Iqunix OG80 Darkside. I'm using Durock switches and stabilizers without any issues.

You didnt lose much when it comes to this keyboard though. I think it uses keytronic foam and foil which arent all that nice.

What’s the board? I’ve been interested in the profile but worry about compatibility with cherry-style stabilizers

You should get up off your ass and get to work on that Alice 2.0 design you keep talking about then. Lazy fucks that just talk shit, insult others, and do nothing about the issues that THEY are complaining about are the absolute worst!

HAHAHHA I was actually looking for a way to throw that “feminine thinking” line back at them too. Yours is much better though, I couldn’t think of anything that isn’t detrimental to women which isn’t my intention.

My first keyboard was a Keychron K1. Coming from using only magic keyboards, that was a really good segue into mechanical keyboards because the keys weren't too high (since I prefer low-profile keys).
Then I saw this and just fell in love with how it looked and sounded. Can't be happier!
edit: go -> good

Yeah, this was one of my dream boards. Still waiting on the Alpacas so I can finish the build

Reply to Drop mystery box experiences by beakersoft360
I got Skiidata as my MT3 set, so that was nice and just about worth the price alone. My other set was the grey on black that's default for all Drop boards. I have an Alt, Shift, and Ctrl, it's random but was still disappointing as I literally have three sets already I don't use. Box whites for the switches, I like them, but already had a bunch from my Ctrl board (swapped to Box Pink). The deskmat is a nice size, but it's Marvel.
​
I'll likely not get another mystery box. I'd rather just get MT3 bogo sets or wait for another deal on a GMK set like Laser that I got Black Friday for $49.

Looks like the sort of thing you could ask to keep. Not like it can be used as is.

I think it's actually very well thought out. Look at a non-Alice layout keyboard with your hands resting in the "home" position and you'll notice:
- The number '6' is closer to the left-hand side (from the F key in home position)
- The letter 'B' is dead center between the home position keys for your index fingers (the F & J keys)
"Standard touch-typing technique" isn't doctrine and the best touch typing is efficient and feels comfortable for you and your hands. I type 'B' with my right hand and it literally makes no difference as far as reach for either index finger.
The main point of the Alice layout, though, isn't faster/more efficient typing. It's for improved ergonomics on your wrists and hands. Hence the bottom row's keys are more comfortably sized and laid out for your thumbs being in a more naturally turned position.
