Re: The mystery of DT's new owner - SOLVED

Hi All, Deskthority was acquired by OneCommerce with the purpose of growing its community and facilitating the growth of the platform. Indeed, the domain name was registered in order to use OneCommerce for Mechanical Keyboards. As a Startup, it is fair to say that the acquisition of Deskthority had...

Re: The mystery of DT's new owner - SOLVED

Good evening everyone, Please excuse the delay in responding to all of your comments, do allow me to first introduce myself.

Re: What's your list of beige whales?

I want an Unsaver with the matching external numpad, however that seems unlikely... Would settle for an F107 :D This hurts, I will NEVER get that numpad. :cry: (not willing to pay 2 grand lmfaoo) Yes, board X has a slightly different case/layout/color that is less common than board Y but they both ...

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)

What I will agree with, very very cautiously, is that I had the opposite response with beam spring. Now bear in mind here that my entire experience typing on a beam spring keyboard is probably mere seconds, less than a minute, pushing keys on one that somebody else owned and had sitting in the boot...

Re: Dear Model F owners, can we talk? (Long rant)

Nice rant, but I think the F keyswitch is way smoother, crisper, and just overall better than the model M in every way. It's also at the perfect weighting whereas the M is too heavy for my tastes and tires out my fingers. Also the sound from an F is also 10x better in my opinion. The only M I use is...

I've been very stern in making it clear that we can't make assumptions regarding Soarer's state (and mindset), so I'll have to make a point here: we don't know if he "did" or "did not" follow all good practices — regarding sofware development, the code running in Soarer's converter is pretty much a...

1. Someone (call her Alice) verifies that compiling the Antonizoon source produces a hex blob that is a drop-in-replacement for Soarer's.
