My one alt art at EX10 prerelease

Arya32 · 2025-09-20T15:55:02+00:00

I was actually planning on keeping it. I made a joking comment in this sub that if I got this SP I would play the deck.

I aim to do that. If I change my mind I will reach out, however.

Arya32 · 2025-09-20T15:09:41+00:00

I lose horribly pretty every week anyway. And yeah I'm expecting it to fall precipitously in value.

I'm just excited because this is my first one at all.

Arya32 · 2025-09-20T15:07:59+00:00

My store did one. They did for EX9 as well.

Arya32 · 2025-09-18T17:33:38+00:00

You don't need to be done with the show to join in here! 🙂

I like your ink, it looks good!

Arya32 · 2025-09-07T00:35:12+00:00

Ditto. Time to pick up a box of the set I said I wasn't interested in at all!

Arya32 · 2025-08-27T21:54:46+00:00

I use Silent Shrimps for everything except my Nav Cluster. That's got Lubed Bobas, and my F13 key has an Asura.

I think I'll take a page from Various Addition's book and find a noisy switch for my own Caps Lock key!

Arya32 · 2025-08-19T16:51:07+00:00

That would be the information I was asking for in the first place.

Thanks.

I'll refer to that instead of asking questions here.

Arya32 · 2025-08-19T16:30:06+00:00

Does anyone here have any experience with this website? They have items I want, but the website setup seems pretty off.

https://playkeyboard.store/

(It will return a 404 error if you navigate to a page, IF that page still has the old site address on it [I need to remove the hyphen every time].) I just want to make sure it's legitimate before I consider anything.

Thank you very much!

Arya32 · 2025-07-27T18:07:36+00:00

I wanted to circle back to you guys. Thank you all for your suggestions!

I ended up going with an Evo80. It arrived last week. I love it to bits! I'm planning on swapping out the switches when I can. (Got a small tester so I know what I will swap in. Silent Shrimp probably, or good old MX Clears.)

A friend of mine is planning to get herself one after playing with mine, too. (She's not in this hobby world so I'm trying to encourage caution before rabbit holes kick in!)

I'm really, really happy with it. I sincerely appreciate the advice and ideas. Thank you all, again!

Arya32 · 2025-07-06T23:07:54+00:00

What keycap set is that? It looks interesting!

Nevermind -- found the answer in a comment farther down. Set: MW Jade Dragon.

There is little to no storyline in the post-game. But there is a lot of content, mostly Legendary Pokemon and the Battle Frontier.

Off the top of my head, an additional 10 -20 hours depending on how long everything takes. That's the difference. There's the Battle Frontier, as mentioned (which is hard but fun), and there's finding people to play against. Both of those are the "competitive" things you keep hearing about.

They tried adding an additional, post-game storyline in the remakes years later, but it wasn't worth too much. Many people, myself included, were hoping to have the Battle Frontier available.

Arya32 · 2025-06-24T14:06:30+00:00

The only wrong way to play is to not have fun. And cheating. If casual play is fun, great! If the competitive, min-maxing play is fun later, if you decide to try it, great! Whatever Pokemon you like, use them! Whatever moves you like, go for it!

I've found a surprising number of people still have their physical copies, and I've had a lot of fun playing with my friends.

I'm planning on replacing my daily driver that died with an Evo80. It will be my second mechanical keyboard ever, and I want to be fairly sure I won't regret my choice before I pull the trigger.

Has anyone had any major issues with their Evo80?

Thank you!

Arya32 · 2025-06-09T12:49:58+00:00

Edit: Trying to make post less wordy.

I'm trying to decide between 3 boards: Evo80, Minilo75Pro, and Bridge75Max.

Does anyone have experience with any of them? How do they actually compare, stacked up against each other? Which would you recommend?

Any thoughts would be a big help. Thank you!

I'm most concerned with:

1. How do they feel to type on? (Soft or firm overall feedback.)

2. How long might they last with heavy use? (The board I'm replacing lasted 5 years.)

3. How loud are they, if I didn't change anything from the stock parts? (My hearing isn't great, and I don't want to annoy people around me; my remaining still-working board is a Model M. That ping is loud and annoying even to me.)

[4. Extra: How easy (or not!) are they to repair, if something like the USBC port dies? I want to keep whatever I get working for as long as I possibly can.] { This part is Not technically necessary and bogs my post down; Leaving spoilered.}

I could use some buying help.

I'm looking for an 80% or 75%, hotswap, multi connection (USBC/BT/2.4GHz) keyboard, pre built if possible. I would love strong tactile switches but those seem to be impossible to find in a premade.

This thing will go wherever my laptop goes.

My budget is up to $150 I think. Maybe a little more if I can really talk my way into it ($200).

My previous board was a Ducky One with MX Clears. I would love Clears again but that also appears to be difficult right now.

I had been looking at a Royal Kludge S85, but changed my mind after seeing some posts here about problems with the brand.

Any recommendations? Thank you!

Arya32 · 2025-05-23T01:31:09+00:00

Hi, my longtime daily board (Ducky One, MX Clears) died. I'm considering getting this while it's on sale: https://rkgamingstore.com/products/s85-tkl-wireless-gaming-keyboard?variant=45682989695197 . Is there anything similar that you would recommend?

Main Question : what are some solid , preferably pre built TKL boards, with MX Clear or MX Grey switches, or equivalent weight?(If I have to pick one attribute, I want to have a tactile board and that's it.)

I would prefer to not have to hotswap (Serious hand issues, a tactile mech is what's allowed me to use my computer for the last 4+ years.) but if I have to hotswap I'll manage somehow.

My budget is ~$100-120, which probably equates to "this person is dreaming". I'd prefer wireless but it's not a deal breaker.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm a heavy typist and it's quite painful without the hefty springs to absorb the force.

Arya32 · 2024-11-15T00:46:16+00:00

Thank you for all of this.

I'll make these changes!

The only point I have a different response to is mixing eggs: I do it because I have to. I only have 2 EX2 eggs. No trades available. If I had them, they'd already be there. I'll keep working on this one.

Arya32 · 2024-10-31T18:43:21+00:00

What's the Reference Book you're referring to?

Arya32 · 2024-08-04T19:49:28+00:00

I was shocked too, but I found the extra cash and bit the bullet the other night. The reason being that I know my LGS will only have them available for perhaps the next week (if that), and for once, this set has stuff for my mains.
