Hi all, I have a quick and possibly very simple question. I have a keychron V6 with red switches being delivered to me tomorrow. I just want to know what switches and keycaps will fit this keyboard? This is my very first mechanical/swappable keyboard and I know nothing about it. I want to try other switches, mainly brown, blue and yellow. Also want to have a different look keycaps every now and then. I’ve searched on their site, but I had no idea which ones to choose. lol Thanks in advance.
Thank you. That’s basically what I realized. Watching youtube videos and having a tester won’t cut it, as switches tend to sound different on different keyboards. So, like you said I’ll probably be buying a couple of sets that I won’t like until I find something that works for me. As for the key caps. The only issue I’m facing at the moment is finding the actual keychron ones. The keychron ones have double legends (is that what the letters are called on caps?) Like on the F buttons, it shows the F and another icon like the sound or mute etc. I couldn’t find any set that has that. Also, above the numpad there are 4 extra keys that I really like, circle, square, triangle and an X and I’m not sure what to replace those with.
The 4 icons are just for you to customise with.
Double legends are meaningless on a fully programmable keyboard. Just use VIA and take a screenshot of your layers if you’re worried about forgetting.
