Time to replace keycaps and a bit of a clean! Ew..such filth!

However in the future I don’t think I’ll be buying a keychron again. Nothing bad about it currently just lack of customer service and compatible keycap options for south facing leds ..

EDIT: For alt-text typed in on my new keycaps!

Image of my Keychron K8 Pro keyboard with the original keycaps, slightly shiny in some cases, with a bright orange "Enter" keycap.
Image of my desk with a pile of the original keycaps to the left, a "naked" keyboard with only brown switches seen, and the new keycpas in the plastic storage above it.
A close up of my k8 pro keyboard with the keycaps removed, showing dust and debris from years of keyboard usage between the brown tipped key switches.

I’m delighted with my setup of the Niri window manager. It’s quick, gives me unlimited space on each workspace, and I can exercise my #MechanicalKeyboard. If you’re interested how I set up Niri, systemd and Waybar, check out my dotfiles: gitlab.com/geewiz/dotfiles

I've been thinking about getting a #mechanicalkeyboard and was looking at the Ajazz brand, I know they're cheap compared to some out there but I want to try something out before committing fully.

Does anyone have experience with these or have a good suggestion? Happy to go with wired if necessary and it'll be on macos if that makes a difference.

Thilo, EE 🤘🏼🇪🇺⚛🎗️

Yeah, I'm still around. 😁
Finally, I managed to pick up all the parts for the keyboard:
A Skiller SGK50 S3 barebone, 4 boxes of Cherry MX Ergo Clear switches, and the keys I showed before. I decided to use the SNES key for the special key on the right.

I really like the result! 🥰

A white 65% keyboard with mostly white keys, with two red and a couple of grey keys as colour accents.
A detail of the rightmost column of keys. A white key has a little SuperNES console printed on it.

I haven’t even finished soldering and assembling my graph-theory designed no-diode partial Tutte-Coxeter graph TC36k #MechanicalKeyboard yet… 🐌

But it already has a spiritual #ErgonomicKeyboard successor in the flesh - the Gamma Omega ULP reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards ⌨️🚀

Here the no-diode feature helps with the rather compact ultra low-profile (ULP) Cherry switches

James Bastone at the #Dundee #Makerspace dundeemakerspace.com/ kindly gave me a soldering refresher “induction session” tonight. Practicing on my new #MechanicalKeyboard PCB - he did one hotswap socket as a demonstration, then I did nine (finished a strip of 10). One fell off, but that’s a quarter done!

I’ll need to get signed up as an official member and return to finish this off another time…

Playing with #MechanicalKeyboard Kailh choc v1 keycaps for my (as yet unsoldered) #ErgonomicKeyboard - the sculpted KLP Lamé (github.com/braindefender/KLP-L - here 3D printed in black resin) feel nice, but the flat MKB profile (here in purple) fit the case ascetic better I feel? They would also be better for portability (less fragile).

Overhead shot of a monoblock split keyboard (the Gamma Omega case design) in black resin. One “red pro” low profile choc v1 switches top left, the right middle finger column in black are 3D printed resin sculpted KLP Lamé keycaps (rising above the case), the right middle finger column in purple are MBK “Violet” keycaps (flush with the case)

Side view of a monoblock split keyboard (the Gamma Omega case design) in black resin. One red low profile choc v1 switches top corner, and the right middle finger column alone are filled. This has red switches with black 3D printed resin sculpted KLP Lamé keycaps. The photo angle shows how much the top and bottom keys extend upwards from the case surface to create a well for the finger.

Can someone tell me what this symbol is supposed to mean? It was delivered with my new set of #keycaps.

I have plenty of Mac keyboards, but I always love getting #VintageApple themed keycap sets.

They're all fairly similar, but PBTfans '1984' has some unique #MacPaint inspired 'novelties' mods, which are so cool.

kbdfans.com/products/pbtfans-1

#MechanicalKeyboard

The packaging of the keycap set, inspired by a MacPaint window, with the toolbar to the left. The window says "And you'll see why 1984 won't be like" and then another window says "1984". There's an Apple logo rainbow in the upper right!
A keycap tray with icon mod keycaps in it. There's a few with the Apple logo colours, one that says "1984", happy and sad Mac ones. From MacPaint: eraser, lasso, rectangle marquee, paint bucket, hand, paint brush, pencil, the shape tools, the "turtle" and "rabbit" icons from the control panel for mouse speed, a trash can, and two others representing documents (but not from the original Mac system as far as I can tell).

My #MechanicalKeyboard PCB and case etc have arrived. Will hopefully be able to start soldering & assembly this week (got a couple of conference talks to wrap up first). JLCPLC seem to have done a grand job… although most of the 3D printed keycaps will need sprues removed & sanded down #ErgonomicKeyboard

Two real ergonomic PCBs made to my design by JLCPLC, finished in black with the sillksceeen art in white - the topological graph theory behind this diode-free design (partial Tutte-Coxeter graph)

Ich will mehr Ergonomie beim Schreiben. Also eine 100% Tastatur mit allen Tasten, links und rechts. Kein Fn Kram, keine Kotpilot Taste, keine halben Tasten, etc. Ich will mechanische Tasten, keine wie am Laptop. Aber ich will den geringen Hub, brauche keine Registrierkasse.

Muss ich das komplett selbst löten oder kann man das für einen normalen Preis kaufen?
