I'm an email admin (been doing my own mail for 17 years, did it for a university before we went Google) and yeah this is stupidly easy to fix. But, it might not fix Gmail delivery completely as they are finicky as all get out (Sendgrid makes good money for a reason). I do see a SPF record, but no D...

Hey, long time no see (but sometimes I still lurk), because I still use the same two keyboards since a long time (hmkb 96 and vortex 68). I will move for some time to another country (china), so I need money and don't have space. So I will part with stuff I originally don't wanted to sell. There als...

the older boba came in two spring weights, the newer ones only come in 65g that is quite a nice spring IMHO and due to the (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/building-a-keyboard-9-marvodiy-redefined-68-forest-pbt-keycaps-gazzew-boba-switches/images/boba-lt-9.jpg) tighter coiling at the ends it feel...

That's the thing: they're wildly inconsistent, and they make the rules. For instance, when I proxied the Kishsavers into Britain, I got a customs fee of £150-£200 as memory serves. This was my second time getting something from Tinnie, so I made sure he lowballed the customs declaration. Customs fel...

Here is some more Round 1 beam spring feedback from a geekhack forum member that I wanted to share here. Everyone please do share your feedback (even if there were little to no issues!), and also please share any mods or tips you have done to improve the beam spring keyboard. https://geekhack.org/in...

This post is here should anybody try to understand how capsense actually works and how sense card looks like, capacitance-wise (and that I'll be able to later find what I did and what results I've got). You're welcome to ask questions or ask me to measure something specific (if I still have the rig ...

Hiya Everyone! I’m here to gauge the interest in the switches I’m planning to group buy, they are a pretty rare switch from a notable switch manufacturer: BSUN. If you don’t know about BSUN they are the manufacturers of the GSUS “New panda” holy panda switches. They are a pretty elusive manufacturer...

Looking at those Bluetooth Niz boards—and suspending my WTF-grade disbelief about the seminal name!—the layouts and the caps both put me off. Now, if they were £50 boards like you say, I'd be much more tempted. But they're HHKB money! :lol: same goes for me, i would love to try out a wired ISO Layo...

Talking about Cherry clones: has anybody been crazy enough to clone MX Clears? I suppose you intended to be snarky, but I also don't know how ignorant you are: There are several options for "Ergo Clears" with lighter springs that lack the scratchiness and tight keycap mount of real Clear — but I've...

Hi Guys, I'm working on the IT at Admin's side and have access to DNS config (as well as full server). Is anyone still getting this issue? I added a new DNS record for mech.deskthority.net but it's unclear if it solved the issue as I cannot replicate the issue myself. If anyone has any other tech i...

There's a Canon AP-400 typewriter available locally. An online search suggests that it has SKFF Alps switches? I'm not really interested for myself, but am wondering if I should grab it? Price is $68, possibly negotiable.

Hi, Just gives a listing of major NIZ models in 2022 for now. 1, Atom 68 wired 35g/45g, Triple T series 35g/45g ( white gray PBT keycaps); 2, Atom 68 Bluetooth/ Bluetooth RGB 50g ( black POM keycaps); 3. Micro 82 wired/ Triple model 35g ( white gray PBT keycap); 4, Micro 82 bluetooth model 35g/45g (...

It's been a long time since I posted an album of photos here. I've got lots of new things (including a few undiscovered things) that I'd love to share, but these days I always struggle to find the time to get my DSLR out. And Deskthority doesn't deserve shitty phone pics! :mrgreen: Anyway, I got thi...

That completely slipped my mind, I even commented on that. Do you have a link for more info? I think this is geehkack thread the most up-to-date info on it . I can see that it's also available for preorder in the EU (the only ISO version I have found seem to be German, not that I think you will min...

... Btw, I was at the border this weekend and charities, local municipalities and civilians do a pretty great job. This page is powerful too. Issue #68 of Keyboard Builders' Digest , my weekly selection of DIY keyboard projects, tips and ideas is available at: https://kbd.news/pic/_cover/68.jpg

So, sounds like we've got moderation now, finally... but what does the ownership/funding status of the forum look like? Or the back-end maintenance? Wrote about it here: https://forum.nexthority.net/d/68-deskthority-update The short of it is the forum is still owned by a company, with a tenuous int...

I had also seen the first pic. Can’t say which I prefer, though

I got a Niz Plum x108 EC-USB 35g not too long ago. It is definitely a rubber dome keyboard, but still a damn good one. I used the extra springs it came with to increase the weight from 35g to 45g and I really don't feel a noticeable difference, especially when I type fast. I would say I prefer the 4...

This is my most recent video on how to apply the wax https://youtu.be/QIkDOc9cIqw Questions: So, it's not really "boiling" water we want, but just really hot, right? I did a quick Google and saw that paraffin melts at a max of 165 F/68 C or so. How much effort do you have to put in for wiping the w...

Hi Dick, Again big thanks. I have a bunch of questions but I'll space them out. I have been using a 3d printer with a conductive filament to print beamspring capacitive elements. I have also tried copper tape and a conductive paint for model f capacitive elements that I printed in photo resin. The ...
