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.

Thank you so much. I hadn't even thought about the arrow keys. Now it's something else for me to consider. That keyboard you've linked isn't too bad at all. It's more expensive.

There are plenty of other examples, I didn't actually check whether the one you linked was wired, Bluetooth or both.

This one is Bluetooth for £75

Plus £25 delivery. It's not bad looking though.

It's both. But it's Windows only, so the dream is officially dead.

I've not heard of a keyboard that is Windows only. Not sure how it'll work

In the other mechanical group, they were saying it wouldn't be able to remap or play with the LEDs due to the proprietary software 🥺

Sorry, I missed that. Although how much does your original link charge for delivery? They claim to use DHL, and they also state you'll have to pay the import duty yourself, so it'll cost a margin more.
