Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?
« Last post by erretter on Mon, 06 May 2024, 05:04:56 »
Thank you two for sharing your thoughts on this topic. A snowblower community? OMG there really is nothing on this world that can't be turned into a hobby :D

For me the most time consuming part of the keyboard hobby is research. Searching for the next best thing, researching on others ideas and how they work out. Of course building stuff your self can be pretty time consuming too, but there is just sooooo much to discover. I mean how many switches are out there?!

Keyboards / Sonnet or Zoom 75, help me choose
« Last post by lumen on Mon, 06 May 2024, 04:55:05 »
I want to build a 75 and narrowed it down to these two. Anyone here have either of these? The overall value of the Zoom 75 is a little better since you get more features, but my first keyboard build was a Mode and I love the feel of it and not gonna lie the RGB on the Zoom is attractive to me since I have never tried it out. Would love some feedback from the experts.

I have rotated hobbies for several decades.  The only one I revisited for a few years with additional purchases was my watch collecting… oh, and did buy a specific high end knife after I finally won the maker’s “lottery” after a 4 year wait from my last purchase in the hobby (I could see me doing similar if/when I would get selected for a Key Cult raffle).  I still very much enjoy most of the pieces from most of the hobbies I collected over the years.  There was some downsizing in some hobbies to bare essential grail pieces, like with my camera hobby.

I currently have 7 keyboards (after having given one of my HHKB’s to my son) + waiting on 2 groupbuys (with one also including a numpad).  At this point I feel pretty satiated with keyboards, but pretty much enjoy all the keyboards I own and am glad I dabbled in this hobby, and will continue practicing my typing skills (with my speed having doubled in 3/4 a year and near 100% accuracy).  I imagine I’ll check out KB forums from time to time as I do revisit forums from other hobbies from time to time.  It is interesting how varied forum cultures are, depending what is being collected.  Probably the culture that is most particular that I have trouble getting along with is the snowblower collecting community.  They are crazy opinionated with lots of rules about what can and cannot be said.

These apps are levers for further capitalist rot. So we already agree, it's not there to entertain you, it's there to Sell-You-Stuff. The funny cat videos they insert in between advertisement is just to manipulate a person's emotional state, to compel spending.

So we see that it's selling the user's data/ attention, the ads themselves sell planet destroying junk that you'd get bored of after 30 minutes, and reach for the app to brainwash you into buying Yet-More-Stuff.

Social media applications under capitalism, greatly accelerates the death of our planet.

Isn't that literally everything in society like this. Like it's all made for you to buy something, not even something as essential as a house is free, you need to buy one.

What would a TGR Jane V1 CE be worth? Unassembled with diffuser, LEDs, etc.

There are some updated review videos from Chinese reviewers to check out. Although the language is only Chinese, you can still get a relatively intuitive view of the prototypes we prepared by watching the videos. I hope you can enjoy those review videos.
