"Custom" third-party keyboards are a thing on iOS. I've only lightly dabbled with them on iPhone. Maybe there's something with a better layout for you out there, or ideally: a configurable keyboard you can design your own layouts for. Imagine! If I were a real developer I'd probably make my own thir...

Great minds, eh? ;) As soon as he showed me the lack of space inside the box, I knew this was the perfect job for MX. I let him choose between linear and clicky switches. MX Green it was. Reassuringly clicky. Their audible feedback comes a half second or so before the motor kicks in, removing much o...

So, I've been busy lately. One small project was helping out my brother with a control panel for his garage. He's got an electric door opener but the remotes are fiddly and the motor itself is positioned right above the car so it's hard to reach. Besides, when closing it in windy conditions, the dam...

And thank you for making it happen. In the end, it was irresistible.

I’ve ordered a good bit of coloured mods coverage, so I’ve done my bit. Looking forward to getting my paws on these.

Final day for this, so, upon visiting the Temple of Decision, I’ve finally placed my tasty order. May the heavens take mercy on us all.

Just reminded about this again by email:

Looks like the pre-orders are live now, and with more interesting colour ways than I feared. Phew! I might just go in for a Minicom kit. I’ve only got the one black Topre after all.

Hmm. I’m not instinctively in favour of this. It breaks the instant reward for real users who have just signed up so they can post something, as their post will have to wait for a moderator to show up. And you know a good way to get a mod to sign in? Seeing spam in the forum spy! :lol: Meanwhile, it...

Stockholm Syndrome is real, dude. Now be nice to the men with the firearms. They’re having a hard day, okay!

China wants us DOWN, apparently. Hokay…

I had hoped it meant "we are sold at last! maybe the new guy will be better…" But yeah, the cack-handed way it's been implemented just looks like a quick and dirty patch by someone who doesn't understand the (pretty basic) problem and certainly doesn't fancy actually talking to the community about i...

In Soviet Russia, AI automate YOU!

Waidaminute…

Is Nginx eating verbs now? The horror, the horror…

Yes and getting logged out continuously on Safari on my phone. Nice!

Pictures making a perfectly scientific forum poll: Your opinion of Cherry MY as a switch: • MY is horrible, objectively bad, like poking especially nasty, soggy newspaper • MY is an under appreciated gem, just as deserving of love as any other switch, you can all go to hell But then all the trolls w...

Integrity? Actually, I was just complaining about the bother. Hitting Submit and getting slapped with an Nginx 404 is quite unacceptable! Sure, maybe my browser will forget what I typed when I try to submit it again later, but that's honestly less concern, to my frame of mind at any rate. Freezing t...

My comment was about the state of DT's server, rather than your contribution. Editing the Wiki at all at the moment strikes me as perilous, the way the site goes down in the middle of simply writing posts and PMs. Deleting images in particular when the back-end is like this strikes me as eerily like...

Just FYI.

While it isn't exactly easy to edit the wiki depending on the time of the day or the direction the wind is blowing, I'm now actively deleting pictures…

Sometimes the universe is talking to you.

Sure you’re not tempted by an M2? Underrated and I have two of them…

Not the only misleading claim in that advert:

All Northgate Keyboards Feature:
• Exclusive Northgate Click/Tactile touch using Japanese made ALPS sealed electro-mechanical key switches rated for virtually a lifetime of use

Sealed? Alps? Oh really?

OPINION SMASH!

OneCommerce overpaid badly. And as many have said: DT’s value has only gotten worse on their watch. At least they’re willing to take the hit, though. Much better to let it go than languish.

You’d better bring a heavy escort, Chyros. So many of your DT viewers seem to have a bone to pick with you.

Unevenly yellowed, too. Shame. A third of that price and I’d consider it. ;) I’ve heard Omron switches can be “restored” by simply pressing them over and over until they come back to life a bit. They are notorious for their unreliability, but when they go bad it’s not quite as badly so as Alps. And ...

Clearly you're the man to run this forum though, fully funded by your plebs of course with you as the sole owner and any profits going in to your pockets alone! There are no profits to be had when one runs this forum. It might give you a warm and fuzzy feeling (kind of like when peeing in your pant...

"Popular opinion on MY is highly polarised between those who are right and those who are wrong."

Like I said: I'd rather have a second GMK patch set so I could rock legit beige, but the caps I do have are, aye, wrong in an interesting way.

DT decided to restrict permissions

Untrue.

Do not assume malice when incompetence will suffice.

DT decided to restrict permissions to receive private messages for newly joined members. False. I'm a DT mod, and there is no such permission control in our interface. DT's admin, meanwhile, is notoriously MIA. What you're probably facing is Google blocking PM alert emails for DT users who use Gmai...

What's that SLAAAAAAAAM! I hear?

It's not intended as a wiki, nor a repository of stories. Most of the keyboards there don't have much of a story, but they are interesting to Cherry collectors nonetheless. Hell, even if they did all have stories - it's no small task to write 900+ stories. It is meant specifically to display unique...
