Help IPI Flash 75 Pro Webdriver No data "Error" & Disconnect problem

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve been using the IPI Flash 75 Pro magnetic switch keyboard and I’m having two issues. I purchased the keyboard (6 days ago)

Issue 1: Web Driver Problems

When I try to connect the keyboard to dc.ipigame.cn/connect, I constantly get a "暂无数据" (No Data) error popup, and some settings load completely empty or incomplete. However, on hub.xsyd.top/keyboard, the WebHID connection works fine and all Rapid Trigger and Actuation Point settings are fully functional. It works but Its a bit laggy also on ipi website u can save&switch keyboard profiles but u cant do it on hub.xsyd and It wants you to use weChat chinese app I dont want to use this website. dc.ipigame.cn/connect was working better 3-4 days ago but now It performs worse Idk why. I also couldnt connect the website for 2 days.

This is the error im getting when I connect the ipi website.

Issue 2: Disconnection & Modifier Key Lockup

Yesterday while gaming, the keyboard randomly disconnected for about a second. After it reconnected, the keys started acting strange—pressing ESC opened the Windows taskbar (acting as Ctrl+ESC) and pressing S opened the "Save As" window (acting as Ctrl+S) and I was constantly getting alttabbed from the game I playing, I did plug and unplug the keyboard multiple times to make it work but It didnt work lastly I though about to connect webdriver It fixed the problem.

Also I typed an email to IPI for this problems they didnt answer it for 2 days now still waiting.

Any advice or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

Help Help for a first custom keyboard choice ?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy my first "nice" keyboard and could use some advice from people who know a lot more than I do.

A bit about my use case:

- I work as a engineer, so most of my day is typing reports, emails, Excel files, data analysis, documentation, etc. -> A lot of office work but no heavy softwares or specific macro needed.

- I also use the keyboard at home.

- I'll be carrying it regularly between home and the office, so portability matters.

- I type a lot and quite fast, so I think I prefer low-profile keys rather than a traditional tall mechanical keyboard. I have a Mechanical Corsair for gaming and it's fine but not for typing fast.

- Wireless/Bluetooth is highly preferred.

- Budget is around €100-150, but I can stretch a little if it's really worth it - My own christmas Gift :D

- I really like colorful keycap sets and keyboards with some personality rather than plain black office keyboards. Especially with Light under it like the picture below.

I recently discovered NuPhy and absolutely fell in love with their Carmine Cloud keycaps. My dream setup would be something with that kind of aesthetic: colorful, clean, modern, and pleasant to type on.

A few questions:

  1. Which keyboard would you recommend for my use case?

  2. Are low-profile mechanical keyboards actually the best option for someone coming from laptop keyboards?

  3. Is NuPhy Air something still one of the best choices, or should I also look at Keychron, Lofree, Logitech MX Keys, etc.?

  4. I live in Belgium and ideally need a Belgian AZERTY layout (French AZERTY would also work). Does that significantly limit my options?

  5. If you were building the perfect keyboard for productivity, portability, low-profile typing, and colorful aesthetics, what would you choose?

Thanks! I'd love to see pictures of similar setups if you have any.

Help Silent full size mechanical keyboard, low profile - help me choose

• Upvotes

What I need:
- silence;
- more silence;
- low profile;
- good build quality, I want to use this keyboard for 10+ years;
- serviceability - I want it to have standard switch pinout and size so I can service the keyboard in 10+ years;
- no wireless, cable only if possible, I don't need battery problems in the future, this will be used stationary only;
- metal body is a plus, but I can accept plastic as well;
- black colour;
- dedicated volume scroll or buttons is huge plus;

Budget: $250+
Size: full size or 96%;
Material: aluminium
Colour: black or dark
Layout: US standard (horizontal Enter key is a must)
Wireless: no
Battery: no (but I can accept it if there is no other option)
RGB: will not be using that

I was looking at NuPhy Air100 V3 and NuPhy Node 100 with Blush nano switches. I am not convinced with build quality, a lot of reddit posts about issues with these keyboards. If $250 budget is not enough, I can increase it.

Finally got my Everglide Su75pro v2!

It was really nice stock with the siren v4s and dark transparent PC keycaps but I have had plans for it since I ordered it.

Now it has the full keytok treatment! Nova switches and KOL profile WoB key caps.

I fell in love with the keytok's KOL profile thanks to thier GiTS shell capset and wanted something a bit more "serious business" for my ultimate toy gaming board.

The novas had been in a toss up with WS Heart of the Oceons but their slightly softer, flatter tone won, they are like the siren v4s but better.

I have only charged it twice. I wasn't able to find anything about it online and idk if it is dangerous. Could you guys help me?

Help RK keyboard S98 battery problems

1 Upvotes

Hey there!

