Interest Checks / [IC] DCS Lil' Lav
« Last post by Piperaceae on Wed, 17 September 2025, 17:40:41 »


A smol lil' set that only wants to be cute and fun.

September 17, 2025: IC Launched

•••

Lil' Lav is a deliberately minimalist DCS set, inasmuch as I'm able to do "minimalism."

(Narrator: "He was not able to do minimalism at all.")

As such, some things like 6.25u bottom row, extra 65/75 column keys, stepped Ctrl, etc. have been omitted to keep costs down, and to allow for inclusion of less common, enthusiast-oriented coverage like big Enter and full HHKB support in the base instead.

A few legends here and there have been drawn from deep dives into Signature Plastics's archive, harkening back to their earliest hobbyists sets circa 2011. There's long thin arrows, lotus novelties, the "Compose Character" key from Wyse/SMRT, plus a few others to discover. (But nothing too weird.)

Vendors

TBD. If you've a vendor and would be interested in carrying this set, reach out to me here, or message me (piperaceae_) on Discord.

•••

Dates

TBD. Shipping probably ~3 months after the GB ends.

Material and Colors
Doubleshot ABS, in stock Signature Plastics RFK and REK lavender, BHD teal, and WGJ pinkish-cream.

Kitting and Pricing
Pricing is estimated retail, and is subject to change.

Base Kit

@50: $127.50
@75: $113.45
@100: $106.42

Numpad Kit

@25: $43.70
@50: $29.41

10u Kit

@15: $14.87
@25: $9.60
@50: $5.65


I did try for a 40's kit, but the pricing was such that there was just no way it would hit an MOQ where it was affordable for most people. And putting 4/5-key 40s in a base that doesn't already include 1.25u bottom row keys proved pretty useless when I went to experiment with various 40s boards.

please add kit for standar layout

Please add a question about interest in a standard kit to the IC form.

As learned from Teletype, 40s + Addon would be prohibitively expensive.

Episode 6,  well,  don't hate it,  but pretty close.  Just lazy writing.

Hook up the enterprise with copper cables for landline phones? Even the AI writer wouldn't go with something so ridiculous.  That's not even how phones work.

TP4 might need some adjustment >.>

What were the options, look at your response rate, there wasn't a single thought behind your rambling, and you made no attempts to fact check, or incorporate points of view.

You came in here for a word fight, with no intention of discussion.

Tp4 provided you with what you were looking for,  assessed and turned up your stress lvl to maximum until you saw your broken self.

Tp4 is friend to all.

Hey, where are you in Europe? If you want to do more research on what you want I can solder it up for you? I feel like with the amount you're paying you might as well get something exactly to your specification

Keyboards / Re: Are Wooting really worth ?
« Last post by Harue on Wed, 17 September 2025, 16:42:49 »
Bit late;

I’ve owned custom mechanical keyboards with all kinds of switches, even frankenswitches. The last one I used was the Xikii Crazyboard86, since a lot of top OSU players had it before Wooting came out.



When the Wooting 80HE was announced, I pre-ordered right away, and it’s been completely worth it. The responsiveness, sound, feel, features, and software make a huge difference for gaming. Rapid Trigger feels incredible, and the warranty gives peace of mind if anything ever goes wrong. What more could you ask for?

I don’t see myself going back to custom builds anymore. I’ll just swap keycaps. Wooting really is on another level.

Sss.. ok, what is happening with Star Trek.

Episode 6, again, starting up yet another love-polygon with Laan Spock Kirk.

A real head-scratcher.. Did they do a focus group for the Younger-Trek fanbase, and everyone voted unanimously for m0ar love-polygons.


This isn't a coincidence, they're really pushing this hard, front and center,  the question is WHYyyyy.

Ok, episode 5, not awful.

It's just,  well if it's an ancient high tech alien prison, how come it's so easy to just get in, and everyone can just start pressing buttons and trigger pretty consequential security apparatuses,

That's just bad prison design.  Not a well written episodes by modern standards.
