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:

        • My thinking is that besides Full-size/1800 layout and maybe TKL, smaller layouts than that you will have to macro/re-map your keyboard anyways. So the right most column has 1,2 or 4 keys doesn't matter much to me, just more or less keys to map. About the software, QMK with VIA is the best but if the only thing you care about is re-map then any software can do lol.

          • @Masticccc: Fair point.

            And oh yeah, need QMK/VIA. I've moved the Control key to the default caps lock position for the last few keyboards I've had, and then got a cheap Akko for the office a while back because while it didn't support VIA, it did have its own software to remap. Except it couldn't remap the control key. So that was a bit of a fail.

  • I bought this a while ago, you cannot beat this for the money. Nothing comes close, i have a QK65 which cost more than double which is probably only 10% better than this.

    • You reckon QK65 is better than this? Am able to secure a QK65 at $120, but it's v1 and not v2. I guess I should take Qk65?

      • I too own the QK65 and have a Bridge75 which I paid about $140 for - same thing the bridge is just as good for more than half the price.

        Also factor in that this is 75% and QK65 is 65% - if you need your F rows - this.

      • My qk65 is the original version as well and feels I'd say 10% better. It just feels more dense and the feel is a bit nicer and not as mushy. In the rainy 75 all switches feel kinda similar and too cushioned.

        If you factor in the qk65 + keycaps + switches the total price might change the equation vs this for 170 with everything. Depends if you wanted different switches/keycaps regardless or were keeping it stock.

  • I have some old, wired mech keyboards that are still awesome to use. Does anyone know if there are adaptors that convert them to bluetooth/wireless? I'm thinking of something like a docking station where you can plug in your old USB accessories, then you pair and switch to different devices. An example is I use my TV sometimes as a monitor, and I have to use a wireless keyboard, because it's a few meters away from the couch. A USB extension cable is too clunky.

    Edit: found some on Ali.

  • I got to try in person the KEY WOBKEY Rainy 75 at Yodobashi recently
    Thanks to the solid weight, these things are HEAVY and really accentuated the sound which was awesome

    Wish it had volume wheel though

    • anything this good with a wheel?

      • probably but also depends on how you define good. i reverted back to an oem keyboard after several akko/yunzi/epomaker kb's, most ended up with some issue got over it, using corsair tkl pro now

        but if this had a wheel/knob i'd of probably purchased it it felt and sounded really good for out the box

  • +1

    For those looking at this post who are curious but not in the know, this keyboard is very loud. Look up a review of it for an example. The 'thock' people crave is, in my opinion, obnoxious; especially if you care about anyone around you (I learnt the expensive way that "good acoustics" doesn't mean nice and quiet.)

    • It's all hyper subjective to what you are after. - Thock, Clack, or Creamy

      I remember in workplaces with people using Cherry MX Blue switches, which are obnoxious. - You could hear those cherry mx blue switches from across the business floor! haha

  • Guys, I've narrowed it down to either Logitech K855 TKL or Ajazz AK820 Pro linked in the OP.

    https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/logitech-k…

    What's the verdict?

    • +1

      Between those two, Ajazz for sure.

      That Logitech one looks very basic.

      • Thanks mate, will go the Ajazz!

  • +1

    Not in the market, but appreciate the work and comparison for the post OP

    • I appreciate that @Zitane!

  • Rainy75 copies are better

    Bridge75 and Chillkey ND75

    • Chillkey ND75 is another good option too, although it's not priced well enough in contrast to the sales right now.
      Starts to become subjective to what you're after and how much you're willing to spend.

      • +1

        How is ND75 not priced well enough? You can get one right now for 129$ pre-shipping, I already bought one last week with even a better discount at 117$ C&C. With Rainy75/Bridge75 locally 150+ anywhere, ND75 is basically 20-30% cheaper than all other options.
        Also if you are down in the rabbit hole, don't use Amazon as the only source for price comparison. Bridge75 is a lot cheaper on here for example. As a person deep in the custom keyboard scene who have 50$ to 1000$ custom keyboards, local + international vendors have a lot more options with better pricing than big e-commerce platform like Amazon.

        • Great feedback, and you're the exact kind of person to reach with posts like this. Given you're quite deep into the custom keyboard market.
          To be fair the visibility with custom keyboards has been tough to peer into, within Australia. - So far from my discovery.

          To keep things in with context of Amazon, I was only referencing Amazon given the post, and all the other alternatives I've shared in the OP. Just so you know I didn't purchase the Rainy, I bought the Galaxy 100. Which fits my requirements a lot more.

          Again excellent perspective, and would love to know more of where to buy from. Given you're much further into the custom keyboard market.

          • +2

            @Moonyang: For a list of vendors, you can check on Alexotos. For general information about mechanical keyboard scene, geekhack page and reddit r/mechmarket, r/mechanicalkeyboard are where to go, new IC (Interest Check) and GB (Group Buy) info are usually post there as well.

            As for local vendors for custom keyboards, biggest names are DailyClack and SwitchKeys. Note that there are plenty vendors open during Covid (hence the custom keyboard market boom) then exit scam/go bankrupt, but these two have been there before/during/after covid and still stand strong. However they are specifically target the high-end market, their "budget keyboard" usually start around 250-300$ fully build with most of the keebs around +500$. Aula F75, Rainy75 or Womier SK75…. are what we call "stock keyboard", meaning mass-produced keyboards with relatively better pricing as well as availability. They are OzBargain worthy and usually it's better to find the keyboard you want first, then look for local vendors that offer them.

            IMO, keyboard pricing right now is a lot more better and stabilized compares to when I joined back in 2020, at the start of Covid boom. A lot WFH + problematic logistics meaning keyboard price is inflated and very fluctuated. A keyboard can be 500$ RRP then becomes 200-300$ a month after and vice versa. Also waiting for pre-order/groupbuy products take months at very least, and waiting 1-2 years or more for your orders is a common. Now the FOMO is over with the competition of different manufacturers make the scene very budget friendly, The keyboard I'm typing right now was worth around 500AUD+ (including extra PCB/plate) in 2021, but I don't think it's even as good as Rainy75 by this time.

  • Work gave me a standard keyboard made by cherry. Will this be better?

    • Cherry style key switches is what started the trend, and were for mechanical keyboards in the early days. Now there's a plethora of different switches, and key caps.

      You're best to go onto YouTube, and start researching. As it's all subjective to the user of the keyboard.

    • its better then the Logitech my work gave me keyboard and mouse kit, but still nothing in compared to a custom metal keyboard.

  • +2

    WOBKEY are still skirting the GPL in regards to providing source code for their firmware, which I keep a pretty dim view of.

    You'll still be able to use VIA to configure it so long as you provide the via.json the first time, but you're basically at WOBKEY's mercy in regards to bug fixes.

  • Keychron V1 Max is another great 75%, got one with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches recently and it's great.

  • Yunzi al71 with 40% off at $102 … or rainy 75 worth $75 more?

    Also - Anything on par with these with a knob? Maybe the yunzi 65 ?

  • Having a Rainy 75 basic version for more than 1 year, still loving it a lot.

    I put it in my office and quite a few people were attracted by it and asked the brand / model / where to get one.

  • If you say lube lube lube really fast it becomes blue.
