Title: Discord server for fullsize keyboard lovers
Post by: clay on Mon, 13 January 2025, 21:50:08: https://discord.gg/6aahyjth2M

Feel free to join this server. Not the biggest community yet but a lot of us large keyboard lovers gather here to discuss fullsize boards. Since large boards are a niche in this hobby, we sometimes find it quite difficult to get information or options that cater to our needs and wants. Personally, this community has helped me move forward through this hobby a lot. We also share news and upcoming GBs for fullsize pieces.

Thank you!

I feel like we're a dying breed. Glad to have a place dedicated to talking about this shrinking corner of the hobby. :thumb:

You are welcome here! I think the community is growing as there has been an increasing demand for fullsize custom keyboards. Gone are the days where you must only go Keychron or Monsgeek or any prebuilt gaming board if you want a proper fullsize. Despite this, I would admit this group is still a small niche in the hobby.

The market was mostly dominated by 60%, 75% (not the layout with spacing, but the more cluttered together design), and TKL keyboards

We joined near the same time and your Sentraq keyboard dates your time in the hobby as well. Remember when blank keycaps were all the rage as well? I have done TKL, 60%, and full size. I have never been in a situation where the length of my full size keyboard was ever an issue. Also, hello fellow AEK2 user.

I think a lot of people were used to laptops, therefore when choosing a keyboard, they would prefer to have the size similar to their laptop keyboard
