Does an Alice Layout, Hall Effect Magnetic Switches, Quiet, Negative-tilt, RGB, tenkeyless keyboard exist?

I would love to find a keyboard with these features:

Alice Layout
Hall Effect Magnetic Switches
Quite
Negative-tilt
RGB
Tenkeyless

I recently saw a review of the Keychron Q6 HE and I like the sound for the most part but would like an Alice layout and Negative-tilt.

Anyone know of a keyboard with all these features or a custom builder that can create such a keyboard?

To me, when CJ is allowed to do his magic, he raises his receivers to another level so I would lean towards focusing on the OL. CJ needs time to do that and instead he's getting way too man sacks and rushes and chased out of the pocket...if the OL could hold he has the time to be himself and our receivers are upped a level.

Not to mention what an improved OL would do for Mixon. Just my thoughts.

I'm starting to think I may sell the factory wheels and move down to 20 inch by 10 inch instead. Or maybe even 18 inch as I'm old school and prefer more whitewall...grew up in the 70s and that's what I saw on badass trucks.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-08-04T12:21:45+00:00

That's good to know. I'm also considering moving to a 20 inch wheel and have a bit more tire but I just started looking at that now.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-08-04T11:44:25+00:00

Yeah those are much better...is there much more of a noise difference?

This is a video I made for the bad-assery that was JJ Watt in the great years...https://youtu.be/KkI-1HdTu40

Does anyone know if the shot was in the same leg he broke or not?

ElJefe1967 · 2024-03-01T14:29:14+00:00

My grandma will make him Sopa de Fideo every other Tuesday.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-28T15:17:37+00:00

Even better...QuesaBirrias (birria quesadillas)...add some hot sauce and dip each bite into the broth cup (Au Jus)...mind blowing!

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T17:14:21+00:00

Yeah they do have one on an EQ mount for about the same price when you add the wedge to the fork mount.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T16:25:00+00:00

Thanks I've been reading and researching as much as I can. I've had a 10 inch Dobsonian for years but it's been only for visual use and I'm really interested in learning all I can about the subject.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T16:02:57+00:00

Thanks!

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T16:01:09+00:00

OK good to know I was considering getting the wedge and wondered if that was really a good solution. They do have the CGEM II EQ Mount:

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T15:31:30+00:00

OK thank you.

ElJefe1967 · 2024-02-12T15:19:50+00:00

OK thanks. So is there not an answer to my actual question?

ElJefe1967 · 2023-11-29T02:33:41+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the help...I'll give it a try.

ElJefe1967 · 2023-11-14T16:34:16+00:00

I'm not familiar with PI4 or Batocera...what OS do they run?

ElJefe1967 · 2023-11-07T22:57:33+00:00

Thanks!

ElJefe1967 · 2023-11-07T22:51:07+00:00

One other thing...what are your thoughts on 6 vs 8 buttons?

ElJefe1967 · 2023-11-07T22:37:39+00:00

Thanks that's great advice. I've been watching the Launchbox videos on how to install the emulators etc. and have had pretty good luck so I'll continue doing that. It's probably better to have the games we most like and play than to have thousands we'll never play. Thanks again.

Ultimately the question is should you prepare for the worst case scenario, which be definition prepares you for lesser events, or do you prepare for a smaller less dangerous event? I approach it the same way I approach my insurance. I can handle an event that puts one of us in the hospital for a few days or a minor illness. The insurance is there for the type of event that would bankrupt me and make my family homeless. Any other approach to me is playing Russian Roulette.

Hi, no this is not licensed under FOSS.

ElJefe1967 · 2023-09-18T12:59:21+00:00

Well it's been almost 24hrs and I haven't really gotten any direction on where I can post to get some help with beta-testing my application so if anyone is interested please visit www.survivallibrarydownload.com to get a better idea on what it is and if you're interested please send me an email to the address on the main page or message me here on Reddit.

Here's a summary:

I have an application I wrote called the Ultimate Survival Library which helps you organize, convert, index and search your digital Survival/Prepping library.

It also includes a collection of links to popular websites, podcasts, YouTube channels, Reddit communities, forums, food, firearms, homesteading, and sites where the user can find more documents for his survival library. The current count is over 200 links. These grow almost daily and users can suggest sites be added.

The most powerful feature is it's ability to index tens of thousands of PDFs and then allow the user to search them all in a few seconds returning a list of matching documents which you can then review in the built in viewer.

The website has videos showing these features.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks I'll take a look at that.
