Good morning
I know this is likely a cliche request but I've been out of the "scene" for years and don't know where to start.
I think sadly that my GMMK is dying; unfortunately it was really working well for me up until last week. Even more unfortunately, it appears Glorious no longer makes a true full size GMMK. I *might* be OK with a 1800 style layout which I see they do make, but I'd have to find the rest of my keycaps and I'm not sure if I would like it, I'd have to try it.
What I want:
a bog standard 104 key layout, alternately maybe a 1800 style layout.
PBT keycaps. I can't compromise on this, although I have some 4 year old /dev/tty on the GMMK so I could use those. I will literally destroy ABS keycaps, those are not an option, although I've had one set of PBTs for over a decade and they still look fine.
Hotswap Cherry style switches; I would like to reuse the Boba U4s that I have in the GMMK as this is an office keyboard and I really like those switches.
I really don't care about backlighting etc., it's cool but not mission critical.
I guess tomorrow I will have to bring in my old work keyboard which is a Filco Majestouch 2 that I swapped the switches for MX Clears from a POS Cherry keyboard (mumble) years ago, long before anyone ever thought about being hot swappable. It's still a good board and has some old PBT keycaps on it, I can't remember the seller but they came from China and if you reminded me I'd remember.
Looking at the new Majestouch 3 it looks close to perfect except for the lack of hotswap. Am guessing the full size Leopold are not hot swappable either? I actually have a Keychron C2 with the Gateron browns but the problem with that is the keys are not 100% standard. I do have the Keychron PBT caps for it though. Browns bottom out too easily for me but that can be fixed I guess.
Open to suggestions before my fingers go on strike, I'm typing this on a Logitech dome board and I'm hating every second of it.
