When Bill Clinton left office in 2001, he left Bush Jr a  Budget Surplus

Eliminated the national deficit, and had the highest employment rate of any sitting President since.
But all anyone remembers is a cum-stained dress

If on 2014-11-10, instead of putting your $160 of money into the group "buy" for the Matias 60% with plastic case, you had bought a US Treasury Bill fund, you would have just under $200 today.  If you had invested in a  US S&P 500 fund, you would have almost $600.

Similarly, $160 in November 2014 has the same buying power as $217.80 in May 2025.

I noticed that this keyboard started crowdfunding yesterday, and here are some updated photos. Is anyone interested? It seems to offer other PCB layout options; I saw both 60% and 87% PCBs. The link says it can provide DIY CAD drawings. Is it difficult to DIY a capacitive keyboard?

You be much better off going with a true custom that has EC internals, which there has been a ton of lately & thanks to Cipulot there is even TKL & 60% EC PCBs that fit a ton of customs. Then TBH Niz's EC components are pretty meh IME compared to OEM, Deskeys, KLC, or Dynacap. That's honestly why you're not seeing much discussion over this, also the fact Niz is crowfunding seems a bit sus too. They have already released a ton of plastic EC boards & even a few metal ones. Can't see any reason a company like them should be crowdfunding.

83 is way too hot for me, just dripping sweat sitting here doing nothing with 2 fans blowing directly at me
ugh
