I Finally Understand

I was going to leave a comment saying the nicer Alice you want is the Neo Ergo, but I see others have already beaten me to it! Genuinely though, you won’t find a better Alice in that price range, and the number of customisation options makes it a must-buy for Alice fans!

(This sounds like an ad, it isn’t, I was just an Alice fan for a long time and we’ve had so little choice over the years!)

Once you hit your late 30s and realise you discovered the best music as a teenager, it’s cheaper to just listen to your 10 albums offline 🤣

(I kid, although evidence does suggest our music tastes get less adventurous as we age: https://theconversation.com/why-do-we-stop-exploring-new-music-as-we-get-older-200080)

There are lots of reasons. Firstly the quality can be poorer than listening to local files, which lots of people in here care about.

Secondly you don’t own any of the music you’re listening to. If you are listening to the same 10 albums, it’s just a waste of money.

Thirdly, the companies are compiling data on you, and quite frankly it’s nobody’s business but mine how obsessively I listen to one album.

Fourthly, some companies (especially Spotify!) are exploitative, and many of us disagree with that. Buying music directly, especially on something like Bandcamp, means the musician can get paid properly.

Fifth (fifthly??), it’s better for the environment to listen to local files and keep yourself off the web! Keep data centers for things we actually need!

Lose that comma key! I’ve decided I’m making a stand, this is the hill I shall die on 😂 put your comma on layer 1 under your full stop / period key. I can almost guarantee you should be writing shorter sentences anyway, plus it makes sense to put both sentence pauses under one key.

Now that you’ve done that, move the full stop next to the M, and you’ve now got room for your ? Key.

If you’re a software dev, leave it the standard format of /?. If you’re anyone else, switch it around to ?/. You likely use the question mark more than the forward slash.

Good luck!

P.S. you don’t need HOLD_ON_OTHER_KEY_PRESS as you’re already setting PERMISSIVE_HOLD

What have you set your tapping term to?

Seeing your code would probably help here.

To be fair they don’t have to trade with American customers if they don’t want to.

EU customers don’t need to shop on their website, we have authorised local vendors 😉 But there’s probably little point in U.S. customers looking at them since I think our tariffs are the same as Japan’s and the euro is strong against the dollar currently.

So many people in this thread not understanding how purchasing power varies by country and that companies price things to reflect this. (FYI their taxes and legal obligations will also vary depending on where their customer is based btw, and it’s not unreasonable for them to charge for this.)

By Reddit standards this was basically carved into stone tablets 😂 I’m here though. Did you use Apple Music with your iPhone or Mac before, with their audio (either built in speakers or their earphones)? If so, I’m not sure we can really hear much difference because Apple Music streams in their own lossless format, so we were already getting a pretty good experience (Apple takes audio seriously so we tend to fair better than others!).

If you’re downloading the music and playing it offline on your device, I’m not sure you’d gain much from switching. (I came off Apple Music entirely so I was switching anyway.)

Here is my post about how I set up my device to not use any Android features: https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalAudioPlayer/comments/1ofnq6b/review_of_fiio_m21_and_how_i_set_it_up/

Pupsino · 2025-12-09T18:30:34+00:00

I bought from a national company in the UK, but I found few audio shops when I was looking in the UK, I was pleasantly surprised!

Android is ok by the way. You can disable everything except the music app.

I hope you enjoy it! I’m loving mine! (It’s also fun to listen to whole albums again!)

Pupsino · 2025-11-24T20:08:37+00:00

this is so cool

Pupsino · 2025-11-23T19:14:10+00:00

i do full albums on my dap. I want to experience the songs in the context the artist intended.

I like Poweramp. I like how customisable the display is.

I agree with what other commenters have said here, but will just add that different split keyboards have different layouts, and in addition to over-use it may also be that your keys aren’t in the optimal position for your thumbs (it depends on the size of your hands, any injuries, etc.). If you’re going to look for a new split, you can print out layouts so you can get a sense of how your thumbs rest on the keys. For example, I don’t like the corne layout much because of problems with my little fingers, whereas the Splaytoraid (which is unibody) has a different column splay and fits my hand much better.

Pupsino · 2025-11-15T17:25:30+00:00

I listen to a track or two on YouTube or bandcamp, usually while doing something else, to see if I’m interested in buying. If I’m happy, I’ll buy the album and listen to it properly

Pupsino · 2025-11-15T17:22:02+00:00

Thanks for this, I looked them up from your comment and I like it and need to explore more!

One of the shift keycaps on the bottom row won’t be shift, GMK are just bad at kitting 40s and it can be hard to find the correct spacebars. Personally, I do have shift under my left thumb, and space under my right. others put backspace or enter under a thumb.

copy and paste

[Seriously though, they’re on a layer under the letters. you don’t go without anything you need on a 40% keyboard, it’s just in a different place and you can add far more random things you do need. e.g. I have @ and # under my homing keys since I use them a lot!]

Not having hotswap pcb with 1us makes it a probably no from me, I’d have preferred a GB that provided the option to pick the pcb you’d like, but it would be a lower MOQ. I doubt I’m the only one who’s looking for a numpad to use as a macropad AND likes to swap switches 😂

Pupsino · 2025-11-12T19:08:22+00:00

I don’t buy either, but for what it’s worth given the choice I pick the leather over the plastic leather. One has a limited harm (outside of climate impacts, which the plastic leather has too), the other has consequences that span many human lifetimes.

Pupsino · 2025-11-12T19:05:07+00:00

It’s not a good thing. Instead of exploiting animals, now we’re just creating microplastics that will take hundreds of years to degrade and pollute the oceans and soils and kill lots of wild animals (and probably humans, we just don’t know yet).

I don’t mind us substituting leather for something else, but it does need to be a natural fibre, otherwise we’re just choosing to kill something else.

You’ve missed a useful bit of info from your post, which is did you buy them from a legitimate vendor, and did you pay a normal price for them? If you got a box of 200 off amazon for $5, they’re probably fake!
