Today, after work, I decided to clean up my keyboard, and also put on two of the novelty caps I ordered with my dev:tty set. When I originally put the board together, I was kind of in a hurry, and didn’t waste any time going through the bags of extras I had. Then, because I’m lazy and it looked fine to me, I left it as is.
Today, my son pointed out that my escape key wasn’t the correct row profile. And, holy shit, he was right! This board has been to two meetups now, most recently KeyCon, and none of you eagle-eyed perfectionists told me. My son noted, “they probably figured you had a good reason for doing it that way”.
I would need to search my pictures, but i had been able twice to take pictures for my german community, mk with new keycaps DSA profile, one keycap upside down.
Putting it together, take the picture, open up in Photoshop before uploading, three chances to see the obvious.
Sometimes we’re blind and it had been good for some kind of joke.
LOL. I initially put the “O” key upside down. I could not figure out why it didn’t match. I even sent in a support ticket to MassDrop. Then I figured it out. It did look exactly like row 4 and I did send in a “I’m so fucking stupid” message before the poor soul doing QA at MD could send me a coupon.
I really did think I got a COLVRAK “O” by mistake.
Ah. It’s on my list to try but the first run didn’t look that appealing to me (and all the legend alignment issues made me glad I skipped. I’ll probably pick it up sometime in the future to try though.
