@Edent Looking at the product page, they don't seem to be using Open Source firmware like #ZMK - do you know more? https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-th87
@pjacock I know *nothing* about the mechanical keyboard scene.
1. Does it have a key pad (I can't tell from the photo)?
2. How loud is it?
3. How easy is it to clean?
@Edent Typing comfort would be the main one.
Looked at their website.. wired bluetooth and wifi on the same keyboard.. definitely covering all the bases there.
Presumably the lights are programmable.. what's the software like, is there linux support.
@Edent My black keyboard is filthy. A white one wouldn't stand a chance! Do they have suggestions for best cleaning strat or just replace every X years?
@johnmclear wash your hands before you type?
TBH, I think you can just throw the keys into the dishwasher.
@Edent I'll just put on a hazmat suit before I use my PC then yeah? ;)
That's nice re keys, I recon that'd solve a decent % of the problem then I guess it's IPA and cotton buds for the rest...
TIL tho.. "Computer keyboards should generally be replaced every 3 to 5 years"
I think I'm 10 years with this one...
@Edent How deafening is it? 🙂
@davidgerard @recantha They're louder than I'm used to, but not deafening. The blinking lights which explode from wherever I touch it is a nice distraction.
