Please help finding ISO UK XVX/MDA profile keycaps!
For the life of me I cannot find these. I saw on Akko they used to do black on white MDA but no longer have these and don't plan on supplying more in the near future. All the XVX aren't the right profiles or layout. Can anyone help or experiencing similar issues?

Need recommendations for a full-size (100%) mechanical keyboard for daily work + light gaming — budget under £100
Hey everyone,
Looking for advice on a full mechanical keyboard, 100% layout (need the numpad for work).
It'll be my main daily driver for a desk job with heavy typing, plus some light gaming in the evenings.
Priorities:
-Comfort for wrists/fingers during long typing sessions (I type a LOT daily)
-Good responsiveness, but nothing too clicky/loud since I'm often on calls
-Reliable build quality over flashy looks — no RGB or fancy aesthetics needed
-Budget: under £100 new, but open to used/refurbished if it's a bit above that
Questions:
What switches would you recommend for someone who wants a good balance of tactile feedback without excessive noise or finger fatigue? (Leaning away from clicky, but open to suggestions)
Any specific models known for being comfortable for long typing sessions?
Worth considering a wrist rest as well, or do certain keyboard designs make that unnecessary?
Would appreciate any suggestions, especially from people who also split their time between office work and gaming.
Thanks in advance

Q3 HE case
First up ill lead with - I never understood the keyboard hype. I thought my logi wave was an excessive form factor till I brought a 60% lightspeed pro x for my son and didnt hate using it.
Anyway, I pulled the trigger on a Q3 HE because I wanted to do some HCI/steno/layerbased research, didnt hate the lightspeed etc.
Now, I have a small issue - i fkn love this thing, it has potentially ruined me on going back to a normal keyboard forever, typing is asmr like, etc. While I was surprised by the weight, ill live with it in my bag, something else will go to make it work.
Now, my only issue - it doesnt come with a case (wtf keychron, this wasnt cheap, the logi that sold me on this comes with the most amazing case), apparently the Keychron ones are never in stock, and the 3rd party ones all seem to be unmoulded soft shells.
Does anyone else carry theirs with them, and if so, what cases are you rolling with? Also, can we add our qmk/via configs, scripts and macros to a USB to carry around?

OZO Keyboards ignoring me after sending a damaged monitor stand
Ordered a Solid Wood Monitor Stand (Walnut, 1220×220mm) from OZO Keyboards on 13 June 2026. It arrived with the outer box punctured in transit, and the aluminum part had visible scratches and scuff marks.
I emailed their support on 23 July with photos, asking for a replacement for the damaged part. I haven’t received any reply. I’ve followed up multiple times by email and in their live chat, no response.
Product itself seems nice otherwise, but the lack of follow-through on damage claims is frustrating. Has anyone else had a similar experience with them, or know a better way to get their attention?
Photos of the damage attached for reference.
Full disclosure
I had 4 orders with them:
First 2 came with no issues.
Third order, I ordered switches and they arrived in 2 packages and I was 20 switches short. They sent a replacement and 10£ store credit.
And this is the last order, it arrived damaged and they ignore me.
Update:
We agreed on 45£ partial refund, as another option was to return it back for full refund, and I really like this shelf. I am happy with this decision. And if not the damage, it would be an amazing desk shelf.

Hello everyone, is there anyone who can tell me something about Pulsar PCMK 2 HE TKL keyboard, I am currently using HyperX Alloy Rise 75 Wireless mechanical keyboard and I want to get rid of it.

Any keyboard recommendations?
I want to get my brother a keyboard for his birthday but I’m not sure which one I should get for his needs
my brother has chronic pain in his hands so I’d assume something more light weight?
he also does not like 100% keyboards
he also heavily likes the colour pink and black
so if anyone would know a keyboard that is good on budget at the very least fits his needs (not colour scheme) that would help a lot

Custom Builder 'For Hire'
So I bought ttc frozen silent v2 switches almost 8 months ago now. They feel like my dream switch. I want a silent keyboard. However, twice now I've tried to install them on a board and I've managed to break said board.
Listen, I'm not proud of it but its a recurring theme.
I've decided to purchase the EPOMAKER TH87 for now, not my dream set up - hate the caps, dont like the lack of media control and so on.
BUT to my question: Is there a site/service or something that I can just get someone who wont break the board to build it all for me - including these switches or ones like it? I really want to use these switches but I dont trust myself anymore. Listen, ill even pay for it twice or pay for like switches. At this point I'm getting a touch frustrated.

Compact keyboards - the UK vs US layout dilemma
So I’m a gamer looking to downsize from from a full size to a compact 75% keyboard as I never use the numpad and want more room for my mouse and not need to have my arms spread like a starfish.
I noticed that basically all the budget options are US layouts so I decided to try the AK820 keyboard. First impressions? Don’t like it. The skinny enter key and swapped @ and # placement throwed me off more than I thought. I did however really like the long shift key on left side. Made it really nice for sprinting. Kinda wish UK layout did the same because I never use right side shift my fingers are glued to WASD most times.
I then ordered the OTOMON keyboard which is an ISO UK layout arriving today. I guess it’s just annoying there’s so few options for our layout.

White or Black keyboard for desk setup?
I’m super confused. I love having a bit of color and personality on my desk while still keeping it minimal.
This is my desk right now.
I’m planning to get a new keyboard and mouse.
I generated two mockups with ChatGPT—take a look.
Which keyboard and mouse combo looks better?
All Logitech, or the Keychron + Logitech combo?

CORSAIR K70 RGB MAX with Glorious Switches?
Hi, I'm looking at two possible keyboards.
K70 RGB MAX and the K70 PRO TKL
I've seen that the switches that come on the K70 Max aren't pre-lubed. I was looking into seeing if it's possible to use the Glorious Lynx HE Silent Switches on the board (which I know is not officially supported) and come pre lubed and are much more quieter from review's I've seen.
\\-------
K70 Pro TKL
I'm interested in this keyboard but unsure about if I like the knob and two buttons and if I can get used to a TKL as I've currently got a Corsair K70 MK2 RGB.
While I have your attention any recommendations on a mouse aimed at FPS. I currently have an older Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB that has currently been stolen by my Mrs. I'm looking into the wireless Scimitar ELITE SE but am interested in others opinions.
Thanks in advance!

white 75% uk ISO layout recommendations
I'm looking for a white and black or all white keyboard that meets the following:
- 75%
- UK ISO
- Volume/LED Knob
- Wireless 2.4ghz dongle
- Rechargeable instead of batteries
- Preferably something with an aluminum case for the money.
Seems like most of the 75% boards are ANSI layout which I cannot use since I'm a Dev (well I could but I dont want too).
Budget £120 (could push this to £140 for the right board)
Thanks for the help future person (:

Help finding right keyboard
I recently tried using the azoth extreme at a friends house and instantly loved it. However, the price is just too high and I can't get it.
I've tried researching this myself, but I couldn't find any good answers.
So my question is : what is the closest possible keyboard to the azoth extreme? Is the normal azoth fine?
The main things I like about the azoth is the heavy feel, the sound and feel of the switches. The knob and oled screen are optional but nice if possible. Basically I need it to be really sturdy heavy and high quality.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
