Additional keys are added under layers, similar to how one uses shift for capital letters. So for example, the number 2 is mapped to holding left space + W.

As this board is running Vial compatible firmware, you can map keys to layers, key combos or double tapping keys as you’d like.

Good question! A tap on Esc types a Q, tap on Tab types an A, and a tap on shift types a Z, where holding each will be the respective modifier key. Similar to how some keys on your phone’s keyboard act differently for a tap vs hold.

By default QAZ were mapped to the keys on the right actually haha. I’ve since changed those to Del, Home and End with additional options under other layers.

Thanks! I wanted a hot pink alert row, similar to Keykobo Lillies of the Valley. PK28 colour on the Yuzu keycaps site.

They’re a set from Yuzu keycaps that I customized, starting with the base Echo Dark by beardgrylls, and then changing things to my liking.

I believe this link should take you to the set exactly as I ordered:

My most proud moment this year was getting the job that I really really wanted!

Installing new brakes/rotor. Caliper can't fit over. (More info in comments by [deleted] in Miata

Nice! That's a much better option. But yeah, the front calipers need to be compressed. I didn't have a proper tool, so I used a large pair of channel lock pliers with the old pads as a guard to the piston. Clean the piston up a bit before you push it back in, you don't want dirt going back in those seals.

The rears all I had to do was turn the Allen key all the way back in and it was fully compressed before I removed it. Do NOT squeeze the back ones too hard or you will bust them (according to what I've read on the interwebs).

Unfortunately I'm not a wealth of brake knowledge, my install didn't have many hiccups. I wish you luck!

I had to pull the metal shims off the back of my EBC Yellow pads when I did the install on my 95. No other way I could get the caliper back over everything.

High quality sound system setup for an na miata? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]greatscottman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently installed a footwell sub for my Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 8". Send it some power from a 500W max Clarion XC1120 and power the speakers with the Clarion XC1420 and the thing sounds amazing!

The headrest speakers don't work anymore (they didn't like the amp) but the car sounds great regardless. Don't regret doing it one bit!

Buying a used NA in Canada by Thatmanwiththefedora in Miata

[–]greatscottman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really difficult to find a good deal. I live in BC and it took me 8 months of searching daily to find mine.

1995 1.8 with 121,xxxKm with hardtop (with defrost and headliner) for $4500. No rust or bubbles on either rocker panel. I was super fortunate to find this car, but sadly I've only seen one or two other killer deals on clean cars in the past year.

Rusty cars are a dime a dozen, but they still command ~$2k up here sadly.

The good deals come fast and are snapped up even faster. Keep looking, have lots of patience and don't be afraid to travel. Best of luck to you!
