Snagged a hybrid role in commercial lending and my old Das Keyboard I was using at home had some broken switches (including the numpad + which I need frequently). Used some of my cashed out vacation time from leaving my old job to make the upgrade.

  • Keychron Q5 Pro

  • Gateron Milky Yellow Pro Switches

  • KBDiy GMK Shoko Clones (going to upgrade when the time is right but needed something for now) - Been eyeing some Osume Dusks but they’re out of stock.

  • Bell’s Oberon Eclipse beer which oddly ended up matching the caps that came today.

      I’m a big fan of the Keychron K series keyboards. Nobody else in the business is putting that kind of build quality into a ~$100 keyboard.

          It’s clearly a step down, but I was hunting on Amazon and found an open-box RK96 for my daughter for under $50. Some AliExpress Pokemon XDAs will be going into it. I don’t think she actually uses the numpad much, but the 2u “plus” and “enter” keys have Sylveon on them, so whatchagonna do?

          Keychron K17 is a really nice compromise and very compact for what you get. It isn’t every key, but really close. I just set mine up and remapped the pause, end, scroll lock, etc to function enabled keys. Works great!

      The Zoom98 might be cheaper if you can wait. I debated between this, the Zoom98 and the James Donkey RS2 v2 but decided against the James Donkey because I wanted a metal case. I’m spending more than I would on the keyboard, I wanted a durable build.
