I randomly got recommended Hipyo Tech on YouTube one day and since have been watching his videos. I haven't got a clue about mechanical keyboards, but I have strong tastes in terms of aesthetics. Long story short, I kept checking shit out and stumbled across a keyboard he hasn't reviewed yet and I think I'm in love. But I don't know if it's any good or is even Linux compatible. So… is the ATK V75X a decent purchase? Or does it suck?

The look I'm interested in, is the all matte black oka Gunmetal. I don't have the foggiest about the difference between the switches.

What model keyboard did you get?

[–] jjagaimo@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

I got a Keychron V6 knob. Looks great but if I could go back in time I'd choose something 1) lighter 2) with wireless/BT and 3) lower input latency

Also holy panda switches and mixed keycaps (white on letters/numpad, light green on the special characters on the right, dark green for the modifiers)

What would you get now?

Keychron is the safe first buy for any one interested in quality keyboards. They have a wide range of styles, layouts, and price points. I would suggest sticking to the $100 price range as they tend to be the best value for a first mechanical keyboard.

The cheapest is £80 and that doesn't even include the keycaps: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJwLCix

The keycaps are available for a tenner though, so that's decent: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzPUlhN
