Reply to Has anyone ever ACTUALLY reached their endgame? [Serious] by Koduy2

I just recently got my endgame keyboard. The weight, features, feel and sound are what I was looking for. However, in a design perspective, there's just so many new releases that just catch my eye and I pursue those for an even more distinct sound/feel/aesthetic to the ones I already have.

Reply to Has anyone ever ACTUALLY reached their endgame? [Serious] by Koduy2

I have reached my endgame in 2023, was trying to find it since 2018. Mode Sonnet and Mammoth75, both with Durock T1. After (too) many boards I have found that these are the two form factors which work for me the best, the switch tactility I prefer for long coding sessions, and the sound I like without driving me insane.

I am subbed here because I like looking at boards with interesting designs, but I won't be buying anything else in the foreseeable future because a. no space, b. no money, and c. I've found the boards which work best for me.

Looks really nice! Our cable routed like that reminds me of the old telephone cords and it's actually very fitting with the colored keycaps which kinda give off a retro vibe. :D

Depends on the game you’re playing I guess.

If your game is “perfect keeb”, you may reach it at some point.

If your game is curiosity, there is no endgame.

But curiosity mostly seeks something new and not a variation of the same. I don’t see much of a point in having several 65s, but having different sizes and styles is still something interesting to me. I can see myself dipping a toe in the 40s and 70s in favour of 65 for example.

I don’t think I ever reach something like an endgame, but as long I have fun being curious, I guess I’m doing fine.

Reply to comment by Speight-Merch in My Idobao id42 socket completely fell off and the right space bar doesn’t work. Tried fixing it but it didn’t work. Anyone know where I can get another pcb because from what I’m seeing I can only buy another full kit by Linear4life

This can happen to any hot swap board. The sockets need to be supported from the rear while inserting switches, as a bent pin can just push the socket off instead of being inserted into the socket. There's a post like this at least once a week from people with all manner of boards, from a range of manufacturers. It's not a reflection of Idobao quality.
