@Mondobizarrro Yea I picked the keycaps myself. I really liked the retro look.
I also picked navy box kahle switches (it along with the jade are the loudest switches on the market, the navy being significantly heavier.)
@Mondobizarrro Yes I have a model T as well and used it for quite a while. One of the keys however has gotten a little funky and I havent had a chance to fix it.
I do love the buckling spring old stuff.
@Mondobizarrro I just wish they made hot swappable modern switches that were buckling spring types with the nice loud click of a model m... oh well the switches I have are still pretty nice with a fairly unique and distinctive sound and feel.
@Mondobizarrro you always have tactiles for that,all the feel none of the sound.
I myself love the sound, the louder the better. In fact I added a speaker built into this keyboard and controlled from the firmware directly. I intend to use it to make additional clicky sounds when I type.
@freemo@qoto.org I built both the Romeo and Discipline V2 kits, really nice keyboards and a decent amount of soldering involved. Take the Romeo to work with me.
@amoonrabbit Are those older nullbit keyboards I dont know about?
There was a decent amount of soldering here too. From start to finish it took me a full day with no problems or issues other than one slight one. I am fairly expiernced at soldering though
@freemo@qoto.org don't think it's nullbit, but still fun to build. https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline
@creamqueen awesome, triggering you just makes this all the more awesome... thanks for that!
@creamqueen LOL is making up random shit with no connection to reality supposed to upset me? Cause all it does is show your a nut job.
@freemo Looks pretty phenomenal. Makes me wanna do the same.
@wholemilk If you are comfortable soldering its worth it... Each of the three components took me about half a day, and thats with hot swap. Would have taken less time with direct solder.
@freemo It is like cooking for yourself: it gets better because you did it!
Does it work well? Tell us how your tests go!
@admitsWrongIfProven Works better than any other keyboard... largely because its made to be super customizable. It also has a ton of interconnects, so all the raspberry pis can talk to eachother. The firmware has a ton of features. It even can fake clicky sounds when you type, lol.
@freemo But.. does it feel good? Is the clicky doing the "what i mean"?
Does it work like it is meant to?
@admitsWrongIfProven Well I got to pick the keys and I went through a lot of samples. So it should be no surprise its perfect for what I want. That doesnt mean I'd recommend it or you. My top priority was being as loud as possible and my second was the highest weight. So I wound up with objectively that (after a lot of research). IIts the Box Navy by Kahle if you want a loud one with a lighter touch then you want the box jade
@freemo Fuck yeah - a loud machine if what i want!
@freemo Say, do you know the BOFH? Clickediclick it goes...
@freemo You're in for a treat!

A series of someone thinking "What could someone with IT knowledge do" and no moral inhibitions. Enjoy!
@freemo Yes... let the realism flow through you...
