Welcome to Geekhack!

Which keyboard are you using?

If you want to find out the sorts of things we are interested in (apart from keyboards and keycaps, of course), have a look through the threads in other geeky stuff and off topic.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Currently I'm using a KUL TKL with Cherry MX Clears. I'm working toward getting a mechanical keyboard for my boyfriend. Thanks for the welcome and tip. I'm checking out all the awesome info available here! I uploaded  a photo of a board that's sparking his interest.

the qfr is a very good option, especially at the price range. i have one as my daily gaming driver and often just type on it for mundane tasks bc i get too lazy to swap boards and it feels so good

if you have keyboards with costar stabs like the qfr, i would recommend getting stabilizer lube from elitekeyboards and following a youtube guide on how to apply. it makes a world of difference

then i would recommend getting a frosty flake from bpiphany for full programmability and a cherry profile keyset, but baby steps

If want the fully programmable frosty flake you can order it from 1upkeyboards.com. No need to send bpiphany emails for that, I think that's the reason for the skiwithpete/bpiphany partnership.

Do you get much ping from the KUL?  I have a CODE TKL with MX clears, and there is a little ping, but I only really hear if it I'm listening for it.  CODE is somewhat notorious for ping, so I guess I got lucky.

The QFR is a great keyboard - I didn't know they were still available!  I have a QFR with MX blacks still going strong, and a QFS with MX greens also still going strong after a few years.
