JamesDonkey - J2

Don't worry about what switches the keyboard comes with. You can always replace them. QMK 60% can be configured with mod-tap arrows where the right-hand mods are mods when held and arrows when tapped. I don't thing the one you have can support that though. There are a lot of really nice new QMK 60% boards available. [Instructions](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/tree/main/layouts). Womier WD75 is a wooden-cased QMK board that comes with linear switches with a 42gf actuation that's going to be pretty much indistinguishable from red. May only be available Amazon US. Jamesdonkey J2, ditto. Yunzii AL68 is good but Jesus the Canadian price blows your budget. [More](https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/blob/main/README.md)... Gasket mount means it's softer to type on and less jarring for your fingers.

Technically yes wireless adds to the price, but prices are all over the place and even in minimal boards it doesn't make that much difference. For example, the Irok board I mentioned. Another great option is the Jamesdonkey J2 hotswap version.

This is currently by far the best deal on Amazon US, if you're in the USA. * https://www.amazon.com/JamesDonkey-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Swappable/dp/B0DQWJYCZG * https://www.amazon.com/JamesDonkey-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Swappable/dp/B0DQWJTGNY It's a fully kitted 82-key 75% wired+wireless board with QMK firmware and manageable from launcher.keychron.com in Chrome. If it's too loud, to quiet it down a bit the Akko Creamy Purple Pro switches are good, or Outemu Silent Yellow Jade for total ASMR barely detectable silence. If you're in Europe, look for the Akko 5075S VIA. Elsewhere, here's my list of suggestions: https://github.com/ArgentStonecutter/keyboards/blob/main/via-boards.md

I looked into the [Jamesdonkey J2](https://www.amazon.com/JamesDonkey-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Tri-Mode/dp/B0DQS8D9VD?th=1) its a nice black color with red switches for about 42 CAD. The Yunzii AL6 is about 170 CAD but in ur opinion what makes it worth / good? I looked into QMK and I don't know if I like it too much. It requires me to still adapt to a different typing style which might not be transferrable if I move out (and have a non QMK'ed keyboard)

hey, so just got my Jamesdonkey J2 and it feels great so far. Keyboard sounds much better than my old red switches and keys feel light and easy to press. I went to [https://launcher.keychron.com/](https://launcher.keychron.com/) to view customizations which the site offers a lot of. The JSON file in your github, I tried importing the file but it says "Invalid Configuration". I downloaded the file directly from Github using the link provided. Is this known? thanks in advance
