Keyboards / Re: Unpopular Keyboard Opinions
« Last post by bkrownd on Fri, 19 April 2024, 17:33:07 »

The wear pattern on my spacebar is a 1u sized spot below the N key.  2u would easily cover that usage even if I was being sloppy.  As a high-mistake typer I'd dearly like to have a backspace-delete where the left side of the spacebar and save my pinky the frequent travel up to the corner of the keyboard.

I cannot believe I missed this after following this keycap set for literally years.

Any chance there will be a second GB?

Vendors will definitely have extras so keep an eye out. Also, Novelkeys usually hosts extras pre-orders.

I don't expect case companies to do away with 2.5 drives any time soon, while NVME is great, expandability is low.
Besides, it's pretty easy to hide a mount for a pair of them in a case, you can even just put a set of mounting holes in the case bottom/front rear and call it a day.

But also, case companies are slooooooow to move (due to tooling costs), they're still selling cases designed 20 years ago with new face plates, and they HAAAATE removing options.  Drive bays and such are feature or selling point. It's really only been since the Lian Li 011 that has really changed how cases look and work but even that has drive bays behind the mobo. Expect mobo makers to kill sata ports (and adding ore nvme) before cases really start dropping drive bays.

Damn. I'm sorry that can't feel good. Maybe you'll find look getting some extras in-stock?

Nice looking set.

Any chance you'd consider classic legends for Print, Pause, and the numpad (at least just the number key sublegends/arrows). I think it tends to look nicer on icon+text modifier sets. While the cleaner look does seem to go better with icon-only sets. Admittedly, I did Print/Scroll/Pause on Dolch R5 before, but seeing it in person made me change my mind.

for example...

Also, I know it's not depicted as clearly on the render, but can we just make sure that Pg Up and Pg Dn, etc actually have the space between "Pg" and "Up/Dn"? Don't know if I've seen GMK ever go with it altogether, but sometimes they do seem to go with as-depicted renders so just covering ground there by mentioning it.

Otherwise, it's nice to see proper legends on 1.5u Backspace and stepped Caps Lock. :thumb: GLWIC/GB!

I second both suggestion Lightning made here. The classic legends with front print for print/scroll/pause definitely hit different IMO. Then I'm thinking it's just the renders, but I also would like to see a space between Pg & Up/Down on the finished sets.

Looks like we will get bigger SSDs soon, phinix is now a happy hippo :)

Bring on 8TB SSD for $200! :D

The biggest winner here IMO is the users. I've been into PCs since the late 00s. Hard drive wiring was always a pain, now every Mobo has 2 NVME slots and there are now power or data wire to run. Much roomier and easier to manager. I can also see a future in which case manufactures opt out of having 2.5" drives even. Just use NVME.

I love the idea of turning my Realforce 104U into the equivalent of a HighProfile Realforce with some nice, tall spherical keycaps.

Yep, I'm thinking of grabbing that Minicom set.
