enthusiast keyboards and enthusiast headphones in a nutshell.
except the diminishing returns stops at 50usd or however cheap you can get a keyboard that you can build yourself, i think Drop has one at 80, reason for importance of building it yourself ofcourse being that you’ll be lubricating the switches to make them as premium as possible which is practically where you will not get any more returns on investment thereafter, feel wise anyway unless you want to count mounting method and mounting material which does much less for feel than what the switches themselves does.
my preonic is 100% percent alluminium, not counting parts like pcb, switches etc so there is definitely something to be said for that when looking at the pricing

the differentiation is so important i feel like. is it a bit silly to spend 150usd for a keyboard though? sure!
for a custom 150usd is pretty descent, you can get down to 80usd with what is being offered on Drop iirc
you aren’t wrong, if you are looking to make a quick buck and have designer tools available to you that you are trained in it’s probably the community to target because they are willing to pay anything for steel as long as your design is pleasant
i see now i should have went with a gray like this, i don’t think the snow white is that bad so just having one of these grays in place for the black would have done a lot i think, yap, time to waste more money, money sucks

Took the 7 day not much time to do anything at the port other than walk around shopping trinkets or go for the beach trip for a dip in the turquoise water. If the water is still turquoise, i went 10 years ago. Get hammered and comeback with a Tshirt.

Just put in another order to Amazon, this time for my girlfriend since I gave her my old Mad Dog’s…
An EMK 6’ cable for the Mad Dog’s, a third Raspberry Pi4 with the same aluminum Flirc case and 32 Gb micro SD card, and an ifi Zen DAC.

When you see it, you really do see it… That’s the first pic I’ve seen of it in which it doesn’t look neon, bioluminescent or “biohazard” red.

The Ifi AC Purifier arrived this evening. Of course, I ripped out and relaid the power plant before it’s arrival:
Now, this may be pure placibo effect, but as soon as I plugged it into the strip I noticed that all the pilot lights on the power packs seem… brighter. I’ll know more tomorrow morning when I log on and get the day started.
The USB Recover module comes tomorrow. And then I thought aboout it some more… LOL!!.. and thought “Heck, I have gone this far, might as well replace all the Ethernet coming into the laptop with double shielded high-speed stuff”. So I ordered that today. There! 
I think I got everything covered now!

The first track (Bombtrack) of Rage Against the Machine self titled won’t rip. It says “read error” within the first 2 seconds of the song and then says it will take hours to finish, even though it plays fine off the CD.
Does anyone have a good solution to this or should I just go find a download for this track on the seven seas?
