2PCs with a single keyboard, mouse, I wish there’s something that works, I want to control 2 PC’s with one keyboard, no need to switch monitors I have a dedicated monitor for each PC (Windows 10, 11)....
Works great in some situations (I run two dev environments and a couple of test machines as VMs), but not always. I need a physical Mac to do iOS development / builds, so need a USB switch to switch my keyboard and mouse to it when working.
I have the Q5 Pro, and it’s definitely thocky (and a beast of a slab of aluminum after having a few layered acrylic cases).
The Max is probably a bit less thocky with the extra foam (it has 3 more foam layers than the Pro).
I haven’t used the Shift V2, but for me the extra column of keys and the full ten key, was more important than the aesthetics and adjust-ability of the Shift case.
Plate and stabs are stock (so screw in stabs, and PC plate).
The stabs are the least rattly that I’ve had so far (although my daily driver for the last few years no stabs, as it didn’t have any keys over 2U).
I’ve had acrylic, and stainless plates on my prior custom builds, and my Ergodox has aluminum plates, and I’m quite happy with the poly carbonate. At some point (when they come back in stock) I’ll probably get an aluminum plate just to check it out, and will grab the Pro => Max sound kit as well.
I’m using the K Pro Banana switches. I’ve run Gateron Browns primarily, but I my Erogodox has the V2 Zealios, and another build has R6 Zealios. The Zealios were a bit heavy for me for all day typing, but I like the banana switches.
I’m using the stock caps for now as well. I’m not entirely sure I love them, but I figured I’d give them some time before switching to a GMK or DSA set.
I’ve been looking around for one; search (in my Lemmy client) doesn’t find one, and while there seems to be at least one in Reddit, the only communities listed on qmk.fm are Reddit and Discord....
No QMK specific community that I’m aware of either, but in addition to this one there’s also mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml but it’s pretty quiet over there.
Hello friends. I am new to the mechanical keyboard world. I purchased my first, a Keychron K5 Pro. I love it. Feels great, works great, sounds great. I would like to replace a handful of the keycaps however, trying to just customize a bit....
I don’t have much advice on finding the caps, or what will fit on it, but the profile that Keychron sells on their low profile boards is LSA (and appears to be their own profile). Using the profile name should give you a bit better search results, but it looks like there isn’t much out there that will fit those low profile switches.
I know, this isn’t a keyboard post, but lets be real, if there’s any communities that would know/care about programable foot pedals it would be this one....
If you are handy with basic soldering and some programming, you could easily wire these to a controller, and program them to a key. That’s what I did with the ones I had.
New(er) to the trend, and I was just curious if there were any particular uses for when one key profile is better ergonomically/functionally/etc or if it’s always more just an aesthetic/preference reason
Just switching to a basic qwerty layout for gaming would simplify that quite a lot
This … I’ve been a Dvorak typist for 15+ years. I have a querty layer for gaming, and a second Dvorak layer for when I switch from Windows to MAC so that I can use my same single key chords (cut / copy / paste / undo / redo / etc).
KVM switch - Any recommendations? (en.wikipedia.org)

Drop Shift V2 vs Keychron Q5 Max vs Wobkey Rainy75 (EDIT - Monsgeek M2 also). Thoughts, opinions, experiences?
I need a good thock.
Is there a QMK Lemmy community?

Use Cases for Particular Profiles?
