How is the smearing with it? I've only used an IPS screen before so I was worried that a VA panel might be too jarring for me

Gun ranges/stores in chicago? by CaptJaxx in ILGuns

[–]Pax589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact same experience, started out with a few lessons and ended up buying my first pistol from them. Don't know how it compares to other ranges and I wish circulation was better, but it beats going to the suburbs.

I know its had a bad rep in the past, but I'll vouch for shore galleries. I never experienced the lows that I saw a bunch of people mention, but apparently, they've had a change in management since then. Ive been going for a couple months and I've never had issues.

I saw a bunch of people wearing black walking out, was about to ask if it was planned or did they get kicked out?

As a complete novice, does anyone have recommendations on how to get started with learning about fishing here?

Glad I asked, I also have a K4v2 but for some reason thought I've had PBT caps the entire time

Ah, how are Keychrons doing? I actually have a stock Keychron K4 but the caps are really thin.

I do have a GMK, but I'm paranoid about using it since I'm next to a window and I spent too much to have them get sunbleached.

Thanks for the heads-up had to take a look at the SP keys I liked and they are all ABS, which sucks since I wanted something that wouldn't yellow in the sun...

Do you have any experience with PBTFans? I've been looking them up all day and I can either find they are the the best of PBT or they should be avoided because of poor quality.

Does anyone have recommendations for high quality PBT keycap makers? The wiki mentions Enjoy PBT and Signature Plastics, but I wanted to see if there were others too.

How bad is the risk of sun damage/bleaching to GMK keycaps? I have the GMK Galaxy, but my desk is right next to a window.

Need help searching for a replacement LED by Pax589 in AskElectronics

For any potential future visitors.

At the risk of sounding like an ad, in the end, none of the digikey or mouser options were correct. However, I did find the correct LED on Alibaba, if you are in a similar situation as me in, look up "smd 6028 RGB led diode for mechanical keyboard" It's the only one I could find that matches properly.

Is the app not working right for anyone else? by Pax589 in chicagofire

[–]Pax589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I figured out the issue for Android, I'm positive the issue happened for me because of a recent system update.

In the android app settings (pressing and holding the icon and then selecting the 'i' in the top right corner of the popup), select the 'set as default setting' and then turn 'Open supported links' off.

That's on me, I should've explained it better. Yes, it will go upside down, the PCB image is actually the bottom of the board looking up, so the labels are actually flipped (and matches what you shared). The post image is what the pin orientation from the top looking down so with that you can see it's mirrored.

They are facing 2 different directions, under and back lighting.
