Low Profile or customisable indie Mechanical Keyboard?

welshdragon · 25 Sep 2021 at 13:19

I'm after some recommendations for a new keyboard.

Used to use cherry red ducky boards and swapped over to a Logitech MX Keys which I love but I want to go back.

So I am looking for a low profile mechanical keyboard, preferrably full size but happy to lose the number pad for the right board.

A corsair K70 mk2 with Cherry low profile keys caught my eye but not fond of corsair stuff normally.

Epomaker boards also caught my eye, if I cant or shouldnt go low profile then something custom or customizable would be nice.

What are peoples thoughts?

That Corsair isn't real low profile keyboard...
Logitech G815 makes it look thick.

The g815 jas caught my eye too. I really wanted something a bit customisable.

What are Logitech Linear switches like? A worthy cherry competitor?

Those Kailh Choc based switches have shortened ~3mm travel and ~1½mm actuation point.
Linear MX Red copy force curve variant doesn't seem to be much available.
Non-linear MX Brown style tactile switch is more easy to find.

Might head away from low profile and just look for a nice board I can customise.

Are EPOMKR any good?
