Reply to comment by CableMod_Mark in Thanks to CableMod for sending me a free cable! by MyNanRipCones
Does CableMod make 90 degree angled USB C cables? I got a Keychron K4 for Christmas that needs a longer, nicer cable.

CableMod really does get their moneys worth out of these giveaways, the advertising this sub does for them is crazy

Must be nice they over here making 90 dollar minimum orders, fucking sucks when you forget that one cable and they don't give a shit

Got one too! Did you get the solenoid too? I love how it sounds with the solenoid in a hollow plastic case :)

I know you know, I was answering to the other guys on the thread :)
Do check out the options I sent you. There are sets, even GMK, for under $100. Not cheap but at least saving money to buy one is within the realm of feasibility even for a student.

Row stagger does not make sense because it was not designed to make sense. It is a remnant of the typewriter technical reasons where there had to be levers going north from each key, so the rows were staggered so that the levers would not intersect in space.
I jumped to column-staggered boards the moment they became available, have proper keyboards both at home and the office, and regard the laptop keyboard only as a failsafe device.

I hate all candy that sticks your teeth together, but I really like this set, and I wish you luck with the IC. It's a shame your IC will turn into a sounding board for GMK wait time complaints, but that's where we are at the moment I suppose.

Do you think it would be possible to use another pcb like the MKB87?

Yooo that box art gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had. Never remembered it but memory unlocked as soon as I saw it.

There's no one way to type. Whichever you chose though, it quickly becomes to feel natural. I learned the "correct" way, and it feels completely normal and natural to me now, and my fingers just go where they are supposed to go without even thinking about it. If you want to learn the way you describe, then go for it. You can always fine tune things as you go along.
While it seems to make more sense to type the way you suggest in your diagram, there will be situations where it is worse. Words starting with, or containing WA for example would then be more difficult compared to the correct way. With QWERTY, whenever you think you've found a way to cheat the system, you usually pay for it somewhere else. It's tempting to learn Dvorak or another layout, but for me, the ability to type well on everyone else's keyboard outweighed the more efficient layout.
Learn how you feel comfortable though. At the end of the day, if you end up being able to type accurately without looking at the board, then that's all that matters.

Thank you! I've missed discounted marvel keycaps constantly, finally got my order in. Also for new users, the $10 discount they offer won't work unless you add another item to the cart. I added the already discounted Holy Panda X's (pack of 35) so you can try them out for $10.

Already ordered. It also includes normal keys for esc, capslock, and shift, so it's really just a dark/light purple MT3 set for $35 that includes a few marvel themed novelties as freebies. Seems worth it.
