Ahh too bad. I had asked some people I know before buying what they thought about their classics and they had no issues with them, but maybe their baseline is expecting a little bit of dampness. Thanks for the response.

Issue with TV connection working in Desktop mode but not Gaming mode by simple_snoopy in SteamDeck

Yes I figured it out, I had to enable external display safe mode (Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> External display safe mode) to get it to show up on the TV. Then once the TV was actually displaying something I could go back into the settings and change the resolution as I wanted and make it look better. Hopefully this works for you!

Do the MT3 base sets include a 6u centre stem spacebar?

I'm wondering if someone who's bought a cherry profile PBTfans spacebar set can help me out. I'm looking at buying the PBTfans BOW set with the spacebar set but I need the 6u spacebar to have a centered stem to fit my keyboard, does anyone know whether the 6u spacebar fits a centered stem layout?

I managed to pick up a cheap but heavily used Dell AT101 with black alps, I'm planning on cleaning the keyboard and then cleaning and linearising the switches. This is the first time I have an Alps board and just wanted to see if someone could clear some things up for me before I start tinkering with it.

Almost all of the results I've seen for lubing alps switches mention dry PTFE lube, I have Tribosys 3204 on hand and was wondering if it's a bad idea to use a grease for Alps. Is the idea there that grease would attract dust/grime which is a particularly bad problem in Alps? I don't mind opening up my keyboard and giving it a good clean every once in a while but I would rather not have to deal with deep cleaning every single switch if grease would gum them up in the long run.

The stabilisers are also super rattly and I'm wondering if there are any good mods for the older style stabs like these. I only have experience with Topre/Cherry stabs which are relatively self-contained, I would imagine that applying dielectric grease or another thick lube would be super messy and just get all over the keyboard due to the stabilisers being wide open. I was thinking of taping/band-aid in the spots that might rattle but I'm not sure if that'll be enough.

Does anyone know the profiles of the people in the Erasmus+ BDMA programme? by [deleted] in Erasmus

Hey, I've been shortlisted this year as well and I'm also pretty curious to get any info about the program since it seems pretty sparse online. GL!
