since the Reddit protest

Oh yeah, I heard about that (in the context of Apollo) some weeks ago. Did it work?

Have you built a keyboard before?

40% is quite extreme. You may have to print your own case. Plates and PCBs are rarer than for 60%. The intersection of Alps and 40% will be slim indeed. You’ve got you work cut out.

... I use it (yes, I’m a tweaker) I have to change those god awful colour schemes. Round 5 or Dolch, please. I don’t need unicorn puke barfed on me, Reddit . I never even signed up for you. Some of us were never fooled in the first place. Anyway, QMK is now strictly limited to my Xwhatsit controller ...

... but then I saw you guys. :D Right enough, corporate overlord ownership and their inevitable abuse of communities is coming to a head right now. Reddit saw Twitter's skyrocketing success and chose to have a go . Pyrelink's right though: the 'fediverse' (which runs parallel to the 'information ...

I would believe these pics entirely if they were for Reddit. Too unicorny. Not enough Helvetica. The drunk / puke effect is cool tho.

DT’s just not Reddit or wherever else. When people show off a recent purchase around here, it’s usually something ancient they’ve just worked hard to track down them clean up. Proper! Cheering on straightforward purchase / unboxings ...

... right place this time. :P As for who this board's for: it's different , aye, but maybe not in a DT way? You'll probably have a better reception on Reddit, looks like more their cup of tea. But thanks for remembering vintage / IBMthority also exists. Sometimes people like a change. :lol:

... DT for Youngbloods you are imagining actually look like? Care to describe? Its current form is much friendlier and more understandable to me than Reddit or the other "we are NOT a forum!" platforms that I've seen. Is it the predictable, solid permanence that puts you off? Must everything be a ...

I’m 99% sure you did the right thing. I would safely assume OP is spam, except for the (hours not days old) recency of the Reddit post they duped. Looking at that post, the one comment there told them to go put it in the right section of the forum, which says to me they’re a Reddit ...

You could always flag them as (expected) spam, all quiet like. ;) https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/srn7b2/mechanical_keyboard_advice/ Now we’re talking here, let’s see if they talk or edit in their usual links. That Reddit thread is so new they could ...

This is not a sub. But you are a spammer.

Why are so many numpties asking for "mechanical mice" on Reddit, anyway? Are theirs too "mushy?" Dread to think quite how they got that way…

Well, it is straight pasted from Reddit. But only a few weeks ago. Consider it provisional, until proven human.

It is indeed spam:

But this spammer of ours has been at it many, many years. Sad lad. I reckon he’s just a cut price mechanical Turk.

Spam:

Assuming you’re a bot like the rest of them. Feel free to correct me otherwise!

Best spam you recomen?

Used to be much livelier here. People move on, and the newer folk are mostly going to *spit* Reddit now. There’s your traffic. So it goes. That or passive Instagram, TikTok or whatever it is now. The chatty rough and tumble of forums is out of style. Maybe so is typing! ...

A little searching (via images) finds this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3028ur/rip_terry_pratchett_sony_vaio_rubber_dome_keyboard/ Apparently, productive bugger that he was, he had a few over the years. Lot of dead links in ...

... of DT, here's to Webwit, Mr. Interface and sixty for getting it started. I don't know I'd have stuck around if it was just a choice between GH and Reddit.

... much for a keyboard! And I’ve a few prime unobtainium boards now. $200 is way too rich for my taste! Yeah, I don’t regret starting here instead of Reddit or Geekhack. Neither of them spoke to me the same way this place always has. Oh, you’ll like this. I remember very clearly feeling I’d missed ...

I’m honestly surprised anything with “balls” in its name works well on Reddit of all places. I recalled how badly we've wanted the *.GIF files to be loaded starting from the bottom, not from the top. Of course, these were purely technical pictures, nothing ...

Aren’t “likes” the dynamic Reddit is based around? I’ve honestly no idea, as whenever I’ve seen it, I’ve sure as shit *not* liked it. That’s not to say it won’t work here. (If phpBB has such a thing.) But it needs not to overwhelm the ...

Reddit seems to like them a lot but I feel like thats just compared to other mx style switches. I reckon you’ve read the situation well! I haven’t tried Zealios, but I know Alps. Alps tactiles are very different beasts from ...

Thanks. But I can feel my Reddit hives.

I’m only interested in beige, by the way. I’ve just two sets of Cherry caps: ANSI dyesubs and ANSI doubleshots, all classic cream. Just got one 6.25u spacebar though.

... If I was wiring a new board I’d give this a try. According to Candykeys, and this Elite-C announcement post on Reddit , the smart wee bugger has its "USB pins broken out" but does it? https://i.imgur.com/Odjd9Dr.jpg There's really not many pins on there! I see ...

... that irritating app that leaves its sig spam all over the place… Anyway, I don't think we need to worry about following other people's leads. Let Reddit be Reddit, and all the rest of them their own things, too. There's something wholly appropriate, after all, for the most keenly vintage of all ...

Fumes would kind of explain Reddit, now I come to think…

Hear hear! I'm in for one of each, like Hzza.

Wondering how the GH and Reddit boys will like their DT caps!

No, you're fine, I'm here. On Reddit that would never happen.
