Greetings from Germany, Lower Saxony, from a newbie

[Maev]

I am pretty new to mechanical keyboards, as I just didn't use to have the money for 'em, but I'm slowly warming up to building my own (after finding that my Roccat Vulcan Pro I was gifted a few years back is completely uncustomiseable. Thanks for that, annoying large gaming companies that won't let you do anything) and I'm just here to try out cool Keycaps (CXA is amazing. Fight me) and figure out some nice switches to use for myself

I am currently looking to build me an 80% or 75% board, and am already inn despair, as almost all cases and PCBs are 60% for some reason; I need F keys for Starcraft ;_; I can't use those small goo boards with far too little keys
I already made the concession of going TKL eventhough I love numpads...

alas, I hope I'll find something cool, and nice people to chat with about MKs
Currently I am using my wife's Keyboard with GMK vaporwave and lubed Linjär switches with Gateron Yellow springs in an 8X MKIII case with no major sound mods, but the goblin in my brain wants me to try Gateron Browns

welcome, you are doomed now, there is no escape from the rabbit hole
might be worth to check out the mode sonnet for a keyboard option. it is a nice 75% and in stock. while i do not own one myself, i got a mode eighty and envoy and both are really good quality.

hahahahaha I am aware that I will die in this swamp
Thanks for the recommendation I'll check it out more alter, albeit it sadly doesn't have the color I like (violet, lilac, or Burgundy) but I'll definitely keep it in mind It's not like it'll be my only build, considering *gestures vaguely at the community* but it's def a good start as opposed to some group-buy

the 'elderberry' looks burgundy to me, just in case you missed that one.

Servus! Monacokeys.de has just launched the Pre Order of Evo 80 on this Monday. It has leaf spring also Blattfeder Gasket. But now it only has ANSI Layout for the first batch. I like it. It is from sub company from QK or OW Lab. I can't cleary the relationship between them. QK80 V2 also has leaf spring gasket and its group buy just ended at 08.09.24. QK80V2 will be shipped 4-6 weeks after the group buy in China. Also there will be limited editions on zFrontier's exhibition in Shenzhen. I guess the group buy worldwide or in Germany will be 3 months later, around the end of this year.

Regarding the keyboard, I personally like it a lot. I have both a Corsair K70 and the Vulcan and while I like my K70 as well I prefer the Vulcan. But that could also be due to me preferring tactile switches over linear as my K70 have Cherry Red switches. I would need to try a Cherry brown keyboard to check that. But in any case, I am very happy with the Vulcan and don't have any complains. And maybe I have been lucky so far that I have not encountered any of the issues reported.
