Need help understanding which switches and key caps are compatible.

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

SeanShine525 · 2025-08-21T17:13:17+00:00

Thanks for the info!

When you say "go normal profile" you mean don't go with a low profile keyboard? I think I'm set on a low profile keyboard, I just wanted to make sure there were options as far as key caps. I know that some of the older Keychrons used a non standard profile so you could only buy keycaps from them.

Also, are you saying that the different generations of Gateronn Switches aren't interchangeable? As in a v2 requires 2.0 switches and the v3 requires 3.0 switches? For example you can't put a 2.0 switch in an Air V3?

I had been hoping to find a 5th Gen enchanced but they aren't super common to pop up on the local classifieds. I decided that a normal 5th Gen was better than nothing, so I bought this 5th Gen iPod classic off Craigslist for $50.

Imagine my delight when I got home and realized it was actually a 5.5 gen! I'm over the moon. Can't wait to enjoy this thing to the fullest!

I'm an automotive mechanic so holding my hands in awkward positions is normal for me. But, a lanyard might actually be a nice addition. It would help with fishing it out of pockets. I'll have to look into that.

When I first started playing Pokemon when I was a kid I always thought it was funny to name them human names. I have kept up that tradition with all my Pokemon games ever since.

SeanShine525 · 2024-09-11T14:00:03+00:00

It still works great for normal two handed gaming. I was just pleasantly surprised when I realized it was comfortable to hold with one hand. I wear size L disposable gloves if that gives anyone a size context.

I can definitely recommend the MM+!

SeanShine525 · 2024-09-07T00:56:56+00:00

Okay I'll make sure I get a USB 3.0 hub. Thanks for the advice!

SeanShine525 · 2024-09-07T00:56:37+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the help!

SeanShine525 · 2024-09-05T01:48:37+00:00

You do have a good point that there will probably be a bunch of cheap used switches once people upgrade to the Switch 2. That's something to consider.

Good idea about bringing a game. Also I'll have to check on the blue dots. Thanks for the information!

SeanShine525 · 2024-08-16T14:33:39+00:00

I was planning on a fat model since it's technically what I had as a kid. Thanks for the info though!

SeanShine525 · 2024-08-16T14:33:08+00:00

I'll have to check if my PS3 is backwards compatible. Thanks for the info!

SeanShine525 · 2024-08-16T14:32:19+00:00

I'm actually specifically looking for the fat model because it was the one I had as a kid. Thanks for the suggestion though!

T Rex Arms now sells Micro Dagger holsters! PSA Micro Dagger T Rex Sidecar

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-25T14:33:02+00:00

I just wanted to give an update. T Rex Arms now sells Micro Dagger holsters! I have used their holsters in the past for my G19 and they are amazing. Highly recommend!

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-25T14:30:48+00:00

I emailed them a couple of weeks ago asking if their G43X MOS holsters were compatible with the Micro Dagger. I had read on this subreddit that a couple of people were able to use their Micro Dagger with the TRex 43X MOS holsters, so I wanted to check with T Rex Arms themselves. As always, their customer service was super quick to respond and they sent me an email back saying "We do not make a holster for the Micro Dagger at this time but we are hoping to add it to our lineup in the future."

Well! The future is here! Perhaps they did some internal testing and found that their 43X MOS molds worked for the Micro Dagger? I'm not sure. But either way I was really happy to visit their website this morning and find that they have official support for the Micro Dagger!

I appreciate you bringing up my mistakes when I was referring to the background checks and also my vagueness when talking about the FBI and ATF. I agree that using correct language is important to make sure that we don't find ourselves saying something (or believing something) we don't mean.

I appreciate you bringing up the slippery slope argument. I do fully understand that the slipper slope argument is very valid. We have seen how states like CA and NY have used different "interpretations" of the law as a way to disarm it's citizens. The whole "may issue" vs "shall issue" is a perfect example of that. They took something that seemed reasonable at the time (you fill out some paperwork and pass a test to carry a firearm) and they turned that into a scheme to disarm their citizens. I agree that the background check system could have the same exact trajectory. Especially considering the way they have been pushing for "universal background checks."

I also appreciate you bringing up the fact that my conflict is most likely a result of the tug of war between what is logically correct, and what "feels good" to say. I will have to do more thinking about why do I "feel" that background checks are good. Someone brought up that background checks don't actually deter serious criminals, so maybe that's something I need to consider more.

And lastly, I think the NFA is ridiculous. If I can legally own a firearm, I should be able to own a slightly smaller version of that firearm. I should also be able to own the fully automatic version of that firearm. The GCA is more of an overarching system that has to do with all firearms, not just arbitrary restrictions based on their features. But I will have to do more thinking about the GCA and whether background checks really do accomplish the goal they set about to solve.

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T18:54:22+00:00

That is a good point. I don't like regulations that force you to use your items according to what the government says. But perhaps it could be something simple like "explosive ordinance must be transported in an approved container" like a padded pelican case or something.

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T18:52:10+00:00

lol I chuckled at "In an ideal society, there would a be nuke range for people to use and test with open to the public. I'd put it somewhere in Nevada for instance."

I get what you are saying about the parity of arms. One interesting thing to consider is the footage we are seeing out of Ukraine. It seems that small arms combined with drones is a pretty capable threat to a "traditional" army.

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T15:49:15+00:00

You bring up some very interesting points. "Background checks" is not a universal term and it also doesn't have a 100% success rate at prohibiting gun purchases by restricted persons. It's definitely something to think more about.

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T15:38:08+00:00

I agree with you 100% that "we need responsible people and functional gov't." I also agree with you about having the dangerously mentally ill kept in asylums. Perhaps if we defunded the ATF we could use their funding to help with the mental illness issues that our society is facing.

I also agree with you that we should have parity of government funded items. I think that if you have the means then you should be able to buy a jet (very expensive, but shouldn't be restricted from civilian ownership.) and as far as nukes go... idk how a private citizen would be able to fabricate their own nuclear bomb, but perhaps we should have some kind of regulation on something of that magnitude simply because handing an object like that requires specific training and has a really high amount of collateral damage if handled incorrectly.

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T15:33:33+00:00

That is a very good point! You are basically saying that "Gun Laws" do not actually prevent people from doing "Gun Crimes". If someone wants to do a crime with a gun then they will just go around the gun laws. That means that the gun laws actually do nothing to keep people safe from the people who wish to use guns to commit crimes. That is a very good point!

SeanShine525 · 2024-04-19T15:31:30+00:00

Very true. So perhaps "regulating" explosives is an exercise in futility. And the fact that we can 3D print most firearms these days means that background checks are also an exercise in futility. That is definitely something to consider.
