I adore this set, but after ordering and realizing to get the normal 2 with @ I needed to order the extension I was pretty unhappy. Even more unhappy to find the alt alphas have no way of getting a normal 2 with @.

I share your exact sentiment about the 2 key! It was a borderline dealbreaker for me, but I came to a concession when the 2 was added to the extension kit.

PS: I'm hoping there's another miracle that give us a standard 2 for the alt alphas!

I've always been on the lookout for a set of Chinese keycaps. A lot of people like having Japanese Hiragana on their keys, but I've always been surprised that Chinese keys are rarely glimpsed. This is a set of PBT Cherry profile (and Cherry height) caps that I finally managed to get hold of recently. Sadly only available in ANSI, though I did manage to dip into my massive box of spare caps to find a few keys that will suffice until I find more suitable replacements. The colour disparities are a lot less noticeable in person.

Love the vintage IBM look — definitely a timeless aesthetic. If you’re refurbishing those old Alps boards, make sure to carefully clean and lube switches; a little TLC goes a long way for feel and sound. Stabilizers also benefit from clip and lube before mounting. Folks often overlook plate mounting vs tray when tuning acoustics, so experiment there too. And if you need to try different Linux distros or tools during testing or firmware flashing, install download has a nice selection of ISO images that’s easy to browse — saves time when you’re juggling multiple environments.

Korean BBQ for Christmas dinner, where they have a grill in the middle of the table and bring you endless meat and sides.
I have not been this full of meat since that childhood Christmas dad came into my room drunk...
