Re: Orbitouch keyless keyboard review

In the Beginning of your video, why emblazon " WANING " in Bright Red, curious to know? YES, it does look like a slimy twin-Tupperware bubble like monstrosity. Not worth the money, but again, I'm not deformed in any way (other than my choices) with using some keyboard or mouse input devices. Weird a...

Re: TTC Bluish White switch review

You are seeing more and more keyboards being bundled with this switch, at this moment in time. Not too expensive compared to some others here in Convict Town. PCCG have a couple for sale, put in an order for one to see how it is up close, under my paws. Instead of calling it Bluish White, why not Sk...

Re: JWK Durock T1 switch review

Noticed these some time ago, think I bought about 100 of those Durock Shrimp Silent Tactile Switches, but don't know where they went.

Suspect the kids stole them for their keyboards. Need to ask how they are, teenagers tend not to talk much these days.

Re: Mods complete, would like to introduce you to my Mini M. I named it "mPossible", can you tell me why?

IBM PBT can be dyed to black fairly easily. You even have standard MX design key-caps being coloured in various forms, including the Legends upon all PBT key-caps. In various profiles. It's now almost standard with them these days. Dye-sub is no longer an impediment to using any colour, for 2021 an...

Re: Zealio 67g (V1) switch review

Idea better than execution. Far better than MassDrop's version.

Also, this one comes with a 'Numpad' that can be switched...

It would help if you can compare this cheapo switch model, with a 'superior' CherryMX Blue switch. That way you can show clearly which one is better for overall usage.
