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.

The nk87 and nk65 are both on clearance right now at novelkeys if you are interested in getting your own switches and keycaps. If you are willing to wait for a restock for either of these they do have black/grey options but it may not be exactly what you are looking for. They are both qmk/via compatible so they should work with Linux.

I will keep an eye on novel keys. Thank you!

Of course! Just be aware that their keyboards, especially the nk65 entry edition can sell out just minutes after a restock so maybe sign up for the emails about the restocks. The nk87 usually takes longer to sell out and you can also buy the pre assembled nk87 darkshake if you are interested (I bought one of these for $140 during their black Friday sale)

I'm so glad my sister came to visit and distracted me from your bad influence 😂

Thank you BTW.

You're welcome. Nice keyboards are expensive but they are definitely worth it!
