Welcome to IWETHEY!

New There seems to be a rush of mechanical keyboards.
I have a KeyChron (crowdfunded) but am not as impressed with it as I thought I would be. I suspect the key travel is a bit too high. Or the keys have too much horizontal play.

The keyboard I actually really like is the Happy Hacking Keyboard, but I can appreciate that this might not be a suitable thing for all people. It is a very high quality membrane keyboard. I have an older one that is USB and has arrow keys, but they've recently revamped them and it is now Bluetooth by default.

There was also a quite entertaining video made by Linus Sebastian (Youtube channel: Linus Tech Tips) where he reviewed about a half-dozen cheap mechanical switch keyboards all from China.

New The HH keyboard seems to be...
...incomplete. Where's the cursor keys? We're not all vi-using throwbacks writing leaky C code!

Seriously. It's a membrane keyboard with a third of the keys missing.

And holy fuck it's nearly £200?

GTFO, Wade :D

New The HH keyboard is tougher than you think.
Besides, people usually choose it for the layout, not the key technology.

And like I said, I have an older version that has arrow keys. Hopefully they'll add that to a new version soon enough!
