Haven't you ever heard of chloroform?

Wow, that's incredible!

Ok, so tell me this: if they have a setup product with a supplier (they do sell keycaps so they must have) what prevents them to leave the injection moulding machines run... forever? If the demand is so high? These machines are capable of insane output for low cost after they are setup. They simply create demand to keep the prices high. This is a different business strategy, similar to business class airline tickets or exclusive fashion clothes. They only need to sell fraction of the quantity for thousands of percent of markup and they can make more money than a mass manufacturer. This whole system if fed by people on social media overpraising pieces of plastic they waited for years.

this is really cool.

Ty ty not a dad but my jokes are.

i got the same switch pullers

Brown switch family is good and all, but you can also consider trying other budget tactile switches with a higher activation point (you feel the bump when you start pressing the key). Akko CS Lavender and Akko V3 Cream Blues are cool alternatives if you want to try something a bit different without breaking the bank.

I had this thought for a long time before I got the macro pad and was ecstatic when it worked. Glad this helped!

Beautiful! Now the real question - Where can I find a Metropolis desk mat?

it's likely just a USB-C to USB-C cable, but that particular board (the Drop ALT) has a USB-C port on BOTH ends of the board, so it makes creative stuff like this possible

Then it’s a mystery why you haven’t yet drained your bank account on a wedding ring for this woman. I don’t know how else you could define a keeper.

No ISO support, get a Monokei Tomo

It's a molang! Specifically a molang from a blindbox.

I've talked to her about wanting to join the 7V R2 GB later way before and argued with her on why the 7Vs so good so shes known for a few months how much I like it! It's worth all the hype for sure.

Decent support? 🤣

SHOULD, but I doubt that the vast majority are even capable of buying Pantone color books and the associated subscriptions for the colors in programs.

I mean, second-hand PBT can easily cost just as much — at that point manufacturer is irrelevant, all that matters is popularity

I didn't mean being able to buy them when they drop. Most people can't get them when they drop and have to rely on resale. Which can go from 200-400$. And you can easily get good clones for 40-60$ on sale. (That is where my 6-10 times is from).

And as I said, if you can afford it, that's totally reasonable. But price and availability/wait time is not easy to deal with for most people.

Sounds intriguing! I do like tactile switches, although I prefer them dampened, or on the quiet side. Have to get some and give them a try!

I've been looking at a dedicated numpad/knob macropad, but I'd mostly use that for number entry, so clicky wouldn't be bad.

Thanks for the idea!

Maybe I’m cynical, but I never believe posts like this to be true, especially given the typical price tags and specificity of the gifts. Either way, sweet board!

What’s that cute thing in the second pic??

It’s over 9000!

Makes me feel bad hopping on the extras and getting them in 2 days

They're a really great tactile -- best I've used. My only complaint (and this may not be an issue for some people) is that they're very loud. But on a macropad, where I'm not usually hitting keys in quick succession like typing on a keyboard, it's not an issue.
