I've been hunting for Mechanical Keyboards for a while. White colour

These are all wireless keyboards. Dongle, 2.5ghz bluetooth, or cabled - Yup all 3

The WOBKEY Rainy 75, is one of the highest rated 75% keyboards within the Mechanical Keyboards community.
- Pre lubed, and has a nice Thocky sound.
- Aluminium Body
- Linear switches
- Only gripe is the on and off switch is under the Caps Lock key.

Rainy 75 PRO - $191.20
- Larger Battery

It's a bit of a rabbit hole of different requirements for a keyboard that you're after. If you like Thock, Clack, or Creamy sounding keyboards.
- I'm not the greatest to know which key switches or caps you need. But hopefully this is a nice gateway into the mechanical keyboard market.

I've listed some other options here that might fit your fancy!

75% - Direct competitors against the Rainy 75

Aula F75 - $102.95
- A popular buy this one as it's cheaper than the Rainy 75.
- Plastic Body.
- Can be cheaper with different switches.

Ajazz AK820 Pro - $85.49
- Another decent 75%.

Bridge 75 - $285.78
- Sadly it's not on special.
- Great hot swappable feature, with taking the frame off.

Full Sized 100% to almost full sized. [Has a Numpad]

EPOMAKER Galaxy100 - $158.39 (Wisteria Liner Switch)
- I bought this, one of the most highly reviewed creamy sounding keyboard.
- Not completely 100% full sized.

EPOMAKER x Aula F99 - $109.59
- USB dongle in a safe location on the keyboard, along with wireless switch, and cable insert.
- Small Zero and LED light between numpad are my downsides.

Aula F108 - $119.19
- USB dongle in a safe location on the keyboard, along with wireless switch, and cable insert.
- Side LED's broke it for me.

E-Yooso 96% - $55.00
- This is the ultimate cheap option, but no evidence about how good it is.

Here's my search string, if you'd like to go down the rabbit hole of options:

    Noob question, but do you need to relube the keys once in a while?

    • +2

      From my understanding you don't need to.
      Maybe you might after a year or two, once you start to hear your switches sounding poorly.
      - To be fair by then you can hot swap them for better sounding switches. - Which will save on time.

        @SpeedRunnerLink

        Not in my experience, no. Have been running Boba U4Ts lubed with 205g0 for nearly 4 years at this point, they still sound and feel very different to my non-lubed U4Ts I still have on hand.

        • Did you lube them yourself or buy them pre lubed?

          I have the Boba myself so I'm definitely interested in this.

          How would you describe the difference between them? Think it's worth the time to do that?

          • +1

            @ugugii: Pardon me, I used 3204, not 205g0. The latter is too thick for the U4Ts IMO.

            Yes, I lubed them myself. Lubing them doesn't necessarily make them better, it just makes them different.

            I wasn't a huge fan of the scratchiness of the stock switches, so I only applied a little 3204. Stock U4Ts have quite a distinct bump, and lubing them definitely softened it a bit. The result, however, is a lower pitched, smoother (for better or for worse) switch. Would recommend trying with just one switch and seeing how you like it. Definitely not for everybody, especially if you want to retain the sharp tactile bump.

        • Where did you buy them from? Aren't those boba switches quite old now? Didn't know they still made them

          • @Zelcan420: they are really old, but still good. they were the king of tactile thock back in the days, but they also didn't have much competition. now there are so many options.

    • +1

      nah, hard to see the average user hitting an individual switch enough to require relubing. It's probably in the 10's-100's of millions of actuations before you might notice a difference.

      though being a prelubed switch the quality of application might leave a bit to be desired.

    • There's definitely some break-in if the application is not super-light. They will slightly change sound after the first few weeks-months of typing. After that it kinda plateaus. The lubricant doesn't break down.

      At worst some could travel down the housing/pole/spring into the base, but that would take ages and you're still going to sound and feel a million times better than a dry switch.

    • i never had to relube mine and i use mine for work all day and all week.

    • No, not needed for this Rainy75. Its just perfect out of the box.

  • +1

    I'm in the same wormhole.
    Looking for a good wireless model if any one wants to chime in

      These are all wireless.

