Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?
« Last post by Rhienfo on Thu, 09 May 2024, 11:16:38 »I did not quit, but last year decided to reduce my collection, sold most of my keyboards and keycaps sets, left just 4 boards and maybe 7-8 sets of keycaps.
I simply felt overwelmed and kinda exhausted of constant chasing better keyboard.
I realised that biggest issue I've been having are stabilisers in all custom kits I had. After over 10 years of modding and building keyboards I ended up being unable to properly lube those ****ers... I dont know what I've been doing wrong but after some time every stab started to scratch again and I simply was too tired to do something with it. Such a simple thing put me off the entire hobby...
Anyway, I kept my favourite boards - Realforce r1 87u55 and CM Quickfire Rapid with MX Blacks. Those are for me personally immportal boards that will stay with me to the rest of my life. Other two are custom kits.
Stayed in our forum, of course mostly for chatting with tpand keeping in touch with our community - 90% of the time stying in Off Topic, but always read all other bits and keeping myself up to date with everything keyboards related
I understand why people feel overwhelmed in the hobby nowadays, so many different switches and boards that's hard to keep up, even as there are less options since like 2021/2022 cause the hobby is less popular than it is now. I've just given up trying to keep up and just stick to what I know when it comes to switches and keycap brands, but keyboards are far more manageable so I can keep up with that.
For stabs idk I just put a light coat kyrtox 205g0 on the stab housing and xht-bdz lube on the wire and that usually works fine, only issues I have that weren't just faulty stabs was spacebar ticking.

This is the same thing that happened with Mad Cow, Big Meat bought out the Government, and 90% of US beef is NOT-TESTED for mad-cow disease. This is an ongoing problem.
Profits are more important than you know, Bird Flu, and this is H5N1 we're talking about, yea that H5N1, with 60% fatality in human infections.
People can't freakn' count, heading off a major pandemic might cost $Billions, COVID cost $Trillions

mad cow disease is scary af, having your mind deteriorate quickly with no way to stop it, is an insanely scary thought.
Probably one of the first things that me question the non pork meat consumption that I was eating, especially knowing the conditions of a lot of these factory farms that these cows are in.

I'm sure I could give it up any time, if I wanted to.
I'd love to see your collection of keyboards collected in real time vs finding a vintage model. Kind of like large car collections that were build from new models vs second hand. Super cool.

They said they sent order this week, but nothing was sent to the carrier yet
Actually, you can ask any customer. Except for the GB Mirror98, all remaining orders have been shipped within the one-week timeframe agreed upon in the previous Reddit post
