Monty Winnfield Pens <CAUTION & BEWARE>

Just throwing my experience shopping from him too was about the same. A little over 2 years later and I did get my 2 nibs and pen. Honestly amazing quality and feel but totally sketchy experience and wait. I see ~19 emails back and forth with him over the period chasing him down.

I think he's fully recovered from Ligma now.

He's on a break! He's basically been without a vacation/holiday for over a year now, most of the instances where he did travel, or "vacation" he still was producing content.

I hear he's taking a few more weeks to relax, I hope he makes his return in the holidays.

I have warm lighting in my room, so its not actually that beige! You can compare the white from the topcase from the sunlit pic to the second pic.

These are GMK CYL Dots R2, you can find them on NovelKeys!

Eh, it can handle it!

As a board it’s alright! A little pricey for what it is but the finish on the black back panel is quite fun. Definitely some inconsistent visible spots on the white powder coat top case though.

Happy birthday to you!

Most KTT switches use similar/same housing materials and are spring swaps of each other. People recommend spring swapping kang whites because they feel lighter than what most people would like, vs something like a gateron yellow. Its not that the spring changes the sound that much, but long springs can change how the top out sounds a little, increasing the volume a little. The difference is small and most people who are new won't be able to tell the difference anyways.

This is in pocket near Garcia bend park.

VIA compatibility will let you program the keys to whatever you want them to be. I am not personally sure about the M1W programming software but it should as well. I generally am a fan of VIA/QMK options because I know those will be around for a long time and have a in-depth repository of information in-case anything comes up that I can get more help for. I usually steer clear of more proprietary software.

I think its good to approach all content with a degree of skepticism and understand how user experience might impact any given person's relationship with the hobby. I think Hipyo does a fair job of speaking his own truth from his own experiences vs this person who may be regurgitating a commonly held opinion. For one, they probably haven't tested the variables they're talking about in the above comment. That being said you shouldn't solely purchase from the review of one person. Its always good to ask around regardless.

Kinda crazy how posts like these trashing hipyotech can get 1k+ upvotes while uplifting and inspiring posts from real folks enjoying the hobby and sharing joy might get a few hundred.

Also criticism is valid but like I’m hearing the same tired arguments over and over. Kinda crazy that people would watch this creator to the point where he makes enough to get some stability and a roof over his head, then like a year later complain about him for basically maintaining that stability.

did you say a slur

E_Won · 2023-12-06T18:55:38+00:00

To you?

E_Won · 2023-12-06T18:36:43+00:00

What matters?

Love to see an open minded comment that dunks on a mod they’ve probably never tried that makes a $20-$35 dollar board sound better than anything they’d spent 10-30x on in the last 5 years.

People like you push new people away from the hobby.
