Above comments are a text-book example of “voting with the wallet.” Well done!
yup. that’s the upper crust trying to contain the magma layer (aka buy buy buy) deep below.
If it was a TKL layout like the Sandglass ergo, I’d probably buy it.
Alas can’t be productive with a 60%, I lack the skills
Was able to snag a linen coated Corsa. Same price shipped from Matrixlab as they were from Novelkeys. Nice.
Trying out my first blank set…
Nah. I’m not mentally prepared to remember the number row. Too much at stake…
Also, because I am a huge Mode simp, I just pre-ordered the Tempo.
I wasn’t super happy about it being HHKB style, but I am almost tempted to give the layout a shot again because of the Tempo.
I am thinking silver with the rose accent bar would look really good with GMK Moomin…
EDIT: Auto-correct doesn’t like “Moomin”
Ordered some WS Morandi switches from Milktooth ($3.75 for 10). Heard good things about the switch before but just haven’t got around to being curious about it until now.
Shark!
I guess I collect “entry” boards. I like the idea of a “sweet spot” between aesthetics, material quality, and cost - and when I see something that I feel like falls into it, I want to see if it really does. I really appreciate a true bespoke custom, but they are a bit too precious for my lifestyle - so that middle range between budget and bespoke is where I like to hang out.
I don’t approve of the vendor, but I like the board
I’m definitely thinking about it. I just have so many HHKB layout keyboards now. While I understand that people have become accustomed to 60’s having interchangeable tops, I appreciate the intentional design.
Looking at Cream w/Walnut accent.
Kyoot
That number is far beyond the pathological level…
I’m honestly surprised there are nearly 2500 unique switches, not just in your collection, but in existence at all.
How do you keep the physical switches organized? Similar method to @ThereminGoat where you have large acrylic key tester boards?
Yep, i mainly use the kelowna 104 count holdsr3s though instead of Goat’s custom cut holders
Ordered some BSUN X switches from Unikeyboards to add LY stem and POK housing to switch modding warchest.
Ordered “Leek Brother” Hebrew keyset shown in Blacksimon’s recent video (I think he may have an account on KeebTalk but don’t have his handle) as being excellent in value. Didn’t see the gray variant seen in the video (gray became my favorite sublegend color after getting XMI Space Cadet set) among available options (link is in the video description) so went with purple legend. Price is reasonable ($20-something) even with the middleman (Superbuy).
PS: Superbuy website design is terrible but I managed to get through the labyrinth.
