I was wondering if -40C to +180C was a JEDEC thermal cycle test condition but surprisingly the max is +150C. So Cherry actually tests their switches at a more extreme temp than even a commercial electronics manufacturer.

Specializing in subjects is how humans have conquered the planet. As we continue to evolve and require less competition to survive, we have to actively control our impulses. Self-control is a critical life skill for mental health.

It's absolutely okay to enjoy something like mechanical keyboards, but it's not okay to have it interrupt the rest of your life. When people say they are obsessed, I like to rephrase it (when applicable) as chronically obsessed when it is negatively impacting their other priorities in life.

I'm like that with sports stats. My wife is baffled by how I can remember who won the Heisman at a particular year, how many yards a QB threw back 20 years ago, or how many saves a pitcher has but I can't remember the name of my own friends that I haven't seen in a while.
