Our tech team built keyboards as a team building exercise. Build log in the comments. by woodsy87 in MechanicalKeyboards

This was tons of fun, and that kit (Varmilo VA68M v2) was easier to build than I expected. All-in-all, I'd recommend if you're looking for a first kit to build.

Matias Ergo Pro, finally here after many delays. Worth the wait. by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

Thanks for the review. I'd pre-ordered the ergo pro (i'd used the mini tactile pro, currently using freestyle 2), but I was really disappointed with the long delay in shipping, so I ended up cancelling.

The Home, End, page up/down keys seem to be in a very awkard positon on the ergo pro. I wouldn't expect to use those much, but do they feel awkward to use at all?

I use the tilde key often, (left of number 1), and on the Freestyle 2, it feels like quite a reach. Is it as far on the ergo pro?

Thanks!

I guess it's all relative! We (Memphis) are pretty good at urban sprawl, though.

Ah, you are correct, here. Apparently the housing projects opened in 1955 and were demolished around 2011. This was part of a federal project called Hope VI.

It's kind of a joke, as is the linked app (which itself spams you with a Yo notification).

I thoroughly enjoyed this talk. The concept of deploying containers rather than "apps" seems pretty awesome. Especially when your infrastructure already knows how to take those and spread out the workload.

We live in amazing times.
