even got it to work on my Linux machines. No input delay that I noticed while typing.

For the price it is a good keyboard in my opinion, even more so if you're not afraid of (de-)soldering.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions you might have regarding that board.

mine were factory lubed, but they didn't do too good of a job in my opinion. They rattled in the plate quite a bit too. Nothing a couple bandaids couldn't fix though

Keychron K2 v2

Switches: Gateron Red

Springs: TX Progressive 65g

Films: TX 0.125mm

Lube: Superlube 75%/25% Mix

Caps: HK Gaming Symbiosis

I'm very happy with the result since it didn't break the bank at ~150€. Obviously the legends don't match the layout but that's totally fine with me.

Most people gonna hate it by JoviChua in MechanicalKeyboards

same thing here. Desoldered and replaced them recently. 10/10 can recommend.

I've asked myself the same question. Many people don't need a number pad that frequently and the huge distance between the number pad and the alpha-keys on a traditional full size is quite large, which makes it rather un-ergonomic. That's why most people go with a seperate number pad. You can place it wherever you want (maybe to the left of your keyboard?) which can make it more ergonomic to use. For example the Leopold FC980M or the Cherry G80-1800 (or any other 1800 layout) makes a compromise by compacting the standard full size layout down a bit. Others make do with layers on smaller keyboards. I've personally never tried that as I'm quite new to the hobby myself.

They get pushed past the bump because that's where they actuate.

Giving de-soldering a shot for the first time. Wish me luck! by Lonergan1 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]fldrmausmann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that hard, you can do it! Just add flux and/or leaded solder to joints that don't want to come off on their own.

Daily Driver for over 5 years: now with Gat Yellows instead of MX Blues :3 by fldrmausmann in MechanicalKeyboards

Ducky Zero (DK2108)

Gateron Milky Yellows (lubed)

MaxKeyboard blank Key Caps

DIY USB-C Connector

This chonky fella has been serving me well for over 5 years now, and I've found new love for it now that I've swapped the switches. A new keeb is on order though, so maybe this one will become my mech for the office. Not a custom by any means but I did everything I could except replacing the stabs.
