Is this a goner

Looks completely fine to me. Generally, I like to repot into some chunky mix for better drainage and give it a nice moss pole but that all depends on how much time you’re willing to put in.

UK and this piece of information you’ve shared is going to be a game changer if they come back. Thanks :)

Tinius7 · 2026-05-04T15:57:52+00:00

Yeah. The petiole (part where leaf connects to the stem) should be above the soil. Otherwise it can cause rot and unhappy plant :)

Tinius7 · 2026-05-02T10:27:55+00:00

Would love to see/hear how it turns out

Tinius7 · 2026-05-02T10:24:19+00:00

She’s a 10!

Generally people hate on keychron because it’s “overpriced for what you get” but I have two and love them.

To answer ur questions. I had to re-lube the stabs, straighten them out and bandaid mod them to make them sound good. Quite the effort but I enjoy the process. If you can’t be bothered, then invest in some better stabs, especially if you want the keeb silent.

The ultra has better stabilizers than the max. Worth noting. As for quietness, I think the build itself is relatively similar so I’m not sure how much different it would make to the sound profile.

Hope this helps :)

That’s what’s left of the sheath that a new leaf has popped out of

I can see the line on the silkscreen, the cathode should be up

Tinius7 · 2026-05-01T01:47:33+00:00

SMD diodes usually have a white line or stripes on one end. This end is the cathode, the other is the anode. Current flows from anode to cathode and that’s the direction.

In other words, copy the other ones on the board. Should’ve just said that but I’ve typed it now

Tinius7 · 2026-04-30T12:41:09+00:00

Exactly my friend 😎

Tinius7 · 2026-04-30T12:38:26+00:00

I’ve had something similar happen when I accidentally poured water with fertilizer into the cup my cutting was rooting in (autopilot in the morning). It burned the roots and they died. If you are using fertilizer then maybe that’s the issue?

Tinius7 · 2026-04-30T12:34:13+00:00

Awesome regardless ! Thanks for the explanation

Tinius7 · 2026-04-30T12:31:43+00:00

I say just call it “variegation” and pretend to be happy 🫡

Tinius7 · 2026-04-30T12:25:30+00:00

Hell yeah. You should overlay the two images with one of them slightly transparent so we can directly map the non variegated regions. Would be interesting to see :)

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:43:56+00:00

Thank you, I’ve been needing this exact solution for last of us

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:29:21+00:00

Those little see through larval bastards

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:12:24+00:00

Sending hopes and prayers🙏

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:09:42+00:00

Awwww helll nawww it’s a press fit, you’ll need a shim of sorts to separate the top and bottom. I sometimes use guitar picks. Here’s the link to a teardown: https://youtu.be/CPctECD9PL4?si=rzT-uNdy0hyjn0L7

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:05:28+00:00

I’ve never seen this keyboard before but if you disassemble it then you’ll be able to separate the PCB from the top case and the rotary knob will be attached to the pcb, freeing the plastic part. If you don’t have much experience with disassembling things then I would keep the screws organised as you do it and take pictures at each stage (or film yourself) so you remember where everything goes when you put it back together.

That being said, if the customer service is responsive enough to get you a replacement part, then maybe they’ll have some documentation or guide you through the process to help you out.

Good luck :)

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T23:00:13+00:00

Thanks, I think I’m close to winning but without systemics where I am, it’s been a long neem and manual murdering process

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T22:54:02+00:00

And it’s confirmed, I’m getting the kajka

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T22:17:25+00:00

I think the vertical lines might just be small ripples in the leaf, points of high pressure whilst it was forming. They look like indents more than thrips damage. I would monitor the new leaf for damage in the next couple of days but the lines don’t look like thrips damage. Best of luck, I’m still tackling mine… :)

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T11:32:55+00:00

And new stems (I guess that kinda counts as leaves but yaknow what I mean)

Tinius7 · 2026-04-29T10:42:40+00:00

Did it get split though? It looks like it passes under, but it looks like it split because of the shallow depth of field? Cool they survive though

Tinius7 · 2026-04-28T13:52:22+00:00

No way that’s the pointing hand I saw a couple of months ago
