Well I fell down the custom keyboard world.

[$anch3z]

Im thinking of getting an Epomaker keyboard with budgerigar switches as I type a lot for work and the mx keys s sometimes doesn't feel that good after a long typing session. was wanting to get an Rt100 with budgerigar switches but can't seem to find any so may have to go with the th 80 model.

Th80 is a good starter keyboard, and budgerigar switches are very light I have them in a 65% board and it took some getting used to.

How did you find them for typing? I was also looking at sea salt silent switches and flamingo switches

Budgerigars are tactile- a very different sound and feel to a linear switch. Flamingos are also fairly light/middle weight. I use both and they're both great value and don't need any further work, but try and think what type of switch you might prefer.

They were ok, I have not tried seat salt but flamingo are also light. My th80 which I bought off this forum came with gateron yellow which is a linear switch and my preferred weight around 50g. Really depends if you are after a tactile, linear or clicky switch, it really is a personnel preference

I’m still using a G910, but fancy something a bit smaller and comfortable. Tempted by:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Ducky Project D Tinker 75% RGB USB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry MX Red - UK (SKU: PER-DCK-00939) = £119.99
• 1 x Ducky Keycap Set (Random) (SKU: PER-DCK-01164) = £0.00

Total: £119.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

Am I crazy?

anyone seen the "60HE Ascend Edition" or tried it?

 

[Nedb37]

No, although interesting use of 'Ascend' when it's commonly associated with Glorious.

Also, their website has a Keychron image being used on it, which is confusing. Are they actually legit?

 

[CGrieves]

Looks like they are a UK company customising other brand keyboards- in this case a Wooting. If prices are OK then fine, but I don't see the point myself.

Ascend have been around for years and got good reviews, I was looking at getting a keyboard from them a while ago.

They're selling a Wooting 60HE for 370 quid... Compared to 165 from Wooting directly (with 10 for shipping).

The only difference being that they've put it in a KBDFans Tofu case with a brass weight and using different keycaps, it's a pretty hefty markup.

Pointless then! Why pay someone else to have all the fun?!

Ahhh ok, was just looking around. Cheers for all the feedback
