Hello. I’m searching for a TKL board with dedicated media keys, volume wheel, and brown switches.
I just can’t do linears. Just don’t feel right.
I’ve browsed around, both on amazon and in microcenter and everything seems to be linear switches nowadays and even when I find one with browns, they rarely have the media keys I need.
I’m also not trying to pay $100+ for a keyboard. Spent way too much money on boards of that price for them to keel over and die as quick as the china fodder on amazon. (For example the K70 mk.2 that I have that refuses to not go bonkers whenever it feels like it.)
Thanks to anyone that can offer some help finding me something.
No worries. Hope it works out for you. The truly expensive gamer boards are rarely any higher quality than a reputable china budget board at half the price. Next thing you know, you’ll be all grown up and getting scammed by shady idiots running group buys for $400 barebones boards and $150 more for keycaps!
Or you could be like me and decide that you know better than IBM, Apple, and every other computer company and design your own layouts, soldering, lasering, and 3D printing everything because it would be “weird” to spend several hundred bucks on a keyboard, but spending dozens of hours over god knows how many evenings with physical tools, AliExpress, CAD, OctoPrint, and half a dozen keyboard websites… THAT’s much more reasonable. 😂
