deskthority

My opinion is they are lasered. It would be impressive if they were dye-subbed because of the sharpness and fineness of the legends.

I don't think I have ever in my life used the pause or scroll lock keys. What do you guys use them for that's so critical?


Rare use case, but I use Pause to enter a command layer on my desktop configuration (i3) and Scroll Lock as a compose key. I actually have a macro set in QMK to output ...

If you want avoid bottom out on linears, you might want to look into progressive or slow curve springs. They are both designed for typing without bottoming out, or at least to reduce harshness of ...

If you were going with light full-travel linears I would recommend Cherry Silent (damped) Reds over the normal ones. The silent dampeners on the stem make for a much more cushioned bottom out, but probably not as cushioned as the Topre domes you've been using. How do you feel about a split board? I ...
