I always wonder how much of my blog here should be keyboard related. Namely because I think that my life is a lot more complex than keyboards. But I do know that most traffic here would be from my keyboard side of things. At the same time, I wonder how much my art and drawing should be mixed into my YouTube, Instagram and all that.
In any case, here’s a general update about keyboard life from me:
1. I have become super lazy about soldering and desoldering things. I really think that I’m just lazy, and its not because I don’t enjoy it. I like the process of troubleshooting, and getting the whole board set up real nice, but it’s just so tiring to keep on changing my switches and all that. Just so lazy. Really happy to keep on typing with my HHKB, or with switches that have lived in boards for months now. Last year at this time, I was changing the switches every single week.
2. I have totally enjoyed my long pole switches, to the point where now I’m not sure how I feel about regular switches at regular length. It’s almost like what’s the point of getting a typing experience that feels like this, if that’s all I have. In any case, I’m just apprehensive about installing them because I don’t know if I would like them anymore.
3. I enjoy using thinner keycaps. Never thought I’d say that. Also because I think I’m very used to the thick keycaps from all the MT3 and SA profiles. So it feels like a thinner keycap is more enjoyable at this point.
4. I’m actually really late on rebuilding a specific board. I received a full sized Filco Majestouch board from a friend, and I honestly want to rebuild it. I have a full set of keycaps that are gonna go really sick with it, and I had gotten some extra switches just so that I will fill the whole set. But man. I really am so lazy and its taking forever to rebuild.
5. I actually feel like I should go on stream again some time soon. This is super long overdue, especially because it’s really been ages since. And I think doing some of these on stream would be a great way to restart my twitch channel, and motivate me for my YouTube as well.
Ok! That’s about all I have for today. Done.
