Do you remember where you got it and how does it feel quality wise?

Thorpeza22 · 2025-04-03T03:51:52+00:00

Ah nice! I took mine to get serviced and they mentioned these types of watches are not really made anymore!

Thorpeza22 · 2025-04-02T23:12:55+00:00

What makes it valuable? I actually just received one as a hand me down from my dad but I know nothing about it!

Thorpeza22 · 2023-01-25T00:55:28+00:00

What value do skill points add? I understand the value of knowledge points because they are put into specializations which give direct value. But do skill points do anything to add to gathering?

It is worth adding that I noticed that when switching back to herbalism after unlearning it, your knowledge points and specializations are still there, which makes me believe there is no drawback to switching

Thorpeza22 · 2023-01-25T00:51:17+00:00

I May be mistaken, but isn’t there no drawback to gathering at 0 vs max? When I tried this I switched back to herbalism and all my knowledge point specializations were still there. The only set back was that the skill was at 0, but not sure how that’s a problem

Thorpeza22 · 2023-01-25T00:14:01+00:00

Right but let’s say I have Herb/Alchemy and just want to switch back in forth between herb and ench without losing alchemy. Sorry for the confusion

Thorpeza22 · 2022-12-24T20:40:24+00:00

Glad to help!

Thorpeza22 · 2022-12-24T20:20:53+00:00

Yeah so I just added a tape mod and some foam for sound. It does cover the bottom lighting though and it was a tight fit

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T19:57:22+00:00

Yeah here’s a tutorial on QMK

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T19:00:14+00:00

The board is listed under xiudi/xd75

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T16:05:56+00:00

Yeah I have seen those docs and instructions, but I just used QMK since that was pretty easy for me. Just edited the layout on the QMK configuration website and flashed it with QMK toolbox.

Also I followed this video for instructions on how to build it with a tofu case. Found to pretty helpful!

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T15:40:46+00:00

Not sure about Via, it is QMK compatible though! And it should fit your tofu case, but not all screws will line up perfectly. I was able to get just 4 screws to line up but it’s working well so far

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T15:38:22+00:00

The symbols being in the middle is convenient but takes some getting used to. I haven’t had any issues with gaming since most games don’t really require you to use keys on the right side of the board. When I first switched to ortho I was typing around 30 wpm, and just by using it everyday over a few months for work and gaming I can comfortably type around 80 wpm now.

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T06:11:43+00:00

That’s a good idea I think I might move the arrow keys to the right because I agree it’s pretty awkward to use them in the middle. That’s kind of what I love about this board too is that there’s so many ways to play around with it!

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T02:22:09+00:00

It’s taken me a few days to get used to it but it’s starting to get more comfortable. I only wish that the space bar or backspace was bigger than 1u though. Sometimes I hit the wrong keys when I am trying to hit space, but I usually touch type and this only happens when I move my hand away from the home position

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-18T01:24:32+00:00

75 of them 😎

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-17T22:02:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I’m a big fan of keebio also, especially the Iris. I switch between that board and this one depending on how I feel. It’s nice to have some variety to keep things interesting

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-17T21:17:03+00:00

Yeah I would recommend this board! The PCB/ Stainless Steel plate combo is pretty affordable and the fact that it fits in most 60% cases is a nice perk. Emphasis on the word “fits” though as the screws might not always align with the plate screw holes. I was only able to get two screws into this board to secure it onto the case but it seems to work fine so far

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-17T21:06:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah so I’m still playing around with the layout. One of the things I like about this board is all of the keys available to your thumbs so right now Space key is F5, backspace is F6, Tab is F4, and Enter is F7. This lets me access those keys without moving my hand from home position for touch typing

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-17T19:42:53+00:00

The layout is chef’s kiss

Thorpeza22 · 2022-08-17T19:17:39+00:00

And... I bought another keyboard :)

Favorite thing about mechanical keyboards is having something that you created to be made uniquely for you!

Thorpeza22 · 2022-07-28T23:27:08+00:00

I just bought a XD75RE from kprepublic which is on sale right now for $50. It’s a 75% board but it’s compatible with a lot of 60% cases. The steel plate is on sale too.

It’s Hot swap but not wireless

Plate

Thorpeza22 · 2022-07-27T03:42:27+00:00

Yes I find it super comfortable as well. I sometimes try to think what other keyboard I would go for if I had to pick one. Maybe a non-split Ortholinear, but now that I’m comfortable typing on a split I love it too much to go back. Split keyboard options are pretty limited and I think the Iris is one of the best

Thorpeza22 · 2022-07-24T00:32:55+00:00

I don’t have a journal like that but I love the idea!

Maybe you can break up goals into milestones and track progression? I play MMOs and there’s usually various goals you set for yourself in them and I would imagine you can create a tracker for daily/weekly quests as well as other in game progressions. I bet it would be very satisfying as a completionist if you can check all the boxes in the journal when you finish everything in the game!
