who wouldnt take that trade

fervent breach

he would be like

#

My children will have no artefacts and have all the frames

fiery sail
#

nah he gave all the artefacts to the british museum

young spoke
#

real

#

i’ll take them

pulsar briar
#

Sup

young spoke
#

bit of an exaggeration but close enough

fiery sail
#

doesnt mean they shouldnt apologize and give them back

young spoke
#

they should

#

i just think the british museum does have a purpose

fiery sail
#

museums are great

but it would be, you know, nice if there was consent on how something got there

young spoke
#

seeing those indian pots being smashed when transferred from one museum to another like 10 years ago still
hurt to this day

young spoke
#

our pockets weren’t big enough to fit the pyramids so they’re still in egypt

i love this quote

i have no clue where i saw that first

pulsar briar
#

Bro why cant you change your server nick here!?!?

young spoke
#

dang

fiery sail
fiery sail
#

half the server competes on how many symbols they can put in front of their name to appear at the top in the server list

#

the other half disobeys serever rules and perma nickname changes to make bans more stressful

fiery sail
young spoke
#

especially mfs who put ! in their name to be at the top but never type

fiery sail
#

2 idiots 1 thought 😄

young spoke
#

literally only two of them have ever sent a message

fiery sail
#

how are they regulars then?

young spoke
#

they signed up to floatplane

fiery sail
#

buit that gives only the floatplane role doesnt it?

young spoke
#

wait no i’m stupid

#

not floatplane the forums

#

the ltt forums

fiery sail
#

thats how u get the role?

young spoke
#

if you sign up there and link discord you get role

fiery sail
#

linking to llt forum

#

wild

young spoke
fiery sail
#

im past that by now

#

xD

young spoke
#

go ltt forums

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

im pretty sure you can edit your server profile to edit ur specs into that

#

so you have space in your pronouns for well... pronouns

young spoke
fiery sail
#

tbf discord has about infinite places to put some form of status now

young spoke
#

that’s genius

pulsar briar
young spoke
#

lmao

pulsar briar
young spoke
#

lmao

#

that’s funny as hell

fiery sail
#

just to give u the insights, doesnt come off well if i know nothing about you and ur using pronouns to "troll".
just leave it empty tbh unlesss u literally go no space anywhere

#

trol lis wrong word here

pulsar briar
young spoke
#

i find that absolutely hilarious

#

so much so that i’m doing it too

flat dock
#

how get from 59.998 hz to British museums

young spoke
#

i don’t care what pronouns you use for me anyway

fiery sail
#

in most places its people who dont care leave it empty and bigots use it for other things, pretty nice to sort the flat earthers from the people u can actually interact with without them telling you how the government is lying to us

young spoke
#

i just genuinely don’t care what pronouns you use for me so comedy is appropriate

young spoke
#

also it’s one of the main things on the top

fiery sail
young spoke
#

those are wild

fiery sail
#

like noone judges u instantly unless its 100% obvious bigotry/troll

#

but queer people will feel more/less comfortable without knowing u first.
but prefering comedy/showing ur specs is totally valid too

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

dont feel pressured mate 😄

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

also love how they introduced it, people just used it as a 2nd status

#

and discord notices wait

#

ppl need more places in their profile to express themselves

#

and added 2 more

#

xD

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

never used that, how do they do it there?

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

i mean i can seee that to make trolling with it difficult

#

but only if people have enough space

like, just make it a checkmark if it shall be pronouns or a 2nd status

#

"i dont want to use pronouns but i would like to tell ppl more about myself without coming off as someone who hates queer people"

#

its not that hard

pulsar briar
#

Im surprised my how quiet this server is

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

public and tech chat is usually where the spam is i think

#

this channel is more quiet which is why i like it

#

like u can actually read the messages

pulsar briar
#

Prolly cuz not everyone opted into this channel

fiery sail
#

and this is more like a place to get help with basic questions for people

#

whilst this is a nerds can nerd with other nerds baout hteir favourite topic

#

and btw thanks for listening ,means a lot ❤️

pulsar briar
#

Maybe I should do a scince experiment abt the different opinions on the servers

fiery sail
#

that would be interesting

pulsar briar
fiery sail
#

not at all

pulsar briar
#

Dang

fiery sail
#

nibbled a bit in every topic so i can understand the experts and help a total beginner

#

monitors im very familiar with i'd say

pulsar briar
#

They got a guy over there who like everyone knows and recommends

fiery sail
#

we got the realforce is better guy

pulsar briar
#

Ah

fiery sail
#

they like realforce keyboards btw

#

if you couldnt tell

#

maybe the guy who everyone recommends on ztt can learn sth from them

#

anyway, bedtime for me (european)
so have a nice one mate and welcome to the server :3

no

I have a redragon k630 60% keyboard and for some reason my 2, w, s, x and left alt button are not working at all. Ive tried keyboard testers online and there is no response at all. Is there any possible way to fix it?

