I’m very interested in your take on those Snow Crash switches.

I’ll let you know what I think when I get them for sure. I’ve been eyeing them up since they were announced, the rd 1 snafu & not having the extra loot made me wait till now to get them lol. I’m hoping to use them or the BSUN waves on my FLX Virgo when I get it next week so I’ll be trying them out as soon as I get them!

I’ve got a set of HMX FJ400s coming in the mail today. Interesting for me, its my first linear switch.

Nice, let us know how you like them!
Ordered a Keychron Q1 HE to jump on the magnetic switch bandwagon. Supposedly the Glorious HE switches will work with it.
I’m going to be an absolute monster, however, and use tactiles in it. The real challenge is going to be getting the feedback synced with the activation point.
(Yes, I realize this is very silly and it’d make much more sense to use a cheaper mech based board but I’ve already got a bunch of those.)

Hmm. Good point. Why have more keyboards than desktop (use case) computers at all?
Whelp, shut it down. Hobby done! 
I haven’t been personally interested in HE because they only seem to really make sense in the linear format, although an HE with a solenoid…

So that’s a wad of cashola burned

Really debating between the Brutal v2 65% or the Ellipse.
@Halfling_Barista, do you still have an Ellipse? Any thoughts on it?

I thought long & hard about grabbing an Equinox too TBH. I passed though, I’ve burnt up way too much cash on keebs stuff the last few weeks. Almost like I was making up for the lost time I was laid off & had to keep myself from buying anything keeb related…

That is a rough choice as both look like great boards. Personally I’d go with V2 65% since it’s the better deal, but honestly I don’t think you can go wrong either way. They both look to be & I’ve heard they are both great boards!

Guess it’s the seaon of ergo TKLs for me. Came across someone selling a LZ Ghost in great shape for $250 + shipping. Went back & forth on it cause I just bought that FLX Virgo which has the same layout. Although I ended up pulling the trigger cause I dont have a LZ board in my collection & they dont seem to be to active with designing anymore. Also it was priced really good.

Where’d you find the LZ Ghost, was it on mechmarket?

Yeah I found it on r/mm & was kinda shocked at how low it was priced. That’s what made me jump on it.
Went vintage lowball shopping/gambling on eBay. Seems somebody in Missouri was into Alps and Alps clones. If that Tai Hao TH-5539-3 is as pristine as it looks, it’ll be worth the (low) price on its own. There’s also a Focus FK-5001 with a cut cord and some missing keycaps, a Focus FK-7000P with a couple of missing caps (cord uncertain), and lastly, what appears to be a Pendar (Clare-Pendar? I dunno… whole thing is weird) terminal keyboard that’s a mess and likely beyond my ability to do anything with, but LOOK at those (remaining) keycaps! Anyway, if nothing else, looks like I’ll be dipping my toes into de-soldering and cleaning Alps compatible switches.

SA X-wing is $75! I didn’t buy it because I need some other things that will be discounted tomorrow at Novelkeys. But I plan to pick up a set tomorrow if it’s still in stock. I already own Tatooine or I would buy that too. Absolute steal of a price. I grew up on Star Wars (Ep 4-6), but I’m not that much of a fanatic. However, both sets have options to mount the caps without reference to the movies and look amazing.

Interesting set. I was looking at it a while before I realized that the alphas were a mix of different colors.

BF/CM are gonna be the death of my finances… 
Managed to grab just some things I actually need from DK’s BF sale, I did have my cart filled up but decided against grabbing KKB Retro Mixed Lights & the switches I had in it. I’m planning on grabbing GMK Phantom from NK’s BF sale tomorrow if I’m fast enough & I really need to start using the switches I already got instead of grabbing more every time I get a new board. So I actually let my better judgment prevail for once!
