Title: Any gasket mount kits you would suggest? Looking around $200 or less.
Post by: VaporKeebs on Mon, 07 March 2022, 21:08:47
Hey yall. I have been using an acrylic tofu65 and really enjoy it. It is a top-mount with a polycarbonate plate. Like I said I really like it but I dont have a decent gasket mount to really compare to. Or really any other kind of mount.

If I want to grab something to try what would you suggest at $200 or less?

I hear quite good things about the keychron q series of keyboards for under $200. It seems like people say they main issue that they ship with is that they are quite hollow and pingy but it seems like they are some easy mods that fix those issues up and makes for quite a good board.

Also take a look at the upcoming qwertykeys 65 (https://alkaline-sting-1d3.notion.site/QK65-Sale-Info-updating-176f4c918f5440fcb2aa32126231d588) which seems to have pretty crazy value for under 200.

AKKO's Acr series would be a good bet for acrylic. Though might wanna grab kelowna gaskets or something, they are much better than the stock ones.

Ill need to research the ACR59 more. I like that HHKB layout but is it really a gasket mount? Their amazon ad doesnt list that. But an acrylic HHKB hotswappable gasket mount for $150 sounds great to test out a new mounting style.
