Gateron Melodics are clicky switches with click leaf, similar to Alps. Gateron Harmonics are the newest version that doesn't have many reviews yet but some people like over Melodics. The Harmonics are less tactile than Melodics. [1,2,3] It's a higher pitch than Alps, but the closest you'll get new in 2026.

If you like topre-clones, Agar EC is a kit keyboard compatible with EC switches from Tecsee and Aeboards. [4] DynaCap makes their own EC kits as well and you can switch between MX and EC. [5] These are all kits you need to assemble yourself. I didn't realize Niz stopped making 45G switches, I actually like the sound of my Atom68 more than my HHKB.

Thanks. No readily available keyboards though, right?

I re-checked the Niz website and some 45g keyboards are back in stock, together with the silicon domes that go up to 50g. Of course, in Niz's best traditions, there is no description whatsoever on the domes.

You could remove the alternate home keys from the 40% kit. This color pattern only works with the QWERTY layout.

Could you please provide me with some alternative imges? Since I have very little knowledge about the 40 layout, but I would be more than happy to adjust them. :thumb:
