I wonder if it would be possible to give this set the Greg treatment, to shape out a pair of goggles amid the yellow alphas. I think it would be more on brand for a playful theme like the Minions. It could be bundled with the yellow mods.

I did try playing around with this idea as it was the first thing that came to mind, unfortunately it just didn't really look good no matter what layout I attempted. The row stagger on keyboards really doesn't lend itself to a goggle shape.

please xbox backspace PLEASEEEEE
You know what, I second this! A 1.5u R2 Xbox backspace key would have me grabbing a kit just for that!

add a separate full kit of icon mods while you are at it. ;D

both beige and dolch icon mod kits are super hard and expensive to acquire. for beige it is 9009 R1 (2016) and for dolch it is Dolch R1 (2014) and Burgundy R1 (2017) that last had icon mods (with xbox backspace)

imo icon mods are also part of OG history. so would definitely fit the theme of this set!

Probably asking a bit much from where this ideal started so I doubt it. Although this is also a great ideal, might even be something that could run on its own merit TBH.

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! Kishsaver+Industrial Model F

Progress update:

The factory is finishing up assembly of the F104 and FSSK this month. 

The F122 has also completed production, everything except for the inner and outer/packaging foam, so I approved assembly to start.  This week I ordered the F122 PCBs and the Leyden Jar controllers.  The factory had some issues with their F122 sample even though mine worked fine but they just ended up fixing it by using another capacitive board (one of the sample boards was defective or damaged). 

To save time in the past the factory would start assembly with the foam/barrels/flippers (the most time consuming portion of assembly) and they store the inner assembly upside down while they wait for the PCBs to arrive and for the time they spend soldering the controller/ribbon cable/capacitive PCB.  Also the Leyden Jar firmware has been fine tuned with some slight updates for the F122 and now it is working well.

Ever since I got my hhkb, I've noticed that I've been typing like, way less hard than I used too, you would think I was using 100g springs with how hard it was, but I don't know it just happened suddenly when I switched off it to my mx board and realised that.

I think it might've happened because of how tiring it was with how I used to type on my hhkb, cause it's got that steel plate so when you type really hard it feels so stiff, so maybe my hands adjusted subconsciously so It wouldn't be as harsh or tiring. The only other thing I could think of is that because the actuation of the topre switches and it being tactile, but I have used tactiles that are like topre in terms of you push the switch and it bottoms out and I still typed pretty hard with them.

How hard do you all type, would like to know?
isnt hhkb plastic though? realforce are steel plate

Yeah it is actually didn't know that, assumed it was steel like the realforce, maybe the stiffness comes from how the tactility is in topre + integrated plate + how hard I was typing, that's what I'm thinking.

Keyboard Keycaps / How to have a custom keycap set built?
« Last post by mathisart on Tue, 14 May 2024, 20:15:41 »
How can one have a custom keycap set built?
By custom keycaps I mean keycaps with a custom geometry that doesn't exactly match the profile/shape/size of any existing keycap set.
I'm currently 3D printing such keycaps but I wonder how they could be built in (non-3D-printed) ABS or PBT.

The shape is not too exotic; they look kinda like this: https://adafruit.com/product/5111 but with some (nontrivial) differences.

Bonus question: how to add custom art/fonts/icons to the keycaps.

Other Geeky Stuff / Re: What video games are you currently playing?

Rogue Genesia. I love Survivor-type games, and got this last night and was instantly addicted. Better than most I have played, and it is still pretty early access.

Also Death Must Die with the new update. DMD is shaping up to be a really solid title. Basically Hades meets Vampire Survivors, good powers, voice acting, some fun dialogue. I'd recommend both, especially for the price.

Interviewed today for a position that is 10PM to 7AM
The guy was trying to sell me on the freedom of those hours, how the job comes with a paid hour lunch and full access to the cafe, but I'm sitting there like 'Everything will be closed at 2AM for lunch, and the cafe closes at 5'

In the Winter, at best, I'll be getting just about an hour of sunlight a day if I sit next to the window of the bus on my ride home. The last guy who had the position just died from a heart attack, which is why they were looking to fill.

It's just red flags everywhere, and here I am just wanting to make enough to afford both food and rent. Life is unyielding and cruel.

Bello! I am a minion and I was commanded to tell you how I feel about this set which is to say yes I would like more minion stuff.
This would look great next to the Minion router.

Would definitely go for a goofy ah set like this. Great job on the design.
