    It's so good to have a professional youtube channel that's focused on information and not random keyboard funny slop. Thank you for the high production content, comes second only to Glarses of course.

    One thing I appreciate about Dygma videos is how y’all don’t constantly push your own products over others. You’ve set yourselves up as true subject matter experts, while staying at the top of the list any time your audience is thinking of a new purchase.
    Even seeing our own non-Dygma keyboards in your videos (Logitech MX Keys mentioned LET’S GO!) makes us feel included in what you’re doing. Great job as always.

    I love SA/OSA profile not only for how precise it feels and operates, but also for cool typewriter looks. And it sounds deeper than Cherry or OEM.

    I just picked up some Lord of the Rings MT3 for my Defy! Thanks for showing off my Defy in the video! I liked the MDA profile but kept defaulting back to the out of box setup the Defy came with. I don't like the shine on the keys developed (because ABS) so I have been on the hunt for a perfect set with the profile and astheic I have been chasing for my Defy.

      Hey hey! Anytime! Thank you for sharing the photo! Ooooo LOTR! Can't wait to see those! :) Have you tried DSS? That's what I have on my Raise. Actually, the one used in the video is mine 😅 They're not as tall as the MDA and I just love the spherical shape.

    Does Dygma not sell some keyboard key sets other than the standard? I'd love to see them release some perfect low profile keys for the Defy. They could then perfect them for the keyboard. I'd pay twice as much for them.

    Hi Dominique, great useful video as always. Please I would like your advise. I have ordered a Keychron Q14 Max ISO barebones. I have large pair of hands and would really appreciate your advice. Thankyou in advance. Also please would you suggest a website where I can get the keycaps. Id like the shine rhough ones. Thanks again.

      Hi @arjunsamuel ! That's very specific advice and it's a difficult one, because there's so much to choose from. I would recommend asking it on r/ErgoMechKeyboards (on Reddit).

    I'm looking at replacing my TWS Keyboard(because #Firmware issues, I think?) with another split ortho/columnar-linear keyboard, currently exploring lily58, moonlander, and sofle options, but open to ideas, would prefer having an F# row, but not a necessity.
    So I figure I might as well take a gander at a non qwerty layout while I'm at it.

    You could also have mentioned thst uniform keycaps and even OEM don't allow you to tell if your fingers have shifted left/right a key. i.e. Poor homing

    • @DygmaLab
      @DygmaLab  4 місяці тому +2

      It's always difficult to find keycaps in other languages! We get you! Which profile are you looking for?
      There's this site, fkcaps.com/custom/create/language, that sells custom keycaps with the MDA profile, and they have it in German.
      We also sell German keycaps in our shop, they have OEM profile.
      Hope this helps!

      Low profiles are usually uniform. But if you want sculpted and not tall, i think the DSS is a great profile.
