What did you get in the mail today? (Part 2)

Got myself some stuff to make my first batch of Ergo Clears.

  • Cherry Mx Ergo Clear ( new ones from Cherry )
  • TX Switch Films 0.15mm
  • TX Springs Long 62g
  • Geon Stem Trimmer ( the only one I found in stock somewhere across the Europe )

Lubing will be done on a different date with Krytox 205g0.

Will go on a Bauer Lite for a while to be then moved into a TKD Cycle 8 once it gets shipped.

Note: Cherry Mx Ergo Clears still use the old stem from Clears thus using a trimmer is advised.

I was just joking around, but yeah it seems like ABS has surpassed PBT in preference in the last few years. Honestly I can go with either material, it really comes down to how it feels & sounds on a particular build to me. Although if I had to choose between the two materials & could only use my material of choice going forward Iā€™d definitely pick ABS.

Got the huge hookup from Resin Party today! Got my Topre Microdose V2 in the Honey cw in today & to my surprise there was an extra box in the package. In that box was a free b-stock Topre spacebar in the same cw! Looking over the spacebar the only thing I can see that would make it b-stock is a couple very small bubbles right at the bottom of the skirt in the front. Nothing youā€™d see when the cap is installed, super cool of them for sure!

DSS Font Awesome

:sunglasses:

Itā€™s hard to tell from the photo, but the colors are quite interesting. Very neutral gray. both mods and alphas are a bit lighter than they appear in this photo.

New Mode Sonnet arrived.

I ordered a bunch of keycaps which arrived last week. Now I canā€™t decide which.

Love the Alexotos edition! Mine is supposed to be here Wednesday. Canā€™t wait!

Nice. What keycaps are you planning to pair yours with?

I was thinking of Captain Sterlingā€™s GMK set thatā€™s yet to be released:


Or his Pumpkin Spice.

Yes the pumpkin spice set might be amazing on it. Iā€™ll have to see what the orange looks like IRL. I could work with standard carbon (Umka mods and Beezar alphas). Maybe monkey, but the base color probably wont go with the stone top.

Maybe Nuke Data?

Or I could swap out the orange accent with the green verdigis and try it with Taiga

Or NK stone PBT?

Excited to see what works best

Itā€™s wild for me to see Font Awesome-themed keycaps. Iā€™ve been using Font Awesome in web design/dev for probably at least 10 years.

Yep. I used it quite a bit on almost every project. I worked in web design for a decade or so as well.

Super tempted to get the Font Awesome sonnet. Still might. Iā€™ll have to see how much I like the Alexostos edition this week.

Didnā€™t realize he was doing the Orange set. Gives me a little hope. Been waiting on that Orange Juice set or whatever it renamed to for forever.

*It was the Monorange set

Is that a Topre HHKB in the top right corner?

2 Likes

What an eagle eye! Not on pourpose but yes, It is! I was just comparing those two and HHKB sneaked in the photo

Ahhh nice lol. I wasnā€™t 100% sure because the legends on the two keys left of the spacebar didnā€™t look right to me but the color, spacing/bezel, and seam between the top and bottom case looked right. Do you have a slightly different HHKB layout or am I just mistaken.

Itā€™s an HHKB Hybrid Type-S

I am using the board with the last row upside down because It feels much more comfortable to me.

OHHHH LOL. Ok that makes soooo much more sense why I couldnt make out the legends. Mystery (in my head) solved.
