Unfortunately it looks like the web version is lacking features that the windows-only app has, which is a disappointment.
Webapps are quite common now
Yeah any QMK based keyboard can be fully configured with web/electron apps like VIA.
Where does it say that and in what context? I can't seem to find it.
Uhhh niiiceee
Been a loyal bequiet customer before. Veeery interested how good those will come out to be
Edit: Looks nice but why in the hell is this thing not wireless? Or at least an option for a wireless variant?
Fully equipped variant costs 250 euros but is only USB pluggable. In what century are we living in?
Gaming latency ig
Hasn't been an issue in years thanks to 2.4GHz dongles.
Next issue is charging. Why complicate things for a stationary keyboard?
Heh. Dongles.
Germany is one of the few European regions to have a decent presence in the mechanical keyboard market
It makes since as that is where Cherry is from.
Wooting (Dutch) ist overlooked?
What do you mean deutch is overlooked? He said german. (/j)
Linux support?
Just looked at the keyboards and now my brief enthusiasm is gone. Basically everything I look to avoid in most mechanical keyboards is on full display here. Floating keys, prominent glowing logos, extraneous controller devices for macros, etc.
Looks good spec wise
Only nitpicks I can see is the logo on top and the missing leds under the spacebar
I like the fact you can move the number pad to the left hand side (left-pad lol).
I've always fancied a left hand numpad, but never quite enough to buy a separate one for a TKL, or a special board.
A very appropriate name for a German product, lol.
I'd unironically buy something branded "sei still!" over "be quiet!".
"Fresse!"
"bitte ruhe!"
Keyboard looks cool would buy it if it wasnโt mechanical
Ever tried a mechanical one? I would never go back.
I did and I switched back to the mx keys. The advntages doesn't justify the price increase for me and I prefer the aestethics of a smaller, sleeker keyboard on my desk.
But that's the beauty of a free market. We don't need "one size fits all" products, we all can have our preferred keyboards, whether that be a top-end mechanical keyboard or a low-profile traditional one :))
Sure, I'm not judging, you know what's best for you. Just a bit surprised, that's all.
Idk, I guess I'm just not as sensitive as you guys _/(0.0)\_
But I do need my vertical mouse. That is where I feel a massive difference.
What is a vertical mouse? Classic one?
this is mine:
(I don't want to upload a Picture because I don't want to burden @[email protected] with more storage cost for the server, so I hope this link works for you lol)
Nice, thanks.
How... Wait.... You like rubber domes more? Why?
Because they are silent and don't annoy me with clicking sound
There are mech kbs that are silent and not clicky, btw
The whole point of the bequiet keyboards and mice is to be quiet. You should try them!
I've watched a review on these and frankly speaking, these are as silent as non-mechanical ones
Then pick non-clicky switches, like cherry reds or browns.
Huh? If you don't like how clicky it is, you can find other switches there are hundreds of them all with different feels some of them silent....
While what you said is true we need to understand tht paying more money for a mechanical keyboard to then have to modify it is very unattractive to the vast majority of customers (including me, and I use Linux).
What are you talking about? You can get one with your preferred switches ootb.
