No it didn't. The issue with steelseries is unsolvable. Everyone online is still complaining after 6 years. No driver or firmware fixes. Steelseries is dead in the water for me I will NEVER buy another product from them. Shame because skillup constantly is sponsored by steelseries so a ton of people buy it.So I gather changing the power saving setting did not resolve the problem?

Rii 518BT for when I don't feel like taking my mouse and larger KB with my Legion Go. Fits perfectly under the lid. Was expecting a mini USB port due to the product page pictures, came with a USB C port instead.
Cons:
-have to get used to typing on it.
-rubberized coating.......
Oh god, please say you're kiddy about the Go, it's a Windows handheld, it's hard to tell these dark days.I don't know what a Legion Go is, but that looks absolutely atrocious to type on.
I get that it is compact and portable, but if I had to use that, I think I'd probably just type on my phone instead, because thenI don't have to carry anything at all

Anyway, it's for games that can't pull up the onscreen KB in games like Genshin Impact on the login screen. It's ok for 15 bucks.
Humanity is doomed.Not kidding. I also do not know what Genshin Impact is

Nice. I've been thinking about picking up a newer Naga after confirming I could run the SW offline as needed. I wouldn't mind giving Razer's keypads a try, and always wanted to try the predecessor (Belkin N52), but it's hard to justify as I already have a couple keypads.All Razer

I'm assuming you're talking about Genshin? I seen a lot of reviewers play it when testing phones and stuff like ETA Prime, thought I give it a try. Looks like the rumors were from the anti cheat staying active after closing and uninstalling, they since have fixed it.I looked it up. Ew. It's chinese F2P spyware.
I wouldn't fuck that with yours, man.
that's beautiful. how do you feel about the 96% layout? i considered trying one when i was keyboard shopping a bit ago but i figured it would be a little too difficult to adapt toNew keyboard build. GMMK 2 96% ANSI (QMK VIA with SignalRGB interrogation) Kailh Box White switches, tape modded PCB, switch and stab pads, Glorious screwin stabs (lubed). I vinyl wrapped the deck, and used a purple gradient keycaps.
Thank you. I have gotten use to it. It takes time, but once you do its really nice. The customization ability of VIA makes it super easy to get use to. The zero on the numpad side is the hardest part to get use to. Its small and kind of hard to hit without looking at the keyboard. Its a memory thing and I will get use to it after a while.that's beautiful. how do you feel about the 96% layout? i considered trying one when i was keyboard shopping a bit ago but i figured it would be a little too difficult to adapt to
Keychron are absolutely fine, I'm about to buy my second one.QC for Keychron seems poor from what I've seen posted. Red Dragon and similar I'd avoid altogether. Do you have anything in mind for switch type (clicky, linear, tactile)? What sort of functionality do you want, macros, programmable, extra keys, etc.? Full size or something else?
Seconded (thirded?). I have two S1 boards and haven't had the first issue with either of them. Suuuuper solid and surprisingly heavy, and no stupid bloated and buggy software required to use them!Keychron are absolutely fine, I'm about to buy my second one.
I completely forgot about this thread--for some reason I either stopped getting notifications about it or I missed one. I bought one of these after reading this post, and I love it. I got the 37gf mint switches.Despite my disappointment with the Nuphy Air60, I gave them another shot with their new Air75v2. Glad I did! This one fixed everything I found lacking on the Air60. Wireless mode is good (BT & 2.4), bigger/better battery, built-in flip down feet instead of those wretched magnetic plugs. The 75v2 now has full QMK/VIA capability, too. I opted for the Aloe 37gf switches this time. My typing speed really picked up once I got used to the light touch. If you're interested in a low-profile wired/wireless mechanical keyboard, I'm happy to give this one my highest recommendation. Nuphy now offers the Air60v2 if you prefer a smaller keyboard.

