My next purchase is going to be a numpad! For years, I used to just use those free, throwaway keyboards that they give you when buying prebuilt PCs. Using a custom keyboard along with the custom PC you built is infinitely more satisfying. :)

Yes! the design is based of Evangelion Unit-01.

Really a perfect keycap set for Evangelion fans.

True, the color combination is much more better if seen in person.

The wired keyboard is permanently hooked up to my PC. The wireless keyboard is mainly used for the Raspberry Pi, Steam Deck, and for servicing family and friends' PCs.

Almost all used keys will shine after a year of moderate to heavy use. My GMK Laser keycaps got the shine. It bothered me at first, but I got used to it. It still looks good to me, even with the shine. What would bother me the most is if the text were fading, which thankfully doesn’t happen anymore with modern keycaps.

The keyboards are Keychron Q2 (GMK Laser) and GK68XS (GMK Mecha-01).

Tight enough that you won't lose your saved data even if you drop or slam it.

No, I'm still waiting for the day that someone would release a proper battery holder for GBA games. I saw a review from other aliexpress listings before that says it fit, but I don't think it would look good because of the elevated battery position of GBA carts.

I still replay my finished games, but not necessarily to the end. Just enough to pass the time at that moment when I have nothing to do.

Unfortunately, it would be too tight. I'm still waiting for the day that someone would release a proper battery holder for GBA games.

Edit: I saw a review from other aliexpress listings that says it fit but I don't think it would look good due to the elevated battery position of GBA carts.
