Brilliant. Done. After Beamfoot we now have it's older cousin the Beamship. But what about the 3277 66 key? "Minibeamer"? Hmmm....possily just "Beamy-66"?

Why not name them after real beamers. 1er, 3er, 5er, etc. :mrgreen

The 5251 could be a 520d, for instance

Easy, "Beamsaver"

Definitely Beamsaver for the small ones.

What about the one that's integrated into a desk that has even less keys?

Agreed!

That's obviously a "Beamcarrier" because of the desk!

So we have:

Beamsaver
Beamfoot
Beamship
Beamcarrier

Haha sounds perfect to me!

Who coined the unsaver?

So which one would be the Beamhemoth?

These are what we have right now:

Beamsaver
Beamfoot
Beamship
Beamcarrier
Desksaver
Beamhemoth

"Beamhemoth" could really only be the 122 or the the one that's integrated into a desk.

Chyros mentioned "Beamsaver" which makes sense from the size the 3277-66 key must be a spacesaver. "Beamhemoth" is my favorite so far since it sounds utterly ridiculous.

Ahh yes of course I did forget about that one. The kanji is like a gaint typro POS beast which can only be the Beamhemoth. Thanks for the pic MrDuul.

Based on the weight of regular beamers, this bulldozer could be in the 20 kg zone.
This is not your regular endgame. This is the end of all fucking games, period.

No way. A normal beamer is in the 4.5 kg ballpark. Very heavy, but not 20 kg. Even this beast would be lighter than the Chyron, I reckon.

That's true. But this has 3 times the switches of your regular beam spring. But more important, from the photos it looks way, way taller.
Moreover, he internal mounting plate/structure for the switches should be humongous. I asked the weight on the OP on Reddit, but I'm afraid that we won't know any time soon...
