Keyboards & Mice

been having a weird issue off and on, my mx3 master w/ logi bolt, would sometimes "skip", i have an alexa and a wireless charger on my desk, so i thought maybe thats interference. so i got a usb3 extension and literally taped the reciever 1in away from where i'd be using it.

it stopped, for a while...
now mind you, i have 3 mice connected to my computer, just b/c
mx3 master
mx logi vertical (carpal tunnel)
g502 wired

the g502 wired is a super champ, never messes up of course
but also, the mx logi vertical is wireless on the old style logi receiver and it also never ever skips

so yea i googled it, and ppl have issues w/ the logi bolt receiver on usb3.0, if you put it only a usb2 connection your skips stop.
i don't have usb2 at all (it's all usb3 or usbc) so i grabbed an old usb2 extension cable (this downgrades the connect to usb 2, all usb3 is extra, longer metal tabs at the connection point, look at it and you'll see), and now skipping stops

fucking hell logitech

oh yes, can't i just plug in the mx3s master and use it wired? no it is only wireless, the wired connection is just to charge it, it will not work w/o the receiver.

of course i could have used bluetooth, but who the fuck would want to use that for a mouse?

my wife wrecked the mx3 anywhere, left click is fucked, this is how crazy she is about using the mouse, it wasn't an issue, cuz i have a backup one in the box.

anywhere quick googling and seems like any basic omron switch, looks like these

Red Kailh GM 4.0​

are the quiet model

and i'll have to order new mice feet too cuz all the screws are underneath

Thinking about getting a Keychron V1 with the knob, Cherry Browns. Been using a K70 for years and i really want something that's quiet and without a 10 key. There are so many options on switches now i'm clueless. Am i making a mistake here? Got any better ideas for a 75% with a volume knob?

e: i'm comfortable with swapping switches and keycaps, trying to keep it a $200 max budget.

I already have a Schiit stack for my Audio, so I'm covered there. Keychron V1 is a mechanical keyboard, which is what i am considering. It's a less expensive version of the Q1 which they've had forever, but the V1 has a polycarbonate shell instead of aluminum. I'm not up to speed on good mechanical keyboards and was hoping someone here might be more familiar with this space. I've had the Corsair K70 with MX Cherry Red switches for years. Anything i get must have some kind of volume/mute knob/wheel on the top right.

The V1 I'm looking at has their version of brown switches. Since Cherry's patent on the MX style switches has run out there are tons of clones and everyone has their own flavor. Are any of them better than the other? Essentially I'd like a "tactile" switch as the brown's typically are but I'd much prefer a very quiet sound than the loud clacking I have now. So at the price point of the V1 I'm open to suggestions to swapping out the switches.

Are keycaps all the same size? Never bought just keycaps before. Would i be scouring etsy for Keychron specific styles to find the color i want that will fit this keyboard or are keycaps keycaps?
