So I need to replace my keyboard as it's finally on it's last legs. I'm an extremely heavy rhythm gamer getting 1k+ hrs in just Project Diva a year. The issue is my keyboard is now on it's last legs with multiple keys sticking, not always registering, and I'm also missing my \[ keycap (I lost it somehow while cleaning my keyboard, looked everywhere still can't find it). I needed to replace it and I don't know if I should just stick with what I got now or if there's a different brand/type you all recommend.
Currently I use a corsair K100 with Optical Switches due to just how light they are to push down but my biggest issue with it is just how loud the keys are upon pressing and them being picked up my by mic. Other than that I love this keyboard in every game I've played. From Helldivers, Ready or Not, to my extremely fast rhythm games.
I know I want a full 100 sized keyboard and I NEED short light keystrokes. I've been looking at some other brands like Wooting and Razor but I don't know much about how hall effect/magnetic keys feel nor do I know any really good companies outside of corsair.
Why wireless?
For me, nothing but Wooting now. Optical is nice, i come from a K100 with Opticals, but they customizability if HE switches is something i dont want to miss ever again. 60HEv2 with Split spacebar is all i never knew i needed
That’s always going to a personal thing. Personally, I think Corsair’s board quality and features outpace Logitech and Razer. Razer and Corsair switch type is about the same quality (for OPX vs Analog Optical Gen 2).
For this sub though, both are garbagetier. And I say that loving my K100 OPX that is collecting dust.
There are MANY better switches and boards. Hall Effect is the current push, but optical isn’t too far behind if you don’t need “rapid trigger.” Wooting 80HE from a pure performance standpoint (irrelevant if achievable by a human) is probably the best gaming keyboard spec wise, but the build quality and feel is not perfect.
Different boards and switches for different folks. If you like flashy RGB and Razer Synapse (honestly why for Synapse though), more power to you. If you don’t, there’s an ocean to explore.
300$ for a high end keyboard is not that much as you think.
I've had 95 plat and now k100 optix and not a single issue.
2021.09.16 (MM/DD) and still going strong. Switched the keycaps to pudding ones for more rgb.
Its even more crazy if you think the brand new one that has built streamdeck (hate it or love it) and its still only 320 when a streamdeck itself is 100 and up.
I've had the opposite experience. The switches last 2 years or so, then one fails and you have to replace the whole keyboard or do some soldering. This happend to like 5 of these that I bought myself or a relitive as a gift, so I upgraded to a hot swappable and never looked back. I wouldn't buy this keyboard if it was half this price. Look into something with hot-swappable switches, and it will never fail you.
Not at all, same price point with one offering far more customization with tons more keycap compatibility (mt3, cherry, xda, SA, 6.25u spacebar, etc.) and switch options since it’s hot swap , type feel, type sound, comfort, higher quality material, qmk/via. It’s not even a fair comparison as you’re pretty much getting scammed with the Corsair keyboard at this point.
I don’t even have a keychron anymore but it was a damn good entry into custom keebs
Wake up, it’s 2026
The stock k100 doesn’t blow the stock Keychron q out of the water. Don’t be silly. The rest of your long drawn out argument is just wrong all the over place. The Keychron comes prebuilt with the keycap and switches. You’re just writing so much with so much error because you’re that triggered about facts. Insane.
I can’t believe you actually tried to argue the k100 was a unique piece. The kohaku and the unikorn are unique pieces.
You don’t seem to understand what the word silly means, what the word unique means, and blatantly pick and choose what you read in an argument.
Now that’s just silly
I literally explained why wtf? No, I just straight compared the Keychron Q series. I never mentioned anything else. JFC.
You literally have reading comprehension issues if you think the stock keycaps and switches was the argument I made. I said it’s hot swap and had better keycaps compatibility, try putting a new pair of keycaps on the k100 and find out the spacebar isn’t a standard 6.25u. Try replacing a failed switch.
You didn’t even try to bother making an argument against the gasket mounted type feel, better chassis quality and the sound, qmk/via. I literally wrote all this out and you’re making me write it again such a waste of time.
Whatever man, convince people to like garbage water because you like garbage water. I really dgaf, I don’t get paid to be objectively right so people can spend wisely
