Hey Guys, I'm new to Massdrop and Mechanical Keyboards in general. Was thinking of getting the Solar Alpha and Cockpit combo as a Christmas gift from my brother-in-law, but I don't know if he has a mechanical keyboard. Any recommendations on an affordable / good quality / Cherry Mx "base" for these key caps?
atekMagicforce 68 is a highly recommended entry level keyboard. It doesn't have the build quality or features of a higher priced keyboard but it has Cherry/Gateron switches and a standard bottom row for customizing the keycaps. There's a drop going on right now, but Amazon also stocks this board.
EDIT: You should also know that the Godspeed set won't ship until March at the earliest, so don't bank on this being a Christmas gift!
atekI recommend you to get a Magicforce 68 and the Cockpit kit!
But remember, the keycaps delivery won the happen until Feb/May (this is a custom set, made by demand).
Let neves know if you need more help!
