Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?
« Last post by Rhienfo on Thu, 09 May 2024, 23:45:23 »I would have never tought, this topic would evolve to such a lively debate. But I like that.
For me the hobby means "discovering something new with every new board".
That means new switches, new stabs, new plate, new mounting system (ok last 2 are rather limited, but you get the point) etc.
I'm at something like 20 boards and still feel I haven't even scratched the surface.
Someone here mentioned "I know what I like and so every new board will hat that very same switches and stabs". Of course you could to that, there is nothing wrong with that! It's just now my way to go and ultimatly this is what keeps me captive in this hobby. It's so hard to quit when there comes something new and interesting on the market literally on a daily basis.
I do think experimenting and trying new stuff is important, but to me stuff like buying new switches and new stabs aren't very appealing to me. Like there has been very few new switches that I have found were interesting, the haimu silents were probably the most recent ones, because of how the switch is redesigned to prevent a mushy bottom out that regular silents have. I have experimented a lot with different plates, lubes and mounting style so I do know what works and what doesn't for me, which is why I don't deviate that much, but I'm still into trying out new ways of doing things, and stuff like different spring weights as well, I still have a long way to go in this hobby.

This sounds like a deficiency of Beta Carotene which is what coats the back of your retina preventing damage from UV.
Gotta eat them yellow/orange veggies.

And is there any reason that there's a blocker above right arrow? I am very used to having that place for end key above right arrow, would be great if the same was in this kit!

So unless the controller is overheating, it's fine.

it has been festering in me for years.
People who know me know that I like "sitting around in the dark" .... No doubt that my eyes are sensitive, they are pale blue and I am getting older, but I have always preferred low light situations. As far as enjoying a dark environment indoors - that seems natural to me. True, now that my visual acuity is diminished I need extra light for critical close-up tasks but for general "sitting around" I strongly prefer low light levels.
My ex- in contrast, was one of those people who turned on every light in the house right away. On a dark winter morning that is absolutely painful to me. And, I hardly ever set foot outside in sunlight without dark sunglasses.
As far as open windows, that can be pleasant (if there is nothing ugly outside like pollen or smoke) but downstairs in an area where there are passersby, no, I don't think so.
