Interest Checks / Re: [IC] The Bullet Train - a Low Profile Wireless V4N4G0N layout board

This is really cool!

I'm curious if that PCB could possibly work with regular MX switches and 3d-printed V4N4G0N cases to get a wireless board up and going?
Oop I didn't read well enough, I'd love to see a ZMK V4N PCB with conventional MX support tho, filled out feedback on the form. I'd also use a wired one for playing games as well.

I think a version of this with a typing angle and a would be a perfect board to be playing games with and I've been entertaining the idea quite a bit these past few weeks.
I've been tempted to use V4N to play games but need to get around to getting a PCB and 3D printed case made.

you mean vam05 pcb? that's a zmk mx v4n pcb by GGBond lol

And holy crap does this keyboard use an insane number of chips.

I received my A83 yesterday. Keys feel different and amazingly smooth. The backlit is only around the keys. The fonts are not illuminated.

For a real review, check this kid video
Good thing he found the software for it https://www.aescolife.com/aHub

With all the great packaging, there is no manual/instructions to change settings of the fly.

Back to the insane amount of chips. The software to customize the keyboard is 300Mb. That is scary kind of crazy. I'm a paranoiac conspiratinist. As far as I know, this keyboard could be doing a lot more than just keyboarding. (keylogger or worse) I hope not. So I just ran an ChatGPT assessment based on the extend USB information produced by USBTreeView: Summary of the results

🚫 What You Don't Have (Good Signs)

You do NOT have:

❌ Mass Storage Interface
❌ USB Network / RNDIS / CDC ECM
❌ Audio Interface
❌ Vendor-Specific mystery interface
❌ DFU flashing interface always active
❌ Webcams or imaging device classes
❌ ACM Serial port that could act as command channel

Those are exactly the vectors attackers use to hide exfiltration.
None are present.

🛡 Risk Assessment

Based on USB descriptors alone, this device:

Almost certainly is NOT a hardware keylogger or spyware keyboard.

Gaming keyboards with macro/RGB features often show:

multiple HID interfaces

large HID report descriptors

weird naming or reused VID/PID

bloated Windows config apps

It's all consistent with a cheap Chinese ODM gaming board.

Consistent with cheap Chinese ODM gaming board.  :))


But but... It was not cheap and it doesn't feel cheap.

Keyboards / Re: Would Topre RealForce keys soften at all in 18 months?

As said they will get a bit stiffer. I don't have any scientific data and can't find anyone who measured them after x amount of years.
I don't use mines anymore, they are stored in their original box without their plastic wraps. It makes sense that the "rubber" dries and starts to lose some elasticity over time.

But I don't think the increased stiffness is noticeable. My oldest is probably 15+ years old and still feel like I remembered.
I'm used to heavy switches. I prefer the 55g over the 45g. I tend to bottom out each keys when I type. I guess I'm less sensitive to the fine tactility of those who float on the keys instead of walking at the bottom. :-)

Side note, I'm recovering from a motorcycle accident a month ago. I have two broken fingers that keep reminding me I should reconsider my bad typing technique.

Cool to see people discussing keyboard group buys and how to handle payment transparently. When I ran a small group‑buy project, I realized early on that manually tracking payments via PayPal + bank transfers becomes a nightmare.

Reviews / Greetech OG Brown Switch Review
« Last post by ThereminGoat on Sun, 07 December 2025, 08:24:55 »

Hey all,

If ever there was some sign we slipped into an alternate timeline sometime during the pandemic, it might be the fact that Greetech is now releasing multiple switches and seemingly wanting to pick up production at that. Leading the charge is their new "OG" Brown switches, retools and updates of their classic, OEM-style light tactile switch from circa 2015. But are these Greetech OG Brown switches truly the new, best light tactile on the scene, or yet another "tactile Brown" switch to be forgotten in time?

As always, thank you all for the continued love, support, and readership week in and out. As per the top of the article, please consider checking out some of those alternative, non-writing resources of mine as I continue to upload new cool switches I get in in the coming weeks and months!

Cheers,
