Recommendations on a wireless full-size
« on: Wed, 17 January 2024, 11:49:30 »
I'm looking around for an ideal keyboard for me.

Wireless is a must, and full-size is highly desired.  "Larger the better" since I'll be using this literally on my lap and not at some desk.  Long battery life and integrated palm-rest in it's design are both huge plusses in my book.  For use case, I'm a gamer, a programmer and a bit of a writer.

After much digging around, it seems one of the only players in town for a wireless full-size is the Keychron Q6 Pro.  I also found the Realforce R3 Keyboard R3HB13 with those fancy Topre switches some people rave about, but I'm not sure if I'd like them and would prefer something with typical replaceable switches.

Are there any others out there in this extremely limited market?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm even open to some completely DIY buildup if the parts are out there. 

Thanks

I think the Q6 Pro is probably the best options when it comes it a wireless full size mechanical keyboard.

Topre switches are basically just refined rubber domes and are pretty different to mx switches for examples. I really like them, but it's something you should try if you know someone with them. If you can't do that, worst comes to worst you can just sell it for a bit of a loss. Also not sure about 30g topre never tried it, but did remember people saying it was basically linear so it may not be what you want.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.
