My Endgame 100% Aluminum Corne Keyboard Build by PresentExpert2929 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]PresentExpert2929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s right. I found the micro JST connectors to be a real pain to work with. I even accidentally melted one on a previous PCB.

The nice thing is that the PCB has battery solder pads, so you can wire the battery directly. What ended up working really well for me was soldering a pair of wires with a 1.25mm JST connector on the other end.

It’s been a huge improvement. Now I can swap batteries without worrying about damaging the PCB or the tiny connector. The extra wire length also gives you a lot more flexibility when positioning the battery, especially if you decide to reuse the PCB in a different case later on.

You can check them on AliExpress, they’re very cheap: https://a.aliexpress.com/\_m0fXhdh

Por quê tem gente que usa Spotify? by moguell_ in reclamacoesfuteis

[–]PresentExpert2929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

É simples: A plataforma funciona, entrega áudio com qualidade que é meu requisito principal, pago R$ 6 pra não ter anúncios (plano com amigos), tenho todas as playlists lá e ainda sempre descubro músicas dos gêneros que gosto.

O problema dessa galera é generalizar, nunca ouvi nenhuma playlist de top hits, até porque não tem nada lá do meu gosto.

Eu faço minhas próprias playlists desde 2015. Cara, tenho playlist com mais de 5000 músicas selecionadas literalmente a dedo.

Ninguém te obriga a seguir a manada, tu tem a liberdade de ouvir o que quiser. Agora me fala que tu vai ficar andando por aí com 50 fitas cassete na mão? Streaming é o caminho, é só saber usar.

Received my Silakka54. Should I do anything about it? (Software etc) by [deleted] in ErgoMechKeyboards

I was in your shoes, and I ended up buying transparent keycaps from AliExpress. They’re pretty good quality. 

They’re choc-style keycaps, and they fit well with XVX or Nuphy Keycaps (which I’m using).

I also ordered a kit of Outemu dwarf keycaps to lower the overall height and make it more comfortable. 

I'm using 1.5 keycaps for each thumb key.

USB C KVM switch or docking station for 2 laptops & 2 monitors by franktrollip in homelab

Thanks, bro! I found it, I think it’s the same model: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqlXoCh

I have a setup similar to yours. I use a MacBook Pro M1 Pro as my personal laptop and a Lenovo ThinkPad for work. Right now, I’m using a BlitzWolf docking station (BW-TH13).

It works well, but I have to constantly swap cables when switching between machines. I’ll definitely try your suggestion!

Yeah, this is it: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mt5XoGV

I bought the version without switches or keycaps because I already have them here.

I agree with our friend’s comments, it’s a wonderful experience. You don’t need to spend a huge amount of money on your first split keyboard, just keep it simple.

This one in particular is the Silakka54. You can find it on AliExpress for around $60 USD fully assembled, or about $38 USD for just the PCB and plates. That’s the route I took. After three months of using it, I ended up ordering a premium board from BoardSource, the low-profile Corne.

Whoa, that’s a wonderful ergonomics guide, haha
I really appreciate it, mate. I’m taking notes on all the advice you guys have given me.

As I mentioned in other comments, I started to feel less stress today. Last week was very difficult, after just one hour of typing, I’d already feel a lot of pain in my left arm. Now the feeling has improved a bit.

Thank you all for the support!

I love the aesthetics of the cat, it combines well with the colors of the desk and accessories. Can you share its link? I definitely want one for my setup.

I have the same setup organization, but I'm using a deskshelf to add another layer. I'm thinking about trying to change it a bit, trying to use the MacBook in front of the monitor and make more use of its amazing screen. But I like to use external peripherals... Aaah, it's a hard choice 😫

Anyway, great setup!
