Welcome to the site and nice hwbot! Glad to have you on the team!

Royal Kludge RK100 and CM Mastermouse MM520 representing

Hey guys I'm thrilled, I got my EHW desk mat today. Quality is amazing and I flattened out the one edge that was curling under and it is now perfectly flat first day without needing to put a book on it for a week like I did with my last one. Sitting good next to my Royal Kludge RK100 and CM Mastermouse MM520. Fair warning, this thing is very large! I didn't need to set monitor legs on top of my old one, this one I did. Width is roughly the same but depth/Y axis is much larger than most deskmats.

Alright I had my second hip surgery on Thursday, this time on the right. Pain post op was really bad like the car ride home, and my leg (front thigh) where they opened it up. Getting out of thd car was a b----. Also, had severe difficulty sleeping that night and had to take Benadryl (which I had quit) as well as other things to finally fall asleep at 3:30am. I sleep falling asleep on my back and wake up usually on the right side. Problem with that is, I have a brace I have to wear 24/7 for at least a month and being right sided, prevents me from laying on that side. However, last nights sleep was better and I slept in til 11am. Anyway, I am getting around fine just like the last time, supposed to be using crutches but I'm not :x Just taking smaller strides and keeping my weight on the left leg. I start PT on Tuesday which will be a strength/movement radius evaluation and then the next one will be actual exercises. Supposed to go for 5 months. Last time only did 3 and am still having relatively bad left side hip pains so I aim to follow through this time for the next 5 months. A lot of hip exercises work both hips at once, nature of the beast so I'm optimistic and looking forward to this helping. Hope everyone else here is pain-free or at least tolerating well. Regards guys.

Befote I had my 4090, I had 2x EVGA 1080ti ftw3. Each one was good for about 2mil ppd a day.

Not marked but it's two pounds. To use it up before it goes bad or loses flavor, I'll probably switch to this from French vanilla every morning.

Yeah, this makes total sense with the 3xxx and 4xxx from Nvidia being such good folders with way less power consumption. This is cool even if the ppd is out of date. Looks close to my fiancee's 3060. Hat's off to you man, keep it up!

Yeah, the right shift on the Mini Cat 64 is not half size, it's single key sized.

Yeah, my fiancee uses right shift a lot and had to adjust XD she did eventually though and if I recall, her Mini Cat 64 has a half size right shift or possibly no right shift and she used that for a year straight no problem.

I'm a peon and don't build boards by buying the case and pcb and putting those together before putting in switches and keycaps. The first custom board I did was a GMMK full size with Box Jades. I added crafter's foam on the inside and a weight to make it more substantial and eliminate the metal clank sound it had stock with switches. Mine came with Gateron Brown switches and the stock keycaps, I feel it was easier and more convenient to just pull keycaps off and pull switches out, then put in the switches it's going to have and the keycaps. I also don't like or understand the appeal of waiting for years for stuff from Drop or wherever else when I can buy numerous boards off Amazon that are now already multi layered and packed with foam and weights. See the Keynovo/Yunzii if98 I just built for the fiancee for Xmas. Here's a link to it: Yunzii If98 We actually got the board for $90 on sale. So I appreciate the way you approach the hobby and your patience, but there's some really really good hot swappable boards on Amazon now. I don't have the patience though I could probably build a board from a case and add the pcb and stabs and everything. Here's how my fiancees build turned out. I also have no clue other than the links you posted where people get stuff or find out about the expensive boards, switches and keycaps. Building a custom one off Amazon or a Keychron already costs over $200.

This was a cool read and I'm envious of the older server hardware. Is this thing still in use?

If you have any boards you don't need, I'll take them, and some tactile switches to put in

*Raises hand to buying Amazon PBT keycaps, usually character themed* *Also raises hand to only buying Kailh box clicky switches* You seem very knowledgeable but I won't lie, your posts are like Chinese to me. A bunch of switches and stuff I've never heard of

It'd be pretty great if dye sub were an option for hoodies as well. I would think they'd be popular and sell well for you too. I know more then one person has said they want one. I guess let us know here if you work on it and come up with something sellable by testing it and so on. Thanks.

Hey E any chance of hoodies anytime soon?

Thanks again, E.

Thanks E! I'll be getting a black one for sure and replace my current desk mat

We looked on Amazon and you can get those vacuum seal containers for a lot less, unless there's something else that makes the one you linked special. All our coffee is ground and most is stored in the fridge. Heathens that we are. My looseleaf tea is all stored in bags in a cupboard though. But there's really nowhere else here to put the coffee.

Most people here have a preference for clicky, me included, but tactiles redeem you Welcome to the club. I'm not a big tactile fan from trying Gateron Browns, but I'm curious/interested in Kailh Box Royals.

Linear eh? We don't like your kind around here.

Nice! What type of switches in each? I love the red one.

Hey @Slaughtahouse We store our coffee in the fridge, my mom had always done it this way because she thinks it keeps it more fresh. I am wondering since you're the resident coffee expert if this is true, or if it's bad to do because of moisture in the fridge etc. Thanks buddy.

Here's a comparison between the Kraken Keyboards keycaps and the YMDK ones:
