Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

They do have them. They are just accessed via a modifier key similar to shift. See here: https://qmk.fm/keyboards/planck/keymap-printout-default-qwerty.pdf
Oh damn, so you can program your regular letters to do that!!! Nice. I'm JUST starting to get into mechanical keyboards and don't really know much. I have a Corsair K70 pro RGB with red buttons. It's nice, but I just can't get used to typing on it. I'm always hitting two buttons at a time. I have to lift my fingers really high and type. Second issue is the metallic ping. So, I've been doing some research to find me something I enjoy and also easy to type on. I love the clickitty clacks (or what they call thock). ๐
If you don't feel comfortable soldering and building your own I can highly recommend Keychron. Good out the box feel and great build quality. They also have everything from a standard 100% keyboard down to 60%.
I can solder and do all that, but I honestly don't want to now after watching how the process could be very lengthy. I'll look into keychrone. Having dedicated media keys is a very important thing to me, if a keyboard doesn't have it, I won't even look at it. Thank you for the recommendation. Do you have any model number in mind that you recommend? I like red switches and 100% size keyboard
The K5 Pro will probably fit your bill.
Do you have any knowledge about the V6? My friend just gifted me one for Christmas. What are the odds!!!