Got a "your product is now in-stock" notice from Keychron, this morning. Impulse overwhelmed reason and I bought the Q1 HE sitting in my cart. Hope I don't regret it.I've purchased several Keychrons over the past 5+ years. Build quality always has been solid, but Bluetooth connectivity to PC was lousy. It's a common complaint with Keychron. Ironically, BT to Apple devices (MacBook, iPad Pro, iPhone) worked fine.
I'm strongly considering Keychron's new Q1 HE which should be released this month or in June. Just waiting on some reviews. The Q1 HE has 2.4GHz wireless so no need to mess with BT.
Delivered today!!Got a "your product is now in-stock" notice from Keychron, this morning. Impulse overwhelmed reason and I bought the Q1 HE sitting in my cart. Hope I don't regret it.
EDIT: Shipped today
Well, if the reviews I've read recently are anywhere near accurate & unbiased, it's supposedly a dream to type on, but as usual, YMMV, since what works for some may or may not work for others, so good luck & please post your thoughts whenever you can....
After just a few hours gaming/typing on this keyboard I'm sold on magnetic switches. The customization options are pretty fucking cool. I'll give this keyboard a real workout over the next few days. I've got several 100+ page documents to edit/rewrite before the end of the month.Well, if the reviews I've read recently, it's supposedly a dream t type on, but as usual, YMMV, since what works for some may or may not work for others, so good luck & please post your thoughts whenever you can....
If the only they made a full-sized one, I'd probably buy one, if for nothing else but to try it out those supposedly magnificent maglev keys
Don't be mad about that! Be proud! This means you can stock up on them because no one else even knows about them. Kinda like all the Keytronic boards I have. Or back when a Model M was a 'noisy heavy keyboard' that no one wanted.I have done the worst thing ... I kept using this *** **** Cherry G81-1800HAU (Cherrry MY) board for about 2~ weeks now... and now I like this stupid keyboard..
I would end up liking the worst keyboard in the world (hyperbole alert).
Nice! What do you plan to do with the Navys and Clickez? They sound like my jam and should work great on this evga z15.After getting two switch testers plus a few more switches for a total of 75 different switches I quickly narrowed down to the switches I received today Kailh Box Summer. The sound is awesome and they are fantastic to type on. They are way more noisy than say Kail Box Navy but nowhere near as heavy. I also tried a Clickez 40g but too heavy to type on and not as pleasing sound as the Box Summers.
Yikes. I could never type on that with those apple-style flat chicklet/island keys,
Give me full keypress travel, or give me nothing at all
So awesome! I love how great cases just continue to live on. And the amount of drives you can still add to that! I counted at least 5x 3.5" including the floppy spot on the front.that is my old Yeong Yang YY-0221 cube case that I bought back in 2003 or so. I traded it to my brother back in 2009 or 2010, and it got traded a few more times to other people over the years.
One day in 2016 I was at a friends house buying a dual xeon workstation from him and he mentioned he had acquired my old cube case. I told him that I wouldn't mind having it again as I really liked it.
The following year he called me up and asked if I still wanted it, told him yes, and asked how much, he said I could just have it.
I ordered some ICYDock 5in3 cages and moved my Plex Server into it a few years ago.
Thank you for the details! Crazy how alike we think as that would have been my approach as well.I think it would be totally possible to DIY some elevated feet on the back. I was going to do this, but it turns out I adapted to the angle much more easily than I thought I would.

Heck, those four screw holes near the top/back look like good candidates. Get a multi-sized screw on rubber foot kit, and pick the size that works the best. They usually come with wood screws. Obviously don't use those. Find screws with the same thread size as the keyboard comes with, but longer (make sure they have a large enough head to catch in the feet, or get a bunch of small washers), and screw them into those holes.

The feet would have to be rather narrow and tall, or they would stick off the sides and be weird, but I think with some searching this is totally doable.
Had I not found that I adapted to the angle much faster than I anticipated, I totally would have gone down this path. Might take a little hunting to find small enough feet (most I can find are too large, but I think it would totally be possible.
(there are plenty to stick on ones that are smaller, but I'd be concerned about them constantly coming off, with something this heavy that sees this much movement. This might even be an opportunity to 3D print something custom that will fit well)
Sometimes when no one makes what you want, you just have to get a little creative and make it happen yourself
CTRL-ESC anytime I need that pesky win key.Win-key start typing search, hit enter. it's the fastest way to launch almost anything.
Glad to hear someone using this, particularly with the HE switches. I really hope the industry can standardize on HE switches and PCBs/sensors that are hot swap, and compatible with QMK/ZMK/Bazecor/Chrysalis open source firmware/config software. There have been a few attempts over the years from Wooting to SILOBeam/InputClub etc... but thankfully Gateron is making use of a couple of HE type switches. Now, the only issue is standardizing open source firmware and software support for HE hotswap switches, so you're not dependent on proprietary configurators for each board that uses them. When all this is done then hopefully it will mean that software will start making use of/support for HE switches and all they can do with the analog activation etc...without need of some 3rd party software in the middle (often specific to the board). With luck more boards will start supporting mech HE . Enjoy the board!I've been using my new Keychron Q1 HE for a few days and love just about everything it has to offer. Build quality is outstanding. You could use this heavy keyboard as a bludgeoning weapon if you run out of ammo during the zombie apocalypse. Adding 2.4GHz wireless was long overdue and works so much better than Bluetooth. I'm now fully converted to magnetic switches. Typing on my other mechanical keyboards just feels wrong now.
I'm going to get a different set of keycaps. I don't get why keyboard manufacturers put non-shine through caps on keyboards with LEDs. A minor annoyance is not being able to tell if CAPS LOCK is active since you can't see any lighting change. There's no height adjustment so I got a pair of little flip up risers ($7 Amazon) to raise the keyboard to a more comfortable typing position.
My only real complaint is that the hot swappable switches don't wanna be swapped. I've tried several different tools, but just can't remove any of the switches. I prefer a lighter touch, so bought a set of Gateron Dawn magnetic switches along with the keyboard. I'm worried about damaging my keyboard if I use too much force to pull the switches so am at a loss as to what to do. -- SEE EDIT BELOW!!
I'm very pleased with this Q1 HE. At $220, it ain't cheap, but I think it's well worth the price.

EDIT: I checked a few YT videos and found a solution. By using a watch band removal tool, I was able to pry up the switch with ease. Just 78 more switches to go!
