  1. Things that are awesome: buckling spring keyboards. Decided it was time to clean the keycaps so pulled them all off, tossed them into the ultrasonic cleaner, heated the water to about 55C, added a few drops of dish soap, and let them clean for about 15 minutes.

    Removed the keycaps, blew them off with my Wolfbox blower, then eventually installed them back into the keyboard. It's nice to have the keyboard clean and clicky. Also: installing buckling spring keycaps is a pain in the ass.

  8. so i have been using my #unicomp model m after using my #hhkb for ages with my laptop and in many ways its a nicer experience. sometimes i miss the dedicated arrow keys. however. my model m is iso uk layout, the same as my laptop. but i have gotten really used to the hhkb american layout.
    things like the escape key being closer, the backspace being above the enter, control on caps lock (by default, i use software to rebind it on my built in laptop keyboard and my unicomp).

  18. Anyone got a newer unicomp "Mini M" (tenkeyless/space saver) board than mine? Wondering if they're still just sawing down full-size barrel plates and leaving one side of the plate exposed/opened.
    (The serial number on mine is 0001034, from 7 June 2021)
    I don't think it's gonna be a problem, I just still find it somewhat amusing that unicomp did that. I'd kind of suspected they would.
