If it’s a government type place, I can say that I can access the VIA site and connect to and update my keyboard. However, having a keyboard that allows a text file to be saved on it would probably be against policy, so I’m not sure that would even be a good workaround.

As a QA myself, this is what dealing with developers (and I this case, wizards) is like. Way too much trust in their code.

Thanks, I think I’ll give the Compact a shot. It’s not that much more than a Tartarus and it has way more buttons.

I looked at it before, but dismissed it because of the price and general weirdness. However, the more I look at it, the more it seems like a good fit. I’m not super keen on Omron switches as I’ve had entirely too many start double clicking over the years (the optical switches in the Tartarus Pro are a selling point for me), but I suppose I can always replace them.

Since you said you have the Classic, how do you feel about the thumb button? I suspect I’ll end up using buttons for movement in most games rather than the thumbstick, in which case I’ll still want jump to be tied to my thumb. In that sense, the Tartarus having the button under the thumb makes more sense to me, but maybe I could get used to the Cyborg.

Hmmm, seems a bit pricier and doesn’t include any palm rest or customizable tenting. Not totally ruling it out or anything, just doesn’t immediately seem like what I want.

I have the Air75 from Nuphy and it is my current office board. It’s a very nice keyboard. I guess the new model uses QMK now, which is even nicer, so easy recommendation from me. I haven’t used their newer switches, but I have the tactiles from the old model and they feel quite nice.

Okay, all good info. I will eventually want to run more electric, but I’ll hire someone for that. I’ll have to check on the framing and see if permits are required, the actual process seems easy enough.

I have the 75 at work. I kinda think I prefer the low travel distance of low profile switches and the Nuphys sound really good. If only I could get that feel in my QK75, hmmmmmmmm.

I wonder if this means they’ll continue pretending that their Drop exclusives are “limited time” and they can’t stock replacement parts as a result. Or what it will mean for their Epos headphones since they are now owned by a direct competitor.
