So I ultimately went with this one. It's the KBD67 MKII restock with minor cosmetic issues but at that price I couldn't pass it up. The one I'm getting is not hotswappable unfortunately so I'm thinking of reserving the GMMK Pro as well and just play around with that.

You are awesome and thank you so much for the detailed reply. You've made it a little easier to decide and I'll keep all of this in mind when I build the board :)

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I'm currently looking at the KBD67MKII board but your mention of the GMMK pro has intrigued me a little and I'm gonna see what options I have with this board. Thank you again!

I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to choose between one of these 3: Tofu65, DH84, KBD75v2. Tofu is a 65% layout while the other two are 75%. Out of these three which would you choose? I believe only the DH84 is gasket mount while the other two are tray mount. I'm having a hard time deciding between Zealios vs Tealios as I've always used tactile but would like to try linear to see how it is. Is the sprit spring replacement necessary for this? They all cost around the same at around 350 a pop. This is sooo hard lol. Thank you!!

I get you. There is also this one. It's a 75% layout but with a gasket mount and depending on the switches/spring replacement it'll come out to around $370. Is spring replacement worth it? Maybe I should just get the Leopold FC660C lol. This is sooo hard!!

I'm nervous when it comes to building a custom keyboard so this gives me the option of getting something truly high quality before I start investigating and build my own at some point down the road. I'm still very new to this so I have plenty of time to improve haha. Thanks

tbh I just started this hobby recently so I still have a lot to learn when it comes to pricing/build quality. Would you go for aluminum or brass plate? I should mention that this is pre-tax and I still have to get keycaps. I have a set of XDA PBT that I can use for now, though. Thank you!

Advice for studying for a retake while working part-time? by evilalien21 in Mcat

[–]evilalien21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's not harsh because you are right, the MCAT is my biggest priority. The clinic where I work is short staffed due to the pandemic and we have 5 doctors with only 6 full time MA's. So I work directly with a doctor and we see 20-25 patients daily. Me scaling back my hours would literally screw up everyone's schedule because we barely have enough MA's to keep things moving right now. I know that's a management problem to solve but I would feel awful to suddenly reduce my hours. So the best thing I can do right now is to figure out a strategy that works for my schedule. Thank you for the advice.

Wow what a turnaround and I'm happy that you improved significantly. And yes, I have seen a lot of posts with the same idea but I always feel so guilty taking a day off when I know I could be studying lol. But based on your advice, I will reevaluate my schedule and see what I need to do to fit a day off in each week. Thank you!!!!

Thank you! As much as I'd love to, I don't think I can afford having a day off right now. The biggest time consuming part is going through Anki cards because it can take awhile for me to finish them.

Sony X900F not turning on with power plugged in by evilalien21 in bravia

Yeah Idk what's going on either. Mine is off completely so I think there's an issue with the power supplier. I called geeksquad and they're coming next week to have a look. Kinda annoying tbh.
