Same, my grandparents are in their early-mid eighties and they only just became great granparents. My last great grandparent passed at 95 and that was a decade ago.

I find it super therapeutic, oddly enough. I can just put on a show or something and zone out for hours while I do my thing.

not gonna lie, it reminds me of a scene of a mission impossible movie (forgot which one) where simon pegg was playing halo 5 during his work.

Show a RGB keyboard to a caveman and he'd probably shit his pants

Reply to comment by Lawlzstomp in Got my first Alice layout! Throwing some creams in, but am having trouble finding key caps! Pleasantly surprised with the Feker Alice 80. Great stock stabs, just needs lube! Any recommend mods for this one?? by mitchieums
Most keycap sets with extra Shifts will also work in a pinch; otherwise, Novelkeys PBT and NicePBT sets have Alice/arisu spacebars included.

I honestly wonder if these cap pullers can double as a whisk sometimes, I still need to grab one regardless

Reply to comment by red_roses- in The “GOAT’s” are gone. by CynderPC
I would highly suggest watching this video if you plan to buy one. It's an exhaustive review of the GMMK Pro with a bunch of tips on modding to try and add some flex to the plate and PCB. In my opinion though, modding it for flex is not worth the effort. It's not enough to make a meaningful difference and stiff kits aren't inherently bad anyway. That's purely preference, and the GMMK Pro is a perfectly fine kit so long as you replace the shitty GOAT stabs with something better like Durock V2s. If it comes with their newer GSV2 stabs then those might be fine too.
More importantly though...just get a Keychron Q1. The Q1 doesn't do anything fancy or new either, but I've used both kits and held them in my hands and the Q1 just looked and felt better in every respect. So if you like the black, silver or blue colors Keychron offers, then get the Q1. The GMMK Pro used to be competitive, but that's not really the case any longer. The Q1 is in the same price bracket and is pretty much an identical layout if you get the knob version.
If you specifically want a bouncy gasket mount kit, then consider the Tiger Lite from KBDfans. It might be a plastic kit, but it's a proper gasket mount kit with tons of bounce, and it has some cool case color options to choose from. I think they just restocked all the colors too.

I got my XVX Skyline Denim recently as well. Same colorway but not shine through. I don't do any backlighting and the contrast on the double shot looks really nice. One of the reason I don't care for shine through is that without the lighting the contrast tends to be pretty bad. Seems the PBT they used maybe doesn't work the best for shine through leading to dim and not full coverage on the legends.
I also don't actually have a board to put these on yet but I do plan on building something with low profile MX switches like Choc V2 or something where these should work well. Although they are a "low profile" keycap, they're not any lower on standard MX switches than my Devlin Q series. But that means they should be slightly lower than DSA and most other MX keycaps.
Being that these keycaps were not made specifically for the Nuphy, it's expected that the FN legends wouldn't be there. Those are keyboard dependent so they'd have to make different legends for every possible keyboard out there.

My last two trips to the Philippines I took a direct flight from jfk to manila, which takes around 18 hours. I can't even imagine trying to lube and film switches on a flight that long, I'd probably go insane.

Jesus, dude. Maybe just acknowledge that you were wrong? This whole moving the goalposts with regard to NK supposedly being the villain thing is not saving you any face, it's just making you look worse. You were in the wrong, made an accusatory post that was inaccurate, then got stunted when they showed up with the receipts. We all make mistakes, but you're making it so much worse by making up new excuses why they're supposedly the bad guys here. You got your refund, even though it wasn't warranted. Let it go.
