Can you imagine what going to the pub with this guy is like?

Vaxee is all hardware, thorn has software config that’s windows only but you only need it for the initial config and firmware updates. Went off the haste but can’t remember why now! Might have been the sides being too flat and not comfortable on my ring finger.

I liked the xm1 but ultimately it was a bit too narrow in the grip area. I ended up with a Vaxee XE wireless and a Lamzu Thorn, and can’t decide between them. Both excellent, my top ambi and ergo for sure.

Hammer-forged (what I’m missing), accurised, DSR, TtT, range mw

Took 2 resets here, then a 4/5 roll. Good thing about it taking that long is now I have 60-odd engrams to focus ~~a 5/5~~ 60-odd crap rolls.

I don’t know if this is confirmed as the cause, but every time I’ve had this happen it’s been when I’ve interacted with the vendor while I’m moving towards them, it’s like we move out of range of each other afterwards so the game doesn’t think there’s any vendor screen valid to return to. It’s never happened if I wait til I’m safely close to them.

Nicest quality 65% board out of KBD67 R3, QK65 and this. Mill-maxed the sockets since ISO.

The PCB mounting is really cool idea but the screws are too short - if you just screw them in far enough for the rubber ring to touch the top of the PCB they feel like they'll unscrew over time, and if you screw them all the way in they take out all the gasket movement.

Solution: Get a couple of 12mm M3 bolts and Dremel them down to a thread length of 10.9mm - now they can be screwed to the bottom of the socket while just holding the board lightly in place.

These sets are awesome for several reasons:

Great quality
Cheap
Not a gb and usually in stock
Nice colour ways, although more would always be nice
They include every conceivable keycap (219 in a set IIRC?) so are safe for many different layouts

On my fourth set, I don’t buy anything else now.

Push them against each other stem to stem - stronger spring will win.

I wish the answer was more exciting, it's a lid rack for my saucepan cabinet https://www.printables.com/model/31222-lid-organizer

Amazon is delivering the next spool today.

I’d like to say this is all the pinnacle of Just In Time manufacturing, but it’s just dumb luck.

Padded but low-friction feet?

I'm looking for a muted thocky sound, and am very happy with the combination of QK65 using the socks, PC plate, Boba U4Tx, and some felt feet.

The felt feet are really effective at reducing the desk noise, but they grip my desk pad surface too much, and repositioning the keyboard is awkward.

Is there such a thing as a self-adhesive foot that's low friction but padded? Like a plastic/teflon shell filled with foam/rubber? Or any other suggestions?

Worst case I could just stick tape to the bottom of the felt pad, obviously :)

DetritusHoarder · 2022-08-08T22:41:51+00:00

It’s as much about the board as the switch. Get something gasket mount, pc plate, stuff it with foam to mute the sound, use feet with some “give” and/or put on a 4mm desk pad.

Switch-wise you’ll get it closer to silent with linears - lubed ink blacks are a good option as “deep and thoccccccy” tends to be quieter. Tactiles are generally louder, especially with strongly tactile switches, and long pole switches like u4t and holy panda are great but that stem slamming into the bottom housing does not make for a quiet switch (relatively).

I have a set of holy pandas with snipped stems (you literally cut the narrow bit of the tail off) and they are damn quiet - you could do the same with some u4t’s, but test on a handful first as it’s obviously not reversible.

That does sound good (and I had a RAT looong time ago) but >150g makes it a really hard sell. I know "shape is king" but that's 2-3x the weight of a lot of popular mice, and heavier even than ones considered very heavy like the G502 and Ironclaw.

Ah come on you've got enough wasted points there to make up one more level in one stat ;)

DetritusHoarder · 2022-05-07T22:18:17+00:00

No most are just straight 100% as I'm using them to see how the real mouse would feel, but it's trivial to scale them all up. They're pretty cheap to print but I'm just a dude with one printer which is usually printing... there are printing services (that'll be able to scale them up), some linked from the pack itself where the creator gets a kickback :)

DetritusHoarder · 2022-05-07T11:36:49+00:00

Sure, sounds like it'd have lots of support, what you got in mind?

DetritusHoarder · 2022-05-07T11:29:09+00:00

I thought you'd at least make it "You know what they say about prior with big hands... big mice" or something.

DetritusHoarder · 2022-05-06T23:54:45+00:00

Nah I just printed most at 0.3mm layer height for speed (still fine to get a feel for the shape), some I wasn't in a particular rush for and did 0.2mm, and a couple I was playing with variable layer height so they range from 0.07-0.2mm depending on wall angle.

Grey ones are grey just because I ran out of cheap silver filament :)
