“The keycaps go so well with the case color! My current build is also green themed - Neo Ergo with nicePBT Enchanted Forest and Osume matcha tactiles 🌿 It won't be soon, but I'm already planning to try out Keychron Q11 next and I've already picked out keycaps for it 🤭 https://preview.redd.it/ram8686m3eee1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9107eef4219b9df4b2cb918fc3d2da82f0941a1”

“This makes a lot of sense and is concerning ... I bought a Neo Ergo and months later I had a random $1 auth charge (probably probing if card works) and a purchase on another site. Marked it as fraud, got it refunded and a new card, all good. Thought nothing more of it. Fast forward and bought another Neo keyboard as a gift. Soon after woke up to another random $1 auth charge on an international site. I was able to get a new card before any additional charge happened, but it was definitely super fishy.”

“Keychron Q6 Max Keycaps: Cement Grey KBDFans Keycaps Switches: Vertex V1 Stabs: TX AP Mod: Force break (zero ping at all), band aid mod done with electric tape (2 layers) Stock foams I'd like to upload a sound test, but my iPhone mic makes it clacky. It's a mix between marble and thock.”
