deskthority

I am going to be starting a project where I am in need of a full size keyboard with Cherry compatible keys and I do not want to spend too much. The build quality is not relevant in this case, so long as it has a metal plate and stardard keyset (don't care about printing type either). What would be a good board to look for? I don't mind ordering from somewhere like TaoBao but I'd rather avoid having to proxy anything else to the States.

You might want to reach out to MechanicalKeyboards.com with your requirements and see if they may have something on the bench they'd love to get rid of.

Ended up getting a QF XT for $70, cheap enough and I can't complain about genuine Cherry.

Not sure why the eye roll.

I agree Cherry is better than Kailh; but Gateron is where it's at. Cherry switches are very scratchy; but beyond that they continue to sell MX Whites that are highly inconsistent which you could end up with half of them that don't click.

I don't trust a keyboard switch maker that would allow that to pass QC.

Yeah but the Cherry will be desoldered and sold off most likely anyways, and it should be easiest to sell the Cherry. I don't even really like Cherry or clones that much.

Yeah sorry about that ... I must be on my period

Try pulling the cap and reseating the spring.

Wait. Not the character. Hmm…
