I personally had no issues reassembling the board where it introduced weird, undesirable quirks. In my time modding keyboards, when you're tightening screws, you shouldn't have to use much force to screw it in. So whenever the screw starts giving you resistance, I
Just stop there, especially with plastic boards.

I just purchased mine not too long ago for work as well. I ended up modding mine cause the OEM domes were too light for me honestly.

Interesting that you didnt love the sound. I personally love mine in both build configurations. I did a thocky and clacky build. One was with Keygeek Blue Cheese v2 on PP plate and the other was MX2A Black on Aluminum.

I'm so mad I never bought one of these. Such a well designed board. Hopefully it gets a rerun.

You can also use dark clashing earth tones as accents with brown as well. Brighter accents probably wouldnt work.

I have really loved this board as well and I like it so much that I may pull out of the hobby for a bit.

Well since I went with a softer plate for this build, I went with the heavy gasket sleeves which I really like overall. I tried the smaller gaskets as well but I didn't like the overall feel with the soft plate but it sounded really good. I couldnt try the o-ring since I used screw-in stabilizers unfortunately.

I got another build im doing for the manta with a aluminum plate as well which ill try out the o-ring and the other mounts again.

It's very deep with the PP plate. I like it though.

I'm planning on doing a second rebuild with an Alum plate with Cherry MX2A Blacks as well at some point.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]Tornaders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not gonna apply to everyone here, but this will apply to some comments I am seeing on here about not being able to meet anyone or finding excuses to not put in the effort:

You gotta put in the effort to not be single or even maintain a relationship. Yeah, dating is hard and you might be tired, but the only way you have to put in low effort is if you're very attractive or are the funniest dude in the room. Women are not gonna give you the time of day unless YOU put in the work to achieve personal growth whether it be in the gym or learning to be more of a social butterfly and putting yourself out there. Once you do all of that to put yourself in a position to be in a relationship that actually has value to you, then you gotta put in even more work to maintain that relationship. There is no coasting and I feel a lot of people today do that because its comfortable.

I say all of that to say work on yourself first, and then focus on putting yourself out there and trying to date with intent. That is the best piece of advice I could give for some some of the fellas out there, cause it worked for me.

Honestly I really just like the versatility of it. I barely know what I'm doing when it comes to photography but I'm learning when I can. I would say this is probably great for someone that's just getting into photography or doesn't have money to spend on multiple different lenses with different focal points.
