I did some keyset swapperinos
My new Topre on a new deskmat from DYSK:
Also found this cool thermal cup, some kind of Mi fans limited edition item:
Today, begins the month long learning to use a full southpaw numpad. I’m not happy with the stabs and switches so those will need to tune and optimizes
Monokei x Thesiscamper - Hidari with LoTR Darvish MT3
My endgame for the short future, finally after a long research and experimenting I’ve found the setup I’m comfortable with.
KBD67 Lite R2
EV-01 Switches, currently dry.
ePBT 9009 keycaps.
So clean it looks like a render.
Yeah man I LOVE these ePBT caps, so nice feeling they almost feel like ceramic or porcelain or something. The sound is on point too, especially if you have long pole switches (imo). Legends are crisp AF. No complaints about them.
Whats the top set?
GMK Nautilus
Yep, a clone set. Not bad for 40 bucks though.
GMK Yuri R2 turned up kinda unexpectedly the other day, this is the best thing (only good thing) about the group buy model, you forget you ordered stuff and then it turns up out of the blue.
It doesn’t quite work with the colour of the grey/blue Ciel, needs a more neutral board colour, and so the cycle continues.
I have been using my Hidari for a few weeks now and love it. I am loving the arrow keys on the left, but haven’t done much with the numpad yet.
I forced myself to use a left numpad for a month so the transition hasnt been too bad. Just training my left hand to home to arrow.
Mojo68 “Plastic” - Table photo from last night because my desk is messy. 
Here’s a recording of the keeb in my noisy work environment - switches are Gateron Pro Browns and the setup is completely stock:
A quick note about MDA profile; I love the look, I love the feel, I love the sound - but I do find it difficult to type quickly and accurately on them, at least while I’m used to Cherry-like profiles. Both my speed and accuracy are significantly less while using it; though if I sacrifice a little more speed for some care, I do get the accuracy back. Mostly.
Still one of my favorite profiles for the look and feel alone. It’s pretty unique in the sea of Cherry and SA-likes.
What PCB is that? It’s really cool. One of the coolest looking Ciels I’ve seen.
That’s called “Lumberjack” and it’s one of peejeh’s own designs.
- Massdrop CTRL
- Hi-pro case in “Bronze”
- StupidFish foam
- Mix of Box Whites & Sherbets
- Probably has stabs
- Cubic Avatar II Green
