Hello hello

I’m planning out a keyboard for the future, I’ve figured out the features I want, but I’m having a hard time understanding how to get them. The learning curve is steep, it seems.

Are there any websites that have a good filter for their databases? I’m trying to find quiet, low-travel switches. My plan is to put them on a Keychron V10 QMK Alice Keyboard.

For the keys themselves I’m going to try and find a set that’s blank on top, but with the markings on the side. I’ve seen them in real life, I just haven’t gone looking for them in real life. Then, I’ll add stickers on top for an alternate layout. That way, I’ll always have a visual reminder of which key does what, so long as I remember which mode my keyboard is in.

So far I haven’t found a website that lets you filter by travel distance, which is annoying, because I can’t put in the kind of work needed to look at every listing to find out the travel distance.

Thanks!

    This is, of course, a work in progress, but I’m happy to at least have a solution, even if it might not ultimately be the solution. I’m trying to find a side-printed keycap set that comes with an extra B somehow so I can relegate the QWERTY layout to the side. That way, I can use uncut stickers on top for the Dvorak layout instead of having ugly cut stickers on the edge.
