I think the trick these days is find a layout you like with hot swappable cherry mx switches that have a qmx/via style configurator.
Then you can configure the buttons however you want.
Or you know... go build your own. It's fun. I built my own keypad and learned a bunch of stuff.
- dotancohen 1y agoI get that you're trying to be helpful, but I meant that I am looking for a keyboard. Not for a keyboard hobby.
- BlaDeKke 1y agoSomething tells me that you’re not looking for a keyboard hobby.
- bb88 1y agoThere's a certain trend to repairing existing electronics and keeping electronics waste out of landfills, right to repair and what not -- and that's the spirit I was talking about. Even hot swap switches prevent more landfill waste as it makes it easy for people to replace bad switches. And if you want a reliable keyboard in the future, that's what you'll need, other wise it will just be more e-waste. Owning 20 cars and maintaining them is a hobby. Owning 1 car and maintaining it is not -- it's life.
- dotancohen 1y agoOh, I've soldered my share of keyboards. But only in repairs, not in actually building one from scratch.