        Bah bah ha, don't I feel stupid

        • +4

          Not your fault. I've updated the post.
          Also common misconception of "Mechanical Keyboards", are they're wired and for gaming. - Hence the rabbit hole of the space.

      If you're looking for a 60% keyboard, I have a YUNZII AL68. Very well reviewed.

      • I have the YUNZII YZ87. Good budget TKL board with quiet (not silent) switches. Very happy with the milk switches. I was so impressed I bought one for the office. Can get it cheap from Temu with cashbacks.

        • Forgive my ignorance, I'm looking for a TKL for office use. My googling tells me red is ok as it's less quiet than brown etc. However, how does the milk compare to the red?

          • +5

            @montorola: Forget about what the colours mean. They only meant something when MX switches/clones were the only options. These days there are many colour combinations that mean nothing, it's all aesthetics. Milk switches are a pre-lubed linear switch. Similar to the old MX red switches, but way nicer. About a 45gf operating force, which is a medium feel. They are smooth feeling and are quiet. If you want a silent keyboard you will have to find one with silent switches which can be dampened in several ways. I can say the milk switches in the YZ87 are about as quiet as a typical membrane keyboard with desktop keycaps.

            https://www.yunzii.com/products/yunzii-mlik-3-pin-mechanical…

            Edit: Just be aware the YZ87 is a budget board. Plastic chassis, no VIA/QMK. It has a lot going for it though: tri-mode connection (BT, 2.4ghz, wired), 5000 mah battery, south facing RGB, double shot PBT mx keycaps, good gasket mounting, foam layers. For the price I got it at ($20), I am extremely happy.

          • +1

            @montorola: If you're curious how they, or any other switches sound, there are plenty of sound tests on YouTube where reviewers record samples.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTv18tv_lkk

            Note, they are close mic-ed. So they won't be quite so loud in real life. And the keyboard cases keycaps will have some impact too.

            But the milk switches are plenty loud compared to a silent keyboard. They sound lovely though. And sound better in real life than in the recording.

            Actually this is my favourite switch reviewer at the moment. Tests switches on 3 different cases. Go silent if you want to be considerate of your fellow workers, but go louder if you don't want to miss out on all the fun that mech keyboards offer!

          • +1

            @montorola: you want a silent switch. it will have a rubber or silicone at the bottom. then you can pick from linear or tactile. then you pick the weight. if you type a lot non stop, i would get a lighter switch. i prefer a heavier linear switch.

      • 60% of what brother? Sorry for the noob question.

      • I've got the AL66 and like it too - seems to be the older model, without qmk/via. Nice build and typing feel.

      • Second that - I also have the older model AL66. Gotta love a knob (was a pre-req for me). Now just want one with knob on LHS instead so hand doesnt leave the mouse hahaha (but slim pickings)

      • hmmm that scrollwheel for volume is niiiice

        • its a novelty. i was hyped when i got my first knob. but i don't turn up/down my volume often enough to care. i have upgrade to high end keyboards and most don't have a knob.

      • Just for the record it's actually a 65% board - the title is wrong.
        60% would be missing the right-most column.

    • +2

      Love my leopold f660mbt for what it's worth. No dongle however, BT or wired only. Not hot swappable but sounds and feels great. Kepcaps are top notch too.

    • honestly it's all different (key)strokes for different folks, what one person likes another might hate.

      I don't game on desktop/PC so my keyboards are all for work.
      At home I have 2 keyboards - a Keychron K2 with brown switches (a little click but not super clicky) and a Keychron K2 HE (which feels smoother… but costs more).
      At work I use a Nuphy Air75 low profile - definitely less click noise so as to not annoy the rest of the office as much.

      They are all perfect for what I need them for. 75% layout, solid base so they not wobble or move around like the really cheaper ones, the keystrokes feel nice and smooth without (noticeable) lag for what I use them for, and they all work seamlessly with my Macs and iPads (as well as easily switch to Windows).

      • i had a nuphy too and didn't know how bad it is until i got a lofree. lofree is my favourite low profile keyboard. this is what i carry with me to travel.

