Making Stuff Together! / Re: FilterKeys Setter... for a faster key repeat (in Windows)

People interested in handmade art often gravitate toward handmade glass art paperweights because they represent true craftsmanship. Each piece is shaped by hand, which means no two are exactly alike. This individuality helps newcomers understand why handmade glass is valued differently from factory-produced items.

I feel like as I grow older, I have less tolerance for the hot and spicy food I've loved so much in the past.
It's like my stomach just can't take it anymore. Hiccups almost every time I go even just habanero or hotter.
Forget about Reapers and Scorpions  >:D
Heat still tastes good and I crave it, but my aging body rejects it  :'(

i sure have a huge problem with the neo and qwertykeys boards. they use proprietary firmware and an obfuscated chip (they removed the markings and replace them with their branding) so you can't just program your own firmware.
i for one, like to maintain my keymaps as plaintext, so i can version it using git. also i want to be able to flash my keyboard without using a mouse, so i want to be forced to use via(l)!

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK+122+62 Reproduction Project! Round 1 now shipping

Production update:

The factory has completed the 100 or so B104's they noted last month.  Now they are working on completing the remaining B104's and other models.  It is going to take more time but they are aware of the high quality requirements and have been inspecting each keyboard for cosmetic defects, and discarding or repairing cases that do not meet the requirements.

While the laser/bending process to make the cases saves a huge amount of cost instead of making an injection mold (only some custom tooling is needed, as seen in the video posted some time ago), it is a far slower process than die casting as all the parts of the case need to be bent and welded together one at a time.  There is always a tradeoff between time and cost, if we keep quality as a constant.  These boards are already expensive so adding extra cost would reduce the number of folks who would be able to get one of these great old style boards.