worldly garden
#

is that hot swap

worldly garden
#

people will good in a field or so

#

they combined

young spoke
#

why do my keycaps always break man

#

my ak820 enter key cracked

#

and like 4 of my attack shark £10 set cracked

fiery sail
#

id say maybe bc they are 10 bucks but if other barnds can make entire keyboards for 10 pounds that last decades if not centuries there shouldnt be an excuse tbh

young spoke
#

yeah

#

i’m going to get some decent shenpo keycaps

worldly garden
#

those buys will add up and when u realized u should have get a good set of keycp at first

hey everyone, i'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but basically ive just gone and purchased myself a 5080 and i really don't want to use the stock cable that comes with it so i just thought i'd ask any ideas on what cable i could possibly get for it?

i’m just curious how they are so cheap

bitter oar

lower qc

young spoke
#

place your bets on how many of them are dead on arrival

bitter oar
#

from my experience 2-5% of leobog switches tend to die after about 2k presses

young spoke
#

i can do 2k presses per day tf

bitter oar
#

yeah you should buy spare ones, i see manufacturers that use leobog include extra switches because they’re likely aware of the higher rates of defective switches

worldly garden

Only buy one single leobog fot grabs kek

young spoke
#

lmao

young spoke
#

i just want them for fun

#

also they’re £3

#

good switches to practice soldering on

yeah even if 10% of the switches die after 100k presses that’s still cheap

i wouldn’t use them if you’re soldering them tho

i would expect it to just get raw events

since the scroll lines doesnt affect how many slots it scrolls ever

or alternatively get a new mouse

thanks, maybe should have checked their site myself sooner xD

bitter oar

and it's overpriced

#

great 200 missclicks

fiery sail
#

i dont get how its so impossible to not spend triple digits on just something to hold the switches i already have

fiery sail
#

what would i be looking for on liexpress? just good deals on tsth or specific brands that arent usually available?

bitter oar
#

or do you want tkl

#

100%?

fiery sail
#

90% or more ISO-DE that has 5 pin hot swap switches

#

anything else i dont give a damn

bitter oar
#

oh iso-de

fiery sail
#

yup

#

thats the problem

bitter oar
#

the one with split shift

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

akko?

fiery sail
#

i mean im fine reprogramming keys but i would like to have whatever the is printed on the key to also be what i type

#

and not have a random symbol on top of my Ä key

#

so to get ne w keycaps as well it would need to be really cheap

bitter oar
#

1800/100% iso/iso-de is the hard part

#

under 100

fiery sail
#

ideally i would want to be sub 100€ including everything but i already kinda settled on 120
switches cost me 30

#

so 90 for the rest

#

not a strict budget bust i essentially im just trying to get a more quiet keyboard

#

and spending 200€ or more just bc of 1 thing isnt really what i want

#

so +/- 5 or 10€ is fine

#

but again, technically i just want the cheapest thign thats can hold my 5 pin silent switches

#

and keychron products in germany for whatever reason are quite expensive

#

cheapest i have seen was 115€

fiery sail
#

cheapest one in akkos store is a 60% for 97€ xD

#

a lot of these specific keyboard brands are weirdly pricey for no reason here

bitter oar
#

: /

fiery sail
#

epomaker is the only one thats ok and actually has a good built in silent option

#

but their DE layouts arent available and wont be restocked unless they arrange an agreement with some local tech stores

but that would be the first time ever a store here would stock mechanical keyboards.
like legit some of them are thousands (!) of square meters, have 100+ keyboards on display and all of them are rubebrdome

#

but at least its 2025 and they have 8 shelves full of CDs and another 15 for DVD and blu ray.
i wonder why they struggle and the 2 biggest brands merged and still lose money.

#

im honestly quite close to cutting and sanding off 210 pins to get the 5 pin switches compatible with a 3 pin keyboard

#

(voiding warranty in the process)

#

and there are legit 0 3 pin silent switches out there i can find, even on aliexpress i found nothing that can be shipped to me

How would I be able to tell if a keyswitch marketed as a silent switch is actually meaningfully more quiet than a standard one, short of actually buying one.

(Ideally looking for a silent tactile)

flat dock
#

This is a rare case where I'd say a sound test is really important

#

What are you looking for, I may know a bit about silent tactiles

spare iris
#

The main reason I want silent keys if possible is that I'd be using this at work (office setting) , and I don't want to accidentally annoy my coworkers. Pretty much almost all my actual previous experience with keyboards has been membrane ones, but from my (very) limited experience with mechanical keyboards I have a slight preference for tactiles, but I don't know anything further really.

