I randomly got recommended Hipyo Tech on YouTube one day and since have been watching his videos. I haven’t got a clue about mechanical keyboards, but I have strong tastes in terms of aesthetics. Long story short, I kept checking shit out and stumbled across a keyboard he hasn’t reviewed yet and I think I’m in love. But I don’t know if it’s any good or is even Linux compatible. So… is the ATK V75X a decent purchase? Or does it suck?

The look I’m interested in, is the all matte black oka Gunmetal. I don’t have the foggiest about the difference between the switches.
Keychron is the safe first buy for any one interested in quality keyboards. They have a wide range of styles, layouts, and price points. I would suggest sticking to the $100 price range as they tend to be the best value for a first mechanical keyboard.
The cheapest is £80 and that doesn’t even include the keycaps: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJwLCix
The keycaps are available for a tenner though, so that’s decent: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzPUlhN
I might still go with Keychron for a general typing / wireless travel keyboard and get a second specifically for gaming. Ive noticed the keychron having sluggish or slow response sometimes, prob related to slow polling rate. Not 100% sure on what I’d get though. I’ll see if i can mess qround with the firmware myself for now.
