These new 16mm TX springs sound like they might be better candidates for some people using 55 gr and trying to make 45 gr work in a Boba housing. [If such weights become available.]

Going back into the box and wait for the caps and keebs

Nice! I have 4 on the way. Hoping they show up soon. Such a fun artisan.

givemeyourshoes · September 14, 2020, 9:06pm

Oh neat. I didn’t realized Drop shipped these yet. I thought they were hella delayed sue to color matching issues.

Got some _NK Blueberry switches in today and swapped them in where I had some Halo Clears. They are a punchy tactile switch!

For fun, I did the frankenswitch thing and put a Blueberry stem in the Halo Clear housing with the Halo Clear spring and the return is really tactile but that must be due to the lighter spring.

Also made a Paco switch. I don’t think that’s for me.

Fresh from South Korea - Art Box switches!

Check it out; 5 pins on the bottom and an interference-free shape on the top:

I’m sure there’s some contractual reason these are only sold under the Archon brand in SK, but hey, thanks to proxy sites I can have my RBG and GMK it, too.

GMK Olivia++ came in today.

Definitely a few issues with the legends (E on Esc, the @, the number 3…) but it is a gorgeous colorway.

Got my B’gnu-Thun’s Spoops and Alien today!!!

Orrnnery · September 15, 2020, 2:16am

yeah man pm me

givemeyourshoes · September 15, 2020, 2:38am

Soon TM

skepp · September 15, 2020, 5:24am

Well the Ares and Monochrome were good first and shipped before Apollo and MiTo.

givemeyourshoes · September 15, 2020, 6:14am

Ahhh, I got the Mito so that’s why then.

XTaran · September 15, 2020, 12:26pm

Reminds me immediately of this nice video:

I guess you could implement this in QMK.

XTaran · September 15, 2020, 12:41pm

Care to post a link to these boards? My DuckDuckGo foo wasn’t good enough to find something on the net about them, but I got tons of Arduino Uno links and 1x1 Midi thingies…

kimslawson · September 15, 2020, 2:30pm

Sure. The group buy ended about 3mo ago, and there are pictures there. There’s an active discord. Reputedly, the Keyhive store will stock extras when it reopens from paternity leave.

nolawill · September 16, 2020, 4:15pm

keychron k8 secondhand, but still sealed in the box. First TKL mech.

skepp · September 16, 2020, 5:51pm

Just so I can match different keyboards.

phitz · September 16, 2020, 7:15pm

My first ortholinear board - liking it so far. So, guess this isn’t just what’d I get in the mail (a couple days late, to be fair) but also What’s on my desk today…

chono · September 16, 2020, 8:17pm

Kuro/Shiro came in yesterday.

skepp · September 16, 2020, 8:26pm

I really hope I can snatch some extra to put on my Think 6.5v2 in the wait for KAT Refined.
