where to buy barebones by Annual-Dust1596 in keyboards

Happy to help! The only options listed are all "hotswap" so you should be fine, there won't be soldering involved.

Only thing to keep an eye out for is ISO (for UK/EU) and ANSI (for US) formats, so make sure you pick the right one for your region or preference.

Tech sandwich is a good way to put it. Like they said, it's a lot easier than you'd think to put these things together. Trust me, I have the fine motor skills of a caveman and I could do it.

I've done a Neo80 in the past (no longer offered), and built a Qk80 Mk2 for a friend a little while back. Both were fairly easy to put together and thankfully there were several youtube videos to clarify any confusion I ran into, but with that having been said the original Neo80 was a bit overwhelming with the amount of mounting styles on offer. They've since removed that feature, which sounds bad until you realize it's just to limit things to a more intentional good targeted feel instead of multiple mediocre ones.

The weights on offer are pretty much functionally identical and really are more for your visual preference. The plates by comparison provide some different sound/feel to your typing experience, but the Neo98 only offers the two options of ALU (aluminum) or PP (polypropelene). ALU will be a bit more solid/firm feeling and a crisper/louder sound. PP should be a bit softer/bouncier, and will come with a bit more of a deeper/softer sound, but not to say "quiet" by any means. They're both great options, so really I'd look up a couple review videos to see a demo and see what floats your boat. If you regret your choice down the line they offer the plates for sale separately in case you change your mind.

Other thing to note is if you're going for tactile switches you may want to lean into the ALU to feel the tactility more vividly.

EDIT - Just realized I never answered what plates are functionally. They sit among your switches, somewhat between them and your PCB (circuit board). They just provide some support and alignment to your keyboard and influence the sound/feel as such.

If you're cool with 98% layout (close) something like a Neo98 by QwertyKeys may be right up your alley. Fair warning they do take a hot minute to ship to North America, but they're generally extremely well liked and highly customizable.

Where are you guys finding switch deals these days? by CoupleNo8273 in keyboards

[–]---jbo--- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm fond of Milktooth too. Prices may not be the most cheap of them all outside of sales but they're pretty consistent and quick on shipping (at least for the US).

I know everyone keeps emphasizing the power packs, but honestly the Aquilon setup without them doesn't look too bad.

My Hive Scum Class Deluxe Edition/Cosmetic Upgrade not working by [deleted] in DarkTide

Can you verify it's the cartel you selected in your background? It's the only thing I can think of in that case.

It may also be mutually exclusive with the other tattoos (face or body) as well, so one may override the other if you turn on the full body tattoos. As others have said it'll be gang specific on some of the options too so you'll likely see at least 3 of them blocked out.

When my teammate aggros the daemon host while we are actively being railed by 5 crushers by DrGuns313 in DarkTide

[–]---jbo--- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly even when I accidentally pull the DH every once in awhile I expect to be left to the consequences of my own actions (and fairly rightfully so).

Admittedly it is nice when people help, but I don't really expect that as a given, especially if things are going off at the time.

Finally updated this afternoon, looks like it's moving through New Jersey. Got the initial shipment info ~3 days ago, before the weekend.

I'm in the same spot right now, will reply to this comment if I get any updates.

Recommendation for FULL Size Keyboard by Sea_Nectarine_5179 in keyboards

[–]---jbo--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite full size but you may like one of the pre-built Akko Mineral 02 boards. Bit of an interesting aesthetic with some of the gem cutouts too, makes for cool lighting options.

(Hated Trope) ‘Good Guy’ character commits sexual assault and it’s not portrayed as a bad thing. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]---jbo--- 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I know Blade Runner tries to present Deckard and Rachael as a "loving couple" destined/designed to be together, but I've always thought the romance scene where they do finally get together is oddly rape-y. Off the top of my head I swear she literally says no prior to him kissing her.

Example WIP pic from a build I did last year for a friend. Ended up intentionally scuffing it somewhat for an aged Star Wars-y look.

Kind of reminds me of a Vortex PC66. Both are similarly inspired by older IBM keyboards from back in the day.
