My hunt for a new keyboard.

TLDR - Loving my new custom GMMK 2. Glorious Panda switches are fantastic.

    There’re way better options then those on the market now. Also, if tilde is important to you, consider a 75%.

      As long as the keyboard supports shift + escape for tilde (they said theirs did), i really don’t see a need for a 75%.

        Eh, kbin seems to have swallowed up my original reply. In addition to the keychrons, some cheaper 75%s include the Lychee G80 and the Feker 75. A more premium option that I’ve handled in person and thought was nice was the Zoom 75.

        I guess I was mostly concerned at seeing the Drop Alt: That’s just overpriced and not very good by now; 3 pin sockets when a lot of nice switches are coming with 5 pins just doesn’t cut it.
