No vector :( Vector = best weapon . vector + kar98k + pan is the best setup :D Takes longer to reload it than it takes to empty a clip. I never really want to use a Vector unless I have an extended quickdraw mag for it. Best combo is kinda situation dependent, but in general I'm more of an M16A4/Ka...

I almost forgot that Canadians also get the short end of the stick with this. Using some Toronto zip code, shipping of the Pingmaster would still be US $46.22, which is even more ridiculous than US $57.62 to Germany, considering the US and Canada are right next to each other… Because of this, shipp...

Such a beautiful, unique keyboard. The Honeywell colorway has to be one of my favorites, and that keyboard is just gorgeous. You said you don't have a cable for it at the time being - what do you have in mind for replacement? I'm not familiar with keyboards this old at all to tell if that was a comm...

I drive a '97 Lincoln Town Car at the moment. A luxury police cruiser, basically. Is it true that in the US you can buy used police cars and similar ( post vans and so on) ? And that they are usually very well maintained ? Police cars, yes. It's not uncommon at all to see civilians driving decommis...

I think both were in essentially the last generation of nice-looking cars that manufacturer made xD . Oh, I actually quite like that! You only very rarel...

Range has never been an important characteristic in my book. I've done a flex fuel conversion on my car so that I can run E85 fuel, which is cleaner (more corn-based) and every so slightly less expensive but nets me 30% worse mileage (but more power)! Electric cars are cool, but the upfront cost is ...

No I put the plug into a DB9 breakout board and wired it up to the Pro Micro. The plug is quite large for what it is (which is why I thought it might be possible), but it's not large enough on the inside to house the Pro Micro. You could take out the 2 screws from the plug and dismantle it to save ...

By that, do you mean that you integrated it into the (rather large) DE-9 plug that can be opened, as you mentioned in your second post?lancre wrote: ↑I believe they're from 1984. But I went the fully external Pro Micro / Hasu route so haven't opened the case. Glad you like it!

While it is very nice these colors may turn some people off... You DO know Varmilo makes several color schemes for their keyboards, right? No of course I don't.
