Pretty bad take but I’ll bite. Reds aren’t mushy unless you are talking about silent reds, but they are still a cleaner keystroke than membrane.

Calling a company a scam because a cable they didn’t make failed outside of their return window. We aren’t going to start witch hunts on this subreddit. Removed.

I will be continuing the Nebula project, where it ends up landing for vendors is undecided at the moment. Prevail is working to ensure that all future runs will need my approval since it won’t be with Prevail obviously.

Fun fact: Candy Corn Clack was one of the first artisans to sell above $300 aftermarket. GeekHack went nuts.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Alice Layout seems poorly thought out? by Jazzlike_Spite2458
As someone who teaches technology you are wrong. There is no touch typing standard. Obviously the majority of keys have specific touch typing rules. All of the programs I’ve reviewed for our school district (6 or 7) all of them taught b as an either hand key and the vast majority taught 6 as a left hand press. So it sounds like you really don’t know what you are talking about. But what else is new looking at every one of your posts :).

Holy fuck you are toxic. There is no place for shitty misogynists here. Take your trash back to Andrew Tate’s comment section.

Reply to comment by Zev in KEYBOARD EMERGENCY! Need advice for what to do when keyboards are filled with water... by Zev
Yeah no problem, your best bet is to get the pcbs dry as soon as possible. The alcohol will help evaporate any water trapped where you can’t see it.

Reply to KEYBOARD EMERGENCY! Need advice for what to do when keyboards are filled with water... by Zev
I’m leaving this up as it’s no ordinary help request.
If it were my boards, the first thing I would do is drain them like you did and pull them apart, removing keycaps, and pcbs from cases. Keycaps and cases should be fine just dried off. Now if any are hotswap, take the switches off and inspect to see if any water got in them, hopefully the keycaps acted as little umbrellas and you’ll be alright. The pcbs I would take some very high percentage isopropyl alcohol and wipe down as much as possible. The alcohol should make the majority of the water evaporate and then by wiping them down you are removing any deposits left by the possibly hard water. I would do this asap and then one more time about 24 hours later just to be safe. I’d wait another two days to plug them in, making sure they are super dry.

That’s my only worry with older boards that I have is PCBs. Luckily most of my older boards use Hiney pcbs and there are tons of those.

1.2OG is a super cool board. One of the few matrix designs that I do like. Good choice. Were you able to pick up any extra PCBs from the Hoodrow buy?

That's not true at all. The majority of things have bounced back to some degree yes, but I was referring to shipping, which is still an issue, and the fact that China still has strict lock down protocols that stop production constantly, that's the whole reason there are riots right now and protests right now. You're adding nothing of value to this conversation. What do you even mean by take this for granted? What else are GB runners supposed to base their timelines off of?

Clones are in every space and it's because China doesn't regulate anything when it comes to IP infringement or copyright. Clones are bad, period. End of story.

That’s not my place to say. Obviously any delay is unacceptable for you, so you should stick to instock buys from now on. I’m fine waiting until the product is done right given that I get clear communication throughout the process.

They give estimates not deadlines. You’re taking an estimate and applying the term deadline to it.

No you are buying understanding that the delivery of them is dependent on GMK’s ability to produce them. It’s an understood part of the hobby. Look at this link for a current gmk group buy. https://mechsandco.com/products/gb-gmk-beige-addon-extension
It states you understand that shipping is an estimate and can be extended. This is what you agree to when purchasing. There is even a whole section on group buys.

I’m not going through 10 years of GH posts. You’re buying them from a runner knowing they are at the mercy of GMK lead times. How are you going to blame the runner when GMK changes the deliverable time. That’s not the runners fault. You’re holding runners accountable for manufacturers short comings. It’s unreasonable.

GMK generally doesn’t require prototypes because they already have the tooling. There aren’t very many through Covid, but that’s at no fault of the runners, pre Covid there definitely were GBs that stuck to their deadlines and estimates.

You joined a group buy that had no prototype or proof of concept, which means the runner had no example in hand. This is usually a red flag and signals that you shouldn’t join the group buy. You chose to take that risk.
