Yes, there are ways... but how are you with reading electronic schematics? And soldering?

I was once an electrical engineer, but I would not attempt such a task unless it was absolutely necessary (i.e. no other alternative). These days, it's much simpler to find and purchase some other product that meets my requirements!

Great price, about the same as a kit without switches and keycaps from AliExpress. The only issue is that it's non hot-swap, and the low-profile switches (less travel) might not be for everyone.

Thanks for the link! Interesting but I definitely agree with you.

Ironically I noticed this wasn't backlit so that immediately made a decision for me lol

Do these have a way to be wired? If anything, I would want this for rhythm games especially with the low profile + brown switches

Tempted. If only it could connect to more than one device so that I could toggle between PCs.

How trusted is this seller? Because my UBlock just stopped me from going because of tracking links on the site.

I have ordered from them with no issue, just expect shipping to be slow. Took about 3 weeks for my keyboard to arrive.

Dang, I told myself no more keyboards but low-profile is the one type I'm missing.

Not so fun fact is that there's no real standard for low-profile switches, so hot-swappable wouldn't be much use

First time I heard of magnetic switches with adjustable travel size. Who makes these magnetic switches?

I have a Keychron Low Profile with Blue Switches (Gateron) and I love it. I also love my Cherry Massdrop Keyboard with MX Blue switches, but the former is more my favorite right now. Didn't know I was going to love it that much, except for it's starting to get the key shine.

Anyhow, wonder if these magnetic switches will do the same thing for me.

That's what a kvm switch or hub is for.

Doesn't look like the browns have a ton more travel on these low profile switches? I have a 61 key I can't deal with not having the arrow keys. A 68 would be perfect but I'm using it with Mac. Hmm 🤔

My son plays fortnite and roblox. Would the ajazz be good for these two games?

Last, how good would the Ajazz keyboard work as a bt/wireless keyboard for a Android tablet?

I received my last order from them in great condition; however, it took five weeks to arrive.

Won't recommend it for fortnite. There can and will be input delays, skipped keys, and double entered keys quite often when using their wireless keyboard. It's great for the cost, but in a competitive game this could make their experience worse. I would recommend sticking with a wired keyboard for that. As for this being usable for an android tablet, I needed to set mine up with a USB. As long as it has a USB port it should be fine.
