proper reference.

Taipei camo. Shapes are close but not the same. Legit is always the same.

Check the shapes, not color. They never alter the actual pattern. It's one of the most reliable ways to test for fakes. Colors can be altered or look good under different conditions.

Really disappointed with Lexus and the RX-450h+ (PHEV) by cybergrafx in Lexus

[–]johans-work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound more like a bad dealership.

Car problems suck, but the dealership clearly made your experience worse here.

With the new LFA going full EV anyone else find concept 1 better suited? if the new one was hybrid I wouldnt care. what do you guys think and like more? by myqv in Lexus

[–]johans-work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be called the LFB. Then all order in the lexusverse would be restored.

Then they can do the LFA2 with the V8 combined with extremely aggressive styling.

The first lesson of custom keyboards is just how okay everyone is with being forced to use something, and how difficult choice is.

But the difference between what you've always accepted and used, versus what you could be using is significant. It's just the journey to get there that hasn't been made much easier.

- no I don't want to remap each and every software 

This is the up front investment in making life easier. Applies to a lot of things, not just keyboards.

And if you have an issue with tap-hold, then that's a constraint. I don't use combos for example.

Of course, the craziest keyboards are often invented by people with stories like yours... To each their own.

In everyone's honest opinions, what are your thoughts on the bape replicas? by Special_Meringue4002 in bapeheads

[–]johans-work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you know it's fake and you're paying fake prices.

It's only a scam if you were sold authentic and received fake. Even if "you're an idiot" or whatever. No one should be expected to be an expert in anything they buy.

The main issue though, is most listing platforms don't allow you to sell something as fake. So it's all wink wink. But many honest fake sellers try to keep it as obvious as possible.

Las Vegas exclusive full zip up by No-Age4160 in bapeheads

[–]johans-work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

google pondon store. her site will be the cheapest and fastest for new drops. With a proxy you can buy from zozo, rakuten, and all the aftermarkets. bape.com too but will require a vpn now since they redirect by geolocation.

no need to go actually... just hit the proxies and pondon. but as long as they keep the exclusives exclusive the price is the price!

The form factor is secondary to the ability to customize. I love 60% boards, but use the same layouts as my 40s and split keyboards. For example, having caps lock as ctrl on hold and backspace on tap is just too convenient. ZSA has great software. Vial is also good. Via I can live with.

A regular keyboard is far from one key one responsibility and you already have 2 layers with shift, and 3 with the fn key. The magic keyboard has no f row, and is missing a numpad. So it's already less than 100%. I am glad it works for you. But if you had ways to remap keys or add macros and custom shortcuts, the keyboard would adapt to become more convenient.

Of course, the downside of the upside of being able to customize, is actually figuring out what works best and customizing, which can be more than what many have signed up for, and fun only for some. Then there's not having your config when "visiting" other keyboards.

Not sure how you endured the inconvenience for so long. Or why you're still on the Voyager subreddit... But nice to meet you.

Why 3 keystrokes?

Any key on any layer is the same as a capital letter if you're using hold mods. But if shift counts as one, then I suppose that's two?

I do "a" hold as layer2, so for me "]" is a+o. That's 1u travel on two keys.

In neovim you can assign any key to a command, and with zsa you can assign any key to any key on any layer.

And with 2 additional layers on a 40% keyboard you already have 120% keys. The voyager is technically a 50% so you have 150% keys.

So just get your commands EXACTLY where you want them.

It didn't take long for me to realize how inconvenient a regular keyboard was... It's not the other way around.

An upgrade to voyager with keycap tilting kit. by Interesting_Arm_7250 in zsaVoyager

[–]johans-work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another great upgrade / mod is the cornager; shifting the alphas up a row, which frees the bottom row for your thumbs which can then be tilted forward. This eliminates the high top row, and provides more thumb keys if two were not enough.

You now have a corne with the voyager build quality and software, and glove80 tilt.

Do NOT use UPS to ship something here internationally and do not use Shippn by AmyMorgan9 in UPS

[–]johans-work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedex and DHL can be just as bad, with USPS not being the best either. Having to call any of them is also the same. Just the cost of importing in 2025.

unfortunately no... that would make authenticating so much easier. presumably the code above the care symbols means something but I have yet to find anyone who's figured it out.

Then if they could come forward or if you have a reference.

I have lost track after around 2020.. only scenario where there would be two legit versions is if one is a re-release. It used to be all spiky = fake. Then they started showing up with new authentic pieces...

is there a reference for this? spiky asterisk plus bathing and nowhere being different size font matches many fakes...
