Poor, poor Americans. Will you ever get a decent education? I hear that creationism is on the rise again, that's a fail for society right there.

You should add a pin inside of the tray yo which they can attach their clamp for electricity, which can later be removed, or if designed correctly, can just be left there invisible. This would result in more homogenous surface.

this is a great idea, but I'm not sure if it's feasible. These cases ...

I would have thought to put the electrical tape on the case's insert rather than the Poker's PCB. Do you think it works better the way you did it?

I'm sure either way would work the same. I just didn't want to get tape goo on my super nice looking polished anodized insert! :mrgreen:

just wanted to give you guys a quick update since I've been using this keyboard all day.

The 2 layers of electrical tape almost completely got rid of the pcb flex; there is still a fraction of a mm flex around 5, 6, 7, 8; I could probably add some electrical tape around there to take care of it ...

Mine arrived today, and it looks great, thanks oneproduct! Very happy with the weight and finish. Looks like it got a small ding on the front lip in the mail :( but I was expecting imperfections so it's no biggie.

I used 3m double sided foam tape to stick the insert to the case. See pics below for ...

I think there's a middle ground. You need certain aspects of capitalism to drive competition and stoke personal drive to do well and be productive (too much socialism can drive laziness). On the other hand, you need a certain amount of regulation and socialism to keep individuals' greed and ...

Capitalism can't exist without slavery. America got off to a great start because we had slaves from Africa to do our labor. They kept the slaves around until machinery was invented that could replace the slaves (tractors, harvesters, etc.). America steadily improved the quality of life for everyone ...
