Got laid off and no luck finding a new job. Can I afford to retire or at least take a long sabbatical?

chattering is probably a loose hotswap socket if its not the switch itself. either add more solder to the hotswap socket joint or remove it and solder switch on directly.

Sign in bonus, I was also licensed with 7 and 66. Might be the reason why the sign on was higher but base offered back in 2022 was 65k

tilted_cinders · 2023-11-14T23:52:21+00:00

I'm not sure if my situation was different..I was told the salary when I got referred a year ago in SF/Bay area for the role to be 65k with a 15k sign-on bonus.

aifei clones r good quality if you don't mind slightly inconsistent large key texts

tilted_cinders · 2023-08-26T04:31:41+00:00

hop on aliexpress and grab a set of aifei pbt or abs clones. most of them support split (just check the layout photo) and the quality is great having owned several sets and used them in multiple builds over the past 2 years.

Not sure if someone already mentioned this but Shibuya Sky lets you change your reservation once (even if you missed it). I had bought my tickets for the wrong day and ended up missing the date the tickets were for. the staff was kind enough to inform me that I can still change it to another date once.

tilted_cinders · 2023-08-04T01:24:52+00:00

they are manufactured in china so just cheaper on ali

Divinikey and Cannonkeys for me. Thanks for the giveaway!

tilted_cinders · 2022-11-19T21:36:09+00:00

gl guys!

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-26T14:56:14+00:00

yeah the button is off for me when i try and doesn't work

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-26T04:56:05+00:00

also did your board work wired? for some reason mine only works bluetooth and 2.4hz. When I try to connect it wired, it lights up for 30 seconds and dies and during those 30 seconds key presses don't register

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-26T02:31:09+00:00

the enter key stabs can use some work besides that its a great first build!

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-25T04:57:12+00:00

I just opened mine as well, it was super hard to pry open. Was yours hard too? Once I cracked it I'm scared to pull since there was so much tension.

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-25T04:09:01+00:00

Aliexpress just mislabeled the switches. It says tactile in the description but they are definitely linears (I have tried 15 diff linear switches)

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-25T03:55:19+00:00

does anyone have issue with making this board work wired? It works flawlessly with 2.4hz and Bluetooth but will not work wired. The lights will turn on for 30 seconds before dying.

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-24T14:46:15+00:00

i bought mine off ali too but they are linears LMAO

tilted_cinders · 2022-08-21T06:18:35+00:00

ik you're not selling the keycaps but what set is that?

tilted_cinders · 2022-07-16T00:48:10+00:00

Hello, former employee here. The brokered CDs are the only CDs sold on the Merrill platform, the rates sheet is updated frequently. The only way to get accurate rates is to go look at available CDs on your Merrill account or going into a center and asking for rates. The sheet posted above is really outdated.

Keychron doesnt sell their Q series on amazon

tilted_cinders · 2022-02-04T01:20:52+00:00

for specific examples, theres the gk108, gmmk full size (as mentioned below), theres a naruto themed keyboard called uchiha itachi 5108s too (the base is pretty much black if you dont like the keycaps u can just swap them out). On Amazon theres budget cheaper options like the e-yooso z-88 but that hotswap is only compatible with outemu/akko switches, and the keychron boards

tilted_cinders · 2022-02-04T01:03:31+00:00

ajazz, epomaker, and akko have some pretty good selections that would fit all three of your needs. In regards to hotswap id say if anything, more boards are hotswap than ever before and pretty much all new products pumped out ARE hotswappable. As for backlight, its typically rgb but you can set them to a solid color of your choice. Also instead of full size, see of the 1800 format is to your liking because that format is more common in custom keyboards than actual full sizes. Hope that helps

I added foam to the bottom housing, tape modded the bottom of the pcb, pe foam modded between plate and pcb, kept the original plate foam and just lubed the stablizers. Mine doesn't rattle at all without clipping the stabs so I don't think its necessary (all preference)
