I personally have never considered an “enthusiast” board because even the $270 Thera is so hard for me to being myself to. But once it went below 200 for multiple insane options that you mentioned, no strings attached, I was like, freak. Sooooo stoked to build my Zoom TKL black on black on black babyyyyyyyyyYEEEEE

I’m looking forward to my Zoom TKL arriving. Personally I’m going to use actual PE foam as well as a tempest tape mod. Some people may like how poron switch foam isn’t too over the top, but I love the over the top sound of PE foam. And the tape mod will definitely add some more heft(couldn’t think of a better word) to the sound. No matter which board you get or what preference you have you can’t go wrong and that’s the special part about these boards.

Zoom TKL all the way for me. Love the TKL factor. I think that is the best choise, IF you are not into knobs and you feel like using the Print Screen, Pause exc. The glass back is super nice also and you just cant go wrong with this. Also, Meletrix said that every flaw like the led bleeding is going to be fixed.

I think another thing to consider is the layout of the boards. For example, if you get Zoom TKL but don't use the Pause, SrLock, and the PrtScreen, in my opinion not worth the price and desk space with the size of the board. Then, comes down to 2 of the 75% to choose from with what they offer for personal liking, case, colours, knobs, etc.

@@vincentellsworth7905 I'm not sure whether you misunderstood or get upset with my comment due to your personal preference. But, you need to know that not all people has a big desk space and some prefer getting only a few boards instead of a shelf worth. And getting a new desk just to use bigger size board? Yes, it's good in some ways, but I don't think that's wise without considering your room space and budget. If you think I'm trying to convince people to not to get TKL, my opinion also doesn't mean people should make choice based on it. It's all up people's own choice in the end.

For me, I think objectively, the QK75 is a slightly better board than the Zoom TKL. But I just prefer the aesthetic of the TKL layout so much more, which makes it the better buy for me. Also, personal preference wise, I'm not a fan of the cursive style font on the weights. I think its tacky and overdone on so many boards. The back on the Zoom TKL and the LED side glow really stands out to me as a clean but still unique touch.

I swear this community isn't aware that its being way too unfriendly to newbies most of the time.

@albertko1 Жыл бұрын

For the two 75% boards, they both share a version of the format that I'm not a fan of... 3 key nav. The mode Sonnet, Akko 75s, and GMMK Pro all have the 4 key nav column so you can have Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down along with a Delete key.

I think most people like TKL over 75 because of the aesthetics, but in practice unless you use scroll lock, insert, end, you don't need a TKL. Also the, QK75 comes with a extra F row button which you can map. Someone told me that they don't like the small right shitt..... i guess everyone has their reasons but 75 is my preference.

I love reviews like this coming from a user's perspective without going into all the technical details. Most of us are just average consumers who want a nice keyboard at an affordable price point. The only thing that bothers me about the QK75 is the typing angle at 8 degrees. If they had it lowered to 6 or 7, it would have been an immediate buy.
