Re: Why aren't other old periphrals better than modern ones like keyboards

With monitors though, it's a bit tougher for me to put into words. I think, again, there aren't too many ways to do a monitor like a keyboard. CRT was pretty much the standard for the big boxy monitors of yesteryear and the last major advancement to change the standard was when LCD displays were in...

I thought we said waxboiling is offtopic to this. Did you even read before posting? :roll:

Re: Beamspring from Hell Restoration Log

Thanks everyone!! It was a real PITA but also a labor of love, and I plan to keep the case exactly how it is right now. Unsure if clearcoating it is even necessary tbh.

Re: Beamspring from Hell Restoration Log

Hello all, I have been very lazy in finishing this project! Basically I finished the mechanical aspect of the restoration, but foolishly tried to lube the sliders and used way too much lube! :oops: Realizing I had to essentially take it all back apart, clean, and reassemble a second time was very di...

It's one thing to be defensive, but quite another to resort to performative self-importance. "Performative self-importance" is a tactic for people who have not already won every social-status game they care about.

You're saying "you think", which is simply not a convincing statement. You said you have a lawyer who was going to chime up in this thread if needed. Have they done so and identified themselves? No. And at this point I'd have a much more difficult time persuading the attorney to show up than I woul...

Re: Seeking Soarer - evidence thread

Have you considered just doing some programming tho? seems easier. Yes, it would be that. I maintain, at last count, somewhere over 50 open-source projects. I'm never short of work to do. But it also true that lots of people can sling code. Far fewer also know IP law, have a nodding acquaintance wi...

With that NEWS cluster on the bottom one I'm guessing George was really into Nethack. Love these things. Can't wait to see more. It was more just me having too many extra caps and wanting to make the keyboard look purposeful again. I was originally going for a compass type thing with North South Ea...

Sure, we all love vintage but sometimes we need a break from big old inconvenient keyboard. This Southpaw75 is one of my most ASMR boards I own.
