  6. In a gripping exposé, a keyboard hoarder regales us with not one, not two, but *fifty* keyboards! 🎹💾 Because nothing screams "celebration" like a tedious scroll through dusty keys and clacky switches. Truly, an edge-of-your-seat adventure for the two people who care. 🤓🔑

  7. The kid loves the #Monsgeek M3W (4.7lb CNC lilac aluminum) keeb I bought him! #Ducky SA Afterglow should look amazing on it. Also: #Bsun Sakura silent switches. #Mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys #eighteen

  8. Yeah, my desk is messy. Yeah, I did have to pixelate some of the more important junk on my desk, but hey I'm getting important work done here on my wife's TV pilot.

  10. Of course, I have to give a little typing demonstration. :TamakoEhehe:​:TamakoPray:​

    I love the sound 👀

    EDIT: Obviously this is an amateur recording with my phone, I don't have a tripod or whatever, and I wanted to demonstrate normal typing as much as possible, so my hand blocks the view a bit

  11. I don't know if I mentioned it already or not, but I got a new keyboard today - it's pretty old, but it's new-old stock! The guy who I got it from still has some left here, if anyone is interested - a few Swedish keyboards and one Spanish keyboard left.

    It's a Televideo DEC-style keyboard with Space Invader/Angry Bear switches - they are the two-eyed white slider linear variants. They are pretty nice linear switches with a stiff weighting (think of Cherry MX Black for a modern comparison). Nice and smooth, with a REALLY nice sound. I'm not the biggest fan of linear switches, though; let alone stiff linear switches. Plus pulling keycaps off of this keyboard is an exercise in caution - one wrong move with a wire puller and you pull off both the cap AND the slider - and risk damaging the very fragile contacts (DO NOT ASK ME HOW I KNOW :MochizouNotLikeThis:, thank god I got off pretty lucky and could re-bend the contacts with tweezers)

    The layout might look both familiar and also weird (even ignoring the Spanish layout) - it's a terminal keyboard from what I understand, but the DEC layout is what popularized the modern "inverted T" shape for the arrow keys on today's keyboards, before the Model M made it widespread.

    Furthermore, this being a terminal keyboard means I need to get a special converter for this keyboard (it has a PS/2 plug, but it DOES NOT work via a regular PS/2 port on a computer). I ordered a custom converter that might work off of eBay; I'll probably make a sequel post with my results. It was hard to find decent information about it - I had to dive through Github, as well as a Discord server for a forum (make of that what you will) for info; but there are firmwares of TMK/QMK/VIA/Vial out there that should work with this keyboard for the people who know how to make it themselves.
