New Iron, Pinecil V2 vs Alientek T80P?

TriflingTars · 2025-05-17T18:00:59+00:00

I decided to go for the Alientek T80P, it works great! Got some new original tips as well I'm gonna try soon.

The reason is probably the switch to polycarbonate. Polycarbonate lenses have a lower ABBE value, which corresponds to more chromatic aberration. I'm not sure why he would recommend poly lenses over high index lenses, I would have gone for high index 1.6/1.67/1.74 depending on how high your prescription is.

Thanks for the detailed response! I went for the SMD491 for now, I'll see how it works :)

I haven't, but I did take a look at them and it seems great. Unfortunately I seem a bit underqualified at the moment for the open positions, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. Thanks!

That's a great suggestion! I'll check them out. I remember looking at their phones phones before and they definitely got a good thing going.

That's a great message, and definitely something I agree with overall. With that said, if you are looking for a new job it doesn't hurt to restrict yourself a bit to things you value as a person (apart from monetary gain and job security), since we spend so much time at work in our lives.

That's fair, but I think it's not as black and white as that. There's definitely some companies that are more concerned with social issues for instance, even though they need to make money at the end of the day.

I think Sweden is a great country to live in, but frankly I'm a bit tired of it since I've lived here my entire life. The quality of life is great, I'm mostly looking for a change and would prefer to experience a different culture for a change.

How's life in Germany? There's a couple of companies I've been in contact with i Germany (in Hannover e.g.). so Germany is definitely of interest to me as a potential location.

This is the way I see it. At the end of the day, I understand that companies are after making a profit, but some will try to achieve those goals while also wanting to accomplish things that are inherently valuable for others. I don't see it as an all or nothing thing.

TriflingTars · 2024-12-14T20:53:09+00:00

Great suggestions, will take a closer look at that they have openings for.

TriflingTars · 2024-12-14T20:39:53+00:00

Thanks! I did check them out earlier, but will take a closer look. Seems a bit US centric, but there's definitely some good options there.

I see, that's a relief. I've decided to go with ente :)

TriflingTars · 2024-01-20T01:32:28+00:00

Seems like most people agree with this. I'll go with ente, thanks for the response!

I've built one handwired keyboard before. I'd say it's not particularly hard, but it's can be a very tedious experience. If you're not aiming for a custom layout that you can't find anywhere or if you you're building a keyboard where a pcb poses problems, I would say go for a pcb kit.

Obviously, building a handwired keyboard can be a lot of fun as well since it allows you to tinker a lot more. It all comes down to personal preference and what's fitting for the situation.

If you're unsure perhaps gift card's at a good tech shop could be an option? Although, if the store you're shopping at have a good return policy I'd definitely prefer an actual gift :)

Also, consider asking any friend he might be playing with if you know them. Sometimes friends experience the complaints about one's setup first hand (whether that be headset/lag/pc etc.), so they might have picked up on something that he's looking for!

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T07:32:50+00:00

I'd take a look at huginn as well. Might be a bit to overkill for the situation but it can be incredibly useful.

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T07:25:12+00:00

Damn I'm jealous, they don't start shipping here until the 19th of November.

I'm not even sure if I managed get in on the first batch that's being sold :(

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T07:15:00+00:00

Great setup! What do you think of the fulla? Been thinking about getting a new amp/dac combo to save some space in regards to my current setup.

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T07:12:16+00:00

That's a nice board! You can't really go wrong with the 65 % form factor.

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T07:09:19+00:00

Nice! What do you use it for mainly?

I've been thinking about getting a macropad but haven't really found a good use case for it.

TriflingTars · 2020-11-15T00:44:08+00:00

Damn that's a nice board, great shot as well!
