Title: optical keyboard (gateron) + 2.4G ?
Post by: mlmcasual on Tue, 14 March 2023, 14:50:26

Hello!

Just wondering.. I am searching for a decent re-configurable wireless keyboard with optical switches..  Unfortunately the big box "gamming boards" .. logitech,corsair, etc.. are proprietary (and also overpriced)  so ruled out.


Does anyone know of a brand/manufacturer that checks off the following criteria?


Customizable kebyoard (hot swappapble) switches and keycaps
Can use Gateron OPTICAL switches
Wireless 2.4G 


I can't seem to find one that meets all three..

thanks!

2.4g is hard to find in more enthusiast keyboards also no keyboard supports both optical and mchanical switches and beetween these 2 i would get a mechanical switch keyboard (much more switch options and literally no diffference in function) as i said before 2.4 is unrealistic and i would settle on bluetooth or wired

I can't seem to find one that meets all three..

thanks!
