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

Well, with a keyboard like that you should definitely learn Git; even if you are not a coder.

It is very useful to keep track of different versions and backups of plain text files over different computers or to collaborate with others on the same text. I use Git and Hg Mercurial all the time. It saved my sorry ass more than once!

Huh that is something I could use in my day to day actually! As I do find myself chasing blueprints, estimates, customer notes, etc. on different PCs, phones, tablets, etc. & have been saying I’d like a way to make that less of a messy experience. Only problem there, to do that I’d have buy a few laptop or tablets to let who I have working with me use. I definitely don’t want to have access to other people’s personal devices (even if it’s just access to a certain app or something for sharing info), in case they get compromised. I bookmarked the links you put up & gonna look more into it for sure. Because eventually I will need to setup a network me & all my workers can access for work related stuff. I’m not quite there yet, but me & my buddy who have been doing jobs together for years have been talking about biting the bullet, getting all the paperwork together to form an LLC, then hiring some employees.

You and your buddy…

That’s not how Git works, the data is normally in the cloud but the versions are all managed automatically for you. Other stuff too.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking is that GIT can help me get around that. I’ve used a few payroll apps with companies I’ve worked for before that I really didn’t like security wise is why I said that.

Stems and springs from the NovelKeys variant of Kangaroo Ink switches. Thanks, @leemu!

With GitHub the data is stored somewhere in the (Microsoft :cry:) cloud, but with git on its own, one can also store the data in a local server of ones choosing.

“…normally…”

Ooo, makes me jealous. :sweat_smile:

I finally got this the other day.

Received some MMD princess linears today. PC top, Nylon bottom and POM-PTFE blend stem, supposedly. Not 100% sure about that yet, but kind of sure that they are made by BSUN. 3.2mm travel, so they have some pretty long poles. They feel very smooth but they are also filled with lube. There is some stem wobble but it’s not that bad, maybe average gateron kind of wobble. Very nice sound, though.

Nice, the board itself is pretty dirty but the switches look good. At least nothing a ultrasonic bath can’t take care of! Hope the vints are some smooth ones, the last Wyse board I harvested had some really nice uber broke in ones!

You misspelled “flamethrower”.

Opened up a few and was surprised to discover they had relatively low wear. This is the switch from the long boi 9.75u spaaaaaaacebar:

Yikes! This would be right at home in the Keyboard Horror thread.

AF SA clone caps from AliExpress

Also, a new batch of black lotus. I feel like the chirp is still there unlubed, but man, I sure like these switches.

All of these years later, and all of these keyboards, and my Klippe is still one of my favorites. This particular setup is the closest I’ve ever been to an aesthetic I’ve been chasing for decades. It’s all wrapped up in 80’s sci-fi that shaped my childhood (2001, Bladerunner, Alien, Aliens, and Star Wars -particularly Empire Strikes Back). I remember playing outside late in the winter snow with the street lights coming on (we called them night watchers, did you?) This all strangely goes together in my head. Add in the humming of fish tank pumps. Weird, right? But it makes sense to me. A lot of people don’t pay attention to the PC caps by SP, but they offer a feel and look unlike anything else out there. They are unique and definitely need the right setup to showcase their brilliance.

Can anyone recommend me some dark green switches that might be a good color match to BRG?

On an unrelated note, now that I finally have this the only keeb thing I’m still waiting on is the random TKL I ordered from cannonkeys a few days ago. My list of pending GBs is finally empty :smile:
