Hah well played, I thought it was showing the price. Didn't notice the negative savings.

Probably not unless one of the off-brand trackballs I tried accidentally had them, and I've been full-trackball since I ditched the desk a few years ago. I'll try one next time the wife needs a mouse though.

Cool , I don't need RGB so I keep it turned off. Battery life seems to be pretty decent. Not sure what it would be if you keep the lights on.

I've been using a Razer Basilisk v3 Pro for a while now. It feels better built than the last Razer mouse I tried (Naga Trinity I think?), but most importantly, It has the closest scroll wheel to the MX Master 3S that I use for work. Not a cheap mouse, but if it holds up it'll be well worth it.
All I wanted from Logitech was to put the MX Master scroll wheel on a gaming mouse with 3+ thumb buttons and they never did. Even if I had to replace their shit switches every few years I would have bought a mouse like that.

Snagged this to give a try. It's a great feeling keyboard. The thock is incredibly satisfying. It's mostly plastic, so the price is a bit high, but it is great to type/game on. 8/10
Also snagged this keyboard, corsair K65 with hot swaps. And the creamy silents. 7/10. The switches are veeeeeery smooth all the way to bottom out.

Crazy how far computers have come from when I first got into them. That first keyboard looks cool as hell but, yeah, if the premium feel isnt there $100+ seems a bit much.

I hate looking for new mice. The Naga Hex imo was perfect. The thumb button placement is just great. 6-7 buttons , close with a thumbpad in the middle for easy access. Every other "mmo" mouse either the front/back buttons are just out of reach for quick use + the software tends to be shit. Currently using the Corsair Darkstar because its "close" but the buttons are just kind of in shit locatins. The middle thumb bottoms are just super awkward to hit . Software for corsair has gotten better but I still feel the older Razor software is still the best for bindings/macros.

Considered them in the past but I need a mouse with a lot of thumb buttons. I hate taking my fingers off movement keys for any WASD (ESDF in my case) games. Also WASD people are weird considering ESDF leaves your fingers on the home key(s)

Have you guys tried this?
I've been playing with it for hours. The git connection stuff doesn't work for me on 3 different browsers, but the json export works. I don't think it can import the json back in though.
A big standard:
A compact ortho
I had an even more compact ortho but I didn't take a screeny of it

The last day or two I've gone deeeeeeeeeeeep down the keyboard rabbit hole.
Been watching vids on making keycaps, how to print stuff on them etc.
Haus
have you tried making keycaps out of metal? There's alot of resin vids on youtube using silicone molds, but I'm guessing that would melt if you poured molten alum on it

Yeah, silicone doesn't hold up well at all to even the lowest temps of molten metal.The last day or two I've gone deeeeeeeeeeeep down the keyboard rabbit hole.

If I were to try to make keycaps it would probably be along these lines :
- Print keycap on nice resin printer for best quality
- Sand print for additional smoothness
- use sandcasting to cast print in metal of your choice. (Easy paths would be zinc, die cast, or aluminum)
- Do minimal machining to clean up, the tricky bit would be the + hole where it seats onto the switch.
Maybe a different, slightly more redneck approach would be to :
- design and 3d print just the top of the keycap, cast that in metal (using the process above, but probably getting to mostly skip step 4)
- 3d print the "seating part" for the bottom of the key, probably in ABS, or on a resin printer in an ABS-like resin.
- Small dot of JB-weld to attach seating part to metal top cap
And now my autist brain has something I want to try out this weekend....
This is what the bottom should look like :
Then this is the top side :
If I were to do this to do a whole keyboard between the time designing all the keys, printing all the keys, sand casting all the keys, then hand finishing the keys, I would probably charge someone around $500-$750 for that set of keycaps.
If I had a good metal CnC/Milling setup? I would still probably charge $250-$300 for them in brass, but they would look absolutely glorious.
Now , on the other hand, your keyboard would now weigh probably 2-3lbs more.
