Al68 w/ moondrop lunalite and dash75 keycaps

Honestly I love this. My Dash75 kicked the bucket, but this has been really fun and reliable. Love the way it sounds too!!

Best Hot Swappable 75% Keyboard?

Hey guys

I'm looking to buy a new hot swappable 75% keyboard and would like to know what you guys think are the best ones. Right now I have a Keychron K2 v2 and I really like it. It has hot swappable switches but the switches are in too tight so they aren't removable without breaking the switches that are already in the keyboard. I tried to take a switch out of my keyboard yesterday and the top of the key and sides of the key broke off when I tried to remove it so now I'm stuck with a keyboard with a broken switch in it that won't come out.

I'm trying to put in Kailh Super Speed Silver switches in so I would like a 75% hot swappable keyboard with those switches in it if there is any. Budget is not an issue. I live in the US and I'm okay with ordering sperate parts. I prefer a full 75% keyboard that is not missing any keys which is like the Keychron K2 v so prefebly nothing with extra spaces, knobs, or screens will work. Also, does anyone know of any high quality keyswtich puller's and keycap puller's? The ones that I have are plastic or cheap metal and I really want to get some high quality ones. Once I get a high quality keyswitch puller and keycap puller I'll try and remove the broken switch again.

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove a broken switch?

Here is a link to the keyboard that I currently have and the switches that I am trying to install.

yunzii yz75 driver issues

Hello, I ordered yz75 (pro wireless) as my first mechanical keyboard but I just can't get the software working, when I open it, I see it in the taskbar but nothing is opening at all. I've tried everything. Does anyone have solution or have an installer? Thanks

tried my first custom keyboard build.

So, I’m a total beginner and had no clue where to start. My brother decided to give me his keyboard barebones, and I thought, why not customize it? I wanted to go for a creamy keycap color to give it a retro vibe but still match my pink-themed setup.what i thought im getting

I found the OEM Wheat Grey set on Keychron’s website and ordered it, thinking it was perfect. But when the box arrived.Turned out to be a disappointing purchase. I ordered Version C, assuming it would have the Q1/Q2 color scheme shown in the image (which I loved), but apparently, I didn’t check Version C’s actual image before buying.

Now I’m stuck with this set, and the worst part? I can’t replace the ESC and Enter keys with rose pink caps to match the pink theme. 🥲 Feeling pretty bummed about it.

what i got

It’s my first build, and I’d say I’m doing well! What do you guys think? :D!

Thoughts?

I always go back to my HMX switches. They already feel complete without extra steps.
