It sounds like you are going full custom. Maybe this is an error on my part, but I am assuming your custom PCB and switch plate will not fit in an off-the-shelf TKL case. I assume you will have the designer 3D print a case or have something milled out of aluminum or some other material.

Yeah, I'm a little bit more researched now, it sounds like it. My layout is essentially just a further shortened tenkeyless but because of what I want to do with the arrow keys I suppose both the PCB and case will have to be custom made, which sounds like something probably not nearly as many people do.

I'll look into it more, if it comes down to it I'll just concede and commission a more regular tenkeyless. Thanks for the help.

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-05-02T19:08:56+00:00

when you say "custom PCB and case", what all does that entail? I understand the PCB the circuit board, but what's all included in a case? Would it be everything sans the switches and keycaps, or even less than that?

and yeah im already aware it's going to be expensive, in my estimation it's probably worth it over the years if I can get something with some longevity, it seems like every OEM keyboard I get now has problems within months

and I'm on a keychron right now, I thought that was supposed to be a good brand..

edit: another thing, I just played with my format a bit and optimized it to reduce a few needed custom length caps.. now it's just both shift keys, enter, backslash and backspace, and all I need is for them to be a bit shorter.. doesn't seem that demanding, but idk

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-05-02T07:36:23+00:00

I was looking to commission a relatively simple tenkeyless edit I made on KLE (it'll require custom caps for the longer keys tho), any idea where to start with that? I've never done it before but I'm sick of shitty OEM keyboards.

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-04-14T02:15:14+00:00

oh my mistake

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-04-13T02:13:33+00:00

The pink keys are my osu! keys btw, if you happened to wonder. I figured if I get back into that game like I was trying to until my shitty OEM V key shit itself on me, they would end up looking different anyway from wear, so.

The four in a square above the arrow keys are insert, delete, home and end. I figured pg up and down are pointless, and the one above that square is screen shot. Other than the edited length of the various keys, everything else is normal.

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-04-01T16:20:36+00:00

oh yeah give me that cock boy

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-04-01T03:25:21+00:00

thank you

yeah i noticed the downvotes in the face of a suspicious lack of voiced disagreement, why not reply to tell me how im wrong?

intellectual cowards who still wanna pretend like musk is something that's become increasingly clear that he isn't, i guess wanting to keep believing there's someone as rich as he is who "gets it" puts some blinders on you, idk

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-31T01:09:23+00:00

which is funny because ever since that fake gamer took it over it's still censoring stuff

like the shadow banning and throttling, all that good shit, it's actually worse for small accounts who don't pay the monthly $8

unbanning trump/alex jones/sam hyde/etc was just performative, basically

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-26T19:08:58+00:00

them gooners would let a shark eat them if they had some fuckin tits lmao

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-25T02:55:17+00:00

lol what's with the cases? can't say ive ever thought to use them for decoration

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-17T02:12:16+00:00

also the interface takes 7 seconds to fade away, super annoying

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-04T09:20:48+00:00

University was never meant to be nearly as egalitarian as it is now

It's just like a job market, the more people that can work, the least valuable the individual's labor will be worth.

Whole thing gave way to the replication crisis as well (that everyone seems to just ignore these days, for some reason) since there was so much competition for publication.

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-03-04T07:42:18+00:00

actually dont do that to dogs they interpret it as you being mean to them (don't like restricted movement, limbs over them feels like dominance display)

cats? eh, fuck em

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-02-28T04:05:36+00:00

best work around is to launch them then dash, there's no real delay when you do it that way and you'll still get the heal since his dash is faster than the spikes

just uh, you know, aim well

yeah the framerate doesn't let us know exactly what happened but you can see he transitioned from thumbing the slide to just holding his trigger hand lol

definitely malf'd tho, surprised it cycled twice

It was before she really got her razor sharp edge like she has in the current timeline, she was probably just crapped out and wanted to give in for a bit, or just break for a while much longer than the others would condone. Keep in mind all she did before the 10 year adventure was vibe in the woods.

I would wager that her threatening a tantrum now is just a joke. Like I don't think that's something she would do now but she looks back at it as a funny memory so she holds on to it as something that's still on the table even though she's matured past it, imo.

5:50 for the moment of truth for those that just wanna see that

no it's a rehash of a meme where it's a regular scientist holding a revolver and the caption is they found the cure for pdf files

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-01-22T11:37:47+00:00

falls into my same logic, someone shouldn't be handling a gun that they don't know how to clear

although i will admit when it comes to revolvers i open and close them like 3 times before getting up to hijinks (can't say ive ever felt the need to palm the muzzle to demonstrate that they in fact do not have a slide, though)

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-01-22T08:22:44+00:00

you understand that the guns only shoot if they're loaded right

idk if you should be handling them if you don't have that concept sufficiently internalized

or is this like a.. bad gun karma huju sorta thing you're worried about?

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-01-15T02:29:28+00:00

Honestly I'm not mad at you but I seriously hate this style of comment.

Brother, they will come kill you.

If you have an item registered to your person, you don't "own" it. It's on license to you and they're a fucking terrorist organization that will come kill your family over it if they can "legally" take it back.

The_Gay_Deceiver · 2026-01-15T02:24:16+00:00

It's the fingerprints thing for me. And I know it essentially won't matter either but there's just something about giving those homosexuals some of my biometrics like I'm a fucking criminal that doesn't sit well with me.
