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.

I’d search for Gunmetal keycaps, which should be easy to find. Then you can choose your keyboard and switches using criteria other than aesthetics.

Oh, you don't trust the brand?

Never heard of it. Might be good. But like others said, I’d prefer hot swappable switches. Keychron has a good reputation and affordable models. It’s what I bought and I can recomend. Their VIA units are easily configurable on Linux.

Someone mentioned Keychron in the UK thread.