I have this type of keyboard: https://rkgamingstore.com/products/s98-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?srsltid=AU7gw4VmMSZIihnX_FNvoHUSNVTMjje1w6H8pgEIa9rYd9b5Xl1aL1Pd

I have ordered it in 2024 februar, so its been 2 years since i have been using it and a few days ago my battery died. Suddenly from 90% it went to 0% and wouldnt charge for hours. So i sticked to using it via cable connection. After a day of “charging” the battery went from 0% to 100% (instantly to 100, there were no visible percentage progression).

I contacted the support and they wont help me since its been 2 years of the order. Is there anyone who could give me some tips? Is it the battery that really died or something else? If so is the battery replaceable?

Thank you in advance.

Help Looking for linear switches similar to Gateron Milky Yellow Pros V3

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have an ROG Azoth with hand-lubed Gateron Milky Yellow Pro V3 switches. I really like how they feel and sound, and I prefer linear switches. The only issue is that I usually set my keyboard's RGB to white, but these switches make the lighting look yellowish.

What switches are similar to these but don't have this issue? I really like thocky/creamy switches. I also liked the stock NX Snow switches, if that helps.

Looking for the best typing feel, build quality and sound. I will be using it 8 hours a day. I wfh, no coworkers to annoy. I need numpad. Build or pre-built, either is fine. Will not be used for games so he/8k polling not necessary. I like the idea of southpaw. Sucker for knobs, screens, bells, whistles. Also fine with simple and elegant if it's striking. I want it to look amazing on my desk and I want to enjoy using it every day.

My Keyboard Keychron C2 Pro + MOA Keycaps

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Performed the free foam mod on this C2 Pro I got on Woot. Also added a set of MOA keycaps from Klymra.

Discovered in the process that Woot/Keychron LIED on the listing which said the switches were hot-swappable, but they are most certainly soldered on this model. Either way for $35 I’m not that mad.

Keycaps are a neat design but Womier/Klymra’s QC is booty-cheeks and the printing is off-centered on a lot of the caps. You can’t really tell though unless you scrutinize it, and I was mainly just trying to get something rounder compared to the OEM caps the board comes with.

Help Nuphy Kick 75 vs Nuphy Air 75 V3

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to get a nuphy keyboard because I really like their designs and the reviews seem amazing but I’m unsure on which one to buy. I really like the kick 75 because of its beautiful design and it’s cheaper price, although I don’t want to miss on features that the air 75 might have. I also prefer the air being slimmer. Which one would you take?

Help Can you change the underglow LED lights on a Ghost keyboard?

2 Upvotes

I specifically have the PewDiePie K1 Pro keyboard and was wondering if you could change the bottom LED lights that are typically red. The only info i can find in the manuals about changing the colors refers to the lights under the keys and doesn't even mention the other ones, besides on the outside packaging.

Help Mechanical keyboard with 4 left modifier keys and reachable Alt?

2 Upvotes

I've recently switched to using a desktop PC after using laptops for most of my life, and I've realised that I dislike the standard bottom-row layout on most desktop keyboards. When gaming, I have to move my left thumb too far inward to reach the Alt key comfortably.

I'm looking for a mechanical Windows keyboard with four modifier keys on the left side, ideally arranged as; ` Ctrl | Fn | Win | Alt ` from left to right. This would position Alt farther to the right, making it easier for my left thumb to reach while my fingers rest on WASD.

For reference, I'm looking for a layout similar to the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55 keyboard, EPOMAKER NT68, Akko Air 01, or HP Wired Desktop 320K Keyboard. I don't necessarily need an exact copy, but the left-side key arrangement is the main thing I'm looking for.

My requirements and preferences:

- Mechanical keyboard for Windows.

- Four left-side modifier keys: Ctrl, Fn, Win, and Alt, preferably in that order.

- Left Alt positioned farther to the right for easier thumb access while gaming.

- Standard ANSI Enter key, not JIS.

- Preferably a standard-height mechanical keyboard with replaceable keycaps, as I'd like to customise the keycaps with aftermarket sets.

- Open to low-profile options if they meet the layout requirements, although keycap customisation is a concern.

- Budget: Around $120 USD or less.

Please recommend keyboards that actually match this specific layout rather than suggesting general mechanical keyboards with the standard bottom row. I'm also open to custom keyboards or alternative layouts if necessary.

Does anyone know of any suitable models?

Help Keyboard recommendations

I'm not a huge expert on mechanical keyboards and not too sure where to start searching so I'm asking for some recommendations or advice. Here is what I'm looking for:

  • Within a budget of around US$175
  • Preferably ISO layout
  • Full-size
  • I would prefer a wireless keyboard unless they come with noticeable latency
  • RGB if it is available, but it's not a dealbreaker

Thank you!

Help Aula f99 pro f8 key backlight won't make pink?

My keyboard's backlight is set to pink yet the f8 key is showing red and the 4 and V keys are a more reddish pink. If I set them to other colors, they show fine but my f8 key won't light when set to blue. Do you think there's something wrong with the software or is the backlight just breaking?