        • I can't say I have heard of/seen much of Lofree (aside from reddit) so wasn't sure if they were any good or not. What makes it better than Nuphy? I am genuinely intrigued, even though I am not in the office that much, when I am there I use the keyboard a lot so if there is genuine material improvement on the Nuphy I'd be interested…

  • I placed an order for the AulaF99 just yesterday. For my work i need to have the number pad but i don't want the 100% size so the 96% fits my need perfectly.

    Been using a kogan wired one in office for several years, wanted to get a mechanical one for WFH as well. Typing on mechanical feels just so much nicer…

    • great choice, that is going to be way better then kogan garbage.

      • Well… it wasn't that bad (but that's also because I don't have any comparison, maybe I'll have a different opinion after the AulaF99 arrives).

        • Haha I'm interested to know your thoughts when you get the new kb, because I'm upgrading from a Kogan Mechanical keyboard too!

          (FWIW, I think they're quite decent)

          • @montorola: i used kogan one as well .. the Aula is much much much better. the sound is creamy instead ot thocky and hollow in kogan.

            • -1

              @didit7: The keyboard arrived today and oh yeah…. it is definitely much better than the Kogan one…
              I just need to wait for my palm rest to arrive as these mechanical keyboards are generally much higher off the table.

    The WOBKEY Rainy 75

    Only gripe is the on and off switch is under the Caps Lock key.

    I've been using a QK65 and QK75 practically everyday for the past 2 years, switching between Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz on both and haven't ever found this to be an issue. The keyboards will automatically go to sleep after a period of inactivity, so I've seldom found myself actually having to turn off the keyboards manually.

    And having a full aluminium build is a game changer, the Rainy75 is the way to go imo

    • I've got QK100 and love it.

      Been looking into a smaller form keyboard.

      I can purchase QK65 with stabs for $120, have got spare keycaps and switches I could use. Or I can purchase this because Rainy75 sound so good and I was looking into their Zen65 project, very tempting to pull the trigger given it's price which includes everything.

      What would you go for considering you're also a QK owner.

      • For myself personally, I'd rather a barebones kit where I can then choose the switches/keycaps/aesthetics myself, though I definitely get the appeal of a prebuilt, especially when they often come out cheaper.

        But the Zen65 seems amazing value for what it is; if you're happy with the stock config it'll ship with, then by all means.

    • I got crush 80 and it runs out of battery every 5-6 days with occasional gaming in the evenings

    • +1

      on and off switch isn't a big deal, unless you are traveling with this, which you shouldn't do anyways. metal keyboards are meant to sit at your desk.

    • Not sure why people need to showcase their own use and get 'defensive' for these kind of stuff.
      I use the keyboard literally in my living room, on my couch. I use and i need the on/off button daily.
      It's good info and OP is right to mention this. IT IS a gripe.

      • I use and i need the on/off button daily.

        May I ask why? My keyboards automatically switch off after an hour of inactivity, so I've never had concerns about battery. These will automatically switch off too. Or is your concern not battery-related?

  • Wow good timing. Have been wanting to jump on Zen65 which is their new project but happy to settle for this.

  • I had mechanical keyboards for years. Moved to a NIZ PLUM with electro capacitive 35g switches https://www.nizkeyboard.com/ I will never go back to mechanical again. If you use your keyboard a lot and your fingers get sore, look at switches with switch pressure of 40g or less.

  • Anyone have any experience with the monsgeek m1w v5?

    • Should be a better overall product.

      VIA support, knob for volume. Bit more creamy than thocky sounding depending on what you like.

      Lots of 75% full aluminium keyboards around now at the $200 AUD or so mark.

      • Do you really use keyboard knob for volume though?

    • +1

      There is no M1W v5, it's just the M1 v5 now. (The base version has wireless now)

      I have the VIA version, it's worked pretty well so far. Got it for a song during AliExpress annual sale. Do not get the non-VIA version, the Monsgeek software is allegedly torture.

      Minor gripes:
      1. I believe the plate does not have the cutouts done correctly (too small) for the included screw-in stabs, but those aren't preinstalled anyway. The preinstalled (and lubed) plate mount stabs are fine. Not sure if they've fixed in later revisions. That said, there have also been Rainy75 units shipped with missing stab holes in their PCB…
      2. You get a USB connect/disconnect sound whenever the board comes in and out from sleep when using the wireless dongle. The sleep timer is too aggressive for some, but you can build your own firmware (!!!) with a longer timeout. (Although I think some have built and shared theirs already)
      3. The earlier firmware that shipped with mine had a double-input issue for certain keys, but Monsgeek have a fixed version on their site.

