Unless something very different comes along I don’t think I’ll be moving on from this keyboard.

Ryeworks M0110 hotswap keyboard with solenoid, PCB and FR4 plate both with flex cuts, Kailh box pro deep sea whale tactile(what a mouth full), staebies stabilizers and cherry profile double shot pbt keycaps.

The amount of flex, the tactiles with the solenoid, the layout, everything is exactly as I would want. I keep looking and browsing different keyboards, switches, stabilizers and keycaps but I’m just not seeing anything I feel like buying and trying.

I was using one with high profile, dark colored abs keycaps but just wasn’t satisfied, tried a light color one with higher contrast caps and it was a huge improvement. I then went to a split left shift and having a function key on that side made it perfect for me.

I guess I solved my desire, which should be a good thing right?

    Keyboards are a tool. You’ve find one that works for you, and now you’re done. You win

    It’s not everyday I see ISO standard mechanical keyboard on the Internet. I love the fat enter key.

        US layout is ANSI (long horizontal enter key). This is a UK ISO keyboard, though this one isn’t standardised (see where the control key is placed).

        I really dislike the fact that, in Europe, when you cross a border, the keyboard layout can be totally different.

          This is neither a UK ISO layout, nor a US ANSI. It’s an ISO layout that uses the US ANSI positions for the symbols.

            Yeah it’s an amalgamation of a layout, raised with a big ass enter keyboard, later switched to a standard ansi and always hated that backslash and pipe had a large key? Always bothered me. After a while I got my hands on a wyse 50 keyboard and did a soarer’s mod on to make it usb and was happy for awhile until they key combos resulting in other keys finally pushed me to moving on. I don’t remember many but ctrl+w+e would send tab, not great when I’m crouch walking and go to open a door.

            Would still love to have a space larger than 7, that 9.75 space bar was something else… Also got me to love control below tab. Though now I don’t even want a caps lock key, if I for some reason really want to use it I have key combos, both shifts works fine for me should I need it.

      It’s not everyday I see a Strafe avatar on the internet!

      I love stomping on gluttons

      e: wait, I know you

        You’re probably the first person to tell me about Strafe. I used to play this game so much.

        You know me? :o

          You made a post about strafe and that’s where I know you from.

          I recently went back to 100% the game last week. Hangtime achievement was hard af.

    How the fuck do you f2 your army on this keyboard when you’ve got dark templars in your mineral line?!

      By pressing function+2, though in using TD instead of MO I do have to wait 200ms… I like having F13-F24 on a third layer though.

    I want something like this, BUT (Always there is a but…) with Fkeys and Arrow keys

    Anyway, its gorgeous.

      I use that layout. Instead of a huge keyboard I use mod layers. Very handy and I prefer it. I get why others wouldn’t.

      As someone who used to be enamored with huge keyboards I don’t get it myself, I tried it because I thought it was neat and next thing I know I’m just stuck here.

    Congratulations on settling on your endgame keyboard!

    Once got my Moonlander and put on Dolch XDAs with O-Ring, I called it a day. Every now and then I’ve been musing about an Ergodash, but I just don’t have a good reason to switch.

      Same with my Moonlander. Once I had it set up the way I like, there’s not much to change, even though I get the itch sometimes.
      I can’t imagine going back or using a staggered keyboard anymore tho, my fingers hurt just looking at this kb

    I had no idea any solenoid keyboards were being made. Looks like a solid endgame right there.
