Thoughts on my first mod:

I have lube but didn’t apply any. Not sure if I really need to or not.

Only managed to mess up one of the switches, miraculously (bent one of the metal pins too much).

Learned how much it can really strain your wrists to pull out 60 switches.

Keycaps are a little glossier and shorter than the stock ones that came with C2 but not bad.

most are disappointed as its stuff they have too many of or low selling stuff like marvel MT3 profile sets . i personally avoid them as i have yet to see a box that was worth the price tag in actual value. i mean over the past month they have sold all the marvel sets for 35 bucks so either they get these made so cheap they can sell them on sale this cheap or they r so unpopualr they are selling them at a massive loss , id bet on the latter

What a weird comment.

> See this is the overly feminine way of thinking that ruins normal things for mankind.

How is their way of thinking "overly feminine"? Why ascribe gender to a non-gendered thought pattern? And to insinuate that things being feminized ruins things makes it sound like you have some bias against women.

>No, there is standard way of touch typing on a QWERTY style layout; it is the same worldwide

Also you know there are non-QWERTY layouts people use for typing.

> People need to stop being lazy and learn proper touch-typing.

Why do you care how anyone other than you types? Is it ruining your life if some people hunt and peck?

Some people are physically incapable of touch typing due to nerve damage, or other mitigating factors that you don't seem to care to understand, or even consider a factor.

We are a niche hobby. We should strive to be an inclusive space where people are free to do what they want, and encourage those that want to join us to do so. Not gatekeep based on WPM, or how perfect some ones typing mechanics are.

I have no alice boards, but I'm sure the original designer created a product that suited their needs and others have adapted it to suit their own. I would encourage you to do the same rather than yelling into the void that is the internet.
