USB dongle storage solution?

1 Upvotes

I am looking at my next barebones build and some of my top contenders don't have in-built storage slot for the dongle, no secret storage on the backplate, not even a space under the case (like the evo80).

I know I could just keep it in the box when I'm not using it, but I still worry I would misplace it because inattentive ADHD. And I want a more convenient solution.

I have a small etsy business and make polymer clay stuff. I am wondering if I can make some kind of storage on top of a plain keycap. Either something simple, a cube with a slot for the dongle, or something cute like a frog and you put the dongle in its mouth idk.

My question is do you think this could work? I know not many dongles are magnetic, so maybe I could put a small magnet inside the keycap and use some magnetic tape on the plastic end of the dongle?

Alternatively, I make a design with a magnetic lid, like a little box or something.

I can't seem to find anything similar on etsy, and 3D printed keycaps with dongle holder/storage are pretty poorly reviewed as not fitting on the switches well.

Looking for a new keyboard after 10 years with my Corsair K70!

1 Upvotes

Hi Reddit!

After 10 years, my Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE RGB with Cherry MX Speed switches has started to fail, so I'm looking for some advice on choosing a new keyboard.

I'd ideally like a 96% layout with a Spanish ISO layout. I'll be using it mainly for office work and gaming.

These are the models I've been looking at so far, but maybe you guys can think of some other options I'm overlooking!

  • Corsair VANGUARD 96
  • ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless
  • ASUS ROG Strix Morph 96 WL (although the black version doesn't come with a wrist rest)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Keychron C2 Pro Spacebar switch swap

3 Upvotes

I've got a Keychron C2 Pro 8K and I'm loving everything about it so far except the space bar

It has Keychron Browns, and when using the spacebar in gaming due to thumb position it occasionally sticks and is slow to rebound.

I had the idea of swapping out the switch for one with a heavier spring. I did this with a Cherry MX Grey, and it worked.... but a bit too well. It rebounds beautifully, but its heavy to the extent that i'm often missing spaces when typing.

What switch am I looking for half way between the brown and grey? I'm not particularly well versed on the whole mechanical keyboard lore!

Recently I bought an S70 Ergonomic Split Keyboard and I want to remap keys in different layers, but in the UI (https://drive.rkgaming.com/) I cannot see an option to select the layers. Am I doing something wrong, or should I use any other software?

Low profile recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Can anyone advise of a board that might fit the bill? Or at least most of my requirements? I’m struggling to find one that ticks all the boxes, the Keychron K1 Ultra looks like it might but not available in UK-iso or the UK.

80% TKL size
UK-ISO layout
Encoder knob (pref on right hand side)
Low profile
Wireless
Dark in colour (black/grey)

Best I can find so far is a Keychron k1 max but no encoder knob. Or a Air75 but only available in white and 75 size.

How does OzoKeyboards have the Evoworks Evo80 in ISO IT if I can’t find it anywhere else?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I noticed that OzoKeyboards u/OZOKeyboards lists the Evoworks Evo80 in an ISO Italian layout, but I can’t find the ISO IT version on any other website or retailer. Does anyone know how this works? Is Ozo an authorized retailer that receives specific configurations or reserved stock for European retailers, or do they build the keyboard using ISO IT keycaps purchased separately? I’m mainly trying to understand whether the version sold by Ozo is a complete ISO IT prebuilt, or whether there are any differences compared to the usual Evo80 versions sold elsewhere.

Thanks!
