I wondered if you signed up for the PC Hippo - nice!

I have an alu Hippo and I love it - it’s not my daily driver just because I’m really into my Petrichor layout at the moment, but I’m really glad I got the Hippo. It feels great, sounds great, looks amazing. I do want to get a carbon fiber plate for it at some point, but the alu plate is also good. It was a little overwhelming at first because of the huge bezels, but if I didn’t have an alu version, I’d be signing up for PC

Today? I bought I Preonic Round 3 and a Chameleon BLE 4x12. This last month? Many Plancks. Many switches. Many MT3 sets.

Yep. And the group buy succeeded, so I officially paid for a PC Hippo 80 today

Keep circling the block on an Envy65
Thinking of the Hailey.design Infernum
What do we think about BSUN Golden Apple Tactile with the PEI bottom? I’ve been thinking about getting a PEI plate but hadn’t yet and then saw these come out. I started circling PEI for folding knife scales, and then it showed up in keyboards, and I still have no PEI! I think a few places have them in stock, I was looking at BSUN Golden Apple Tactile Switches (18 Pack) – Divinikey
I love the particular combination of red and beige and thin(ish) legends on the jukebox alphas.

Definitely one of my favorite sets. I hade the Original in SA when it first dropped, but I sold all my keeb stuff when I left the hobby for a while. I still miss that one and Troubled Minds. I have the Base Set on my Poker II I recently Overhauled. It’s been around since I had SA Jukbox and Troubled Minds, so I had to swap all of the switches when a spill caused them to stop clicking.
I want to try new profiles for my keycaps. So I’ve already ordered a set of XDA keycaps
The one I currently have is cherry. Thing is what caught my attention looking for profiles is the SA one.
I’m really having a hard time finding an ISO-es one with the ç and so on but I don’t despair

There aren’t a ton of SA sets with language support beyond EN and NorDe, but the dye-sub Flex sets have ES
Kitting is just a bit of pain since they break everything down in such a complicated manner that “65% mods” are sold separately from “60%” and “Alternate” ones - you really need to know what you need for your particular board.

Well, LEGO released the first batch of the Pokémon sets, and I’m sold. Now just to convince myself that I should spend $650 on the set.

As @Piperaceae says, it’s tough. Spanish layout keycaps tend to be dye-sublimated like the XDA caps you’ve ordered and like the Flex SA-P, whereas most (though by no means all) SA sets, including the other makers who’ve done various “SA-like” profiles are usually double-shot injection molded, which has significant upfront costs for every single keycap mold.
It’s not helpful at all if your heart is set on SA, but I have started seeing the “usual suspects” being cloned into MOA profile, which is spherical and rather comfy, though it has a distinct look and isn’t sculpted per-row like most modern SA caps.
I also see some (overpriced, IMO, but I’m not in your shoes) OEM profile, which is very Cherryilike but a bit taller and less “sharp.” REally though, the SA-P Flex is probably your best bet.

Did someone mention ç? Might we have another member from France??
That makes at least four of us, along with @Rico and @Wooden-Toilet, who appears to have been lovingly handcrafted at a company based out of Lille, where he was named after a Merovingian king mostly known today for his appearance in an unflattering nursery rhyme.
EDIT: It appears @DaniUG is not French. But beyond any reasonable doubt, Wooden Toilet most certainly is.

This image is awesome LOL, thank you for making it. I can’t believe you found my 100% lore accurate origin story.
(One day I will own a Wooden-Toilet Throne for my bathroom, that’s how I know I made it.)

I’m flattered… just call me Popeye:
Btw, real photo of @Rico and @Wooden-Toilet meeting up:
Far be it from me to judge… you have to pay for this hobby somehow!
Ok, I’ll stop spamming this thread now.
