It’s been so cool to watch RCT Discord servers collectively lose their minds over this for the last day lol. Great work dude.

I’m pretty sure I’ve found these on Amazon before. It might be either a newer or older batch though? I’ve also seen clear top with beige housing, once inside a build they should behave identically. I understand if you’d rather not buy from Amazon though.

The idea of what content is "normal" at this point is the wrong way to look at it. The content feed is so slow across all but the most active communities on the most active instances, that treating them as though they've already carved out their niches is just incorrect.

This can be that, there's no reason it can't - it's just the tiny number of posts you're seeing don't have the same representation you might be used to seeing on e.g. /r/mechanicalkeyboards.

If you're just going to lurk and have no interest in posting you might as well just go to instagram and search for keyboard related tags. The content you post doesn't even need to be your own boards, it could just be stuff you like.

This is the biggest keyboard community in the Fediverse right now (but still very small). You can influence it a lot by just posting what you want to see. Boards you have, questions you have, GBs or whatever.

That’s brutal. The gauntlets and the amulet in the archive and the armor on Raphael are three of the absolute best pieces of gear in the game.

I stole half of them by accident without realizing she was in any way connected to the House of Hope, hours earlier. But I never found any letter or anything saying how to use them.

The downtime is causing an issue with posting content from other instances - I've seen this a handful of times from kbin. I post something to a lemmy.world community, and kbin thinks it's there, but lemmy.world doesn't see it. But, the delete request seems to need to go through lemmy.world, which doesn't agree that the content exists. So my profile is filled with posts people on kbin can see, but no one else can, and I can't delete them. Is there any kind of catch-up mechanic for instances to try to agree on what content should be present if content was altered during downtime? I can see this becoming a lot more confusing as people look at a community from multiple different instances and see different content, not realizing this is unintended behavior.

The biggest misconception I've seen on Reddit and elsewhere is that you need an account on every single instance if you want to interact with content on that instance, and it's not supposed to be true but while this bug continues, it kind of is true.

Vancouver, WA/Portland, OR area. Would strongly prefer to do something local, but I can be convinced to ship.

Fully built. Here is a sound test. Currently southpaw config. Typed on a couple times, taken to a few PDXKBC meets. No shine on the caps to speak of. I've discovered I just don't love tactiles as much as I thought and I also have tried and failed to like the 60~65 family of layouts. To my knowledge extras never seemed to materialize for this board.

INCLUDES

  • Metakey Tenet70, aluminum FRL TKL reversible keyboard in Navy

  • Brass weight

  • Hotswap PCB

  • Poron plate foam

  • PC Plate

  • Gateron Blizzard long pole tactile switches

  • GMK Blue Samurai base + novelties (I'll include the entire set, trays, box, everything)

  • Thin top gaskets, thick bottom gaskets

  • Basically, it's the Keybored build

  • TX rev2 1.2mm stabs

  • Carrying case (color matched)

  • Box

  • Spares of everything I didn't use, includes some screws, gaskets, bottom feet, the other version of the JST connector if you want to do normal config, stabilizer shims, basically see the photos

  • The plastic tweezers. You WILL need these if you wanna f*** with the OLED screen.

  • Case foam not currently installed, but included. Didn't find it made any difference.

  • Custom cable stub, made by Mechcables, gold-plated USB-C, uses their blue paracord and blue+gold flex sleeving in to Aviator quick disconnect. You can see it in the sound test.

  • Back of PCB is taped

There is just a hint of green in the anodization layer. It shows a little more indoors than outdoors IMO, or in darker lighting. The ano quality is perfect and the gold just looks amazing.

Asking $600 assembled. $550 if I remove the keycaps and switches.

All the tools designed to discover different communities seem to disagree on what the subscriber counts and activity levels are. The Worldpolitics bin on lemmy.ml is listed as 2.5K some places, 10K some places, but when you go there it has almost no posts despite being the same size as the News bin on beehaw. It's all very odd, hard to know what to "trust" when it comes to finding new, active bins.

KBD67 Lite is super light and has a Bluetooth variant, if you can live with a 65%.

Apparently I had Pro + Ultra, I don't remember how long I had each for. Oh well. I really hope one of the big 3rd party app developers for Reddit turns an eye to Lemmy (or kbin) - this space has real potential and a well-designed app could smooth over some of the current weirdness about discovering other communities in other servers, but the apps are pretty rough.

To my recollection making posts was never locked behind a paywall - I used Apollo for most of its lifespan without paying for it, but did get Apollo Ultra eventually for notifications.
