solder more/at all. Got a cool gun and accessories kit from my partner for Christmas! So long hotswap.
try smaller/split keyboards. Curious to see what the absolute lowest possible number of keys would be while retaining practicality. 46 is still too many
support more small GBs to keep the community growing and variety up.
I’m in the process of building alu KBD8x MKII (grey one).
Alpacas on a PC plate, will use case foam as well as plate foam and do a gummyworm mount.
Hope it will be nice enough to use until Rama U80 Seq2 comes…
I wonder if the function keys would look off since they are all R1 height, and there being minimal space between the main cluster. I love the design though.
Stop using mechmarket - it’s really bad now. Also, r/mk is not so good in my opinion anymore either. I guess I really just need to spend all my online keyboard-related time here.
Get used to linears - I started working on this one already and it’s going ok so far.
Buy a GMK set - in a group buy I mean. They’re ridiculous when you try to buy stuff aftermarket.
Add a HHKB Pro 3 Hybrid Type-S to my Topre collection, though gonna pass on the Heavy Grail since I want the HHKB for portability & Bluetooth connection
Add a Heavy-6 alumnium (can’t justify Veracity steel at all) to grow my Norbauer collection. It will go with the FC660C Silent that I have stashing away in a cupboard
Buy only MT3 doubleshot keycaps. My want list includes MiTo’s Godspeed (1) & Laser (2) if they ever come out (Laser less likely now that there’s MT3 Cyber), Zambumon’s Serika (3) and Matt3o Retro (4). Make them happen pls!
Buy KBDfans Topre Hi-Pro keycaps. Hopefully it will come out this year!
Spend less and join fewer group buys and appreciate what I have now a little more (especially on keycaps, I do not need another set with hiragana legends lol)
I guess my resolutions would be to learn how to use an ortholinear as I have a olkb preonic on the way. Additionally to get into my first big boy GB for a keyboard kit. Up until now I’ve just been purchasing in stock boards like my Alt and NK 65 Entry.
