Yeah, I can use an animated one. Should probably be added to the list of features. I would propose allowing animated gif avatars for everyone, not just the people who can afford $250 to the site. That's enough to buy a decent used last gen GPU.

Is it? Let me check. That's in the thread. Says nothing about it. I could test and try uploading an animated gif, but with the filesize limit and size being so small, I doubt it will work.

Lovely. Title should read: "Scientists give us another scary and extremely dangerous invention with the potential for abuse, just like they gave us the bomb."

Hi guys. I'm suggesting, if it is possible with this forum package, that we allow a choice between a round or a square avatar. Further, I am suggesting a higher file size limit, possibly the current one for regular members and larger for premium members, as well as allowing larger dimension avatars. Finally, I am wondering if we could possibly have animated gif avatars too. Thanks for the consideration. ~neuro

Got any pics? How do you like the Box Jades? My first custom build was a GMMK with Box Jades. Now I have one with Box Whites, Box Navy, Box Pink and Box Pale Blue.

Thanks Flux. You're right about the time of year too, and getting something within a year (which is why I don't do group buys or drop). Yeah, I used a Model M as a kid in typing class when I was a kid. We had a Macintosh at home. I can vividly remember the sound and feel because it was SO better than the Macintosh keyboard at home. You are also very right about the Unicomp and they would be better than even the cleanest Ebay board that would set you back $200 from what I saw. New springs. I've asked for a lot this year PC wise from my girl, so I'm thinking of waiting like til my birthday next year to ask (July).

I agree 100% on the Unicomps. If you want, you can even get them in other colors like black. But for me, the OG model that's just gray is what I'd want because it's almost like woodgrain and brushed aluminum on a stereo, or woodgrain in a very old car. It's classy and classic.

Alright, so the custom build for my wife for Christmas is finished. I could post a bunch of pics of the build process, but I don't want to clog the thread up more than I already have so I'm just posting the finished pic. This one will definitely be shared between the two of us. It's going to be wrapped up to be opened on Christmas, so I'll do a typing/sound test video at the end of the month. YUNZII/Keynovo IF98, Kailh Box Pale Blue switches, POPKEEY *Cinnamoroll keycaps, ThreeBulls red o-rings. Please add it to my list in the spreadsheet, @Supercrumpet * Cinnamoroll is a Sanrio (Hello Kitty) character. He is a puppy with a Cinnamon roll shaped tail. He has very long ears that let him fly. Being with a Sanrio fan for 17 years, you become one too, lol. Cinnamoroll is my favorite Sanrio character next to Keroppi the frog.

Here's Box Jades:

I'm Santa. Probably won't be able to do gift cards again for a while, I *might* have a suitable prize to give away next month though.

Fair enough guys, fair enough. We buy too much stuff on Prime. I'm spoiled by it and spoiled in general. My wife also pointed out to me in the review that there is no such thing as 11/31. Sorry for my complaints here. I was just frustrated at how long it took to ship, but point taken that they're a small business etc. Also, if you check other people's reviews on that judge.me site, you can see that they DO (or did?) package the switches in the foam blocks with a square cutout for each switch, as mentioned - the proper way. The packaging is cool but these cost $63 for 110 switches. If they cost $50~ and just came in a big bag I'd have preferred that. Thanks for the feedback/constructive criticism. Also, sorry for my multiple posts in a row and if I'm annoying anyone following this thread.

The switches came but I'm about to go to a concert. Here is how they were packaged, in a tin inside some plastic.

Also, we did click their review link in the email. It goes here. I left a one star review because of the shipping thing, and it is not visible as the last review made. If you filter by one star reviews you can see it. They have no Google listing where you can leave reviews knowing they are shown, including the bad ones. Basically they curate what reviews they show on that judge.me site to make themselves look good. If you can get switches or anything else from NovelKeys, kbdfans, Amazon, or a host of other reputable sites I suggest you do. And avoid switchcaptain.com. Even if I get my switches, that 7 days to mail it after the shipping label was created is ridiculous.

So for the keyboard build I'm doing, I can't really progress on it or put it together because I don't have the switches for it yet. It has the stock keycaps and Gateron Yellow switches removed. I am waiting on switchcaptain.com for 110 pcs Kailh Box Pale Blue switches, we ordered last Thursday and they made a shipping label but didn't actually take the package to the Post office until today, and it's saying that I will have them on Monday by 9pm which I assume means Tuesday. It basically took them a whole week to deliver the switches to the post office. Then we get a survey letter in an email. Basically asking us for a review and saying "Hey, you've had your product for a while now, can you please do a review and get $20 off your next purchase". But I don't have the product and it took you an effing week after creating a shipping label to deliver it to the post office

"Have you looked into Unicomps? I think that's what I'm leaning towards as far as finally pulling the trigger on a buckling spring board one day, but I'm not 100% set on that over an actual Model M just yet. " I have in the past. They're the company that makes brand new Model M keyboards using the exact same remanufactured parts and switches as IBM did in the 80s, right? I should look into that because most of the cheaper Model Ms I saw on eBay yesterday were discolored from UV radiation. One in good shape that is the original color is like $150-200. This one looks great and the price is decent: Unicomp, Inc.: Classic 101 White Buckling Spring USB WWW.PCKEYBOARD.COM

Hey @Sir Beregond Not the most enthusiastic video, he says they are just ok. Not good, not bad. But maybe you can tell from the sound test if you would like them or not.

So since I'm an idiot and on a lot of prescription drugs atm, I am trying to figure out when this foldathon starts and ends for me. So I can add it to my calendar. Is it only a 2 day foldathon or 3 day? I'm in UTC -6 so I know it starts for me Thursday, December 21st at 6pm my time. But I'm so confused on when it will end, will it be the 23rd at 6pm?

Well, hope it is stable for you. Yes, the board manufacturers put more effort in on the Intel side but AMD support and features on the boards have improved greatly since the Phenom II and FX days to where the features and support are pretty close to as good as Intel... I suppose you have no reason to post in this thread anymore, then?

So in the reviews for the board I'm doing, people said the switches are really hard to get out. The YUNZII/Keynovo numpad I did last year was a nightmare. Thankfully, they are quite easy to get out on the YUNZII IF98.

So in a Discord DM, Supercrumpet suggested I document the process of building the board I've got for my wife to keep the thread going. You can either read and look at these posts and follow along, or ignore them. A bunch of stuff came yesterday:. We have the pink plastic cover up top, keyboard in the center, and Cinnamoroll keycaps and red o-rings at the bottom. About to open and test the board and verify it works before getting to removing keycaps and Gateron Yellow switches. The Box Pale Blue switches I ordered I will have ???. We ordered them last Thursday or something but USPS tracking says shipping label created, item not yet delivered to post office and it's said that since Thursday. EDIT: Tested it and everything seems to be working fine. @Sir Beregond you might like a board with Gateron Yellows and blue O-Rings, they are linear switches and very quiet. Here is a pic of the board stock before I remove keycaps and switches. In the top right was a removable aluminum rectangle that had the famous Japanese wave art on it, no good for a Cinnamoroll keeb. To my surprise, it had switch sockets underneath (For Print Screen, Scroll Lock and a few others missing)

You could try Kailh Box Burnt Orange (tactile, 60g actuation) or regular Kailh clone Browns. There is also Kailh Box Silent Browns. For a swappable board, I'd recommend a Keychron K8 Pro which is what I have with Box Navies in it. If price is no object. ....what can I say, I'm a Kailh fanboy
