The Bracket Where a Keyboard Stops Being Disposable

This ceiling sits at an interesting place in the market. Below it you are mostly choosing which compromise to accept; at it, the features that used to belong to group buys and enthusiast forums have become ordinary retail items. Switch sockets you can pull by hand, damping foam inside the case, doubleshot or dye-sublimated keycaps and open remapping firmware all appear here regularly, and the same feature list carried a much higher price only a few years ago.

The useful way to shop this bracket is to decide what you want the money spent on, because no board at this ceiling does everything. A wired board puts the whole budget into the plate, the foam and the keycaps. A wireless one spends a meaningful share on a radio, a battery and the charging circuit, and something has to give to pay for them. Sockets are the other fork: a board you can change switches on will still suit you after your taste changes, while a soldered one is finished as bought.
