Chyros's Holy Panda switches review
GlYQOHtVuy4 @Chyros thank you for this review. There is a local shop here in Romania that has the Glorious PC Gaming Race Panda (another holy panda clone made by Glorious ) in stock and I was tempted by them. I wanted to get close to the way Orange Alps feel (or a "mechanical" Topre feel), but some...

Re: New keyboard Italian 105 ISO layout
Logitech MX-Keys could be what you search for (it also has backlight). Membrane, but it seems that it is a good one ( here's a video review for it ). Logitech also have a palm rest for it, but at 19Eur, I think it is expensive for what it is. If you want a no-bulshit mechanical keyboard (sadly with...

There used to be the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L RGB and Pro S RGB (tkl). They are not in production anymore, but you might find some old-stock, or second hand. You also have the Das Keyboard 4Q You can also get a Realforce RGB, if you want to splurge on Topre. For 60%, there is the poker 3 RGB, ...

how comfortable are you with building one? Here is a nice read regarding building macropads using an Arduino (I think a ProMicro is also ok) to get you started
Or, you could try to find this ISO Enter Macropad (uses QMK) on r/mechmarket or GH classifieds or DT Marketplace

Re: Best Way to Pull Off Keycaps Without a Puller?
First of all, for ALPS keycaps you have to be extra careful. Here is a guide with images . I know, the guide shows a wire puller being used, but, if you can find some stiff and thin enough electrical wire (that you can fit between the keycaps), you can create a loop and then spin it to look like and...

Rant about Leeku MX1800 L3 pcb

Linear MX is pretty scratchy for such a famed (to the extent of total monoculture) switch.

I don’t know why, but Cherry’s own implementation of the design is still disappointi...