#

You can check my previous posts for more context, but basically this is the last main thing I need to figure out before buying everything (well, this and waiting for a numpad I like to become available, I need all the keys those usually have which limits me somewhat)

flat dock
#

Normally I would recommend the TTC silent bluish white but I've had almost 300 of them and they all eventually develop a quiet clicky sound for some reason

#

@spare iris have you tried brown switches before? would something similar to that be good

#

that could be what you mean by tactile

spare iris
#

I'm pretty sure those (Cherry Brown) were the tactiles that I tried out. Wasn't really listening for the sounds when I tried them, but from my understanding mechanical keyboards tend to be slightly louder than membranes so I'd want to counteract that.

#

akko penguin are what I'd call silent. especially if you use them on a stiff plate like aluminum so they aren't so mushy

#

they're quieter than membrane keyboards in my experience

#

The penguins are an easy recommendation because of the price

The Penguin switches mark Akko's foray into the realm of silent tactile switches, making them an excellent choice for office environments where noise minimization is key. They feature a fairly rounded tactile bump, providing a satisfying feedback with each press while maintaining a quiet profile. Being of medium weight, these switches strike a b...

i’ve spent $30 on keycaps alone this week bro

$70+$60

$130 total

i’d save for a keychron K10 pro

what about mouse?

yeah i’d say V6 for $65 or a K10 pro for $80

how heavy are you used too

pastel kestrel

Yk those really old mice

I wouldn’t say heavy more like normal?

Not light

young spoke

i mean the mouse i use is 130g

typically i’d recommend a simple attack shark x3 for $25 but that’s only like 50g

i’d definitely try a light mouse what games do you play typically

pastel kestrel
#

Most fps games though

young spoke
#

oh fps games?

pastel kestrel
#

Yep

young spoke
#

i’d definitely recommend the attack shark x3

buy it off aliexpress though it’s like $40 off amazon

if you don’t like it you can always return it and get a heavier mouse like a g502 or m913

a keychron K8 max or Q3 is my recommendation

the x3 is a bit better imo

attempt to press dpad left and dpad right at the same time

It DOES NOT feel good when doing anything but the 4 cardinal directions.

so what’s the point???

it’s meant to be an 8 way dpad but is only good when going 4 ways

I mean it works but I don't like it clicking twice when doing anything inbetween.

I rather my membrane 360 dpad.

give us keyboard switches inside dpads

what id really like is the return of analog face buttons

The G915 was 350$ CAD and the Nomad was 350$ USD

Did the nomad provide any special features

Or is just the brand makes up the price ?

vagrant zealot

It also has a screen for widgets but that didn't matter nearly as much as the software experience did. (Cool gimmick.)

#

If I wanted it purely for screens I would have gotten a Unicorne.

Also the devs are extremely receptive to feedback and suggesting something on their discord actually has an effect.

So better software and screens

The keycaps aren't ABS which feels like shit.

The screw holes are fragile and two of them have already broken, one was from the very first disassembly

My right shift key has stopped working, haven't sent about RMA because of tariff stuff

The latest firmware sources arent released despite marketed as a qmk board (although typical for most Chinese companies since it's hard to penalize them)

I haven't encountered these yet but I'll give my brother a heads up on the screw holes when he eventually takes it apart.

The good is that plastic sounds great and the entire keyboard sounds great although kinda makes every switch sound the same

vagrant zealot

Yeah, I thought it felt and sounded great for plastic.

They put a screw into plastic and I don't know who does that

They could have put in metal threaded inserts at least.

its not even plastic threaded, its just a hole that the head holds onto the edges

sometimes i also wish laptop CPUs or other parts other than SO-DIMMs would be more easily available.
would be so cool to buiild a mini PC myself with one of the new ryzen "my favourite buzzword AI" 3XX APUs

especially because most available ones right now are like 800-1500€ because sure i need 128GB of RAM and adding a USB port justifies 200€ price uplift smh

actually putting the keyboard on top of the regular laptop would work i think

young spoke
#

i saw a mini pc the other day with a laptop 3070

#

they need to make more mini pcs with laptop gpus in them they can cool themselves a lot better then a laptop can cool it

fiery sail
#

i like mini PCs more for being able to be portable so you can take it to work and have a screen there and take it home, slam a desktop GPU into a 20$ eGPU stand and be good to go

#

often better performance than doign the same with a laptop for same or lower price even if u have to buy an extra monitor

#

and you dont have the limitations that laptop screens and keyboards bring with them

#

for 4/5 people a laptop would just be better still, because e.g. students (and most some jobs) just dont have a fixed workplace with a setup monitor and especially if you can work/study while sitting in the train (and get paid for that time)

and i just got a confirmation email my wooting refund got accepted
