wow that really narrows things down here...
anyhow...
most expensive mkg thing you boughts?

>>107816536
Most expensive thing I've bought so far was the Typface monospace, and if the typeplus stabs end up working out I might finally have that board "done" after much fussing. Although I might need to re-seat a couple of switches because the keycaps aren't sitting quite right, and the numpad 0 stabs are a little out of alignment causing it to feel sluggish. But the mx browns are properly broken-in, lubed and filmed, with springs that feel just right and don't ping, and the plate is spray-painted black so the silver doesn't show between my keycaps, and the force break pads have eliminated all case ping (which might not have existed actually, at first I misdiagnosed spring ping as case ping because I'm a noob)...

So now other than Typeplus being ever so slightly problematic and the springs having the tiniest bit of crunch and one stab binding a little and a few keys sitting slightly crooked and the keykobo spacebar sounding just a tiny bit thin and the force break maybe needing to be removed but maybe not it's basically done...

It's not done...

You nitpick. Just ride the scratchy ticks. It's what separates a pro from a scrub in the upper tier of this hobby. That's right, stock unlubed MX Browns with crunchy springs and ticking stabs is a sign of veterancy. A real outlaw can handle it without missing a beat.

What are the best 75% ISO HE keyboards that also work on Linux Fedora? I don't play FPS but I play a lot of rhythm games.
I don't even give a shit about the price I just want to know if there's anything out there better than what keychron or wooting offer.

Got my Tex Shinobi last year, with greens. Waiting for the right Tex Yoda to listing to come up. Been using my Poker III, with simple blacks, since it dropped almost a decade ago now. Not done. Once I have all five configs that I want/need, I'll be set.

Seeing prices from the bad old days is sobering. Important to remember the oldheads who paid through the nose for boards we'd pay ~$300-400 for today. They nourished this hobby in its infancy and paid the R&D costs for all the things we take for granted now.

what's the issue?

>>107820169
Do you know how layers work?
>>
>>107820169
butchering the layout in order to keep these keys which are either useless, a nuisance, or easily bound to a function layer combo because seldom used, is retarded
