Things that make us go... hmmm 🤔

I very nearly thought that was a new board with some sweet late 90’s early 2000’s artwork. Even cooler to see it’s actually vintage.

Just look at that funky receiver. Using that sweet IR technology. This thing is a real time capsule.

I can only imagine how frustrating an infrared keyboard connection would be considering how persnickety infrared TV remotes are.

Now imagine trying to play video games with them.

PAL region games. Through an NTSC TV.

It should be felonious to call an IR blaster “wireless” /s

Good god.

  • Manufacturer name I’ve never heard of (SWK)
  • Funky top housing
  • Haimu holes?

IDK seems gimmicky but who knows, maybe an extra half mm of housing rail does something, maybe not.

can we get a plastic version without the wireless charging stuff for like $250? That’d be nice.

Im going to be suprised if they sell more than 10…

I totally agree. I just redid a board for this exact reason. It was an annoying realization at the time, but one I appreciate now.

That picture also kinda reminds of Pacific Rim, but the keyboard edition…

I’m going to be surprised if they sell even 10

Slightly interesting; this site is selling Wuque-badged switches as an alternate color option for Haimu Heartbeat lienars.

Got down a hole and ended up looking at this for reasons that are beyond me. Apparently they’ve sold four so far. What got me though was this:

Kailh’s new shrouded stems. They perform well - but they also do this:

This is a brand-new keycap, mounted once on the pictured switch.

Stressed cap on the left, fresh on the right.
