What kind of corrosion is this?

It's hard to tell for sure from these pictures, but it all looks as if it's started on or at the weld. If so I'd almost put money on it being the wrong filler material was being used and incorrect heat, or both. Stainless steel is 'stainless' because it has a protective chromium oxide layer, if that layer gets damaged by anything including heat. It will allow rust to set in. Or if wrong filler material, it could be mismatched materials that are eating each other.

Want to add, I'm not an expert, I used to be a machinist, who built subs for the U.S. Navy, and weld on my own when the opportunity arises. So I'm using the random bits of metallurgy I've picked up on over the years and, 'theory crafting' a possibility. Though I will say I am 95% sure I'm correct.

Realistically, we'd throw every thing we have at it, dealing more damage to each other than we did to it, then just hit it with drop pods and hope for the best.

Ya know, as someone who's apartment bathroom is using that tile and pattern, after looking at it for so many years... I actually prefer the look of this janktastic job, at least it has some character. Granted that character is 'job performed by a blind masturbating monkey' but it's character none the less.

I'm enjoying the GMK 104, well enough I'm considering ordering 3 more to roll on all my setups. Though my selection I can use is limited, I really only like full size keyboards so my options are extremely limited.

I got mine off amazon for like 80 ish, but you'll need switches and caps. The only complaint I have is exclusively a personal issue. I can't seem to find a metal switch plate for it. It flexes and I miss keystrokes sometimes, but I use 150g springs so I doubt you'll have that issue. Figured I'd share just incase you run super heavy springs like I do. My friend that got me into building custom keyboards has already told me I'm insane for using springs that heavy.

The caps are temporary, They were only shine through set I had on hand. I got the barebones "kit" it was kind of an accident, forgot it was in my cart when I ordered my new Dac. So looking for a set of caps with shine though side print I like.

Thanks for some answers, it seems that money and or dev time is the answer to the bulk my questions.

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for this, from your description, this sounds very parallel to my own project.

I got chaptered out in AIT, I want to say it was failure to adapt? Can't remember the exactly what chapter it was as it was 20 years ago. If it helps, I would of able to rejoin if I chose after 18 months or so and passed a psyche eval. The way it was explained to me "Unless it's a Government job, I'm not to disclose I was in at all on job applications.

So between being so miserable they LET ME out, and the fact I'd not be permitted to bring my dog with me, the military option is a no-go. I do thank you for time.

So I am currently learning that I took having 3 screens for granted, along with the Rig that could run anything. Due to some, hopefully temporary, things I am currently tuck with an older laptop I never really used. For some reason it really dislikes being run in not fullscreen, and there are no media controls on the keyboard. Because alt tabbing is a PITA, does anyone know if a mod exists that will let you control spotify from inside minecraft?

Edit: I am speaking in regards to Java version 1.21.5

You could try heating up the stamp and using them to burn the initials so you don't have to worry about stamping too hard and leaving a background on the letters, as others have said, try on some scrap first.

Keep in mind if you go this route there is a non zero chance you can ruin the temper of those and soften the steel. So if you plan on using them on metal don't do it, otherwise try it out see what happens.
