I got some oil for springs (and other stuff)

I know it's cheap, but that's a lot of Victorinox oil

I have a sizable knife collection, and it the best thing I've found for them.

Happens to work for keyboards too.

Yes, it's what WFD recommends for springs. I thought you bought three bottles only for keyboards lol

Shoutouts to my boy Tipo33 for sending me this CMOY to try out. I'm super stoked. I'll be writing a review on this later so please check it out when I put it up

I know this was on the previous page, but nice CMOY. What opamp did you use? I built a few of these and have tons of leftover opamps I wanted to try out but haven't had to time to test them all. It looks like PCB supports rechargeable circuitry, but you're just using non-rechargable batteries?

You'll have to get Tipo33 to answer all these questions. I honestly don't know. I think Tipo just sent me the battery because that's what he had but it seems to be rechargeable since there is a plugin on the side. What are opamps?

lol it's that black chip that looks like a spider, the main piece that the CMOY is built around. It's the actual amp, hence the name opAMP. There are many different types of opamps you can plug in there, and each one will change the color of the sound. All the other components more or less just convert or clean signals. It looks like that tiny switch below the opamp is the bass boost.

The Great Lakes meetup convinced me to make some purchases. I got a blank keycap set from Unicomp and 2 RGB sets, giving them some revenue while we wait for BS Red Alert. I also got some of the pewter caps from i3oilermaker.

The opamp is a Texas Instruments OPA2227, but it fits into a PGA, so it is swappable. The little switch is indeed a bass boost. As far as the battery, I got one to try it out when I recieved it, and never needed to swap. I have only had to change the battery once since I got it, It doesn't really need that much current.

My first custom key

I didn't get it today but sometime last week. A little shine on the spacebar but overall very good.

Mionix Sargas 900. I had the large Razer one, but it started screwing up my mouse (or so I thought) so I went with this one. My little way of boycotting gimmicky Razer.

Also went back to my Xai, because of issues with the Sensei and I think the Xai is just a better mouse. And finally

It didn't actually come in the mail, but a came home with me from my holiday as a belated Birthday present, Minecraft Steve!

Pertaining to the Ducky skulls, do they interfere with adjacent keys? They seem to be quite a fair bit larger than even GirlDC caps.

Nope, they do not. If you can see from the Ancient picture, they fit perfectly in between adjacent keycaps. They are definitely taller and longer than standard keycaps and even the case but they are designed to sit above the case even when fully depressed so there's no need to worry about scratching of adjacent keycaps or the case.

I didn't like the design on these much at first, but honestly, the full skull (purple LED) one looks nice. Gaudy, but nice with a little more detail.

You're right, its not a fashion show, but that's what companies especially Nike are making it out to be with the bright flashy colors on their newer shoe models

I wish more womens sneakers retained the neutral, regular colors that most mens sneakers have.
