Agreed. Speaking of which here’s the one from the new GB announcement

I wish I could afford it :sob:

The last word processing one was my fav. And yes, me too, though the angle is too steep for me tbh. I would have gone for a Caerdroia, which I find breathtaking.

The angle doesn’t feel that steep to me. On the plus side, I put MTNU dolch on it and I can say that the steeper angle makes this profile feel better than ever for me.

Found those new Tecsee dome switches @Neprawda was showing off recently on Ali. Grabbed a few to see how they compare to the Naevies.

Whoa that 2 in 1 switch is cool. I’m not sure how often you need such a switch, but it’s nifty.

IIRC, I think made a few DIY versions of these when I was playing with the Raeds – it was either the space bar or right shift, but one of them was having trouble with returning so I threw in a spring from one of the Naevies and it fixed the issue. Didn’t seem to affect the sensing at all.

Does anyone know if the magnet will affect EC sensing?

Ok, I’ve NEVER seen relegendable ISO enters before.

NOS sets of Wyse keycaps for the the full sized board (everything but the bottom row is standard) for $47 after tax & shipping! Grabbed a set myself, not like you’ll find these everyday! 4 sets left right now if any of you guys are interested.

I was about to get in on this too, but I already have more keycap sets than keyboards, and I need to stop building new boards just to house my keycaps…

I know people here are aware of this but didn’t find it posted so thought I would! I love the new accent colors and 40s/ortho kit.

If I hadn’t just bought MTNU Granite…

I wasn’t aware, thank you kindly!

Oh yeah, I had seen it on GH but hadn’t seen that they changed the accent colors for Ctrl/Alt to more pastel/desaturated, rather than exactly matching the Red/Blue accents in the base. (I just got the accent set for MTNU Granite and using all the accents looks too weird b/c Esc matches control and Return matches Alt.)

There is a new version of DCS Hyperfuse being made but I can’t track it down. I saw a post about it just yesterday but now I can’t find it. Anyone have a link to share?

I wonder if Oco or whoever represents them now will let it run? They shot down DCS Superweld which was supposed to be a run of Hyperfuse in DCS.

I saw somebody on the Texas Mechs discord saying it was going to be Superweld with some changes to mods to avoid the Oco issues, though with more, herm, “colorful” phrasing.

This is also interesting to me as a relative newbie, seeing some of the hobby’s skeletons turned over. :rofl::popcorn:

Yes this one is cleared and in production. I think it was on Instagram. But I can’t find it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
