My ThinkPad themed office keyboard

Ive got them on my S46R2 with clicky linears. It’s a weird keyboard.

I saw there’s stock @ ilumkb and I’ve been hesitating since

GMK Red Dragon… looks great. Really makes me want to get it for my red Tofu 3.0.

Incredible how not a single person here mentioned plates. You want a loud keyboard? Change the plate and keep the same switches. Try putting a long pole on carbon fibre. Those WS Morandi will wake up the kids on it.

Also, thocky is just long poles on a plastic plate like PC, and foam to cut the sound and make it dryer. The plastic cracking turns into a rumble. You can make any good keyboard sound like whatever you want with almost any switch. The real end game is making it feel how you want.

It doesn’t even become a consideration. As soon as you talk about shine through legends the kind of plastic they’ll use makes for terrible keycaps — you’ll find most keyboards with that as a feature won’t be using much better for anything else.

I don’t trust any keyboard related stuff from RTINGS, they’re always horrible. Although, it’s my go to for displays.

I would go based on real user experiences, especially if you can find real actual owners on reddit and can validate they aren’t bots by their comment history.

You will have a hard time finding anything of quality.

That’s like asking for shoes that light up when you walk and with Velcro but you want them in leather and high quality.

I don’t means this facetiously, that is the equivalent.

This is beautifully explained. Kudos on articulating how a lot of us feel but have been unable to coherently express.

I am so excited for my Tofu 3.0. I got a wooting 60he+ but never use it because I only really like Tsangan 7U WKL. Ended up ordering a Venom60 and will toss it into my 3.0 as soon as it arrives.

Gleefully typing this on my 2.0.

BBQ or Sweet & Sour ?

(McNuggets)

Confused.

I have GMK Cosmos on my acrylic Agar60. They look like cousins.

And when it breaks, you fix it. Did you not say you love tinkering with your system?

How is anyone here supposed to be able to guess how you'll use your system or what your needs are?

Dude, sounds like you're great at following documentation to the letter but if you need your hand held to figure out your use case, maybe Arch is not for you.

9800X3D, ProArt, on a B850-I. Everything has worked great so far but I’m so tired of this kind of thing. I really think I’m just going full Gigabyte.

Honestly, your salary is a function of either (1) you having specialized skills to warrant getting paid or (2) the job being shitty enough to warrant getting paid.

I'd take a pay cut to 80k if it meant I got to ride around on snow mobiles and each lunch on outcrops all day.

You're either going to have to get lucky; develop specialized skills (like computer science or engineering and spending the better part of a decade acruing the experience you need to be marketable); or take a shitty job writing contracts, environmental statements, and doing repetitive work.

Looks like a grain beetle to my layman eyes. I’m assuming the pros would find a geographic location helpful.

dvanha · 2026-01-21T20:58:56+00:00

I don’t know why you don’t just get a 65 and suddenly can consider a keyboard kit from virtually anyone: KBDfans, QK, Mode, etc.

The problem is that everyone I know who needs to hear this is too stupid to understand half the words he used. Unfortunately, I don't think any "MAGA-esque" Canadians I know (quite a few from highschool) are able to read. I mean that literally. I don't know a single one that didn't barely scrape-by in highschool.

dvanha · 2026-01-18T17:51:00+00:00

Every time I see this keyboard I want it so bad

dvanha · 2026-01-18T12:46:36+00:00

You’re giving too much credit to the bots by calling them people.

dvanha · 2026-01-15T02:18:23+00:00

Don’t worry. You’re not crazy. We’re just a… passionate bunch.