      • Thank you!

    • +1

      I just built up a Monsgeek M7 with Akko switches and ali express keycaps. It's really great. I went the M7 wired because I didn't want to faff around with wireless and the M7 was the only budget barebones available locally, cos I was scared of buying from OS with no effective warranty. Really impressed with the quality.

      If the M1 is anything like the M7 it will be a solid keyboard.

  • RE: Wobkey Rainy 75, is it linear?

    • Yeah they are linear.

  • -5

    Can't imagine anything worse than a keyboard that will drop out when the microwave is running

    • +1

      Probably move your computer out of the kitchen and stop getting your microwaves off the side of the road.

      • Brand new quality LG does it with any phones nearby

  • Epomaker is also having a clearance on some of their keyboards. Notably the Dynatab 75 and Dynatab 75x is really cheap at the moment. the 75 can be had for about $40 and 75x around $60. Switches used are either wisteria linear, wisteria tactile or flamingo switch. I personally have a few of them and very satisfied with the quality and service from epomaker. I have to restrain myself very hard not to buy another one :D

    • I got excited with that price but did some digging and Epomaker doesn't seem to be very well liked over on Reddit… At that price though, do you think it would be worth taking the risk? I don't mind the tablet slot on the 75, would be nice to take to lectures with my Galaxy Tab.

      • +1

        I'm using aula F108 for my daily driver and sometimes use the dynatab75, brick87 and HE68. I think they are all very good for the price. For $40, normally you will only get either a wired or very crappy wireless mechanical keyboard. the epomaker sounds good and type good too.

        • Thanks. Any switch recommendations for the Dynatab 75?
          Wisteria Linear or Flamingo?

          • +1

            @heef: I personally prefer the wisteria linear better, but both of them is actually quite similar and my preference maybe because i use wisteria linear in F108 for my daily driver used to it more than the flamingo.

            • @didit7: Which one of yours would be most suited for the office? (i.e. quiet)

            • @didit7: Thanks, pulled the trigger on the DynaTab 75 Wisteria Linear. Good price for a wireless tri-mode keeb.

    • you can plant succulents in the Dynatab 75

  • Would it be worth paying the extra for the "Pro" model? Pity the one linked is the nicest colour-way IMO but not available as the Pro model.

    • -1

      Bigger battery, more RGB lighting options and smart display.

      • +2

        None of the rainy75’s have a smart display what are you talking about?

        • Oops for some reason I thought he was comparing the f108 vs f108 pros… Was reading up the specs of this keyboard while responding :)

    • This is the pro model in the same colour except for the backplate which is shiny. Pro is worth it. The Cocoa switches are quite a bit nicer.

      https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0D5MH7YZD

  • Where do I find this mechanical keyboard community I imagine they like the sound of hearing themselves type.

  • +3

    I would definitely add the Bridge75 / Bridge75 Plus to the list which is arguably better than the Rainy75 and equally priced.

    • Oh yes!! I knew I was missing a keyboard!!

      Bridge 75
      - Sadly it's not on special.
      - Great hot swappable feature, with taking the frame off.

      • That's a good price on the Rainy with Amazon-ish warranty. But Bridge75 is around $170 from Keebs n Cables (not including postage, but pick up available in WA). Might be worth paying a little extra for the ball and latch screw less assembly if that's your thing.

        https://www.keebzncables.com/collections/75-keyboards/produc…

        The YouTuber Alextos rates the Bridge75 way higher than the Rainy75, based on finish and looks.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG6N0I5WuSo

        Which surprised me as to me they look the same and I like the Rainy75 cute cloud logo. But I've not seen either in person. It's possible they both came out of the same OEM factory but have been specced different. But maybe there are big differences in IRL? They do both sound subtley different tho

        I have a Bridge75 on order….but since I ordered I built 2 customs for the first time and now thinking of cancelling….

