Be aware that the XDA profile keycaps this comes with are a flat profile. I really liked the look of XDA profile and bought a set, thinking I would enjoy typing on them, but they turned out to be really tough to use. It feels like a bigger reach to get to some of the keys because they don't come up to meet your fingers, if that makes sense.

I'm used to flat keyboards on laptops, and thought this wouldn't be a problem, but I think the full key travel on a keyboard like this vs laptops where the keys barely move makes it a bigger issue.

Edit: there's another very cheap profile called XVX that has a similar look, but it's sculpted. I haven't tried it yet, but given that some PBT sets are a little over $10, it might be worth a try.

Pretty decent entry board if you want to get into the world of custom keyboards. This has all the extra bells and whistles like the volume knob, RGB and bluetooth but the case is plastic. Keychron V1 or RK68 pro are both much better boards if you want to spend a little more and don't need bluetooth

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...TW6W&psc=1 there are a few others of course, but this is a great one all around that you won't regret building.

Others you might consider, the entire Das Keyboard lineup for the most part has volume knobs. You could also go split ergo with one or more knobs on something like an Iris, or a Lily58 Pro. Another option would be Keydous NJ80, can be found man places including Drop.com If you really want to get down with knob control you could look into Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad (also on Drop) there are multiple variants including a 38% board with triple knobs! A few more, Keebmonkey 1800 Gasket 2.4 kit with knob. Drop Sense75, Keydous NJ68 Pro Hotswap, Hello Ganss HS75T, Keychron Q8 Alice, James Donkey A3 Gasket, Feker Alice 3, Keydous NJ81, Dukharo VN96, Nibble & Niblet.

And of course any custom ergodox will allow for one or more knob control switch placements for all types of input fun!

> Equipped with hot swappable terminals, you could install the MX 3 pin / 5 pin switches directly without soldering, easily build up your own mechanical keyboard.

It has swappable switches, for those interested

This is almost what my ideal layout is, just missing having the function row separate.

This looks like a Fisher Price keyboard for toddlers.

I've been looking at the nuphy air 75 but this one looks like it can do everything similar with more options for different switches. that and it's a bit smaller than the 75. Does anyone have any thoughts on this vs the nuphy

For 65% form factor, the Epomaker TH66 should be pretty good. Technically, I have the TH80 with Gateron Pro Yellow switches. It's plastic but doesn't sound hollow. The Epomaker website has the TH66 for 10% off list, but there is also the barebones kit for ~$56

Heyo I have the nuphy 75! Some thoughts…

The nuphy is definitely not worth double the price of this keyboard.

Like other comments said the Gama looks like a child's toy while the nuphy looks very sleek. Replacing the nuphy stock caps with the black shine through set makes it look even better.

The nuphy 2.4ghz is nearly unusable at distances beyond 10". I see a lot of people with similar issues and some that don't have this issue. Bluetooth on the other hand is rock solid.

The nuphy doesn't have a charging indicator when the keyboard is off. After a firmware update the Del key breathes to indicate charging but you have to have the keyboard in on mode still.

All in all I can't recommend the nuphy, you're better off with the Logitech mx mechanical in that price range. All around better keyboard, it just lacks the fancy RGB effects.

The Gamakay at this price point seems pretty good but you have a lot of other similar keyboards in this price range on Amazon.
