Keychron V1 vs Neo Ergo

“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.”

“My first impressions of the Keychron V1 were fairly positive: [https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetKeebs/comments/ws9zyg/comment/il0odkt/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetKeebs/comments/ws9zyg/comment/il0odkt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Unfortunately, a lot has changed over the course of 6 months. Here are some of the things I disliked about it: * The tray mount design is overkill. Why does it need 12 standoffs? On top of that, they are all made out of plastic with no metal inserts for the screw holes unlike the top case. This is a problem, because those plastic standoffs will break easily if you plan to do mods often. I eventually read up suggestions on what I can do about them, and I found one dude claiming that they just cut them off. I took a leap of faith and did just that. Now, I wouldn't recommend others with this as there's a chance you can break off the base of the standoffs along with the bottom of the case. Fortunately, things went pretty well on my end, and now I have a more consistent sounding board. * The stock stabilizers aren't as great as I thought they were. After just a few months of use, the stabilizers started showings signs of ticking and I eventually had to replace them. * The little plastic arm for the Windows and MacOS toggle switch breaks easily. If you're going to do mods often, then please keep this mind when putting the keyboard back together. Make sure the plastic arm sits inside the socket behind the plastic slider. And yes, I'm talking about this because I broke mines off already. * I have other issues with the board, but they are more of a personal thing. It's still a very solid entry level board despite all my complaints.”
