Came for this!

As a Swede, there's a lot of developers at work that actually use iso keyboards but with US keyboard layout because it's less cumbersome to type brackets and curly brackets and so on, but I tried buying one ANSI keyboard once just because they look nice and wow.. couldn't really get it to work nicely with Swedish for some reason. Sticking with ISO. :D

yeah could be. I like them because they’re quiet, which is kind of a priority for this one. I just got some oil kings so might try them out with it.

utopia camera shots or something

Entity 4040.

Entity 4040 is a presumably inanimate object. It appears to be a keyboard, most of the time mechanical, with RGB

Interaction with the entity is heavily discouraged, as some wanderers who happened to touch it and even connect it to one of their devices reportedly began following a cult with two gods they refer to as "Clack" and "Thock". This has been labelled by the M. E. G. as the "4040 cult following" which is consistently growing due to the large amount of wanderers unbeknowingly coming in contact with the entity

Additionally, the keyboard may be rigged with something "4040 cult" followers have called "blue switches" which have been deemed "perfect for typing at a library". Despite this claim, activating the keyboard's keys is not recommended, as the noise from these "blue switches" happens to be loud enough and may attract nearby entities, sometimes also causing hearing loss to the unsuspecting wanderer

Incident 23852

One severe case involved of "4040 cult following" involved a wanderer attacking another wanderer in front of an M. E. G member, breaking their ribs by repeatedly hitting them in the back, then screaming "where's the thock?!". The attacking wanderer then proceeded to scratch the skin off the victim's back and stab it with a brush coated with some slicky substance the cult follower referred to as "Krytox 205g0" because "his back was too scratchy" and did not have enough "thock". After this act was finished, the attacker produced a sheet of foam from their pockets and proceeded to line the wound with it, exclaiming that "there is too much twang from the noise spreading from the plate to the PCB" and after the lining was finished, once again beat up the now presumably dead victim once again and screamed "Finally! Thock" and ran off to never be found or heard of again.

Entity 4040A and 4040B controversy

Some M. E. G members have repported seeing, often at a distance and in conditions where it seemed more like a hallucination, an entity with a brush and a keyboard in hand, much resembling an Insanity or Skin Stealer due to the humanoid but dismembered and threatening look. (4040A) Others have seen similar monsters with stabbing wounds and pieces of foam, as well as other technology or materials, including household tape, sticking out of their backs. (4040B) Interaction with the former has never been established nor attempted, but is presumably dangerous and the mechanicsm through which other entities are turned into 4040B could be entity 4040A's attack. A singular interaction with 4040B has been established, but bizarrely enough, the entity did not do anything but produce strange clicky sounds.

Despite this evidence, 4040A and 4040B are not unanimously considered entities, since they are, by some, presumed to be mangled and injured versions of other entities, and the fact that they appear systematically may simply be a result of "cult 4040" being a systematic and systemic ocurrence that stems from wanderers being unwary of what looks to be an innocent looking keyboard.

Do's

- Discourage other wanderers from touching or inspecting the entity.

- Report all sightings of entity 4040 to M. E. G agents.

Don't's

- Touch the entity, more specifically, press on any of the keys.

- Use the words "clack" or "thock" with other wanderers, as this may provoke dangerous interest towards "cult 4040"

Haha thanks!

Strangely they don't have a name but here's where I found them. They were sent to me from UK so took a few days.

Love these boards. I’ve been looking at a q9 and now I realise I can’t do without a backspace key top right. That’s ISO looks great though.

And those keycaps on the RK look really nice - spacebar aside - where did you pick them up?

Need banana for size reference

Tragically they don't have a name. I found them on Amazon Germany under the catchy heading "UK Keycaps 172 Keys Double Shot SA Profile Layout 6.25u/7 uISO/ANSI Layout Suitable for Mechanical Keyboard Keycap GH60 GK64 RK61". The cardboard box they come in is labelled "UK 172 Dark Blue Brown Keycaps". They are nice, though! It appears they shipped from Wales.

finally, someone who puts the option key to the left of command.

Debuting my personal endgame, Clavert - vertical wireless split keyboard. Given how high I'm tenting my previous builds I thought it only make sense to make a naturally vertical board. Besides I wanted to play with ZMK for quite a while now.

It seems that all the cool kids are doing PCBs right now but I don't know how to design one, so this is a hand wired build. You can find the files and some details in the repo here.

what are the Q9's keycaps?

Oh my god these Keycaps looks sick, do i ever going to make a built with it idk, did i brought them just now, YES 😅.

Your built looks amazing 😍

As per their post:

" The whole system is secured by two fasteners that prevent the internal assembly from moving upwards but have no impact on downwards movement. "

Turns out they messed up and the Founders boards people received are NOT smokey, but the "normal" polycarbonate case; I think even the PCB was not a final product yet since it has only one row of underglow LEDs instead of the two that should have been present.

Available at Mechbox here if anyone is after one :) https://mechbox.co.uk/collections/valentines-day-cards

lmao so bizarre I love it

Gonna show this to my fiancé the next time she asks me “where are your priorities??”

What keycaps? I love them

Dude just casually found a 40% mechanical keyboard in the backrooms

If you're really struggling with it, then there's a UK person here who would love it ;)
