Dielectric Dayenu!

Finally got this literal nightmare in working order after having it sitting in my drawer for 4 months, its the only thing I still have around with a detached micro controller, and working on it today reminded me of why I only use complete SMT PCBs now, desoldering microcontrollers is a thankless task. (built with kaihl box reds lubed with 
Krytox 105)
I threw a Nice! nano in here and its the perfect width to rest over my macbook keyboard without touching it.
(rest in peace white balance, you will be missed)

I took a few weeks off and that’s definitely part of my vacation plans. Just finished lubing a bunch of H1’s that I have to slap in my Space65 CyberVoyager, and then figure out my Sinc build.

My only chore at this time is desoldering my Kbd8x. And lubing, filming, and soldering Glorious Pandas in their place. At my pace it’s about a month of work.

You make a compelling argument.

Just be sure to have proper ventilation - burning POM releases formaldehyde gas. 
As an aside, PVC is even worse. I learned this while working in the signage industry; one of the small shops I spent time with had done a fair bit of damage to their industrial laser table by cutting and engraving lots of PVC with it. Turns out! Those vapors are corrosive, and every bare metal surface in the machine became covered with rust. I’m just glad the thing had a strong fume extractor.

I built this board pretty early on before I was lubing anything. The switches sound fine but the rattly stabs always bugged me. So, instead of taking it apart, I’m shoving some dielectric grease in there with dental picks.

Got my Kyria up and running. They weren’t kidding about the aggressive pinky stagger. My chores are to get used to typing on this layout, then learn ZMK and install the batteries when they arrive. This message took way too long to type up, lol

I like to mess around with layout ideas in my spare time. Sometimes I even build them if I like them enough. Just whipped this one together loosely based on the Triumph Adler.

It’s so it doesn’t sound so much when stacking the plates ofc.
But FYI, a rubber version of that is used on ships to prevent things from sliding around.

Yep. My mom uses the same stuff for all kinds of things; dampening the cabinets, preventing the silverware tray from sliding in the drawer, and keeping rugs in place.
