Keeb

My collection of mechanical keyboards.

Keyboard

Specs

keeb-001

keeb-002

keeb-003

keeb-006

  • USB-C
  • Plate: PC
  • Gasket mount
  • PCB: DZ60 RGB-WKL Hot-Swap
    • South facing (mạch xuôi), but 2 switches in the top left, near USB-C port, are North facing (mạch ngược).

Layout

My layout is based on:

keeb-004

My layout's quirk/gotcha:

  • Replace Caps Lock 1.75U with Control 1.75U.
  • 2 Command 1.5U.
  • 2 Option 1U.
  • 1 Backspace 1.5U.
  • 1 | \ 1U.
  • 1 Left Shift 2.25U and 1 Right Shift 1.75U.
  • 1 Space 7U.

Review

Things I don't like, also honest review from Reddit:

  • The sides don't have any gaskets, so the keys on the far left and right bend down more. They will pop out of the hotswap PCB or the plate if pressing too hard.
  • PCB:
    • Not all keys are South facing.
    • Can not config RGB per key for real. Only support RGB mode switching.

Keycap

Currently, I use Akko 9009 Cherry Profile and EnjoyPBT 9009 Cherry Profile. The space of EnjoyPBT 9009 is not straight so I use Akko 9009 space.

I know I know, I love 9009 color too much.

Be careful:

  • Check if keycap with stab (space, enter, shifht) is straight or not.
  • Check is keycap is tight on switch or not.
