So, I don’t really have a specific question, more so just looking for any general commentary on or critique of this particular keyboard.
Basically, my old kb broke, been thinking about getting a new one, and this just is the closest to perfect for what I want, that I can find.
Firstly, ability to split, got decent tenting too, at least thats my impression.
Good for ergonomics while sitting, but also I could just run it to / from a nearby couch or bed and be maximum lazy… also I’m kind of crippled and mostly bedridden with support pillows when I’m not doing PT.
But its 2.4/BT/Wired, so… basically pretty versatile within a given location, probably not optimal for frequent transport, but again, I’m currently crippled, so… thats not much of a concern for me at the moment.
I like the color scheme, I like the layout, macro keys, I like the backlighting but not obnoxious level of GAMER RGB.
But… I dunno, I feel like this is somehow too good to be true, there must be something I am overlooking… does anyone see anything amiss about this board, maybe its way too expensive compared to something similar, maybe Royal Kludge has some particular reliability problem I’ve not heard of?
I guess, beyond that, maybe… what do people think of split keyboards generally?
There do not seem to be too many pre-built, split mechanical boards, at least not around roughly $100.
Ok so I looked into the RKS70’s software a bit, and it says it only is supported on Windows… but I could just try my luck running that software through WINE or some Proton version.
I guess worst case scenario I could run Win7 off of a thumb drive or something, lol, RK says 7 will work with it.
Also, it apparently is fully RGB gamer lighting capable, but most of thats via the software, but also I don’t care, just having a solid light with adjustable brightness is doable via the keyboard itself.
Would recording custom keybinds and/or macros work? Still no clue, maybe maybe not.
But ok, so as you describe Brown switches… that honestly sounds great, basically a old school cherry but with two kind of trigger stages, so to speak?
Yeah, that sounds good to me, with the way I tend to type, and would be using this for both gaming and programming/office type tasks, iirc the listings I’ve been eyeing saying they’re Brown switches.
But! I will also look more into the Epo Split65 more as well, thanks again for a very feature/form/price close alternative suggestion!
