Things that make us go... hmmm šŸ¤”

Totally agree. I love this place. You guys are some of the most creative people Iā€™ve ever ā€œmetā€.

I really dislike Reddit, itā€™s a thriving space for misinformation, disinformation and for teenagers to have unnuanced and heated fights with adults, I often found myself like this after opening posts and reading comments.

I still use it occasionally for hobbies (not mechanical keyboards), but I avoid everything else.

I suppose you should take it as a compliment in a sense, since they thought your photo was good enough to steal. But yeah, that kind of thing would really bother me. There are so many people reposting other peopleā€™s photos and claiming them as their own.

Nice :ok_hand:
Tho they fit under the second layer when the sleeve is on halfway. Not sure if it works on the new new GMK trays. :thinking:

Really hoping this means Paypal sucks

I really hope that was self-aware.

It does work, sort of - not with that many though. Works fine for another set or two I have. The keys kinda fall out if you store them sideways, though, once you take the shrink wrap off.

Panghu Giants. Just when I think I know what theyā€™re going for, they become something completely different. :stuck_out_tongue:

v5 ones seem like theyā€™d be similar to Jadeites (umwipe and nylon), while v6 ones seem like theyā€™d have more in common with Carrots (hpe and pom) - and those are about as different a pair of linears as Tecsee makes. I get the sense that following the whole line could be its own little podcast spinoff or something, maybe a coffee-table book.

Idly browsing eBay for HHKBs since Iā€™ve become one with the cup rubber. There are several Snow HHKBs on there but I think this one may be priced just a little high.

Overpriced sellers are not uncommon on AliExpress, also those are the old version with the yellowing Boba housing.

If youā€™re looking for Gazzew switches on AE, the MKzealots Store is an official seller of Gazzew switches on AE and will have up to date switches from Gazzew, one of my favorite vendors.

I found this odd today and said ā€œhmmā€ to myself. I was checking the vendor updates for GMK sets. Checked omnitype, checked Novelkeys, checked Cannonkeys. I could only find like 2 sets in productionā€¦ what the heck?

Then I checked ProjectKeyboard

The following GMK sets are ALL listed as in production:
Sumi
Stealth
Retrowave
Modern Ink
Slasher
Bingsu 2
Astral Light

Hmmmā€¦

So, for ProjectKeyboard, I guess the ā€œin productionā€

Yeah, my Model M hotswap, poycarbonate, QMK board with RGBW underglow and Stainless steel hardware is also ā€œin production.ā€ Seeā€¦ I started work on it by listing it randomly on a websiteā€¦ so the product has started to take shape!

I still wish there was some way to see what GMK sets were actually being manufactured. :frowning:

Prevents hordes of people from constantly sending emails asking for updates I guess.

Also:

Model M hotswap, poycarbonate, QMK board with RGBW underglow and Stainless steel hardware

This product soundsā€¦ ridiculously good, which makes me wonder now, how anyone didnā€™t try that before?

Yeah, they are conveniently missing an ā€œin queue for productionā€ progress bar segment, lol. It would be nice if GMK had a status overview of all public projects in the process of production.

The time and material it costs to bring this to market could have went to just making straighter wires. Capitalism is so confusing sometimes.
