Title: [HELP] 75% Keyboard recommendation for girlfriend!
Post by: el2k on Thu, 31 October 2019, 17:10:59

Hey guys, I haven't posted on here on been in the keyboard game since 2013/14!

I used a MX Mini as my daily driver, have done since last post here!
My girlfriend has recently taken a liking to it, so I want to get her a 75% with a similar layout to introduce her to mechanical keyboards but without breaking the bank.

I remembered the noppoo choc mini off the top of my head but it seems these have been discontinued?

Could anyone point me in the right direction of a similar 75%/84 key board that ins't Mx Mini kind of money?

Or better still, does anyone have an old noppoo laying around they would sell?

Thanks in advance

So it has to be a capacitive keyboard?

I'd like it to have cherry switches ideally!

KBD75 V1 or V2. You can build it yourself or let KBDfans do it for a extra 10 bucks. Pretty nice keyboard for it's price.

KBD75 is actually very nice, and I've come close to purchasing one recently.

You can choose different layouts, just make sure your keycaps support it.

For cheap, look up the KeyCool 84. It feels flimsy and plasticy, but was still enjoyable to type on, and experiment with keycaps.
