Title: Need Recommendation! 100%, Mech, USB-C, Wireless
Post by: KierenConnell on Wed, 03 April 2019, 06:31:57

G'day Crew!

I'm after a recommendation, I'm looking for a full size, mechanical (Blues or Browns), with USB-C and wireless options, back-lighting would be nice, and adjustable would be even better, but the last two aren't deal breakers.

I'm liking the layout of the following:
Rosewill RK-9000
Filco Majestouch-2
Filco Convertible 2

I'm after the long shift/enter/backspace keys. I don't need media or macro keys.

If one of the 3 boards above came with USB-C and wireless, I'd be in heaven.

Anyone know of a board that does!?

the rosewill goes on big sales during promotions.  that's the go to.

I got my mx red rosewill for $24.

There's no advantage on the filco besides brand recognition and _Weeb_ approval factor.

Wireless is for plebs

USB C is not yet ubiquitous enough to be of convenience.

Going into the future, we've got 10s of years left with regular usb on desktops, maybe some laptop might drop usb vanilla, even then, they make $1 adapters.


Focus on the switch you like, and that's that. not much else matters.



And of course..  Split Keyboard = Best keyboard
