Things that make us go... hmmm 🤔

I was honestly interested in cannon keys balance.
But I saw a reddit post that pointed out the arrow cluster area looks like a partial male anatomy part and I will never look at it the same again.

Perfect for DSS DN…

It is more noticeable when it is nude

so uhhhh how much was this keyboard going to be? Im just asking for a friend >.>

[ajoflo]

Dude, your shift key …

this keyboard should not sound this good

[kimslawson]

Yep, it’s one of the YAS-62 Tinas. Solid, heavy-ass case with brass weight and plate. Happily, the weight color almost matches the triumph-colored /dev/tty mods

Good to know the mod might not be too hard. I’d love to gain the tilde and get the HHKB top-right layout with the single-u backslash and more convenient backspace. I think then this will truly be my perfect layout. (I feel your knowing “endgame, huh?” stares)

Never heard of a D-Pad, eh?

The Black Panther set they announced today is much more palatable:

[pixelpusher]

Yes, for sure. I like it! I don’t know why they felt the need to use a different legend color on the novelties, but It’s certainly better. Hope these new Marvel sets don’t take over the entire MT3 production queue though

[djmantis]

Much better than Cap’s! What is that meme format with Despicable Me?

They are all going to be SA aren’t they…

[pixelpusher]

Well, i thought it was better, but the acutal photos from users looks worse than the product photos. hmmmm… indeed.

[Deadeye]

I do like that much better… but where is the gold and/or silver?

Also - why does this one look like MT3 but the last one was SA?

Edit: This one is indeed MT3 - and I do see the grey / “silver” legends - but still. There should be a splash of gold in there somewhere.

The cool thing is that Dorp (or Marvel) appears to be investing in new tooling for MT3 novelties, so that’s potentially exciting.

The first one (Captain America) was MT3 as well. Easiest to tell for me is the “Q” legend as ABS MT3 uses the one Matt3o created for Susuwatari (it’s fairly distinctive).

The description now saw MT3 as well, I’m not sure if it did at first.

I love this idea. It’s really good to see some true innovation and “thinking different” in this part of the keebverse. More like this, please!

[Reimu64]

Riskable is a genius. I’ve been following their work for the past year and I gotta say I’m impressed. Using magnetic separation to create tactility isn’t new by any means, but the fact that he’s made a modern version of it is amazing.

It’s still a long way until till I can see a production version being made. Maybe in the future, we won’t be swapping springs, but instead magnets of different strengths ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Clearly it’s time to sell mine.

What in the unholy hipsterocity is this? Did anyone already try it?

I bet they’re aiming to clone the feel of the Jelly Epoch. This is a bit too fancy for me.
