  1. Fucking tax. Order a cornix on a group buy. They have a white version, a dark metallic version, and orange version. I wanted the dark metallic version so I ordered the color label as silver. I got the email today saying it was shipped out and the picture on the email looks white so I emailed them. Turns out silver actually means white and the one I wanted was somehow called a nebula. First WTF are does name in what fucking planta does dark metallic color can be called nebula (☁️) and white be called sliver. Now because the silver one has shipped I can't change it and because my brain will be forever angry at silver that's actually white I had no choice but to order a fucking nebula one so I can put the universe back in order thanks to my fucking 🧠. 😡, I'm so angry that I'm genuinely considering just melting the silver one that's actually white with 🔥 when it gets here

  2. It occurs to me that if I’d listened accepting the inevitable and just gone straight to a Corne I would have saved myself much money.

  8. Evolving your setup — which way to go?

    Small tweaks often beat full rebuilds: a riser, a module, or a different size can refine your keyboard without starting over.

    Tech setups are never truly finished — they evolve with you. The journey > arrival. ⚙️✨

  11. finally popped dark magician on my keeb 💜. and swapped out switches with some extra sp star magical girls and neapolitan ice creams. i like having my sofle cause i can more easily fill the board with switches and not feel like i need to drop money on a full 100 switches. the two different switches compliment each other nicely, so ive got the magical girls on the main typing rows and the neapolitans around the perimeter

  12. A cleaner setup, built with intention. 🧩

    The UHK 60 is about stripping things back to the minimal — removing what’s unnecessary, then using modularity only to add what’s truly needed.

  15. I made a thing: a tool that allows programmable keyboards to send arbitrary Unicode characters. I created this mainly for myself, but I'm curious to know if there are other persons on this planet that could use it, so here it is:

    Because you didn't ask, here's my story. 😉

    Ever since I bought a split ergonomic keyboard (2008, Kinesis Advantage 2), I have used an English keyboard layout at work despite being German and working in Germany. I think that for my field (software development), English layouts are just superior to the German one(s).

    Still, I also need German umlaut characters for emails and chats in German. Back then I only used Windows at work, so using some Microsoft tool I created a custom keyboard layout. It mapped Ctrl-Alt-A to the letter ä, for example. The problem was that (some) software would still receive the Alt key and for example open its menu. So I built a script with AutoHotkey that handled these keypresses and that worked better. I installed the script on the work and home PCs, and when I got a new keyboard (2023, MoErgo Glove80) I started using it both at work and at home.

    Fast forward to last year, when I started at a new company, and my department there does not use Windows but Linux - yay! However, that meant my AutoHotkey scripts no longer worked. 😢

    I could probably have fiddled with xkb and things, but I really wanted _one_ solution that works on Linux and Windows. After several experiments (different approaches with XCompose/WinCompose and 'misusing' the Espanso text expander), a few months ago I finally decided I need to write my own software. And as of this week, it's not only good enough for daily use, but also published and installable by anyone! 🎉

    Thanks for reading this far. Let me know if you're one of the maybe 10 to 100 persons in the world who have some use for this software. 🙂
