Off Topic / Re: What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)
« Last post by tp4tissue on Fri, 13 June 2025, 17:07:46 »Just watched a documentary about how Attitude towards Marriage in Asia is so dysfunctional, universities have opened "Classes", Teaching marriage.
Leave it to Asian people to involve god damn taking Examinations for marriage.
Tp4 wore a greatly superior/ derisively smug facial expression, until he realized, he's watching this crap by himself a-facing every damn State of the Art #ForeverAlone gadget known to man.
There is no ho'pe for the Tp4 netizens, Run away from the RTX/XTX culture. You have been warned.

Ergonomics / Re: Cherry mx red feels heavy
« Last post by phinix on Fri, 13 June 2025, 17:03:10 »Yeah, I can't stand reds either. My linears are Oil Kings with swapped 85g spring, or at least 68g 22mm long ones for firm bottom out.

Keyboards / Re: Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid
« Last post by phinix on Fri, 13 June 2025, 16:59:26 »My Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid (first edition) started to go weird - the top case/cover rubber coating feels weird, turns on my OCD and think I need to sand it down or something.
Did anyone modded their QFR? I remember like 10-15 years ago we were trying to get extra top cases to mod it, I think there was black version that did not have that rubber coating.
If I sand it down, can I powder coat plastic frame?
I do remember those additional tops, but I haven't seen them in ages. I don't know about powder coating. You can sand off the rubber coating and spray paint it. If you do go down that path, make sure you sand carefully and in steps (low to high grit). I found that any imperfections in the sanding will usually show up through the spray paint. Get it as smooth as possible before paint, and prepare for 2-4 very light coats of spray with wet sanding if you get debris in between coats. Probably best to finish with a sealing coat as well, although I didn't do that.
You can also spend a lot to have someone sand and hydro dip it for you. But you probably aren't looking to spend that much. Only crazy people like me would think of such a thing.
how expensive is it?

« Last post by EdgeOfInfinity on Fri, 13 June 2025, 13:51:30 »price seems a tad high, but i too would be interested in an aluminum HHKB case with a nice aesthetic. is it possible to get more pics of the black/gray unit? looks great in some, but the contrast makes it hard to see the gray color accurately.
