Hello keyboard friends, communication (the 2nd most important tool of mankind after time and prayers which are no. 1) through keyboard is very important. Just a curiousity, a wishful thinking, how does one create a business (if it's better to turn it into a business) supposing one has a possible wor...

Re: Alps Appreciation
Looking at your photos I'm wondering if a guide post socket would be too tall to work with your BAE key? Those stick up fairly high from the plate, and there might not be clearance on the keycap for it to work. I just measured some guide posts. These were done with cheap digitital calipers, so not ...

OK, I finished my replacement controller for the battleship. Hooray! The Blackpill-based setup works. There are some hurdles, but they can be overcome.

Re: 8bitdo Retro Mechanical Keyboard
I must admit I’m quite tempted, given the reasonable price, the unfamiliar (to me) switches, and the hot-swap. I don't have any hot-swappable keyboards. A looker like this, with Bluetooth, is a compelling addition…
Any good reasons not to? I could use one of those.