      • +1

        Its $170ish for the Plus from Berserkeys and also the comment above

  • Have heard so many good things about Rainy 75 - I really like the yellow one too, but alas, I can't stand small keyboards. The Keychron V6 Max has been a real delight to use as a daily driver. The 8BitDo 108 keyboard has also been pretty good to use too.

    • It's tricky hey! The keyboard market is so wild now. Knowing full well that in the past you had to completely build and mod these yourself, that included soldering switches!

      It's come such a long way, and is only getting more, and more competitive! Keychron are the blanket statement of keyboard makers now, as they have it all! haha

      • +1

        Oh man it's such a deep rabbit hole when you start researching mech keyboards…It's crazy! Way too many options.

        And yeah Keychron is such an easy rec for entry level because they have the scale to make their products cost effective. But then they also have their more premium products too…

  • Recently purchased the Kisnt KN 85 off Amazon after watching a Hipyo Vid.
    Can truly second his take on it and have been enjoying using the keyboard. No numpad unfortunately but the feel and sound kinda offset it.
    Might go on sale but nothing so far.

  • +1

    I went down this rabbit hole a few months ago on best pre-builts..here was my list at the time:

    Evoworks evo80
    Keychron K2HE
    Wooting 80HE
    Aula F75
    Ajazz AK820 Pro
    Bridge75
    Rainy 75

    Obviously all different budgets so I've just settled on a Aula F75 for now due to volume knob, but I was very keen on the Rainy75 at the time, just no knob!

    • 100% on needing a knob - ended up with Yunzii AL66 (now superseded by AL68)

  • +4

    If you don't mind 65% layout (75% without function keys), checkout Yunzii AL71 (68% due to extra keys in 3 x 2 layout).

    Both black and siliver are currently $110.60, probably the best value aluminium keyboard.

  • +1

    I tried the new yunzii al80 (75%) with gateron zero switches. Best prebuilt I have tried so far, do not sleep on it. Lcd, knob, rgb non flex cut pcb, via/qmk, weight, perfect height.

  • For those using TKL keyboards, what's a good numpad to pair up with these?

    Ideally I'm looking to get a 60% or 75% keyboard so that my hand doesn't have to travel much to the mouse, but on the odd occasion I need to use excel numbers etc, I need a numpad.

    What numpad is everyone using?

    • +1

      IMHO, if you want a numpad, just get a full size keyboard or a 98 key keyboard.

      • +1

        I personally prefer being able to choose whether or not to use the number pad

        Move numpad away for extra mouse space for gaming or other normal use

        Use numpad only when I need it

    • +1

      I use a Canon RF (as in Radio Frequency, not RF mount) calculator number pad occasionally. Was $2 from Catch, wayback.

      https://www.canon.com.au/other-products/x-mark-1-keypad

    • my first custom keyboard was a keychron, so i paired it with a keychron numpad. also have a yunzii numpad to match with my plastic keyboard. but my favourite is the Meletrix ZoomPad.

  • I've been using the aula f75 for nearly a year, shocking how good it is for 100 bux. I was considering rainy75 before finding it, not sure how they compare in typing feel

  • Save yourself some money and buy the ND75 - on sale at umart at the moment. Basically the same keyboard and are the same US rrp.

    • I agree about ND75 being better p/p right now, but it's really not the same keyboard. Differences are:
      Pros:
      + A small screen where the badge usually is on other keyboard (a bit work to optimized, but the result is great)
      + 3 mounting styles, meaning a lot of room for customizing. Plenty people think that ND75 is best at the price after fully modded
      Cons:
      - No VIA/QMK (which Bridge75/Rainy75 all have), still has its own software
      - Out of the box experience may vary, but in general Rainy75 is favor the most for a plug-and-play keyboard

      If they are all at the same price then it's a hard pick IMO. However the current discount in Umart makes ND75 the no brainer choice. I already get one for my friend, only wait to swap out the switches.

      • Con:
        - Stupid right key layout with 2 keys and a screen, when it should be 4 keys only*.

        • In my opinion…

        Admittedly I really only use home and end, and depending on what their software is like, could probably remap those, but then there's a weird single key up by the delete. It's a waste of space.

        The Bridge75 is my preferred 75% layout, and wish I'd probably done a bit more research a few weeks back… haha.
