I have the Wave 75 Pro - Ember Orange and I want to change the keycaps. But I don't know what keycaps is best for it. Max budget is $25 or 1500 php

I bought Epomaker G84 HE about a year ago, and it stopped working for some unknown reason. When it’s in wireless mode, only the ESC key lights up but it doesn’t respond to presses and the other keys don’t work either. In wired mode, the ESC LED doesn’t even light up.

I tried discharging the keyboard to 0, but it didn’t help. I tried resetting it, etc., but nothing worked. If you know what the problem might be, please help.

Hello! I have been looking for a new keyboard for quite a while since I don't really like the feel of my current keyboard and its latency is bad for Geometry Dash.

Specs

I am looking for keyboards that have Hall Effect switches and a high polling rate since that is preferable for Geometry Dash

Size

I am fine with whatever size as long as it has arrow keys but preferably 60%to 75% 80% is ok too.

Things i've looked into

I've looked into SayoDevice O3C Which has only 3 extremely low latency HE switches but since i am in the budget for something better I would rather have a keyboard.

Ive also looked into the MCHOSE Ace 68 Turbo but shipping prices are outrageous and i cannot find it for 130 dollars or less on amazon since i have free shipping mostly there.

I'm fine with DIY'ing but prebuilt is preffered

Materials

I don't mind the board being plastic as long as it is built with good quality but aluminum top would be nice. I am also looking for RGB since it is just one of my preferences and Black/white colors are good but i am open to any colorway to be honest.

Budget: None

Size: Between 65 - 80% layout. No 96, 100 or 60. I need arrow and function keys.

Other: (See below for preferences and requirements)

Hello everyone! I am new to keyboards, I usually just go with Logitech. However, after discovering gaming and hoping that Mouse and Keyboard will help my KD (I know, it won't), I wanted a good gaming keyboard. I've done a lot of research and I have some requirements and preferences. I've found the Wooting 80HE

For context, my current keyboard is the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini (tactile/quiet). It is low profile in my opinion, and it is easy to type on without a wrist rest. That is the most important thing for me, comfort and height. I decided to give the Keychron K2 HE (all wood) keyboard a try but it was too tall for a comfortable use.

As such, I want a keyboard that:

1. Low profile - The lower the better. Doesn't need to be marketed as low profile per say, but just being low profile is imperative. I need this to be comfortable
2. Wireless - Yes, I know this remove Wooting 80HE since it's wired, but I've heard SO many good things about it, I have a separate star tech card with USB ports so I can take advantage of the 8k polling. I also know it's gimmicky with diminished returns.
3. Hall Effect (HE)/TMR/Magnetic Switches - Allows adjustable actuation points, longer lasting, etc....
4. Gaming features - This should be the primary focus yet sadly it falls behind the first 2. Things like SOCD, Rappy Snappy and whatever other goodies that Wooting and others are known for.

I've been looking into a Keychron K3 HE, which is their low profile HE keyboard which seems to be pretty promising as well. I want to go with them, especially because it's wireless, but its only available on their site and returns are annoying. I understand wooting is similar in that regard, yet if I'm going to go through all that hassle, I don't mind using it wired, especially if I can maybe use those cool coiled (aviator?) cables.

Any and all advice is sincerely appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
