I had computer keyboards in mind when posting this, but players of the instrument are welcome to answer too :D

Yes, and full sized Keychron for me. I enjoy being able to put in what ever switches and keycaps I want on a keyboard that's infinitely better than any trashheap in waiting that any Corsair or Razer keyboard is.

Keychron? Which one? Don’t leave me hanging like that.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Keychron Q6 Max. with aftermarket switches of... some random type I forgot long ago. Quiet tactile switches that trigger at a slightly more shallow depth.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nice. Unfortunately My keychron (k10 pro I think) just sits in a corner because it’s really hard to switch back to monolith after using a split. The quality of my split isn’t even half as good as the keychron, but it feels really uncomfortable to use the keychron now

They seem to have a few ergonomic ones these days, though still not seeing any splits. I suppose if you wanted to be crazy you could get two 60%'s and keymap them to a funky split but that's almost certainly too weird and expensive to be worth it. lol

Unfortunately, I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and am looking into building my own

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel you. I'm 'this' close to making my own trackball. Just uhh... as soon as I finish up some other non-computer projects first... damn time always doing the time thing.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, the ploopy trackballs keep getting better

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Ahh very neat. Though those prices are insanely steep... I also kinda' want a different button arrangement, button mechanisms, and ergonomics than any of their offerings.

Still a worthy suggestion for most, though!
