Nightmare fuel

I’ve been playing competitive FPS for 20 years. In my experience (which i realize N=1) I can’t see a way that this is an ideal board for a shooter. The ergo is wrong. The space bar is too close to your movement keys your hand will be cramped after playing for any extended period. Your number row is ever so slightly shifted so weapon swaps will be clumsy. Left shift, which is pressed constantly, is much smaller and you will miss it with your pinky regularly making you miss critical movement and losing you the fight. I will admit if you trained on this board maybe you could overcome the quirks, but why? All I can see forcing that issue is losing games or picking up an injury. It’s a sweet board, but it’s the wrong tool for the job. This is an xl macropad. In all seriousness if I’m missing something here I would love to learn what it is. I’m always open to learning something new, especially if there’s a new wave of people using boards this small and playing at a high level.

Now I see yours, and it's much better.

It’s probably the most common color in keycaps, and it can make deciding on a key cap set hard sometimes lol

How is it every time a smaller than 60% keyboard gets posted here the comments are FULL of people going “this is unusable you can’t even type L or ;! What do you do?!”

How does the enthusiast subreddit for keyboards not know how keyboards work? Baffling

sup

It is indeed!

It's too thin for that dude

Almost. You have Saturn and Uranus swapped. Once you do that you need to:

Saturn needs to be flipped 180

Uranus is typically shown ring going vertical, so turned 90 ccw

Except he’s not

It’s being downvoted because any custom keyboard can have keys mapped to anything and you’re posting in THE subreddit for custom keyboards acting like you know what you’re talking about but you don’t. A classic case of r/confidentlyincorrect

Made it using polymer clay and popped it in the oven for 15 minutes. It's a little rough around the edges, and this picture doesn't quite do it justice, but hopefully things will be better when I get my hands on some resin.

Wait I kinda see it now. But nah, I was going for a sad dog.

Is that a good haha or a bad haha 😅

Started turning to Krytox XHT-BDZ for stab wires because of this.
Holee mod was a bit too finicky for me, so I just "plug the butt" with XHT-BDZ. It caaan dry out and settle, but it being thicker than 205g0 helps tons.

now op just needs to replace his start menu icon with the old 9x start menu icon

Yup that's more like it! Awesome set btw

Pretty awesome comment, my astronomically challenged self is learning a lot. Yes, keycaps can be rotated because XDA, it's a gift and a curse. Here is my second go, let's call it Starlink instead of Voyager.

Is that a sat 75? Respect!

Looks nice! Especially for a first try. How’d you make it?

QWERT

Okay so now I'm not so sure about which is which but here's my best guess (written on your photo).

Also, is it possible to put these keycaps "upside down" ? (so no steeper edge according to the rows) Because "Earth" sure looks rotated. That's 100% Earth, it's South America. Jupiter is upside down, Uranus needs a 90 degree rotation. The other designs are a bit confusing, like "Neptune" can be "Venus" as well considering that these planets both look "cloudy"... And if that really is Voyager 1, then it should be the last one because it already left the solar system. And I'm not sure about Pluto either because it's not a planet anymore but then we'd have 1 extra cap so I guess it's back haha

Correct order would look like this:

Sun Mercury Venus Earth (Moon?) Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune (Pluto?) Voyager

Edit: Forgot to attach the photo lol

Most of the hate stems from Glorious, who has no lack of contraversy, and had a pretty shit debut board.

Nah, hard pass for me, its basically absolutely unusable when it comes to normal everyday typing. I can't even type my own name with such a small keyboard where half the letters of the alphabet are missing. It's as big (or small) as a regular 60% Keyboard but with half the functionality.

Not gonna jump on this trend

some hhkb layout boards come stock with capslock bound to lctrl instead
