I don't know what my next keeb will be. It has got to speak to me.

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@Wyatt I got you. I have been feeling out my next build as I wait for the group buy keyboard to arrive in July 🫠

@JLW_the_Jobber
Which GB?

Wyatt, 1 year ago

@JLW_the_Jobber
I want to get these... But I don't have a keeb to match. So this might be my build. The second someone mentioned Gentoo keycaps, I was smitten.

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@Wyatt I really like that look. like the 80s retro cyber feel to to them. Plus that purple is hauntingly beautiful

GB ends tomorrow... I don't want to rush it. But if I REALLY want this one, then I have to act fast. I am just curious about the sounds. I heard one configuration, and wasn't too thrilled. We both know, sound can be changed.

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@Wyatt but that is a steep investment if it turns out that you don't like it 😭

@JLW_the_Jobber @Wyatt I’d probably have a Split64 now if it didn’t use USB Micro-B, which I despise. What does this one use?

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@benjaminhollon @Wyatt USB C!!!!!

benjaminhollon, 1 year ago

@JLW_the_Jobber @Wyatt Ooh great!

…it’s still too large a board for me. I’ve tried 60% now and am never going back. ;)

I still have a Ferris PCB for either of you. I have like 4 iirc.

benjaminhollon, 1 year ago

@Wyatt @JLW_the_Jobber Hmm as fun as that would be I’m trying not to adopt anything I can’t replicate on my laptop keyboard…

@JLW_the_Jobber @Wyatt Alsi why a GB instead of buying it directly in-stock? https://ymdkey.com/products/ymdk-split-75-84-acrylic-case-plate-underglow-rgb-fully-programmable-pcb-stabilizers-ansi-iso-diy-kit-similar-to-vea-layout

Or am I missing something?

@benjaminhollon @JLW_the_Jobber
With Group Buys, they are limited runs. So, they can be higher cost while being more customized.

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@Wyatt @benjaminhollon or they may use different materials, like aluminum instead of acrylic

benjaminhollon, 1 year ago

@JLW_the_Jobber @Wyatt
Which is the case here?

JLW_the_Jobber, 1 year ago

@benjaminhollon @Wyatt the one I ordered is aluminum
