What did you get in the mail today? (Part 1)

Oh snap I didn’t know the hippo stickers were out yet!

[ rad bandcamp vinyl ]

It came with a fun shirt, too.

Yea, I’ll admit the sticker is probably the only reason I got them since I don’t see myself using the Hippo switch tbh (god I almost said I don’t see myself using this ticket alot… don’t work and type on a forum at the same time kids :smiley: )

Honestly I just did exactly the same thing with the Diamond linears on Bolsa; I have plenty of linears, but I’ll never have enough of @Seo_bun’s sticker designs.

Hey, maybe I’ll use it as an opportunity to do a video on UHMWPE stuff. I actually love the Hippo switches - and now that it seems like the industry has the material figured out, maybe some of thees other new ones will be good as well.

Clueless Millennial question incoming, but why is that album cover just George Harrison? Mashups?

Other than the group being from Wales, I have no idea. It definitely doesn’t sound like any of his music that I know; it’s more early 90’s rave nostalgia.

I’m on the older end of Millennial myself. :man_shrugging: This album reminds me of playing Playstation (they grey one) on the weekend. It also paints the nostalgic picture of a rave I never went to (because I wasn’t old enough in 1992) - which I think is where the Vaporwave aspect comes in. That stuff is like keyboards in how deep the rabbithole goes; every subgenre branches into a couple more. I think the one thing they all have in common is being about fleeting vibes of the past.

are these the Venice color or did you get a custom powder done? Looks awesome!

A pan-nordic Tai-Hao “sunshine” keyset.

Surprisingly it came with the a short right shift and a few 1u-blanks. No fn-key though…

I am not sure if I actually going to use it, but nordic double shot pbt caps are so rare that I usually buy them as soon as I can get one.

It’s the sunset boulevard powder coat finish. It was one of the available finishes for the Heavy Grail. I believe it may be available for other Norbauer boards in the future.

Finally had time to process these (and some other recent acquisitions) so here’s some better shots:

Apologies—got to this quite late! Yes, the spacebar’s fit is good and no warping, very straight; however my spacebar has some imperfections from the casting process noticeable on the underside (where it won’t be visible anyway). You can see a little bit where excess resin from the mould was sanded (?) off on parts of the edges, but it looks perfectly fine when mounted so no complaints!

NB: Idea23 has a policy of replacing keycaps if they have issues with functionality too.

Oh dang those switches are pretty :heart: Although I kinda wish the Anubis switch was black and gold but I get why they called it that and the color combo

I got the craftkeys artisan from gmk civilizations in today and it’s so clean looking

Yeah, I only knew about it from folks on the Typeau Design Discord server that were following when the sale was going to open.

That tiny condom :laughing:

nice! yeah the color in person is a lot better than in any picture I’ve seen so far or the ones we made in a studio. I attached a video on the detail page of the product to show how easy it changes because it’s a satin fabric.

fyi for everyone else, the discount code KEEBTALK is still active :wink:
