r/keyboardsIs Corsair K70 Core TKL Wireless worth buying?
4 months ago

But it's got QMK firmware, it's rapid disassembly, CNC aluminum case, gasket mount, and hotswap. It's absolutely a better board. Or you can get the Womier SK87, which is the same board as the Stars80 v1, for $70. It's got basically everything but the rapid disassembly feature... there's 8-10 screws holding the case together. Fully kitted out. Edit: firmware source [here](https://github.com/womierkeyboard/qmk_firmware/tree/womier/keyboards/womier/sk87). The Jamesdonkey J4, again $70, has a plastic clipped case, but again it's got QMK firmware, it's gasket mount and hotswap. And the firmware source is online [here](https://github.com/james-donkey/qmk_firmware/tree/wireless_playground/keyboards/jamesdonkey/j4). That's two far better boards for little more than half the price. And, damn. I didn't notice first time around that the K70 seems to be a soldered board, that should be a war crime. Any board that costs more than $20 and doesn't have hotswap sockets is customer abuse.

r/BudgetKeebsCrazy deal on a wireless 75% mechanical right now ($23) - white JamesDonkey J2 on Amazon
8 months ago

Yo! thanks for the link.. saw this and grabbed it on impulse (not really been stalking a more expensive but still generic amazon keeb). but this thing is way better than i could imagine for just a Andy Jackson.. forget prime day.. this crushes those deals. Granted no idea how this will hold up but for 20 who cares.. its already a phenomenal value and if it does last its gonna be epic. Anyone who needs a cheap very solid board put this one esp this hotswap variant on price alert so you know when it comes back (if it does).. and grab one.. Also forgot to mention.. really pleased with the Super bananas.. first time in a long time have i used tactiles.. been mostly a clicky or a linear user.. Its a nice change and actually prefer over Cherry browns(the only tactiles ive ever used).. at the time it was the only model available at 20. so held my breath and ordered.. super happy..
