Hi!

I joined this site after hearing that there is an active mech keyboard community in Korea.


I have been enjoying an Epomaker GK68XS with Gaetron Brown switches. I carry a pretty hefty backpack and the GK68XS is pretty heavy so I am looking for a lighter more portable keyboard. I would love to hear from the experts here!


Thanks!

It seems that GX68XS is about 870g in weight. So I think you're looking for one that with lighter than that but still uses the mechanical switches. Poker 2 and V60 are known as lightweight and as per their specs they are ~500g. I believe that there are many more available that give you enough options. However I believe that if the weight is your first priority, you need to go scissors switch ones. Or, you can get another keyboard on your office etc so that you don't even need to carry it with you, which is my preference. Not to mention it doesn't work if you're "real" portable to use it in a cafe.
