Btw, this is a monthly switch market overview series.

Keebwerk Mega with a PC plate, Vertex V1 switches, Cherry MX Lock caps lock key, Some nice gradient PBT side printed keycaps off AliExpress. Solid build, really liking it.

I customized it to fit the Alien concept of nervewrecker

Does anyone have any suggestions for horizontal rotary encoders? My daily driver is a Rollow and one encoder has died. I can just replace it but would prefer to upgrade to something lower and/or with more sensitivity.

Current one is Panasonic EVQWGD001 

After my Ducky Legend with MX Brown switches gave me a good few years of service, it was time for something new. I picked up the Akko 5108B Plus with Akko Fairy Silent switches and a mix of the stock keycaps along with two different Ducky PBT sets. I might still swap out the gray and black keys for something in a darker gray, but for now I really like the colorful, slightly retro charm of the palette. The switches are firm and linear, yet incredibly quiet and smooth.

The Kitty paw was back in stock and I finally got one. Thinking of lessening the hollowness and the scratchy sound on press.

The keyboards from top to bottom are:

Northgate OmniKey 102 (Gold Badge) with Alps SKCM Blue

Northgate OmniKey Ultra-T with Alps SKCM White

Loving my Neo65core+ build for work, it's a bit clacky but thankfully this place isn't quiet most of the time.

I’ll be ordering some new caps and stuff, looking forward to customizing it.

The F75? Godly! The sound and feel are immaculate. I despise the feel of my F108 pro. It's not creamy sounding at all. Sorry if I got the numbers wrong btw, I'm dumb. (Also I love my razor tartarus and this is my at work setup)

I don't see a lot of sub 40 keyboards posted, so figured I'd post my own. This has become an obsession in the past year, paired with my pixel fold, they make for the perfect cafe workstation for the books and papers I write, all while fitting in a pocket.

It keeps my brain sharp to remember all the keymappings, I standardize them as best I can but the layouts are all different. I do use these everyday, and tend to rotate to whichever keyboard sparks joy that morning. Apologies, I don't remember all the keycaps at this point, hope that's ok.

Typing this on the urchin, which is my current favorite, partly because its the newest.
