I mean they get paid a lot of money to play video games, I'm going to assume the trend of tilting their keyboard for comfort like that isn't an accident

My plans for next weekend:

With a teensy inside that terminates in a Hirose 4-pin locking connector, and a Hirose-USB cord. I need to pick up some paracord or something to sleeve the cord, though. I'm also going to click-mod the orange ALPS switches.

I have a damped white AEKII coming too, and I'm planning to remove the dampers and install the same connector/adapter.

It doesn't feel cramped at all when I'm doing vim or internet clicky stuff. When I need the arrow keys, it sucks rear end yeah.

why would you ruin a perfectly good keyboard by doing this, instead of by using an external USB-ADB adapter?

Mainly because it fits the aesthetic and it locks in.

this looks bad because like 3/4ths of the keycap you dont look at and they have this big continuous pattern so it just looks like random poo poo from the top

tbf even if they did a proper position match, it would look like poo poo in a few months after the tops rub off

in other keycap news, maxkey is shaping up to be an interesting alternative to signature plastics sculpted sa keys:





maxkeys on the left, sp on the right

couple kerning issues, no meta key, however they're proper sa doubleshots

fairly cheap if you can figure out taobao:

cherry for sure, not sure about the quality though

maxkey seems to be making a name for themselves, but yeah it's a first gen clone, so ymmv

91$ shipped makes it hella attractive though, especially since it's impossible to find a similar round 5 kit no matter how much money you throw around

are you a topre or alps fan? or something strange and exotic

also, $75 for ABS... dunno. PBT I'd already have pulled the trigger but between cherry-only (probably, let's be realistic) and ABS, it doesn't seem like such a great idea

doubleshot pbt keys don't really exist though

can't really speak for the quality of these specific caps, but ds abs is thicker than bargain bin keyboard abs, you you end up with nice stiff keys. doesn't solve the shine issues, but you can always resurface them if it bugs you
